save-the-date!

Hope the card speaks for itself.
It’s one month from now, and am pretty sure you can guess my feeling by now.
Happy, nervous, depressed, confused and all sorts....?

All my lovely besties are coming.
Except my dearest Nazlin Shakir. Leen, if you’re reading this – I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!
When the hell are you comin back to Malaysia…? Ehem, kepulanganmu dgn designer stuffs itu mmg senantiasa ku nantikan ngeh ngeh ngeh.

Ok, you get my name now :)

of being 25th

09.01.09..........i'm officially 25 today yippie!!!
wishing myself a very big HAPPY BIRTHDAY & wonderful year ahead.
thanks friends for all the wishes and to Maklong Nida, many thanks for the cake. love you lots and lots, even the cheese cream really really need me another series of long hours on treadmill later :P

remember my rambling on bridalhouse hunting? i dropped by the "3rd bridal" yesterday. Baby wasnt there, so the whole consultation was done by Rohaizad. nice person to deal with, i must say. i was so happy to know they have the flower stands that i wanted, something with candle holders. they just bought for last weekend's wedding, no wonder la before this Baby kate xde je mase i nak yang skali ngan candle lalala...

i just requested for 2 flower stands by sides and a cream backdrop with few fairylights.
the whole idea was make it simple and sweet. nothing less.or more. no chandelier as suggested by Rohaizad due to my ehem-budget friendly effort and sebab keduanya takut my dad marah kalau nak tebuk2 lubang nak gantung chandelier tu huhu.

i insisted makeup to be done at my house, malas nak kelam kabut running from house-shop vice versa.

paid my deposit & walked away..........happily :)

btw, this should be celebrated for my 100th entry ;)

tailoring with Kimie Kajang

finally last night we met Kimie Kajang for tailoring our baju tunang.
Kimie took a look once again on my kain "eh, Jakel pun ade kain ni ke? dulu Euro Moda je ade"
sian Jakel telah di-underestimate, lagipun design kain tu pun dah out quite a long ago hehe.

liked our session with Kimie. apart from reasonable price, his fussi-ness & advice are qualities that i look for in any service, nampak sikit passion dalam membuat kerja tul tak? bukan sekadar tailor yang amik baju customer and terus jahit ikut customer nye taste without consulting design tu sesuai ke tak ngan customer tu.

Kimie didnt like the idea of lining my kain with my another (cheap) chiffon. Reason being, kain akan senang tercarik especially bile kite nak duduk nanti. i didnt know that, and thanks for reminding! told Kimie that i didnt like super shiny satin for lining. "Kite terbalikkan je, so x shining dik"

He tried to best match the lining and suggested the cream satin to bring out the glittering beads.
After few demos kat depan cermin, finally bridezilla ni pun agreed hehe. "Nanti abg Kimie carikan kt Euro Moda sbb abg dpt discount". Itulah antara kelebihan buat/beli baju dgn diorg lalala...

he sketched out the kurung moden, with mermaid-design for kain nye. dying for pumpkin arm, but i rase x sesuai kut dengan beads tu..menambah2 volume utk i yang sememangnye "volume" ni huhu.

Kimie also reminded to be careful when sending chiffon for dry-cleaning, ramai yang x pandai and in the end chiffon tu shrinking and rosak. he suggested me laundry nearby his shop, he claimed that uncle tu buat manual and mmg lembab gile. asalkn puas ati, i ok je lembab2 pun hehe.

dotty punye baju melayu pun buat dgn Kimie. but i insist on NO sulam2. reserved utk nikah lah pulak k :)

deposit paid and i can collect my baju on 7/2 & next one week for any fitting...


that's all folks! btw im in penang now, nak sambut my parents returning from Hajj.
miss them so much........

Pameran Pengantin 2009

after a rushing morning @ gym, dotty & myself finally made our way to Pameran Pengantin 2009 Ampang Point. we didnt expect much cos we've been to similar one in Plaza Alam Sentral last time. heavy rain, traffic jam, parking full etc - not really worth going, i must say :)

some i could conclude :

1) Bridal wear
definitely LyndaRahim's. been admiring the white kurung with colorful beadings for so long. haih mesti by my time, design tu dah outdated kan..

2) Dais
Arjuna Cipta won my heart. think whites.think crystals. and bunga sundal malam.

3) Doorgift
Dinigift, still. The rest macam tak banyak choice. I'm fine with homemade chocs, but box tu jangan la kasi yang cikai sangat kan?

4) Cupcakes
Nothing really impressed me. sorry to say, the bakers were just there for the sake of participating not into business, really. dah tahu nak display kt exhibition, letak la design yang berseni sikit. blah.

5) Photographer
Ade pun 2-3 je and Adan lah kut plg ok. honestly, im not a fan of one. gamba cantik but album dier kureng. masih tahap2 album kilat yang snang lekat cap jari tu. official photog Siti tu huhu.

6) Catering
No comment cos i x food testing pun even they did offer..masih kekenyangan :P

7) Reception hall
almost heart attack when i saw Dewan Tun Rahah's new package. i always considered their package as most value for money dulu2 cos rm25++ je dah boleh dpt dome style and it doesnt come with ridiculous pelamin, cake, doorgift. but now? cheapest dome is rm50++ p/head with pelamin. nooooo!!! rate tu dh mcm dewan perdana felda ok? (which pelamin is like worst ever being invented!!). if nak sewa dewan tun rahah je, rm10k. gosh?! tepakse la ubah our wedding plan ni sob sob.

that Tun Rahah news seriously was not a good one and i need something to R&R my frustration hehehe. maka, burn jua lah few hundreds for my first Marc Jacob's. new shade, ala2 Paris Hilton. perasan gile :P

also bought myself new GUESS bracelet watch. Tissot discount sikit sgt, so x mampu...

somehow this caught my attention !

more and more whites...

fountain at the back of pelamin. hmm, menarik :)

friendship & little peep toe

i'm listening to my current favourite duet Lucky while writing this.
and today i really really had something that i wanna blog about.........

my dear shafaf is coming to my engagement!
and yup, she's all the way from kerteh to my little hometown, penang.
she was about to book Fireflyz tix while talking to me. i almost cried bcos i was so touched :)
but feeling nak nangis tu terbantut bile dier ckp "kalau ko x dtg engagement aku nanti siapla..sampai mati aku ungkit hahaha" ceh, dah agak dah :P
i'm still smiling, since shafaf just gave me a reason to it - a priceless friendship :)

btw, i accidentally got myself a pair of this. simple, yet enuff to fit my engagement baju, u think?
harga? sangat murah. rm29.50 from Vincci the saviour ! :D

flowery mini glass

for those thinking of DIY-ing your doorgift or any wedding decoration, these mini glasses from Ikea might be perfectly made for YOU. mini candles, or sweet smelling potpourri, ribbons, mini flowers - any of these crossed your mind? i did, at least ...!

do you hear me..?

Lucky - Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat

Do you hear me,I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Oooohhhhoohhhhohhooohhooohhooohoooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music, feel the airI'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now
