bride's bibles...

im suddenly in a very blossoming blogging mood. but without any specific entry in mind.
.

grabbed my sleek Samsung. finally. and these being snapped on impulse.
thought it would be good for today's entry. They're like bible for any bride; NOT necessarily a must but still a good one for reading or at least an eye pleasure. they get me excited on weddings, on and on without fail :)


...and they're from my last 9 mths' collection. stop judging as if im planning for wedding of the year, because honestly i am NOT. i'm just another typical bride - excited with the whole idea of celebrating the moment to be officially called as ONE with the other half. and similarly to you, im too expecting to find nice stuffs for my wedding without putting such a big BOMB to my wallet. ok. OUR wallet.


and these mag like a parade of DIY or even a cost-saving-copycat ideas ;) and ehem, magazines are TAX-DEDUCTIBLE item!

PESONA PENGANTIN, my monthly committed spending @ every 15th.

my-two-cents : Malay wedding need, lots to relate with.

RATU SEHARI, quaterly published

my-two-cents : Contemporary, up to date stuffs or should i say a high end Malay wedding ideas?

BRIDAL GUIDE (Msia), the old ones bought during wedding exhibition

my-two-cents : western in Malaysian way.

FEMALE/HERWORLD BRIDES,

my-two-cents : a-la celebrity wedding. glamorous. not to my liking, really.

Others, once in a while wedding feature

my-two-cents : Nona paling best. when they say wedding, yes they talk nothing but ONLY wedding.

Seasonal collection

my-two-cents : think DIY. but some designs are way tooo outdated :P

Martha's . i only buy her past collection, much cheaper.

my-two-cents : sweet and personalized wedding ideas.

or newbies looking for great hue combination for wedding.

Specialist collection

my-twocents : only for serious interest. guideline in preserving, decorating wedding flowers - bride bouquet, flower girl's wreath, table centrepiece and all u name it. a very breath-taking.

Wedding Book, bought yesterday. again? *grin*

my-two-cents : just scanned through - featuring directory of Msia wedding related service providers, with some summary of their signature style/design. for rm19 price tag, boleh la.

if i could conclude, i love Malay or at least Malaysian wedding mag. they have lots for me to relate with, and of course those that your parents would agree with.

unlike western wedding mag, they featured lots of wedding gowns which is not to my interest at all. but honestly, westerners are good at choosing perfect theme/color in their wedding. those romantic-pastel looking really make me weak in my kneeees....

Happy New Year, Brideys!

Wishing you a Happy New Year, be it future or even the past brides!

May 2009 brings us lots of fun, oh and love ...

....it's getting closer peeps

*blushed*

you've got mail!

Few days left for 2009 to come, and it means i'm 25th-to-be this very early January. Check out my advanced bday gift from my fave jeweller, Diamond & Platinum.

RM50 voucher might be too little cut for jewellery purchase. But at least, you're sure enough not being forgotten on your special day, right? After all, that's the least a customer like me could ask - sense of appreciation :)

D&P made their tagline right; "small beginning comes greater things". Very very right.

And for D&P, thanks alot for making my day. Hope to have another yours on my long-to-go big day..

Enni & Syed @ DePalma

a big congratulation to my beautiful Enni & his hubby, Syed. the solemnization took place in Maluri Hotel while the reception was yesterday, in De Palma Hotel Ampang.

Hubby (who blessed with Germany's gen hehe) is dotty's close buddy back then in Uniten. Well, i should say Enni is now my colleague since we're in the same office of KLCC hehe.

Feel like writing out what i really really love about theirs last night......

1) Love the red & white theme

2) Love Enni's simple open-back dress. no tiara, nor veil but even GORGEOUS than we used to know (and love!)

3) Love Enni's hot red bouquet of roses

4) Love Enni's open-toe white heels

5) Love the not-so-deadly-romantic played English songs

6) Love Enni's funny faces during the menepung tawar

7) Love the fresh flowers by their pelamin. simple but very fulfilling!

8) Love the modern combination of red roses, carnations & calla lilies as the flower stands

9) Love the solemnization montage; Enni is still the chatterbox as always haha

10) Love the food, even it definitely ruining my diet :P

Cheers.

pink & blue?

....a little update!

my mom called from Mekah yesterday, unfortunately she couldnt find any nice blue sejadah. instead, she bought something pinkish, handmade and wayyy beyond my budget again.
considering "pilihan mak selalunya yang terbaik", i should say i'm fine with it hehehe.
cemane ye nanti pinky sejadah pair with blue pelikat. selamberrr....!!


before i forget, thanks ibu :)

his sapphire

dotty & myself still on leave today, great. we went to Jln TAR and tempah my plain crystal chain at Semua House. remember i still left with sejadah & kain pelikat for dotty's hantaran? for sejadah, my mum will look out for it in Mekah after her hajj & it should be his favourite blue.

dotty finally picked his blue kain pelikat, to match with his blue sejadah. it was a little extraordinary, as the design came in a pattern of songket :)

reminiscing memory - SAMURA

our beloved SAMURA :)

SAMURA front gate

i really love what we had yesterday...

dotty and myself drove all the way from kl to attend our bestie's wedding in Muar, Hafizul & Zura. Common thing that we shared with this lovely couple is both the lady & the boyfie are from Sekolah Menengah Sains Muar or SAMURA. i was sooo excited to know that we'll pass by our school during the trip .....something like reminiscing our memories back then in schooling (and oh loving) years.

this was how everything started. i used to admire my boyfie since my very first day - i was on the way to orientation while he was making his way to evening prep. i only knew that he was just opposite of my class after like 4 months, and from them on i pun curi2 lah nak tgk dier slalu basuh tgn kt paip dpn our class tu, haha what a stalker!! slow2 after tu, i knew his name and was again excited we belong to same house, the great great BESTARI! Oh ye, kat samura ni dorm/block arranged in 4 house : Bestari, Budiman, Pujangga, Sarjana and we only had form 4 and 5 je, best giler!!

Naik je form 5, our class dh sebelah2..need to pass by class dier dlu before smpi my class, so sempat lah skodeng2 dulu (slalunye x dpt pun sbb dier slalu masuk prep lambat haha...). i was a prefect last time, and one day tu i was on duty to check those yg lewat gi class. and he happened to be late again that day hokeh! so dari jauh lagi i purposely tunggu kt "susur gajah" tu, nak stop him and kunun2 amik nama dier la. time tu mmg buat muke garang la, yela kate pengawas tapi deep down only God knew betape excitednye sayeeee dpt tahu full name dier aritu tau hihihihi. dotty pun siap ingat that moment and gile x puas ati tu i jot down namer dier utk discipline record haha. nasibla...

last 2-3 months before SPM, suddenly his classmate missy "S" came to me and cakap dotty kirim salam. what?! mimpi ke ni??? but time tu i buat2 jual mahal cos classmates dier tu mmg known for suke2 main kn girl and this "kirim salam" thingy might be a trap huhu. rupe2 nye missy "S" yang spill to him that i minat dier (ntah cemane dier tau..) and the response was like, positive ehhe. i pun br tahu after tu that missy "S" used to admire my dotty, boleh?

our very first eye to eye was during Annual Batch Dinner, where we had our pics taken together. we exchanged numbers, and start SMS-ing quite a long while and it continued even after i masuk UTP. we never went for a date sbb jauh, and everything took place through the phone, including his proposal to seriously taking me as his GF. it was the best Valentine's day ever in my life, and our very first date adelah time amik result SPM kat samura. that's why samura meant so much to us :)

we went to bandar Muar thereafter, sbb i dh promised myself nak rase mee bandung Muar yg i x pnah try pun while 2 yrs in samura long time ago. mmg sedap sgt, lain yg i taste kat kl huhu. a windy evening and the town was very laidback - parents brought their kids and play kites, couples came over and have some rojak petis hmm, something that you couldnt find in KL! cos if in kl, couple normally dating in shopping complex and dining tu surely lah nandos lah, TGIF, chillis and all the fine one. i really love today's outing, bringing me back to my used to be childhood in small town of penang :)

after 7 years, lots of thing change in samura but not my feeling to him. it just keep getting stronger, walaupun our fave pau maharani dah xde kt depan sekolah tu hehe.

we somehow promised, that we'll make a return to Muar someday. perhaps after our few kiddies? LOL.
to dotty - thanks alot dear...
