The Finale

Wedding reception at Ampang side was the final ceremony in my wedding saga. Alhamdulilah, everything were smooth and beautiful ;-)

To all bride-to-be, I was never a die-hard-bridezilla. 

When Things Are Going To Be Completely Different

22 January 2011 - 22.01.2011
Dewan Nikah Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur
11 am

Alhamdulilah, we are now husband and wife  ;)

2 Days to Go

Can u actually believe it? I'm speechless actually.

I've collected all the outfits yesterday (was supposed to collect on Monday-then Tuesday tapi ada a few little things tak settle lagi-finally yesterday baru everything siap). The personnel whom I dealt with was very nice so I didn't put pressure on her. I must say that, I love all the outfits (to my preference it is). Nothing exaggerate, just the way I want it to be :-)

Basically the colour for all three outfits:
1. Nikah - White + touch of silver + detailing of pearls, sequin and beads
2. My reception - Bila dah jadi baju, more to silverish grey + touch of pink (detailing)
3. Bertandang - Tiffany Blue + white

Well, do not expect something like Jovian's, Lynda Rahim's or who ever else's wedding dresses la. Hehe. Everything is simple but to me it's more than enough (went a bit off from budget though) *pening kepala*

Today: Am going to send pictures to be printed, go to the bank, beli bal lampu!! buy fruits for hantaran, meeting with the DJ and collect the cake for hantaran

Tomorrow: Will have to send chocs, fruits and cake for hantaran to the hantaran maker in Ampang, petang go threading and collect all hantaran bawak balik rumah, then malam pakai inai. My inai will be the traditional ones, no henna drawn will be drawn.... Get ready for Saturday.

I've yet to vacuum and mop the room, rearrange some items in the room. But I've changed the curtain and the bedsheet, got rid of a few things from the room supaya tak semak! Put the picture frames and the vases at the places I wanted. Oh, and the room has been painted in white. Bilik pengantin pun simple je, I want it to look descent, no frills no whatever langsir etc. Just bed, a nice bedsheet, approriate curtain, wardrobes, side table, table lamp and mirror. Most of the things are from Ikea, thanks Ikea (except the bedsheet which my aunty bought from the States).

Shall continue later.

Perempuan yang jahat untuk lelaki yang jahat dan lelaki yang jahat untuk perempuan yang jahat, perempuan yang baik untuk lelaki yang baik dan lelaki yang baik untuk perempuan yang baik.” (Surah an-Nur':26)

Can You Believe It?

4 days left, can u believe it?

I have mixed feelings, excited + worried + scared and what not. I'm getting pretty excited because Jun agreed to be my MC!! Thanks Jun!! Tanya dia if she's interested, and she said she's been dreaming to be an MC but didn't know where to start. Hehe. She's so energetic and awesome. My bestman - Dilla pun awesome and very helpful. I love u too! I have awesome friends. Can't thank enough to Hani and Aimi for coming back from Brunei and Ireland respectively. Oh and Aida too, whom will be back from Pahang. Hehe. These are the friends that u can call "FRIENDS" :D

I'll be on leave from Wednesday 19 Jan and will be back at work on Monday 7 Feb. Thanks to the public holidays and weekend, if not cuti beberapa hari je :D

I'm picking up my nikah & reception outfits today, selendang nikah and custom made reception shoes. Going to decorate and clean my room tomorrow, and threading too. Thursday will be occupied with a few other things including picking up the hantaran cake and beli buah for hantaran. Friday will be so bz as I need to send chocs, cake and fruits for hantaran to the hantaran maker in Ampang, and amek hantaran once siap, and pakai inai after maghrib and be READY for saturday morning.

Still haven't finalized on how to wear the tudung.

Wish me luck!

Grateful

I was on my way to Jab's place using STAR LRT. Took the wrong train, the one to Sri Petaling instead of Ampang. Saw this kid Q-ing but not in line (which I don't like) so I didn't give way. When we were in the train already, I saw him talking to the other boy he called "abang" then later when he had to change train at Show Lin station (me too) and he departed from the "abang" n told him "jumpa di asrama". Means he's from a boarding school somewhere.

He looks naïve, innocent and hardworking. I don't know why I felt pity (maybe because of the innocent and naïve face). Started a conversation with him while waiting for "Ampang" train. He's a form 4 student at a Vocational boarding school in Slim River (Perak), 1st from 7 siblings, his mother is a housewife and father is a government driver. He's home is somewhere in Tmn Maluri (Cheras). He's back for the weekend, carried 3 heavy bags and a bagpack, one of carried bag is spoiled. Continued chit chatting even after we got into Ampang train. And before he said goodbye since he'll stop at Maluri station, I put a RM 10 note in his school's shirt pocket with an advice "belajar rajin-rajin". Did give some advices about real life when I was chit chatting.

Now I'm thinking that, I should have given him more than RM 10. But somehow I felt relieved and very grateful to Allah SWT for everything I have. The least I could "help" tho it was just a red colour note, just for him to use it for his expenses, takde la banyak mana pun. Tapi I could see his "thank you" face though he looked very tired, he did say thank you :) budak yg sangat beradab.

Told Jab, and I didn't like his response to my story.

Told my mom the story, and how Jab responded and she said, "men are different". To me sedeqah doesn't mean to anak yatim sahaja, it could be to anybody that you want to give. I just hope this kid has a good future, insha Allah.

Not that I want to tell the whole world about my good deed ke ape ke, tapi... This is what I feel. And for other people to think that there are people who are less fortunate than we are, trying to fit into the expensive materialistic world.

Mixed Feelings

16 days to go.

Some of you might think, "apela nak count down and what nots". Now I how it feels, the clock is ticking yet so many things to be settled. But I still take things easy. Hee hee. Just that, I can't really concentrate at work =p Bare with me these few weeks/days because I'll be writing a LOT of wedding stuff.

I have collected my wedding ring and I'M SO LOVING IT!! It's simple, but something he could afford with his own earned penny :) When the sales person informed me that the ring is ready for collection, I straight away went to the boutique and collected with a lot of excitement. He he (Tho actually I've settled down at home after work and all) but the excitement made me so eager to collect it that moment jugak. Tak kesah lah the place is quite distance ke ape ke. I'm just so happy right now, alhamdulilah :)

Things are relatively moving according to plans, most of the important things have been either deposited to confirmed or on its way to compare (kompang etc) Yes, I want to hire orang main kompang, like real kompang, bukan bunyi radio. One of my course mate will be the MC, just in time when the bride and groom walk through the isle-intro a bit and what not, a DJ to play my desired songs, cleaners to clean the dewan after everything ends and security guards to take care of the traffic on that reception day. Cars with "pink/fuschia" card boards will only be allowed to park their cars at the designated parkings inside the premise. Sape nak, angkat tangan!! Hee hee

Will be collecting my nikah and reception outfit, selendang nikah, selendang for bertandang, custom made reception shoes and reception veil this Friday, Insha Allah.

All in all, everything is simple, nothing exaggerate. I want it to be simple yet beautiful in my eyes. Both families are quite laid back, so I'll just keep things nothing exaggerate. Coz we will still have to invest for the after-wedding-lives.
All weddings are beautiful, but some exaggerate wedding events are very very beautiful - beyond words can say. A girl may always dream ;-) If you ask me, what is my dream wedding outfits designer (may it be for nikah, reception) is Radzuan Radzwill. I love traditional things (maybe with a bit of modern touch) but I've always love what he has done to every baju pengantin yang dia reka. That's my dream designer.
My dream wedding would be, dekat tempat yg luas sebab I want the transparent tents with lampu lip-lap tu, all things white............................. Ok, enough. Cause nothing in the above mentioned dreams are being implemented =p
