Bahulu Perancis

Macaroons.. Sedap gila, so they said.

My own review, the taste is not bad at all. Like Fad said, mcm bahulu tp perisa lain2. And yes, basically mcm bahulu with a lot of sugar added. I ate more than 2 pieces so I think u cant have it too many lah, rasa mual..

Mini Macaroons from Whisk Empire. The penjaga kedai is good looking =p

Wedding fever

Ran errands today, went to Maybank in Taipan to settle some stuff... Hopefully things will go smoothly with Allah's willing ;-) I have a few intentions if it goes well, and I'm getting married so hopefully things will go well. InsyaAllah.

I'm going to look-see a new queen bed for my room (it'll be bilik pengantin kan) heehee.. Then look-see for things to be given a wedding favours, bunga pahar.. Omg, I just don't know where to start.. Went to see both halls in Bukit Jelutong.. Option (a) nampak kecil, maintenance wise ok, but it's not by itself so parking etc susah. Option (b) maintenance wise (zero-under local council what do u expect), bigger, spacious (tapi seriously kena decorate kow-kow)............................... Entahlah, harap2 ok la.....

On another note, went to Jab's friend's wedding in Bangi..... I like the photographer, and we've asked his quotations for our nikah + receptions (belah lelaki + ppuan)..... Ok pictures *malas tulis

Eid 2010 & sorts

I've lost the passion to write hence a very seldom update from myself. One main reason is due to the internet connection, mom hasn't been paying for streamyx's bill to stop my younger brother who is taking his SPM from continuously be online which he always does. Bosan gila takda internet, and I've been using celcom 3g yg sucks kt Bkt Jelutong.

So, there's only a week left for Eid and so far it has been treating me good. Some pictures fr Eid 2010


18th September @ Aida's
1st raya @ Segamat
25 September @ Faiz's
2nd October @ Sarat's

25th September @ Faiz's


Sometime during the Syawal mth, my parents met up with Jab's parents to discuss on the wedding dates and stuff and we have finally decided on the day. It has been brought forward due to some shortcomings. InsyaAllah, tentative date for nikah is on the 22nd January 2011 and tentative date for my reception is on the 23rd January 2011, with Allah's willing. Preps are so far ok, tawakkal je lah sebab tiba-tibe I decided to quit, pendek kata sbb tak suke.

I don't have a single picture for raya with Jab. But since we went to his friend's wedding today, this is the post raya picture together. Haha.

September has arrived

Pejam celik, now dah September. Eid is approaching very soon, about 4 days to go and honestly I'm in raya mood already. I'll be on leave after raya, sadly the raya eve I will have to work :( Hopefully boleh balik awal dari biasa.... OMG can't wait!!!!! Have sorted out duit raya, senang..... Sebab boleh plan berapa ada lebih.... I have favouritism issue so the good ones will get more, sorry kids. U want more, be good to me. I don't care what ur parents nak ckp. It's my money. In regards to the raya preps, not so much la since dah adult ni. Only tempah satu baju kurung moden, and I have the one time engagement tu, so pakai balik aje lah. Kasut raya beg raya etc tak penting........ Long gone. This is the last raya as an individual insyaAllah if everything goes according to plans....... Anxious jgk :p

And why September is extra special? Because it's my birthday month!! But I don't expect many things, malas.. Nanti kecewa, so we'll see how it goes about that...

Had numerous iftar with friends tapi selalu takde amek gambar pun... So recently had an iftar with geng safiyyah time kat uia, minus Hani because she's now working in Brunei already. It was good, love them all. We went to KLCC and then lepak mamak.... I couldn't keluar awal, so kesian diorg tunggu lama... But anyhoots, it was great :)

Among others:

Birthday Lin @ The Apartment KLCC


Iftar @ Sunway Hotel with Mirage Resources Sdn Bhd


Iftar + Birthday Fadhil @ Delicious Marc Residence
OU with Sab & Jun.


@ KLCC with Geng Safiyyah

It takes TWO to Tango

I bet many people can assume what is the topic all about. Yes, in malay language it says "bertepuk sebelah tangan tidak akan berbunyi"

Honestly, being an adult we do not intend to be an inspector every single time we meet our bf/fiance/hubby and whatnots. But when we dont, things can actually get haywire. In short, do not trust the other half too much that in the end it will cost a heartbreak to yourself. When it happened behind your back, u surely become devastated and damage has been done, no turning back to repair things. All u can do is suck it, move on. Take it or leave it. The wound will never be healed in a short period of time, and when u dont feel right, u intend to bring the past up to satisfy urself and blame everything on ur bf/fiance/hubby. And damage will prolong.

I am not the type who will ambush the third party. I will blame the other half dulu because it really takes two to tango. On the other hand, I am praying that Allah swt will return the same disastrous to the third party. Always have this in mind that karma is really a bitch. The world is round, the wheel is moving.. Doesnt mean u will always be on top, u will be at the most bottom when the time is right. By then only, u wud know how it feels to be the victim.

From my personal judgements (not being perasan or bongkak) but then she is never my standard. But things really did happen and I hope it will not happen again. It is really hard for me to face the thruth, kept saying to myself that it was never a dream.

Mr White HP

Hello.

Fyi, my 7 years Dell laptop has died on me last Tuesday. I was too sad, it helped me a lot during my uni years. But hey, I think it's about time to change, if it didn't die then I won't change. I didn't have the intention to buy so soon coz I have so many other things to consider.

So today I went to the pasar tani with my mother, saje teman die sebab fikir dok rumah takde buat apepe. Went straight to Carrefour after that since she wanted to get some groceries. Went to see the laptops hehe. So without any intention, I bought a HP laptop in white. Hence the title. Worth it jugak la sebab I only use laptop for internet, pictures and dvd. Nothing really requires me to purchase laptops which cost big bucks. So far, it's perfect for myself. Perfect size weight and nice la :)

Easier for me to carry around :-)

The delayed E post

Let me just continue with my engagement post (wayyy delayed post). This is going to be a really long entry (and tomorrow is Monday ya'll, but I still want to rant about it).

Date : 26 June 2010 (Saturday)
Time : After Zohor, started at around 3 pm
Place : Home, Bukit Jelutong Shah Alam
Attire : Chiffon material tailor made by my mother's long-time chinese tailor, then it was sent for beadings
Make up : Bobbi Brown, Subang Parade
Guests : Close family and friends only
Theme : Pink &; white (main taram saje)
Hantaran : Self made, dulang pinjam my mother's friend's since anak die pun baru engaged. It was very simple, we used fresh flowers to 'hidupkan' the simple hantaran. I love fresh flowers.
  • From her to him : Shirt, bunga rampai, sirih junjung, cake and fruits (5 dulang)
  • From him to her : Telekung + tafsir Quran, ring + tepak sirih, batik crepe material (my aunty bought in Terengganu) + chocolates (3 dulang)
Mini pelamin : Backdrop sewa, colour was a bit tacky (sadly) but luckily my aunty added fresh roses left and right and then it looked nice :) Kerusi tu my aunty punya, we all pinjam. Carpets were ours, and my aunties.
Food & Tent : Mother's choice.

Twas a very simple ceremony. Even though it was very simple, I still wanted it to look nice and pretty. Hence we used fresh roses (decors) & daisies (for hantaran) sponsored by my maksu :) Alhamdulilah it all went very well. I love fresh flowers, it makes everything look nice and pretty (to my opinion it is).

The ring was chosen by me, people call it as an "eternity" ring. Pieces of diamonds are all around the ring, tenggelam. My choice always. Well, actually the ring was supposed to be the 'merisik' ring as we didn't plan to have engagement ceremony but then when Jab's family came for merisik, his mother suggested to have engagement since I am the first in my generation to get hitched first. So there goes :)

We didn't hire any official photographer (which I kinda regret actually), pictures were from random cameras, mainly Fad's. So here goes, some of the pictures taken ;)


When I was made up. I just love the product, best!


Lovely friends

They have called for 'sarung cincin' moment. Takut k!

Ada pictures yang I haven't gotten from Jab. Ok that's all. Bye

Of grey, light pink, light green... What else?

Salam & hello all

I've been meaning to write a descent post about my engagement but there are a lot of distractions. Hehe. Btw, today is my mother's birthday. Happy birthday to her! Bought "nasi mandi kambing" from al-Rawsha at Jln Damai Ampang for her since she had this nasi arab cravings. Alhamdulilah, she loved it so much. The nasi mandi kambing was very very good. Actually, I've never tried any real Arabic food (mind u) but twas really goooooood :) I'll go again and have a descent meal for myself soon..

I've been going to Ikea for the past 3 weeks (straight!) to look-see furniture for our future home (insyaAllah). And man, Ikea is the one place u would never go during weekends! Well, I didn't want to go if there were any other options. The crowd was freaking crowded! Dah macam pasar malam, seriously!! We got what we wanted, and then we went off. Serious tak larat! We want Ikea furniture sebab contemporary and nice for an apartment. Tapi mmg sakit hati lah. Aiseh.

Went to see my aunty, discussed about my nikah and reception theme, colour, tailor, attire and etc. Hence the title.... Now, I am confused.
