Tunang Ideas

alhamdulillah..

after months of thinking, ive finally decided on the theme for tunang..

considering that my family have the Malacca's Baba&Nyonya's blood in us, ive decided to use "Baba Nyonya" as the theme for my engagement..woot!hehe

so when my siblings and i went out to mamak for dinner just now, all was cleared and settled (at last!alhamdulillah)

no doubt i had few options before this on the theme. first was the Batik theme, then the Arab, then Moroccan then polka dots..huhu..the latter was hilarious come to think of it. imagine my khemah to be decorated in polka dots. eh, tapi mcm comel juge..hehe :)

anyways, in view that engagement is usually considered as the female side punya majlis, i thought, what the heck. this is the time and opportunity to introduce to my partner's family about our family's heritage, no? for me, engagement is like perempuan punya majlis and nikah is a joint occasion. takkan i nak terhegeh2 buat theme baba masa nikah and my partner takde theme since his whole family are purely 'Kay Ellllss' people..*ee boringnya..huhu*

so, this whole thing has made me giddy and excited.ive started on identifying who will be gadis dulang aka "The Girls".of course ive list out all the comel2 and eliminated all the tak comel girls.hehe.jahat..so ive came up with the list of The Girls :-

1-Erin

2-Adik

3-Ana 

(1,2,3 are my sisters)

4-Iza - my close friend

5-Nadia - Erin's close friend

6-Aby - Adik's close firend

7-wawa -cousin

Attire for The Girls

The Girls will wear baju kebaya pendek nyonya with make up and hair-do will be done Baba&Nyonya style..

 

something like this :) 

And i wana buy them these kipas tangan too...

and paired it with this very the Baba&Nyonya beaded shoes...but i know it would cost me a bomb. so, just another wish hehe 

Hantaran

My hantaran to him (7 nos):-

I have this crazy idea to go to Malacca and get this Bakul Sia as the base for the hantarans...but this  bakul doesnt come cheap i tell ya. the cheapest you can get is around rm50 for one, and that is in small size. when i was younger, ive spotted one or two of these lying around in my rumah kampung but now there are gone. either kena songlap by cousins or was misplaced somewhere. if i knew that this bakul would cost me a fortune, i myself will songlap the bakul and simpan it for my engagement day..hehe

bakul sia

maybe i can get imitations like these bakuls so that it'll be cheaper..and i dont think much deco is needed on these bakuls.maybe few flowers here and there would be enuff :)


His hantarans to me (5 nos):-

I am not sure if his aunties would want to decorate it themselves or just leave it to me to decide. but that wont be appropriate, i think? hmm..anyways, just in case if his family leave it to me to do for his hantarans as well, i would have to find something to symbolize Baba&Nyonya to go along with the theme as his hantaran's base..TBC

Pelamin

Not sure on how i want my dais to be like. but i want some Baba&Nyonya theme to be injected on the dais a bit. Maybe add in one or two of these?

and this looks nice and authentic..deco for the pelamin maybe ? :)

Khemah

I really have no clue on what my khemah would be like but i know that it would be transparent with fairy lights and chandelier as requested by yours truly to the vendor. however, i am  undecided on whether i should do it at night or siang2 like norm. initially i wana do it at night coz it'll be cooler and mainly because of  the transparent tent.huhu teruja. but now, i was thinking to do it maybe after zuhur? so that i can go somewhere with The Girls and take more photos with them..hmmm...TBC

Food

this is this not decided yet but all i know i want white rice and lauk2 kampung. the lauk still need to be discussed with my family, what with Papa wants to masak lauk itik (malaccan tradition) beramai-ramai...TBC

MUA

ive verbally booked akak laila rohani TV3 (refer this post). but deep down i am a bit skeptical if she remembers me and jotted down the date and the details. reason being is that she didnt ask for the booking like most MUA. guess i need to call her and keep reminding her on the date once in a while. but i kinda feel that rm500 is a bit expensive for makeup and hairdo just for tunang?or am i being a cheapskate here coz its not everyday that u will get dolled up right?might as well DO IT RIGHT..huhu..tak kisahla..this one, TBC

MY BAJU

uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...i havent decide on it yet.seriously need to think abt it now that JAKEL is doing crazy sale (but bila je jakel tak buat sale kan?hehe)..i need to start thinking on the style, the material and most importantly the TAILOR..ive sketched up on the styles (refer this post) but still havent decide yet..need my kakak to think for me pls..hehe

phew.quite a long entry i got here..okla, wana sleep. toodless :)

p/s :currently waiting for the approval of our housing loan application. Ya Allah, mudah-mudahan loan diluluskan. amin :)

OUR new house.. =)

Ok, i know that the title of this post dah lari dgn motif of this blog.....but who cares

im sooo happyyy alhamdulillah * jumping jumping hehe*

seriously shocking. how a sudden move can turn your life upside down! hehe

to make the story short..went to MAPEX 2011 at mid valley..surveyed few props..was focusing on landed properties..sgtlah mahal and tak termampu rasanya..even more so if the property is located in the heart of KL..pheww..millions i tell u

since i am working kat tgh2 KL and he is working in shah alam..so we thought we wanna focus on the location. so location wise is our top priority. next is the price. then the design and built up..then the market value and density..and also whether its freehold or leasehold

this time around, our pencarian is more telus, in which we zero-ed down our choices on the prices and the whole nine yards. kalau property murah, we asked why murah. if mahal, we asked why mahal. we asked who is the developer and how long dah the developer beroperasi (sbb takut byk developer la ni bankrup  even before rumah siap). we asked whether is it still under master title or individual. we asked this we asked that. this time, we berhati batu, if u know what i mean..hehe...not like last time where we saw, we like, we booked..without asking many questions. hint : One Damansara :)

so we surveyed and surveyed. and masya allah, we found this booth. agak kesian coz mcm tak ramai org. saw a paper plastered dkt the mock-up model punya cermin :

- 0 down payment

-free SPA and MOT

-free loan legal fees

-rm5000 booking

-2 1/2 storey

we didnt give it much thought at that time. just took the flier and masuk dlm bag yang some other developer kasi. so jalan2 and after terasa kaki nak patah, we decided to stop and keluar from midvaley to dine dkt hafiz corner

so masa dkt hafiz corner, we took out all the fliers and examined it one by one..TTDI grove looked very tempting but rm10000 booking. sigh, mana nak cekau dlm satu hari. there's this one project in Puncak Alam. masya allah sgt2 murah..rm306k for semi-d cluster..gile murah..pay rm500 for booking and the house is insya Allah yours coz it's zero cost

we were ready and pasrah to really take the property in Puncak Alam seriously (walaupun 1 jam lebih wei jarak dari office. gile) sampaila we came across this flier. name of the project is Seri Wirani 8. took my breath away like seriously! show my bf and he too was taken aback by this rumah lepas checked put the website here. quickly called the agent's number and confirmed rumah tu the purchase price is RM610K but the Developer is giving special discount up to 10% discount (WHATTTT??!!)..huhu

the agent said just pay rm5k. no need to pay for anything after that. even that rm5 will be refunded upon vacant possession..weeeeeeeeee sukee!

so esoknye we quickly make a dash to the site office. ABSOLUTELY loveeee the show unit! bincang2, anddddddd MADE THE BOOKING! huhu. alhamdulillah. no doubt ada sedikit drama between me and my bf but all went well. the house is ours (well partially since loan taktau approve ke tak but according to the banker who roughly calculated our commitment and all, he said we can afford. so PASS. verbally that is..hehe)..still cant beat the feeling kalau loan tak lepas..wuwuwuu..really2 want the housee!

its 20 X 72', RM550K (after discount, zero cost, ada wood floor panelling (which i totally am in lurve) and 2 1/2 tingkat..huhu..suke la sgt2 :)

enjoy the piccas

ours is intermediate. tak mampu nak beli corner. mahall =)

 

the stairs leading to the first and second floor

the living room and the dining area at ground floor

dining area at ground floor

living room area at ground floor

him checking out the balcony at the second floor..ni lah family room dekat second floor, floor plg atas. cozy sgt with the wood panelling tuu =)

i didnt (terlupa sbb teruja sgt..huhu) take pictures of the first floor tu. basically first floor consists of master bedroom and 2 bedrooms je. no area to lepak. naik tingkat atas baru ada family room

sighhhh...completion date is approx august 2013. 9 months after we are married, insya Allah

mudah-mudahan loan kami diluluskan ya Allah. Amin =)

*content*

alhamdulillah :)

mantilla veil

this veil is suupperrr gorgeous

hearttt :))

back on track again

major changes happening to my wedding prep

yang pasti, mah.ligai cre.ative (MC) will not be the vendors for both my nikah and sanding coz KA (formerly known as THE partner) tetiba rasa yg RM9K just for pelamins is wayyy to expensive..

to be honest, i think so too but kept my mouth shut all this while coz i really like MC and was pleased that we've booked them to be the vendor for pelamin. huhu. but KA put some sense to my *kelabu* mind yesterday and emphasized on how expensive they've charged actually..

but i really like MC still :( 

anyways, i dont know how but we've managed to come into a win-win situation..actually i think i yg byk "win"..huhuh..coz i've managed to persuade KA to still hire MC for nikah andddddddd RINS SU.ZANA for sanding! weeeeee....hehe...i like most of their bajus and since we will just rent out baju for sanding and ive thought abt RINS but tak sangka when KA called them yesterday nite, the wedding package which include pelamin hall, baju sanding for guy and girl equipped with accessories and all, plus makeup, 6 walkways anddd arch for rm4500 is still available!weeee...that would definitely save us sooo much more and the most important thing isss, KA agreed! :)

now what we've gotta do is just to fix an appointment with them and test baju. hopefully they have baju dress ala2 princessy and english themed colour pink and lavender plus male punya suit..huhu..cant waittttt :)

soo, till later :)

....

u have planned but sometimes the plans will not turn in your favour

crushed, sad and disheartened

ud think 4 years is a looongg time for you to put your faith in a relationship..ud think ur relationship is rock solid and nothing cud make it turn sour

"the past is like a handful of dust
it filters through your fingers 
disappearing..little by little 
i wish for one day, i could go back 
in another life i would do things differently.."

midnite idea

MUA

tunang - laila rohani (RM500-booked)

nikah - vee elfaiizien (emailed her to ask for quotation..hehe)

lets wait and see :)

Wedding Updates

Last week, i went to my friend's wedding in Kulim. The bride and groom are my close friends and they have been solemnized on 11.11.11. Such a nice number, no? :)

Me and friends couldnt make it on that 11.11.11 itself, so we have only attended the reception. It was just another wedding that ive attended to. However, ive noticed that when we are getting married, we tend to examine all the details to every wedding a lil bit more. hehe..semua nak scrutinize, from pelamin, baju, kasut, food, pa system, hall deco...everything lah. and we start to make comparisons to OUR own soon-to-be wedding..hehe..am i the only one who felt this way? :)

anyhoo, last Sunday (12.11.2011),  ive managed to grab myself (or more appropriately, OURselves..hehe) the live bands that i have been eying on..THE RAW NOTES...

ive been particularly eying on azri from the raw notes coz i like the songs and how they have played the songs using the musical equipments..jazzy with a bit of classical hint..so after explanation by Jeff from the raw notes, ive made the booking for RM100 and another RM400 is to be settled by end of this month...another RM500 to be paid next year on May and the balance is of course, after the reception itself..

huhu..SUKEE..alhamdulillah :)

when i told my elder sis about it, she asked me to demo to her the songs by azri and the band..maybe the quality of the vid tak berapa bagus coz suara azri tenggelam dgn suara2 the guests..dengan gelak ketawanya...so we cant really hear his voice, and to top it off the songs that he sang was oldies songs, sorta slow and soothing..jazzy..

so sis said, tak sesuai la coz the selection of songs mcm lagu2 main dekat hotel lounge or coffe house...plus, tak berapa dgr.. i told her tgk pa system la. if pa system tak bagus then  mcm tu la bunyi dia..she asked me to google on azie and syed sobri. hello, they are artistes, i bet sure their service charge is thousands..sigh..takpelaa..so long as i have azri. maye i can work on the songlists..spice it up a lil bit...hehe...am considering p ramlee's songs :)

so, entertainment-settled :)

then we have also singgah D'Mawar Catering's booth...chit-chatted a bit but we found that D'Mawar is a tad bit expensive for our budget..terus i ajak my partner to go and see kak ros from Sri Payung..he has previously called Kak Ros before and from the way i see it, kak ros is friendly on the phone. the package that sri payung offers is also lebih byk drpd D'Mawar..so off we went to Sri Payung

Sri Payung is located dkt Taman Pandan Utama. The landmark is Masjid Al Falah. Very near to my house actually. Sampai-sampai, trus jumpa Kak Ros. She is one friendly lady, indeed. Full of tips and very kakak-kakak gitu. hehe. we instantly felt right at home talking and negotiating with her. chit-chatted and talked and after discussions, she gave us the quotations..

so, the quotation? very very reasonable :) siap ada kambing bakar lagi..hehe..

so all we need to do is to discuss with both parents and if everyting ok, pay the first RM500 to kak ros by end of december to lock the date :)

im not working today..so ive been hogging to the internet since morning..hehe..im currently surveying about tailors on the designs and price...and i saw this...

from syomir izwa..noiceee..

i like the material, the color, the hair, the flower, the bouquet..just like how ive always imagined myself on my engagement day :)

anyways, tgk dekat facebook all his (or is it her?pardon my buta-ness in the fashion-world..huhu) collections..cantik..but from the comments ive noticed it doesnt come with cheap prices..sighh..and i think syomir tu mcm sombong and arrogant je? from his/her facebook, several peeps asked on the prices and all and he/she replied in the most curtest way..thats rude, i think...hmm..jawap sepatah sepatah je and no sense of friendliness langsung? correct me if im wrong but i always feel that 1st appearance makes the biggest impact ok..

anyway, more research to do :)

toodles

Baju Tunang

last Monday, partner bought this mag for me :)

and suddenly, byk pulak dapat ideas for my dream baju tunang...

hasil from my magazine cut-out and ideas, presenting my Plan A and Plan B baju tunang... :)

                        Plan A

                        Plan B

Plan B is something like this (minus the heavy beaded veil and the top yg banyak kerawang2 tu and also the material for this bride is a bit satiny for my liking whereas mine, material is heavy chiffon and the detailing will be focused on the leher part, the hujung lengan and maybe hujung top tu) :-

yang mana satu pilihan hati? we shall wait and see :)

10.11.12-booked!!

hehe..

syukur alhamdulillah..went to the dewan today and checked..nobody has booked the dewan on 11.11.12.. :)

that means..i can be nikah'ed on 10.11.12 and have my recep on the next day on 11.11.12 :))

syukur alhamdulillah..hehe

after re-booking our date, we went to mahligai cre.ativ.e and changed our date. alhamdulillah, it was all breeze.nobody has booked the date.we further clarified abt the caterer as well, i.e mahligai se.ler.a.....apparently the caterer is also under mahligai cre.ativ.e, but parents dia punya

the verdict : so-so

takpela, i have one year and two days to go and check for the best caterer..hopefully i can find one with a good deal..and paling penting the deal includes meja and kerusi...

then went to jakel, got stucked there with desperate salesgirl who desperately wanted  us to purchase the kain and desperately didnt want to let us go..i was put in a very very uncomfortable situation, what with the salesgirl really pushing her luck for me to buy the kain and with the partner who constantly gave me the evil stare when i was about to melt with the offer..huhu... in the end, he won. we left without buying anything, not that we want to anyway.but the good thing is we now know our budget for our kain tunang. :)

our tunang punya theme colour : champagne..so we tried to mix and match the kain..from rm700+, they can give us rm450 and that is for both lelaki and perempuan..best ok!...i am solddd already but partner, being the ever sensible one, asked me to sabar and tungguu...huhu...so tunggu we will :)

also, go-see this one kwsan perumahan in kampung lanchong, in the township of so-called subang jaya..why i purposely put there 'so-called' is because it is not really in the township of subang i think, mcm dah ke ulu sgt dah..purchase price is rm330k..my view : definitely not a good investment. dahla ulu sgt, then it is constructed right smack out of nowhere..dahla jauh from the town, jalan masuk dan keluar ada satu je, which is such a turn-off coz jalan tu betul2 mcm nak masuk ke kampung...no-no u-uh..BIG NO NO..kensell

then, went to one damansara coz we intended to check on the progress (sebenarnya nak kuatkan hati ni takmo tgk rumah lain..hehe)..found out that dah naik level 6 dah..yeayy :) really hope that we can masuk the house in december :)


lepas tu, jln2 that area and found one new residential township with nice double-storey houses. most of the purchase price that we have inquired by calling the agent is around the range of rm7++k..huwaaaa :( terus down kejap as it has been my longtime dream to own a landed property.. :( partner comforted me with his ayat2 bunga and i was calmed :)


after that, jumpa our photog n videographer. major problem. we wanted to change the date but apparently ada org dah book and paid the depo before us and that couple's wedding is also on the very same date that we have chosen.huwaaaa...its only ethical that the couple should be given the priority but still, I WANT MY PHOTOG & VIDEOG..met the owner and his wife and they are such a pleasing lot, friendly and warm. but too bad we have to let them ago or if we intend to keep them, we can only use their services for photog only..the couple who booked them first on that day can only re-confirm their dates by early next month, whether they are going to use my photog &videog on 10.11.12 & 11.11.12 or 09.11.12 & 10.11.12... so i guess we need to pray hard and just wait of there is rezeki on our part to use them instead of the first couple...


all in all, such a profitable day


10.11.12...bring it onnn baybeh :))
