Been a while since i last blogged..I've been juggling between works and personal matters these past few days that i have lost track of time....but i have, at most times, concentrated on my personal matters that i have began losing focus on my works and it has now affected my career..wish i could have a wedding planner..that would certainly ease my burden..
sigh..just a wishful thinking
anyways, i am on mc today. having a runny nose and a bad cough while working is certainly not my forte as i could easily be irritated at almost EVERYTHING. so, rather than losing my energy at scolding ppl/clients unnecessarily, i chose to be resting at home..my home sweet home..
so by staying at home and having a me time definitely gave me the advantage of doing more research on my wedding..and that was when i realized that i have been neglecting my blog quite shamefully..it is supposed to be my journey to become one with him, but it was not reflected that way...so caught up with works and endless researches made me neglect my own wedding blog...oh well, i will just make do with the time that i have..last time i checked, 6 months to our nikah day..today, i have checked..and it shows approx 4MONTHS..yikes..excited and scared, that is how i am feeling now :)
anyways,
cant wait to start my life with him in our new house..oh alhamdulillah we have managed to get a house, a brand new house..it will be completed insya Allah December 2012 and we can move in 2-3months after that upon getting the CF..syukur alhamdulillah our housing loan was approved and everything is now settled, alhamdullilah..it is called Paragon 93 and i am so happy and thankful for this rezeki Ya Allah.. :)
this is the common toilet for bilik bawah.. :)
view of the living room taken from the kitchen :) i loveee whitee
dining area...
this is the sole reason why we (or should i say, "I"..hehe) bought this house..our very own courtyard IN the house..cant wait to see when it rains.. :)
the tingkat in bilik bawah which you can open and see who is actually is the living room..it opens up to the courtyard
this is what you see when you open the window :)

master bathroom
master bedroom
the courtyard taken from the upper floor view...that tingkap belongs to the bilik bawah
syukur alhamdulillah...it costs us rm500++k and it is an intermediate unit..i have personally chose unit/parcel no 10 to coincide our nikah date, 10th of nov :)
anyways, enuff yapping about our dream house. lets move on to what i have intended to write about...my HONEST review on my engagement vendors :)
here goes :-
a) food (C.T Catering)
i personally like their professionalism....i would really recommend them to you guys who are still finding for catering services..eventho they came a tad bit late on my E-Day, but they get on doing their work fast. and very efficient..food wise, heard lotsa reviews from guests..but mostly good ones..their waiters are quick and well-mannered..i didnt hear any bad reviews about their waiters..their ayam masak merah is nice but maybe coz it was cut into tiny pieces, so it became hancur sikit..and ayam dendeng not really their forte..nasi was sedap and everythg else was superb..especially their teh tarik..they didnt use serbuk okk, they used real susu f&n for their teh tarik..i have asked for them to cater teh tarik again for my nikah, special request from my mum..huhu :)
price range is quite affordable, and service is ok, up to their standard. CT Catering has been long established and thats why i think they really control their professionalism and service..
my review : 4/5
b) dress (sheila mo.hamad)
ok.i have been dreading to do a review on this.my personal thought of her is that mayyyyybeee she has loadsa clients when i approached her and just mayyyyyybe she has forgotten to do the things that i have specifically requested her to do on my dress. no doubt it looks simple and nice and quite appropriate for an engagement event. but i had specifically asked her to do certain detailings on the dress itself, namely :-
a) to add on the button bulat2 at the back (she calles it "butang cik abang tolong") instead of making just a mere zip..but she didn't do that..she did a zip :(
b) i didnt ask for a trail..but she gave me one..awkward for me who wants a simple dress as my event was done at home, not at any dewan..i dont need that trail..her reason : my tailor saje buat..terlupa la tu nak potong *wth???*
c) we have specifically asked her to terbalikkan the satin for my tunang's baju melayu as he didnt want the kilat part to be shown outside.he wanted the kilat part to be on the inside and the not so kilat part to be on the outside...
but what did he get?n what was the reason? same as (b) :(
further, my tunang has asked for pockets dekat seluar. the first time fitting she didnt do it. after my tunang has pointed it out, she said she will do it and return the baju melayu to us duly rectified. but did she do it? what do u think? sobs. my tunang was soooo marah that he sorta lashed it out on me coz i was the one who proposed to use sheila's service at the first place..huhu
takpelahh...i am a pretty sabar person. but my fiance?huhu..just to inform we only paid 3/4 of the initialed payment after my fiance called her and complained.she has noted and agreed on the things not done and hence, she has agreed on the deduction payment by saying "tak paa..berapa2 pun boleh bayar"..
d) i think the detailing was maybe, a tad TOO simple for what we have agreed and paid for...but whatevs la..nasi sudah menjadi bubur
she is actually a pretty decent and nice fella. her house boutique is in Puchong 2, which is wayyy wayyy to far from my house. but disebabkan teruja dengan hasil kerja dia di magazine, i didnt care about all that..sanggup tu travel as far as puchong 2 semata2 to have a discussion with her
but tu lah..maybe not my luck..maybe yours will not be as mine..maybe i have opted for her service on a wrong timing. sigh
nevertheless, my dress looks...em, NICE..it's just my personal feeling that it should be BETTER based on the above
my review : 3/5
c) MUA-Laila Rohani
i thought she looked tough. and she is..hehe..she is that sort of a person who does not care what people think about her as long as she has her way and do her work the best that she can be..which is good for me but maybeee not good to some of my siblings..hehe..they thought that she is a snob.. :)
anyway, she was punctual..came around 6pm, started doing her work at 6.30pm and finished by 8+. as the rombongan came around 9+, she stayed with me and re-touched the lippie, the blusher and what not just before i was called to go "menghadap"..hehe..she is real nice and like a big sista...i feel like if she is my sister, she will go belasah whoever bullying me..huhu
anyways, my personal view bout my makeup..at first i thought it was sooooooooooo tebal as i could not recognize my own face..i have specifically informed her to go gentle on the makeup as my fiance is not one who likes his girl to be soo "contengs" by makeup..huhu...i thought i looked like cleopatra, what with the straight cut bangs, deep eyeshadow, heavy colored bronzer and foundation...most of her makeup thingy is by MAC, by the way
however, when i look at pictures (with the right lighting or whatever u call it), i see how it actually blends somehow. the eyeshadow, the nude lippie, the blusher...it looks natural...for night make up, it looks effortlessly made up :)
after make up..kak lai.la rohani TV3 :)
my review : 3.5/5
d) OP and OV - La Television and Photofreak
hmmm, what can i say..disebabkan nila setitik, rosak susu sebelanga
we were engaged on 12th may..
and its July alreadyyyy...
and we still did not get our album and our video YET despite countless numbers of follow ups
the owner, Azli was nice the first time we met him..
i still believe that he is one nice, decent and hardworking dude..proud to have a working malay dude like him
but what makes us really turned off is his admin/PA/bini or whatever you call it...no PR..no sense of professionalisme..
u have got to master your EQ when dealing with ur clients ok..
u have got to master your EQ when dealing with ur clients ok..
when asked when can we get our album/photo, the reply that we got from his lady PA was :
"awak nak tau ke turn awak?takut awak terkejut je nanti"...
or something like that
seriously dude.. tskk
last we checked, azli said he will post our vid next week..
our album? he said its on the way..wallahualam
hope for the best je la
my review :2/5 (2 is for the extra effort yg azli tunjukkan masa event tu sampai terpecah prop pelamin)
to be continueddddd.....
