Of Wedding Favour: Reception

It's already arrived from China. Piles of boxes take up the room space right now. Luckily it's not my room. Otherwise, bertambah tambah stress la kapla ku ini. Uishh..uishh...

Tu dia...2,500 pcs to be added ribbons or stickers for decoration purpose. Right now, have not yet finalized what to put on it for decor. Thinking of little pomander, perhaps. Tapi kang penyek pulak kena tindih.

Of Wedding Dress: Reception

Despite duka lara seperti yang dinyatakan dalam previous entry, sedikit rasa gumbira telah mencuit hati. Eh? Len macam jek ayat. Hm...

Officially booked my wedding gown kat Rawang situ..Tomorrow mahu ukur size pula.

Also, mahu tambah batu bata kasi lip lap jadi disco ball.

All of sudden, rasa nak pakai pearls pulak la :D

Dewan Taman Tasik Ampang Hilir: Gone baby gone...

On the early of November 2009, me and my dad went to the hall for booking. Met En. Naina, the person in charge.  Unfortunately, we were not allowed to pay the deposit since booking for June 2010 only opens on January 2010. Bistu Encik Naina, kalau orang lain nak book date 6th June tu camne? "Takpe, you kasi sini your phone number, nanti kalau ada orang mahu booking I call sama you." Ok, so Encik block kan temporary la ye? "Ya, ya...don't worry nanti apa-apa saya kasi call sama you". Ooo..baik betul Encik ni. Tapi saya dah kena start booking caterer, pelamin, also print invitation card juga. Nanti mesti kena print map sini. Confirm boleh dapat ke dewan ni Encik? "Takpe, takpe. Don't worry. Ni kira confirm la. You book je semua tu. Boleh dah print card. Nanti 2nd January 2010 you datang saja bawak deposit ok?" Okayyy....

On early December 2010, Weda informed me that bookings for June already open. Apakah??? So I rushed to the dewan to see Encik Naina, to cepat cepat depo. Tau tak susah nak jumpa Naina ni? Only managed to see his staff. So we ran through the booking book and guess what? The hall for 6th June already booked by other person. Oh remuknya rasa hati ni. Nak lempang lempang je rasa muka si Naina tu. Janji manis tul. hukhukhuk...Turns out, it's not just me becoming the victim here. I ran through the booking book with his staff yang tak berapa puas hati dengan dia ni, and found out ada juga few brides yang have to back off last minute due to the hall bertindih booking with some vip. Oh lucky nya kamu Weda! Sangat jales okeyh..huhuhu

Takpelah, mungkin bukan rezeki. Mana tau kot kot I dah siap kaw kaw decor kat dewan tu tiba tiba bertindih ngan vip ke kan? kan? Berusaha menyedapkan hati ni. Hmm...

Dewan TTAH, dalam kenangan..

Last night, met Ikram Ismail for discussion, bargain, and also negotiation. I brought along fiance, and parents as well. Planned to discuss only. All in sudden, ter-bargain pulak. In the end, ter-booked as well.

Oh puas hatiku for having him as my official photographer. The rate? Oh bestnye...5 events in 2 days for not more than RM 5k with Ikram as the principal photographer. 5 events comprise of: Majlis persalinan baju daerah + Khatam al-Quran + Nikah + very short berinai kecil (Day 1), and also Reception (Day 2).  If got spare time after the reception, he offered FOC outdoor photography. Is it worth? You judge it..

For those who interested to hire him on your day, better book him early for he's going to raise his current rate on 1st Jan 2010.

On the other hand, am currently facing problems and debating with the hall's supervisor. Angin je suka-suka hati kasi orang lain cut queue. No intention to blog about it now. Angin kus-kus mengembang kempiskan hidungku..hmmppss..hmppsss...

Congratulations Weda!

On 5th Dec, me & fiance (wah, this time ada partner!) attended the gorgeous wedding of Weda's at Dewan Taman Tasik Ampang Hilir.  Oh sangat cantikla ambience dia di siang hari. Yakin, cantik juga di malam hari..huuuuuu...........

Dress Hunting: Udaimatunnur

Just a quick update, for I'll do more hunting tomorrow :)

I went to Udaimatunnur and caught my eyes on a wedding gown. Fiance pun dah jatuh chenta juga. It's just that it's too pricey. One thing I love about Udaimatunnur is the tudung wear. Heart the gipsy style :)

Also, developed a strong chemistry with En. Ismail, the designer already. Thanks to fiance, I managed to control my sifat terburu-buru this time. We opted to do more survey tomorrow, and the day after, and after, and after. Wish me luck people!

Hantaran Hunting: Perfume & Fragrances

Hello lovelies! Mood i berbunga-bunga since fiance back in town. We went for macam-macam hunting as if we're getting married next month! Dowh...

One of the hunting mission was perfume & fragrances.  I always waited for Cristmas sale for this purpose. Yela, for me it's cheaper and come with fabulous sets, and also gorgeous packing walaupun akan dirabakkan oleh si pendekor hantaran.

As for hantaran purpose, my aim is truly on the bottle. Next, bila dah jumpa bottle yang berkenan di hati, then only I looked for the perfect smell that suits me on my W day. This is a tough challenge for me as my body aroma ni pelik sket. It's very hard to find a perfume that match my odour.  So we walked, searched, and survey sampai fiance pun naik fed up with me, but not too long until I rasuah him with food ;p

In terms of smell, I opted for fresh and elegant scent. Yela, niatnya nak sembur banyak banyak during the recption nanti.  Some tips from The Knot:

Fragrance Glossary

• Perfume (a.k.a. parfum): the most potent and usually the most expensive product in the fragrance family. Why it may be worth it to shell out the bucks: It has a higher concentration of oil, so a little goes a long way -- and you won't run out as quickly.

• Eau de Parfum: falls next in the potency arena. It's not quite a perfume, but it goes that extra mile.

• Eau de Toilette and Eau de Cologne: somewhat weaker and more watered down than perfume, both eau de toilette and eau de cologne are usually available in convenient spray bottles. Keep in mind, though, that while the bottles may be larger and priced similarly to smaller versions containing the same scent, the bigger bottles are less concentrated, so you're not necessarily getting more for your money.

• Body Splash: has the lowest concentration of scented oil and disappears into the skin, offering a lighter scent.

Finding the One

• If you're thinking about wearing a new scent on the big day, be sure to start experimenting at least a month before your wedding -- just in case your nose leads you to something that causes an allergic reaction.

• Be sure to sniff a scent on your skin before you buy -- you can't judge a fragrance by how it smells in the bottle or on a scent card.

• Test by spraying on the scent and letting it sit. Your body heat and oils will effect how it smells. Let the fragrance develop for a minute or two before putting it to a serious sniff test. Have your shopping buddy tell you what she thinks, too.

• Once you've gotten your pal's approval, go home and let your honey take a whiff -- you don't want to wear a scent that makes him sniffle or wince -- or worse, one that reminds him of an ex.

• Don't overwhelm your senses by sampling too many perfumes in one day. If you don't find "the one" the first day out, make another trip.

Wear It Well

• For "scent-ual" staying power, apply fragrance in layers (different products, same scent). Start with a body wash, then slather on the scented moisturizer, and end with the perfume.

• Put fragrance on your pulse points -- your wrists, behind your ears, in the bend of your elbows, on your ankles. These spots generate the most heat and will give off scent longer.

• In warmer weather, wear lighter scents. Heat intensifies fragrance, so stay away from heavy perfumes on hot, humid days.

• For a quick pick-me-up, keep fragrances in the refrigerator. Perfumes should not be exposed to extreme cold or heat, though -- adverse temperatures may change how a scent smells.

• And, finally: Don't overdo it. People should see you before they smell you.

Eventually, I bought Perfume + after shave + pouch for him at a price that I can't resist. Also, he bought for me 2 perfumes at a price that won't burn a hole in his pocket :)

Moral of the story: If you can't buy fragrances from France, Aussie, or Amsterdam then buy it locally during Xmas sale!
