Meet Hutch

Meet Hutch.  The newest member of my family.  Versi melayu: kenalkan, ini Haj.  Ahli keluarga saya yang terbaru.  Haj sempena bulan Zulhijjah. Adopted from SPCA on 3rd Zulhijjah. This baby is 3 months old, from short hair, mixed from local + imported breed.

Oh on the first day bukan main lagi dia ni shy shy. Bukan main lembut lagi.  We had problem on his food. Taktau kenapa budak ni tak nak makan food dia, even though we got it from SPCA itself. Ok, try campurkan dengan sedikit air on his snacks tu dengan harapan lembut sket kot, easy for him to chew. But it failed again.

Then on the second day, dia dah start nak gigit semua yang ada depan mata. So we opted for canned food. Wahwahwah..komain lagi melahap nye. Yela, 2 hari tak makan beb...Cannot go..nak canned food memanjang! Fine....Materialistic sungguh! Then he became hyperactive pulak on the 2nd day. Hilang kemaluannya. Awwwwww....

Erk...it's my first time in life having a cat as a pet. Wish me luck people!

Note 1: Ok, penjelasan di sini. I am continuing my study.  Will start on 28th Dec '09
Note 2: Yaaayyyy!!! Fiance is now back for good. I am single no more, and akan di pampered kan selalu.
Note 3: Erkk..ni tade kena mengena, but my wedding date is set to be on 6th June 2010. Yeeeeehaa!!!

Backdated Updates

Ngeeee....Sorry, lovelies. I've been really busy this week. Adoi patah pinggang mak..hukhukhuk..

Ok, so last week I took my parents for wedding favor hunting. It wasn't easy for us to find the perfect gift that seems perfect to our eyes. Yela, parents wanted some thing that can last, while me on the other hand wanted things that edible. On top of that, Abah prefers something yang old school, while Mak prefers something modern in concept, or English to be precise.  Pricey and bidget need to be taken into consideration also. Kalau seketul tu RM 10.00, if 3,000 guests then it would be RM 30,000 in total! Oh berpinar-pinar mata mak ko...

So after done searching at KL and Ampang, we went to Nilai 3. Walaupun dah yakin takkan jumpa yang best kat sana, tapi kami cekalkan hati juga.  Eventually, jumpa la satu kedai ni yang tade sign board. Reka Decor namanya, everything in English concept. I pun jatuh cinta giler..Mum as well. And finally, to my astonishment Abah finally approved and fell in love as well! Oh tau tak betapa susah nya for us to finally agree on something? Phewww.....Of course, masa tu dah petang and after spending 6 hours, muka my brother and sis pun dah macam ikan masin..
Tadaaa!!!!!!!!
What's inside the box?

Rahsia la...To be revealed on June 6th, 2010 :)

Afters, we walked around and bought other things as well. Things like corsages for family members, corsages for committees, also the stand for bunga pahar.

Perjalanan yang menyakitkan pinggang, tapi berbaloi la..Sape kata Nilai 3 tak best? Ok pe kalau rajin berjalan dan survey. Well at least lebih tenang sket than Chow Kit or Masjid India. But I've done my survey, for ribbons and beads, kat Syarikat Bunga dan Reben tu design nye lagi cantik cantik I tell uols..

Finally, for your view: Suasana di hari raya..eh?? Suasana kanak-kanak yang kebosanan turut disertakan bersama :)

Current Progress: Bunga Pahar


Melecet tangan ahkak pintal bunga sendiri you...
Bahan-bahannya boleh didapati dari Syarikat Bunga dan Reben,
located at Jln Tuanku Abdul Rahman
Rasanya tempat tu memang dah famous among bloggers

I've checked, and they are selling RM 48.90 per piece for this kind of bunga pahar. DIY, total cost is RM 3.00 per piece sahaja including the egg!

Hasilnya: Tunggula 6 months ahead. Tak surprise la kan kalau tunjuk sekarang. 6 months from now, siap tutorial lagi I bagi uols. Jangan marah :D

90 gentelan(s) of bunga pahar to go..Oh sakit jari jemariku! Must make sure this bunga pahar siap 2 months before the big day. Otherwise, akan jelas kelihatan berlubang lubang jari jemariku karena tercucuk dawai..hukhukhuk..

Mood swing~*

Hush..hush....

Booked lots of vendors last week.  Previously I was busy with my wedding preps, all because we had to shift the date. Now that I am finally at relief. Pheeewwww!  Wedding yang lambat lagi, but kecoh je lebih-lebih.

On the other hand, I'm helding my tears. Part of me dah gatal nak kahwin. But the other part rasa cam nak stop the time. All of sudden, rasa cam singkat sangat hidup membujang with family around. After all the kecoh-ness that we have during the preps, I'll surely miss them like crazy once the big day is settled. Hukhukhuk..Gonna miss the warmth of love around me. Am currently having a conflict.  Conflict dalam diri, with split personality.

Eventually, I rasa 'moving to a new house with hubby' tu cuma valid on paper je kot.  Everyday pun nak balik 'kampung'. Bukan jauh nau. 0.5 hours apart je. Haisshh...

Vendor berlagak! Hmmppsss..hmppssss...

Kak, saya faham akak busy and maybe nak kena set up pelamin petang nanti. Tapi saya ni customer kak. Ke akak ingat saya ni supplier? Saya masuk bagi salam, kak. Akak tak jawab pun? Takpe, akak busy kot.

Saya nak tanya pasal pelamin, kak. Saya faham akak busy sangat sampai terpaksa buat dono je. Takpe, saya berkomunikasi la dengan sales girl akak. Kot ye pun, hantarla orang yang knowledgeable about your product kak. Saya tanya harga pelamin, kesian dia kena gi belakang tanya kat akak yang jarak antara saya dan akak dalam 4-5 tapak je. Saya tanya pakej, kesian dia kena gi tanya akak lagi. Saya tanya kalau fresh flowers berapa, kesian dia kena jalan untuk tanya akak. Apa yang saya tanya, semua dia kena jalan and tanya akak.  Saya kesian kat dia. Saya tau akak dengar kami bercakap sebab akak bukan duk dalam bilik ke, stor ke. Akak menggubah bunga kat belakang kami je. Saya terpaksa fahamkan diri saya yang akak super duper busy sampai terpaksa buat dono kat saya. Agaknya sebab saya datang sorang kot. Eh tapi saya datang ngan duit berkepuk-kepuk nak booking terus la!

Tapi atas dasar understanding yang akak sibuk, saya angkat kaki and blah je sambil cakap kuat-kuat yang akak sombong and tak beradap. Sorry ye kak, saya salah ke? Tapi customer always right kan? Itu kan policy alam semesta.

Oh saya dah berjaya yakinkan fiance saya untuk sama-sama cintai DCF milik akak, tapi sekarang cinta kami terpaksa beralih arah. Selamat tinggal DCF, selamat tinggal kak. I found a better place. Sayonara!

Men Proposed, God Disposed..

Oh lambat lagi I yang dah gatal ni nak kahwin. Terima kasih Malaysia! For changing the normal school holidays season next year. I'm sure they have reasonable reason for doing so, right?

Previously I thought mid term school holidays for next year will be on 29th May.  And I was so confidently booked the makeup artist, also the hall as well. I wanted that date because it is simultaneously with my parent's anny.  Now that we had to move the date a week further.

Semakin lambat la pulak kami kahwin :(

Red itu menawan..kan?

Salam, lovelies. Browse through the net, and set my eyes on red. So classsic and elegant! Color yang everlast. Rasa cam 20 years later, when I flipped back my wedding album pun rasa cam tak pelik this color, kan?

Previosly I wanted tiffany blue + ivory for my nikah, and ivory + champagne + lilac for reception. But then it came across my mind, eh semua pun color yang soft and mostly pastel la..

So I came up with this combo:


Red + ivory + slate gray or silver for nikah, since I plan to wear songket attire during nikah nanti. Hmm..ni nak masuk traditional theme la ni. Plus nak masukkan element kayu kayan juga to bring up the traditional concept.  Just hope that my photographer tau la nak cantikkan this combo dalam pics camne.

My masalah with wedding theme memang tak berkesudahan. Haisssshhh....

::Click::Click::

Hello lovelies!

Yes, I've been in silence quite a while. Tapi senyap tak bermakna no progress at all! I must apologize for my busy-ness due to wedding season ni. Alhamdulillah, thanks to all the lovely brides who hired me, my every weekend is packed until end of the year :)

Ok, for my wedding, I decided to burst my pocket on 1) makeup; 2) photography; Full stop. Can't elaborate more, nanti berhutang sama ahLong ;p

Item #1: settled! Yang pening sekarang ni, Item #2.  As quoted from a good friend of mine, "food will be eaten, the pelamin will be took away the next day. The dress too if it is rented, if it is not  then wait till hari raya to wear it again OR never wore it again..keep it for next generation maybe.  But photographs remain forever." 

Maka keinsafan melanda diri. So who to click? Since my event(s) tu melambak sangat, sampai aduh sakit kepala ku nak cut the budget for photos, tapi rasa tak sampai hati to cut :(

Few in mind: Syahrin Aziz (oh untungnya Anil); Rashdi Amin (sangat mencintai!); Ikram Ismail (chenta juga..); Fatinizulnaidi (adore & affordable!); People from Candid Syndrom, Click Couture, Click Syndicate, Preety Peektures, oh and banyak lagi la yang I chenta giler. Rasa cam dah mintak quotation from semua yang dinyatakan di atas sampai I jadi pening and confuse which one with which rate.

Oh I dah tua....

Bila kamu nak balik wahai fiance? Kamu jela yang buat semua ni. I nak ke spa. Oh tapi kena tunggu fiance balik to sponsor juga. Haisshhhh...

Anyone had experience with any of them? Care to share..? Tqvvm in advance!
