~ rocks on platinums.. ~

we collected our wedding rings today!!!

wuhooo!! soooo happy... hehehehehe..

i called them yesterday to have our names

engraved on our rings..

~ on my ring : aina & ajoy

~ on his ring : ajoy & aina

so today at 3pm, we went and collect our

rings from diamond & platinum one utama..

ajoy was so excited, he didnt even wanna

take off his ring when he tried it on.. hehehe..

sabar k syg, 2 weeks more and u'll wear it

forever.. hihi..

mine & ajoy's.. ajoy's ring is quite berat coz it's full

platinum.. if m not mistaken about 9.9g.. hehe..

tis is mine (of course hehehe),

classic solitaire cut with 8 lil diamonds on

each side and two tiny diamonds on the

solitaire holder (the claw eh panggil dia?)..

d solitaire is held with 6 claws..

 

my diamond is from estrella d&p, hence got

certificate.. so next time leh trade in and

buy a bigger stone or even use the same

stone and convert it into necklace or something..

ermm size of the ring, colour n clarity tak yah

share la eh.. dangerous to reveal everything kan.. :)

so to wrap tis entry ~ m loving my ring! :D

~ paperbag project ~

today is raya haji.. every year, we will go to our

aunty's hse, mak non for raya haji.. and since my

wedding is very near, we decided to do our

paperbag project here..

my paperbags are striped.. and i think by now we

all knw how much i love polka dots kan.. so, i'd

like to put the ribbons i blogged about earlier on

my paperbags..

alhamdulillah because ramai2 buat, so cepat jugak

la habis.. all 150 bags.. susah jugak la nk buat.. well

actually bukan susah, but tedious jugak la..

first we have to cut the ribbons into d desired length

of course.. we had two colours, so one ribbon is

longer than d other.. and then we have to know how

to tie it with wires.. after that, put the shorter ribbon

on top of the longer ribbon and twist the wires together

so tat they become one.. then glue them onto the

paperbags.. and cut the excess wire.. tu jer.. sounds

simple tp takde la simple sgt.. thank god we have

mak bah to show us how to do them.. and all the

tools (glue gun, wire, etc) are from mak bah n mak non..

thank you everyone who helped!! :)

these are some of the pics i took using my phone.. tak

clear, i know.. hehe.. :P

my cousin nor (in blue kurung) is our head of

wedding favors.. dia yg email2 me about the

paperbags.. gmbr mak bah takde la pulak, sorry

mak bah.. hehe.. mak bah has kedai brg2 hantaran..

so i bought the paperbags from mak bah..

 

sitting on far left is my mak non.. tudung pink is my mum..

i sat next to my mum.. amik gmbr pun cepat2 coz

nk siapkan keje cepat2.. semua candid je..

 

tis pic was actually to capture ayang, my lil cousin kat

hujungggg tu.. she really wanted to help.. hehe.. so

cute.. so her job was to separate out the bags and

put the ribbons on top of each bags so tat it'll be

easy for mak cah to glue the ribbons to the bags.. tp

dia asyik gerak2 so last2 ni je gmbr yg dpt capture.. :)

~ ribbons ~

ribbons are used so widely in sooo many things..

presents.. hair accessories.. apparel accessories..

and also hantarans..

i juz love ribbons.. and nowadays there are tons

of types and designs of ribbons..

if you noticed, most hantarans would incorporate

ribbons in them.. esp to tie up shirts or sejadah or

telekung or stuff like tat.. so as for mine, since my

hantaran cake will be polka dots, i asked my

hantaran decorator if we could use polka dots

ribbons for my hantarans.. hehehe.. yeah, m a

polkie maniac.. :P

so she said of course.. and i volunteered to purchase

the ribbons myself because i wanna feel puas hati

when i see my hantaran.. at least kalau tak cantik, the

ribbons was my choice, my fault kan.. hehe..

and as for the wedding favors, my paperbags are

pink stripes.. the paperbags are supplied by my

aunty.. i wanted to incorporate polkies in them too..

so i bought ten rolls of ribbons juz for the favors..

bought them at kk homes, sacc, shah alam.. very
cheap.. rm3.90/roll for the 1cm width ones.. i

nearly fainted when i saw tat ALL their ribbons

are polkadots!!!! all in assorted colours.. oh myyyy..

hehehehehe.. and i quickly took the pink ones, coz

da tak byk da tinggal..

my aunty and cousin went to ssf, kk home nilai & ampang

tp da abis.. tats y i juz grabbed cepat2.. takut abis lg..

cant wait to see how my hantaran n favors will turn out!

hehehehe.. not so long now.. :)

~ and continues.. (homedec) ~

today we went to home decor haven ~ ikea!

but unfortunately, we didnt have that much time

because ajoy suddenly had to go for an urgent

meeting.. sighhh..

however within that short period of time, we

managed to scout around for things to buy in

the future (budget tgh simpan for more important

things aka nikah in case ada benda2 kecik yg

we overlooked), and also bought some things

too..

didnt buy much though.. only bought laundry bag,

drawer organizers, tmpt gantung my selendangs

(yg rings byk2 tu), wastepaper basket, coffee

table, and drinking glasses..

i juz love love love going to ikea.. even though

ntah da berapa kali ntah pergi ikea.. there are

always new offers or new things tat i have never

seen or may hv overlooked before.. actually, i

dont need any reason for loving to go there

so so so many times. juz love it.. :)

~ homedec day continues ~

after the guys from the furniture store left..

ajoy n i went busy cleaning up our room

and then pasang the bedsheet tat we

bought a few weeks back.. then we realised

alamak takde bantal la.. hihi..

so off we went to s.alam mall to buy some

pillows.. ajoy wanted to go to macy's.. he

insisted macy's still ada at s.alam mall while

i debated and said takde da, takde da..

and i was right.. hehe.. but to our delight,

as we were decending to go to home's

harmony (something like aussino, living quarters,

macy's, etc) we saw tat home's harmony

was having promotions juz outside their store..

and wat we saw was -50%.. wahhhhhhh..

apa lagi, we went straight there and bought

ourselves quite a few items! hehe.. we bought

4 pillows, 1 bolster, 2 bathroom mats, pillow

cases and 1 quilt set for our bedroom at my

mum's house.. and we only spent a lil over rm300..

murah la tu.. usually 1 quilt set je dah more than

rm300, or around tat range kan..

wat a day.. we accomplished sooo much for

our house.. :)

~ saturday is homedec day! ~

today is a very productive day for both us..

i cleaned up my room and recycled a lot

of stuff.. then we met our photographer and

discuss about the event flow of our nikah..

and then we went to senQ to pick up our

kitchen stove that my mum bought for our

house warming present.. so since we were

there, we checked out other stuff and ended

up purchasing water heater and a fridge! :)

and then when we were waiting for senQ to

do our billing (whc took them ages to do btw),

our furniture store called and told us they wanna

deliver our bedroom set! wowwww.. bestnya!

so the moment we were done with senQ, we

immediately went to our new home to wait

for our new furniture..

remember when i said we bought a cheap set?

hehehe.. mmg cheap la.. nmpk pun cheap..

hahaha.. tp takpe la, like i said before, to get

started is good enough.. baby steps kan.. :)

but m really happy with our bed though.. thing

is we picked the set out of a catalogue from tat

store.. they didnt have the model with them at

that mo because it is a new set.. so tats y m

really happy the bed turns out juz like the

catalogue.. yg lain tu cant complain la kan..

u pay tat price, u get tat kinda furniture la hehe..

ajoy n i are planning to get a new landed house

within 2-3 years.. tats y i kept telling him it is

okay to buy cheap furniture for this house since

we're not gonna be here for long anyways..

will post up pics when everything is in place..

till then.. take care.. :)

~ letting go ~

i had a longggg talk with one of my close friends..

he has a girl problem.. m not here to talk bout

his problem of course.. but something he told me

made me blog tis..

he told me wat his gf told him 'if we're not meant

to be together, if somehow u marry someone else

or i ended up marrying someone else, i want u to

know tat i never want u out of my life. i cant live

without having u in my life. i will always contact u.'

now, tis may be very touching if we're in his shoes..

whc of course he is.. but, let's stop and think and

put ourselves in the girl he ended up marrying's shoes..

would we like it if our husband's exes keep on

calling him? esp when we know wat kinda history

they had? esp when we know they had been together

for an ample amount of time? would we like tat?

to girls like these, pls.. let go.. let go of your past..

and cherish yr present n future.. dont let yr past ruin

wat is in front of u.. yg da lepas tu biarla lepas kan.. :)

~ our future home ~

in the midst of preparing for my big day..

i'm also busy filling up our new home..

ajoy bought a small apartment even b4

we got together.. and he got the cf for his

house pun like a few months before we

became serious..

so, the house is totally empty.. and we're

excited to renovate and furnish our cute

lil house..

as for now, we only have sofa, carpet,

and dining table.. yups, loadssss to be done!

we need to renovate our kitchen.. and to tile

our balcony.. tis is a medium cost house, so

of course semuanyer nak kena buat la..

we also have to do the wiring for the lighting

because wat we have now is totally insufficient..

we're now waiting for our curtain blinds and

bedroom set.. beli bedroom set murah jer.. hehe..

seriously murah giler.. less than rm2k and we

get 1 bed with free mattress, 6-door cupboard

and a dressing table. for now baru nk start ni

kira ok la tu kan..

i also spotted a very nice tv cabinet from perabot

bahagia whc is quite cheap, only rm499 after

discount.. and also a book shelf whc i will turn it

into some sort of a divider between dining n living..

yg tu tak igt berapa.. rm299 kut..

i am blessed in the sense that ajoy and i have

the same taste.. what i like he likes, vice versa..

so it was quite a breeze to shop anything for the

house tat we'll be sharing with him..

only, ajoy really2 go for quality material and i pulak

jenis tak kisah sgt.. coz kalau nk quality hv to pay

with a quantity ~ of cash! haha.. nanti when we have

more rezeki i certainly dont have a problem to buy

better quality furniture.. of i pun suka yg have the

best quality.. but to me, for now nie kena tutup

sebelah mata jap la.. hihi.. and m lucky tat he can

compromise.. kalau it's up to him jgn harap la dpt

beli tat cheap bedroom set agaknyer.. hikhikhik..

~ shoesssssss! ~

another wedding stuff da siap.. yeay!!!

juz picked up my wedding shoes from

saidatulnisa boutique today..

i used the same shantung shocking pink

for my shoes.. plain.. no lace applicae..

only rm180 per pair.. and of course,

i love it.. :)

~ small biz ~

i have always liked online shopping since 2005 kut..

hv been purchasing from these sites too.. i cant

remember sape yg recommended my first online

shopping site.. but i know wat i bought la.. a butterfly

kimono top.. purple in colour kut..

since then, i've been shopping for clothes online..

to me it is sooo easy.. no need to walk from store

to store.. i mean, it is fun.. but those days, i didnt

really have the time to go shopping.. so i chose

online shopping instead.. plus, most of the baju are

quite cheap.. but of course, takde brand gempak2 la..

i like branded stuff.. but i also dont mind buying yg

takde brand gak.. as long as cantik apa salahnyer kan..

so because i LOVE shopping online soooo much..

i've been wanting to have my own online store.. only

i didnt know where to get the supplies.. well, i have

found it.. or rather, my friend jina brought me to tat

haven.. shopping haven!!

so, we're gonna start our itsy bitsy teenie weenie

internet biz sooooonnnnnn.. so tungguuuuuu.. ;)

~ trial make up ~

as mentioned in my prev entry,

today i ada trial make up.. tis

was suggested by my sis and

also of course pesona pengantin..

i love my make up! tak sbr nk make up for

real whc will only be in 24 days.. :)

~ of notes and melody ~

m now compiling songs to play

during my mini reception..

thing is kan, most of the songs

has nice loving title but when we

really listen to them, they're actually

sad songs..

n i realised tat songs i've been singing

to are mostly sad songs! hahaha!

for my nikah i am only compiling

malay songs.. so my malay songs

collection is soooo little tat i had to

ask from my friends.. and on top of

tat, like i said, the songs i have semua

sedey2.. apa la.. hahaha..

nape malay songs je eh.. because my

nikah concept is very traditional (except

for my nikah attire).. and because my

reception next year will be more english,

i guess having a malay theme for nikah

will balance things out somehow or rather..

hehehe..

~ 26 days before nikah ~

~ upcoming nikah updates ~

hye all.. :)

i havent logged in for quite awhile..

so wat hv been going on eh..

but actually takde la lama sgt since

my last post right.. only a few days

off kut..

last monday (9th Nov) ajoy n i went to

look for our bedroom set.. we actually saw

tis advertisement in pesona pengantin..

good bargain coz they gave mattress for

free! hehehe..

we actually wanted to have a look at

one of the sets shown in the magazine..

but we bought a new one tat they have, whc

wasnt featured in the mag.. price was

very2 cheap! hehehe.. mmg la cheap,

bukan solid wood pun.. but to me, xpe

la, for a start kan.. nanti bila ada rezeki

lebih lagi we can change to a better one..

insyaAllah.. :)

after the bedroom quest, we went to my

tailor pulak for first time fitting.. gosh, i

absolutely fell in love with my baju!!!!

love love love the colour i chose.. no

regrets at all.. i was grinning from ear to

ear.. the baju needed some very minor

alterations.. but overall mmg cantik giler

cutting tailor nie..

tis is the first time m trying tis tailor.. my

family's tailor is not well, tat was y we

had to search for a new tailor.. wat we

look for is not only the price should be

extremely affordable, but her cutting and

workmanship has to suit our body cut

as well.. and i tell u, it is really2 hard for

us to find a good tailor tat suits us..

and now we have found her.. yeay!!

so on wednesday i went to collect my

baju..

thn i went to jalan tar with my mum n sis

last thursday (12th Nov) to look for

their material for my reception next year..

some might think eh awalnyer cari kain..

but because we need to send

it to tailor so kena la cari awal.. unless we

buy ready made of course la we can juz

buy like a month before the event..

after jalan tar, my mum n i went to pkns

to send my baju for beading to kak hanim..

she said my baju n veil can be ready by 30th..

cant wait to see it!!

from 13th - 15th nov ada pameran pengantin

at pwtc.. so yesterday (13th nov) my mum,

ajoy n i went to the pameran.. ok la.. bigger

than the one my mum n i went at alam sentral

(obviously! :P).. but participants mostly are

caterers, photographers and kad kawin.. not

much venue or wedding planners..

then we went to senQ to check out mummy's

house warming gift for our new house.. mum

bought us a stove from faber.. tq mummy!!

and today.. we had tonnes of stuff to do..

we went to see my hantaran decorator, nurul..

you can find her at nurul.. cam biasa la kan i nie,

cant wait to see how it turns out! hehehe.. :)

and then we went to pavilion to look for ajoy's

shoes.. dia ni cerewet sikit.. ada certain spec for

his shoes.. but alhamdulillah, we finally found d

one he likes.. and because skang kan tgh sale,

tu yg lg best shopping tu! and i bought him a tshirt

from polo for his birthday..

and then we went to collect my lappie for hantaran..

n m using it now sbb kena habiskan battery dia dulu..

i love my new lappie!!! :)

ok sekian saje tuk kali ni.. pjg giler tis entry! haha!

~ wat else.. wat else.. ~

i am now thinking of wat else yg belum prepare eh..

sometimes it is d small2 stuff tat we usually

overlook kan.. and usually it is these small stuffs

tat will make us run around like crazy! heheh..

so i am now thinking of tat.. apa lagi yg lum prepare..

buy brg2 hantaran done.. make-up booked and trial

will be done next week.. photog booked.. videog booked..

food booked n tasted.. baju sent and will be ready 2mrw..

shoes will be ready by next week.. veil pun kut.. henna

booked and confirmed.. family meeting done..

i guess yg tinggal is to select hantaran decor for my

hantaran, whc will be done tis weekend.. and beading

for my baju pun will be sent around tis week, immediately

when i collect it from my tailor..

wat else eh??

~ my baju ~

went for fitting yesterday..

n m so happy with my baju..

with the colour that i chose..

cant wait to see how it looks

like with all the beading nanti..

there's still some alterations

to be done.. biasa la tu kan..

will be ready by thursday..

cant wait!!

~ baju pengapit ~

i've been a bridesmaid 3 times in my lifetime..

up til now la.. i never thought picking an

attire to be a bridesmaid is hard..

to me, all we need to know the theme colour

and wat colour the bride wants us to wear n

pick the right baju for it la kan..

but d question here is, wat is the right baju??

to me, it is a simple answer. a simple baju.

nice but simple. we can wear a baju with good

and expensive material, but wear it simple.

for example, not too much beading or sequins..

not too glittery so as to tenggelamkan our friend..

and the colour should be one tone lighter than

our friend's..

it has never really been an issue to me before

maybe because i know where my place is. i

know my friend wants me to still look nice but

not overshadow her. and not to ever2 look

frumpy n ugly as tat will affect her as well..

sadly, some ppl just doesnt have a clue to tis..

well, here's something i picked up when reading

about baju pengapit:

"Bagaimanapun, saya ingin mengingatkan supaya saudari

berpakaian sederhana dan tidak terlalu menonjol berbanding

pengantin dikhuatiri ia akan mengecilkan hati pengantin jika

pengapit yang lebih menjadi perhatian." Berita Harian

~ promod ~

hv some makan2 right.. and usually it is juz

outside d dewan nikah or house kan.. but

since m doing my nikah at masjid s.alam,

they do not allow us to put up tents in the

masjid area.. plus we're not allowed to use

the dewan mkn on saturdays n sundays..

kelab shah alam, concorde hotel, blue wave

hotel.. tp of coz, mahal nak giler! i juz want a

place for a very small do after nikah je.. if i

hv to spend tat much baik buat reception terus..

then ajoy suggested kedai kopi 2.. i was not

too thrilled then because i wasnt sure if it

can fit our guests.. but after much persuasion

from ajoy to check out the place, he was

right! spacious.. new.. nice view.. only thing is..

will the food be as good?

but nevertheless, there wasnt really any other

place we could hv our mini reception so we

both agreed with kedai kopi 2.. tat is of course

after my mum hv seen it and gave a nod of

approval.. then we booked the place..

so about the food.. we had our food tasting

last wednesday (041109).. i was extremely

nervous, twisted tummy to the extend but

was relieved at my first bite.. sedapppp!!

alhamdulillah.. made d right choice.. tq syg

~ gastronomical experience @ tamarind springs ~

last nite ajoy brought me to tamarind springs, ampang..

ever since we became very2 serious he had wanted to

bring me here.. but there were always something going

on tat brought the plan to a halt until last nite.. on my

birthday d whole place was closed for a private ceremony..

on other occasions either ajoy was too bz, or i was.. or

tamarind springs was closed too..

so i was soooo happy tat we finally got to go! and tis time

it is also to celebrate ajoy's achievement in his biz..

by the time we got to tamarind, we were famished.. so

naturally we obeyed our hunger pangs during the

process of selecting wat to eat n ordering n ended up

with too much food! tsk tsk tsk.. da membazir.. hahahaha!!

we ordered 1 bowl of soup each for both of us and 4 dishes..

hehehehe.. and i think i only ate like 3 spoons of rice.. the

rest was more of ratah lauk for me.. i gave my rice to ajoy..

he also didnt ask for seconds.. hehehe.. kenyang giler..

alhamdulillah..

wat did we have and wat was d verdict?

i juz love love love cakes n cuppies!!!

one of my hantaran items to ajoy will be a cake..

at first i thought of giving him cuppies.. i only

wanted my sis's friend's cuppies.. u can find her

at misscuppylicious.. she's at penang.. jauh, but

dont wory bout tat, she comes down to kl quite often..

however, i couldnt order my cuppies from her coz

she'll be very bz with her sis' wedding.. so nak tak

nak, i had to find other bakers la.. so i was browsing

thru watever sites tat came out from google.. designs

are very nice.. most of them did quite well with d

designs.. but my concern is also whether they tastes

good or not.. tat was y i wanted to go with

misscuppylicious becoz my sis said her cuppies sedap

gilerrr.. n lembut gilerr.. hehehe..

then my sister suggested to go to ribbonsandcakes..

she said her husband n friend said her cake pun sedapppp..

so thats tat.. verdict from my sister is all i need.. browsed

thru her blog n i fell in love with her cakes! some are so

sweet.. and wat made me fell in love with her was her

cute n whimsical n not ordinary designs cakes! hehehe..

i immediately emailed her n told her d designs i want

for my cake n i really hope it would turn out just as i

imagine..

if u have more budget, u can also check out choffles..

i reckon they'd be more expensive as they hv been in d

market since 2001, and they have advertisements in

most wedding n female mags..

here are some photos of cakes to feast yr eyes on..
