~ 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..

~ 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!!! :)
