~ ri-yaz heritage: 1st - 3rd day ~

hi all.. before i forget wat to write,

i better write about my honeymoon

here at ri-yaz heritage, pulau duyong,

kuala terengganu..

ri-yaz heritage is very2 beautiful..
they use a lot of wood for their
suites, spa, lobby, everything..
maybe sbb tu d rate agak mahal..

tp.. i dont quite like the staffs'
uniforms.. pakai t-shirts jer..
mcm tak kena dgn wat we're paying for.
but the best part is their buggy service..
wanna go anywhere, juz call and
then there'll be a buggy waiting
to drive u to where u wanna go to
within the hotel area.

we arrived very late, around 7pm..

so by the time we arrived n checked in,

we were starving.. so we ordered in from

room service.. we ordered chicken chop

n fish & chips.. sedapppppp...

bilik mmggggg cantikkkkkk... all
amenities n facilities ada.. tp kan..
the water bidet pulak bocor.. so
called d maintenance and they
immediately changed to a new one..

2nd day, we had breakfast at the Verandah,

ri-yaz's coffee house.. pun sedap gak.. hehe..

then we had lunch at bora-bora cafe at KT..

pun sedap gak.. alhamdulillah.. so far our

food sedap hihi.. we also went to pasar

payang on our 2nd day here.. bought a batik

sutera.. murah gak rasanya rm150 je kut..

and then ajoy brought me to tganu's airport..

cantik giler airport dia!!

and then dinner we had pasta nite at the
verandah.. sedap... i had spaghetti bolognase,
and ajoy had hawaian pizza.. pizza dia besar,
can eat for two ppl.. and cheap too.. rm13 jer..
my spaghetti was about rm18 kut.. tak igt..
we had mocktails for our beverage.. i had
watermelon lychee, and ajoy had ri-yaz
tea breeze whc is a combination of iced
tea, lemon & mint.. sedappp...

3rd day, we wanted to go to noor arfa's

craft centre tp da tutup da by d time we

got there.. so we went to pantai batu buruk

instead.. walked along the beach.. chewahhh..

cam romantic gitu.. and then we played kites..

best sgt coz angin kuat gilerrrr... :)

well, tats all for now.. biasa la 1st honeymoon,

not much to report kan.. hehe.. :)

~ incident @ masjid ~

on the same day as my nikah ceremony,

whc is 12 dec 09, there's a so-called

artiste who was also scheduled to nikah

on the same day too.. her name is aien..

who is the twin sister of ekin, mawi's wife..

one thing i would like to point out here is,

we had our mini kenduri after nikah at

kedai kopi 2 because we couldnt get to

use the dewan makan. masjid staff said

on weekends nobody can use the dewan

mkn because it is used for org kursus kawin..

we also couldnt set up any khemah on the

masjid premise..

however, upon arrival at masjid, i saw ppl

eating very2 near the dewan nikah, and

before i could process wat was going on,

my mum told me tat because aein tu is going

to nikah there, so they could use the dewan

and budak2 kursus kawin terpaksa mkn kat

tepi2.. huh? apahal lak ni.. giler double standard..

juz bcoz yg nk kawin tu adik ipar mawi terus

dpt guna dewan mkn??

but then i was like lantak la.. and went into the

dewan nikah.. as it is, our imam jurunikah byk

sgt appoinment nikah dia, so he really speed up

our nikah.. mmg laju giler la.. and then as i was

sitting on my nikah cushion, i saw a security guard

marching in and talked to one of my uncles. i

wondered wat was going on, and asked sha, my

pengapit wat time was it. sha said 1145am.. belum

kul 12 pun lagi da tak sabar2 nk halau kitaorg..

but kitaorg buat tak tau je dgn guard tu.. tak cukup

tu, pengarah jais pulak barged in to take over..

sabar je la..

u see, wat happened was their mistake.. we booked

the place from 1030am to 12noon.. and nikah should

be at 1130am. but they told my mum tat my nikah

should be from 1030 - 1130am. suka2 ati je nk

tentukan bila kitaorg nk kena nikah. pdhal we've

already booked our imam jurunikah at 1130am,

not 1030am. know y? we found out because aien

nk nikah at 1212 noon.. because of this, pihak

masjid n jais pushed our nikah forward without

informing us earlier. stakat bgtau on tat day, masa

kitaorg smpi jgn harap la kitaorg nk give in..

wat made us mad is tat pihak masjid n jais tak

respect majlis org, main terjah majlis org juz because

nk amik hati artis yg kawin dato duda. sbb mamat

tu dato? pls la.. kitaorg da byr booking lama da..

ajoy n i was the first to book d dewan nikah for the

month of december, let alone 12hb tu.. awal giler

kitaorg book.. so our family n i really couldnt care

less about sape yg nk nikah lepas kitaorg.. hak

kitaorg ttp hak kitaorg.

apa yg pihak masjid n pengarah jais tu buat sikit

pun tak mencerminkan ajaran Islam dalam

menghormati majlis n respect org lain. semata2 sbb

nk masuk paper, nk masuk tv, suka2 hati diaorg je

nak push other ppl around.. sabar je la..

~ our solemnization ~

blog ni i try tulis dlm b.melayu k.. baru feel.. hehe..

alhamdulillah, ajoy & i telah selamat dinikahkan

pd 12 disember 2009 di masjid sultan salahuddin

abdul aziz shah, shah alam dgn sekali lafaz sahaja..

walaupun majlis telah pun selesai, malangnya majlis

kami tidak berjalan seperti yg diharapkan, byk sgt

gangguan2 luar yg berada di luar kawalan kami. yg

tu nanti aku citer kat blog lain..

tp yg penting, kami telah pun sah menjadi suami isteri..

hehehehe.. mula2 masa kat masjid tu, belum rasa apa2

lagi.. masa mkn pun masih mcm tak percaya pun ada jugak..

apa pun aku mmg bangga dgn ajoy sbb kat masjid s.alam

ni takde bg script tuk pengantin baca.. aku mmg nk sgt

dgr dia lafaz sendiri, baru kita tau dia betul2 nk kawin

dgn kita kan.. sbb aku tau byk masjid skang siap bg

script tuk pengantin baca... bg aku tak aci ar.. mmg lah

boleh skali lafaz.. kecuali kalau org tu tak reti membaca la kan..

and the moment ajoy habis lafaz, time tu jugak aku pun

lepaskan nafas aku.. sbb masa ajoy nk start lafaz tu aku dah

tak boleh bernafas dah. hehehe.. ermm, pd sape2 yg laki dia

baca script tu, jgn terasa eh, blog ni takde kena mengena dgn

korang, takde masa aku nk kena2kan sape2.. sekian tima kasih.. :)

ok, perjalanan majlis eh.. lepas kami nikah di masjid,

tetamu (keluarga & teman rapat) di jemput turun ke

kedai kopi 2, taman tasik s.alam utk menjamu selera.

makanan alhamdulillah sedap..

lepas tu kitaorg g outdoor photoshoot kat muzium,

kat padang dpn muzium tu, and sekitar kwsn s.alam la..

setelah selesai tangkap2 gmbr, kitaorg balik ke rumah

mummy (mak aku la tu) sbb photographer nk amik gmbr

hantaran.. masa kat masjid tak sempat, sbb kan citer yg

aku akan citer nanti.. pastu aku pun kuarkan brg2 hntrn,

and kemas2 dulang2 semua tuk pulangkan pd tuan empunya...

settle semua ni baru la aku & suami aku (ecehhhhh hehehe)

gerak ke rumah mama & babah kitaorg (rumah mak dia la tu)..

kat sini ada la makan2 & sesi karaoke sikit.. kitaorg lepak sana

smpi la malam sbb kwn2 ajoy ramai dtg n lepak..

so dlm kul 1130pm kut, baru la kitaorg dpt gerak balik ke

rumah kitaorg.. nasib baik la semua2 rumah tu kat s.alam je..

~ zit zat zit ~

i have a zit! again!

arghhhhh... maybe all these

stress about our upcoming

big day plus our house

plus cleaning up my room

is really getting in my skin..

literally... :(

i really.. really.. REALLY

hope it will go down by

saturday.. kalau tak.. sighhh..

ok, on a much happier note,

since i havent blogged for 2 days,

ajoy came back from tganu last

monday and we had a movie

marathon! hehehe.. giler gak la..

because we havent had d chance

to for quite some time.. and tis

will be our last movies as singles!

so we watched new moon and

couples retreat.. back2back. like

we only had like 5 mins break..

giler kan.. but fun as h*ll.. :D

and then we bought a painting

for our room.. abstract.. as how

my mum puts it 'u've always loved

abstract paintings kan..' hehe..

yes i do, mummy.. :)

well, tu je la for now.. dont really

knw wat else to blog about..

til then, take care.. bak kata gossip

girls.. xoxo! hehe..

~ thirty ~

putting aside today because it is already
half of d day, i have 4 more days til
my wedding day..

i still cant believe m actually getting married..
but m glad that i finally found love, even at
the age of 30.. the age whre most of my
friends, acquaintance, peers, colleagues and
even my mother & aunties have had at least
one child..

but i've never looked at my life tat way.. i've
never felt self-pity of not being married at the
age of 29, and when i first entered 30.. maybe
because i have come to accept that i will never
be married becoz m juz too scared of marriage..

but when the big W knocks on my door, and
opening it i found ajoy standing outside it, i am
pleasantly suprised to find myself welcoming
the big W into my life..

30..31..32.. age really is juz a number. i know
many girls out there who are approaching tis age,
or are already in this category feels the pressure
from family members & friends..

imho, we should have faith there is someone out
there for us. maybe tat guys hasnt knocked on yr
door yet. sometimes it is because we still have a lot
to experience in our life so tat when he finally arrives,
we will appreciate his presence n let him in..

maybe he did knocked before but it wasnt the right time
for u to open it yet.. to me, dont rush yrself to pull him
into yr life. if he is really into u, he'll wait at the door until
you invite him in..

eh, nape jadi love guru punyer session pulak ni.. hihi..

then again, life's a gamble kan.. some of wat i say may
not at all be applicable to everyone.. some marriage
works out juz fine even tho they didnt even know each
other from the beginning.. some marriage pulak, couple
da bertahun2 last fall apart pulak.. so yeah, life's a gamble.
juz be sure of wat u want, and wat u wanna do.
and then deal with watever comes next la kan..

crossing my fingers now, i juz hope my future marriage
will be d one i hope it will be, juz like any other women
out there does.. *cross fingers*

til then, take care.. :)

~ baked fish with steamed broccoli ~

haha da jadi foodie blog la pulak..

tis is wat i had for lunch..

baked fish with steamed broccoli..

recipe:
blend - onions | ginger | garlic | cili padi | tomato | cili giling (tak igt portions la hihi)
cod fish fillet (perap with lemon + salt + pepper)
broccoli
salt | black pepper
a lil margarine
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
stir fry all the blended ingredients.. if u're watching yr weight, tak yah pki byk minyak la k.. bila da naik minyak, angkat the fried paste and put in a bekas.
in a baking dish, sapu a lil oil on it, andd place yr fish yang dah di perap..
and then spread yr stir fried paste on yr fish and squeeze some lemon juice on it.
close the baking dish with an aluminum foil, dont forget to make holes kat foil tu..
and then bake for about 10 mins.. baking mmg slow.. if nk cepat, can always pan fry the fish.. but then, byk la frying kan.. if u dont mind, ok jer.. :)

as for the broccoli, place the broccoli in a casserole, put a lil bit of water in it (for steaming), close the casserole and place in the microwave. depending on the portion of yr broccoli, it should take about 2-3 mins to cook thoroughly.. u can always put it back into the microwave if the broccoli tak masak lg.. when the broccoli is cooked, toss the broccoli with margarine ckit.. and then dash in salt and pepper and toss some more. if u want, u can always add in cauliflower and carrots, mengikut selera masing2.. :)

since the broccoli cooks very fast, usually wat i'll do is kemas kitchen, basuh semua benda yg kena basuh, and when the fish tinggal lg like 5 mins to cook, baru start on the broccoli..

when the fish is already cooked, serve it on a plate with yr broccoli.. tu jer.. simple.. bon apetit! :)

~ simple salad ~

as many of you may knw, my wedding

is juz around d corner.. and i still have

like an inch or so to lose.. so i havent

been eating rice for so many days..

except for today, mkn, but very2 sikit..

there goes my puasa nasi haha..

anyways, to make up for eating rice for

lunch today, i ate salad tonite.. thing is kan,

usually ppl eat salad with dressings like

thousand island, tartar sauce, mayo, ada

lagi satu yg olive oil mixed with herbs tu..

so most of salad dressings are fattening!!

but d idea to eat salad is not to gain weight!

hehe.. ter-emo jap.. so i watched AFC

(asian food channel - 703 on astro) and i

got tis incredible tips.. cant remember show

apa, and chef mana, but he suggested to

use lime/lemon juice to substitute the

usual salad dressing..

so today, i tried mixing salad, carrots,

apple slices (mum's idea), sprinkle lime

juice and sprinkle black pepper.. mixed

it up and wallah.. a very2 nice n fresh salad..

the lime really brings up the taste of the

vege.. sedap.. try la.. :)

~ seminggu sblm majlis ~

one more week left! so wat to do?
of course tis refers to pesona pengantin
magazine issue oct 09.. in their own
words yg di shortform by me.. hehe..

2) cuba make up pengantin - done!

3) ttpkan susun atur tempat duduk - lama da done.. :)
(jika majlis dibuat di hotel/dewan)

4) mula siapkan pelamin & bilik tidur - done!

5) sudah kemas brg utk bulan madu - err not yet.. hehe..

6) tetapkan pengapit - lama sgt da done!
