i called them yesterday to have our names

engraved on our rings..

~ 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..
