Review Engagement : Hantaran from both sides.

Salam all,

Hari ni nak sambung buat review engagement on hantaran.
My side and his side, semua Rukhsana Ridwan team yang buat.
Lets start with hantaran from my side.

I told the team, I nak pastel color hantaran with fresh flowers. and I memang state awal-awal I suka bunga sundal malam and nak letak kat sirih junjung. Bunga ni sangat wangi pada waktu malam ye.
So theme color for my hantaran are pink, white and purple


Sirih Junjung


Samping songket
See that glass tray? I memang dah lama aim nak letak hantaran atas dulang kaca tu. Then, I terjumpa dulang kaca tu kat blog page Hikayat Cinta . So I sewa each for RM25. Sebenarnya nak simpan for akad nikah tapi glass tray ni agak fragile, so I decided to use it during my engagement. Less guests less risk hehe.



Ni pula hantaran cincin tapi cincin nya dah berada di jari tuan punya. hehe



Kain baju melayu for akad nikah

Last Hantaran is chocolate. 5 berbalas 5 ikut adat orang kelantan.

Then from his side pula, H memang serah bulat-bulat kat I. Dia bagi dulang je and biar I decide tema apa.
So theme for his side are yellow and purple.


Chocolate and sirih junjung.

Cincin from H and his mum, makna nya i dapat 2 cincin heheh yay!

 

 Kain akad nikah yang beli di Bandung June lepas.

Ni pula kain batik crepe yang i beli kat pasar siti khadijah, sebenarnya dah taknak warna purple sebab banyak dah baju color purple tapi my mum insisted that we need to follow color theme. layan je leww.
Now tengah mencari idea for hantaran masa nikah pula. Bride to be, or used to be bride, feel free to share ideas ye  :)

Siapa yang berminat untuk mendapat kan khidmat mereka, boleh lah terjah ke blog Rukhsana Ridwan & Hikayat Cinta :)

Review Engagement : Mini Pelamin

Salam all,

Today nak buat review pelamin by Rukhsana Ridwan

Susah betul nak cari company yang boleh buat pelamin masa cuti-cuti perayaan. I was having hard time juga. nak cari photographers, nak cari catering sebab bila musim raya, tau saja lah. Ramai ambil kesempatan buat majlis. banyak dah fully booked and ada juga nak beraya, Tak mau ambil job masa cuti.

Bila i decide nak hire Rukhsana Ridwan to do my pelamin is because the owner sangat senang nak discuss. Bukan jenis yang kerek, she is very creative and boleh work dengan our budget.
Our conversations banyak through email. I just cakap I nak color purple, pastel color and nak pelamin simple sangat. Turn out? Yes, sangat puas hati. I seriously takde dalam mind, my mini pelamin akan jadi macam ni. I memang state awal-awal I nak fresh flowers and i bagi a few photos as reference.

 Another problem is, majlis i kat Kelantan. I kena cari vendor yang boleh provide bunga. sebab Rukhsana team based kat Bangi so dorang akan bawak barang je datang sini and bunga ambil kat kelantan. Tak banyak florist yang buka masa raya. kalau buka pon, harga bunga diorang sangat-sangat mahal and I try cari kedai kat cameron highlands yang boleh pos bunga ke Kelantan. tapi sebab musim raya, dorang tutup kedai seminggu.
So I inform team Rukhsana maybe kena pakai artificial flowers je kot.. sedih :(
One week later, owner Rukhsana team called and said, takpe dorang akan bawak bunga tu from kl, tapi dorang gerak malam from kl sebab nak bagi bunga stay fresh and sampai kelantan awal pagi, same day with my majlis. Majlis i start malam. I cam risau jugak. Risky kan? Camne kalau takde bunga?
Tapi I doa je laa banyak-banyak. Rukhsana Team arrived at kelantan dalam pukul 4 pagi and pukul 10 pagi diorang dah start working on my pelamin and hantaran =)

I takde kat rumah the whole day sebab settle kerja di luar. Sampai rumah je tengok pelamin dah 80% nak siap, wauuu! sangat laa kagum and berpuas hati!
Alhamdullilah, memang worth it sangat.
I memang suka mini pelamin, simple and lawaaaaa.





Tengok, besar tak my handbouquet? haha. I cakap I nak hand bouquet yang besar. tamau kecik-kecik.
Sekali dorang bagi yang memang betul besar!
Next time kena mintak yang medium. Besar sangat berat nak pegang and hand bouquet tuh tutup half of my upper body dah.


I will keep this as a sweet memory, after so many dramas masa my engagement.
Alhamdullilah, hasil pelamin ni buat i senyum from ear to ear that night.


It was a very beautiful night, indeed :)

xoxo

You are beautiful

Salam all,

Dah lama sebenarnya nak tulis post ni tapi tertahan-tahan sebab not in mood so malas nak susun ayat.

I banyak nampak gambar kat facebook and twitter, perempuan kurus ambil gambar and tulis caption 'dah gemuk'. some people would said, 'mengada. Nak orang puji dia lah tu. Nak orang cakap, taklaa kau kurus laa.
I sebenarnya on both sides. Mungkin perempuan kurus tu nak feel confident. Nak rasa dia cantik. Mungkin dia low self esteem. Mungkin takde orang puji dia cantik. Tapi, orang-orang yang menyampah dengan dia tu, ada btol nya jugak. Sbb tak semua orang boleh terima bila kita mengada-ngada seeking attention. And x semua orang boleh berfikiran positif all time. Same goes to me.

Perempuan biasa nya memang nak rasa dia cantik. Tak semestinya cantik gila. Tapi deep inside nak rasa dia cantik. Nak rasa confident. Sebab tu sensitif bila orang lelaki ketawakan kalau muka licin naik jerawat, bila pakai baju nampak bentuk badan dikatakan macam nangka busuk and ada saja yang x kena. Lepas tu, cakap perempuan complicated. Kalau tipu..marah. Kalau cakap yang betul..kecil hati pula.

Guys, sebenarnya we want u all to be honest with us..in a soft and nice way. If we put on weights, just simply tegor ' nak cakap ni tapi jangan terasa hati. kau macam makin tembam' . If muka kitorang banyak naik jerawat. ' Babe, aku cakap something boleh? Kau allergic eh? Sbb makin teruk jerawat kau. Dulu ok je. X try facial?'
Motif nya nak suruh diet and suruh pergi facial. Tapi nampak tak cara cakap dia? dari tegor, 'wehhh apsal teruk sangat muka kau ni?? g laa facial weh'
Nampak beza dia?
Ada caranya nak bercakap dengan perempuan. Memang betul apa dicakap tapi cara penyampaian tu. And perempuan ni bukan laa nak kena dipuji hari-hari, tapi dia just nak dipuji orang-orang tersayang dia saja. Dalam islam kan isteri kena melaram for suami. Tapi kalau isteri dah melaram and suami buat derk aje. Sebab tu isteri seek attention from sources lain.

Niatnya to feel confident and takmau low self esteem. And semua orang cantik in their own way. Tapi i cant deny ada yang muka cantik perangai buruk. And perangai cantik muka buruk. Ade gak yang luar dalam dua2 pon buruk and luar dalam dua2 cantik.
Pepandai lah korang bezakan.

Tapi for husband, boyfriends and lelaki out there, its important to make your loved ones feel they are beautiful. Yes, perempuan is complicated. We are full of emotions. Only real men knw how to deal with it :)

and to the ladies, dont worry. Jage penampilan and biasanya if muka biasa-biasa je tapi perangai kita superb, orang akan suka dengan kita. Bila orang suka, orang akan start rasa kita cantik and makin sedap dipandang. Even bukan semua orang pun, im sure dalam ramai-ramai mesti ada.. Walaupun seorang.  Aminnnn.

The Kronik Couple

Salam all,

H and I and are miles apart from each other. We only get to meet during weekends twice per month.
Most days, we connected through whatssap, phone calls and did not have many chances to bergayut like we used to do during college time. His office hour ended 6pm, and I have tuition at nights.

During weekends, we always plan to talk about our wedding preparations during lunch or dinner time. Sit at the nice cafe and discuss over coffee. sounds perfect!

But normally, we only sit, enjoy our food, poke each other, criticize the food, take photos of them and planning what desserts to order next, pffttt.

Last weekend, we were stucked in a traffic jam and i was playing with my phone ( which i did most of the time) and H asked about our hantarans. Is it just 7 hantaran or 9?
So I note down, 1st hantaran is the ring, 2nd is... 3rd ... then turned out it is 9! and on august we planned to buy one by one, each month. supposed to start on september but..... erm, there is no action taken.

Then, we talked about what we should wear on the wedding day. I have my own tailor and H said, "what about me?" oh ya, u need to look good too. you are the groom . Next on the list is to find bridal boutique and rent suits or whatsoever to make my man looks handsome.

and I remember something, if we want to get married, we have all to fill some forms right?  then it strucked me..
ALAMAK! Kursus kawin!! I totally forgot about it..

You see, we are too relax and laid back. we are still enjoying our time and didnt realized we have a wedding coming soon. Our own.

I went home and searched for the wedding checklist ( my cousin gave me 6 months ago) .
Realized we still have a lot of things to do. guest list, wedding invitation, canopy.. etc

Oh my.

One step at a time, must go kursus kahwin first.

xoxo!

Cheese baked pasta recipe

Salam all,

Masa balik rumah last weekend, teringin nak makan pasta. biasa buat baked pasta guna carbonara sauce. ni nak guna bolognese sauce. rasa dia ala-ala lasagna gitu.


Bahan - bahan nya :




1 labu bawang besar ( potong dadu )
2 ulas bawang putih ( cincang)
2 biji lada benggala (potong dadu, hijau, merah or kuning semua boleh)
1 biji tomato ( potong dadu, buang biji)
1 tin cendawan butang ( hiris)
Daging cincang
1 botol sauce pasta prego ( traditional/mushroom)
pasta ( macaroni, elbow, spiral, semua pon boleh guna.
serbuk oregano
mozarella cheese
garam secukup rasa

Cara-cara :

*rebus pasta dalam air yang dicampur 2 sudu kecil minyak masak & sedikit garam sampai separuh masak.
Tos kan dan biar di tepi. Jangan sampai masak semua sebab nanti kita nak bake. so tak lembik sangat.

1. tumis bawang putih, lepas tu masukkan bawang besar. biar sampai kekuningan sikit.
2. masukkan daging, goreng sampai masak.
3. masukkan mushroom and lada benggala , masak selama 3 minit
4. masukkan sauce prego
5. masukkan garam & serbuk oregano.

6. Gaulkan sauce dengan pasta tadi, masukkan ke dalam bekas dan tabur cheese di atasnya.
7. Bake selama 20minit. Kalau boleh kuah jangan terlalu banyak, nanti pasta lembik.





Selamat mencuba!

xoxo!
