Dugaan

Salam all,

Ahad lepas, H took me to dinner. Last dinner as a couple. Sebab next time when we see each other again is on our solemnization night :)

So during dinner, kitorang teringat kenangan bercinta 5 tahun lepas. Masa H kat Auckland and I was in Penang.
I was so happy that night.

After dinner, H hantar I pergi bus station. Masa stop kat roundabout near Duta Station tu, tiba tiba je, DUMMM!
Ada kereta hit us from behind. I tak pakai seatbelt masa tu, and sambil makan ice cream. Apa lagi, tertonyoh lah ice cream tuh kat muka. ( quite funny bila fikir balik)

H and that guy ( yang langgar kitorang tu) terus pergi nearest pump station. Nasib kitorang agak baik sebab lelaki tu admit salah dia. So senang lah nak settle. Cuma terkejut lah sebab kuat jugak kena hentak tu.

I missed my bus that night tapi alhamdullilah semua selamat. Dugaan orang nak kahwin...

Pre wedding photoshoot - The venue

Salam all

Pagi tadi baru setel pre wedding photoshoot. Alhamdullilah, semua went well.

Theme untuk pre wedding is picnic. I memang dah lama teringin nak ambil gambar kat padang ragut UPM sebab ada pokok dalam cerita 'Lagenda budak setan' tu. So bila i cerita kat few friends, nak photoshoot situ. Ramai yang cakap 'Tak payah lah. Leceh lah situ nak masuk kena ada surat bla bla'

Aik, belum cuba dah give up? :)
I would like to try. So i called pihak taman pertanian UPM. Tanya procedure macam mana nak mintak permission masuk kawasan tu. Ada entrance fee ker ape kan.
Buat surat apa semua. Honestly, memang agak leceh prosedur dia. I ambil masa 3 minggu nak settle semua. Surat misplace lah. Fax tak dapat lah. Last-last ade lah seorang pegawai UPM yang sangat baik hati tolong i.
I memang tak dapat access lagi and I macam give up dah. I discuss dengan photographer, kita buat plan b lah. Pegi tempat lain. I redha lah. Maybe bukan rezeki I.

Suddenly, I dapat call from UPM on friday morning, inform surat i dah lulus and I bole guna kawasan tu, cuma i kena call 3 pengawai lagi utk inform photoshoot on saturday. Last minute sangat sebab shoot on saturday, sehari sebelum baru dapat access. Yayy alhamdullilah. Dapat jugak akhirnya.

I sampai UPM around 630am. Makeup and settle semua kat masjid UPM. Pukul 715am gerak cari padang ragut tu. Sesat pulak. We missed the sunrise moment.

Kul 8am baru jumpa padang tu. So start shooting sampai pukul 12pm.
Panas juga tapi worth every second. Hope dapat laa gambar gambar yang lawa :)

Tapi kawasan tu memang lawa sangat with green grass and pokok pokok.
Masa i duduk kat atas bukit and tengok pemandangan, Masya Allah. Lawa betul.

Akan cerita banyak lagi bila dapat gambar nanti :)

xoxo!

Happy CNY!

Salam all,

 

Ya Allah, banyaknya benda nak update tapi I cant find time. Super busy lately. Yela, dah tinggal few weeks je till my wedding day.

Last week, dapat 9 days holiday sempena CNY. Memang spend it to the fullest, 2 hari pergi majlis akikah little cousin kat Muadzam Shah, then banyak hari spend ke sana sini menghantar kad kahwin kat sanak saudara. keluar rumah pukul 8 pagi balik rumah pukul 10 malam. penat tatau lah nak cakap macam mana. Tapi lagi kesian kat my parents. sure lagi penat ke sana sini.

I ambil masa satu hari pergi spa kat aster spring. Buat hydro treatment (ker ape tah namenye) sebab kulit i kering, kurang air. pastu buat jugak scalp tension relief. Tatau laa best ker x sebab i tertidur sepanjang masa. Haa kira best laa kot tu kan?

Hari tu sempat juga beli barang buat bunga telur, of course bukan i yang buat. Barang-barang tu hantar kat my wedding planner, Rukhsana Ridwan. I memang tak kreatif. I bole do research and google je :)

Fitting baju pun dah selesai last weekend. Baju sanding for my side dah settle. Baju sanding kt H's side pun dah settle. I lost a few kgs so baju tu mmg muat perfectly. Just baju sanding kat kelantan kena kecik kan sket.
Cuma yang tak settle lagi just baju nikah i. Tapi da janji ngan pegi fitting this sunday. Hope semua

Setakat ni alhamdullilah semua went smoothly. Cuma i risau takut last minute nanti ade je macam macam masalah.
Doakan semua okay ye :)

Shopping kain for bridemaids di Gulatis, Shah Alam

Salam all,

I ambil masa satu weekend pergi Gulatis dengan Shikin, Lino and Amy. Nak cari baju for my bridesmaids.

Masa nak tentukan color, macam-macam color keluar, tiffany blue, mint green, dusty pink and whatsoever tapi I rasa better pergi Gulatis and tengok sendiri depan mata color mana yang berkenan, lagipun I'll be wearing white so any color pun match :)

Sampai je kat Gulatis, Amy call and inform dia akan running late, tiba tiba ada tetamu kat rumah.

So Shikin and Lino helped me to decide color mana yang nak beli.

Dalam banyak-banyak color, I suka champagne,nude color, or olive green. Nampak rich sangat color dia.

Since ramai girlfriends lain yang busy with their own schedules so kitorang beli je for semua. Lagipun dah janji ada Lino's Bachelorette Party ( you can click the link to read about the party) malam  tu jugak, senang lah nak pass kain for orang tak dapat datang.

Last-last we chose nude color sebab boleh masuk dengan semua skin tone berbeza gadis-gadis dan dua orang ibu mengandung berbangsa asia.

Dua orang my girlfriends dah pregnant masa ni, tapi i forced them jadi pengapit jugak hihi

bukan nak buat kerja berat pun. Memang nak close friends jadi pengapit :)

All my beautiful ladies bergaya with plastic bag gulatis :)

ada 9 pengapit semua sebenarnya tapi lagi 3 orang from my maktab friends tak datang.

Ini semua stf friends.

Tengok shikin ( balloon purple) tak pegang plastic gulatis, kau pakai lah kotak tu nanti shikin hehe

Tak sabar nak tengok semua orang bergaya lawa-lawa masa my wedding nanti.

tapi please, jangan outshine me.

kalau tak, kau yang aku kahwinkan nanti :P

Bridal Spa package at Aster Spring, KBMall

Salam all,

Masa cuti Thaipusam last weekend, I balik Kelantan sebab nak settle pasal kahwin. Kebetulan Kak Dila from Rukhsana Ridwan came back too to discuss pasal khemah, doorgift vip and bunga telur.

Hari Ahad, Kelantan tak cuti. My parents kerja and I seorang je kat rumah so I plan for facial dayout kat Aster Spring KBmall.

Simple Attire

First time kat Aster Spring, they need to know about your lifestyle and background. Kena answer a few questionaire and ada  therapist akan check your skin condition. Turn out my skin agak sensitive and terdedah sangat pada matahari.

Therapist tu ada bagi info sebab I kuat minum coffee/nescafe. Sehari paling sikit mesti 1 cup. So dia cakap if I minum 1 cup, I kena minum another 8 glass of water to flush out balik caffeine tu. Kalau minum 2 cup coffee kena minum 16 glass air lah. Oh my. Kalau weekend, pagi tengahari malam semua coffee. Camne tu?

Minum coffee ni tak elok untuk kulit sebenarnya. Cepat aging nanti.

Bila dah tau condition kulit, dia suggest lah jenis facial mana yang sesuai for my skin. Now kulit I stress and kering. Jadi kena buat calming treatment dulu sebab nak treat kulit tu bagi calm and ready to receive another treatment next time. I ada tanya, kalau ada treatment yang boleh bagi kulit nampak glowing masa wedding day nanti. Therapist tu cakap, tunggu 14 days after treatment today pastu baru boleh buat.

Sebab yang glowing tu bahan dia agak kuat, dia takut nanti kulit I akan ada redness or mengelupas.

Jadi hari tu, I ambil bridal package, bayar RM1299 and dapat spa treatment value RM2000. Untung lah kan?

Everytime I datang for treatment, dia akan tolak from RM2000. Valid for setahun.

Package dia, RM800 for facial, RM500 for body treatment, RM700 for add on treatment. and you just pay RM1299!

And special for bride to be, I dapat scrub, toner, calming oil, ada age defense foundation, lipcare, diary and jewellery box yang sangat lawaaa ( I tak sempat ambil gambar) and also another rm100 voucher.

Treatment dia sangat superb! She talked to me through the process. It was 2 hours. I hampir tertidur dah. Syok sangat dia buat facial and massage my neck and head. Tak terasa macam two hours.

After facial, kulit rasa licin and soft. Biasa macam licin and tegang. Ni rasa sangat selesa. maybe sebab I da buat treatment yang sesuai for my skin kot.

After habis treatment, dia bagi minum and tanya, I nak touch up a lil bit tak? Dia boleh tolong make up kan.

Diorang memang ada provide make up kit untuk kita touch up after facial so takde laa kita balik with naked face. I suka with make up product diorang and beli satu lipstick collagen from them. Lawa color dia. will do another review about it.

No filter photo ye.

Aster Spring ada juga branch kat Suria KLCC, Paradigm Mall, OU, Bangsar Shopping Centre, Pavilion, Mid Valley, Jaya One, Bangi, Sunway Pyramid and many more.

xoxo! :)

Engagement Dress Review

Salam all,

Lama nya nak tunggu review engagement dress haha. Sebenarnya I nak ambil gambar close up baju engagement, before buat review tapi nampak macam takde tindakan diambil, I decided to do review today.

Masa engagement, I taknak pin tudung ke belakang, sebab tak nak nampak tercekik :P

and also nak cover chest.

Tapi jadi tertutup pula bahagian beads yang lebat tu.

Sebenarnya, design asal bukan macam ni. A bit different tapi tukang jahit tersalah jahit. I memang tak suggest lah for korang untuk hire dia. Banyak masalah sangat. Baju lambat siap lah. I hantar bulan 4, janji bulan 6 siap tapi bila nak ambil bulan 6 tu, dia tak start jahit pun lagi. Bila dah jahit, ukuran lain, design lain, kena hantar betulkan balik. dia buat kain meleret labuh panjang, sebenarnya i nak pleats. Masa sketch design dah betul dah. Bila dah dapat baju dengan ukuran betul, kain kotor pula sebab kena minyak mesin jahit. Sabar je lah kan? Tapi I takmau stress, terima lah baju ni dengan design ni.

So I takkan reveal lah siapa tukang jahit tu kat sini :)

Tapi, apa yang I suka is beading dia. Beading Hariz Zakwan Wedding Services yang buat.

Memang lawa and Hariz siap tolong hantar dryclean baju I yang kotor kena minyak tu.

I cakap kat Hariz, I dah banyak sangat horror stories with  this dress, tolong lah cantikkan baju ni and save my engagement haha. drama sangat.

Hariz cadang untuk buat veil sekali, tapi I taknak pakai veil for engagement. Kahwin nanti je pakai veil.

Even I dah terlambat dua minggu dari masa sepatutnya I hantar for beading tapi Hariz and his team dapat siapkan baju on time. Seminggu before my wedding, haa nyawa-nyawa ikan tau.

So thank you to them!

You can click their facebook page here Hariz & Team wedding services.

Tudung tu I tempah kat Kelantan, memang our family selalu tempah tudung situ. Senang bila custom made, boleh ikut bentuk muka :)

Lega bila ramai puji baju cantik, at least hilang negative feeling tu :)

xoxo!
