maintain eh.

A fellow B2B posted this article on her FB & Twitter and I guess my fellow B2Bs can relate to this. Thanks for sharing Aisyah! :)

5 tips for maintaining sanity during pre wedding preparations.

LOLZ at Halal Police. Alah biasa lah tu, mulot orang tak bleh tutop pe. Tapi yang penting, buat la majlis yang sederhana, apa yang boleh kita mampu. Takyah la nak buat kat castle kalau tak boleh afford, nanti dah lepas kahwin nak makan Fish & Chips ke nak makan rumput (pathetic dig at K.L Gangster, haha.) choose lah ye.

Anyway, the only "argument" I've had is with my dad. Sigh, he insists that ceremonies for both sides should be held on the same day and not on separate days. Mak aku yang rilek jack, she ok go nye as long as the guest list tak exceed 500 people.Maximum 600 dia cakap. I'm cool with that cos I don't intend to invite alot of people. This may be a bit harsh but I'm puzzled whenever someone says, "Asal tak jemput?"

I'm like... o.0. Well for obvious reasons, duh.

1) There's a budget and inviting more guests means added costs.
2) The couple genuinely forgets about you.
3) You're not important enough to be remembered/invited. So deal with it.

Hope I didn't offend anyone. Hehehe. I'll be keeping tabs on my wedding guestlist- I don't think I'll be inviting primary, secondary and my ITE friends- unless they're really close to me. I want something intimate but we'll see. You know la old people, satu kampong nak jemput, so see how hor.

decisions.

How merepek is this?!
I drafted a blog entry about Mizz. Nina's wedding, got distracted and in the end deleted the entry. -.-

Yesterday we had to head down to H.D.B for the unit selection. For the past few weeks, we've been at odds with each other about the house. Thought I'll be relaxed, turns out I was the fussy one! Everything also don't want, nak tingkat tinggi, taknak tepi tong sampah, ni taknak, tu taknak- semua tak kene! Doesn't help that my prefered units were already booked. :(

After countless discussions and outbursts, we short listed another 4 units and Alhamdullilah, we got our first choice!

So gotta wait another 4 months till we sign the lease agreement. :) Now that the house issue is more or less settled, I can concentrate more on the wedding.Haven't been making any progress for the wedding. I've been looking around and now I'm thinking of engaging a freelance MUA instead of a bridal house. -.-

Keep changing my mind about the bridal house. Sigh, must really decide and do all the necessary bookings next year. Reading about bad experiences from other brides scares me too especially when the negative reviews involve the vendor I'm planning to engage. :( I have yet to have nightmares about the wedding but tak lama lagi confirm termimpi mimpi, haha. :p

t.o.m.o.k's wedding.

I am a sucker for celebrity weddings especially those from Malaysia and Indonesia. Always inspired by their classy gubahan and pelamin.

Yesterday my friend showed me a video of T/omok's wedding. T/omok was a member of a Malaysian band, New Boyz. They produced awesome karaoke jiwang songs. My 13 year old self would have weeped like mad. Hey, don't judge, I'm sure there's a bit of jiwang in every one of us. :P

Gorgeous.

And of course, this KPO had to dig out for the wedding videos. Love them! Shall save all these and show my wedding vendors.

Save The Date video! So touching. Eh I wonder if my H can sing for me also not?!

And the official wedding video. Loving their dais!!

My 13 year old self is vair sad now. :'(

"Lights, Camera, Action!"

I don't know if it's just me but I quite disagree when people say there's not a need for a videographer. I think photography and videography are important. They are below the ranks of food and andaman means they're above deco. Geddit geddit? HAHAHA. Tapi masing masing eh.

But ya, I think they're important cos I want the wedding moments to be captured forever. So when dah ade anak pinak cucu cicit ke dah tua lupa lupa boleh lah teringat zaman kahwing kahwing.

And I want someone who will be able to capture the precious moments nicely- with a nice pricetag to boot of course. He/She must also have chemistry with me and my partner. Nanti kaku pulak senyum. Actually videographers were the first thing I researched about cos photographers are aplenty and totally jatuh hati with Bliss PhotoCinema. THEY ARE AWESOME LIKE OMG I CAN'T WAIT FOR 2013 SLOT TO OPEN GONNA CHOPE THEM QUICK QUICK.

Phew. So there, you can see how eggcited I am!!! I really want them man sampai hari hari stalk FB dorang tau. I'm not sure if they have a website, but here's their FB account.

Here are some of the videos I super sukaaaaaaa!!!

Colours.

When I was younger, I wanted an all pink wedding. Semua nak pink, no other colours cos pink is my feberet colour! All different shades of pink- bandung pink, cotton candy pink, pig pink...

Then dah besar sikit, I wanted a pure white wedding tapi teringat I hate it when white stuff kene dirt or anything. I know I will freak out if my white pelamin or table skirting or whatever kene tumpah lauk. Macam my eyes cannot rest in peace if something white gets dirty. Hahahaha.

Then dah besar sikit sikit, I wanted a Tiffany blue wedding. I wanted Tiffany blue everywhere with a touch of white and pink...but then when I think back, like a bit kecoh but a nice colour combination nonetheless.

Damn, I'm rambling here. Anyway, check these pretty colour palettes from The Perfect Palette!

WOOOOO, so the pretty and meletop! As you can see, I'm into Mauve, Dusty Rose, Ivory colours. Mom said, NO DARK COLOURS. So she will get her wish but I'll post some dark colour palettes soon! <3

daun hijau.

Been pretty busy and distracted by the usuals- work, FB, twitter and warding off the dreaded flu. I'm still feeling like crap. :( It's SOP for me to fall sick every month, I don't even bother going to the doctor now. Good luck to him, hahahahahahaha.

Anyhoos, we've been discussing about the house. Printing the necessary forms and going to H/D/B hub to view the show rooms. I AM THRILLED but not so thrilled to see my CPF statement after everything has been settled.

Realised we're both quite fussy when it comes to choosing units. Tak nak ni, tak nak tu, nak ni, nak tu. Tak bleh ni, tak bleh tu. Pitch a tent kat East Coast sudah kalau cerewet sangat. Hahahahaha, tapi I believe we HAVE to be choosy in these kind of things! Pasal ape tau, this is a long term commitment! So must really make sure we're comfortable with the block and unit we're choosing.

I'm all for practicality. The block I prefer is near the main road and bus stop. I don't really like blocks that are too dalam because-
1) it's gonna be too quiet at night and it scares me.
2) people visiting my house will have to walk out for a cab.
3) people visiting my house have to walk a distance to the bus stop. hahahahaha.

The current place I'm staying in is very the dalam and sunyi despite being opposite PIE. I hate it, I'm not saying that it should be noisy as hell but atleast tak lah sunyi sangat. Like I said, we trooped down to H/D/B Hub and I thought I was kiasu, sekali ade lagi yang kiasu ah. Ade sampai bawak compass and orang feng shui semua hahahahahahaha.

My boss reminded me about afternoon sun. I don't care about afternoon sun cos my current house always kena afternoon sun, so I'm used to it. Besides there's always the aircon, fan and curtains what.

Then tak nak dekat multi storey carpark, taknak dekat tong sampah- dah cakap dah, pitch a tent sudah. Hahahahaha but I know the "implications" of staying near a multi storey carpark. Nanti malam malam some inconsiderate twat will perah perah his bike and make noise. So ngada ngada right!! But hopefully our preferred unit will not be taken up, Insyallah.

Saw the finishes too, pretty! But I prefer C/o/s/t/a R/i/s' finishes. So pretty, got seashells! Nice ceramic flooring and timber skirtings! Eeeee, cannot wait ah!!
