the dress (wedding tales part 2)

Yesterday I met my tailor, Molly to discuss about the wedding dress.. erm so I’ve decided to make an outfit for both solemnization & reception. yea I knew it had costs me quite a fortune (and my mum said it’s a waste) but when I went to a few bridal shops for dress testing, there’s no dress that I love or suits me really well.. Its either too big or the fabric are not really comfortable (makes me looked fat) or full with beaded which I don’t like or the design is too over the top.. so dy said why not I design my own dress which I like a lot!
So after 1hour++ of discussing, molly finally understood how I wanted my dress look alike so now I just have to pray for the dresses to come out as I wished for and I also asked her to customize my own veil cause mostly what they sells in shop are not really in my taste. I wanted a chiffon veil that looks simple & classic and what they got is not in a kind of material that I like and the beaded are not so neat consider when I have to pay in about rm150 for it. So why not la kan I design my own veil too hehe..

And today is Ma’s birthday so we went out for dinner to celebrate at Club Shell and we had so much fun taking pictures and enjoying the foods (even it’s not so scrumptious) and their staff are so nice they played the birthday song without us asking and Ma was so surprised she even asked “eh korang dh pakat ke ngan diaorang” hahaa..

Anyway happy birthday Ma, u turned 26th today and getting married in less than 2 months. Congratulations ya.. And here is when the moment captured.

ok, do i look slimmer in this photo? yeay

what am doing so far.. (wedding tales part 1)

So the emails are going in and out to the vendors & photographers. Since im managing my prep from here the easier way to keep in touch is by the internet. I already emailed the oleole manis, mybride bridal, budakli & markless photographers also bunga segar for quotation but so far everything is still under negotiation so yes nothing confirm yet.

Dy and I were planning to take our pre-wed photo during the Chinese New Year holiday but the photographer is not chosen yet (im going to figure it out later with him). So our concept would be back to school (since we’d met during high school) and to make it more real we’re going to wear the school uniform and everything suitable as a prop. Dy said he’s going to buy his outfit but I think that is going to waste the money; every penny is countable at this point so I might be just borrowing from my student :)

And I’ve been doing blog hopping for quite sometimes and mostly to the inspired wedding blogs and certainly its really make me nervous. Reading about their preps really makes it sick to my stomach. I haven’t sending my garment for the dress to the tailor yet (that’s one of the reason) hopefully gonna make it today. After this, I promise.

** I'm watching the American Idol right now.. and those people who thinks they got talent to persuade music which bydway they did not, I feel sorry for them. Honestly people, go find something else to do. Pls STOP singing on national tv.

15.01.05 -- 15.01.10

It had been 5 years today and how time really flies.. It felt like yesterday since the day I laid my eyes on him once again after we finished high school. When most of the men out there surprised their girls with flower or expansive gift and even a romantic dinner, mine swept me away by words “I love u too dear..always love u” and that’s enough to bring out my tears down my cheek. I want nothing else other than his promise & assurance.

Sayang,
As I said last night, despite everything I’ve done that hurts you.. my love, my feeling towards u never failed. It’s getting stronger every day, every time im thinking about u, every time I see your face (or picture), every time u holds my hand. It’s terrifying to imagine how much I love u & life without u.
Yea there is ups & downs.. there is times when we fought, there is times when I yelled, I sulked over silly, petty things. But I truly hope that u did understand (like u always do) and will always accept me for who I am.. ur psycho fiancee :)

Sweetheart,
Happy 5th Anniversary.
Can’t wait to start a new life with u.

I love u..always love u.


XOXO

Sunday missions :

Missions :
1. Buy card & birthday present for Marcus, teacher and staff
2. Book a birthday cake

I left house around 2pm and headed up to Lina's house for lunch. Thanks Kak Ja & housemates for the invitation & mouth-watering laksa penang. kenyang bangat.
After that, Yatt and I started with our hunting. First we stopped by at One Stop on our way to Parkson to get the paper bag but unfortunately nothing there that within our budget. But I’d found a few things yang sgt cute and very appropriate for my wedding favors. So I made some thinking, why not la kan I buy these cute boxes (pic below) put some chocolates and ribbon instead of buy candle (my 1st choice) that a bit pricey. Nevertheless when the guest eats all the chocolates maybe the box can be use to put a brooch, coins or anything else appropriate so no waste there.

But the store didn’t have a stock they only got it in about 40pcs but they promised to let me know if the new stock arrives. Yeay.

im going to borong all these boxes later
yg ni sgt cute utk buat potpouri
After One Stop we went to Parkson looking for Marcus’s birthday present. It wasn’t hard cause we already decided what to buy it just I couldn’t find the perfect card as Anita wished (big, exclusive, no cartoon figure and yada yada) me to buy. So we went to every shop that sells card, book stores, Memory Lane, and at Popular I bought 20pcs of small birthday card that costs rm0.60 each for teacher and staff.
Still looking for the big birthday card but still nothing.. Then we went to Super Save to buy a present for teacher & staff (because of the budget sgt ciput) the Teacher Welfare Club only can afford to buy a present from there and we also found a very nice paper bag within our budget. Super Save has so many selection of quality paper bag yg sgt colorful with designs. I think this shop is a good place to supply me the paper bag for the favors. Kalaulah diaorg ada buat customize paper bag kan lg best :)

paper bag ni sgt sesuai utk letak favors on Dy's side

Our next stop is Hot Cross Bun to reserve the cake and after that we stopped by at Belle to look for the card but because its Sunday they closed early. Ermm.. since Survey just around the corner so we tried our luck there. There’s no such luck but I did found a very cute design birthday card that also costs rm0.60 each. This is more worth it than the pcs that I bought at Popular because it’s bigger and comes with different color and design. So borong semua stock for the whole year almost 50pcs of it.
After Survey, we went to Boulevard our last chance to survey for the big card but still no luck there. Then I gave up..
Around 7.30pm, when my legs almost numb caused of driving and walking, we decided to go home. It was exhausted and tiring day but I’m contented at the same time because I was like doing something for the wedding too so it is worth it :)

5 days.

So 5 days after schooling started;

I only got 4 hours of sleep every night.
I woke up 5.45am every day.
I made students standing on the table.
I twisted my leg in front of students & jump down on my feet.
I’m not start with the exercise yet.
I got workload lined up already up till march.
I’m stress out.

Yea it’s been 5 days only. How am gonna survive for the next 30 years?

Thank god its Friday.

late new year wish.

It must be too late to wish happy new year la kan..

On new year eve I stayed home watching telly and waiting for the fireworks. Me & housematee watched the firework that played somewhere at boulevard from our balcony. Thought it gonna be blast like last year but they just played it for awhile. well boring, I went to bed. Got a long day the next day.

I've been lazy to write down here dont know why myb sbb tak rasa excited sgt pun for new year to arrive cause as long am here, it just the same to me... I just wish Dy is here. But 2009 kinda been good to me. It gave me a fiance definitely, a good health (only 1 day mc for the year) and never ending happiness. (even work still sucks.hehe) whatever, im grateful for everything 2009 had brought me. So 2010 pls be kind to me ya. I consider u as my big year of all.

And as for the new year resolution I don’t hv any new act. Just wanna lose some weight. Yes I say it again (so that I can look good/slimmer in my weds pic :p), I also want to save more and stop buying unnecessary thing and to not cut my messy split ends long hair. save for the wedding as my mum said. wink!
Have a good year guys. I know I would.

i miss him & that place.

am back to miri

Safely arrived miri around 1.30pm. Flight transit kt Kuching and sempat jugak kami bershopping kat duty-free shop. I bought miniature perfume set from CD counter and was thinking to make it as one of the hantaran mixed up with make up set from MAC so tgkla camne..tamau la kan klu lari budget huhu.

Now nk rest jap. Bilik lum kemas lg huhu..

It comes to end.

Holidays almost over for me and new year will be in 2 days time. Erghh sgt tak suka sbb dh kena balik miri. Im leaving tomorrow morning together with yatt & lynn in a same flight cause we got a staff meeting to attend on 31st. Once again am going to celebrate new year in miri. Anyway bkn celebrate sgt pun selalunya time will be spend to clean up the house that we left for holiday almost 6 weeks ago.

Nothing more to say, i'd been enjoying my holiday and been (broke) already. yes 2 months of salary dah habis and its not even January yet hihi. But hopefully year to come will bring more happiness and will be easier for me same goes to the preparation as a bride to be.
Semoga semuanya dipermudahkan. Aminn.. (*_*)

Im going to end this entry with lot of pictures that has been taken during the holiday. enjoy ya guys cause i had so much fun.

Its started.

This week we’re trying to start doing something about the wedding and before everything get started we somehow agreed to one thing; less is more. Thats the key for everything as dy said :)

so we went to Jakel hunting for the dresses garment for both solemnization & reception . Wow sgt ramai org because of the year end sale promotion but luckily for us their staff were friendly enough to handle our demands instantly. I always love chiffon so it wasnt hard for me to decide and I was like, just picked the very first one design that caught my eyes, didnt bother to look around cause it will make harder for me to make up my mind, and with dy there made it easier for me. I always want white ruffles dress for my wedding and Dy chose a baby blue garment for his side.

Then our theme color would b like this. sort of i guess and I like it :)



nk dress camni tp dy ckp im not slim enough..huhu kecik ati

sgt suka ini :)
Now its time to start design the dress. yeyy

yea.. am back

I was lazy and hv been pending to write for quite so long despite all the times, the access that i got, it just am so enjoying the holiday filling up with eating, sleeping, shopping, movie session and doing everything i ♥ including spent times with my dear Dy. He’s been busy with work but trying his best to spare some quality time with me.. kesian u sayang every day I'd pushed him to leave office early so that we can grab dinner together hehe

Went back home for hari raya aidiladha and the weather was like heaven. It was pouring rain everyday and i was like doing everything from under the duvet but I really love it. yes it's not always like that in kelantan consider I went home every 2 months where is the weather always burning and I cant stand to go anywhere in such a heat. sama mcm duk miri jeh.

so I only got 2 weeks left before the holiday ends. Going back home tomorrow and need to do or more to decide on a few things about the wedding. Need to visit a few more bridal shops for dress testing (nothing catches my eyes yet so far), to choose the dais of my dream and to find a perfect bakery for my wedding cake.

Everyone keeps saying “tape lambat lg, 6 bln lagi”

ergghh I hate to hear that. Knowing that when I get back to miri, I wont manage to do anything right alone even to decide what kind of dress I’d love to wear for solemnization or what color I’d love as for the wedding theme huhu. I cant do this alone and time management is important. 6 months like far away for some people but for me everything need to be start from now otherwise there’s will be no wedding for me in June, 2010. God help me!

p/s: going to upload pics of lynn's wedding later. got a plane to catch. tata
