1. Dah beli kain di arab st untuk dijadikan tudung. Susah sangat nak cari yang dah siap dan kain serta warnanya yang bersesuaian dengan baju nikah.

2. Dah jumpa mak andam nikah. Paid in full. She’s awesome nice!

3. Dah jumpa videographer. Left with final payment. Yeay!

4. Esok ada facial.

5. Nari ada meeting.

6. iPenat!

7. Masih nak kena paint a bit of the door frame aje.

Kenapa?? Kenapaaa????

Ouh. I need double sided tape and more pins.

I feel so blessed. Thank you, Allah.

We had our first appointment with Lady Sophia Bridal last Thursday. It was difficult to choose the baju. Semuanya lawa! Wish i could pilih them all *sigh*

eventually picked 4. An off white, a gold, a very soft baby pink, and a bold pink+black for the two days

They go sweetly with the cream, gold & champagne with a bit of pink ribbons + flowers pelamin

Am keeping pink to a minimal, i hope.

Eh, tidak! Spoke too soon. Hehehe.

My family will be in pink thai silk + brown songket baju kurung pahang. My bridesmaids will be in pink top + pink & orange polka dots kain for their baju kurung. Tapi semuanya different shades of pink from my baju pengantin. So it’s still ok, kan kan kan???

And and and… Another fab news

One of my best girlfriends, nurul, is doing the props for our photobooth. To be used for our nikah and sanding photobooths for guests…. as well as the outdoor photoshoots after nikah, the casual outdoor (yes, another one!) one week after our nikah & after the sanding *yes, stop rolling your eyes*grins*

So, anyways, back to the props story… She did a fabulous job! Awesome sangat. I didnt put any expectation. Just a vague idea in my head how it should look like. Showed nurul some pics so that she knew what i was talking about.

And last night. She whatsapp-ed me the work-in-progress. Amazing sangat! Masya Allah, it’s 12345678x nicer than what i had in mind!

I super sangat love my girlfriends!

Anyways, here’s the sneak peek

ps: some of the phrases that dont make sense are actually memorable ones from students’ karangans over the years. The ones that still tickle me (and us) till now.

‘Assalamu’alaikum polis’ is circa 2003 when a student wrote in his compo. Character called police to report a robbery.

‘meletup kegembiraan’ popped up in 2008, i think. Student wrote a direct translation of ‘bursting with happiness’.

amilia from facelift has sent me a beautiful sketch of my bridal room yeserday, as promised. she works fast! i’m the one who is not. have yet to reply to her. after i’m done with my work, i hope.

ola lola has messaged about the desserts deco. they work fast and have started on the desserts deco, as well. i’m the one who is not. masih belum sempat buat deposit *guilty* again, after i’m done with work, i hope.

honestly, i’ll be more than happy to let them (facelift & lolas) decide the best combi and doll up their respective corner until they are satisfied me? i’ll be glad to have sedap desserts to munch on and a presentable bridal room to get our pics taken. hehehehe

cos macarons, popcorns and chocs are the only things in my mind… i’m leaving the deco to the experts cos i’ve always been wow-ed by their work.

seriously, macarons!

*not thinking mode* lalalalalalalaaaa

17 days…. seventeen…. tujuh belas.

stay calm.

Raffles Place on a sunday

Nevermind that it rained that day. In fact, i love it! Perhaps we could get good pics with rainbows, was the first thing that crossed my mind. However, tak dapat rainbows…. tapi dapat many shots of water reflections and splashes of water when we jumped. When else could we get such awesome pics if not on a rainy day

The grey skies might appear gloomy but, fret not. It worked perfectly well for us cos we both wore white (+khaki pants for him). When we were specifically instructed by the photographer to “wear white, khaki pants, no prints”, little did we know the reason why. They look effortlessly timeless

And the hot pink heels made their debut!

The pictures turn out amazing much thanks to our dear friend for the truly unexpected wedding gift. We love everything about it.

The entire photography session was fantastic. Everyone was in good spirits, smiles & laughters all around although the shoot overshot by 2 hrs. We were supposed to end at 7 pm… tapi akhirnya selesai at 9 pm. Even till the very last pic, semua masih lagi senyum, ketawa, berbual walaupun dah penat, kaki dah lenguh

ps: i did my own make up. It was a quick-quick rush-rush job cos i only had abt half an hour between my class that ended at 330 pm and the photo session that started at 5 pm. Nasib baik muka tak jadi macam joker *LOL*

i used MAC primer. Awesome, i say. It stayed throughout the photoshoot. Despite the rain, jumps, sweat, oil. It stayed

Sneak peek!!

The MAC face primer, eyeshadow primer, lipstick & lip gloss.

Other make up that i used not in this pic, chanel foundation, estée lauder concealer & blusher, doll me up eyeshadows, and some off-the-counter mascara, eyeliner & eyebrows powder. No time to put on the fake eyelashes, tho. Tapi tak pe

On our way to raffles place. Us in a cab. I main-main experiment with the tudung style. Nasib baik menjadi *phew* god knows berapa banyak pins i used to make sure that tudung stays in place throughout. And it did! After so many jump shots this and that, the tudung stayed good throughout

Plus: i bought the lace tudung at the last minute – day before photoshoot baru sempat beli tudung, cardigan to be worn over the sleeveless empire cut dress, his shirt, his pants. Nasib baik sempat!

I still have a lot to learn in the ‘draw eyebrows’ department, as you can see. But nevermind, janji tak macam wayang pekji, tak pe. Hehehehe.

And these are the ones by Little Fairies!
