When Hubby's bit Busy..

Disember can be a tough time.. Even though certain days are perfect for family holidays, the other days are for keeping up with company's goal or any last minute task that you should complete before the new year.. kan.. kan.. ( if me.. office budgetting is the toughest one.. hehe) Like hubby, he's working in private so he has this Annual Meetings which he should be part of thing and gives his 200% to complete his task.. Iyela.. baru lagi haritu cuti lame nak kahwin kan.. hehe..

So, we didn't got so many times to spend together these few weeks after return from Melaka holiday.. He has been home so late.. But I appreciate how he try to keep me happy though.. 

On the first weekend he's busy working.. he let me went to PD with my family visiting my aunt.. saje bawak opah jalan pergi rumah my aunt @ PD.. best jugak berkelah ramai2.. Cuma cian hubby miss this moments.

Nabilah and Fikran..

When we have break on Tuesday, lucky my dear hubby got the day off too.. we went to Curve for IKEA's western.. bawak budak - budak degil jalan - jalan :D Nabilah will return home to PD.. kesian plak if tak bawak die jalan - jalan mane - mane..

X-mas deco can be very interesting..

When hubby feels like finishing things at home.. I accompany him over tea and coffee @ Kopitiam.. New favorite is Bangi Kopitiam TTDI Shah Alam..

 Unifi @ Bangi Kopitiam.. so hubby can view vid making tricks tutorial and some idea from what's on youtube faster

 I bought myself a magazine.. A bonus, Marie Claire gives freebies.. small planner for 2011. Exactly what I need right now.. and.. it's Peugeot.. huhu

 Quite relaxing with performance on Wednesday night..

 Some views

 On the table..

 I did miss several wedding last week.. :( My friend and Hana Yoriee especially.. Hubby still working last weekend and my aunt comes to pick up Nabila.. so I just follow my mom to kedai emas and bought my necklace and wait for my aunt coming @ home.. Hubby has finished his task for the annual meeting.. I'm home alone today because he's in Melaka playing bowling for company.. ump.. But he'll have his holiday begin this Thursday till new year.. Yay! (Tapi aku punye cuti tinggal 3 hari je maa.. :p) Will ask hubby to jalan - jalan with me.. Looking forward to have good time with him..

Oh.. Saya Dah Booking OP Saya..

Semalam sebenarnya banyak sangat kenduri kahwin kan.. 2 of my friend got married. My skool mate, Wan in Kelantan. My uni friend, Anne in Melaka.. My dad's friend punya daughter pon ade jugak.. My officemate sorang tu kahwin @ kuala kangsar.. Tapi, I'm so much wanted to go Melaka with my friends from Uni sebab nak pegi kelantan macam agak jauh..  Malangnya tak ade rezeki because last Satuday, my lil brother yang baru dapat lesen like a month unfortunately terlanggar kereta somebody with my kereta harapan.. maka, punah la harapan nak ke kenduri2 kahwin :( so sad... tengok my friend punya pic kahwin cantiknya la.. she's free hair so, nampak glam gitu.. 

Well, I don't own a car.. I use my mom's all the time when I need to use one.. sebab.. my mom tak pandai drive pon so I'm the driver daripada kereta itu tidak berjalan.. hehe.. but since my brother dapat license so we have to share..en abang itu ade keta but keta die pon tak berapa sihat.. keta dah 10 tahun kan.. manual tapi tak tau la these days kadang2 gearbox die problem.. so die tak berani nak bawak jalan jauh.. plus tak service semua.. perlukan duit semua itu..dan short notice jugak la.. I thought my mom's car tu tak teruk sangat so saturday got chance to go tapi rupanye teruk... :( well, understood walaupun agak merajuk sebab tak dapat pergi.. 

Takpe la.. bukan rezeki saya.. rezeki saya di tempat lain. Untuk mengubat hati yang lara..  we met our 1st choice of OP.. discuss and discuss.. honestly, tak murah, ok.. pada saya yang orang kebanyakan ini. Gambar dia memang cantik.. but then maybe dia tak bawak the latest sample album because we meet him outside.. tak tau la.. dia bawak 2 album but tak berjaya membuatkan saya rase yang hasilnya sangat memuaskan hati. Bile imagine nak bayar like beribu2 dan memikirkan hanya dapat album tu, rase macam tak puas hati pulak.. bukannya tak cantik.. cantik cuma tak memuaskan hati saya.. tapi bagi orang lain ok kot.. My honey tu pon fikir the same jugak.. kitorang bukan banyak duit pon so bile kluarkan duit mesti nak rase sangat puas hati.. well, he as someone yang tahu photography pon rase agak kurang berbaloi...

Pastuh Thursday saya pon sibuk mencari link2 photographer dengan harapan dapat la photographer yang harga berpatutan dengan gambar yang cantik.. "sebenarnya I tak view betul - betul pon because I trust my honey so much jadi.. I just paste link to him.. hehe" En abang pon then view la all the pics.. and from all satu yang betul - betul berkenan di hatinya.. iaitu Peveyhack.. which quite a compliment la because he knows how the editing skills yang macam Syahrin Aziz punya style tuh.. trust me.. it's true.. and harga die bagi saya sangat affordable if you are trying to find someone yang skillful and charges yang mampu dibayar oleh orang kebanyakan seperti saya.. 

Then Friday kitorang contact Rashdi, owner Peveyhack untuk see the album kerana pengalaman lampau agak mengajarku tentang pentingnya tengok album dulu before hire photographer... Padahal en abang dah cakap banyak kali dah..  Please all bride to be.. what you see in the website.. cantik2.. but actual album belum tentu korang puas hati.. so please go see the album.. go see few albums from few photographers if ade mase.. then baru decide.. at least 5, 6 albums then you will understand what you want.. sebab tu la photographer yang bagus.. confident.. wanted to see you with their album.. Unless korang nak gambar digital je cantik..

Pastu Sabtu ktorang pon pergi la ke Kajang jumpa en Rashdi sendiri sebab nak tengok album dia.. dan kami pon berpuas hati dengan hasil album - album yang dia tunjuk.. dan saya tanpa segan silu terus put the deposit.. Jadi... rasmila photographer untuk nikah dan sanding saya ialah Peveyhack... :) SAYA SANGAT BAHAGIA.. !!!

ok... the link..

Cuma en abang masih tak jumpa photographer sebab date tu dah kena book.. cian die.. tapi takpe la.. en Rashdi pon ade recommend a few people.. then boleh la try tanye.. hopefully semua ok!

Jadi.. tu lah aktiviti sabtu selain daripada melihat beg coach sambil berangan.. macam tak berapa nak mampu je.. :( nak jugak boleh... :D masih ade masa nak pikir nih... hehe..

Pastuh nak promote kedai ni..  bukan apa.. saje je.. suka makan kat sini.. semalam first time en abg bawak.. sedapnya la ikan bakar. Dulu pak cik ni jual dengan lori je.. now dah ada kedai.. kat kelana jaya.. nama kedai tuh FAND.. to me lagi sedap dari kg baru sebab basah2 sikit ikan dia... pastu kat istana tuh tak penah try tapi en abg kata.. kat sane lagi mahal... Jom tengok Picas.. "sorry phone cam je.. "

sedap tau sotong panggang.. air bandung tu pon sedap.. feel macam makan ABC je..

Sotong price start from RM5.00 sampai RM15.00 ikut saiz..

ikan pari en abang... :D ikan pari set die RM6.00 je.

Tapi sedap..

Lain - lain ade ayam, ikan keli.. ikan ape ntah lagi.. :D tapi puas hati tau! pergi la.. kalau teringin makan ikan bakar.. hehe.

Ok.. itu saje cerita semalam.. cerita hari ini ialah.. mengemas.. because dah bulan 5.. Umah kite takde bibik jadi self - service semua.. :D

iL SaBaTo SenZa DiveRtiMenTo..

Si.. ieri e' un sabato diverso ho passato insieme con il mio fidanzato, Iwan.. :)

Well, not much that we can do yesterday.. We just go out and eat at our normal place.. Sri TTDI, at TTDI Shah Alam. Iwan always love this place when it comes to lunch. I think it's quite famous among Shah Alam people.. Imagine that usually at 12.30 on Saturday, many people has already waiting for the food.. The choices of food is so great and most of it deliciously done... This is just a normal restaurant which harga pon OK.. but if looking for deliciously cooked meal.. I do recommend this place. They even got various bubur choices if you like bubur.. We usually eat Ikan Merah Masak Lemak.. :) I love ikan masak lemak and kari here.. And they got ulam - ulam as well.. and our choice usually jantung pisang cicah with air asam.. Quite a perfect Malay lunch tau.. :) If you go for juices.. the glass is bigger than if you go for teh o ais.. Usually we ordered for a teh o ais limau and a fruit juice. Ha.. and for the info, usually if you come like at 1.30 above.. you probably won't get exactly what you want.. Ikan Masak Lemak and Jantung Pisang usually gone or tinggal sikit je.. 

 

Suke nak tunjuk food..

________________________________________________________

Ok, then we just go to Subang Parade.. actually, we make appoinment with Dina Halim boutique just to see things and prices.. but the appoinment is at 5.30, jadi, we just spend the remainings time before the appoinment at Gloria Jeans. I think I really need a time to sit with Iwan, surfing and search for things that involves our wedding preparation. Kenape Gloria Jeans.. suke sebab bleh surf ngan laju.. before this penah surf dekat Starbuck carrefour but not that satisfying.. Coffee Bean pnuh plak smalam.. After all.. I loves iced blended.. so, getting both things rase cam besh je :D So we viewed some photographers.. and Iwan short list one or two yang die suke from what we have seen.. But, he thinks that he should survey further at PWTC nanti.. (sedih sbb sy kne kursus pulak )

Then we go to Dina Halim boutique.. tapi ownernya tak ada.. sbb anak dia sakit. Xpela.. tengok ada orang try baju kelabu pink.. cantiknya :) Actually, saya sangat suka pelamin dome Dina Halim.. and they told me that pelamin tuh boleh buat for 3 panel.. They make their rangka pelamin themselves tau.. so it's kind of special pelamin yang different from others.. So the price pon equal to that la.. They use bunga artificial, tapi cantik sangat macam fresh flower.. :) Well, I was told that they will come out dengan pelamin yang lebih menarik at PWTC jadi.. siapa yang interested should really go and see.. I believe it looks beautiful.. Sayang tak dapat nak tengok sendiri..

Honestly, if I really want that pelamin, which of course looks different, I need to squeeze my budget a bit. Well, to others maybe not that expensive.. so I'm in further discussion with Iwan.. Well, he as a guy yang lebih realistic dari me, a girl that is so fairy tales like, day-dreaming.. cakap, something like.. (rephrase ok) 'honey, I know you can have that if you want.. but, we'll have other things as well after the wedding.. and you still can get something pretty with budget reduce.." ok, I know I love fresh flower.. and that is additional cost.. and I have to select other design yang cheaper if I still want it to be fresh flower. And, Imagine that the extra 1k or 2k been converted to 

  

Honeymoon Package

 

adds on to kitchen cabinet

 Jahat sungguh En Abg compare it like that.. :(

Well, I know that we have to be realistic sometimes.. wedding isn't an easy things.. and it involves money.. unless you're a rich person yang don't mind spending 100k pon for the wedding, then maybe, it's ok to have everything cantik and expensive.. Prioritize bagi saya, sebagai orang kebanyakan ini quite susah sebenarnye.. Everyone pon nak their wedding become sangat cantik.. kan.. Me too.. I'm still don't know if my wedding boleh jadi cantik. And I admit that there are stress in between things..

I'm kind of kagum bila people that can make their wedding simple and sweet, a happy moments for themselves and family that when they look back, they don't regret a thing.. Nice right..  tak perlu something yang lebih2 sangat.. Imagine an english wedding.. a backyard one.. 

 

Saya suka paper lantern

 

simple celebration

 

ideas.. 

Well cantik and simple.. which makes me think yang for overall beautiful wedding, simple thing can make a difference.. like lanterns.. and beautiful fresh flower on the table..  sarung kerusi and ribbons.. boleh jadi cantik kan.. I know that nak DIY memang not everyone boleh.. but get help is also important.. so the stress can be shared..

I talk to Rainie yesterday.. and she told me that we can go out together and search for pretty flowers to do decos for my hantaran.. like last time, on my engegement, my sirih junjung is done by her.

Rainie's touch on Sireh Junjung

She's delighted to help.. and of course I'm going to treat her as exchange.. :)  So we can make hantaran together.. I really want to learn this art.. then I thought of making the centerpiece for guest table.. maybe not so many flowers.. just to make the table look pretty. But it's still in planning.. usually centerpiece is important during english wedding.. did you see the white red black wedding I posted before.. they use roses and covered chairs.. in a simple wedding but it looks good.

 

simple 4 flowers centrepiece

 

pretty options..

 

variety of style

 

Roses!

I think IKEA can provide me with this kind of vases and candles, right..  and I can always use the vases for house decos later.. but, I still look for cheaper option of vases.. :) Well, still look out for ideas..

So, to bride to be yang worried just like me.. things like will my wedding looks pretty with my not so much budget.. I think the answer is yes.. every wedding is beautiful.. because it's yours and you have to feel happy bout it.. after all, the important thing is just celebrate the happiness of you n your partner. It's a start.. and we should feel happy about it.. :)

Wish Me Luck!

My Saturday @ Pameran Pengantin Alamanda Putrajaya

Yesterday got chance to visit a wedding exhibition at Alamanda Putrajaya.. Since next 2 weeks I won't manage to go to Pameran Pengantin @ PWTC.. I thought of seeing what some boutique could offer at wedding exhibition. So here some views of the exhibition..

Area tak besar but quite some vendors boleh join kan..

Some of the vendors yang ada include Weddings Gallore, Avicenna Studio, Creative Elements, Butik Leezsha, and Red Hut photography.

 

This booth from Weddings Gallore..

Nice kan pelamin nih.. die guna fresh flower..

Nih.. model butik leezsha getting ready..

 

Pelamin from Creative Elements.. 

sgt nice.. Dress from ..Leezsha.

Got contrast right.. white and grey.

This one pretty in white and red

Cream can be interesting too..

Apa yang saya dapat... hehe.. dapat tengok. I personally think weddings gallore punya pelamin looks nice. And, they told me that the price will increase.. since they'll have boutique soon.. so, to those yang prefer weddings galore, memang berbaloi la. Leezsha  punya baju is quite nice too.. it looks like pretty baju done in bandung.. with detail at the back as well.. Creative elements is fabulous.. I think all people know that.. it just, i preffer english looks than java punye style. Price pon like designer price la jugak.. hehe.. I think I want to cut down the budget for that.. :) I got to know Avicenna punya package but my dear Iwan says he still wants to survey among the not so famous one (other than clicks couture yg memang well - known) with quite ok punya quality and cheaper.. whatever dear.. I trust your judgement. The good thing is.. I come across cute wedding card yg simple design but nice and cost less than RM1.00.. It's chic-look design.. and we're thinking about it..

Kira ok la kan.. to me, wedding exhibition nih agak save time la to me.. ye la.. it's easier than travel one boutique to another. Plus, you can see the trend offered by vendors as well..

Because this entry about my saturday so..  nak story la yang actually after that we go out jalan2 and finally makan malam kat ani sup utara.. Actually, I'm quite fond of idea of certain people that manage to write about where to eat this and that.. I love food.. so I thought of insert something about food in my blog as well.. just to add flavours.. :) So, why ani sup utara.. sebab cepat.. order and things sampai depan mata.. but to me, perfect soup usually from fresh meat punya soup.. especially during hari raya korban... but, remember, it contains fat as well.. so, control is essential!

 

Saje nak post gambar en abg yg tengah tengok menu

Well, dah sampai dah soup... 

 

air bandung memang sangat  menggoda.. :)

Then.. punya la jam kat sek 7 tuh.. weird la rasanya.. jam macam pagi isnin plak. Then only I know, ada fireworks show kat i-city.. Tengok dari jauh je.. and it looks beautiful still.. :) Sy sgt suka fireworks.. Ok.. nak masuk next entry..

HaPpY BiRtHday Dear..

Yesterday is my darling's birthday.. :) I'm so happy to manage to celebrate with him.. Last year, I just wish him trough phone since I was in Italy.. so I've missed his last year's birthday..  and I just got him a Bialetti's small coffee maker.. ( Luv sales in Italy) If you want to go shopping in Italy.. go on sales seasons.. It's crazy with Zara's stuff price like 30+ in RM..  6 euros.. not to mention the various choice.. even cheap bag in market also got some style. Seb baik I haven't working yet.. so I can't stock up my clothes..

Actually, I didn't plan to go out yesterday.. thought that I just postphone this occasion since my mom said she wants to go back to kampung yesterday.. Now she's changing her plans and she wants to go back today. Hurray.. I can celebrate my darling's birthday on time... ( sadly, I didn't bring my camera.. ) Since it just an ordinary day, I promise Iwan to go makan - makan sea food. Iwan's favorite is actually Chiang Mai.. but I want to try some new place that's cheaper.. So we went to the Port.. and, it's not that famous Muara Ikan Bakar at Tanjung Harapan, ok.. It has nothing to do with the laut.. :D

We went to.. Di Selat.. It's not so famous.. I know.. but my officemates keep promoting me that this place despite the environment which is in the middle of the road, the food are delicious and cheap. We talking about ikan besar, ketam n udang besar here.. not the ordinary small2 seafood thing.. So we had medium size Jenahak 3 rasa.. which is actually can be eaten by 3 or 4 person.. tapi habis jugak.. it's our favourite.. and, we have 2 pieces of ketam yg big size.. masak cili ( manis sangat rase isi die), then udang goreng tepung.. 10 ekor je.. ( takut tak muat perut nak makan smue).. then, we had tomyam with like 6 pieces udang and 2 ekor sotong yg sedang2 je.. Air bebiase.. tea o ngan jus durian belanda.. and the price is... RM106 je.. of course that jenahak cost the big portion..  To my point of view.. I think it's cheaper than Muara and it taste better la to me..  Iwan is quite fussy about food taste.. so he can agree with this.. quite ok la..

Next time if I go to this place again.. I'll take some pics.. anyone yg interested leh tanye the location.. it's between north porth n west port..
