MATTA n bridal fair vs induction weeks

Waa.. so sad when my wishes.. just left as wishes.. Juz like when u want to own a Toyota wish and end up just wishing.. pe la aku mengarut ni kan.. :D Well actually, I've been planning like a month to really go to this event with my buah hati, Iwan dearest..  plus, Ijan also wants to meet me there.. really want to try to take a look at honeymoon package. Plus, I really want to go to bridal fair so that I can view certain things and decide what I really want for my wedding. 

Now, all those plan should be gone with the wind.. I've got an offer letter to go to induction. Since it will surely, involve my confirmation to my current position.. I should just say, yes, I will go. But, it's kind of cruel that it will be done during school holidays that people have planned this and that.. :( Whatever.. I just go with the flow..

So, it means.. I have to cancel my trip to MATTA and bridal fair that is as well important to me :( Iwan  probably will still go to just look around. But I know he's not always in the mood if he has to do it alone.. it will not be that fun as when we're doing it together. Well, well.. let's hope we manage to find some good things for our wedding..

Flu and Talks..

I'm not making any big progress in my wedding planning this week.. Saturday i Spent making my previous entry. Iwan is away in Kelantan doing some snaps in photography camp at kampung orang asli.. well, I only go to Carrefour on Saturday with my family.. the new one in Bukit Rimau.. But, the other shop still not open yet.. and, even though it's common to me to visit construction site.. I did hate the cements smell for new building.. Sorry, I've got sinus problems that makes me feel bad.. :(

Little Zafran make a visit to my house with his mom.. I love it when he's around.. There's some fireworks outside that can be seen from my house.. (chinese new year things) I let him see that and he's so happy.. he keep saying.. "Pom! Die meletop.. besar.. besar lampu die" hehe.. what can I say for a 2 years old boy :D So, saturday night playing with Zafran while watching Man-U being defeated by Everton.. And think about my fantasy football marks will go down with Rooney set as captain :(

I spend lots of time going online too.. and chat up with friends. Ijan wants to see me at Matta Fair.. which I think good. :) I haven't seen all my friends for quite sometimes.. they are all busy. It's common if you work with consultants and contractors.. ( the economics driven factor :p )

Yesterday my boss is around for half day.. during lunch I follow Kak CT to Alam Central and she's promoting me this pretty batik shop. I haven't yet have a kain krip (how to spell) batik.. and I don't have many of them too.. So, I bought a pink one and tempah terus at that butik.. all in RM270. Why tempah at that butik? simply because.. they design their own corak.. and the tailor simply know how to put the pattern as it should looks like.. the one yg ready made really made me fall.. :D I'll post the pic when it's done! And I go out with Iwan and enjoying Mcflurry Oreo even though I start to feel sick :D

Ok.. what's the relationship with the topics? hehe.. niente? Mestila ade.. today, I thought of just sitting in office doing my job.. with the flu.. I don't feel like going anywhere.. but Kak CT suddenly told me that I have to take her place going to this Risk Management Talk.. :( I'm not in the mood of listening with the handkerchif and flu and people from the other office that I don't really close to.. But, I just go. And listen. And learn.. which is good.. :)  Getting prepared for next risk management for Audit..

 Ayu and Raja..  My groupmate




 
Me.. being silly next to Kak Shikin





The guys yg kusyuk with discussion..


So, what I'm thinking.. It's good for project manager.. so Plz learn for better project management..


Then.. in office I grab 3 new tudung from Kak CT.. she bought them from Kelantan...coming home, Kak Dayang call me from Indonesia.. telling me the good news that she manage to find the color that I want even though it's bit difficult :D Yay! I still owe her some measurement..  Going to get them tonite..Then, I log in to my blog and check that Kak Dina from Dina Halim boutique has put some comments on my entry.. Luv It! Wish me Luck then.. :D

KENAPA SI DIA PILIHAN HATI SAYA...

Siapa yang tak suka if ada prince charming yang sanggup menunggu bertahun - tahun lamanya dengan sabar sebelum dapat memiliki cinderella nya. Saya hanya budak perempuan biasa yang comot waktu Iwan bertemu dengan saya. Baru berusia 16 tahun, terlalu muda sebenarnya untuk memahami cinta. Dan Iwan yang tua 7 tahun daripada saya sudah cukup dewasa, sudah bercampur dengan dunia luar.. Sepatutnya, dia boleh memilih yang lain jika dia mahu. Boleh cepat - cepat membina istana cinta dari menunggu saya yang masih dengan angan- angan 'sweet 16'. Bila difikirkan, apa lagi yang ingin dia tunggu.. dia sudah bekerja dan berkereta.. saya SPM pun belum ada. Arah tujuan hidup pun belum pasti. 

We meet through the net'. Siapa kata berkenalan di dunia siber tak boleh bertahan lama. Semua boleh jadi bila ikhlas. Ikhlas itu sangat penting.. dan dia sangat ikhlas berkawan dengan saya. Permulaannya kami umpama sahabat, dia tidak putus - putus memberi kata semangat.. saya harus belajar bersungguh - sungguh. Dia tidak pernah mengajak saya bercinta waktu itu kerana dia tidak mahu pelajaran saya terganggu tetapi tidak pernah jemu mengenali saya. Saya juga sama.. saya perlu cemerlang dalam SPM. Jadi, kami menjadi sahabat baik.. walaupun jarang sekali saya berjumpa dengannya, hanya berbual di telefon. Yela.. saya bersekolah di sekolah asrama..  sebulan sekali sahaja pulang bertemu keluarga. Bertemu kawan - kawan hanya pada cuti semester.

Dan semuanya berjalan baik.. saya berjaya ke matrikulasi selepas SPM, jauh di Pulau Pinang.. jauh dari keluarga di Shah Alam, dan jauh dari Iwan di Petaling Jaya. Hanya telefon sering menjadi penghubung kami. Sekali sekala saya pulang, Iwan mesti menanti saya di Pudu Raya, menghantar saya pulang dengan selamat ke rumah keluarga. Bila umur saya 18 tahun, kami fikir kami sama - sama bersedia. Walaupun seorang di hulu, seorang di hilir.. kami nekad. Jadi kami bersetuju mengikat janji.. Janji yang kami sama - sama akan melangkah ke jinjang pelamin satu hari nanti. Janji yang kami akan hidup bersama. Dan dengan janji ini, kami sama - sama mengaharap cinta kami direstui Illahi. Walaupun kami sedar.. perjalanan masih jauh.. macam - macam dugaan pasti tiba.

Nasib kami baik, saya melanjutkan pelajaran di UiTM Shah Alam. Seronok rasanya buah hati di depan mata setelah hampir setahun berjauhan. Kami jadi semakin akrab. Setiap minggu boleh berjumpa. Iwan jadi sahabat saya yang paling baik. Dia sangat mengambil berat.. dan saya sangat selesa melalui zaman remaja saya dengan dia ada di sisi saya. Rasa sangat terbimbing bila ada seorang yang lebih dewasa, yang sangat menyayangi saya, membantu saya mengharungi cabaran hidup sebagai remaja di kota yang besar.

Ada yang bertanya, tidak susahkah mempertahankan hubungan kami yang telah berusia 7 tahun lebih kini.. Memang banyak cabarannya. bayangkan dunia seorang gadis, ada rakan - rakan sekeliling yang bertukar kekasih bila bertukar lokasi.. rakan - rakan saya ada yang bercinta di bangku sekolah.. masuk ke matrikulasi bertukar pasangan dan iyela.. matrikulasi setahun cuma, ke universiti seorang di Johor, seorang di Kuala Lumpur. Nak jadi Jurutera atau Peguam, 4 tahun lamanya. Bayangkan 4 tahun itu berjauhan, ramai yang kecundang, bertukar pasangan lagi. Saya beruntung, Iwan di depan mata selalu.. Dia sentiasa yakinkan saya dengan sikapnya.. saya betul - betul percaya dia yang terbaik untuk saya. Tanpa menoleh kanan  kiri pada karenah rakan - rakan yang lain, saya meneruskan langkah saya.

Dugaan itu tidak berhenti begitu sahaja, saya seperti yang lain punya impian. Ingin mempunyai pengalaman dalam banyak benda. Saya dapat tahu ada peluang untuk ke negeri artistik dan romantis, Itali. Saya ingin mencuba mendapatkan biasiswa itu. Saya tidak mahu pergi sekejap dan tidak pandai berbahasa. Jadi, saya memohon untuk pergi selama setahun. Apa Iwan kata? Dia akan rindukan saya.. dia memang mahu saya cepat bekerja sebab Mama dan Abah mahu saya bekerja tetap sebelum berkahwin. Dia ingin mengahwini saya. Tapi dia tahu itu impian saya.. dan dia lepaskan saya pergi. Mungkin, Tuhan lebih mengerti.. permohonan saya diluluskan untuk 4 bulan sahaja. Jadi, kami berpisah lagi selama 3 bulan lebih. 

Saya pulang awal sedikit dari tarikh sepatutnya sebab saya perlu pergi temuduga kerja. Saya sebenarnya tak bersedia. Berita itu saya terima dengan sangat lewat. Saya cuma ada 4 hari untuk selesaikan semuanya di Itali. Saya jadi buntu.. tapi Iwan tetap yakinkan saya. Dia kata, saya berpeluang untuk dapat jawatan ini.. jawatan yang baik dan tetap. Nanti saya tidak perlu mencari yang lain.. dan saya tahu, jika saya dapat, saya boleh mula merancang perkahwinan kami.. Dan Iwan tidak silap, saya berjaya.. Terima kasih sayang sebab yakinkan saya.

Bagaimana jika anda seorang lelaki seperti dia, ingin meyakinkan seorang gadis yang baru nak dewasa, masih mempelajari erti hidup.. yang anda terbaik untuknya? Iwan tidak pernah mengongkong saya.. dia menyayangi saya dan memberi ruang untuk saya mencapai impian saya.. seperti lagu 'Butterfly' nyanyian Mariah Carey..


ooh ooh
When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imagined I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open up my hands and watch you rise

Spread you wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly (Oooh)
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be, so spread your wings and fly
Butterfly



Dan dia selalu kata..

"Saya cuma ada awak dalam hati saya... dan itu tidak akan berubah selama - lamanya"

dan sekarang saya ingin jawab..
Iya, sayang.. saya tahu.. dan saya tidak pernah ragu - ragu untuk itu.
Terima kasih kerana menjaga saya.. dan terus ingin menjaga saya.
Semoga dengan rahmat-Nya, kita bahagia dunia akhirat bersama..
Amin..

MAJLIS IMPIAN SAYA..
Saya mengimpikan sebuah majlis perkahwinan yang simple, sweet in grey, silver with a bit pink touch. Sesuatu seperti taman fairy tale tetapi tidak terlalu sarat. dan rakan - rakan serta keluarga juga berasa selesa dan dapat bertemu, bersembang lama setelah sekian lama tidak bertemu. My wedding is not just about me, him and our love.. it's also about our family blessings and our friends happiness.. All in all.. a joyous day.

HUBUNGAN KAMI BERUSIA..
7 tahun 6 bulan

Baju Purple..

Iwan first wanted me to just rent wedding dress for Majlis Bertandang.. so I never thought about what kind of purple will suit me and Iwan.. he doesn't like soft shade.. especially the pink close like.. Gosh.. so uneasy for me.. since I always see something pinkish as beautiful.. :) Then he don't want white.. so I have to cancel my 1st color combination..Then now he's away that I can't even really discuss about whatever color that he likes.. but he did suggest me one that I'm still thinking bout.. So here, I present few shades of Purple.. that probably be what I like..



see that this color wheel present so many purple shades
(violet) the close to pink.. close to blue.. and the equal purple..




This is the various name.. (i'm not sure if this true)




This is the combination that I like..
(purple and red purple).
Drawing is owner's courtesy.. of course!



This is a nice purple combination...
something like red purple with grey - like purple tones
But I got grey as my other baju.. so trying to propose the other one


So, this is the purple that Iwan agree with me..
Kak Dayang.. any comments?
The inside layer is something  red like purple tones
The outside one will be the actual purple tone..



So, this is the color of shantung that I think will fit the abovelike color





So, the color of lace as patching on top of chiffon or net like the above pic..


So, that's my rough idea.. I know it looks bit bright but I think It's quite ok.. coz I've seen once, an actual one like this.. HOPE it goes good..






I Choose.. Butik Andaman Dayang

Ok.. I know.. it's weird sometimes when it comes to decision.. I've survey several contemporary designer.. but I'm not planning to splurge all k's that I have just to have a pretty baju.. so, if I could save some portion that I have.. I'm more than happy to do it.. I know I'm just an ordinary girl. Not some famous person.. So I'm looking for something which value for money..

Like in my previous entry, I've told the story that I suddenly feel like browsing some dress at this boutique.. so, I happen to stumble on these two design that I kind of like it.. ok, let's view the dress I'm talking about..



 I like this grey and the next one, pink cream dress..
It's indonesian design.





Ok, the look from the back.. they even got details for the back 
tak macam kat sini.. tak pentingkan sangat blakang..



Lower parts detail.. 



I'm copying the cutting of this dress.. 
but with of the grey lace yang lagi satu

I think the details for chest part nih full and interesting
then, bahagian leher is kemas as well..


Maybe it's not the type yg you all suke.. but I've been in love with Linda Rahim design.. but, to copy usually here.. you can't get manik as much as if you did the dress in Indonesia.. so, I manage to grab Kak Dayang, the owner at the time she's about to go to Jakarta.. and she's willingly let me buat baju dengan dia with the price of.. jeng - jeng - jeng.. ask me via e- mail.. I let you know.. But.. it's better for people live in area teluk intan, kampar, tapah.. maybe paling jauh pon.. Ipoh.. I don't know.. because this boutique have 2 branch Kampar and  Kg Gajah kot.. In Perak.. 

I got to know pon sebab my engagement last time.. with budget yg sikit and baju pon blasah je.. but I got pretty baju from this boutique jugak.. sewa for price like.. RM170 je untuk perempuan..

Time my engagement


full baju.. from top to toe :)
but that selendang is mine la..


If baju krim tadi dh ade.. mesti aku dh kebas.. ump.. I'm early few days..  So, few reason why I choose this boutique to make my baju..

  • I love kebaya with beads detail n patch works..
  • The price is so affordable..
  • Kak Dayang is nice and easy to work with.. banyak kali die tepon me.. to discuss bout baju
  • I got my relatives working there too.. so senang nak contact.. hehe. ( but the price the same je coz she's not the owner)
So, let's pray that my baju will turn out good.. I do my baju bersanding and bertandang as well with her.. grey, silver n a bit pink beads for my side.. and dark purple with white for Iwan's side.. I'll still do my baju nikah with Unaisah.. hopefully.. since that one will be baju kurung moden..

The design I tend to copy are by http://www.prestigeinar.com
Something like...


 
for bersanding.. but that kain will be different


 
this one for bertandang..

Ok.. wish me luck with all the baju.. :D
