this is love story, our story (hantaran)

Wee..I'm back.. Sorry for keep u guys waiting for the next entry. I'm short of nice photos so that's y agak malas sikit nak update.. Haha.. Anyways, let's layan the hantaran from me to Chiwonkey. Remember, this entry? Yes, I've surrendered. And one of the reason because of shorthanded. So, I pass the task to my friend, Nadia.
Well, since my reception at the garden, Nadia and her cousins who not only brilliant and talented, hehe..come out with this idea. Where they implemented 'garden' feels to the hantaran. Using daisies and chrysanthemums as main role, makes the hantaran look so sweet and gorgeous yet simple.

Here few shots frm my brother and Nadia flickr



the overall view of the hantaran





blue sejadah I bough from Ampang Point



An apple a day, will bring the doctor away.. Hehe.. Green apples look so appealing in photo kan?



I love my sirih junjung so much. Macam pokok bantut.. Hehe.. Me loike!



Who said u can only give one brand when come to grooming products. Be creative! Just mix and match and make sure the colors in the same shade or hue.



The baby blue Squier Jagmaster for him. :)

And not shown in the photos are the chocolates and cupcakes. Couldnt find the close-up pictures. I'll update if i got copies frm Fairuz Ismail okie.

p/s A little note about the site who offering the hantaran services. Er, u might glamor in these line or quiet establish but nevertheless, please treat people with respect. Although, they might not meet your quotation, they still human. So common, please reply whenever it is although u want to reject their quotation. Be nice coz life's is like a wheel. Sometimes, u up n sometimes u down. Okie? Peace..

this is love story, our story (part one)

As promised, this is our wedding story..
Before I start, haih sometimes I can be so clumsy and I've deleted pictures from my DSLR before save it to laptop. Dush..dush.. So, i try to curik some frm my brother and Fairuz Ismail..

1) Berinai
Since my wedding a bit of modern, I don't mind to inject bit of tradition or adat here and there. So I chose to do henna or 'berinai'. At first I was thinking to just do it at any store but Chiwonkey's friend offered me her services and of coz I'm more than happy when she wanna do it for free (but we gave her token la, of coz)Since this is the first time I ever wore inai (oh i hate nail coloring ya'all), so I just said yes when she asked me to tried out black henna on top of normal henna. But seriously, they turn out bit disaster yea kawan-kawan.. hahaha.. So, I advice, if u guys wanna do it, normal henna will do. Jangan lah gatal sangat nak mencuba sesuatu yang baru. But surprisingly, it turn out nice at photo tho'.. hek



2) Mini pelamin
Since we don have pelamin at 'taman', we choose to have one at house during nikah. When discussed with Abang Jak from Flora Etc, we requested a very simple yet classy pelamin. We don't fancy pelamin that will overwhelm us.. ahaha and oh we choose pink and white as nikah theme since we only have one reception. At first we wanna it to be blue and pink but we cant find any 'bunga pahar' that suite these color thus we surrender to pink. At lest we have variety in theme. Although, I don really fancy pink.. :P





3) Favors and bunga pahar
I bought boxes from Ole-ole manis for nikah and as well as for reception. For nikah, we opt this creamy box and insert fruit cake in. And I bought this creamy cystal bunga pahar at Semua House KL. If I'm not mistaken it's less than RM 2 per stick.





4) Make-up,dresses and hand bouquet
We requested a simple yet sweet baju kurung and baju melayu for our nikah. For me, nikah is a very holy moment thus, a decent dresses will do. Syaiful Bahrim's did a good job on these. And for make-up I choose more pinky and natural base. Unfortunely, Chomel still go for shading which I don really like it but most people said I look nice.. I donno, for me shading is so last season..And for hand bouquet at first I though I wanna do by myself but Abang Jak insist to do it for me.. So, saya menerima saja dengan hati yang terbuka..hehe



5) Bilik Pengantin
Haih, I cant find any pictures that really shown our room. Remember I've deleted my pictures!! :P So, I manage to steal it from my bestie, Lucy the Travelzilla.. hehe. I done all the deco by myself from painting to decoration. And so sayang I cant show u guys my artistic work at the wall. Nevermind.. Next time if rajin I just snap a picture for u guys okey..



So, end of part one.. Will continue the rest later. And I ended this entry with dua orang pengantin yang lapar dan tak kisah orang disekelilingnya.. hehe :P

Just enjoy the show..

Let's talk about grooming before the wedding shall we?..

1) This is very important thing to do before you get married. Beside facial, other things like Brazilian (for women) or Boyzilian (for men), Armpit & Leg Wax are very important. Of coz u don want to be hairy during your day right. :P
Talking about Brazilian Wax, I started doing it since 3 years back after a free trial at Strips, Bangsar. I know, you guys must think I'm crazy but guys.. it's not as bad as what you've seen in American Next Top Model or any other reality~blondie~show. Yeah, it might hurt a bit (beauty is pain honey :P ) but the result, a very clean down part and u will feel like a baby once again :)

Call 03-22836094 (Strip Bangsar) for appointment. They do have other outlet at The Curve and Sunway Pyramid too.

2) Finally I manage to do my spa and I've done it 2 days before nikah. As a writer, I've done a lot of free trial spa and finally I chose Khareyana Spa at PJ. Oh I love this spa so much. Beside the reasonable price, u will fall in love with the setting ala-ala Bali and most importantly, u will done your shower, stem bath, massage and herbal bath in one room. Easy and breezy :)

I got this 'malas' fever already.. So lazy to keep this blog update.. :P sorry guys.. I was so busy last weekend coz parents in law came to KL and we had kenduri for Chiwonkey's Aunt & Uncle (they're gonna perform Haj this Thursday)and I was busying try out my new Bass (ehem, got present from my brother..heh)Not to forget we're gonna be in JB next week for 'sambut menantu kenduri'. So I have to settle up my job this week as my dateline is on 24th November.. Haih.. just imagine how busy I am. If only I could stop the clock.. heh

Ok, I got so many questions about the 'garden wedding' so ladies and gentlemen read this carefully yea :P

Q: Who should I contact for the garden and etc?..
A: Do u guys know that most of the 'taman' in KL is under DBKL (ok, this is for KLster people only k). So, u should heading to Lake Garden where u can find their office. They have listed so many 'taman' and you can actually pick and chose. Contact this person, En.Kassim 019-2279273 for further information. Please take note that he is 'some old grumpy man'. Please be patient and if can, let the bride do the talking (if u got what i mean *wink*)

Q: How much is the rental for the 'taman'
A: RM200. Believe in or not. :P . All you have to do is bring your own set up, caterer and etc. Yes, this including electricity and they do have public toilet :)

Q: Can we do wedding at night?
A: Yes dear. You can choose whenever or whatever time you want. When you meet En.Kassim he'll ask u what time and date would you prefer. And remember this post? They did it during night too. :)

Hope I answer all your Qs well.. fuh :P If you have further Qs, do let me know yea.. I promise to update about the nikah and garden wedding soon.. Tungguuuuuu~~

Jacky
