291111: mission implemented (survey)

every weekend I have a mission to accomplish

ya we just can spend time together on weekend only

and this weekend our mission is 

finding suitable color for my engagement and akad nikah attire

still pening-pening lalat which colours should i choose

the darker one or lighter one 

lastly i ask the sales girl to give me sample of both colours

do not hesitate ya to ask for the sample

you have authority to choose the best

dont let them push you until you make a wrong decision

to play safe

dont bring large amount of money 

if you just want to make a survey

haha..

i have make up my mind

i choose dark brown for my engagement attire

and creamy for my akad nikah

next week we will fly to Mars

to give the color sample to his uncle

he will buy us the textile

cause as a designer he will get a special price 

so for budget b2b and g2b like us

surely we have to take this opportunity to cut our cost

hehe

you must be wondering

why dont we go there with his uncle?

kan?? kan??

coz the price will not be the same if we are there

(-,-")

241111: engagement attire (research)

last weekend we went to Mars

met my uncle and aunt to be

actually pak teh (his uncle) is a fashion designer

we met him to get ideas about my outfit for engagement and akad nikah

and also to know how many RM should we spend for this la

actually my family have tradition

giving kain for akad nikah ceremony as engagement's dowry

so we have to decide how long kain needed 

and type of kain

at first pak teh gave us a lecture about type of kain

showed me his design for tunang+nikah+kawen

explained design that i can choose

and how many kain needed for the design

then he interviewed me to know my rough plan for my engagement event

and also my plan for akad nikah attire

lastly we make a calculation

=)

after meeting him

i change my mind and came out with better idea for my outfit for both engagement and akad nikah 

yeaaaay!!!!

before this i want peach for my engagement outfit

but now i decided to choose this colour

the brown colour as Datin Nor Aliah Lee's dress in this cover magazine

before this i want to make simple baju kurung with pearl bead 

but now i want modern baju kurung with lace 

i want simple + modern baju kurung like this

and for tudung..no change...i want lacey tudung like picture below...

As a conclusion,

I need 3 types of kain:

1. chiffon (for engagement+akad nikah)

2. lace (engagement only)

3. lining (engagement only)

jom survey kain! =b

241111: Photographer

I'll go through an engagement event insyaALLAH only once in a life time

so I hope I could capture every single moment during the historic day

however.....

I have very limited budget to hire a professional photographer

who can give me pictures from different angle

plus extra cantekkss editing 

so......

the cheapest way to make sure i have at least a photo 

that can remind me about this special day is...

i will ask my best friend to be my photographer

ok la kan?

atleast i only have to spend money for printing

hahahahaha (gelak jahat)

wanna see her skill?

lets cuci mata bersama-sama

boleh la kan?

apa yang penting??

save budget!!!

=P

But my problem now.. 

She might not be here on the engagement day
coz she will be back to Aussie this coming January

so I need someone else to replace her..

any volunteer???
dslr will be provided

=)

231111 : the lord of the ring

I'm not a jewellery crazy

so we just go to goldsmith shop

and choose a pattern which look good around my finger

then ask him to make the design using 916 gold

trying few size of rings

lastly decided my ring size is 11

not so loose and not so fit

so so laaaa...=P

the goldsmith's wife said my size is a baby size

ada unsur hyperbola di situ (-.-")

but now I'm afraid when my friends told me last last nite 

that her friend cant wear her merisik ring anymore coz her finger size increase

err... jari pun boleh makin gemuk ya?

my future fiance have paid RM50 for the ring

the balance will be paid later

cant wait to have my own engagement ring

[mood:eager]

my engagement checklist

1. engagement outfit

2. ring (checked!)

3. hantaran 

4. kenduri

5. make up

6. photographer

7. invitation card

231111: engagement colour theme

searching....

the chosen 1 will be

yup!

pink+brown

the combination looking so canteks here

but a wrong combination of the tone of the colors 

could make it become so buruksss 

i have seen so many buruksss result before

I am worrrrrrying

but i'll take it as a challenge 

you can do it

insyaALLAH boleh!!!

221111: 1st step is an ENGAGEMENT

my 1st step to live in the earth with him is...
surely we need to prepare for an engagement
engagement for me is a verbal agreement
his family and mine approve our proposal to be a husband and wife
the event is not as big as wedding
but there are still lots of obstacles
for us the problems are MONEY and TIME


part time master students+working as research assistant are not easy
at this moment i have to prepare two research proposals
T,T
so.. I must simplify everything before my brain explode


I've prepared a checklist for my engagement event
although the date was not decide yet


my engagement checklist
1. engagement outfit
2. ring
3. hantaran
4. kenduri
5. make up
6. photographer
7. invitation card


will 'checked' it one by one in the next, next and next posts insyaALLAH~

221111 : launching

now we are busy preparing physically and mentally...

before being a hubby and wife...

and this blog will be my log book..

about my expedition to a new strange planet...
