The Interventions

Hi all..

It's been more than 2 months since we've updated our blog. Really couldn't get our lazy bums to write. We practically had not much time to write. And here I am, stealing time after work to update this oh-sangat-kahsihan blog.

A lot of things that has happened. These are the few that I could think of...

1. THE Mom intervention
   
   Alright.. Initially, I was quite upset about this having to follow mom's orders stuff. Because it's MY wedding and I don't like people bossing me around. So ceritanya... Since I told Mak about Ministry of Moment (MOM) [read this post], Mak asked us to pull out from having MOM cover our both events (solemnization and reception). I was like..... WHAT??!! And she also said I should rent out my reception baju. And I was like......
   
   WUUUHHHAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT??!!
   Tak nak! TAK NAK! TAAAAAAKKKKK NAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!
   (Well of course I didn't yell those words at her, or else there will be some domestic violence going on. Gimik je. Gimik...)
   
   But when we reviewed our initial plans, we realized that we actually wanted a simple wedding. Heck, we both ingatkan nak buat Nikah je, and to hell with the reception! What we care about is only to HALAL-ize this relationship. Mak really reminded us about that without even trying.
   
   So we straightened ourselves up and pulled out from Lynda and MOM (we decided to stick with them for nikah) with heavy... HEAVY... hearts.
   
   Mothers.. Can't live with them, can't live without them.. Haha..
   



2. The SHOCKING news regarding the Mom-In-Law-To-Be
   
   Not long after Mak's intervention, I received terrible news from Raziku. He said his mom is sick with Miller Fisher disease. Its an autoimmune that attacks the nervous system. But soon after that, doctors diagnosed her with minor stroke because her body is partly paralyzed. Sorry I can't describe her sickness much because I don't know much about medicine..
   
   But anyway, kesian kan? Thank God my Razi is strong.. I'm so amazed by you, hunny.. :')
   
   Friends, please pray that my future mother-in-law gets better and better... I want her to be there at least during solemnization. Because that would be one of the most important moments of his son's life!
   
   
   
3. The solemnization of Brother-In-Law-To-Be
   
   Razi's elder brother got married on 1st January! :) We'll have a triple wedding reception in end of July at Razi's house (probably).
   
   
   
4. The change of Vendors
   
   Since unfortunate but fortunate event 1 happened, we have a change of wedding vendors.

   *speechless!* And the wings! Urghhh!! They are just perfect!
   And guess what, I found those custom made on the net! Take a look:

   Just magnificent...
   
   
   But well... Later on my Mak basuh Razi and I sampai we thought it's simply IMPOSSIBLE to be done, so we changed the theme to.... *drum roll please*
   
   
   
   
   It's a surprise!
   
   
   
   Wait for it!

Feelings that I never want to Feel again

Okay, this entry probably has nothing to do with our wedding... but I'm gonna write it anyway.

At midnight, I'll be going to a place far far away from my robot misai jawaku. Yes, this is for the first time I'll be away from him since we're officially in love, and hopefully it will the last.

(Credit)

It feels so awful inside. I need a hug. :(

Oh how I wish we're already married (+ have tons of money, of course..) and take him with me. Dahla I'm going to Europe, which at this time of the year is in sub-zero temperature.. With no one to warm me up during the extremely cold nights.

By the way, have you read the news about how bad Europe is right now? Well, thankfully the Netherlands is not so bad... I hope.

Thank Allah that the duration of the training is reduced from 2 weeks to 1.

Friends,

Please pray for my safety going there, when I'm already there and when I head back home (literally and home = Razi).

E-Day Photos and New Layout (Wooohooo!)

Sorry for the late update, been busy with work. :)

As promised (a long... LONG time ago), here are our engagement pictures. It was just a small ceremony. Bak kata my office colleague: "Sempoi je your engagement." Hehe..

The beautiful purple, pink and white themed dowries from Razi's side:

Oh my, oh my! Cantik kan? Credits to Pak Andam and sister.

And... From my side:

Two heads are better than one! My eldest sister and I came up with a few "crazy" ideas ("crazy" because at first Mak doesn't approve of them), which are:

1. I figured placing some pebble stones around the miniature picket fences would be just right... Considering it looked quite empty without them at first.
   
2. Kakakku found a purdy luggage bag (in a home deco store at Amcorp Mall) while looking for English related things. So I decided to put Razi's Baju Melayu (the one he'll be wearing during our solemnization) inside the luggage bag (sendal beg tu dengan 3 satay sticks wrapped with 2 different ribbons kasi nampak cun sikit).
3. For the sireh junjung, I came up with the idea of having a candle in a wired birdcage (that looks more like a gazebo) hanging beside the sireh junjung bouquet. We couldn't find a mini hook-stand-thingy (we searched high and low for it tau.. Penat je..), in the end, my handy Ayah decided to bend some wires he found around the house, spray some white paint on it and VOILA! Jadilah hanging wired gazebo! Haha... Cantik sampai Encik Photographer tangkap gambar benda tu je, bukan nak tangkap angle yang menampakkan sireh junjung yang sister sulungku penat-penat gubah! Haha, maaflah ye Kak oi...
4. Since decoupage boxes are hard to find (even if we found it, it must be expensive) plus Mak and sister has some background in decoupaging, I guess it's best to D-I-Y the box ourselves. We placed Razi's NB shoes in them! (Sorry, no photos of the DIY decoupage box... He was supposed to bring his assistant along but ada hal la pulak. So maybe he was rushing, tak sempat tangkap gambar hantaran betul-betul...)
   
   
   
5. Remember Sweetie Yummy Cupcake? Well, the owner called my sister a week prior to the E-Day and told her that she's having Dengue so she probably couldn't recover in time to make the cupcakes. Dugaan... *sebut macam cara Pendekar Bujang Lapok sebut ok!* The next cupcake supplier I could think of was my other sister's friend's sister. She makes the best, I repeat, THE BEST red velvet cupcakes ever! (Tapi makan satu je dah muak, takmau makan lagi haha... Bukan tak sedap... Actually it's very VERY rich.) Kakakku dengan bersungguh-sungguh balut kotak cupcakes yang putih, kosong lagi BURUK itu dengan flowery wrapping paper so that it would fit the theme. Hehe..
   

Em... I guess that's all.

See you later in December..


P/S: I JUST LOVE THE NEW LAYOUT.

It's SO ... Clean. :)
