theBRIDEZILLA

Opening of my post jek I think you all know what I am going through now. I can be one bridezilla if things doesn't meant on my way. Lately, I'm having migraine and under pressure due to my wedding event. But demi cinta untuk mamat yang sorang tu I rela continue doing my research on wedding again. I have to juggle with work, wedding preparations and my family. Moreover, I was given a task to handle events at work. So I try my best to spend wise at work and with wedding preparations.

Recently what happened to me? I tell you all jangan terkejut beruk la yer. Little boy of mine a.k.a husband to be is going mad and tell my parents that he wants to marry me early next year. Omg! I dekat sebelah tengah tgk tv terkejut giler. Inside my head da keep playing questions. Ape ke hal orang tua nik, tetiba nak kahwin siang. We agreed to get married on August 2015. So, I bombarded him with my 1001 questions la kan. Easy peesy jek ni orang tua jawab, "Sebab I takut dapat rumah siang. I tak nak kelam kabut nk nikah dengan you." Our new house is the MAIN punca why he wants to marry me early. Hmm, I don't know if I should be happy or no. Dalam hati detak detik gembira but at the same time stress. We secured everything you know! Dates also has been set, out of the blue moon he do like that. 

He meant well, I know. Because our house is progressing and we're afraid too we might get key before we get married. And I know too, that my mamat gonna' be very very unhappy if we have to delay our collecting of keys with HDB. So what I am stress now? Asking all my vendors if they can bring forward our wedding event dates tak. So far only few vendors get back to me. If we really can't get hold all vendors. We've decided to do our simple solemnization first. Nikah dulu sanding kemudian la nampaknya. The sedih part is, my mamat will be going for his reservist after a week of our nikah. Oh yes! The date will no be out yet, still pending lor.

My lovelies Bride-To-Be,

Can all of you give me the best place to held my solemnization only? Which is the vendor that can do mini dais for solemnization. As I don't think my decor vendor can do it. Because they also outsource their pelamin which I think is no good la. Where can I get food catering? Cater just a normal makan nikah includes buffet set all. Please help me! 

Amek kau! Da macam tulis surat cinta dekat my lovelies BTB eh. Whatever it is, I would like to say thank you in advance if anyone so kind enough to help me. I just need an opinion from you ladies.

Till here, xoxo

Hello 2014!

Hi people!

I'm back on my blogging world. It takes time for me to update my blog. Work been sucha' bitch sometimes, but I have to endure with the things happen surround me. Before I start talking craps, I would like to wish HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my LADIES out there. Siapa yang nak kahwin tahun nik, alhamdullilah. Siapa yang nak kahwin on 2015, selamat mencari informasi tentang kahwin kahwin yer. Actually, I am saying that to myself. Things been very hard for me & Y due to our wedding. Lesser time spend for us nowadays.Trying our best to occupy every months with wedding appointments but I doubt so. Because of our work timing.

Things we plan to strike by June 2014:

1. Photographer/Videographer
2. Wedding decor
3. Catering (For Y's side as he haven't done so!!)
4. Bridal Services (Mak Andam)
5. Wedding DJ
6. Groomsmen/Bridesmaids 
7. Dinner suit & Dress (color code yet to be confirmed)
8. Wedding trays

Only 8 things need to be done, but am already like half dead. Dulu orang tanyer bila kahwin, aku jawab lagi dua tahun. Sekarang orang tanyer, next year jek. Punya la mangkuk. Because some knows that, I don't like to answer the question, "Bila kahwin?" For now, I am so occupied with work. I don't have time to think on my wedding day also. Can I just get a wedding planner to help me do everything? But who willing to assist me? Minah cerewet macam aku, semua yang nak tolong nanti lari. Can't deny it, I am very particular what I want to do for my big day. Even Y also lazy to layan  my super cerewet attitude.

Briefing point.

• Photographer/Videographer

So both Y & me decided to slot an appointment with Bliss Photo+Cinema this February 2014. I am not sure how it goes, but hopefully things will go well. We're hoping to strike the dates with them! As far we've done research, some of the photography/videography vendors do not work during Hari Raya Puasa period. Maklum la, kita punya wedding third week of Hari Raya Puasa. Nak elakkan kecewa hampa kali kedua ketiga, we make a decision to ask first, before going for any appointment. Thanks to Ili, from Eleventh October for liaising with this minah cerewet & kiasu.

Question: Why we choose Bliss Photo+Cinema?
Answer:    We hear lots of positive feedback from ex-btbs who already hired them as their trusted photographer/videographer. We also look through their portfolio and I'm quite amazed with their work.

Sorry, idky I can't upload it using my workplace computer. Or maybe I am the one who don't know to upload it. You can view it by clicking the link okay!

So you tell me la ladies, how can I not choose them. Told Y that I still wants Bliss to be my photographer/videographer. Yes, at first he doesn't agree to it. But after convincing him so much now then he agree to choose Bliss. Bukan senang okay nak convinced my mamat. I need to sit with him, show him their portfolio all. Bliss, see you February 2014!

• Wedding decor  
• Catering (For Y's side as he haven't done so!!)

As for our wedding decor we're trying to strike the same wedding planner company. We've choose Mawarprada Wedding Gallery for our decor services. While Y planning to get their catering services too. I just love their decor concept. We've not made any appointment yet with them, because it's Y task to do it. Kalau semua aku buat, aku yang pengsan depan computer nanti eh. Scroll down for some pictures of their wedding decor. I am inlove with the blues combination. I do need Y to go down for food tasting all, I'm afraid he might say yes to everything. And I need to be there too when he really wants to cater their services. I can't fully trusted my mat, anyways.

Question: Why I choose Mawarprada Bridal Gallery?
Answer:    You see the word Prada?!?! Yes, because I love Prada bags that's why I choose them. Haha! Eh no la, I choose them not because of that la. Mintak kene sepak dengan selipar ehk! Most of the decor are beautiful, just like what I dream for my wedding. They provided more than 2 colors combination. But of course, I can't say much about them. Still pending on our appointment date with them.

If you were to ask me why Y choose them as catering, senang jek I jawab. Sebab nik pakcik dia recommend so that's why la okay. (:

• Bridal Services

Like finally, I decided what bridal services to take. After so much of searching through & fro, I decided to go for Merah Jambu The Bridal Room la sehh! They're home-based business, they can get along well with most of the photographers. Some mak andam do not like photographer to interfere while they doing the make-up all. I heard from ex-btbs they do allowed photographer to enter while they doing the andaman for the bride. Not sure how true it is, we still need to check out all the details with them again. Yes, we meeting them February 2014 too, In Sha Allah. Hopefully, our February 2014 schedule not as tight as January 2014.

Question: Why I choose Merah Jambu?
Answer:   They have a natural look make-up. Most of their outfits are covered, not open one. I don't like wearing an open terdedah outfit. I prefer kain songket & lace outfit. Of course a long or 3/4 sleeves. They can get along well with most of the photographer as mention above. I need mak andam can stay with me through out the whole event, and they does. I see it with my eyes already okay!

• Wedding DJ

We're still not sure what is the best wedding DJ we can hire!! Still searching, anyone please do recommend good DJ to us okay. Thank you so much!! Sorry for the large font eh, hehe.

• Groomsmen/Bridesmaids 

Please give us the best number that we can choose for groomsmen & bridesmaids. Still pending on 3 but like tak lawa gitu. Ikutkan hati nak ajek amek 7 dayang & pangeran eh.

Cute kan kalau ramai ramai macam gini. But Ain, dream on la! So many for what?! Moreover, I don't have lots of friends. Unless I want to take outsider just to be my bridesmaids. Actually, 6 also not bad yknow. But confirm I pokai after that la. Mane nak siapkan baju dinner & sanding nanti. 

• Dinner suit & Dress (color code yet to be confirmed)

Still deciding on the dinner wedding dress color code. But of course I need a long dress gown. Maybe with an A-Line cutting or a Mermaid cutting line. Also, I need lace to covered on it. That is why I need to customize my own dinner reception dress.

I need a Tiara for my hair, IF possible I need a sapphire accessories. Dream on, Ain!! Omg, I am so demanding with my wedding plan. :D

Photo credits: CTDT Tailor

I prefer Y to wear Light Gray color as our wedding dinner suit. And yet, I am still looking around. I need to find the best tailor for him too. If anyone knows, mind sharing it with me. Thank you!

• Wedding trays

Look through Bonito by Bob profile on Facebook. And found out they did wedding trays too. But doubt so they can take anymore bookings for 2015. Read through A rose wedding post about Bonito by Bob and sadly, he stop taking bookings for 2015. I need to search another alternative ways where to get the trays. Should just go Johore to grab it? Not sure. But hey, I still want to email Abang Bob regarding room decor. Mane tau ade chance boleh slot in booking dengan dia eh. 

Photo credits: The Wedding of Hana & Salim by Bonito

Ohh my gayyyy! Lawa giler kan!! This is what I want, but since he's not taking, I shall just forget about having acrylic boxes as my wedding trays. Maybe, I will search for something different? Argghh! Stress dibuatnya tengah malam nik!!

Photo credits: Bonito by Bob

Can I hire him to be decorate my rooms? This is so tempting! I shall email him right?!?! 

I think, I brief some of the things that I need to do by June 2014. So people, just wait for my next entry which I don't know when will it be. If not lazy, I will update it la. I need to rest my eyes from this desktop! 

Goodnight, xoxo

Save The Date

Sweet, short and simple post I guess before I start my new career path later on in the morning which is today. Excited & at the same time hati berdetak detuk detik segala babe. I don't know how the new environment will be like. The people, the ambience, the work load, the stress and more. I am praying hard petang tak hujan sebab nak si mamat Y fetch me from work. I need him to take MikeCharlie tomorrow sebab badan dia da hancur dimamah kegatalan. Pity him okay, he never be like beruk yknow. Keluar jalan sikit ke atas motor mesti garuk dengan naked hands dia. Angry mode, because germs all over his naked hands then garuk garuk macam beruk.

Whatever it is, I am FINALLY announcing the wedding date for #faiain BIG day. Fuhhh macam mane punya big shot jek announcing semua. Haha, look out for the date on the picture below. Save the date, ladies! Praying hard this will be the last numbers & date for #faiain BIG day. Da penat nak tukar tukar date la. AND yesterday #faiain was celebrating our 1st engagement anniversary. In Shaa Allah, it will goes on till our BIG day. Okay I shall sleep now, goodnight lovelies.

Dinner date over at The Manhattan Fish Market. I love the mussels so much! New menu to add on whenever I dine in there. Nak jugak selit eh.

SAVE THE DATE, people!! Pray the best for us, no more changes please. 

xoxo

Try it on...

I'm happily enjoying my mode of holiday before starting my new career AGAIN from scratch. This time round, i'll make sure it will be last. Because I've been changing my career path for a few times. Sampai bilakan? Nak kahwin tapi jalan hidup aku sendiri tak sure. Until my mum said, "Kali ni kerja biar la kekal. Jangan tahan 3 6 bulan jek eh." Kan da kena sindir, padan muka aku! Eh, but atleast I did work more than 6 months in every job yknow! Forget about it, and let's try it on for wedding rings.

Yknow why the reason I said, let's try it on? Read this post to find out more, and I am just doing the recapped here la actually. I've been doing lots of survey on my wedding ring, but I can't find something that really suits my finger. Yes, I am lazy to go every jewelry shop nak masuk je kaki macam tak boleh. Because I scared of hard selling, or malas nak layan punya muka. It did happened to me once upon a time while am looking for my engagement ring. Either they just ignore you, or maybe just layan macam nak tak nak. From there, I decided to search online. Die die I want to buy online for my wedding ring. If can la, but doubt so Y will agrees on it. To him, buying online is such a leceh thing to do. As for me, it's an easier way to save money & time. Click click, and buy it! Taddaaaa, easy right.

After reading Eleventh October post, I find it very very useful and decided to download the application on my Note II. Like seriously, I am excited to show and share with Y about the apps. I thought, I am the only one excited about the apps. Sekali dia pun nak juga eh! Helpful apps, makes me easy to choose or see which diamonds really suits my finger. So let's see what shape really suits my finger.

Sources: Bluenile.com

Sources: Bluenile.com

That is how those rings looks like when it's attached my finger. Kan bagus kalau cincin tu memang betul. Tak mampu kalau nak beli la kann. Prices are all from $10K onwards okay! Those rings are really beautiful, indeed. Of course, it's from a well known jewelry shop, Tiffany & Co. Idky, those diamonds are expensive. I prefer, round & heart shape when I put it on. From my opinion, I repeat eh this is only my opinion. Round shape diamond are too mainstream, I guess? While heart shape, I have one for my engagement. Takkan nak beli lagi heart shape kan. Da tak jambuss & lain. I have two diamonds inside my head, and the cost pun macam mahal jek. Macam tak mampu jek. Macam mampu jek. Macam ade chance kena sepak jek. 

A three stones ring! Beautiful fit on my finger, and Y also agrees that this is it. But shamelessly, I said I don't want this. I still one the want that I desired for a long time. 

THIS IS IT!! Mata macam nak terkeluar bila nampak Kate Middleton's engagement ring kan? I want my dream ring to be in Sapphire stone/diamond. Royal/Ruby sapphire, anything got to do with sapphire please. Told Y that I really one this, and his answer is.. "I kena kerja part time I all out la every month untuk dapatkan you batu nik." Ahh a good answer eh, batu ke ape? Hello, nik batu bukan batu yang Bujang Lapok beli okay dekat kedai. Campak sorang seringgit. But I know, he will try his best to grab this for me. I am so so inlove with sapphire. 

My review, please download the Tiffany & Co apps. Try it on, who knows it gonna' be perfect for your finger. And please don't hesitate to update about it after using the apps. Till here, goodnight. 

Ps: FaiAin's still surveying on our pre-wedding photoshoot location. Suggested of photoshoot location, please leave comments below. Thank you!

Wedding Bands..

Hi,

It's time for me to talk more about my marriage preparation & I've been neglecting about it since some incidents happened. Now, the person who semangat is Y. Kept talking about marriage till I get so annoyed with it. Tapi sayang punya pasal, I layankan jek la okay. So lazy to think about it actually, but for future wise and for us I put that mindset away and start it now. Anyways, I am sad to inform this that FaiAin's date of solemnization has to be delayed due to some circumstances that can't be avoid. After so much of discussing, at last we found the date and In Shaa Allah the date/day will be confirm again sooner. Just wait okay! It's hard to delay everything & cancel all the bookings which you've done earlier on. No wonder people always said,  "Kita hanya merancang, Tuhan yang menentukan segalanya." Well, I just take it as a test from Him. We have to disclose the reasons in order to respect both sides.

Back on the topic, ladies. It's a wedding bands topic that I'm gonna' talk/share about today! Pretty excited on the preparation that me & Y been discussing on. One of the topic we talk about is, our wedding bands. Well, everyone needs one wedding bands/ring for themselves kan. Last time, when they talking about wedding bands, I always thought it's a wedding bands who will entertain the jemputan on the day itself. Haha, funny to think it back. But actually, it's all about a ring. I've been asking Y about his favorite jewelry, and sadly to say he don't bother to have one at all. Baik eh mat aku, memang tak suka barang barang kemas nik semua. I just wondering what type of ring should I get for him. Lets put that aside, and start talking about my favorite of wedding ring style.

Saw a few online, and at the jewelry shop but to be frank I prefer with simple yet elegant and of course have a vintage touch in a ring. I don't like too much designs or engraved on the ring. Sometimes, I wonder why some couple love to buy wedding bands which can reach SGD$5000++ lei. Omg, that freaking money you can pay for your majlis okay. You don't have to spend so much till that amount. I am just giving my points of view. I just find it like merepek jek la. Though I know, it's not my problem or my money. But to think back, you pakai beribu punye cincin orang orang semua ade kesah ke? Ade sebok sebok nak tanye ke? Anyways, this is a feedback that I give okay!

Heirloom Petite Pave Diamond Ring 14K White Gold

Delicately crafted, this petite pave diamond ring in 14K white gold features diamonds all along the top of the ring to create a fine line of brilliance and a milgrain edge for a vintage touch. One of the keywords in my research of ring, vintage okay.

Pave Sapphire and Diamond Ring in 14K White Gold

Delicate and brilliant, this sapphire & diamond ring is crafted in a petite design of 14k white gold featuring alternating pave set diamonds & sapphire. Well, I always love sapphire. Because of the royal blue color. I just find it unique, and of course vintage. Just like how I love Kate Middleton engagement ring in sapphire diamond.

Actually, I more too yellow gold or rose gold or champagne gold lady. I don't really like white terms of jewelry so much. Even if wear it, I'll just wear it for casual. I still love my engagement ring, heart in gold. I just have to thanks my Future Mother In-law who've been choosing the ring for me. Despite all my cerewet, she still sabar & tahan dengan perangai bakal menantu die. 

Heirloom Petite Cathedral Pave Diamond Ring in 18K Yellow Gold

Elegant with a touch of vintage, this diamond ring setting features pave-set diamonds in a delicate 18k yellow gold milgrain design to frame your diamond. 1/8 carat total diamond weight. Vintage look design, and maybe this will be one for my Mas Kahwin or maybe our wedding bands. I just need to go for sizing check again, and have more knowledge on rings. 

Classic four Claw Ring

Classic in design, this petite four claw ring setting is crafted in 18k yellow gold and is designed to complement your choice of centre diamond. Well, this is just a simple ring with a diamond design in the middle. Plain 18k yellow gold attach together with Emerald diamond to make it feel simple.

So which will be my favorite design out of 4 rings that I've shared? Still too early to decide, maybe someday I will drag Y to any jewelry shop. Y told me to think of another jewelry for myself as our Mas Kahwin but I can't think of any yet. Should I get a ring again or others example like necklace & bracelet? Actually, Y decide to get for me a necklace, just that I don't know what necklace suits me. That one, I should talk in another post. Jangan nak sidetracked in this post!

I still could not think of what ring should I get for Y. He isn't the type who love jewelry, and I bet if he have it he will just keep it. Pakai untuk for show jek la eh. Or maybe when he's going out with me, but to work I doubt so he wants to wear it. Let's take a look what ring suits him! Excited sehh Ain nak prepare nik semua. Nanti da busy dengan kerja semua lupa. 

Satin Finish Wedding Ring 

Substantial in feel, this classic wedding ring is crafted from grey tungsten carbide and features a satin finish.

Brushed and Polished Comfort Fit Wedding Ring

Contemporary in appeal, this men's wedding ring is crafted in durable tungsten carbide. The grey tone design features a brushed finish and polished edges contrast.

Emery Wedding Ring

Make your love resonate with this timeless palladium wedding ring, featuring an inset milgrain detail and an emery finish.

You decide, which one should be my preferences. Since I can only choose tungsten or palladium ring for his wedding bands. I can never buy anything that got to do with yellow gold, because he is pantang with that issue. Da bagus dia setuju nak beli cincin. So I must just follow his decision to avoid any fights. 

Anyways, I need 2 freaking days to write & post this up yknow. I need to do my research so much! Moreover, am starting schooling part time. So my time will be very very limited. I am starting my school under business start-up courses. In Shaa Allah, I can do it though it takes time for me to achieve. Till here ladies, and we will meet again. Goodnight, start you weekdays with love & Bismillah.

xoxo

Something to make me smile...

Hi ladies,

Been spending most of my time at work since I am feeling much more better. What worries me is my fever which keeps coming late night & stomach flu. The pain come & go, and I feel like poking something to see what's inside. But I think I shall forget it la, by the time aku cucuk confirm plus chop aku da tak sedar kan diri. Buatnye aku tak bangun lagi susah. I scared lei wanna' die early! I still want to get married & build my own family.Can't wait to see my Delta in 2015, In Shaa Allah.

Back then, I've been shopping alot due to my stress level at work & home. Yes, I do shopping when I'm stress. Normal for women I think? Who never shopping before if you on stress? Angkat tangan tinggi tinggi please!! Y is getting annoying sometimes for being so mak nenek who keeps nagging at me about shopping. But I think, it's a girl thing to do. Even when she's not stress or bored or angry or sad or what so ever la. Just a girl thing okay! Moreover I shop using my own money la okay. I don't used his money, okay have but sometimes only. Can count with jari only la.

For the month of July & August I've been mugging on my phone/iPad/laptop to grab things online. I am too lazy to get my things at the shop, so I just click click it online & purchased. But I tell you, tak berani nak check account balanced berapa sebab takot my dua biji mata yang terkeluar. Da susah! Nevertheless, I still know I have enough & sufficient money to spend on my items beside savings. Worried more on Y's side because he will be more rabaks than me. I have my parents to support me on my majlis. Whereas Y, he needs to fork out every single things all by himself. How I wish I can help him sometimes.

Voiced up my suggestions on what I wanna' do for our wedding gift. Suggested to Y, that I shall settled my own trays & am willingly to help him in future(if needed). In case, eh nik in case jek ehk he's not enough money. Maklum la kita bukan orang senang, dan kaya raya macam ade sesetengah orang yang sibuk dok bobal pasal hal saya mengatakan saya nik very the kaya youuu. Don't ever judge the person easily please. You don't know me too well just yet. Maybe because of the rezeki Tuhan give it to me now you see I'm smiling & whatever I want I can achieved to get it by myself. All thanks to Allah for guiding me through this year. The rezeki that keep coming non-stop makes me even more stronger to achieve what I want. Even Y was feeling blessed on what I gain now.

Month of September please be good because I will be busy with work since Apple.inc will be releasing their new iPhone on mid of September. And definitely, my work gonna' be double. Hopefully, I can managed it! Yes, always start your work with Bismillah & ends with Alhamdullilah. Confirm you will never feel tired on what you doing. People are busy looking for wedding packages all, yet I am busy with work & shopping. Next year, will be the hard year for me due to hunting for my wedding gifts. But I just can't wait. My dreams were to have all Chanel stuffs on the tray. Actually kan, aku boleh bermimpi jek la eh. Tak mampu babe nak beli itu semua. 

Something to eye for. Black Satin slip on shoes. I don't care if this is not the shoes that I will get, as long it comes from Chanel. Say what you want. All I can it's a DREAM la okay. :D

Le Chanel Boy Bag (Flap Cover) in gray. Tempted to the wallet which cost more than SGD $1000++ but I shall lupekan saje niat di hati nak beli nik. The long wallet only da BOMB ape lagi kalau bag die kan. Tak mampu babe, kalau mampu pon confirm kene rejam dgn bag kasut mak aku yang berlambak dalam store.

Basically, that's what I wish for to be on my tray. I just like to wish upon the stars because sometimes what I wish for i'll get. Just like my Chanel's stud! Lost one that I bought months ago, but someone is too kind to buy me a new one. Omg! I can't thank much to that person. Definitely not Y! Because he will always said, "Buang duit jek you beli nik semua. You pakai dorang nampak ke tau ke benda kat telinga you to original ke bukan?" Ahh you see, he will always give negative thoughts. Sometimes, what he said is true enough! Anyways, thank you to whoever you are for putting the items on my doorstep. Naseb tak hilang babe! 

Actually I know who gave it to me, but I just can't reveal the identity here. I love it!

Not to forget my 1 month old Chanel Parfums that I bought during spree sales online. This pouch being with me every single day. Stop using all my bags just for the sake of this cute little black pouch. Bought this bag secretly without Y's acknowledgement. Obviously, when I received it I will tell him about it la. Wasted my $$$ on this thing. Actually, not worth it! Trust me, if you love something definitely few hundred bucks only will be few dollars. Haha! True much.

I shall ends my Sunday tonight with foods that were taken on Saturday. Yes, date with my one & only date, Y. And oh yes, Y bought me this Black 4 Layer Jewelry Box from La Vida for me. Because I always keep complaining about losing my jewelries so he bought this as a random present. Yeahhh! 

Goodnight ladies!
