Finally Married!

Hello. I'm currently in Busan Korea having my honeymoon. Actually not so much of a honeymoon anymore since my hubby is working here for a week.. but we went to Seoul earlier for the real honeymoon ^^

Lets talk about the wedding. Most of the planning and preparation was made 7 months ago. My 1st idea for the reception was to have damask theme. But I thought, a lot of damask would make it look messy. So I kept the damask theme, but put it only on my wedding cake! Since I won't have cake cutting ceremony on nikah day, I chose cupcake cake so people could eat them as a dessert! For nikah's pelamin I wanted to make it all white and 'mirrory' & as for Sanding pelamin, I made it English theme (with pink black & white as the colours). Both pelamins are from UR wedding story.

Remember the big tissue flowers as table centerpiece? At first I wanted to make 25 bunches, but 3 hours before the reception starts, 20 more tables were added! So.. I didn't have enough flowers :(

My dress for the reception was made by my favourite malaysian designer, Rizman Ruzaini and for nikah's dress is from Hazwani Osman, another malaysian designer, rented from UR wedding story. Oh and the nikah's veil! I bought the ready made beads in KL and asked a tailor to make it as a veil. Eventhough it's a bit heavy but I love it so much!

Thanks to our photographer Jofanna Bridal, videographer [X]D Visual Production & BOB AF both flown all the way from Sarawak. And not forgetting, many thanks to my family (especially mummy & daddy) and friends who has helped so much to make it happen.

To my hubby, thank u for always being there for me. I know it's not easy to sing in front of 700 guests, but being the romantic guy as always, u did it anyway! I love you!

DIY table centerpiece

Look at this picture.



I absolutely adooooreeee the centerpiece. I've always wanted tall flowers on my wedding reception. So I went around KK looking for artificial flowers and tall vases. The flowers and vase cost around RM7-10 EACH. & I have 50 tables! Can u imagine how much money I have to invest on them? *scary face*

So I chose plan B. Google google google and I found a DIY website on how to make flowers using tissue. yaaayyyy! Experimented it and voila! this is the end result. It's easy & CHEAP!!



But I have to make lots of it to make it as a bunch. This whole month I've been working hard on these flowers. and this is what I made!



At the moment I only finished 12 bunches. Oh I also made pink flowers. I think i'm just gonna make for 25 tables cos I only have 4 weeks left. I still have to wrap the bamboo with pink/white ribbons. as for how to make it stand tall, u will just have to wait and see til after the wedding ;)

Will blog about it later! toodles~

I'm engaged!

After 9 years of ups and downs.. we are finally officially engaged! Andy, my fiance chose 27th november 2011 as our engagement date, the same date as MaalHijrah this year. He said "let it be like our own hijrah to marriage, a new beginning"

Some came couple of days earlier to help with the preparation..u know who u r ;) thank u mum & dad, my sister, brother, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and the maid, for cooking the food, lifting up the heavy sofas, re-arranging the chairs and tables, sweeping the floor, being with me in my room while waiting.. you guys made a wonderful event for me. And I am truly grateful to have all of you in my life.

InsyaAllah, God's willing, we will be getting married on the 18th of February 2012 :)

Rude air asia worker

I just don't understand why can't some people just be nice to others. My family and I just came back from Australia after 8hours of flight, and waited in the airport for another 6 hours before our flight back to KK. So obviously we were very tired. We met the stupid guy when it was our turn for baggage check in.

My sister was the 1 who gave our itinerary, there were 6 of us (me, my sis, my big & lil bro, mum & dad). He looked at them and gave them back to us saying

Rude guy: Can you just divide them into 2 groups according to the booking number. with the matching IC

Ok, so you are too lazy to do it yourself, so we just follow what u say lah boss!

After it's done, he checked it again. and then he said

Rude guy: Jadi yang sorang ni tak ikut balik lah? (so this 1 is not going back?)

My sister and I looked at each other. Blur. I asked

Me: balik mana? (going back where?)
Rude guy: KK lah mana lagi! (KK lah where else?)

My brother came from behind and said
Bro: Oh si Ben punya tu. Dia sudah tukar flight lebih awal (It was my cousin. He changed his flight ticket earlier)

Ok, that was 1 point but I can still tolerate it.

After he checked in 3 of our bags, he asked again
Rude guy: Yang 2 ni dah check in. tinggal 5 orang lagi? (these 2 have checked in, so 5 people left?)

Again not understanding what he said, we looked at each other. Who are those 2 and what 5 people? I thought we only have 3 more bags?

Rude guy: Tak paham paham lagi?? (don't understand again??)
and then he shook his head giving us this look like we're the stupidest customer in the world. I was starting to boil up. My brother asked who were those 2 that he was talking about.

Rude guy: Wenddye (cousin) dan Amirul (friend)
(who checked in with their own itinerary at different counters! Which my brother explained later)

And then he said!
Rude guy: hah macam tu lah! kan senang cerita! (hah see how easy that is!)

I was so angry with his reply so I said
Me: LAIN KALI BAGITAU NAMA! (NEXT TIME TELL THEIR NAMES!)
and left the counter

I was so angry with his attitude. As if we could see his monitor and know what the hell is he talking about. My brother said after I left he talked to himself
Rude guy: kite nak tau name jeerr (I just wanna know their names)

My sister later then took the complaint form and came back to his counter demanding his full name. At first he said it was me who raised my voice and he was innocent at all.
Sis: We came to you nicely and that's how you treat us??

He then later apologized (because he won't gave us his name.) But still, it is not hard to be polite. bukannya bayar pun!!

Beware of sliding doors

Hi all!

I just got back from KL but I didn't get the chance to go to Pavilion. If you know pavilion, you should know the gigantic sliding door. There's a story behind it actually. Couple of months back, my sister, lil brother and I were waiting for my parents. we stood near that sliding door and just chatting away. Suddenly this guy ran towards the door, unfortunately only his head went through inside the building. The door closed on him leaving his body on the other side! His neck was stuck in between! He tried to escape but obviously the camera sensor could not detect him. Even the security guard went into panic mode, not sure whether he's afraid of the guy or the door that he tried to knock down. A friend of the guy walked behind him and TADAA!! the door opened! hahaha simple solution. I could not help but laugh witnessing their drama. Even the friend tried to hold his laughter.

So moral of the story, whenever you see this door....

DO NOT PUT YOUR HEAD FIRST! ha ha

HelloOoOo :)

I'm back again! so sorry for not posting anything for so long. Eversince my PC went kaput, I rarely spend my time on the internet (except for checking on my foods in cafe world or cityville haha!) Luckily my other half was willing to lend me his laptop XD But it turns out, my monitor broke, not my PC.. ceh....

So anyway, I've been making clothes for awhile.. just for my own practice. I'm still learning. Like people say, practice makes perfect ;) I do have more dresses on my FB album but I wore my 1st own long dress to a friend's wedding. It is attached to a necklace that I bought in KL (50% off cheap!)

Oh that blue dress is made by yours truly too :)sorry candid pic lol

A pretty lady posted this on a forum

Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?

I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York. My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married?

I wanted to ask:

what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York CityGarden(?), $250k annual income is not enough.

I'm here humbly to ask a few questions:

1. Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2. Which age group should I target?
3. Why most wives of the riches is only average-looking? I've met a few girls who doesn't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys.
4. How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? My target now is to get married)

Ms. Pretty


Awesome reply:

Dear Ms. Pretty,

I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours.

Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here.

From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain. Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of "beauty" and "money": Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square.

However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worried 10 years later. By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a "trading position". If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or "leased".

Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income. This has better chance than finding a rich fool.

Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in "leasing" services, do contact me...
