2 days left...

Yesterday was very 'heck'tic...

First just want to wish my parents a Happy 27th Anniversary and to my sister Fyka, Happy 24th Birthday!

Salam takziah to Shafiq's mom who passed away on 5th October at 2:00 am because of liver cancer. May Allah bless Aunt Zahrah...she was a great person and a very understanding mother.

Al-fatihah...

Okay, back to updates....

First, the solemnization pelamin. As my previous post stated that the pelamin person did not answer my calls, then i received his sms saying that he'll go to meet us in the 6th October afternoon. But again, he didn't arrive on time where he actually showed up at 9pm.

He called me up saying that my proposed location to put pelamin is not good because he said they need to take off the chandelier to be replaced with theirs (malas case?). i can't really say anything because i wasn't there. So i just have to say "whatever that fits the pelamin and the place and also how people are going to sit and mingle around in the area". Mom and grandma are not helping because they just say "apa-apa la...".

Then, Fyka said they'll come again tomorrow morning (7th October).

i had some passport-making drama as well...had to rush here and there.

Errghhh...i'm very stressed!!! i can sense more 'ugly' things to come! D: *BRIDEZILLA*

*Sings* Uh-Oh! I'm in trouble!

The pelamin person for my Nikah did not pick up my phone calls.

He promised that he'll come over to look at the place but he didn't.

Like hell, why he never answer my calls and my grandma's?

Grandma was waiting for him the whole day yesterday. And today is going to be the last day; if he still not coming over, then we have to switch plan.

That was weird though...most of friends give good credits to him. :/

Was it because 'sama kampung' label made him feel, "sik hal bah...user user..."?

i feel bad for Nasa though. i called him over and talked about this matter and asked whether he can help to design my pelamin in the very last minute. He was kinda worried as in the Bridal industry, if you jadi 'tukang menyambut' kerja plan B, kelak pandey jadi berkelai between their friends. So he needed a confirmation from me and that person.

Erghh...so troublesome...and devastating...=_=

Brapa hari gik tok...

Anyway, Congratulations to everyone who graduated yesterday!

Finally i've been able to walk on the stage with a Bachelor Degree in hand!

Salam Takziah kepada Shafiq atas pemergian ibunda tercinta... ;_;

Al-Fatihah...

Make Up

All brides want to look extraordinary gorgeous on their wedding day. XD

So, i have been hunting for Makeup Artistes since last year.

But most of the 'super kacak make-up' ones are located in the West Malaysia, so aku cuma boleh gigit jari. Hahaha~~

My favourite would be Lova Cinta...her touches are super pretty! Still boleh nampak your natural face without nampak 'cakey' or tebal. Gosh~! How i wish i can appoint her to do my wedding make-up! But since my budget tak cukup nak tanggung transportation and accomodation dier from KL to Kuching, so...takpe la... ;_;

But for those of you who wants her 'magic hand', you can try to find her in Facebook by the name 'Lova Cinta'. ^^

But don't fret Kuching-ian. There are still talented make-up artistes in Kuching as well.

i've gotten mine... but belum cuba the trial make-up lagi. My MUA would be Manja or some called her Julia. She'll be doing my make-up for Akad Nikah, berlulut, and 2 of the receptions.

Her wedding make-up fees:

+ Trial - RM150

+ Akad Nikah - RM200

+ Berlulut (same day as akad nikah) - RM50 (over the earlier make-up)

+ Sanding - RM350 (including groom's make-up)

As for Akad Nikah, i wanted it to be simple, and yes, Manja will be wearing gloves for that. *winks*

Since i need to pay for the trial make-up, maybe i should do so for my pre-wedding shooting...so my money sik membazir... tol sik? :P

Manja also recommended 3 of her friends doing the Pelamin. However, only one responded and i assumed that the other 2 is not interested with little poor bride like me, heh. So, i just appointed the responded one named Nasa to do Yabuki's Arabian pelamin at his house. :)

i might use Nasa's pelamin again for my reception too. Her pelamins will be worked within your budget, so don't be afraid to contact him, yea?

Just leave me your message here if you want their contact number. ^^

Edited:

Julia Manja is not my make-up artist for all of my events. She betrayed our deal and did not even show up. Attitude problem...Some of her friends told me that somebody 'guna-gunakan' her and therefore she was sick. That made me feel pity for her. But one of bestie told my friend that she was actually had problems with the boyfriend. Too bad then...So not professional! :( DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED.

Pelamin oh Pelamin!

Yes, i'm having dilemmas right now in finding the right Bridal shop to do the pelamin with the suitable budget.

Since my previous problem in the last blog post, our family has decided to make;

The Solemnization Day (Rumah Nenek)

a) Guest:

to invite more people, dalam 100 seperah (400 pax) mainly for distance relatives, orang kampung, and sahabat handai yang tak boleh nak datang on other day.

b) Acara:

Selepas akad nikah, buat sanding kecik with tepung tawar. Bunga telur, aku kena beli lagi another 50 pieces just for the day. i don't think sampai 100 org nak tepung tawar pengantin, kan? @_@

The other accessories macam set merenjis, mak dah beli kat jalan TAR, then bunga pahar, pinjam Cik Su punya.

c) Attire:

Dalam process. For the whole day maybe masih pakai baju nikah tu. Kalau ada rezeki lebih, boleh ganti baju. Hmm...baju apa ek? i like songket~! Tengokla kalau boleh sewa.

d) Pelamin :

Gosh...i'm planning to DIY my own pelamin. Nikah guna bantal je kan? Then the pelamin for sanding kecik, will try to ketuk-ketuk, gergaji gergaji sendiri. ^^;;; Stage boleh re-use my Tunang punya stage. Nak save budget katakan...Uuu...sapa ada kerusi bangku 2-seater 2nd hand?? LOL.

Bahan-bahan that i need to get; plywood tebal, kain, etc.

Persandingan / Reception Day (Hotel Grand ***** - Not confirmed, tgh cari cheaper alternative)

a) Guest:

Dalam 200 pax. Close relatives, close friends, parent's colleagues, Dad's close friends, VIPs, etc.

b) Acara:

Nyohohoho~~ macam persandingan la...i even drag my bridesmaids to do something...:P

Will get my sister to sing, aku pun nak. :P Potong cake, makan nasik temuan, etc. i actually wanted to ask my cosplay friends to do cosplay skit if possible. Please do contact me if you want.

c) Attire:

Dalam process. Uuuu...designer cakap my french lace tak cukup...so kena tambah another panel. More $$$ burnt... But for the groom's attire, i dunno nak bagi Yabuki pakai baju melayu pahlawan tu ke or suit. Hmm... maybe suit la kot...Since the theme is English Vintage.

d) Pelamin:

Kalau la aku banyak duit, aku nak buat sendiri. Hohoho~~ tapi rasanya aku takde tenaga yang cukup nak buat itu ini...so, right now tengah cari Bridal Shop yang harganya affordable. Serious kena cari yang harganya dlm RM2k sebab duit pelamin dah terpotong because of we'll be doing the event in a hotel. :/ Faham-faham je lah.

---------------------

Adoi...memang planned nak buat Nikah day kecik2 je...but since tak jumpa hall yang besar, kena divide to this day. Takpe, maybe ada hikmah disebaliknya.

Stephenie pernah tanya, kenapa tak upah Bridal Shop je buat? Memang plan to pun...but the quotation memang super high! Went to this shop before, memang serious cantik and artistic, but they asked for RM10k!!! With reason, "Orang lain sik pernah makey plamen camtok!". Memang la sik pernah...but with that price, i don't think i want to splurge everything just on one day and can't keep all those in my possession. So i think that amount is quite ridiculous for me. i know how to ukur baju dekat badan sendiri. Not to say that i'm stingy but i'd prefer to spend RM10k for my honeymoon, or decorating my future home. Reasonable enough?

So, if anyone have any suggestions about Bridal Shops in Kuching doing affordable package/pricing with contemporary designs, please contact me yeah? :) Thanks!
