KL Mission 01 - point 2

Day 2 - 29th April 2010

Can't really sleep last night as the new environment is new. xD

Woke up very early watching tv and do some budget calculations. lol.

AND i found out that i had forgotten to bring my skincare + makeup. DDDD:

i don't wear makeup much, but at least a moisturiser and an eyeliner should do! :(

But yang paling best was...on this day, kitorang plan pegi IKEA! XD

Called Yabuki to wake him up, then bersiap-siap pegi breakfast.

Uuu...sayangnye...ader free breakfast for 4 people, but guna 2 je. :/

Lepas makan, kitorang pegi ke stesen masjid jamek, and met up with Hanzo there.

Hanzo kerja somewhere near, so dier willing nak pick up.

And super super arigatou to him sebab lend us his car to go to Damansara. ^^

He drove us to his office, and then Yabuki took over the driving. And aku kena jadi co-pilot...siap guna GPS and google earth. Hahaha~~ aku tak reti guna semua tu...jadi arguments pun banyak berlaku dlm perjalanan. :P

Dier cakap aku tak reti bagi direction, yelah...aku maner penah baca map yg gerak2 tu...aku dah cakap aku tak reti...But bila aku dah cakap direction betul, dier belok kat lorong lain plak...jadi i told him, "you're the one who are bad in listening orders!". Lepas tu dier diam sbb dier tau dier salah. Takpe la busyuk! XD

Dalam sejam around 11:00 am something, Alhamdulillah, sampai jugak kat Damansara...boleh nampak 1Utama, Sri Pentas (betul ke Sri Pentas?), Curve, dan Ikea (and Ikano). XD Walaupun pusing2 satu damansara tu sbb tak tau nak masuk kot mana. Hampir termasuk highway lagi...Highway amat mengerikan! x_x

Kuching takde highway, so kitorang tak biasa. LOL.

Oh IKEA~!!! Pujaan hatikuuuu~~~!!

Sangat besar sampai kitorang shopping tak ingat masa...ala..bukan beli banyak pun...but mencari2 barang and nak memilih ikut kegunaan + budget. Nak beli katil and wardrobe kat sana, but takut Cargo tak leh hantar brg panjang2...Punya la lama pilih barang tak sedar dah pukul 2...then pegi makan...Sweedish meatballs~!! Ya adik-adik sekalian...orang yg tamak selalu rugi...

aku beli yang RM15 punya, lepas tu tak boleh habiskan...tak sangka plak sgt banyak! Oohhh...duit & meatballs...aku rasa sangat bersalah! x_x

After that, knowing that our time actually has limits, sbb Hanzo balik kerja at 7pm, and heard the worst condition of traffic jam in KL, so we rushed to find our things.

Banyak jugak yg aku singkirkan out of my list...sebagai contoh, floor lamp...RM69.90. Bila jumpa side table lamp yg plastic tu harga RM9.50, aku dah rambang hati...so ambik je yg murah. Plastik ke besi ke, aku tak kesah, janji budget boleh dikurangkan.

Aku tak jumpa long desk MALM yang aku nak tu (jumpa dalam IKEA punya bedroom planner)...most of the MALM table yg aku jumpa, semua ader drawer...which is very expensive...

The sheep fur pun sangat comel!! Nak sangat beli, but rasa macam tak worth it...RM249...mahal dari almari drawer ANEBODA tu. And oh!!! Aku ambik lilin2 kecik yg bau vanilla tu...From the first time i stepped into IKEA first floor, aku dah terhidu bau comel itu...nasib baik hidungku tajam...dpt cari lilin bau vanilla...lol...ader banyak lagi smell yg lain, but aku suka ituuuuu~~ yabuki and my mom tak suka. D: nasib baik fyka suka...

Dah ambik barang2...bayar, then packed barang2 dalam kotak utk dihantar ke cargo.

Bayar RM65 so that IKEA can send the things to the Cargo's punya company.

Then, sbb process tu sgt lama...hari dah semakin gelap, OH NO! Hujan sangat lebat!!

Sangat rushing nak pegi balik KL. Traffic jam...Guna GPS cari jalan yang tak jam...

Terjumpa la kedai2 perabot yang ala-ala victorian & cleopatra yang Anita Sarawak selalu modelkan tu....Wuuuuu!! Sangat kaya dan bling bling rupanya!! LOL~~

Dah sampai KL, cuba cari office Hanzo...tak jumpa sebab salah jalan...problemnye...battery handphones kitorang dah mati...Laptop pun sama... sgt panic waktu tu! Hanzo contact hp Yabuki yg satu lagi tu, dier cakap takpe...dier pegi dinner with kawan dier, and he can go to our hotel to pick up the car...Then me & yabuki cari lagi jalan nak balik hotel. Sesat lagi...lol...

Then masuk kat KLCC...kahkahkah...funny things happened where sebab kitorang dah panic sangat...even nak ambik tiket masuk parking pun dah tak tau!! Hahahaha!!

Lepas parking, pegi cari tempat untuk charge battery.

Nasib baik ader Starbucks! Aku dah sangat2 tired...tak makan dinner pulak tu...

Lepas tu Hanzo cakap dier ader kat KLCC...kitorang pun simpan balik barang, then pegi cari...aku singgah kejap kat Watsons nak beli eyeliner and moisturiser. After that, cari2 Hanzo, dier cakap dier kena hantar kawan dier balik Sunway sbb diorang tak reti nak keluar from KLCC. LOL.

Then dier mintak tolong ambik dier kat Sunway...

Pusing2 jugak la kitorang sebab jalan sgt jam terutamanya kat Jalan bukit bintang and imbi...

With laptop yg mati jugak akhirnya, and signboards, dpt jugak kitorang sampai kat Sunway at 11:59 pm. Perut yang lapar pun dah aku tak ingat sbb sangat mengantuk.

Then Hanzo hantar kitorang balik hotel...

Akhirnya dpt jugak la aku tido walaupun masih gak terbangun tiba2 sebab masih tak biasa dengan bilik tu.

KL Mission 01 - point 1

Day 1 - 28th April 2010

9:00 am - Arrived at airport.
10:40 am - Flight to KL.
12:40 pm - Arrived at KLIA.
12:50 pm - Taking ERL to KL Sentral.

Lepas tu tak ingat jam brapa ntah...terus naik LRT pegi Ampang Park. Bawak beg besar.
Then checked in at PNB Darby Park. Serious exclusive tempat ni. Kalau tak kerana MSAM 2010 hari tu, and offer price for only RM300+ for 1 suite (double rooms), memang tak merasa nak duduk sana kot. Unless aku dah kaya esok. Hahaha~~

Kitorang main janken pon, and aku dapat bilik kecik, and yabuki dapat main bedroom. Benci. *Edit: kenapa post saya kena makan! byk benda hilang start from here! kena type balik. grrrr....*
Aku suka bilik aku tu...bukak tingkap boleh tengok bangunan Tabung Haji. Rasa safe pulak bila tengok kalimah Allah kat atas tu. Aku kan penakot...huhuhu... Bilik aku ader shower biasa je...bilik Yabuki ader bathroom. Benci part 2. Takpelah...janji ader air panas. That suite ader kitchen + full utensils, comfy living room, ader 3 washrooms, 3 TV sets plus DVD player + ASTRO, and inside the rooms ader sejadah, seterika, & ironing board. My bed was king size...aku penuhkan dengan bantal-bantal kat ruang katil tu, sebab takmo nampak apa2 makhluk bertenggek kat sebelah aku... =_=
Overall, sangat puas hati! Tapi Yabuki ader complain satu je...pintu dier takleh nak tutup. Hmm..tak kesah...lagipun sapa yg nak kacau dier. Janji aku punya bilik boleh kunci. Muahahahaha! NO ENTRY sebelom kawen. Thank you!

After that, kitorang pegi kat stesen Masjid Jamek. Agak confuse taktau nak pegi guna stesen mana...then we decided guna jalan kat belakang tu and straight pegi Jalan TAR.
Nasib baik aku ingat jalan-jalan tu...Yabuki memang tak tau langsung. Huhu...

Then kitorang masok SSF...
Beli satu barang je...for wall deco. yang lain...biasala...lawa tp takleh nak beli...
too expensive and susah nak bawak balik Kch.
Pastu, jalan lagi...jumpa Cosmic Silk Fashion Gallery. Dulu dah pernah beli kain kat sana...for Yabuki's hantaran.
Terjumpa la sorang budak yg kerja sana part-time boleh cakap Sarawak. Kerol (khairol kot?) namanya. Aku keluarkan la wedding dress aku...semua macam tak caya yg aku beli harga RM500. Sebab diorang cakap design camtu cost ribu-ribu in KL. Oh ye ke? Syoknya...hahaha...

Macam2 kain dier sorong kat aku. Semua aku tak berkenan. Dier suggest buat bolero pendek and tampal lace kat kaki and badan dress. Aku tak mau sbb taknak rosakkan dress asal. Pastu aku tunjuk kain yang ada kat badan mannequin...dier taknak show sebab malas nak bukak...aku cakap takpe, nanti aku bawak dress aku pegi sana. Boleh la cantik...full with beads...but tak suka beadings dier kaler pink. Aku tanya lagi, ader lagi tak yang macam ni? Then dier keluarkan satu lagi design...

SANGAT PERFECT! Lace dier kaler ivory sama cam my dress...actually aku nak lace kaler putih, but susah nak cari...Beadings dier kaler white, and ader sikit je pink sequins. But...panel tu cuma 2 m suku. Tak cukup untuk buat satu jaket outer yang panjang with train. Ader lagi budak tu suruh aku tampal lace kat kaki and buat bolero pendek. Aku reject.

Sebab pertama; Aku nak guna dress tu for photoshoot.
Sebab kedua; Kalau buat long outer jacket for reception, dress tu macam ada 2 design.

Lace panel with beadings tu sangat cantik...tapi harga dier RM390.
Pastu aku tanya ader lagi tak kain lace yang kosong. Mula-mula dier hesitate nak bagi, but aku cakap utk tambah buat bahagian atas jaket. Baru dier show kan.

HAA!! Lace without beadings pun dah sangat cantik ok?? Very english vintage. I LIKE!

Harga...1 panel (2 1/4 m) baru RM150.

Aku dah terkedu. Macam mana ni?? Aku terus call Kak Maa yang bakal jahit baju kawen aku. Aku tanya la brapa jahit + beadings... dier cakap normally RM350 (harga kawan). But ikut budget aku la. Kalau nak yg hebat lagi, letak la harga mahal sikit. Fikir punya fikir...baik aku ambik yang lace kosong. Tak banyak beading pun aku tak kisah...Lagipun lace tu dah cantik.

Bila aku cakap kat Kerol, dier macam terkejut naper aku taknak ambik yg dah siap beadings. Aku cakap mahal. Pastu dier ckp kalau tempat lain buat beading, lagi mahal. Aku cakap aku ader designer boleh buat. Then dier tanya brapa designer aku charge. Aku cakap la paling murah RM350. Dier boleh siap mocking aku lagi...cakap tak mungkin and stuff. Mintak no designer aku lagi... huh... =_= Dahnye harga kawan, mesti la murah.

Aku cakap balik, Sorry dik...memang tak mampu la nak bayar RM390. Baru dier senyap.

Ok, done. Bila nak bayar, after discount untuk 4 metres and 1/2 baru RM280. Ya, aku sangat gembira. Walaupun kain tu bukan putih tapi ivory.

Tapi, budak Kerol tu datang balik...dengan perasaan tak puas hati sbb tak dpt jual kain beading tadi. Pastu dier siap cakap kat kawan dier pompuan saying that aku boleh buat tailoring + full beadings dengan harga RM350 'je'. Then dier cakap, "LEPAS NI AKU CERITA KAT KAU".

HAA! Nak komplen la tu! Aku peduli apa...bukan ko yang bayar...

After that, kitorang terus pegi SOGO cari Hanzo...dier bawak kitorang dinner kat this one Vegetarian Restaurant. The environment was very victorian! XD Macam boleh pakai lolita and photoshoot kat sana...fufufu~~ The food was nice! i ordered Seaweed Baked Cheese rice.

RM15 i think. And thanks to Hanzo for belanja us that day! XD And he also offered us to drive his car on the next day sementara dier pegi keje.

Pastu, pegi picked up Hanzo's girlfriend, Joey at Pudu area.

Then pegi rumah Hanzo and met Izumi, Misaki, and RayRay. ^o^

Before that, Hanzo tanya whether i know Izumi or not, and he said that Izumi knew me.

Memang tak tau terus actually...@_@ i think she salah orang. lol.

Their house memang super cosplay house! Haha! XD Ada cosplay corner, games corner, manga corner, & dogs corner. X3

After that, dalam pukul 2 like that kalau tak silap, Hanzo sent us back to hotel. Izumi and Joey pun ikut sekali. Then me and yabuki invited them to stay over. But diorang ader keje, so maybe hari jumaat they said.

Since hari dah pukul 3 pagi, diorang pun balik...

Aku took late shower sbb rasa macam org minyak dah...=_=

Then pegi tido.

Spent List Day 1
Wall deco - RM49.80

French lace - RM280

Total : RM329.80

Tarikh keramat...hahaha~~

Alhamdulillah...i'm back in Kuching since last week. ^^
Banyak jugak yang nak disharekan...but not now. Tengah pening kepala. x_x

Anyway, updates...
Alhamdulillah...tarikh pernikahan dah ditetapkan...10th October 2010, seperti apa yang aku impikan dalam beberapa tahun 'bergerek' with Encik Tunang. Encik Kadi pun dah confirm. Yay~!!
Why 101010? Aunty ku tanya kenapa pilih nombor favourite YB Daud? XD
Sebab...itu adalah binary numbers...our first met was on the internet. Secara tak sengaja...taktau Yabuki was my internet penpal. lol. Then, both of us like computer stuff. Lagipun...tarikh senang nak ingat...And yang best nye...bila orang tanya, "Bila hang nak kawen?", aku jawab, "Ten ten tennnnnn~~~ (bunyi style cam jeng jeng jeng tuh)!" XD. Ramai jugak muka orang yang tanya tu blur bila aku jawab camtu dulu.

The receptions will be held on:
27th November - Yabuki's side - Arabian theme.
28th November - my side - Black & White theme (accent colour have not decided yet).

------------
Anyway, i'd like to wish my Mak, grandma, and aunts, and all the mothers out there, Happy Mothers' Day! ♥

Enjoy this song from Yusuf Islam - Your mother.

KL Mission 01 - Wedding shopping

i won't be bringing my laptop together, hopefully can borrow Yabuki's laptop.
Need to update Poupee & Social City. haha!

Aku tak boleh tido since last night. @_@ Biasala...everytime nak fly memang takleh tido.
Baju yg aku nak bawak sikit, tapi kenapa beg berat?
i'm bringing my unfinished wedding dress together, but i wonder how to move around KL with that. =_= Yabuki suggested to take a picture of it, but macam susah nak match Lace materials kalau just bringing picture. Mana beg fukubukuro SexPotRevenge ku dikala ku memerlukanmuuuuuu???? >_<

i invited Mea & GK to stay over with us, since the suite is big. :D
We got great deal from the PNB MSAM'10 last week. ^^
Too bad kitorang tak sempat nak hantar the harian & grand peraduan. ;_;
We believed that all of our answers are correct. But apa boleh buat...terlampau ramai manusia....@____________________@ sesak nafasku...

Ok, i better go now. Nak pegi mandi, then kemas toiletries. Nak bertolak ke Kuching airport dalam pukul 8:30am. Wish me a safe flight and journey, go and back. ^^
Mata ne! :D


p/s: Tadi sebelum mak aku pegi keja, aku dah siap2 standby nak salam...tp nya sik melalek aku kotan bergaut gilak. Ku kepong nya juak di luar gate, aku gik kenak anok. =_= ya baruk pengempang. anak nak salam pegi KL pun sik maok. pelek perange orang tua ya.

Yeehaaaa!! Mid-term break is here~!!!!

The mid semester break is finally here...well, usually i won't be doing anything though, even some of the clubs are organizing trips and etc... SAMS & PDC too... ;_;
Wanted to go but i have to SAVE money for my trip to Kuala Lumpur on 28th April. ^^
Well, not actually a trip...it's more like a hunt...another MISSION for my wedding...lol.

i plan to get my bedroom set at IKEA, however, the cargo person said that they only accept 4'x 4' stuff only. i don't think i can sumbat masuk a Queen-sized bed and a wardrobe inside the container. -_-'' And oh! The fee for the cargo is...RM950. *faints* Well, if they can squeeze in the bed and other more-that-4' height stuff inside, i'd be happy to pay that amount because it's still cheaper than buying bedroom set here.
So, after a long talk with Mr. Fiance...we have to agree that we need to fork out extra budget to buy a bedroom set in Kuching. :/ Sigh...the Aneboda set from IKEA is darn cheap and simple and nice! ;_;

Hmm...what else...
Yabuki's mom adviced us to go to Nilai 3. But me and Yabuki have no idea on how to go there. D: Okay...we can go there by train, but after we bought stuff? @_@ i wonder if we can stuff in the things inside a travelling back pack. lol.

As for a place to stay, i'd say...i'll go to Noble Hotel at Jalan TAR.
Most people will ask, why there? o_O Because it's easier to find wedding stuff there. xD In front of the entrance, there is Semua House, and most of the roads will lead you to Jakel, SSF, KK Deco, Sogo, and etc. XD Lagipun...banyak kuciiiinngggg (and tikus)!!! Aku pernah hantar email to that hotel, cuz the room rate usually come with breakfast for 2, so aku tanya rate for without breakfast ada ka? Depa reply takde. Hish...So i still have to pay RM120 for a night. Rasa a bit membazir cuz aku sorang je dalam bilik tu and aku jarang makan pagi awal. Yabuki pulak stay kat bilik lain...so...we will have free breakfast for 4 people. Ha...sapa nak join awal-awal pagi for breakfast? xD

Budget oh Budget!

Meetings between my parent and his about our wedding date has been done last week; the reception will take place on the 27th & 28th November, whilst the solemnization probably either on 10th October or 26th November, depending on the availability of the Kadhi.

At some point, even though i dreamt of getting married on 10/10/10, there's a voice inside of me having second thought. Most of it triggered by the scariest topic feared by most of the brides and grooms...BUDGET.

Sure, some of my friends asked me why am i so stressed out? My parents should 'sponsor' my weddings and stuff according to them. Most of the parents have their 'Children's Wedding Funds' kept for the future. But for my case, my parents did not really 100% prepared for this. LOL. As they always think that their daughters won't leave them one day. Sweet but that's not how it goes in reality, ne? ^^;;
i won't really blame them, my family is not rich, too many burdens and have to pay for what's important. Besides, for my youngest sister's medications already take thousands ringgit.

i'm part to blame. i'm still having my studies and not yet steadily working. i can only rely on my part-time job salary which only took like...once or twice in a year?
Tiba-tiba rasa nak postpone to next year. u___u;;;



Okay, now...
Let's see the rough spending list (for only the bride's side)...

--------------------------------
1. Bedroom set including deco - My budget is around RM3500. My preferences: something all white, simple, contemporary or vintage-ish.

2. Mattress - Bought from MIVA (Jalan Elis). RM1799

3. Wedding favours - Got 2 in minds...Type A - pretty (like !@#@$$OMGSONICEEE!!!) & a bit pricey. Type B - Nice & price cheaper a bit (got promotion) than Type A. Both are actually the same thing, but in term of packaging, type A is more alluring. LOL. So, let just say, i take Type B (because of budget-wise), RM960. Not inclusive of postage.

4. Bride's Attire -
A) Nikah - i might be getting 2m nice plain (or lacey) materials. Budget: RM120 (ada ka? o_O;;)
B) Reception - Wedding dress RM500 (hooray for wedding expo!). Jacket/Outer: 4m lace materials, budget around RM250?
i'm not really sure about materials' price. @_@
C) Tailor's fee - Adoi...this one, pretty much would be expensive. Let say RM700.
D) Shoes? Err...this one...if possible i want to wear my Engagement Hantaran shoes, but too bad...i need a taller shoes with wedges/platform cuz i'm too short for my wedding dress. ;_; Price range...below RM100. Can't nego with this cuz i don't wear high heels much.

5. Groom's Wedding band - My budget...below than RM1k. Ala...cincin suasa je. :P
But i do have my own preferences too (banyak songeh betul aku ni)! i want a ring with Onyx stone. :)

--------------------------------
Total: RM8929


YIKES!!!!!!

Tu baru je 6 subjects! Not yet including the invitation cards, upah tok Kadi, catering, canopies, hall rent, pelamin (HAA!! PELAMIN NAK YANG MELETOP! Tapi DUIT TADAK!), make-up, tables & chairs, wedding cake, decorations, and other hidden costs!
*menangis tersedu-sedu* TAT

For sure, i have to find some cheaper (and nice) alternatives, DIY-ing, and tweak a lil bit here and there of my budget. i only have RM8k in hand. Yes, sound impossible...but InsyaAllah (if God's willing), everything will be fine. :)
Aja-aja fighting! XD BRIDEZILLA FAITO!!!!!

Bridal Attire

Sorry guys! Keadaan agak busy, so sometimes malas nak update. i did try to update though, but kadang-kadang internet ader problem sampai the things i typed panjang berjela hilang terus!

....

*tergamam sekejap bila tertengok "Save Now" button dengan alt berbunyi "Draft autosaved at 10:33 pm".*

.......

ASTARGFIRULLAHALAZIMMMMMM....

AKU TAK TAU ADER SYSTEM DRAFT!!!
YAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! BOLEH RETRIEVE BALIK!!!! *pegi cari & copy*

----------

Memang dah ditetapkan, i'd go for all white on the Solemnization Day. :D
Nampak suci gitu. Huhuhuhuhu~~ *gelak sipu-sipu*

Kadang-kadang terpikir nak recycle balik baju yang aku pakai waktu majlis Engagement aku dulu sebab aku taknak membazir duit. Tapi...takut basi plak. =_=
Aku pun rasa regret sikit sbb suruh Kak Maa buat beadings kat selendang tu...Aku beli kat Jakel selendang chiffon putih ader beading putih sikit-sikit dalam harga RM270. Kalau beadings tambahan hari tu semua silver or white, aku boleh recycle balik, but ader beads hitam and pink sebab ikut tema Engagement tu. :X

Ha! Satu lagi! Kalau boleh, elakkan beli kain Chiffon ye! Terutama skali kat ladies yang agak tomboy macam saya. Takut koyak... Adui...takut sangat nak pakai balik baju tu! But then, aku plan nak pakai time aku graduate nanti. :) Beforehand, aku memang nak beli Classic Lolita dress ala Mary Magdalene punya style for that day.




Bila fikir-fikir balik...kesian kat baju tunang aku tu...aku pakai balik je la. Jimat sikit duit. Maybe i will re-use the skirt for my Nikah. :D

But since kain tu dah chiffon, aku tak tau nak pilih kain aper for the top. Lace? Pair it with corset? Sound nice, but terfikir pulak camne nak duduk guna corset? Tak semput ke wahai brides yang pernah pakai corset for Nikah? Hehehe~~
Kalau nak buat baju kurung modern yg tak guna corset, kena beli chiffon lagi la jawabnya...but...argh...susah lah... >_<
Opinions?

For reception, aku kena beli kain lace~
i bought a wedding dress at a Bridal Fair kat The Hills last month. Simple je. :D
But problem dier, it's not purely white and more to...um..ivory? Since my theme colour is Black & White, jadi aku kena design balik dress tu and add some white lace...and sleeves (sebab mak aku tak kasi seksi-seksi).

Tengok la nanti...this month aku akan serang KL~! Yeehaaaa!!! XD
