diary of a half cooked wedding planner

I know I know, should’ve have said diary of the bride-to-be…but one thing I’ve figure out this past few months – when u’re planning ur OWN wedding..the pressure is more intense, cause you’ll crack ur head wanting to make it too darn perfect (when u can’t). So I’ve decided to pretend that it’s not MY wedding I’m planning, instead its Lia’s or Kak Wani’s wedding hahahah. Hence I’d make the best I can but I wont kick myself in the head wanting the perfectness of everything. Take loads of pressure off my shoulder, in a way.

|=_=|

You should have seen my wedding checklist. I’ve made the most complete (huh I wish) checklist right down to the price of petaling st’s white roses. Heck, I even got a few bookings requesting for my precious checklist for my frenz future reference when their time is up. Maybe I should quit my job and become a wedding planner instead. On second thought maybe I don’t have to. With 4 adik ipar on tow (tunggu ikin..pastu faiz..pastu yati…pastu syafiq..hahaha) and my own 17 numbers (and counting) of anak buah, I have enuff wedding planning to last till I’m 50.

|o_O|

I’ve announce proudly to my 6th sis during raya that my color theme’ll be fuchsia+purple+white. And my sis just have this to remark , ‘Hmm…but u’re Gemini. Gemini is unpredictable and inconsistence. Next week maybe u’ll want green or brown or black’. Darn it, Ms Nazuha, don’t put ideas inside my head. Purple is good. Purple is good. Purple is….conventional. Purple is…done repetitive of times…no, no..purple is good. Huhuh…

|~_^|

Time’s flying so fast, we’re now already in November. Got so many things to do…and time is running out. Fati keeps scolding me for haven’t got the time to do our date massage+spa+facial and God-knows-wat, haven’t done the songket fitting@the butik yet, my date for trial session with my dear cik andam waney was shifted to Dis, my hantaran is only 30% done (and I’m having second thoughts bout the one finished…finally shove them under my bed to keep from messing them up), card is still in the design stage with the card-maker (I’m printing the inlay myself cause I want to put a personal touch), bedroom and pelamin still in sketching stage (we’ve decided to do this on our own…I have a bunch of creative sisters and frenz hahah), haven’t tempah my nikah baju yet…haven’t decided on the gift yet…and my budget is already bursting!!

|*_*| Sanity…please, please don’t leave me.

I’m trying my best to put a personal touch on everything…as this is a one in a life time special event for me and him. Being simple-minded person, I’m trying to avoid all those frills and exaggerated kerawang2 and concentrate on a clean, sleek look. Lil bit of kerrawang is nice, but set in a simple setting. Trying to break free from tired conventional routine…trying to be unique and special…but at the same time moderate enough to be accepted by the conservatives (esp my mom), cause I’m not marrying in the United States y’all, I’m marrying in Terengganu, the state proudly declared as Negeri cantik, Budaya menarik. Maybe I should get married on the beach with turtle eggs dangling from the coconut trees and serve keropok lekor to all. Darn, now that’s a scary thought.

T_T

But somehow in all this madness I’m praying that I wont forget to real objectives of all this, to gain Allah’s blessing…and to make my family and his family and our frenz happy in celebrating our union. I want to make it an event to remember, but above it all I want to make it a beginning for more special things onwards, beginning of making beautiful memories out of us. The beginning of sharing responsibility and love, in sickness and in health. To be there through the ups and down and to begin a team that completes each other. To be proud of each other and to fiercely protect each other’s weakness from others to see.

I want to begin this with utmost sincere heart. To let bygone be bygone and be committed fully to what I’ve destined to be. And you, my friend, your blessing to this would be awesome

blog ari ini

Slamat hari raya everybody….long time tak update blog hehehek..malas sket =P. Been back @ KL since day b4 yesterday…yesterday kena kije!! Huhuhu since everbody else are still celebrating @ their respective kampong..i was left alone last nite huhuh…

My hari raya is great! Kurang meriah sket cause my 2nd sis at Kota Tinggi last minet tak jadi balik emergency cause my nephew si Emi terreksiden kat JB..teruk gak..kena msk besi dlm kaki…sian dia…so burnla my hari raya angpow to my 5 anak buah!! This year we had an addition to the anak buah list…lil darling Hazeem Najmi from my 5th sis and lil Jannatul Adnin from my 4th sis! And ada perkhabaran yg baik…our newlyweds my kakak ipar Kak Ani is 2 months expecting!! So next year my total anak buah will adds up to be…jeng jeng jeng……..18 the total!!! Hahaha kopak aku time raya!!

Don’t ask me bout my raya’s pics…yeah….snapped a lot of it……… but due to a certain lapse of mind or shall I say a moment of idiosyncratic and idiotic judgment — aku terrrformat the whole folder in the camera! All the beautiful kuih raya pics (itu yg dikesalkannya?) and esp the cute fotos all my darling anak buah…got darn cute ones from Haiqal n Naufal…and gamba aku goreng tempe wat lontong mlm raya hahaha…..Oops haven’t tell my mom that all the family portraits are gone already….huhuk thank God my kakak ipar took some pics via her camera…Kak Ani..u r my savior!!

Memandangkan aku takleh post gamba2 raya…biarle aku post gamba berbuka jek eh? Hehehe……Last week before raya we had sumptuous (agak2ler)  buka puasa evenings……..sajer nak share ngan u all memandang aku dah snap gallons of photos hahaha…and to make you drool (drool ke weh..tp korg

kan

dah kenyang melantak rendang)………

First stop…we went to Jusco Tmn Equine…sajer borink2……..got there trus chop tempat kat Secret Recipe….hah to tell the truth I don’t care so much about the restaurant..tp dah takde idea nak mkn mana……..and their banana chocolate cake is so heavenly……..so tried the Thai Fried Rice………hmm…too sour..and the taste is pretty bland….not for me. Lia ate the Tomyam Koong yg dpt award tuh…hmmm..still not to my liking…Fati’s lasagna is pretty okay…but I’d chose PizzaHut’s one any time. We had cakes for dessert…I chose tiramisu while curik2 makan banana choc Lia. But one thing I love…air epal+limau kat situ……refreshing and so darn yummy!!

The next day…ada org tu nak blanje Fish Market…yumminesss!! Hahaha so we all drove down to Alamanda Putrajaya….order tak hingat punyer…..sian ko Kebak. Fati had a plate of fish and chips…I had a grill platter n lia+kebak had a fried seafood platter..dont ask me the specific name hahaha. My grill platter consisted of a grill fish fillet, a few prawns, squids and mussels. Got these nice garlic rice which practically melt in my mouth…..nice stuff indeed..except selera melayu kampong hehek..too much garlic n cheesy buttery thingy and you frantically search around for sos cili! Can find any though =(..yelah kami

kan

kat

Manhattan

huhuh. The food is fairly decent…the service is pretty bad…I mean pukul 8 baru kami dpt the whole order!! Nak marah…kesian kat waiter tuh…diorg pon pose gak……But anyhow the tiramisu is do darn good! So soft and smooth and fatteningly sweet yg sedap! I’d recommend it to anyone with half a sweet tooth!! (Steer clear of the mud pie though…if you cant stand total triple rich sweet chocolaty nutty stuff…hurm I’m getting a headache just thinking about it…)

So there you go..my first ever food review!! (too much of browsing cooking fotopages..hehe mind me). And lastly………since we’re still in the celebrative mood of hari raya, izinkan saye (aichewaah) menyusun sploh jari tangan meminta ampun maaf seme kesalahan yang pernah dilakukan smada sengaja atau tersengaja (hehek)…halalkan seme makan dan minum terlebih atau terkurang..tercakap atau terrsound…. Sekuat2 manusia ialah yang belajar memafkan……..insyaAllah….Have a nice day okie…babai!!!
