Hola Ladies!

Eh silap,

Salam ladies.

Wah bulan puasa ni haruslah akak bertukar menjadi ustazah jadian kejap. Hiks.

Hari ni dah masuk hari ke-2 kita berpuasa. How's your puasa so far? Mine Alhamdulillah doing fine. Iyela sudah masuk a quarter lebih sikit century ni haruslah sudah tabah berpuasa. Setakat godaan tengok blog letak gambar makanan tu apalah sangat. Lemah sangatlah iman kalau mudah tergoda.

This year marks the second year I'm fasting in Malaysia after spending good old 5 years abroad. Puasa di negara sendiri masakan sama puasa di negara orang. Like they said, home is where the heart is, kan? I still remember my first Ramadhan abroad. Ramadhan that year fall in October. As you know, Autumn or Fall falls in September till November (if you're on Northern Hemisphere). Sangat heaven masa tu. Berpuasa dalam keadaan dingin, sejuk dan masa berpuasa yang singkat! Believe me, around 5.45-6pm-ish sudah berbuka!

Tapi kali ni puasa jatuh dalam musim panas di mana waktu siang lebih panjang daripada biasa. Subuh masuk pukul 3 pagi. Maghrib pula pukul 9 malam. Gila kan? Semoga tabah menghadapi puasa tahun ini ye!

(HAHA. Gelak dekat junior. Eti, aku simpati. Hiks.)

I went back to my hometown last weekend. Didn't plan to but due to mommy dearest's request, sebagai anak yang solehah (gituh!) aku pun balik lah. The plan was to look for pelamin maker. I actually planning to DIY my own pelamin. Nothing extravagant. Something simple, sweet and modern. It's a safe take considering that most of the pelamin in Perlis is still in the 80's. Urrrggghh. When do these people gonna realize that their design is 20 years left behind? Seriously, people from Perlis are getting more and more exposed due to migrating, media exposure etc., jadi sebagai pelamin maker, you too have to educate yourself on the current trend and whatnot. Macam mana business nak maju kalau masih di takuk lama? Back to the DIY pelamin, mom is not really keen on DIY actually. But since I insist, kitorang pun dengan gigih mencari la mana-mana decorator yang boleh rent out the chair.

I specifically wanted a Cleopatra chair. No back stand (even if it has, it has to be minimal) and it has to be white. Something like this from Kerja Kahwin




Tapi bila tanya semua pun tak(nak) sewakan kerusi. Bulan 12 banyak orang nak pakai pelamin katanye. So diorang tak sewakan. So nak taknak, weols terpaksalah amik pakej pelamin (nan ado) tu. Survey punya survey, nasib baik I found one bridal boutique yang ok compared to the rest. Quite modern. Dalam portfolio siap ade previous work yang guna fresh flower (walaupun hanya 5 -10 batang sajork, yang lain-lain tu fern leaves yang Qistin tak suka tu. Hehe.) but that's better dari lain-lain pelamin maker yang recycle bunga plastic kejung tu banyak-banyak kali regardless of what's the wedding's theme colour.

Price-wise is of course out of my budget yang initial plan nak DIY ni. But one thing I like about the owner is that dia tak berkira and can take some of my questions into consideration. Aku ni haruslah kalau bertanya dan jumpa vendor tu lagak macam prosecutor. Ntah apsal pun taktau. Bakat terpendam kot. Heh. So, I might want to take her into consideration. Mommy dearest dah tanak survey-survey tempat lain dah. Nak terus amik akak tu. But I said no, not yet. Jadi some time during Ramadhan ni, I have to go back again for the sake of surveying another pelamin maker. Maybe in Jitra je kot since Alor Setar is too far. Nanti kena charge transportation segala.

Nikah favours dah lama settle. I think it's ok la for the price that I pay. Something religious tak perlu nak grand bagai. As long as it serve its purpose that's enough for me, insya Allah. Wedding favours pulak still pending. After months (ok tipu bukan months, tapi weeks je. HAHA) of surveying I found one supplier that offer the best price. Sudah bertanya tetapi masih belum order. My dateline is somewhere in September, right after Eid. It's a ready stock item so I do not have to worry about the availability. And since it's not something that got rotten and bad easily like eggs and other food stuff, I think September is just the right time to order. Insya Allah, I have ample time to add the "thank you tags" and ribbon tying later. And by November (at least) all DIY work must be done as I don't like last minute job, well except for hantaran and bridal bouquet which I am planning on DIY using fresh flowers.

Semua aku nak DIY, apa ko ingat ko tu Wonder Woman?

Wah, semua mahu DIY! Gila larat! Hahaha. I admire people like you. I wish I have the same patience. But sadly I don't.

Maybe DIY wedding favours je kot? Jadilah, dapat jugak buat satu DIY. Hehehe.
