Morning jog.

Bride-to-be and {diet + exercise} sangat-sangat perlu jadi best friend. They came in inseparable so that later you can be a perfect bride during your big day. Senang cerita those two mesti walk hand-in-hand dengan wedding preparation la.

So there I was, woke up at 6.45am tadi dengan harapan yang berkobar-kobar untuk pergi berjoging. Drove my car pergi the nearest taman. Hirup udara segar and finally nak sarung my kasut until...I found out tapak kasut saya sudah lunyai. Rasa nak pengsan je. OMG!! Tapi disebabkan dah datang dekat the park might as well buat je la 1 round dengan SELIPAR. *sigh*

Tak rasa malu sangat sebab ramai yang jog dekat taman tu pakai selipar and ada uncle ni siap jog pakai kasut kerja yang macam type kulit tu. Uncle tu lagi kental. Oh! As I walked past ada satu group makcik-makcik ni, diaorang tengah sibuk buat Tai Chi. Dang...Agak-agak if i nak join diaorg terima tak I? Macam cool je senaman slo-mo. :)

But then again lepas incident tapak kasut lunyai tadi, tiba-tiba semangat kembali berkobar-kobar untuk beli running shoes yang baru. Lol. Saya tak trendy yea. This time sangat nekad!

I want maroon and he wants turquoise.

Oh! I haven't post about our wedding colour theme pun. I punya colour dah lama dah pilih tapi Encik Rocker punya colour yang paling susah for him to make up his mind. At first nak turquoise. Suddenly his side cakap hari tu his cousin dah kahwin colour biru cair so diaorang bising-bising tak nak colour turquoise. I told him it's our wedding, not theirs and I want him to choose the colour that he loves la. And btw turquoise is definitely different from biru cair. But biasalah, in wedding prep mesti ada drama sikit. Mulalah episod he can't make up his mind nak pilih colour apa. Kejap nak colour cappucino brown (must be cappucino brown not espresso brown pula tu), kejap nak muddy green and kejap nak muddy yellow until..ta-da he finally pilih turquoise + silver + brown and itupun pilih colour time beli kain dekat Nagoya. *sigh*

But still yeay to us! We've won the colours battle. And secara tiba-tiba juga confidence level Encik Rocker boost gila bila he made a clear statement dekat his side semua kena pakai silver on his wedding day NOT turquoise.

Huiyoo garangnya I said to him and he answered "I'm the raja on that day. It's my wedding and I wanna do it, my style." Lol. Don't worry, I got your back love. :)

Encik Rocker: turquoise + silver + brown

Aim: maroon + cream + brown + a dash of black

*perasan tak stilettos merah tu sangat sizzling hot. I wannit! *love*

Cakes, cakes, cakes.

Just a quick post for the design of the cakes.

Banyak warna brown and putih la pula. I think I nak tolak those designs dekat Encik Rocker la. Coz his wedding colour theme is warna turquoise + silver + brown.

Rintihan a bride-to-be.

I miss cooking and baking..
I miss lepak-lepak and bergelak tawa over some silly things with my mates..
I miss just baring and watch my favourite movies..
I miss doing my escapade at anytime and anywhere I wanna go..
I miss my weekends..
I miss my not having to spend my money towards unnecessary things right now...

Wedding preparation can be sucks sometimes especially bila ada anasir-anasir yang try nak kacau the smooth flow of your wedding preparation.

*beli wedding hantaran je kot yang paling best 'coz I gotta choose what I want. :)

A note to Encik Rocker.

We didn't change, and we don't wanna change anything, our personality and all. Apa yang tukar hanya our perspectives in lives and the responsibility we're gonna have in our next stage of life. We have been through lotsa tears, laughs and many emotions. From being a calming us to a bridezilla and a groomzilla (yes he did participate 100% and commit to it while preparing for our wedding).

Yes and yes also, to actually broke the news dekat orang-orang lain (it's not an easy thing to do with lotsa different type of people in our life) about us wanting to get married is a really, really big step for us. A revolution in our life. Something, a thing which people didn't expect at all from us. But we had our own theory about wedding, spending our lives together. It does make a difference to us, to me..the moment when I finally found him, my Encik Rocker. :)

And yeah, like I said to many people, HAIL TO MONOGAMY!

And HAIL TO ENCIK ROCKER!

*this post is dedicated to him...

Cake from Lian.

Finally setelah memujuk Lian from Newlywedsbigday, she finally said yes to me. She sanggup tolong I buat dua biji 2-tier cakes. Thanks dear! Sangat-sangat appreciate you squeeze in your schedule and buatkan the cakes for me. Dah nak nangis before this bila dia cakap she can't do my cake tapi belah laki je boleh. Oh! saya mahu pengsan bila fikir kena start balik buat research pasal wedding cakes punya vendor. Bukannya dekat Malaysia ni tak ada yang boleh buat kek sedap dan cantik, it's just $$$$ tersangatlah mahal yang rasa macam nak pengsan and totally out of my budget.

But Lian boleh tolong saya buat those cakes for the price of RM220 per cake (2-tier cake). Tak macam murah pula kan? 0_0

Finally!

Yes..yes! Saya sudah book official photographer saya. Selepas discuss, discuss, stress, stress, nangis, nangis, tengok budget and finalize siapa yang ambil gambar ikut our preference last-last ambil Bakri Hafiz Hisham (aka BAK). He's quite a young dude. Lebih kurang my age and study architecture dekat UTM but I definitely salute him untuk bakat yang dia ada.

So mari-mari check him out. :)

Note to BAK: Make me beautiful! Please.. :D

Progress, progress.

(sneak peak on my checklist and progress schedule)

I'm freaking happy tengok the progress schedule. Banyak dah settle/booking and checklist pun dah penuh dengan segala tiny weeny notes. Hopefully semua settle before 30th April 'coz us two memang dah discuss and plan nak get it done by that time so that kitaorang boleh fokus buat benda-benda lain macam furnish rumah ke or retreat/escapade or mencantikkan diri before our big day. :)

Owh btw, to all the bride-to-be you guys boleh download the progress schedule and checklist here if you guys nak la. Just helping out. :)

Monday blues.

Pergi sini, pergi sana. Penatnya uruskan hal kahwin. But now us two dah berjaya achieve 90% dalam progress wedding preparation kitaorang. Even kadang-kadang bila lepak dah promise tak nak cerita pasal kahwin pun still akan tersasul-sasul discuss about it. T__T *stress*

Its ok. Sabar, sabar...

Wedding dress creator.

Thanks again Qistin! I terjumpa this marvellous wedding dress creator dekat her blog. Click here for more.

Pomander balls.

I googled around nak cari wedding deco inspirations. And LOTSA BRIDE-TO-BE(S) INCLUDING MYSELF sangat-sangat fond dengan pomander balls. And banyak juga yang I tengok bride-to-be ni share-share link which is very helpful dekat the other bride-to-be yang lain including me. :) Thanks Qistin Fadzin from It's time for Q&A!

So I think I just senaraikan je la the link yang you guys boleh click on untuk dapatkan step-by-step bagi membuat pomander balls ni.

1) DIY Tissue Pomander - Project Wedding

2) a little of this.. a little of that

3) Martha Stewart: pom pom and luminarias - this one nampak sangat simple!

Saya tak sabar nak buat dekat rumah nanti. ^^

Help me out!

I know..I know. Siapa yang tengok post ni mesti macam wondering apahal la this bride ni sibuk nak post about kasut Converse dekat blog wedding dia.

So let me answer first. Encik Rocker memang bukan jenis guy yang kerja office and pakai kasut smart-smart. Sebab office dia pun dekat aircraft hanger and memang diaorang ni stok pakai safety boot je. Therefore I'm planning to find this particular kasut for my hantaran to him. It's a gift from me. And obviously I wanna make him happy by giving him something that he loves. Right?

The problem is, this particular Converse All Star Low Profile ni tak ada dekat Malaysia. Rumours said, dekat Singapore ada. For Encik Rocker punya pasal I memang sanggup pergi Singapore just to get him the shoe. *Love*

Tapi serious shit I dunno where to get it as I'm not a fan of kasut Converse pun (You cerita heels I tahu la. Lol!) Please, please..siapa tahu do let me know. Cheers!

Gift pack.

I want something cute, something simple, and something yang tak burn a hole in my pocket. I'm talking about my wedding gift. Seriously my budget for this sangatlah tak berapa banyak macam orang lain nak buat grand-grand tapi i definitely nak bagi gift pack yang proper-lah. Seriously I sangat suka boxes and gift pack from Ole-Ole Manis and Marryme2u.

**kan best kalau budget for present besar.. *sigh* :(

Hairdo part 2.

Oh teringgal satu lagi. I really like the one yang paling atas belah kanan. ^^

The hair, the do, the hairdo.

I've been telling people about this. I want it to be simple yet classy and elegant. Yes I'm talking about my hairdos. Some people mungkin rasa benda tu kurang penting. But to me the hairdo itself does compliment the whole look. Imagine kalau rambut simple sangat or kusut-kusut tapi baju you sangat va va voom!

Please not me. I don't want that... *freak out*

So I macam googled around, found some pretty cool hairdos tho.

I totally loves this one. Sangat super sweet. Plus dengan make-up Feena yang nude. ^^

If tambah lagi satu classic wedding gown, memang I'll go for this kinda hair.

Nak guna this kinda hair for my songket attire!

This one pun super nice for my songket attire.

Rambang mata already. Tak tahu nak choose yang mana satu. @_@

You've got mail.

That'll be my wedding invitation card. After gazillion of websites I sudah buka and anak mata yang berpusing-pusing sebab tak tahan tengok kad yang tak berkenan di hati or perhaps if terjumpa pun maybe sangat-sangat way outta budget, I finally terjumpa close to my budget and my preference which is dekat kadlawo.com. And total price untuk both sides pun hanya RM800 for 1000 pieces.

Flooded.

Creative juice flowing like mad. I have so many ideas to put on for my wedding dress but yet not-so-many dress I'm gonna use on my W-day. -___-"

Snappy snap.

Us two really love to reminisce our sweet memories. And because of that choosing the right photographer is consider sangat-sangat penting in our wedding. My personal favourite adalah:

Tiffany from Seattle - Oh my. I sangat bercinta tengok her and her husband punya kerja. Plus she loves stilettos like I do! :)

Seriously if Tiffany is in Malaysia I memang simpan duit since teenager lagi untuk hire dia jadi my wedding photographer.

Checklist.

Been revising my checklists like mad. *sigh* Sometimes bila teringat something yang belum add dalam checklist, akan start off buat new checklist balik 'coz once dah conteng-conteng macam buruk je nak simpan lagi. I hate semak-semak thingy. -__-"
