no more deal with that crazy tailor

baju wan yang ditempah akhirnya selamat diambil. Boleh pun pakcik tu jahit elok2.

cuma timing dia mmg irritating!! dah lah pada asalnya janji 30 Oktober da siap, kita kasi dia extension smpai 20 November, baru siap. Then, dah try tp tak sedap pakai kena la alter. janji siap alter 27nov, tapi 28nov baru siap...bila dia dah siapkan, dia push kita suruh amek hari tu jugak, jgn kita lambat..amboi org tua ni,, dia lambat bukan maen lama sebulan!!!!! kita dia suro dtg amek haritu jugak (mmg takde masalah pun kami nk ambil hari tu, tp ni soal prinsip)

lega apabila tak perlu berurusan lagi dgn dia. dengan ini, pakcik tersebut secara officialnya di BANNED..!

kalau siapa nak pegi tempah baju kat pasar rakyat medan mara, yg byk tailor2 berderet ni, bg tailor lelaki make sure u don't go find pakcik ni..kalau tailor tu pangkat pakcik2, lupakan aja..tp kalau pangkat abg2 je, attitude mereka oke, kerja mereka pun sgt oke. tp sila hantar awal2 sbb ada tendency dorg ni siapkan baju lewat at least seminggu dari tarikh yg dia janji mula2.

food.

perkara makanan bagi majlis disember ni sudah pun selesai. sekarang kena ketepikan duit untuk buat bayaran sahaja. yesssss!!

towards making another decision.

i think it's a lot better to take baju n pelamin from the same person. (i think everybody knows that already, except for me)
reasons?

1. cheaper with package price

2. easier to manage, after pelamin has been set up, i can directly pay everything (the service as a whole) to one person

3. easier to miss & match the pelamin and the theme because the pelamin person will know exactly how my baju looks like and he/she can advise me on that too. Their advise is "highly persuasive" (so the lawyers describe it), since they have been involved in this field a lot..u can choose whether to follow or not, or mere acknowledging is fine too.

deposit untuk butik pengantin 2

mission: finding the best butik pengantin for majlis bertandang at wan's.

malam tadi, selepas bersusah payah masuk ke tempat asing yg tak pernah teringat nak masuk pun, kami (wan&win) berjaya sampai ke satu butik pengantin di puncak jalil (area belakang astro, dkt2 dgn stadium bukit jalil tu).. setelah berbincang, kami suka dgn pelaminnya. kakak owner butik pun bukan main friendly dan pandai persuade kami (tapi sebenarnya, sebelum dtg pun, we have been persuaded through their fb n fotopages, we already judged their work).

so bincang punya bincang, kami puas hati dengan pelaminnya, tapi kami terlambat sikit, tak dpt tempah baju kat dia. tailor dia kata da penuh!.. baju yang da siap pun tak ada warna theme kami.

jadi macam mana? kenalah carik baju kat tempat lain. kos akan meningkat la sebab tak ambil pakej. tapi bila hati da suka, terpaksalah.

deposit belum taruk lagi. within 2 days, we'll put the deposit,..kot?? hehe

hantaran.

kenapa tiba-tiba terasa susah nak buat hiasan dulang hantaran ni?..

si tailor gila!

went to medan mara today, should have picked up wan's baju melayu, but then the tailor didn't do well..!! the baju melayu becomes too big that made wan seemed bigger horizontally..it's oke, although we already gave him 20days extension, and although he made such a gigantic baju melayu, it's oke.
but it's not oke when we complained and asked him to alter the baju melayu, he ticked off..he raised his voice (a bit) to me telling me that i should have called him to the changing room when wan was trying the baju melayu so that he'll know how much to cut! dah la bila wan on the way ke changing room he literally ordered me to follow wan..hamboi, main suro2 pastu tinggi2 suara.haih..lawan tokey nampak?? tu lah some melayu kalau bisnes, customer tak nak jaga. tak dpt recommendation la ngok...hangin tak pasal2 org tua ni..menopause kot? hahaha..
man, that wasn't cool at all..!!! so i gave him until saturday to finish altering, and of course, revenge is coming ur way, kau tunggu yo lah..!!

by the way, we are supposed to stop by masjid negara to pick up the certificate of kursus kahwin that we attended last week, but seriously, we forgot, until it was too late (as in: da malam, org kursus kahwin tu da balik)..hmm..

one month away!

kursus kahwin - when sunday sessions are over,

(this entry is a continuation to the previous entry.)

syukur alhamdulillah, i (i mean "we", wan and i) have finished it..yeaahhhh!!! i am relieved.

my comments are as follows:

- all of the lecturers were interesting, knowledgeable and well experienced. they were NOT some cliche-boring-old-malay-people that can put u to sleep., seriously, provided that u were really listening.

- the food is just fine. i did not have any complaint whatsoever.

one advice:

for those of u who haven't attend this course, u better plan to attend within this month or next because they (orang pejabat agama) said that they want to revise the syllabus that could cause the course to be prolonged. previously it was only a one-day course, now it is a two-day course, maybe next year, the course will be prolonged to three or four days..so u people out there, think about it, it's a one time thing, the certificate is going to be valid forever, so even though u are not planning to get married within this year or next, it wouldn't hurt if u could attend it now.!

kursus kahwin - when saturday sessions are over,

i'm attending kursus kahwin @ masjid negara this week. interesting and informative, but the hours are quite long. the lecturers so far (for saturday sessions) were interesting, knowledgeable and well experienced. can't wait to attend tomorrow's sessions (and get it over with). here are the details that i would want to share:

saturday: 2.30-6.45ptg
sunday: 8.30-6.45ptg
fee: RM80
classroom: oke
lecturers: excellent (saturday sessions)
food: provided, but yet to be tasted since they only serve lunch on sundays. minum ptg untuk sabtu bersifat alakadar
pen&papers: provided
document for registration: photostated i.c. & don't forget to write ur phone number on the paper!

deposit untuk butik pengantin

setiap butik pengantin ada cara bayar masing-masing. Yang sama ialah masa nak buat final payment iaitu right after pelamin dah siap dipasang.

malam tadi, akhirnya dah letak pun deposit untuk tujuan ni sebanyak 20% bagi tarikh di-block-kan oleh butik tersebut. lega rasanya. sebab perkara ni antara perkara besar yang kena diuruskan cepat2 takut butik tu dah tak available pada wedding date nanti. leganya, alhamdulillah.

next mission: letak deposit untuk caterer wan dan butik pengantin wan, these should be done within this week or next week. penat untuk handle both sides of the wedding with wan's support of course, tapi yang best-nya ialah, i get to choose twice for everything.yey!

as of 7 Nov 2010

cincin tunang untuk wan dah beli.
baju nikah dan kasut nikah untuk win dah bagi kak wani.
what's next? kasut nikah wan!
cerewet sungguh wan ni nak pilih kasut dia,. hehe

thought of the day: selama ni kite berpusing-pusing pilih kasut, masuk setiap kedai, tak beli2 pun, lagilah cerewet..baru perasan! ;-P

barang-barang hantaran

barang-barang hantaran yang masih pending:

kasut nikah untuk wan
cincin tunang untuk wan

barang-barang untuk win semua da ready dan boleh dihantar kepada kakak wan, i.e. kak wani untuk tindakan selanjutnya.

hiasan dulang hantaran.

setakat ni, dah belanja RM235.10 untuk hiasan dulang hantaran.
tu semua termasuklah kain alas, polistrin, kertas pembalut polistrin, bunga artificial, ribbon kain, ribbon kertas, gam dll.
mungkin ada beberapa benda lain yang kecil2 yang akan dibeli dalam masa dua tiga hari ni menjadikan kos sebenar mencecah RM250 sahaja.

lebih kurang RM28 setiap dulang. murah kan? hasilnya nampak macam at least RM50 setiap dulang. next time untuk hantaran nikah, nak guna bakul besi gantikan polistrin. kos lagi mahal tapi mesti lagi cantik. eihhhh tak sabarnya. warna untuk hantaran nikah pun da pilih.yeyy!


tempat: beberapa kedai di Nilai, semua house kl, jln tar kl.
budget asal = RM300, RM33 setiap dulang

today, i have to decide.

choices between:

very nice pelamin

+

getting a new dress, gorgeous level is undecided

-

baju persalinan

-

gown

or

so-so pelamin

+

ready made dress, gorgeous level is confirmed high!,

but not the first one to hv ever wear it

+

baju persalinan

+

gown

+

RM500.

nightmare.

due to the heavy thinking about the wedding and the preparation and the engagement, i had a nightmare about it last night.

i dreamed that it was my engagement day, the make-up person arrived late. she arrived exactly at the same time wan's family arrived. so she quickly did her job. By the time she's done, i looked into the mirror and see hideousness of her work that made me cry there and then. my tears ruined my make-up.

by the way, she finished doing my make-up two hours after wan's family finished their conversation. they had even finished their food. then when i was ready, with my already hideous make-up which had been ruined by my tears, wan's mum and sister came upstairs into my room and sarung cincin.

and then i woke up this morning with tears all over my face, few seconds later wan gave me a wake up call like he always does and right away i told him the nightmare that i just had.
fuhhh..thank god it was only a nightmare.

tailor utk baju nikah.

Dekat medan mara ada banyak tailor. dlm banyak-banyak tailor dah pernah cuba hantar dekat 3 tailor je. tiga-tiga best tapi antara 3 ni, satu je yg mmg jahit baju pengantin. baju tunang pun hantar kat yang satu ni, dah siap dah pun. sedap pakai!!! dan taklah mahal sangat. since dah pernah puas hati, nanti nak tempah baju nikah, tempah je kat tempat yang sama.. haritu dah survey dekat wangsa maju/setiawangsa/setapak, banyak tailor baju pengantin, harga memang lebih kurang je. tapi since tak pernah try dengan tailor2 ni, takut pula nak testing-testing..baju nikah pula tu, harga kain pun dah nangis!!!!!

chosen tailor's quality:
comfortability.punctuality.trustworthy.altering-fitting-enability..i'm satisfied.

kalau baju tak muat..

ada 2 pilihan:

1. try to slim down, a bit

atau

2. pegi alter baju tu..?

p/s: sedih!

with a little support, i can stand up on my own.!!!

someone asked me, when i am going to get married, will i:

1. give my father rm30k (or any reasonable amount) and ask him to organize the event; or
2. ask him to organize, without even giving him the money.

my answer was: NEITHER!

i will not give my father the money and i will not ask him to organize the event for me because i will do it on my own. i will only ask for his support and tiny favours like finding me a jurunikah, invite all jemaah surau and some neighbours personally to the event, asking for free advice and things like that. he (that someone) has the idea that the children will only tell their father that they want to get married on certain date and expect the father to handle everything,.from ordering the food from the caterer, of course the father is expected to pay for it, the canopy etc. etc. to the small small things.

well, i choose to organize it on my own as i wish not to burden my father and mother with the preparation and all. it is enough for them to be there throughout the process, supporting me physically, emotionally, in terms of ideas and opinions and i don't expect financial support, seriously (not that i don't hope for it, i do). pardon me dear someone, don't assume that every "children" can't stand up on their own, because they can, but only when they want to.

persiapan?? OTW!

so far persiapan utk disember ni da makin siap..tinggal baju belum ambil, hantaran tengah gubah..selepas tu bley goyang kaki tunggu je tarikh tu sampai,,

pelik pulak rasanya..time utk prepare majlis tunang bukan main lama..padahal, masa utk prepare majlis sanding terpendek sangat pulak.sempat.sempat..insyaallah.
