Lazy mode

I've been slacking this past weeks. I'm really lazy to blog ;p
There's really nothing to write, my life as a full time housewife is so boring.

Daily Routine

7am - Wake up & prepare food for my husband
8am - Load all my dramas & sleep (but lately I'm stuck at Cafe World in Facebook, so no sleep..just
straight all out playing masak2 haha)
3pm - Start cooking for dinner
5.30pm - Makan time
11pm - Sleep

The only time that I go out is weekends to the butcher and the market. The journey is so long & it's tiring to do the same thing every week. I need a bigger fridge!!!

Enough with the ramblings, I shall post more pics later.
Till then, I shall keep cooking at my Kafe ala` Dina ;)

FIRST

Can't believe it's been a month already! We had a lovely night on the 26th celebrating our first month together ;)

My wedding 26/09/09

I've been ignoring my blog since I've gotten married. Been so busy with the wedding and the honeymoon and also moving to Melbourne. Yes, I'm in Melbourne already for more than a week. Life as a non-working housewife is so boring! Nevertheless, I shall try to be a good housewife ehehe. Anyways, this entry will be about the details of my lovely lovely wedding on the 26/09/09. My nikah started at 10.30am on Saturday and the reception was around 8.30pm. Me & my husband couldn't really remember what went on that day. The day passed us so fast, I'm still waiting for my pictures and videos so that I can remember what actually happened! ehhe
Syukur Alhamdulillah, after more than 6 months planning for it, my wedding went real smooth & the best part was everyone enjoyed themselves ;)


By the way, I had my tea ceremony done on the 25th, Friday since I'm half chinese and my aunties insisted on having it. No harm were caused as the couple will only receive jewelries & lots & lots of angpow's. But, before the bridegroom can enter the house, the bride's girlfriends or 'jie mui' will usually come out with a few games to test the groom. My sister's friends played 4 games. Fahmi kena mkn 4 flavors that is manis, masam, masin, pedas ehhehe. Kena minum 4 flavors juga, then kena nyanyi (which he gladly passed it to Najwa, lovely voice though) & kena cerita the story how he proposed ehehe.
If you don't know about the chinese tea ceremony, i'll explain more.
According to Wikipedia,

In the traditional Chinese marriage ceremony, both the bride and groom kneel in front of their parents and serve them tea. That is a way to express their gratitude. The parents will usually drink a small portion of the tea and then give them a red envelope, which symbolizes good luck.

You start by offering the tea to the oldest person in the family, which in my case my 'gong gong' or grandfather. Then dah habis bagi minum tea, it was my turn to give angpow's to budak2 younger than me.

So many things to write and so many pictures to show (i'm still waiting for the official wedding pictures). Since I'm married now, i need to cook for my husband before he comes home ehehhe. That's all for now, i'll shall continue posting more pictures later on. I'm glad all of my friend's who came to my wedding enjoyed it as much as I did! Thanks you all ;)
Oh, and special mention to Nini (my brother's friend) who did such an amazing job on my hantaran, bunga pahar & bunga telur!! and also cherish flowers who literally saved my wedding!! Heidi did such an amazing job in decorating flowers for my reception!!!


p/s: I would NOT recommend to anyone & everyone in Ipoh to take D'Aida Bridal as your pelamin decorator, well if you pilih je apa yg ada dlm photoalbum dia ok. but NOT if you want something BIG & EXTRAVAGANT! i had a TERRIBLE & MISERABLE experience with them both nikah & reception. a day before my event, diaorg boleh tutup phone & buat tak tau jer. next time jgn cakap besar if you can't do it! pastu dah sound, tolak salah pada pekerja..so typical malay la! i still tak puas hati sampai sekarang!

It's official!

Yes! I'm married! I'm CIK puan now ;(
Can't believe it after a VERY, EXTREMELY stressed few months, finally semua dah selesai. Syukur alhamdulillah, everything went really well. Except that nobody knew that all of us were still stressed until 8pm! ehehhe anyways, I'm off to Muar for the other reception. Will put up some pics soon or after my honeymoon ;)

Membaca Amalan Mulia...

Lately I've been buying malay books to read. You know when you feel like reading, mesti nak beli byk2 baca..then end up satu pun tak baca ehehehe..so far i dah baca 2, so kena usaha lebih la utk selak2 beratus2 page ehehe..

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!



Selamat Hari Merdeka yg ke-52, Malaysia ;)

27 days...

It's been a very tiring week! Went to KL on wednesday & I got back on Friday. Intense shopping for barang hantaran. Never in my life that I shopped for 12 hours straight!! dah la puasa plus flu ;(

My day started with a trip to the jeweller to get my ring, ring didn't fit so need to make a new ring with 15 more diamonds to be added hehehe! Then went to Rizalman to get my pengapit's kain. Btw, Rizalman's newly renovated first floor is so cantek! Can't wait to do my fitting on the 10th.

We then made our way to MO Outlet. For your info, this Melium Outlet has all the brands that Melium Group carries.. for discounted prices, usually half the price from the original price. You can get real good bargain here, worth taking a trip to! Brands available eg Emilio Pucci, Tod's, stuart Weitzman, Furla and many more!

We then headed straight to KLCC & I bought 1 kaftan for my tea ceremony & 1 baju kurung for Raya from Ang Eng. It's chiffon and very comfy.

Our legs were so sore by now & our minds weren't thinking straight, nevertheless we drove to Pavilion to get my watch! yeayy!! Bad decision to leave KL at 5pm. It was raining & the traffic was so heavy. Took us 2 hours something to reach OU!!!!!!!
Luckily we managed to sampai & berbuka di BBQ Chicken, sedapp..





To all my friends, my wedding card is coming soon into your postbox. Do send back to me the RSVP card for attendance confirmation ;)

One. Uno. Satu.하나

Today is exactly ONE more month before my wedding. I'm so nervous, mcm2 feeling ada..stress, nervous, scared semua ada..if anyone can give me advices on how and what should I feel before kahwin ;(




This week had a BIG progress in my preparation. Bought my souvenirs for nikah, goodie bags, bunga manggar and bunga pahar for Muar. There's purple colour, orange colour, white colour, sooo colourful ehehe

Today I'll be going to KL to do a LOT of things. First, to do fitting for my baju utk Muar's reception then will be collecting my cards later tonight. Feeling so anxious whether I'll fit the baju & how my card will turn out to be!!!

Tomorrow will be a hectic day, need to get all my barang hantaran and pick up my ringss yeayy!!
Hopefully I'll be able to settle a lot of things in KL. Can't wait to shop for baju raya yeayyy!!!

I'm ready to go right now, give me the green light, give me just one night ehehhee

Stressed!!

I'm so stressed!!! This is how i feel!




I've been unhappy, so stressed up and always end up...



If only for ONE DAY I can...

Sunway Pyramid

I haven't been to Sunway Pyramid since I was in High School, i think. It's been soooooooooo long. So on Friday after the Man Utd training, I went to Sunway Pyramid to meet my girls. Majidah & Aizat, Alida, newly wed couple Rafiza & Khasif pun ada. Kitaorg makan kat Thai-Thai restaurant. It was ok. It's been so long since we all get to meet and talk. Apparently Majidah is going for her kursus kahwin the next day and I was told she & Aizat are planning to get married on the 1st January, 2010 ehehhehehehehe. I hope I can make it home for the wedding. I'm a bit sad with the fact that I won't be seeing my friends after I get married, boohooo! Anyways, it was nice seeing all of them ;)..oh btw Rafiza & Alida are colleagues at SMIDEC. how lucky that they can work in the same department ehehhe



On Sunday, I went back again to Pyramid with my mom and sister since they haven't been there. Had our breakfast at Pappa Rich. The food is okay. I thought the new Pyramid is really nice, so many shops. I wouldn't mind going again ehehe










Came across this signboard at the Asian Avenue. Can't help to take a picture of it. 'The hottest time of the day - 2pm'. Just like the hot Korean group - 2PM ehehehhe




Later that evening, I took a trip to my favourite mall in KL, Pavilion ehehhe. I went to eat korean food at the food republic. So kenyang ;)

GLORY GLORY MAN UTD!

Glory, glory, Man United,
Glory, glory, Man United,
Glory, glory, Man United,
And the reds go marching on, on, on.
Just like the Busby Babes in Days gone by
We'll keep the Red Flags flying high
You've got to see yourself from far and wide
You've got to hear the masses sing with pride
United! Man United!

I went to see the Manchester United vs Malaysia XI on Saturday, 18th July 2009. A bit dissapointed that I couldn't go for the Monday's rematch but I heard there it was a bit boring, so yeay!!!

Drove to KL on Friday and went straight to National Stadium Bukit Jalil for the training. It was quite packed with red devils, around 40,ooo (estimated in newspaper). Sat in the stadium around 4.30pm, and was puzzled why has Team Malaysia started training. They were supposed to start at 6.30pm. I think it was a scam so that everyone who come earlier to watch man utd trains had to see Malaysian team first ehhehe







On Saturday, started my journey to the stadium around 3pm. Man, the place was packed! couldn't find a parking spot so went further up to Carrefour area and managed to get a parking spot by the road side. Had to walk for 20 mins i reckoned in blazing hot weather! My seat was at the green gate, the lower level were all full by 4.30pm!!! heard that some crazy fans waited since morning ehehe. Had to settle with seat at the upper level, with direct sunlight for 2 hours!!! PANAS NAK MAMPOS! ehhee

Nevertheless it was a good seat as i could see the players quite clearly. It was a good game and the best was the atmosphere. So many red devils (some even painted their whole body red!) so many funny banner & placards. Amri Yahyah goals were really the highlight of the game!!! Malaysia Boleh!!!

This was definitely highlight of the year (maybe my wedding will top it off ehehhee). Never dreamed of seeing Man Utd live!!! Next stop, Old Trafford!!

























Pictures below are taken from the Internet, credit to whoever owns it, cheers ;)

Phewwww

I just came back from KL to settle some things for my wedding. Dah tgk card, souvenir, my photographer & some hantaran stuffs. Baru rasa ada progresss, kurang dah paranoid ehhee. Macam biasa in KL we all mesti makan byk. We went a Korean restaurant in Bangsar called Bong Ga (Halal). I thought the food was ok la but portion is too little but you can keep refilling the side dishes. What a tiring week, i need to rest!





I just bought my honeymoon tickets to Bali!!! Last day of promotion MAS Airlines ehehe. Can't wait to do nothing for 5 days ;)

Ouchhhhh!!

Finally my little project ended painfully yesterday. For 5 excruciating, awful days, I had to do the beads for my hantaran. Doesn't sound hard, potong dawai, masuk dawai & pintal dawai. It's really hard work! I cut my hand, had numb fingers for few days & my back hurt until now. Shall fully recover in KL with A LOT of shopping therapy ;)
I'm glad it's finally over! Now handing it to the pro to turn it to beautiful flowers ;)
