Wedding Updates!

76 days to go till I marry my best friend!


Updates!


1. Make up artists - Yes, for all three receptions, I've booked my MUAs and I'm pretty satisfied with my choices. Asked opinions from many sides, especially those who has worked and used the MUAs' services before. It's true what every ex- B2B said that you need to book your MUA at least 6 months before. I did mine quite late!

2. Attires - Back and forth from Jakel to Jakarta, and compared the prices. Of course when you get yours in Jakarta, it is much much cheaper (like 5 times cheaper) but since they are cheap, there are some that the quality can be disputed. But, there are places in Jakarta that sell the best of best.. Even Pak Abu and Anna Avantie bought from them and prices again.. 3 to 5 times cheaper la. After all, Jakarta will always be the land of laces. So for that, my dress for reception has been confirmed and 50% deposit has been paid. Phew. Lega rasa tau setengah beban sudah hilang. Designs have been finalized with the designers! Excited!

3. Photographer - I got what I want but still need to see the team soon.

4. Videographer - Met and sealed. Gave songs and ideas. I know I'm going to love it.

5. Hantaran - Settled all except for my handbag! Pfft. Sirih junjung, cake, chocolates have been ordered. 

6. Tray bearers - Distributed the materials. I'm pretty sure all is in good hands.

7. Sound system - Need help! Anyone?

8. Cake - Ordered.


9. Entertainment - Booked but have yet to choose the songs! I think I made a pretty good choice? Karaoke for malam berinai. 

10. Emcee- Both functions covered. Mom is handling it.

11. Invitations cards - Masih pening. Design ada, but have yet to see the final outcome.

12. Guest list - Belom finalized!

13. Corsages - I love you Zaza! By Bungaa of course!

14. Legal docs - Zaim is doing his at the moment. Will be in my hands next week. HIV test next week.

15. Spa - I've been going to Martha Tilaar Jakarta but can't go there again for the sake right? So, I've decided to continue my spa session here. Will ask friends for recommendations.

16. Favours - 90% done. My dad has been really supportive driving me around to Chow Kit area for cheap containers and mind you, the quality pun ok. Found VIP's gift and I'm pretty certain with the idea. Love it. 'Thank You' tags are done by Dalia of PrettyLittleThingsKL.

17. Decorations - Mom's choice and I think 80% of it has been finalized. Bunga manggar dah order. 

18. Kompang - Not yet!!!

Goodness. Wedding is a hard work. Stressful at times but I'm enjoying every seconds of the process. ;)


More to updates!

Manipedi Treat from Nadia Bakly

On a glorious Sunday evening, Paan brought us (the Guangzhao qualifiers) for a treat of manipedi at Mont Kiara and it was really nice to actually discuss about PB and business while pampering ourselves. Who says this business is stressful?

Thank You Paan for the treat! ;)


The girls before manipedi 

 Paan, who has been kind and supportive all these times. A mother of a boy (macam anak dara lagi) with five figures income after a year of doing this business. Not bad eh? It's all about determination and it is all for her son!

Nadia Suhaimi, my desk partner in Standard 5 in Kampung Tunku and who would have known now that we are business partner! Alhamdulillah. She's a super smart crazy auditor at EY, who has been doing PB business for 5 good months earning close to 5 figures. She has been really helpful and so so pandai on strategizing and not kedekut at all to share all the knowledge she has. 

I've known Rang through Nadia and she's also a crazy-ass auditor in Schlumberger. (That mighty Oil and Gas company that earns millions a day tu). She's going to be my roomie in Guangzhao and I bet our journey is going to be whacko with her around.

If only PB has face and neck nipper! It's so hard to lose the extra fat at that area!

Can't wait for Guangzhao!

I Miss London

London. A place where I used to go every other weekends. 

Jangan panic. Not go every weekends from KL (gile ke?) but every other weekends from West Midlands, a place I called home two years ago.  The journey from Birmingham to London takes 1 and 1/2 hour.

OMG! Has it been two years? So cepattt.. Sigh. Rindu nyaaa..

My housemate and I (Sheena), whenever we are bored with our lives in Brum, we would head out and take the first (cheapest) train from Birmingham Moor Street station to London Marylebone (via Chiltern Train). Of course we prefer the fast Virgin Train which will take us straight to Euston Train station in just an hour, but that's only ... when we have extra to spend. Those were the days when every penny counts. Hahah.

The things we did in London:

1) The Cranberries concert at Royal Albert Hall. OMG that was one hell of an experience. I never thought I ever watched this band up close and personal. They are like... the bomb. 'Linger', 'Zombie', 'When you're gone' and many more. Best gileee.



2) If we are ever in London on Saturday, we never failed to singgah Portobello Market (near Notting Hill) just because. Before we depart back to Brum, we just had to indulge ourselves at least for a cuppa of Red Velvet from Hummingbird. Sedapnya tidak la terkata. The soft and moist texture of the cake and the sinful creamy cream cheese. Glory glorrrrryy. Apart from Hummingbird, there are many many more things to do at Portobello. Vintage lovers, say hello to your world!




3) During our depression days, and when we missed Malaysia so so much, the food, the kekecohan of being around Malaysian people,    we just loved going to Malaysian Hall cafeteria. We were there just to eat their roti canai (breakfast), Sup ekor and sambal belacan (lunch) and have their scrumptious teh tarik (supper). A lot of people said that Malaysian Hall's food sucks and all that, but I just don't care. I felt safe there and in a way, it does felt like home. 

It may sound..what? Sup ekor? Teh tarik? The little things that we love.

Zaman students at MSD (Malaysian Student Department)

4) Harrods. Should I elaborate?

5) Oxford Street. I miss Selfridges (of course!), my favourites which are H&M, Zara and..... Primark. Nothing beats Primark's leggings. 

6)Museums and art galleries. London has the best museums in the world and we've only managed to see the British Museum and Tate Modern. The National Gallery, National History Museum, etc??

Andy Warhol exhibition at Tate Modern

7) West End! I've seen Wicked, Chicago and The Legally Blonde, but the best I've seen was Wicked of course. I cried buckets kot. Don't mind watching it again. But Billy Elliot and The Lion King are next in my list.








There are many many more of London's must-do and must-see pictures that I have in my laptop but those are memories and it will be kept as memories. Cute English cafes that serves original English scones with clotted cream, tea, the fish and chip, Camden town, Borough market, frozen yoghurt, smoked salmon and egg benedict from Patisserie Vallerie, yada yada yada. Banyak sangat la and it won't do any justice if you don't try all of these yourself. 


Which you can come with me next year FOR FREE. 
Yes, ladies and gentlemen. In 2013 we are going to London and Paris for F.R.E.E! 
Mr. Z and I insya Allah! 

Want to know how you can go for FREE?

I got this from Nadia Bakly, my great mentor in PB business and I just have to agree what she said. We have many great testimonials out there as evidence that PB is worth to buy corset. Whether you want it or not. 



This is some of the responses when talking about PB:
1) "My wife/ girlfriend dah kurus la, tak payah pakai PB" 
2) "That super expensive corset? It's okay, I'll just stick to brand X/Y"
3) "I'm perfectly healthy. Thank you very much"
4) "It's so uncomfortable. I will not be able to move fast if I wear corset"

..........
