Purple oh purple

As I mentioned earlier it will be purple theme wedding…*bukan sume but this will be the main colour..*

Before this, I do not realize this colour will look different from our eyes view compared to what the camera captured…-not every single purple, but certain hue/ tone of purple

But there’s one time, mak andam said….her previous client have a gold theme colour but it turns to chocolate in the wedding pics….

Then, I start to capture few my wedding things…and I saw that that purple-turns-to blue…wheee….maybe I have wrong lighting setting? Or maybe my camera is just only digital not DSLR?

For example below…the same outfit have 2 different colours….Uhuks that time I start to think do I need to change the theme colours only because of this? But wedding outfit usually have kaler yg terang2, or unless safe side choose white?

*U look blue*

*but u look purple....*

sila tgk btl2 br perasan kot

Even I discussed with my sis, she answered “la kan purple tu biru biji kundang, psl tu kot purple pun leh nmpk mcm biru”…Ha..see?…ada betul jugak kan jawapannya….

Then, I decided to ask my photographer….and the answer “Purple is one the tuff color for most wedding photographers. Insyaallah I'd have no problems in capturing your color…… to make the color to be exactly as it is”

Insya Allah hopefully it will be ok….*again sy x bgtau sape photographer sy…adakah sy ni Siti-Tepung-Biarlah-Rahsia? Not really…but I promise to disclose it very soon! haha masa mula2 bc reply tuff tu blur2 rupanya tough- mr photographer lg canggih guna short form!*

Note : encik tunang sila2 la train untk gambar kawen…..U did well during our Bukit Tinggi Trip…ehem2 sy pun last posing masa tu jugak…

*itik posing dulu*

*purple ini sama dr segi dlm gambar dan pandangan mata*

*L-O-V-E*

*pre -wed??? bukan ni guna tripod..same as well as above pic*

Labour… Cheap labour

Can u imagine while we spend-koyak rabak poket-calculating every single cents..all the way to the wedding day, there is still something cheap?

It is damn cheap for almost half a day work…if you do not believe, kindly check the person wearing bunga dada…ya inilah upah paling murah dan rasuah yg di tayang2kan…BPR leh tangkap ramai org yg terima rasuah…hihihi

Sometimes, I wonder, why must put RM1? , is there any specific symbolic? Not sure…but usually the corsage for all the people that help during the kenduri will end up with RM1 or the most RM5….

Among all the DIY things that I have done, bunga dada yg paling xtau nk buat pe *adakah sy dh terlalu bnyk buat DIY until xde idea….then mcm gini xleh la nk wt biz kawen2..hihi*

So how it will look alike after day by day brain storming…? Sorry guys, I really want to show, but I just realized that I do not snap it – so I owe a lot of stories and pics…

For bride to be yg stress..take ur time to read and smile : )

This book is compilation from the Pesona Pengantin mag..since the very first entry but not up to date, but I believe there will be no 3, 4, and onwards for the compilation…my late mother introduce it..and to be frank bila curi2 baca kat kedai magazine, this column will be the 1^st & must read – xkisahle ada gambar2 berkaitan kahwin yg superb dlm mag tu!

Spa but not Spa Q

After hectic, miserable, super duper busy, the never ending list-to-do.. I believe bride to be reserved a kind of special treatment

It is spa..*oho but then nak rilek2 pun still kena bayar..and it cost u hundred bugs,nothing free even to have a kind of relaxing time okay?*

Where, when? Is it a must? …its all your decision….some even afraid to go to spa, esp it is ur very 1^st time *ehem2 maybe even the last time..?*

I am not a kind of spa at first, until I have a very pain at my back *too hardworking with job??? Or too many figure that not belong to me? Only God knows*

But after searching, and considering that I couldn’t stand with the pain…I decided to go to spa…and maybe about a year I have become customer to Okra Spa….at first I really couldn’t believe the price..but it is true..with RM 49 nett, I can have full body massage plus sauna; *if not mistaken this package is no longer there, as she revised it to back massage plus sauna*

At least I will go once a month, even twice a month….with the good service and cheap!!! Okra offer few package to cater ur needs, and it is operating in a house…..but Okra do not have mandi2 and facial :(

Unfortunately, after super-duper-woofer busy with the preps, I couldn’t have my own time to have spa-session….but I still need to polish, shining, pampering, or at least for some time I do not have to think reben2, dawai2, never ending to-do etc…

There’s a lot of options and packages….but of course bridal package for spa usually starts from RM 300++ for top to toe treatment and it will be 5 hours treatment…..

So considering my last minute plan *Jumaat tghari baru terhegeh2, tp dlm hati nk wt ari Sabtu since itu je ada masa nk slot in* …and I am not able to book Serenity Spa..which cost RM335…so I just make an arrangement with Cendana Spa *thank you ibu Farah..*

I’m not doing bridal package, instead taking some other package with cater my needs…*xmo facial pelik2 since I never do it before, but must have sauna, massage, and pedicure – since kuku2 kaki not in good condition, oho tgk Serenity Spa ada mcm2 wt kat muka makes me afraid…ade kesan2 –ve ke?*

And the result, I’m satisfied.. Alhamdulillah, at least until now my face do not have any –ve reaction from facial! And I really like mandi susu….still have some flowers….*mau saja rasa rendam smpi kecut*

Special note : the spa staff said brides are advised not to have pedicure-manicure a week before their big day since nanti henna/ inai tak melekat!...so pandai2 la adjust spa-session with ur wedding date

Pstt…after spa session I have laksa utara + cendol pulut at the stalls besides Tesco *Makro lama* sila carik di Tesco EXTRA …chedap!!!

Pelamin oh pelamin

Oho baru ada masa mau tulis tentang peterana….

Ngak…adakah peterana itu adalah pelamin…ape2 jelah kan?

Ok…since my “balai raya” wedding..I have searched and look for few design in internet..and berangan session start..haha..

To be frank, I’m not kinda being fussy for everything..as long as simple, cantik..enough…and the most important thing budget…so no fresh flower is not big deal..lgpun bunga tiruan skrg bnyk yg cantek2 kan?

Have a discussion with mak andam *ntah brapa minggu dl, br terhegeh2 nk citer*…

Ok if you notice there is 2 type of kerusi pengantin….Cleopatra style and 1+1….

My dream to have Cleopatra style since I can have some kind of the below posing….*uhuks….adakah sy mau jadi Cleopatra???* Plus guru_muda berposing2 makes me think its better to choose Cleopatra chair

But after that, mak andam + team said that pro and cons of having 1+1 and Cleopatra

Bersanding @ house
1. Space….of course it is not too big..or maybe smaller…so usually pelamin @ house cannot have kain lebih2 ke kanan ke kiri..*faham ke..x faham carik cikgu?*

2. Chair..since the space is there and of course la kat rumah xde kena naik tangga banyak2 – compare ngan balai raya, dewan, hotel..pelamin kan kt stage..so mak andam said for house they can choose any kind design of chair…

Bersanding @ balai raya, dewan, hotel…dan seangkatan dgnya
1. Bigger space, and that’s why usually the design will have kain lebih2 ke kanan, plus all the flower stand, etc

2. Chair…advise to have 1+1, since Cleopatra chair usually pendek..i mean the height of the chair….1+1 usually lebih tinggi and suit with the stage – nmpkla pengantin tinggi kot

Ok…this is what mak andam told and advised me…but on top of that here the pro & cons 1+1 and Cleopatra

1+1
…cannot posing Cleopatra
…have a good back support
…pengantin x duduk terkankang..since space kerusi dh melimitkan
…but still can have posing2..

Cleopatra
…of course can have Cleopatra posing
….Cleopatra have 2 kind..one have back support, another one no support at the back
So for no back support, tendency of having pengantin bongkok ketika duduk
…tendency of pengantin duduk terkankang…since the space is all yours…
…selain posing Cleopatra can have ape jua posing yg diiinginkan

Since my mak andam don’t have Cleopatra yg support, so they advised me to have 1+1…

My choice, hoho wait until my wedding day…

Interview...but not job interview

I owe this...and pretty sure johorean bride 2 be really want to know....

Tada....as mentioned here the interview topic should cover something like this...
But, maybe it depends on the ustaz/ ustazah....maybe simple than mine or almost likely...

UZ : Ape hukumya bacaan doa qunut?
TP : *sengih2...wajib ke?..alamak almost wajib tp xwajib...* Wajib kot *percubaan jawab*
UZ : Jika anda lihat suami anda solat subuh, dia x baca doa qunut, tp dia tahu bacaan cuma tertinggal, dan lps tu dia x buat sujud sahwi kerana dia xhafal bacaan, adakah solatnya sah?

UZ : Jika anda sdiri solat anda tahu bacaan doa qunut dan sujud sahwi, tapi pada suatu hari anda solat dan tertinggal bacaan doa terus sujud dan berniat untk sujud sahwi, tetapi ntah mcm mana anda tertinggal juga sujud sahwi, apa hukumnya solat anda?
TP : Sah
UZ : OK. Hukum bacaan doa qunut ialah....sunat muakkad...ia seperti menghampiri wajib tapi belum wajib, mcm merokok juga hukumnya makruh menhampiri haram tp belum haram
