Alhamdullilah...Everything went smoothly yesterday. Though we waited for few hours just because I am that superbly kiasu and thought can jump queue...hahahaha...and we waited and waited for 3 long hours sitting and looking at the plasma screen and praying that our wanted unit would not be "chope-ed" by others. 

We finally got the unit and block we wanted. Exactly "SMACK" right in front of the beautiful river bay. Weeeeee!!! No blocking...No Noisy playground downstairs...Got the Beautiful bay windows for the Master Bedroom...Ya Allah!! I can cry.....seriously I do... knowing what happens from the last few weeks really challenge us both. Challenge after many challenges come our way but Alhamdullilah...my beaus stick to me and helped me in every possible way he can knowing that I didnt get my July pay....

WHY??? Because the bloody #$%$%^^#&&%@ effed-up bank closed my account without my knowledge for no good bloody reason. There was a discrepancy on their side and guess what? The "Unlucky" Me gets the shite.

But whatever past is past but to the officer who ask my account to be closed. Fuck You and You and You. I wish the same thing X 1000000000 will happen to you soon and look where can you go for help.

But negative things aside.....Im soooooooooooooooooooooo happy!!!! Im Soooooo Excited!!!!
Our House. Our Beautiful House.
Finally a Haven...me and Beau really looking forward to.

His Tiffany Bride.

I'm just soooo HAPPPY to call myself a Tiffany Bride.

Not the normal Lee Hwa...SK...Watever nots...BUT a TIFFANY BRIDE!!!
Class or What????? Aaaaahhh!!!

Okay so here is the updates!!

After so much recce-ing we decided to pick the following companies for our BIG DAY:

1) Caterer: 90% Confirm Amani Weddings

The BOSS and LADYBOSS are just superbly nice fellows. We took them for our Engagement and the service? Claaaasssss. It feels like your own family members cooking for you as the services they rendered are just simply wonderful. They pay attention to details...flexible on payments and they whole entourage are just really warm friendly people.

2) Decor: Jentayu Gallery!!!!!!!! Can I say it one more time???? Its JENTAYU GALLERY BABES!!!!

Since like 2008...I've been targetting to get them to decor for my wedding. YES. Price wise are upscale-ish but Me and Beau just cant help to gawk and gawk at their collections. So, we have already booked them during the recent Jentayu Gallery Event. It wasnt intended...on my part. Dear Beau..as usual surprise ME.
Our idea was to just enquire and when Beau ask how is the payment mode and after allllll the explanation...he ask me to pick the Dias that I like and BAMM!!!! he throw in the $$$$$ Cash!!! Cool or What??? Sometimes with all these things he does....he could be like those Upper Class Mafia. Just throw the $$$ and no questions asked.

COOL SHIT OR WHAT??!!!!!! I could Kiss him there and then.

I still remembered the feeling when we actually fill in the Booking form. It was all so sudden and surreal. And I remembered that I say to him...." Is this true???? Are we really booking Jentayu???!!" And he said....Yes Baby...den he gave that stupid smile that melts my knees and all the other intestines in the tummy"......sweeeeet nyerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

And as crazy as it is....he wanted to sign up for the Atelier Package which cost $10K plus plus...and that is when I pulled the handbrake and I said Nope....dont be too hasty. If other girls, Im sure they would just go ahead with it.

3) Make-up Artist: Zul Radi Bridal Couture

This guy is just super cool and so low profile. I LOVE LOVE LOVE his works. Yes, initially we wanted somebody else BUT when I eventually met the so-called first choice....MELUAT GILER SIAK!!!

Firstly, its the way they look at me up and down. I shall not name the people ah but they are just a couple of Mak Nyah that turns me OFF the first time I talk to them personally. Well...at least one of them are not that bad. They look at my bag...my watch..my shoes and waaahh wahhh wahhh!! Nak kena tanyer kaper bag aku LV...jam aku Rolex and my shoes happens to be a ferragamo. MUST ASK AH??? Materialistic siak korang!! I ask to enquire bout YOUR SERVICE not you enquiring bout my own personal fashion items.

I hate it. Especially when they are pressurizing me to PAY AND PAY and Close the Deal cepat cepat. Hard selling nampak??!!! Even Bestie was quite pissed off. So at last we conclude...tak payar sua engage korang..dah lah mahal...prangai typical bitchy mak nyah and cock up first impression PLUS if the so-called boss make up nak kena tambah $700?!!!!! I dont mind paying if you are giving me a Top of the World service cos Im PAYING!! But $700?? Apa yang bagus sangat pasal korang nyer make-up to think back??? Pay $700..korang boleh buat muka aku macam Angelina Jolie ke Megan Fox kaper???!!!
NOT WORTH IT.

Coincidentally, one of my dance instructors recommended Zul Radi Bridal Couture. And, when we met him for the first time...Boyyyyyy!!! was he friendly and nice and just superbly HUMBLE. The warmth and hospitality that the whole staff gave us was just amazing and this is the kind of service that I'm looking for....And furthermore, he is more established and held his own Pageant. Also, he NEVER CHARGE ME EXTRA when I requested him to do the make-up!!!! Cool Kan???

And not to mention....he is the ONLY One that asked what theme would I like cos he said he might even create New outfits for me!!! Me!!!! And payment wise pon flexible...tak MEMAKSA!!!
So...I didnt wait any longer and just sign up and pay the deposit on the spot.

Suma Beres.

Alhamdullilah. Everything that we wanted and hope for seems to flow just fine. Ameen Ya Rabbal Al Ameen.
Syukran Ya Allah.


Save the Date.

After endless struggles, worries, dissappointment...Our Prayers was finally answered. Dear beau finally gotten the job that he likes. Really pray to Allah S.W.T for his "Longevity" in the service. To the ones who rejected my man just because his Diploma is so called irrelevant....my middle finger is up and waving in your face!! FUCK U to You and You and You.

Apologies for the vulgarities. Its just a frustration that seems to be bottling up inside for a long long veryyyy long time.

So yay!!! Updates!! Updates!! Updates!!!

We set our Wedding Date!!! Nope...Its not this year...nope!! Not next year either....its gonna be

S.A.V.E THE D.A.T.E

11th January 2014

Why it took so long you say?? BECAUSE certain 2013 brides are super bloody kiasu and snapped up the vendors that I wanted for our 2013 date. And being superbly concious of details....we decided to postphone a month more so that we could get all the companies we wanted. And NOPE!! we are not those "cincai bocai" type of people who could just grab whatever caterer or Make-up Artiste...just because they have slots....

I'm not arrogant or proud to be saying I want to have a BIG Fat Grande wedding...and I don't want to be a hypocrite to say I want to do it small n "ala kadar"...I HATE it when people say that. In my opinion, kalau kau asek cakap nak buat ala kadar den lebih baik jangan buat langsung....yess yess yeedee yaaadaa...money is more important after the marriage tapi kalau da plan mcm nak buat kahwin cowboy everything nak minimize den I dont think there is so much memory to be shared.

To me...this is a Walimatulurus...meaning that majlis nak kena sempurna dan memuaskan pihak yang dijemput. Kalau suma nak budget sana sini pon susah jugak. Not say that we need to splurge but I've been to weddings whereby the food only has two lauk....isnt that sad.

What I'm trying to say is...me and beau are not the type to rush into things. We like to do things the proper way and make sure we really fulfilled our guests needs. Yes, there will always be things that "Makcik Quarters" will say but if we know that we've done our best to provide den our conscience is cleared.

There are also other factors to consider. There are only certain limited months in 2013 that we can do our wedding. Must consider the Ramadhan Month...Hari raya....and school holidays!! Why?!!! Because of my career...i'm teaching and when it's the holidays..you cant invite your colleagues cause there are always at other ends of the earth. So march..june...sept..nov and dec is OUT!!

So there we go......1.5 Years before I can finally marry my Bestfriend.
