Falling into Place.

Hi Girls!!!! *wave hands!! Looks like its such a long time since I have done justice to this blog of mine...lots of things have been going on. Lots of extra panadols have been te-lan. Phew!!

Anyhoo..updates updates!! We finally settled on our Caterer!! Yes! Yes! Yahooooooo!!! And we have decided not to get the initial "preferred" caterer due to some issues that we as a family have both agreed on. Both sides have agreed not to spend a single cent on a caterer who are not willing to spend some flexible time discussing with us for Our Big Day although appointment has been made  2 weeks in advance but last minute have to come by a certain time and decide everything in like 1.5-2 hours. Sorry!!! Not my kind of deal!! Honestly speaking from my heart, both sides are giving you the business and the least you could do is fulfill your promise and not pressurizing us to suit with your timings. This is not a few dollars kind of contract deals. We are talking about giving caterers the profit of a 4500-5000pax guest list. If they cant do it, I can assure you lots of caterers are more willing to do it. 

It was 90% confirmed that we both sides would engage this same caterer but obviously 10% wins the vote!! Honestly, both our parents are very particular and want the best (who doesnt right?) as it is their first time doing a  Walimah and basically the last time for my parents. And to think we get this kind of sub-standard treatment from a caterer, Im sorry ah geng!! Lu Boleh Blah!!! Come to think of it, it's your lost not ours. And we wouldnt want to waste our hard earn money on people who is not willing to be flexible. Basically, we have to so-called many at times follow their schedule which is difficult as we are all working adults so kalau tak boleh sikit lebih kurang dan kau rasa kau pon da banyak pelanggan jadi tak perlu kitorang...SO BE IT!!!! 

And to tell you the truth, the food standard pon dah drop and it makes us even worried to engaged them. Sigh...BUT BUT BUT!!!

Both parties have already chosen our own individual caterers! Alhamdullilah! For my side (Bride), we will be engaging my own Family caterer  who happens to cook superb Nasi Briyani!! And the reason we couldnt get them in the first place is because they are always fully book!! So luckily, we have shifted our dates to Jan 2014 and they also havent open up their dates...so Off like a Soaring Eagle my mum swop and chope them down!! Fuhhh!!! Imagine, we ask initially ask a slot for Nov 2013 waaaaaaaay back in Jan 2012 and they say they are fully book for all weekends. Superbly Popular.....Alright, Im not good with names and I honestly dont know what do people call them...from a kid I just call them Nyai Halus and Tok Mail so pardon me...will check it out once im not so ignorant anymore. Hahahhaha!!!

And for Beau's Side (Groom), we have engaged Ainon HS Events and Catering and she is SUPERB la dey!! One thing i know her house looks like a beautiful showroom out of from a Laura Ashley kind of Magazine. And she was so accomodating, patient, and payment wise pon okay. Price was reasonable and affordable. She even did Nity Baizura aka Dj Ria Wedding...Pardon me...I dont listen to Ria and I think her name is such.And we got a complimentary 10 flavoured drinks!! Aku suka!! Walaupon aku tau...mugkin tak dapat rasa! So I shamelessly asked my Future MIL to request them to serve 10 cups of flavoured drinks on our bridal table. heeeheee.....

And, she gave us interesting scope of new dishes and menus...unique ones that people will be craving for more!! Other than that, she gave us advice that it is more wise to do at a CC so we are confirming on that as well.

So....Alhamdullilah, in return In Shaa Allah, we get GOOD QUALITY VENDORS.

Other than that, we are meeting up with Jentayu Gallery soon on next Friday to check out their invitation cards. Mum really wants everything to be done by them. Will be a good idea to bring Future MIL as well since I know Jentayu is sooooooooo her taste.

And and......Finally!! We have so called chope BlissPhotocinema Videographer...Rizal!! I loike!! I was so scared that he got chope-ed already on my date. Not my fault right....every BTB in Singapore seems to be Kiasu and I dont want to lose out!! So yaaaaaaaayyy-neesss and Congrats to him n wife also for tying the knot last weekend!! Looking forward to meet and discuss with him after the 15th!! Weeeeeeee!!!

Hmmmm...other than that, will be busy planning and recce-ing for our pre-wedding gowns suits dress pants props for our pre-wedding photo session in June!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaaaarrrggghhh!!! Madness!! Honestly, there are so many themes that I wanted EXCEPT for ONE THAT HAS A PICNIC BASKET AND ME HOLDING A BOOK AND BEAU TRYING TO LOOK CUTE HOLDING BALLOONS...

Nope. Sorry. Not Us. 

I keep seeing photos like that and it looks all the same!!! 
There is always helium.red.balloons.flyingpose.picnicbasket.red.white.chequered.mat. errrrr.......

Also, will be meeting our Andaman people within that month and have an indoor photoshoot or maybe not. I dont know. Depends.

So other than going Prada Shopping with my Future MIL (yes...she is one hip fashionista Mak-Chic!) life has been great to us.....been busy...been crazy.one hell of a rollercoaster.
