The GREAT Outdoors.

Hello Preetay Ladies!! 

So, Im uber-ly excited that our outdoor pre-wedding photoshoot is coming soon!!! Yippee yayy!! Walaupon berjerebu segala, tidak mengapa, spirits Ku tak dampen langsung. Kalau korang paham, bagus laa, kalau tak baca la ayat tu berulang kali yerr. 

We met with Syarfique from Blissphotocinema on the 16th June(Sunday), naseb baik la member takde kerja kahwin and to think that both of us just touch down on that day before the meetup.

So, we discussed on the possible looks that we wanted for our photoshoot. Beau agrees with my idea that we want to incorporate fashion elements in it. Truth to be said, kalau pasal benda lawa melawa gini, memang kepala otak dia bergeliga and mesti he agree and that is why I love him so much! Mwahh!! Nothing in this world can keep up my fashion forward taste other than him who I must say jaga penampilan diri lebih dari average kaum Hawa yerrr..hawa hawa semua di luar sana!!

And finally, we met up with our favourite photographer to date at Starbucks at Paragon. Discuss for about an hour on the looks and places that we wanted.

Here are the places that we actually thought of and have recce-ed plus one other "super secret" location:

Credits to the photographers for the above pictures. I do not know who you guys are but you do take awesome pictures. I only found this through Google.com.

And anyhoooo, this are the places that me and besties loved to hang out ever since our historical Cafe del mar da padam!!! 

So hopefully, there is not much changes as these Wak Jawa's all main bakar bakar hutan menyusahkan hidop aku nak amek gambar segala semua.

Till then, more updates coming soon!

Toodles!

Chin down. Nose to Nose. Stay. SNAP!

Ola beautiful Ladies!!! Guess you all are under the pressure from all this Haze disturbance but no worries. Let's just pray that all this will be over soon and we look forward to finally breathing the fresh air we once forgot to be thankful for! *sigh

Untuk orang-orang yg bakar hutan pokok monyet segala...kalau aku dapat tahu saper korang..aku bako korang jer!!! Da la aku ader case semput...suka hati nenek datuk korang main bakar-bakar plak la yer...and not to mention the irrits who have to act like live forecast weatherbee on FB, status-ing every bloody minute on the current PSI, eh helllo! kita boleh tengok tv sendiri la ehh...hmmpf!!

Anyways despite the horrible horrible PSI of 300, Beau took the day off on Thursday and Friday to have our both indoor and outdoor photoshoot session with two different wedding vendor of ours.

For studio, it would be the Awesome Master Zul Radi himself who will be dolling me up. This indoor photoshoot is part of our 6 outfits wedding package. So, instead of having the photoshoot as post wedding, we decided to have it as our pre-wedding instead so that we could feature the awesome photos beside our wedding dias on our BIG DAY! weee!! Cos, truthfully akak sebok eh lepas wedding nak concentrate on honeymoon segala and da la aku penat penat naik turon posing atas pelamin, so might as well get it over and done with.

For outdoor photoshoot, we have engaged Syarfique from the ever famous Blissphotocinema to capture our moments in Love. More detailson the outdoor shoot coming up soon.

As for now yer kengkawan, lets hocus pocus on the indoor photoshoot at the Awesome Master Zul Radi studio at Vertex Ubi. I was thinking maybe we need to travel to another place for the shoot after the makeup is done but ohh tidak tidak!! Rupanya, studio dia besar gila la dey!! Banyak hidden rooms! Woohooo!!!

So after doing the makeup yang setebal 3 inci macam kasut wedges mak aku, I was like thinking SHITE!! Ni muka da macam tepong gomak..kalau kat gambar nanti mcm mana...putih macam geng Edward Cullen takper...jgn muka putih macam Hantu Mak Limah balik Australia! Hahahhahahha...

However, walaupon cara  member make up fast and furious segala...pap puup papp!! da jadik..the end result is flawless...I had 2 major bitchy pimples yang tetiba mood dorang nak klua nak ikot aku masok dalam gambar jugak...haizzz

TE-TA-PI kakak kakak di luar sana, Abg Zul is superb in covering your flaws laa...aku panggil dia human live photoshop bergerak...kau kasi jer dia makeup...upload gambar kat computer..tu photoshop software korang boleh humban luar tingkap la ehhh..

So, once all ready and steady da siap pakai baju, and oh ya all in all we had four outfits:

• Turquoise Blue (Traditional)
• Royal Brown (Traditional)
• Black (Western)
• Orange + Gold ( Bollywood Acha!)

We make our way to the his studio at the rear end of his shop and met up with Jeremy aka Brother "Senyung"! Ni member kekek punya geng, dia tak cakap senyum...dia tau sebut "Senyung senyung!!" Boleh la bro..asalkan aku paham kau bahagia..pictures POWER...Alhamdullilah!

So it was very interesting to finally be in a photoshoot with Beau, it was definitely awkward for the both of us as we are honestly not the touchy-feely couple especially infront of people... Paling lebih pon pegang tangan si mamat tu jer laaa...ni nak kena ada hugging segala...lepas Jeremy cakap ok rest..both of us let go of each other macam kena electric current...hahahhaha...belom biasa...kan nanti da biasa siap kau aku ganyang!!! hahahhaha...

And there was one time whereby,Jeremy ask Beau.."Bro, look at your wife look at your wife!" den member agaknyer tak concentrate punya pasal keep staring at Jeremy. Ni part kekek corner, cos everybody was laughing. I think for a split second the Beau is lost trying to understand the word "Wife". Maklumlah.....*blush

So, this funny man usual dialog would be, "okay, nose to nose, chin down, senyung, senyung"!!

And here are the snippets of our AWESOME ending product:

No fret ladies there would be more coming up soon! But first, as me and Beau will be featuring most of these pictures for our wedding website,my blog has to wait then we will upload the rest of the battalion of pictures ehh?!!

Therefore, me and Beau end the day with a good note by having our own chilling drinking time at our favourite spot at Fort Rd. It was definitely a "Senyung" experience to be remembered.

Till then, "senyung senyung" selalu ya tuan tuan puan puan!!

Pretty with Pom Poms.

Olaa Btb[s]! Hope everything is still popsie daisy under this hazy conditions yes?! For those brides who their weddings last weekend under all the bad hazy conditions, no fret! Im sure your pictures will still turn out to be gorgeous and salutes to those future Bride and Grooms who have to brave the bad weather condition while taking their pre-wedding photos. 

Believe me guys, me and beau were one of those so-called unfortunate ones. Hahhahha,,,with beau's tight work schedule, we both just have to make do with the current weather and ultimately get it over and done with.

So as we get nearer to our "Project Run Away from Haze", me and a little fairy (beau's AWESOME sister) had decided to prepare props for our upcoming outdoor photoshoot. As per discussed with our photographer Syarfique from Blissphotocinema(another AWESOME POSSUM fella), we do not really want to focus bringing too much props and I TOTALLY agree with that. Kalau nak props banyak letak sana sini, lebih baik kau letak tu wayang pekji nyer props jadi backdrop kan kan? So as for me and Beau, we prefer simplicity but yet classy as well as memorable and shots that features more of us and less of the fancy shmancy props. 

So here are the basic ones that me and little fairy thinking of DIY-ing:

Save the Date Banner

Ini perlu yer kengkawan, sebab benda macam gini la is the most simplest and cutest way of announcing your wedding date via FB Twitter Instagram..tak payah nak perlu pakai photoshop segala...buat nie den Zaaap!! amik gambar den upload! Aku suka!

"POM POM" Flowers

Ini DIY bunga, I loveeeeee sangat sangat sebab benda ni, punyalah easy peasy lemon squeezy nak buat. Kalau tak tahu nak buat, beli jer at DAISO, just $2 for 14 flowers in a packet siap ngan instructions lagi you...so lepas tu kau main la ngan bunga tu puas puas yerrr...

Walaupun, cinta pada pom pom flowers ni mcm mandi tak basah tido tak lena, tapi please eh korang jangan nak substitute pom pom tu jadi sanggul lintang segala kat kepala macam orang kat atas tu. Walaupun no doubt cute, tapi kalau kasi kahwin da boleh jad mak orang eh. Please eh. 

Hahahhaha...tapi kalau nak jugak jadi sanggul lintang akak tak kisah...whatever rocks your sampan babes!

So in the end, me and the little fairy decided to create Save the Date Event Banner No.1 on the picture shown above and Turquoise Pom Pom Flowers with the help from the products at DAISO! Though you can buy the banner at Haji Lane or so that I know of, buat sendiri lagi jimat cost yer puan puan...and at the same time you kick urself silly while preparing your project props.

So, last Tuesday, me and the little fairy head down to ION DAISO, to purchase all the stuff. All in all it was a total of $8. $8 AJER YER KENGKAWAN! 

To create the banner we bought:

A5 Size Envelops (10 Envelopes in a pack)

Sketchbook / Drawing block or any Thick white pieces of papers

Markers

Crepe Papers

And here is the end product:

TA-DA!! And sorry ladies, no pictures of the pom pom flowers, the SIII is currently being a bitch and I dont know where the hell the picture is....

Lawa kan???? Ok[la], walaupon tak se-perfect mana tapi pasal da penat potong tampal draw lukis conteng colour segala, I still find its super deee duperr nice and not to mention the wacky moments me and little fairy had. Guess where we did this whole crime??? 

ESPLANADE LIBRARY HOKAY!!

Memang tengah in zone selenge at that point of time, patut buat la kat Macdonald's or somethin BUT since aku have forever been obsessed by esplanade's library beautiful scenic outlook, i decided to shoot the burger. At last, nak koyakkan kan plastic wrapper pon susah pasal the place is super damn quiet! Hahahha..not to mention pakcik library ingat kitorang buat project skola and say jgn serak-serakkan..eh pakcik! Kitorang taulahh...ingat aper mcm rumah sendiri kaper nak suka serak serakkan segala..

And not to mention the look on little fairy's face and say...you can still pass off as 16 you know kakak...thats why the pakcik thought we do school work...

Awwww.....ini satu budak malaun memang aku sayang la sangat-sangat!!!! Nak peluk cium ni satu little fairy!!!

Till then, up next a story on our Shooting Adventure.

White as Snow..Gown Story Part Deux

Olaaa BTB(s)!! Hope the past weeks has been Great if not Im sure your survival instincts kept you alive among all these many details that we need split our brains for. Anyways, this post is all about the continuation story mory of the WHITE Gown hunt that I have last mentioned in my previous blog. Well, it is definitely tough I must say to find the gown that fits and also a store assistant yg prangai tak "Jahanam" like the one I encountered at Orchard Central.

So as the hunt continues, I was walking on my own in Bugis St cos the man is busy as usual with werk, Ms.Nooki is on her way for her Bandung trip and also Ms. Smooth Criminal was on her way to Gold Coast. Tertinggal la aku sorang terkedek-kedek jalan sendiri cari benda untuk our pre-wedding photoshoot. sigh...kesian kesian...Tetapi tidak mengapa ya tuan tuan puan puan KE-RA-NA (tone macam budak tengah bahas 4PM) I, telah pon BERJAYA..YA BERJAYA! mencari gown yg perfect sangat sangat!!!

Haiz...ni kalau bahasa melayu lecturer aku nampak..confirm potong point la!!

Okay back to the cerita of my gown, sedang I jalan terkedek-kedek nak cari anting-anting...tiba tiba kepala otak ni terpikir pulak nak search Bridal Shops around Bugis area cos if you guys are frequent Tong Seng members...korang mesti pass by Bugis Junction which holds frequent bridal exhibitions every few months. So, selepas mendapat idea, jari jemari ku pon menaip [lorrr], "Bridal Shops in Bugis" on google chrome kat hp SIII aku yg togel takder cover nie.. and Ta-daaaa!!! it shows this:

http://www.bridalshop.sg/place_tags/bugis/

Hahhh!!! Ada pon!! So for a minute aku pon pikir nak jadi adventurous and just shoot the burger and go to the bridal shop myself although its quite intimidating after how the "Jahanam(s)" at Tanjong Pagar Bridal Shops treat me before. So, I decided to pick "BRIDAL CONCEPT" and using the reliable GPS on my SIII walaupon aku tak tau baca map segala tetapi aku tetap cuba ya kengkawan!

So as I walk and walk ikot map tu...I was directed to the lane betol2 depan Tong Seng...sigh phone ni aku pikir..aku nak cari baju kahwing bukan nak makan nasi ayam!! Then the arrow started to blink and I saw the signboard Liang Seah St...I knew that I was near to clinching that perfect white gown.

So kalau  nak ikot direction cara aku memang senang. Kalau korang tau the Famous Tong Seng, you just walk all the way straight and you guys can see a restaurant named Pornsak ngan gambar bontot gajah den you just continue to walk straight and you should be reaching this AWESOME POSSUM BRIDAL SHOP:

So there I am finally outside the shop, dengan penuh debaran dan bacaan "Bismillah" aku pon masuk kedai...macam nak masuk war zone pulak ehhh...So I was greeted by this friendly Uncle yang tengah relax baca newspaper maybe Towkay dia ah..kalau kuli takkan boleh rilek one corner baca Lianhe Wanbao, teo bo?

So, he welcome me into the shop and introduce me to his superb store personnel Cecilia, ini perempuan kalau boleh aku pelok da memang aku squeeze dia habis-habisan ah! She is really one adorable and nice lady to work with. Service is tip to the top! She is so friendly and casual. Mana nak dapat service macam gini kat Tanjong Paga? Hah....HAHK??

So, finally she ask me what type of gown do I want and my budget so being the direct me, I say straight to the point takder corner corner, and tell her, "the cheaper the better"! Something fluffy and must be WHITE. Dont want the Man to do pouty faces at me...

I was brought up to the second storey of the shop, all in all the shophoouse is super big...Tiga tingkat kau! naik tingkat dua da macam rasa nak pengsan. So, this temporary fairy godmother of mine starts to pick out many many white dresses all fluffy with laces and trains and bling blings....ter-feeling la pulak macam Julia Robert in Pretty woman. Hee!!!

So, I finally tried like 8 gowns in total but I must say this Cecilia her taste is immaculate. I actually fell in love with the very first gown she tried on me. It was a halter, high neck so-called mandarin cut type of wedding gown and it makes me look so  darn kurus la nyah!!! Aku suka!

Lets take a peek:

You see! You SEE!! Gorgeousness kan?? From what I have learnt, a perfect cut is TRULY REALLY IMPORTANT Ladies! If you are especially a big fan of a fluffy gown like this TE-TA-PI ada high waist  like I am, I really suggest you take this kind of cutting that cuts like a V at the waist area because it creates the illusion that you are slimmer..take it from me..this dress does MAGIC! to my tummy. Not only that, the high neck mandarin cut creates a slim neckline.

So for us ladies, who are not chopstick bamboo stick thinned pole type of people, this is one of the perfect cuts that you ladies can try out. Also, many of you will be asking how much this wedding dress cost. Let me tell you first, the price that I will be telling you is INCLUSIVE of Veil, Accessories (Hair, Necklace & Earrings) ya Puan puan.

The magic price is ONLY $350 la dey!! Compared to the many ber-belasan shops yg price range starts from $600 and above. THIS is definitely a good steal and one that fits my body perfectly.

Im so happy[lah]. Even the Man was happy with my choice though he prefers somethin with Bling Bling but when he looks at me in this, it creates a soft bridal elegance which fits perfectly with our chosen outdoor location.

So, for you and you and you who are still finding that perfect white dress why not head down to Bridal Concept @ 16 Liang Seah St Today! All the staff there are super duper friendly and not only that, many of our malay btb[s] also do their studio photoshoot there. And I also came to know that me bestie's sister and also the cousin also did their wedding studio shoot with Bridal Concept which is like eons ago. And even the Man was impressed by their friendly services and I must say that he is one with the most particular need for good service.

Till then. Loved.
