I am feeling kinda lethargic suddenly... Perhaps cos i have been travelling ard to many places these past few days running errands for d wedding... Yesterday n today were also allocated for shopping for sum essentials dat we still havent got.. But not done yet... I still got to get my BUNGA RAMPAI stuff which i HAV YET to decide wat it'll be like...just dat i hav budget for $5 each....and most prob will need to exchange 30 pieces w jop's side as well...

Yesterday i had to conduct class at Greenview early in d mornin before fetching jop , mummy n eka to go and buy the 'wine glasses' for d Nikah's berkat..
I also took d chance to order sum fabric frm d usual shop for my hantaran decor...so happy dat i finally got d purple felt damask fabric dat i wanted...

We had lunch at Zain's cafe ...and eka had her fav SUP EKOR...




while i finally get to eat black pepper steak which i havent got d chance to hav for so long...

Later at night....after sending mummy home... Jop n myslf went to Mustafa centre to get sum toiletries before heading down to HRC to celebrate Azman's bday...


It was a simple bash dat his fiancee did for him ....and we had fun watching Kumar's show too.. We left early before Kumar's 2nd set cos i was too hungry by then and we went to ARAB ST for late supper....

I just cant seem to restrict myself frm eating although i hav been wanting to lose more weight before d big day...haha....

2day wasnt any better cos jop n i went out w Mel & NOR to discuss more on our wedding decor details , settling our 2nd deposit and finally get JOP'S wedding ring at Tiffany RAFFLE'S HOTEL where my cousin , abg Anver is workin .


Finally i felt so relieved cos d main items for d hantaran gifts hav been settled... We also took d chance to bring MEL to CITYHALL n manipulated her to choose for sum nice stuff which she thought i was buying for myself cos actually the items were for her bday gifts...

AND ONLY presented to her in d car otw back...

I am also thankful to mel for helpin me paste stamps on all d invite cards dat i need to send out n hav it posted for me...so i am left w just a few more invites which i hav to pass to sum pple personally...

I tink i better rest now...feeling so sleepy already..

Tomoro is gonna be a long day...

On a separate note..... I am missing my FUTURE HUBBY v much already... I noe he is already sound asleep by now...can imagine it...

Till den ADIOS

This is simply my fav outdoor shoot photo of us together...and it was me who chose to hav our shot taken at that spot...

I am not so stressed anymore cos...i have completed goin ard to all my relatives (maternal side) houses to distribute d invite cards yesterday . It was tiring but sumhow quite enjoyable to be able to meet up w all my aunts/grand aunts who wud discuss n ask me qns abt d wedding....(although its d same conversation each house i go)....
Bik Piah , Aweh , sis n me went ard to all d places n since our last destination yesterday was Bik Normah's pl as Eastvale which was just opp Aranda Country Club...i brought my aunts for a tour ard my wedding venue area...and phew.....they seemed to like d place...thank god...
According to bik piah...she like my nikah venue at Aranda becos its v spacious and wun be congested like how most nikah ceremony is like..

I slept at 5 am to do all d invite cards sticker labels and still msging frens at facebook to ask for their add...haha
Woke up early to sort out the cards meant for dad's frens as he came to collect them...
I went to Mel's pl to place all d stuff i bought for my hantaran gifts n headed out to run ard sending out invites....even got a chance to pay a surprise visit to SUMONE n chase for WAT HE OWES ME....He made a promise...hope he keeps his word dis time...cos i tink my patience level is at d very max level...

I fetched jop frm werk n we went down to PA DANCE STUDIO for me to pass d invite cards to my dancemates....i miss dat pl so much...cos its been almost 9mths since i last went there to dance...how i miss d place...d studio...d dancing etc..
They were practising for an upcoming show...and wen i saw them dancing...i was almost crying...i told jop...we better not stay long...cos i was kinda sad...and jop could feel it..
We met Abg Osman personally and chatted w him for a while and he seemed so happy to receive d invitation frm us...
I hope...i could have enuff money to go for an operation after the wedding and of cos SYF and hopefully i could dance again wen my feet have recovered . The reason y i am not goin for d ops yet is becos the surgery on both feet wud cost almost 8-10k and i wud need to rest for 4 mths before i can resume walking as normal ...tinkin abt it makes me wanna cry cos it seemed so long to wait before i can start dancing again...but insya allah...d time will come as long as my passion for dancing is still alive...

OTW home...i asked told jop..."B..its 24 more days...can u imagine we r finally getting married..and hav u ever imagined dat we r goin to hav dis kinda wedding dat we r planning for now???...."

He answered......"nO...I never imagine abt how my wedding is goin to be bt i have always imagine abt the woman whom i am goin to marry sum day....and dat woman is sumthin like.......u...!A gal who is funny , outgoing , bubbly ....n dreamt for a gal who can dance....but u ....R ACTUALLY A DANCE INSTRUCTOR...so dats even better!"...

I laughed wen i hrd him saying dat but deep inside....his words really touched my hrt...
I told myself...God hav answered my prayers..
My patience n endurance always praying that our relationship will last hav finally brought us to dis stage...

I couldn't imagine in 24 more days..is my Solemnization Ceremony and of cos d Wedding Celebration too...I could still remember the DOA that Ustaz Jalil taught us to memorise n recite at dat moment after d solemnization ceremony is completed and he comes to me to kiss my forehead...The same doa should also be practised every day for us to pray fr each other every single day...

Insya allah...i will practise it...

Till then

Suddenly i can feel d stress really comin great....
Cos there's so much things to do yet so lil time...
This week have to run ard settling so many stuff...accompany jop's mom to buy things for d wedding , go to my elder relatives places to send out invites..have to meet up w so many frens too....i dunno how i am goin to manage...
On top of everything i have to buy so many stuff at jb , collect d flowergirls' dresses , settle my own outfits...have yet to check on my 4 bridesmaids whether their outfits r settled...
Thanx to wir n noela for helpin me handle d bouquets for d bridesmaids n flowergal's accessories...and i noe wir is bz planning a surprise for my hen party too...
I dunno wats her plans..and who will be ard...

Oh yeah before i forgot...i need to organize 2 important meetups between d caterer , service crew , and some main service providers n another separate one for d entertainment side like d emcee , singers , musicians and etc...Dunno wen but it hav to be soon...

This sun hav to meet up w Dad's siblings for a family discussion regarding my wedding cos i just had one w mama's siblings 2 days ago...which was HONESTLY upsetting....
Sum pple just simply cant be bothered and really show it by talking among themselves n ignoring ...in fact even distracting us wen i was talking abt d wedding...by talking among themselves...
Sum pple whom i respect n regard as elders who r supposed to be key pple in d wedding backed out and refused to take any roles or responsibilities for d wedding...
Even my own bro just cant be bothered...
On top of everything d most upsetting thing is....sum AUNTS just cudnt understand my stituation of not having a my own mom ard...cudnt just be practical enuff to receive d invite cards from me during the gathering..
They still expect me or perhaps w sum 'org tua' come to their house personally to give the invites wen d situation now is kakak and papa....both v sick....kakak couldnt walk much w her leg which was in a cast for weeks n dad now who needs to walk w crutches...
Still they cudnt just get the invite cards from me on dat day...
I still have to trouble kakak or papa to follow me to their houses...
Y r sum pple just so inconsiderate...
Y cant they tink...if mama is still ard...of cos mama can do all this for me...but did they forget that mama have passed away or wat...
It even upset me more wen i tink of y most of my own aunts n uncles don't even call or ask me on how they can contribute or help w d wedding preps or whether everything is ok...ALL THESE MONTHS...
But...its ok lah...insya allah everything will still go on smoothly even without them helping...
I was really expecting sum of them to volunteer or initiate sumthin...like for example jop's aunts who will be providing our reception and solemnization's doorgifts , bunga pahar and etc...
I do appreciate BIK PIAH being d only person voicing out to contribute sum gifts for d 'berinai' ceremony....
Other than that...sad to say...nothing..
Its not abt d money...honestly...even wen bik piah n cik lik asked if me or jop needs help financially...we really have enuff at d moment...but did they ever consider....we both r orphans...
Jop has no siblings...we both are doing almost everything ourselves...
Thanx also to kakak n my dad who will be contributing in d wedding cake , kompang , etc .

I feel like crying wen i tink of all these...
Like i said again...its not abt d money but...i tink i just need d moral support , care n concern frm sum pple who were v vocal initially like as if they would really be involved in d wedding...

I guess....dats reality which i have to accept...
Its not my right to question them on this...
Insya allah the wedding which is just abt 25 more days away...will still go on smoothly w d rest of my family n frens mostly who will be contributing their time , effort n sincere contribution...

I noe its kinda late to update on Natalia's SWEET NOVEMBER WEDDING but well...i just grabbed dis pics frm ezan's site...Nat's wedding was indeed vvv sweet n touching one cos i found myself sobbing as she walk in d hall w her bestie singing 'FROM THIS MOMENT' which happened to be my fav song too...myself n jop's meaningful song as we heard dat song being played as we had our supper on d v first date...
Aniway...back to nat's wedding...the food was great...decor was classy n d bride n groom looked so gorgeous as ever....
DZUL who was my kindergarten's fren n nat my poly sklmate has been together since 2000 till now...imagine...8 strong years together...perhaps dats y i was crying tears of joy feeling so happy to c them together dat day finally as hubby n wifey...
Mona n Aaron who were sitting at my table were teasing me as they were saying...they could imagine how 'gembeng' i would be on my own wedding....perhaps end up w all my makeup smudge w 2 black lines on my face at d end of d dinner...
hmmm...i dunno myself...hope not...

I also met d other brides-to-be at nat's wedding....JAN-FEB-MARCH 09....All 3 of us...getting hitched one mth after another...hehehhe...so exciting...me n ezan hav alwiz been chatting w each other on msn talking n exchanging views abt our big day...
And.......not forgetting...........my bestest fren...who will be my MAID OF HONOR... and her fiance Khai have finally announced to both Jop n myself over dinner yesterday dat they hav confirmed on their DATE!!! 10TH APRIL 2010....yeahhhhhhhhh...my fav girl is getting married too...!!!How cool.. i hope...and i am looking forward to my turn to be a bridesmaid for her wedding..

On a separate note...i just finished another hantaran/gubahan creation for a customer who engaged Love Createz for his engagement...

Tick Tock Tick Tock...
Time is really ticking very very fast and now is exactly a MTH MORE to d BIG DAY i have been counting down ...
Everywer i go....everyone i c...nowadays will commonly ask dis qn....
How's d preparation??Everything ok...?
Well....EVERYTHING sounds kinda huge...
Erm if u r talking abt d financial part...seems to be under control...cos half of everything have been paid off and of cos...its a tight period now cos everything we have and earn are meant for d wedding expenses...cos i wanna try to finish paying up almost everything on d very day itself except for few things like photography and of cos catering which i have to pay within d week of d wedding but dat wud still be like 20% balance...left...


Now...if u r talking abt HOW PREPARED are we mentally....???
There's some interesting things i wanna share w u abt wat jop n i did over d weekend and have achieved..
We went for our Marriage Preparation Course at Al-Falah Mosque which was conducted in English and just over 2 days .
The 2 day course was indeed v comprehensive and we both learnt many new things abt each other over dat two days...
We discovered many new things abt each other dat we never pondered abt before and of cos we were so grateful to all d trainers who were v patient and helpful in sharing many tips abt the ways n measures we should take in future to handle our marriage life well .

Now if u wanna c a glimpse of wat we both did...
Let me show u d few things we did which touched our hrts greatly and brought tears to my eyes instantly at dat very moment...
Firstly is the 'FAMILY POTRAIT' which we both were told to draw within dat minute....

This was my drawing and wat i dreamt my family to be....Jop , Myself , 2 daughters( twins insya allah) and a sonAnd dis was wat JOP drew....hahah.....kinda cute ryte....
His vision was almost similar to mine just dat he wants 2 sons and 1 daughter instead ...
Wen we exchanged d books to look at each others' drawings....i burst into laffter n tears at d same time...cos we never ever discussed abt dis issue before...
Next thing i wanna share w u all is our 'LANGUAGE OF LOVE'
After answering some qns..we managed to derive d ratings of our love language in the porder of highest appreciation....
The left column was mine n d one on d right was his...As u can c it was almost d same except our top priority which was totally opp...me choosing QUALITY TIME while him choosing PHYSICAL TOUCH as d top priority.


Wat u c above was a simple 'doa which we were asked to make for each other and told to practise for the rest of our lives....The one on top was wat jop wrote n d one below was wat i wrote...
I didnt noe my 'doa touched his hrt so greatly ....but this is how it goes...


And if u wanna noe wat jop was bz writing in dis pic....dis was wat he wrote in d book...

'' In the name of Love... I want to make your dreams come true . To let you have the happiness which once , you couldn't have . Let us build a family of success . Let us explore our maximum abilities and create our dreams into reality . I can't do all of these things alone . ....but only with you . You are my wings . I can only fly to where you take me . Take me higher my love , and i will do the walking for you . ....For our eternal love . "


Sweet??dats wat jop wrote for me...It was d v last thing d trainer asked us to do...before we receive our certificates...but do u wanna noe wat i wrote for him??Pretty long ...but dis is it..

" In the name of Love...

I am thankful to god we could finally attend this course together so that we can learn how to be more prepared for the marriage and understand each other better . Insya allah , i will apply the things i learned to our future as Hubby n Wife . I will try my best to be a gd wife and mother to our children in future insya allah . I hope , just like me , you too will learn and understand the real meaning of our decision to get married now ..which is to share the rest of our lives w each other. I will love you always and only death will do us apart ...even so....we will meet again in heaven insya allah...

....For our eternal love

And finally....we managed to attain d Certificate of Accomplishment which we can pass over to d Kadi so dat we can get our marriage cert a mth from now....!!!!!



Dats my cert above for u to c....hehehe finally!!!
No more worries....just left to wait for d ACTUAL CERT....

JOP and myself start to take more leave from werk this month as we have plenty of tasks and things to settle...but we sure have time to do sum shopping ( for d wedding stuff of cos)...and catch a movie to distress ourselves..
Phew.....things r more or less settled...
Just finished sorting out d invites list...on my side..
I noe jop still hasnt finish his...and i have to help him w dat...

Tomoro is goin to be a long day...

I am bringing all my flower girls out with their moms of cos...
Need to bring them to d tailor to do their dresses...which will be in sweet pink...
I just bought the duchess satin earlier today w jop and he loves d color of d fabric too .

Ok then...
I better turn in...
Need d sleep..
Till den ,

Adios
