A Twist From The Original

Check out The Rescue's version of 'Teenage Dream' by Katy Perry. Loves.

The harmonizing is wicked.

My peeves and causes of irritation

I hate expecting from someone. In the end, they are all going to disappoint you. 

Too many instances when this sort of thing happens. I don't understand being so significantly lazy. I don't understand excuses. I don't understand procrastination where three weeks of works is wasted. 

I however do understand that time is money. Time is development. Time is your road to success. Don't waste this precious time giving lame and stupid excuses. You are wrong and stupid. Now fix it.

Bridal make-up

A bride wants to feel beautiful on her wedding day. Particular in a malay wedding ceremony, where brides are required to change into several outfits. You want a look that you are suppose to be comfortable with and that you can recognize yourself in the mirror. I looked through my mom's old wedding pictures and man, the make-up was probably about 10 inches thick. I for one would definitely want to look sweet, feminine and natural. So the target is to find a make-up artist who can accomplish that look.

I love's Elyana's solemnization make-up. She looks so demure, her make up doesn't look too thick yet it looks beautiful in pictures. Make-up artists always say that in order to look beautiful in pictures, the make-up has to be thick. True, but accomplishing this look is not that easy.

So the quest to finding the my MUA is on. Any suggestions and recommendations are welcome. =)

Of lace and Wedding Dresses

I'm a lucky girl. I know that and I'm thankful for it. But how do you tell your mother to stop buying??? She has clearly gotten carried away. Currently I have four wedding lace. Three was already a headache to begin with. Then she came home last night from Singapore and bought another one. I was trying to keep hold of the bridezilla in me because I never chose any one of the lace. Nope. She bought them on her own without telling anyone she was buying them and now I'm in a muddle trying to find someone affordable to design them. I went to one of the famous fashion designer and he was going to charge me 3k for the bridal gown and 2k for the baju nikah. His designs were obviously gorgeous. Tp I can't afford two baju for 5k and now I've got to think of another two. Doa la I dapat business banyak. Then perhaps I can have him do all my dresses.

gorgeous kan the lace buat jadi cheongsam. 

I love the soft lines of this dress. There goes my dreams to use chiffon or tulle.

ni orang tinggi pakai cantik . Macam I ni??

I'm meeting another designer tomorrow. Hopefully the price will be within my budget. 

Dream Wedding

A girl can always dream. Well in my case lots of dreams. First when i was a wee lil girl, it was being a princess and living in a fairytale. Then during those troubled 'no-one-understands-me' teenagers' phase it was dreaming that cute guy in school actually likes me back. Well now, at this age, I dream of having that dream wedding. I wanted first to have a grand reception. I wanted to wear a gorgeous gown and have everlasting pictures to remind me of that beautiful day. Well that idea had to be scratch with the growing amount of guests we have.

Then I wanted an intimate wedding. I just wanted the akad nikah ceremony and dinner afterwards. Simple, sweet and meaningful. Like that scene in ayat ayat cinta when the hero and heroin got married.

But the parents wanted a big reception. First one in the family getting married and all. Same with my fiance's side. He's the eldest son and the eldest grandson. The western culture never have guests attending weddings by the thousands. The malay culture do. In this case family from Singapore, terengganu, KL, Selangor, Pahang, Ipoh, friends, lots of close family friends, colleagues, VIPs.

Yup, so basically both me and F.D. decided that our wedding is a big party for our parents. The whole thing was out of our hands since the engagement. Sigh. Therefore I'm determined to have a beautiful wedding dress and gorgeous wedding pictures so I have hired the best. =)

Well that was the dream. In reality, everything is (so far for now) working out the way I want it. We made a few compromise and adjustments. Still much more to do. So the only time I am free to do any wedding vendor scouting is on sunday. Till then. Have a great day.

First Post

It's 26th of January 2011. Alhamdulillah life has been good for me. =) Let me recap with what has been happening in my life so far.

I got engaged to F.D.Zainal on the 25th of December 2010. The event was celebrated by my relatives and close friends. The theme was white and apple green. It was a beautiful day, a lot of glitches happened but everyone was happy in the end.

A beautiful baby boy was born into the family. Qalef Mikhail Chee Bin Harris Chee was born on 17th January 2011. Panjang betul nama dia. Isn't he so adorable. I think he looks like Samir. 

I started working at MSU on 3rd January. Funny story. I got the job offer one day before the engagement. I was rushing around like mad picking up the flowers. Preparing the hantarans, cleaning and decorating the house. I slept at 1a.m the night before and woke up with bengkak eyes. So I really got to plan my wedding in order. Go to spas, manis and pedis and the whole works. So, the journey to my wedding preparation will begin here. 

These are some of my colleagues. All are taken except for Sofia who second from the left. ;)

11 more months or so to go. Lots more to do.

Love
