Start Planning

Eventhough the wedding is next year, of course the planning has to start now. It's not simple. The decision making part is the toughest part. Ammy (one of my best friend and my wedding planner) asked me to MAKE UP MY MIND!!!! ha3 how to make up my mind when there are so many styles keep changing month by month?
During lunch today, I started to google for information on how to plan the wedding. Of course I want to make it as a wedding to be remembered. ha3. I am not a celebrity to have a million ringgit wedding, but a simple ones will do. Simple yet stylish/extra ordinary. But the extra ordinary part will be upon approval from the 1st generation ie my grandparents! ha3
I found a website Just Engage..Where to start Planning. It's useful for clueless people like me.
First thing first.
1. Imagine your dream wedding
Well, when I was young, my dream is to marry a handsome prince and live happily ever after! (with the horse carriage, a heavy gown, etc) ha3 Since it is OUR wedding, of course I have to ask him which is suitable!

2. Stay organised
Yup, I have an organiser created specially for this reason - everything that catch my eyes let it be the colors, the design, gifts, etc. The budget list, the hantaran, the dulangs, etc

3. Pick a date
It's going to be next year, but WE HAVEN'T DECIDED on the DATE!

4. Make a first draft guest list
DONE! (for my part)

5. Register early
This would be for the kursus and all sorts that we need to settle with the religious office.

6. Set your budget
DONE!

7. Find the ceremony & reception site
For the akad nikah will be either at home or at mosque.
For my reception, will be at some place (haven't decided yet)

8. Consider your colors
I am planning with something different out of the norm.

9. Ask your attendants
Of course my family and relatives will be at the wedding as early as possible.

10. Start looking for vendors
Photographer - done
Mak andam - done
the rest belum lagi.

11. Look for dresses
Well, I have few options in mind.

12. Book hotel rooms
ha3. of course this is for my relatives all the way from Singapore. But I think they will do it on their own. I'll just suggest few hotels nearby the reception area.

Yummylicious

Yesterday, the lady boss brought us out for a lunch treat. According to her, she kept disturbing us for information, so in return she brought the whole office out for lunch at Tenji, Solaris. It was a lunch Japanese buffet. To tell you the truth, I've never eaten lunch that much. We were there from 12.40pm-3pm. From sushi to local and western, all been covered. ha3 It was the best lunch ever. Actually, all of us at office wanted to go to Tenji for such a long time (because of the buffet) but our lunch time is only for 1 hr. Mana cukup masa nak makan buffet!

My all time fav. is oyster and sashimi! yummy! I like! After I tried all the Japanese selections, I went to the local ones. The black pepper mutton was the best! Not spicy at all. Then I went to the western corner. I saw something that makes me mengeliur-->BAKED OYSTER!

OMG! This is heaven! I am speechless now remembering the taste, the cheese, the texture, the.....(droooling sambil mata juling) Tak tahan seh! Sampai ke tidur I dok terbayang baked oyster ni. Hari ni sebab dah craving sangat, I ajak semua orang pergi Secret Recipe makan Prawn Macaroni with (x-tra) Cheese. Substitute to the baked oyster. OMG again!

Sakit Hati

Sakit hati sangat bila dapat tau French Film Festival(FFF) dah habis SEMALAM!!!! Disebabkan kesibukan kerja yang teramat sangat (alhamdullilah audit dah habis, tunggu mana2 query last minute yang perlu diselesaikan), nak update blog pun tak de masa.
Alkisah, last month masa keluar dating (biasalah kan, smuda mudi, tapi jangan salah faham...kami hanya bertemu bila perlu je). Agenda seperti biasa menonton wayang2 yang ada. Kekadang tu ada gak menyelit aktiviti membantu menjana ekonomi negara. I rasa nak je beli share GSC lah. Banyak sangat contribution I kat diorg. Bayangkan sekali pergi tengok wayang, back to back 2 wayang! Tak lama lagi ingin I pecah kan rekod back to back 4 wayang. Ada brani? ha3..
Okok..alkisahnya masa tgh tunggu turn nak masuk panggung, I ternampaklah banner ada FFF. Masa browse cerita2 yang ditayangkan, I tertarik dengan cerita ini--> COCO AVANT CHANEL, biography about Coco Chanel. Yesterday was the last day of FFF. SAKIT HATI!!!! (rileks ar, leh cari dvd)

geram

afc

If you are a fan of AFC, I bet you know who she is. She is the chef in "French food at Home". I really enjoyed her cooking style and furthermore I love french food. ( Actually I love all kind of food) The taste is different, and I like the part when she made salad using all kind of weird leaves!
This is what happened when I only watch TV 4 times a month. I missed the opportunity to attend "A French affair with Laura Calder". She is now in Singapore! urghhhh geram!

continuation....

Well, even though the BIG day is next year, there are so many things that has to be settled and decided as time is of essence.
This is the toughest among all other matters. HOUSE HUNTING. It's tougher than shopping for shoes! ha3. I have been browsing Malaysia Property & real Estate's website, it seems that landed houses are so damn expensive. Young & middle income earners like me can't afford to buy such property.

What ARE our main concerns?

1. Rent/buy
--> if rental is as much as installment, mights well we buy it. We have an asset, the property will appreciate over times, etc. I Google for our decision, and it seems that we made the right choice.

2. Location
--> we have found few (somewhere in the middle location)

3. What kind of property?
--> condo/apartment is our choice.

4. New or for sale?
--> It depends on the price. But nowadays developers are building houses for higher income group. A landed house in Shah Alam costing RM1m++ (built up 22 x 75, more or less), a cheaper range (below RM300k) landed house is somewhere in Rawang or Klang.
--> For condo/apartment, it's focus on the value of per sq.ft. I've found one 800+ sq.ft apartment costing RM110k. Is that expensive or cheap?
--> If buy a for sale property, fully or partly furnished contribute to the sale price. But for me, if I am to buy a property, at least partly furnished with kitchen cabinets would be sufficient.
