Nak Carik Baju Kurung

Every year in August, my pocket will be deeply slashed, renew road tax, renew insurance. This year Syawal falls in August and I am soooo thankful it falls on the 30th (lepas gaji geng).

Mana nak pakai duit for check up, ketepikan duit zakat, mana nak beli bahan bahan kuih. Its a must to bake during Hari Raya, very therapeutic for me. And another item that I need to add into my long list is baju kurung.

I can no longer fit into any of my baju kurung. The baju ok, the kain all cannot kancing already. I dun like to use getah for the kain so I always requested for kanching so that the kain sit nicely on the hip. Amik kau, satu kain pun dah tak bleh muat!!!!!

Meleleh leleh air mata try balik all my baju raya, I have made 5 pairs of baju raya this year. Maklum sajer, first time beraya dengan abang and family...  baru ingat nak glam. Eh did I type abang there.. menyampah pulak bunyinya.

Tube dress and the sarung langsung dah tak bleh masuk at the hip, baju off shoulder lace mcm Seniwati Sarimah, dah mcm nak tertetas kat bust area.Songket thai silk tu, blakang can zip, but the tummy area, once kalau I duduk berderai kain dia agaknya. Sungguh touching.

Mr S pujuk 'Dah lah takkan baju dah ketat pun nak nangis, sampai gitu skali. Kan pregnant. Nanti kita jalan geylang, kita beli lah baju'

'kita cari baju raya kat first lady eh'

and the datin menyampuk 'Kalau dah tak muat pakai baju ibu pun boleh'

Lagi deras air mata meleleh.... I dont blame the hormones. Kalau tak pregnant, baju dah tak muat pun can make me nangis.

at 24 weeks, and the reason for all the ketat baju raya.

My skater man

In exactly one month and at around this time my identity will be dictated.

I have warned the tuns not to meet for the last 1 month. So bila dia nampak I time I tgh duduk time nak nikah tu, hati dia akan berbunga kasih, berbaur sayang... wah liow, mcm nak muntah I bila baca balik.

I can dare say, the last 1 mth lah kita banyak nak kena meet, for photoshoot, nak confirm pictures, nak confirm with Chinta, nak kena confirm deco, nak kena confirm itu, confirm ini.

To reliese the anxiety, I swamped my self with work, I attended back to back AGM, and endless site inspection. On the other hand the tuns have been releasing his steam by reminiscing his youth. He's been out skateboarding with Mr Video Man on his off days.

Love, please do take care of those ol knees, remember you are not 17 anymore. I want you to walk with me down the isle without any limping. Jgn nak complain, lutut sakit, bontot blue black, punggung lebam, badan lemah, tangan lenguh.... No way eh.

Asyik Si Misai Ajer

Hahaha... I cant help it updating on si misai. I've blog it twice, in here and here

So korang, kalau u all nak mentel mentel (opY, word 'mentel' ni i dedicate untuk u), nak posing posing, nak have fun, go do this, suruh makcik pot pet posing ngan ni, kalau tak kena lempang dah cukup bagus.

Its pretty easy actually.... I've saved u guys the hassel, you can get the templates from Martha, Lisa Welge and someone posted this at 4share. Credit goes to that kind soul.

So instructions as follows -

1. Cut your ’stache

You can use the templates or kalau terror just draw freehand or felt beli kat spotlight or art fren for 80cent per piece (1 piece felt can get 6 mustache) or on card board colour black.

2. Stick it

Seletkan satay stick, wait dont use satay stick, too kurus, use chopstick. Glue it or cover with black tape and voila you are good to go! You can even tie on a ribbon to coordinate with your wedding colors.

3. Take funny photos!

Have fun!



Oh this is cute



Macam geli pulak tengok misai betol ni. Tebal sangat agaknya.

Reality Checks

I received my invitation card a week ago. It was so surreal to see my own name embossed on the card.

I was not aware of the hassle that comes with the chosen card. All the items are separately packed, the piece of paper, with the detail of the wedding, the slot (to fit the paper into), ribbon (to slot it into the slots) then the envelope. Wah liow.

The tuns card had finally arrived, after two time patah balik johor, bukan salah kita, salah jorang, the first one, Assalamualaikum salah spell, the second one, they wrote 'Turut mengundang seusia keluarga'.

Pengantin to be please eh, once u received the stack of card, please set aside cards for YOURSELF first. By then you will have done your guest list, so you can roughly gauge the numbers of invitation cards you will need. Dun be like me, semua amik amik amik last last I'm left with setotet card.  My aunties sampai jemput satu Haig Road (Haig road use to be my playground), amoi kedai mas bawah blk 10 pun dia jemput, apek kedai sin sih pun dia jemput, kalau dia cakap mama mee goreng kat pasar Haig Road dia jemput., I tak tau nak cakap apa. Sigh. Tak kuasa nak mengamuk, mcm dah penat agaknya. Now I just need to streamline the guest.

Last week the makciks dah start rewang, tolong buatkan envelope, tolong potongkan ribbons. tsk tsk, excited habis. I was very hesitant at first, ader ribbons mcm senget senget. My piece of advice, kalau nampak makcik buat ribbons senget ker, wrap kotak berkat terpenyek sikit kat tepi ker, ikat ribbon tak centre ker, tegur SEKALI aje, selanjutnya biarkan. Bila jorang dah balik, unpenyekkan balik the kotak or straighten the ribbons. Tak susah. Bukan apa, makcik makcik ni pantang di tegur, sensitive semacam. Nanti mood jorang dah baik baik nak tolong nanti merajuk pulak. So far, upo to date, my side belum lagi ader yg merajuk.

I pun sudah di warning oleh Datin, oh bukan I sorang, both my sisters dah kena sound jugak.

'Kalau ader org tegur kenapa buat mcm gini, kenapa buat mcm gitu, kenapa ni mcm  ni, kenapa tu mcm tu, biarkan ajer, JANGAN menjawab!!!'

This was based on past experiences when a member of the family cant take the comments made by a relative. Aiyo sikit punya matter, riuh satu kampung. Tak paham aku. Lumrah lah eh, tabiat orang. Kalau tak comment tak syiok. Mesti nak comment.

I'm at that point of, gasak lah, I just want the event to run smoothly, get it over and done with, but in the mean time I'm just enjoying the moment of my single hood.

p.s: Sejak nk dekat naik pelamin ni asyik ngantok ajer. Setan mengoda jugak agaknya.

I wanna be a rocking ROCKSTAR!!!

We are really fond of candid pictures. I love the idea of having a candid photo booth. Such as these.

so when I saw Huda Ali R.O.C.K.I.N.G booth I go 'You make me wanna lala!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

   

Totally ROCKSTAR!!!!!!!

I am so in love with this idea, and it was created by studioDua. I love love their photography. They are an expert in the old and berlapok pictures which I totally dig. Sigh... sukanya. Tapi member ni celebrity, banyak lah artist artist nak berposing posing. Fad who attended her wedding cakap nak amik gambar sampai kena line up lagi...

Kita ni saper jer, takkan nak harapkan makcik makcik pot pet I berposing mcm gini, ngan bulu bulu merah tu, macam dah lain macam jer, or contractor contractor I yang dah tua tua tu dengan jam rolex berposing ngan bini tai tai jorang or kawan kawan datin yg senior senior nurse tu or member member my dad yang dulunya samseng kampung tapi skarang dah jadi taxi driber berposing mcm celebrity diatas tu. Takperlah kirim salam ajer lah, duit simpan kasi orang makan lepas wedding lagi baik.

So for now, I'm still sticking to my poloroids guest book. But seriously, I'm totally digging the booth. I bet they had a hell lot of fun.

For those interested on the ROCKSTAR booth, details are as follows:-
