I always have this particular idea of incorporating motorcycle in our wedding. Travelling on his DRZ to our wedding reception is totally out of the question. Yes' we both love motorcycles. I've always wanted to get a bike license but Dad never allow it. Mr Fiance allows me to get a bike license but he is skeptical cos he feels that I'm still wobbly whenever we go cycling. SERIOUSLY!??!
The first motorcycle that I fell in love with was the Vespa & when I reached my poly years that I dreamt to ride a Scrambler. Bapak tak restu, nak buat ape kan. At the same time, I never thought that I'll get a partner who rides. To top that, while we were getting to know each other, he did not mention anything about him getting a bike license. From his 125z (we named Isabella) to his current bike that is DRZ (Isabelle) & now he is aiming for those BMW big bike.
With that, a great way to incorporate his bike into our wedding is through our wedding invites. I manage to search a few that is appealing & able to capture the idea that I want for our wedding invites.
The card above macam hinting on us je. November 12 eh? Hehehehe.
Showed Mr Fiance some of these designs & he prefer the very last one. Well, we see how but at least we have some ideas on how we want our invites to look like.

It's difficult to have a proper discussion with the fiance. If his mood for discussion has arrive, he will discuss with it with you. Kalau tak, either kau berbual sendiri atau tunggu macam tunggu buah jatuh. I don't know what is the reason but we manage to have a short discussion.....IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT! A discussion that he insist on finishing when clearly I have work the next morning. Sanggop aku bersengkang mata because it's a rare opportunity for him wanting to have a discussion.
Basically, we were talking about the wedding, house and some monetary issue (bleargghhh!). Talking about our future house, that is when I got the idea for today's post. & I realised that I never talked about our BTO. With that, stay tune my lovely readers.
WHY?
Firstly, we were just trying our luck during the September 2013 BTO & SURPRISINGLY (WOW! -..-) there were two BTO in Yishun during the September 2013 exercise. One was Palm Breeze & the other one was Saraca Breeze. We picked this because it was a little bit cheaper.
The second reason that I will be revealing is one of the point whereby the fiance will never agree to it. Cos he is still living in denial & his reason will be this, "Yishun is in the middle & it is easier to go anywhere". Pfft! Whatever. My reason? Let me give you few hints.....
- He's been living in Yishun since forever
- His childhood friends in Yishun
- ALMOST every night go lepak with his friends at YISHUN. Baik main takraw, main bola, repair moto, main bowling pon kat Yishun.
- His married friends either have a house in Yishun or going to have a house in Yishun.
With that, go figure!
Why am I agreeing to Yishun despite I'm from the west side & there will be more BTO in the west? Despite the fact that taking MRT from the west side is never crowded as how it is in Yishun?
A married friend once told me this,
"Dorang baik single sampai dah kahwin AKAN tetap lepak dengan members dorang"
Therefore, I sanggop tinggal berjauhan from my mami & daddy so that I won't feel so lonely every night for the days he'll go lepak with his friends after we're married. Be prepared for me to cry buckets on our wedding day cos I'm so close to my family that I get homesick easily whenever I went for a holiday.
MOVING ONNN.......
I'll leave some photos of our future home.
Alhamdulilah that both appointment went on smoothly. Estimated date of completion is December 2016 so it is just nice that we decided to tie the knot one month before.
Everyone never understand why we decided to get second floor. Both fiance & I are used to living on 2nd storey so we have no issue on getting that level. To top that, I have issue on taking the lift, ALONE. The main thing is I really don't mind the level that we chose. For 20 years I've been living on the 2nd storey & Alhamdulilah I'm able to tolerate every problems that people living on second level may face.
I guess till here then my friends. Toodles.

Can I not have a wedding reception?
Can I just do a simple solemnization & a small feast for my important guests?
I feel very lazy every time I think about having to make decisions, from the bridal service to the location etc. For someone who is so fickle-minded, I think I'll have a tough time making such decisions. That is why I'm starting to have my "dah tak kuasa" syndrome & the fact that I always have doubts on the decision I made. Why can't life be so easy & simple like just akad nikah then tadaaaaa dah kahwin? Why must we do a function and invite hundreds of people & most of the time you don't even know who those people are.
At the rate that I'm going, I hope we can go ahead with mami's plan on having a very very intimate wedding.

On the day we got engaged, both sides have decided to "ikat" paling lambat 3 tahun & paling siang 2 tahun. Since we have a couple like Mr Fiance & I, nampak sah we will make full advantage of 3 years cos we wanna chill chill dulu & like my dad said, "It's okay lambat, asal kan buat majlis tak hutang orang." Therefore, we've been happily dating each other like as though we are new lovebirds & no thoughts on wedding preparation comes to our minds.
It wasn't long until I went to his place cos it has been awhile since I last see Ibu (Mr Fiance's mum) & that is when she started asking about the preparations. OH TIDAKKKK! Just when I thought we could take our own sweet time, Ibu decided to remind us. I can still "lepak jack" when she asked about the location & how we decided to have our wedding but it was until she remind us that time travels fast when you least expect it. Suddenly, it kick start my panic pedal cos what she said does make sense. Like for example, we are already in the month of March & it is coming to an end & afterwhich we will be welcoming April. When you start to analyse things in your head, that is when you realise that shit just got real & we got to start doing something fast, even if its the small details.
But hey! On a brighter note, we've decided to start looking for bridals around end of 2014 or early 2015. OR! Try to make an effort to visit any wedding exhibition that will be held in the future and hopefully we doesn't get distracted by the food bazaar & lost our main focus. Therefore, for now I shall....."I'm gonna take my timeeeee...."

I remembered asking my dad on the number of guests he invited during my brother's wedding. He said 250 to 300 & I need to know the number before the fiance & I decided on doing a combine wedding. I feel safe on the number of guests for my side but I'm sort of worry for the fiance side. HAHAHAHAHA! No wonder dad was abit worry when I mention to him about a combine wedding. Psstt....the number of his relatives & friends, MASYAALLAH! Hehehehehe. That one, I leave it to him to settle with his parents.
To top that, I had a discussion with my mami. The reason why I love my mami so much, you wait okay. Alhamdulilah my mami doesn't have those makcik-makcik kampong mindset. She admit that if can, she just want to invite 100 people & do an intimate wedding like those Westerners. She added like how it is not necessary to invite si dekni punya kawan lame time kampong punye jiran & bla bla bla bla. She also remind me that when nak buat majlis, tak baik balas membalas and buat majlis kene ikhlas, jangan mengharap something in return. She add like how kompang-kompang ni tak perlu, OMG! that is what I was planning ah. Hehehehe. Like mother, like daughter.
How I wish we could do 100 guests wedding but like mami said all that can happen if nenek never intervene. HU HU HU HU! Confirm my nenek will go like, "asal tak jempot si A? asal tak jempot si B?" Dad being her son, can't say no but have to follow her request lor. Imagibe doing a 100 guests wedding, my tuning will have to think something up if he still want a combine wedding.
Toodles.

First and foremost, I think somehow the tunang and I have decided on our wedding date. YES! You're right, our wedding date. When I asked people around me about their views on this particular date, they seem to give me the same remarks which makes me go...."Hmmmmm okay." Cos I expect them to give me some constructive reasons on to why they disagree with the date. And their remarks will be this..."Are you sure? Later your birthday & anniversary, you will only get one present tau." Well, you've guess it. We're planning to tie the knot on my birthday. That is.....12th November 2016, the day I'll turn 26 (adoi I feel so old).
I really don't mind getting married on my birthday, not because of the present that I'll get but having to hear the tok kadi announce that my first true love is officially my husband will be the greatest gift. Apart from that, on 12th November 1990, my parents welcome me into this world and 26 years later (InsyaAllah), my dad will be giving me away to another man whom I will call my husband. This part right here, when I think about it, it is so touching. Daddy held his first daughter in 1990 and InsyaAllah in 2016, he will hand me over to my future husband. Lastly, I'm not the kind of person who will go crazy over presents. Honestly, I've no idea what to do with them. Most of the time, the presents that I've received I rarely use them. Why? Cos it is so sayang lah.
Therefore, I really don't mind sharing my birthday with our anniversary. Cos sharing is caring, okay lame. LOL -..- We just need to see certain things in a bigger picture and that is when we can see the beauty in life. Ceyyyy!
Till here then, toodles.

Pardon me for not updating this blog of mine. Been caught up with school assignments and work but well mostly its the school assignments. Well, alot of things happen in my life while I leave this blog of mine to collect dust.
First, let me announce that Mr Fiance have taken his final exam in Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Woohooooooo! I'm hoping he'll pass which I know he will and anytime soon my dear will be a full-pledge working man. Excited for his results and graduation day. Hehehehehe.
Secondly, both of us have somehow come up with the wedding date, wait, maybe not date but year I guess? We've decided on doing it in the late 2016. Why? So that both of us have ample of time to save up for the wedding. Who wants to live in debt after your wedding kan? I know not me.
Lastly, I don't know why I've never thought of doing some DIY stuff for the wedding but after chatting with my IRAS babies during lunch about Hudah's wedding, she gave me some ideas on which aspects of the wedding that we can do ourselves without hiring any vendors. At the same time, the girls even suggest of helping out, awwwww why I have such nice friends.
Anyway, like for example, the photobooth. Aku kemaruk sangat nak save cost that I told myself we don't need a photobooth. Deep down, I know I want it and it's fun. Guess what! I've found some nice ideas on DIY photobooth & there is one that I've fell in love with. For now, that will be my choice unless I've found something UH-MAZING!!
I shall end today post with my favourite rainbow diy photobooth backdrop.
