H : CY's E Day First Aid Kit V5


Assalammualaikum .. 

Wow! Today is 17.04.12 which is merely less than 2 months to the enchanting event! Sounded so fairy-tale like right? Ehiks. Well most of all the E Day preparations are WIP. Basically most of those are to be realized during the actual day. Am I excited? Hell YEAH! Anyway, I shouldn't be too excited as anything can happen, so I keep praying that everything is running smoothly. 

Well, at times, MA.CY did fight over simple & petty things! Anyway I guess that is part & parcel of every relationships. As long as we're doing good & stay sane (especially CY), everything will be good. :) *praying*

What to talk about in this entry? OK! I would love to share about the lovely dais that I've chosen for the day (I might change my mind on the design when it comes closer to the big day). 

Since this E Day is an event that is to be financed by myself, and since I am broke, every single details of it has to be within my budget range. Anyway, it doesn't have to be an expensive one since it is just a simple E ceremony. For me, less is more. I bet I sounded like the sharp-mouthed Fashion Police on E! (Joan Rivers). Ehiks. 

I started by requesting for the quotation from my sister's MUA during her E Day. It turned out way beyond my budget! So, I decided to Google searching for any available budget  wedding planner with budget & simple dais by any party near my area. Thank You to the technology & human intelligence, finally I stumbled upon this FB page called Sangkar Emas Collection. I am blessed since the service offered is just within my budget! 


I am loving it! Especially the part where I can get this simple dais at just RM300 + transport charges (since Ampang is out of their free zone area). How cool is that? Guess what happened when a person hearing a way cheaper price for something that is simple which were quoted at tripled the price?! I almost jumped! Haha. How funny is that? I am not stingy okay, but I am just being meticulous in spending for my E Day. I can't spend & splurge since I am NO rich-man-daughter! Ehiks. Do check out their FB page as they've many other wonderful & reasonable packages to suit our pocket! :) Below are some of the nice & simple dais that they offer! Check out their page & you'll see many more. I love the second one! I just don't know why, though few of my friends did say that it is TOO simple. Well, LESS is MORE! Remember? :D 



Next! Let's talk about the lovely door-gift for the lovely guests who showed up during that day. Well, as usual, I did research on the door-gift as well. Since I'm the so called the organizer of my own E Day, I had the courtesy to choose any kind of door-gift that I want for that day! Hell yeah I am jumping so high when Mama said that since I can use my own ideas on that area! I am not an art person so I started reading blogs of other B2B on their ideas. 

Finally, after considering the cost & memory that that particular door-gift can share with the guests, I decided to use jar of cookies / candies / biscuits / sweets as the gift! One important reason WHY i chose JAR is because it is REUSABLE! Other than giving the typical 'bunga telor' or sweets in wrapper, that jar is a more practical gift I guess! Anyway, it is kinda fresh though I am not the one coming up with the idea. Thank You to the lovely person who came up with that idea. 

I haven't thought of the stuffs to be shared inside that jar. Thinking of an old school candies called 'biskut pusat / biskut butang'. Bet that would be a great reminiscence of our childhood! I grew up eating that! Ehiks. A very 'dangerous' sweet tooth since the icing sugar on top of that small oval biscuit is extremely SWEET!   


OK. How bout the exterior of the jar? I can't just give that without any nice decor right? Well, I went to few shops searching for fresh ideas. Last week while buying the jars, I saw this lovely tissue paper carnation glued on the lid of the jar as a simple decor. I fall in love! But, since I ain't that creative & art lad, I asked whether they sell any of that flowers, it turned out that its a DIY project. It is not for sell bebeh! 

So, thinking that I want to have some fresh look to the jar, I decided to buy the papers & other stuffs, so that I can actually puff that carnation myself! Only after the tutorial given by the lady at the shop. Well, it wasn't that hard. Trust me, it took lots of love to turn the papers into a lovely & puffy carnation! I tried and I managed to actually make that flower! I am proud of myself! Way to go CY!! Ahaha.. I had to make 100 nos of that flower. I am doing it during weekends, with the hope that I can get that done on time & I can make my Abah eat up his words when he said that I'll get fed up & shoved those papers away & think of other thing to decor the jar! Abah is Sooo MEAN! Ahaha.. Well I bet he knows his daughter PRETTY WELL.. We'll see! :D *pray for me*

I also asked help from my kind, handsome, strong MA for his creative side to create nice invitation card & tag / sticker for the Day. He has done a great job! It is a lovely art work, Tdy! Thanks a bunch. Muahhhhhssss! Now, we're waiting for the cards & stickers to be ready & MA will pass that to me for my further actions! *can't wait*








Gosh! I guess I need to stop now! As I am so drowsy & feel like banging my head to the wall! Arghhhh. That has to be the caffeine from the lovely hot Caramel Macchiato that I bought during lunch time. Extra dose of caffeine is killing me today! Ehiks.

Till the next entry, wishing everyone love & happiness! Praying that today is better that yesterday & tomorrow is better than today. Amin.

G : CY's E Day First Aid Kit V4

Assalammualaikum!



Its been a while since the last post. I've been quite busy with work, work & work! 
OK, guess I'll talk little bit on the few other topics related to the E Day prep. 

Before that, I would like to thank Mama & Abah for the cool arrangement during the 'merisik' session last Saturday. It has been a simple & thoughtful meeting between my parents & MA's. There's not much photo to share as its just a simple gathering where both family discussed on the so called 'arrangements'.  It turned out to be a great meeting though it was a simple one. Mak Itam was there during the meeting. I am so happy that they've finally met. It was a total relief for the both of us! Alhamdulillah & Syukran to Allah SWT for the fact that everything went well & as planned. Thanks a bunch to my family, MA's family & Mak Itam's family for the support! :D *hugs & kisses*


Please ignore the sweat! Gosh that was nerve wrecking moments! ahahahahaa .. 
OK! Enough on the 'merisik' session! I am excited right now to share on the MUA (make up artist) that I've booked for the E Day. I chose this amazing lady, Nana Macarona (FB account - it might sound a little bit exaggerating since I haven't met her!) who was also the MUA for a friend of mine during her E Day last year.  She touched up my dear friend, Siti Hajar on her E Day & it turned out lovely! 


I called Hajar asking on her MUA, and she gave me Nana's hp no. I called Nana asking on the rate of her make up service and it turned out its affordable & just within my budget range! So, I booked her for my E Day. As simple as that! I'll share her blog & FB Page for Nana Macarona Wedding Planner. She is based in Shah Alam, so any clients who is interested to get her service, there's some travelling charges to be added to the whole make up package cost. I am looking forward to meeting this lady & having her to make me look 'better' during the day! 

Hajar getting her make up during her E Day! :) 
Hmm..the dilemma finally comes to an end! I've met the tailor who's going to sew the E Day outfit. It is Rosidah Tailor who is my friend's mother. She's been a tailor for quite some time. She suggested 'baju kebaya klasik' as the dress for my E Day. I am A-OK with that idea, as she knows better! I am anxiously waiting for the outcome. The dress will be ready by 15.05.12. Looking forward to it!


I am sure that MA is quite busy trying to crack his head with the ideas for the door gift tag & invitation cards for friends. I'll post on that later. 
p/s : Thanks MA for the help with those tags / stickers & cards. Love u a bunch! 


Thanks to Allah SWT, Families & Friends for the support & loves. May this be a great beginning to wonderful years to come. Amin!
CY (heart) MA. ("I won't give up on us..even if the skies get rough..I'm giving you all my love..I'm still looking up...")
