Prewedding Recap

I will recap from Wednesday 4th November 2009 until Bersanding Kecil on the 7th November 2009.

Wednesday-I started my matrimonial leave. My hantaran for him was still half done. There was about 5 out of 9 trays to be filled. Superman hadn't settled his hantaran shopping. Ya..we shop for ourselves and swap it. He's still working. I was really pissed.
The canopy contractor put up the structure in the afternoon.
At 12pm, I was rushing to Dzull Classique to get my dresses. Damn, it was not ready. I got pissed again. Coz it was suppose to be ready by last week. She asked to come again at night.Ergh..fine, I have to accompany Superman to pick his and Kojack's anyway..
I was suppose to have my makeup test last Sunday. But I forgot. SO, I rescheduled to Wednesday Noon. Turns out me and Kak Hana had to postpone it later to around 5pm. At 33opm I was at KLCC helping Superman to choose HIS ring. It was a major challenge coz he has big fingers. Size 23. Found sth but they can't resize it to his size. The original was more than 2 sizes smaller. I left him n rushed to Kak Hana. She was super nice. Her lil tots made the studio alive. Like a kindergarten. And she was out of breath disciplining the kids. haha..Adorable:) Ermh...let the pictures do the talking..ya..

This was what I saw when I turned to my house road after the Makeup Test. The canopy was there..It was really happening!!:)

Thursday- Superman was still working!!!!!!! Bizarre. I'm lost for words. This is the challenge you gonna get when marrying a businessman. Adoi...time critical nihhh...
He managed to shop few more for his hantaran. Still couldn't find his ring. I was really2 worried:(
I didn't go back to Kajang so that I can finish up some more hantaran and clean up my messy house, my laundry and such. On Sunday, some people are coming to my house to get ready for Superman's side's reception. Must make it look like a house! Mummy was calling me non-stop to ask this and that. Stay calm Mariam..Just Stay Calm!! You CANNOT have more wrinkles and pimples. (shits..a GIANT PIMPLE made its way on my forehead. Ahhhh..lantakla...ape guna concealer??)

Friday- Whattttttttt??????????????????????????????! Its Friday already??? Someone asked me..am I nervous to get married...ending up my bachelorhood..yada yada.? The answer was..NO. I'm more nervous about the event. Still lots to do. And I was still at KL until 8pm! And my house was already full with neighbours helping, vendors performing their design works, DJ setting up their equipments and my relatives from far had arrived. And they were all waiting for me!

I had 4 hours spa session at Tini's Spa in the morning. It was suppose to relax my mind and body. But..it never happened. Not completely. I didn't dare to leave my hp, wary that if someone if wants to reach me for emergency matters. True enough, there was only one brief 15 minutes where nobody contacted me either by calls or SMS! OMG! I guess the Spa Attendants saw how stressed up I was. They gave me a better service..Heaven...for awhile:)

Then, it was rush hour again. After tranferring some stuffs to my sis, Munira, I rushed to Kg Baru, picked up Cik Mas, and we went for inai a.k.a henna designwork at Jalan Tar. Found a saloon, an Indian saloon who advertise the service. Went in, picked a design wich the designer quoted RM20. Ok fine. This is only the 2nd time I was doing it. So I couldn't remember the price I got about 5 years back. Guess what they charged me RM90!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The RM20 is just for one side of a hand! Shits..I forgot the saloon's name. But really i was duped!!MARAH sangat!

Next journey was to go back to Ampang house, meet Superman to get his stuffs and rush to Kajang and pick my dresses at Dzull Classique. And then, go back to my Mom's house drop some stuffs, say hi to the helpers and went out again, meet Nisa at her house to fetch my wedding gown. All that was supposed happened accordingly and completed by 11pm. Well let just say it couldn't happened because of broken promises by the tailor(Dzull-if you are reading this, I'm not trying to condemn your business, but, when you promise things make it happen!) delayed everything by TWO hours! I was waiting for bloody two hours for them to fix my Kebaya buttons which they promised will be ready in half hour! Of which I've told them I need to go back ASAP because my wedding would be the next day! I almost cried!! When I was told it was ready, the assistant zipped off my Kebaya inside the garment bag and I stormed out angrily.Ergh!

Saturday-The BIG DAY-7.11.09
5a.m
I just completed my hantaran for him. Finally! Time to snooze. My florists was still doing the touch ups. I was famished. I yearned for nuggets from McDonald. But nobody wants to help me to fulfil my yearnings. Ergh...I was not really the Queen of the Day??Uhuk!

6.3o a.m
Mom woke me up. Telling me(bebel actually) to pray and ask for forgiveness and barakah from Allah. I didn't sleep peacefully. It was way out of my normal sleeping time. I tried to continue sleeping. But, luck was not on my side.

8 a.m
I finally got my first food after more than 14 hours! Roti canai and hot nescafe! Nyummm!

9 a.m
Kak Hana the makeup artist arrived. I just finished taking my bath...oops I havn't prepped my face.

1030 a.m
Relatives arrived. And as usual, knock2 the bridal room.(Favourite of the aunties2..huhuhu!). I think I surprised them with no glittery bed covers and such. Just a really practical, beautiful, simple embroidered, hotel quality cotton bedsheets accentuated by fresh flowers in tall big vasses on the tables. And the wall was adorned by my flowery wall art.. no scallops. I don't like the typical idea. I love to be simple, bold and different. Sorry aunties, didn't mean to shock you that way. hehehehe.

11 a.m
The TIME was nearing. Superman said his entourage was reaching the Surau Al-Furqan already.

11.30 a.m
He was there sitting in front of Ustaz Ayob, the jurunikah of my housing area. Beside him was Papa, his brother, Along, Uncle Wan, Cikgu June and the rest of our family members was around. The photographers and videographers was busy clicking their cameras.

My BV clan was there too:)

I was calm. I don't know why I didn't feel nervous at all. Something about the Surau made me feels the serenity and I knew it was going to be okay. Maybe because that was where I learned to read the Quran when I was small. It has been awhile since I read one. :(

Papa stuttered. Seems like he's more nervous than Yazid was. Maybe nervous of handing his youngest daughter to his man. Everybody was laughing under their breath. My legs was already cramped.Ha ha.

Alhamdulillah..with one Lafaz, Superman and Me were pronounced married. Thank you Darling.
I cried when I kissed Papa's hand and hugged him. I can still feel the moment while I'm writing this. Oh my..Sweetness.

Lunch was served at my house right after. And Berinai Kecil/Bersanding Kecil for close friends and relatives followed at 1:30 pm. I changed to a purple Kebaya.

Enjoy the pictures below. I'll write about my bersanding in the next entry.

This is my no-makeup-sleepy-stoned face with wet-hair!OMG!
Search for the GIANT pimple on my forehead,,hhahha!


My Nikah look. Innocent kah saya?


MIL:sign je laaa..pikir ape lagi tahhh!
Cik Hana: Ko sure ke ni?
Me: Aiyoo....ketaq tangan lutut nehh!
Papa: Alahai anak bongsu aku ni..dah nak jadik bini orang dahh!:(

I'm Back to Reality

I missed my blog alot.
Some of my readers made up some noise about the more than a week long hiatus..
Relax.
You gonna read like a story book.

this is entry is about saying;

HELLO!


Soon I will flashback what happened since the last entry.
The ups and down pre, during and post of my critical life changing
moment that happened last weekends.

Layannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn....zassssss!

Its Getting Scarier

I've been undoubtedly procrastinating my blog writing these days.

I hope I won't bore you readers with my wedding prep again n again.

But since I write mostly about my life story..u've got to bear with it for awhile. Hehe.

Just a little while. Saturday is the BIG DAY!Its a mere 3 DAYS away!!!

So what happened since last entry.

I managed to secure a DJ together with the equipment. Nice bloke. Big THANKS to IDA my officemate for the number. I hope he won't turn into a stupid DJ again. Pray pray pray. I handed him a list of songs that he need to have in his karaoke. He promised to look up for them.

On Friday my BFF from BV clan organized my hen night. We stayed at PNB Darby Park. Thanks for Diana and the BF for getting the best rate(i believe so!) and nice hotel breakfast.I love hotel breakfast! And super thanks to Ramesh and Hana for a special treatment at the Zeta Bar. First class okay!..And last but not least...big sloppy kisses and hugs for Yash(the Dare Master--ohhhh ko dah revenge le ni..hehhehe), Wawa and friends(you know...i'm really bad at names), 'wifey' of Jass..missus Crystal, OFEY...aler, u missed the party girl, and the 'It' girl, Azea!!!!!(Wey you ought to have that cendawan hair permanently!Suits you hottie!).Muah muah!!!!!!!!I'll paste the devilish-halloween-themed pics later. Perhaps, after my wedding there will still be parties.. don't desert me off the fun!

N then...

The Monday started off my last week as a single girl..err..lady?No?

I hate Mondays as usual.Nothing much. Just big meeting with my uncles and aunties. Wahh..there was some major changes and adding this and that came up.

Well in any event, when you say add...

means your expenditure will definitely goes up.

And my brain was heading for massive damage for overdriving the calculator mode!

HA HA HA!

THEN comes Tuesday which is yesterday.

The DJ told me that he couldn't have the requested songs. Its for my singers(Bad n Lynn) to sing to. Erghhhhh...they have practised the songs! How leh...major decision again..shitss..

Oh..there's one thing happened on my way to office yesterday. I tuned up to Mix FM.

Of all the topics in the world..they chose to have this,

"Have you had the experience of being dumped near your wedding day?"

sth like that. They asked listeners to call and pour out their hideous real-life history! Oh fucking hell!! It scares the life out of me! The worst I listened to was about a ceremony held in a church. Well, this story was told by the Man of Honour of the Groom which is also best friend to the Bride. They Groom had cold feet..and left the Bride at the altar. And another one is...A Groom didn't attend his wedding because he found out the Bride was in love with HIS FATHER!!!!

How bad was that???

And one movie moment that reminds me of this episode was in the Sex And The City's.

Mr Big couldn't even make himself went out of the car to marry Carrie Bradshaw!

What a waste. They could have a FABULOUS wedding.. Its so in my dreams.. designer gown-Vivienne Westwood's-->Free pulak tu!..and in a museum. So me!!!I'm already planning in my head where our to-be-but-don't-know-whether-it-will-be-a-reality-or-not anniversary party will be. Ha hA ha..I can see Superman puking and frowning.

He's not big about parties. I do..I OH SO IN LOVE with parties..:)

ok ok enuff about that.

Hope Superman is a real S-U-P-E-R-M-A-N.

Don't break my heart Darling!

Today...I still have tonnes to do. Picking up my baju from tailor.

Makeup test appointment.

Buying this and that.. Ahhhh..so much more...

Friends....

I'm sorry if I ever hurt your feelings.

I'm sorry if I ever talk bad things about you.

I'm really sorry.

Forgive me.

I NEED YOUR PRAYERS

to go through this life changing experience.

Wish me luck.

XOXO.

Bride to be,

YAM

If It Meant to Happen....

It will.

Tell you what..u can be very2 good wedding planner, you can have all your dreams played up in your head, and you go all the way to make it happen perfectly.

But shit always happens when you are less likely to feel its going to happen.
Like what happened to me yesterday.

At 4pm, I faxed to my canopy company office the list of songs to be played, according to the time cue during the event. Its a simple thing. I've prepared the Audio CD and labeled it accordingly so that there won't be any mixed up. They are just waiting to be passed to the DJ. Actual fact, the DJ should help me out in some part like burning the CD after I've given the MP3 files. But me being me, so baik and want it to be perfect, I willingly to do it on my own. Rest the case.

And, about 930pm, I received a call from their rep. The lady boss(B). Ouch..this doesnt sound good. Looks urgent. They had never called me at night.
So I picked it up.

B : Cik Mariam, I'm sorry to interrupt at night. But then I have to let you know, that the DJ told us he won't be able to take the job. He can't do like how you said in the fax.
Me(M): Hah?what?what did I said that he can't do?which part??
B : Well, he said that he can't play according to the cue. And he can't find the songs that you wanted.
M: What????!!!!!!!!!wait2.I'm confused. You said earlier before I book the DJ that he can play according to the cue. Just that we need to specify the timing, which I have stated clearly in the fax. And you said that in case he don't have the songs I should have my own CD burned for him. Fine enough I did that. Kan I wrote in the note that I have prepared the CD and I asked when should I passed it up. What the hell??!!
B: Tula , Cik Mariam, tadi we showed him that fax. Dia cakap he can't do it. He's scared he mixed up and played wrongly. And the karaoke songs you requested tu he can't find(or rather malas nak carik???!!!). He has alot of karoke CD. So kene carik sendiri.
M: Hey B, so what exactly he can't do?????!!I dah follow wuteva it is u asked me to do..and then suddenly u cakap tak boleh pulak skrg. I mean NOW??????!!! This is one week before do you know that???!! Don't you think I can't sleep peacefully now??
B: I'm sorry la cik Mariam. This DJ is not directly under us. We outsource him. So if he don't want to take the job, I can't force him lah. Sorry sangat2.
M: Hey what the hell which makes him think he can't do it. Its so simple. Play accordingly. I dah prepare CD2 tu. Dia play ikut my spec je la. Bukannye susah. Abis, are you saying he's the type who wants to work sesuka hati jek??Abis kalau orang kompang dia nak main gak lagu dia??!!!mesti la ikut cue! Takkan sesuka hati jek dia nak play lagu dia!

Bla bla bla bla....yada yada...
That was the first time I shouted at the vendor. I was at my boiling point.
You deserve it bitch!
I'm sorry if you say its not your fault. But IT IS coz I trusted you!
Who doesn't agree??angkat tangan! Berani la...;p

So guys. Hell kan? It is to me.

Now I have to find a new one. Pronto.I have one week to settle. A week which I'm suppose to be calm and smile. Happy. To avoid the pimples, wrinkles and dull skins caused by this kind of pressure. Am I sad? NO. I'm ANGRY!!!!

So now..who has contacts for DJ??

A well-equiped,nice, reasonable
one who is not as dumb and chicken as that ex DJ of mine??
Please..let me know ASAP.
Save me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

twisted

ytday was an eventful day.
there's two highlights.
but i can only write one of the highlight.

after an appointment at bukit jelutong, it was already dark, maghrib time.
and the road was probably jammed all over KL.
So i called my aunty, Cik Jijah who's living nearby.
Voila, I got free dinner and one hour full of
'interview', lecture, and advice pertaining my wedding prep.
Suddenly, she announced she wanted to go to Kajang, my parents house.
And I was like, "Cik so you want me to go too??"
She said, "Ya, u r the host and I'm gonna talk about you."
At that moment i knew I have to cancel, my Gossip Girl 2-paper bags-eat-sleep
night to one hell of a discussion night with the family. Aiyark!!!
But really, thank God she came with my uncle last night.
They pointed things we forgot and didn't see it coming.
Phew...extra works+extra RM flowing out. lalalalalala!
Extra headache.

Today, I woke up feeling lethargic and super lazy to go to work.
I slept at 2am.
Sleeping late while watching TV is so much different than sleeping late
because your head was on overdrive thinking about serious issues.

I hope, in one week, the madness will end. Can't wait for the Big Day.
I hate the chaos in my life and mood swings because of that one
big beautiful important day.
But chaos makes my life has a purpose-->to end the chaos.
No chaos-->No challenge-->boring-->like my job now.ouch!
But, its too much. My face skin's acting up. Tiny2 pimples showing up.
Hate you pimples!

I want to go back n sleep n clean up my messy house.
Its not a house anymore.
Like a shop. Like a store.
My wedding stuffs are all there. All over the house. Rimas!

It Has Got to Be Beautiful

Friends.
Friendship.

Its the most valuable thing in my life.

to all my friends...I love you.
to all my enemy...we used to be friends.
cherish our good times. coz i do.

In this peculiarly wierd moments in my life,
where everything is critically fragile,
I regain my friendship with my two beloved friends which
I almost lost them both in one year.
Beautifully, you both called me in the same day.
First long call after such a long time!
I guess we have outgrown our differences.
It has got to be beautiful.
To accept each other back in our lives..is one major thing.
It is so adult.
And above all, we know we love each other.

Thank you.
Thank you both of you.
You know who you are.
I pledge that I will be there for you when you need me like
how I need your soothing words at this moment.
Its the best gift for my wedding.
:)



And I am sorry for all the wrong reasons we fought.

Mixed Emotions

I dont know why i'm suffering from this overtly sensitive heart.
Despite me being a Cancerian, is there any other valid reason?
