at last!

ok.. i finally get some good rest.. and another off day ( dun ask).. so i'll do the update 1 post at a time. a long winded post is so not it. hee.

The Engagement

yea.. i know its 3 weeks due. but hei! its my engagement k. it was really2 hectic.. building up to the day. my parents & caveman were probably driven up the walls w/ my paranoia antiques. i cant help it la. i m a super planner. i analyse & reanalyse everything. no good for mommy. hehe! but i just cannot accept "releks la". worst " relek la. its just an engagement" arghhhh!! i was freaking out.. kept thinking.. gotta pee.. gotta pee! hahah! called bestie in cairo.. really wished yummy mummy & tall munchkin were there. but m sure they're thinking of me on dat saturday. hehe!

but praise to Allah.. it turned out soo right.

1. the weather was perfect. it was bloody hot the days before. but on the 19th.. and 20th.. it was windy.. the sun was up just right. perfect.

Note : pray and pray for a perfect weather on my wedding is my top priority now

2. the food was just right. i was freaking out. basically we all have never tried this caterer's food. which was recommended by another caterer. whom was too busy to take up our event. his lost. hah! the menu was.. lauk2 kampung. yummy. by 2.00.. ayam goreng sume abis. guests whom arrived at 3.. only manage to get the fishes. and the cupcakes were the star of the day. everyone loved em! thanks KuE

it was still the talk (the cupcakes) of the day.. till this day. my sis in law complained she didnt get em.. so did my mak andam. and so does a few more. maybe should get some for em. they were a huge help.

Note : helpers must get allocated goodies

3. mak andam. a frightening experience. lucky me i insisted on a try out. well.. being my sis in law's friend.. boleh la kan i nak mengada ngada. hahah! and it turned out.. masyaAllah. so i insisted on using my own foundation.. and it turned out just the way its supposed to be. hee. its weird looking at my pix in makeup. and caveman, being a makeup hater.. luved it. phew. selamat. hee.

Note : insist on trial make up session

4. the reception was noted as a quaint, cute but over the top reception. my comment? i didnt spend a bomb & it was so me. problem is, i have 12 months to plan a wedding that can beat this engagement. hahahaha!

Note : less is definitely more

5. families and friends came. some didn't get to stay long. some travelled the nite before. some got lost along the way. some thought they got lost. some had a mini holiday w/ their families.. hit the beach folks! i luv the fact that they're using my engagement as a proxy for them to spend some good times at the beach w/ their families. hee. some even forgot there's an engagement.. and came after hitting the beach, when there's only fishes left. haha!

Note : must improve on the map. KM must be noted in. hee. done.

my mom's bestfriend told me.. after the engagement.. she liked it so much, she wanna get engaged. again. hahahahah!

Many thanks to families who came all the way from Kedah, Johor, KL, N9, everywhere! and friends.. Maya ( for the lovely hantarans).. KuE (for the cuppycakes).. Hani (for coming all the way)..
