Reception Venue

Hola gorgeous out there!

Lama kan i menyepi sbb since dah start keje at new place i mmg sibuk sgt.
Plus, kat office i xde internet sbb opis kedekut x nak staff curi tulang la tuh.. and my job description needs me to work 6 days a week! *hamik kau gatal tukar keje lagi*
But to be honest, i love my new job so far la kan...

Ok, back to the main subject about my reception venue. The old plan was to have it at home just because my cousins n aunties yg beria xkat dewan sbb x meriah and susah nak bermesra-mesra ni..
But bila dah duduk berbincang with my parents about the pros and cons, we chose to do it indoor.

Pengalaman during my sister's wedding few years back made us sgt2 serik sbb during the event hujan turut selebat2nya together with angin ribut. Canopy dah terangkat2 and ada a few things b'terbangan. To my surprise, I totally didnt recall that situation but masa dok berbincang barulah i tau. *i rasa ingatan i ada hilang sikit2 la, maybe i ada terhantuk ke or banyak makan semut ni* ahaha


Since my parents dah agree on dewan, mcm lipas kudung i google here & there, jump from one blog to another looking for list dewan yg ada in Shah Alam. Among yg i dah call/jumpa were:

• Intekma Hotel & Resort 

My mom said the food there mmg sedap *she went there for my neighbor's wedding but i rasa       ok2 je masa my ex-schoolmate kawin dulu* we didnt book Intekma because package yg di offer x best. Everything must be in-house tapi diorng punya deco + pelamin ala2 zaman my sister kawin tahun 2006. Apa kes? So, NO NO NO.. next!

• Dewan Cattleya (Wisma PKPS)

I guess semua dah tau yg the main caterer for dewan ni is Pak Engku of Kuzie Catering. Based on review other bloggers said food dia mmg sedap plus the dewan itself mmg dah Vavavoom meletop! I called the PIC of the dewan but xde rezeki i sbb date tu dah fully booked! So, next!

• Dewan Banquet Hotel De Palma

Yang ni i call je and asked about the packages etc. Date yg i nak tu dah ada org block but no deposit paid yet. The PIC asked me to wait for a couple of days to confirm ngn i. Adat b2b last minute mcm i, mana boleh tunggu lama2.. masa itu EMAS! While waiting, i gagah mencari yang lain...

• Dewan Warisan (Dewan Warga Emas, Seksyen 24)

Biasalah ini adalah dewan komuniti. Luaran building dewan ni nampak cantik la jgk compared to dewan komuniti lain2 kat Shah Alam ni. Bahagian dalam dewan ni ialah court badminton which parquet dia banyak calar2 n terkopak2. Dinding ada banyak bird droppings & cellophane tape melekat sana sini. Tadak akon *eh!*

According to the PIC dewan tu akan di refurbish by 2011, parquet nak polish, dinding cat baru and aircond nak install. But dia x boleh confirm bulan bila ianya akan terlaksana. *Ini apa kes, aku nak kawin bulan March tau, jgn main2* Maka terhasil la entry mencari carpet in my previous post. Hahaha my mom x prefer dewan ni sbb risau dewan ni x sempat siap. Teeettt!

Pssstt.. sewa dewan untuk 2011 dah naik jadi RM3,000 from RM1,500 previously!

• Kelab Shah Alam

Aha! Aku malas nak cakap banyak, ni la dewan reception aku nanti. Kenapa pilih dewan ni? Sebab aku dah xde masa nak gi survey dewan2 lain and menanti penuh harapan untuk dewan2 sebelumnya. I lari from office during lunch time, met my parents there and discuss briefly and YES, my dad ckp lets proceed! He paid for the booking the next day. *Thanks ayah!*

p/s: Esok nak pegi Pameran Pengantin di SACC dgn membawa harapan berjumpa dengan caterer dan si pembuat pelamin + deco dewan. Aminn~ kalau terjumpa kami, silalah tegur ya!

Change of Venue

Wowww...

It's been a while since d last time i'm writing here..

Well, been busy with raya celebrations, open house yada yada.. and been in between jobs for a month++ and now im back to work again with a giant company.. trust me its so GIANT! ;) heee~

So far the wedding preps is going smoothly in progress.. but there might be changes in venue for both bride n groom sides. After discussing of pros n cons, this that we now opt to hold both of the events INDOOR concept.. and also if everything's paid and confirmed, another change might happen as well.. yes its the DATE! The date of my reception only.. ;p

Ive made a few calls to the halls management and one of them if already booked on the 13th March. If we still insist of having the reception there, the date must be changed.. *apa-apa je lah labuuuu~*

Tomorrow fiance, mom and i are going to have a tour to survey for the halls in Shah Alam. Hopefully it will be a fruitful one for us.. insyaallah!

Till then,

Entry Gembira

Salam bloggers,

Motif apakah pagi2 buta pukul 1am tak tido2 lagi? Haruslah curi masa kejap nak menulis kann..

Yesterday, i berbuka with my ex-schoolmate a.k.a Gang GGP at Bagan Hailam, Port Klang. It was my first time pegi sana. I didnt expect too much from it.. sbb from my experience makan kat Muara Ikan Bakar, Port Klang mmglah x best kan..

Nama restoran ni Bagan Seafood Restaurant and it's a wholy owned by Kelana Jaya Seafood Restaurant. Sapa2 nak buat reservation boleh call the manager, mr. chong at 016-308 8488.

Surprisingly semua food yg kitorang ordered sgt fabulous. We had ketam kam hiong, butter prawn, sotong masak madu, steam siakap, ayam masak cili, kailan ikan masin, asparagus goreng belacan and tomyam campur. Wow.. mmg terbaik masakan dia *I give 4.5 stars ok!*

Sapa2 yang nak try seafood area2 klang / port klang, i totally recommend this place. Mmg x menyesal!

Ok enuff about iftar. I nak story about perjumpaan ex-hsemate kat Pappa Rich, KD. Sgt2 excited sbb lama x hang out and this time Ms.X dapat join skali! *minah ni sgt2 busy.. benci ai tau*

We talked about wedding preparations this and that yada yada.. oh my banyak rupanya yang i amik ringan and Ms.X was so helpful.. in fact, we are going to see a few designers which happen to be her friends. Some of the names mmg di gilai oleh b2b out there. Insyaallah we'll be getting good price too! Yayyy!! *thanks dear i love u mucho!*

Insyaallah the appointments semua after Ramadhan. I have to mengerah tenaga sepenuhnya, full swing coz the clock is ticking.. i've 6 months left nak prepare semua benda. *sgt x kose ok! nikah kat pejabat pendaftar je terus lagi senang kan? sighhh~*

Now time to kumpul material *eceh, curik pictures yg berkenan, print and mintak planner / designer re-sketch saja*

Ok now boleh tido..

Wedding Planner

Selamat tengahari bloggers and especially to all b2b out there..

Hari ni i nak sambung cerita kisah wedding planner yang i jumpa masa Promosi Kerja Kahwin kat Jalan Conlay baru-baru ni. So, lets start dengan review about the event itself. I suke sangat sbb 1st time i pegi wedding exhibition and sangat teruja. I masuk2 je dah start rambang mata. Mungkin the ambiance buat i kerkinja-kinja nak kawin.

Mula2 masuk hall A utk door gift, souvenirs plus ade baju2 batik. I berkenan dengan a few barang but still put on hold sbb xde finalized plan with my parents lagi. Then moved to hall yg ada photographer, tukang andam, tukang buat hantaran la... i berkenan yg Haidar Rahman sbb tgk hasil kerja dia pn boleh tahan. Plus dia ada offer a few packages which for me quite reasonable harganya.

Jalan2 tgk pelamin yada yada, maka sampailah ke hall yang berkumpulnya banyak wedding planner dan caterer. Part ni mmg i teruja sampai i terlupa langsung kat mr.H. Time ni mata dah tak tentu arah mencari pelamin2 anggun. Mata ni dok tgk nama2 planner ni, famous ke tidak, molek ke tidak. 

First persinggahan di booth Readzul Creation sbb pelamin dia dok melambai2 je suruh singgah. I pun berbincang la about my concept and mintak quotation. *masa mula2 sampai plan i nak yang ala konsep ABC.. hati dah nekad ni, tapi bila bincang dan2 terus tukar ke konsep XYZ.* Cepat sungguh berubah hati ni. I personally talked and discussed with Read and what i requested were mini pelamin for nikah, pelamin under canopy utk reception, deko meja beradap, arch + walkway, deko tangga n bilik pengantin plus mini deko meja makan tetamu. He said he'll be using artificial + fresh flowers and he quoted RMxxxx for all. As for me mcm reasonable sbb i x penah buat survey apa2 pun kan. 

Then proceed to other booths. Jalan2 sampai la ke Ari Wedding Couture. Skali lagi i kene rasuk dgn pelamin dia. Cantik sgt berkonsepkan Moroccan. Maka, i pn berbincang and request sama yg i tanya Read tadi. Harga yg diberikan pn sama tapi dengan tambahan 2 pcs. of handbouquet plus semua deko guna fresh flowers. 

Now hati ni dah berbelah bahagi. I know semua harga ni boleh di negotiate lagi. *dengan harapan la kan*

Dalam pada i sibuk berdikusi dgn planner, rupanya mr.H dok mencari planner for his reception. *pandai pun!* Dia berkenan dengan Persada Embun. I pun suka jgk and kami berbincang konsep sbb reception mr.H will be held in Taman Tasik Metropolitan, insyaallah. So, konsepnya Garden Wedding la kan. Harga yg di quote oleh Abg. Yusof ni sama mcm yang the other 2 planners but bg just buat for pelamin, deko khemah n arch + walkaway shj. But according to Abg. Yusof, design dia mmg one and only for his clients. He will personally design and proposed based to our ideas. Possibility utk kami hire dia is 20% je. Haishh~

So, kerja2 pemilihan wedding planner masih dlm perbincangan and now masa utk hunting caterer sbb hari tu i totally x jengah langung booth caterer ni. Sapa2 boleh recommend caterer yang best with reasonable in area KL and Selangor dialukan berkongsi ye. Thanks!

Mini Hapdet Persiapan Kawen!

Morning dear bloggers!

Awalnya i dah start membebel kat blog ni.. sbb since pukul 5am i dah start mencucuk bunga for hantaran.. ihsan dr seorang kawan so, i pun sanggup la bersengkang mata! *nasib baikla 2 dulang je, one is sirih junjung n one more is bekas cincin*

Alrite,
According to my wedding ticker, i have 7 months 4 days left till my solemnization day, insyaallah.. but so far preparation progress sgtla mcm siput *tuttt* berlari.. i sgt2 sibuk ok!

So, far i dah booked MUA for the wedding events. Penat la i dok survey2 mencari MUA yg i berkenan tapi ehem ehem.. MUA yg dah ada nama ni biasala harga pn mmg agak tinggi la kan.
I berkenan ngn Tiar Zainal but i x mampu nak hire dia.. i sedih ok! :(   I suke jgk dgn Salima but date i dah di ambil org.. *btw, Salima ni based kat mana eh?*

Sudahnya, i pun hire my MUA for my engagement ari tu.. I hire Madam Hana for my solemnization and majlis bertandang nanti. As for my reception, i hire assistant Saidatulnisa. Nama dia Kak Liza. *ni pn sbb si Yuyu dok recommend sbb katanya makeup Kak Liza ni cantik n natural*

Nak sambung cite pasal pelamin, wedding planner yada yada yang i jumpa masa Promosi Kerja Kahwin kat Jln Conlay last weekends..  tapi i dah penat sgt ni and mau sambung tido kejap. Tengahari nanti insyaallah mahu ke Jakel, Shah Alam bersama bonda tercinta. Cuci2 mata tengok kain, survey harga dulu. Insyaallah boleh cari the same material kat Bandung dengan harapan harganya murah! *psstt.. siapa2 tau nama kedai yg best utk cari kain di Bandung, sila share ya!*
