We made it!

The month of June is here! Horray! 

BE WARNED: Brace yourself. A long entry is coming.

Loads to do. Or is there? The fiance thinks I'm getting too worked up about this whole wedding thing. Actually kan, I pun raser gitu. Never I thought I would have a bridezilla in me. (It's shows up a bit at times. A bit only, I HOPE.)

One major thing we had done this month was to get our wedding favours. Rejoice! We decided on getting the same item cause we absolutely LOVE how practical and useable it is. Not a fan of getting wedding favours that serves no purpose. And how we got the idea/inspiration was kinda hilarious and all another story. HAH. Anyways, our item is.. 

*cue drumrolls*: TEA! 

I am an ABSOLUTE fan of tea. After discussing with our parents, they love it too and were into it cause everyone drinks tea and you can keep it over a year and use a sachet a day. So then, comes our quest on finding an affordable teabox and a tasty one while we are at it. Boy, we tried SOOOO many many many teas. My kitchen has a variety of tea sachets at the moment. TWG, Dilmah, Lipton, Sri Wangi. U name it. But, unfortunately, the problem was its freaking expensive in Singapore. Imagine getting a 1000 of it. $$$. Shoots self in the head. 

We had to outsource. To our amazement, we found the perfect choice at such an affordable rate, kalau nak beli beribu-ribu pun I tak kisah you, in Batam. Yeap. So, here comes the hard yet fun part of getting it home.

We went for a 2D1N Batam trip, both families, to carry them all home. Yes, ALL.1100.OF.THEM. Two families, means 2200 home. CRAZY OR WHAT.

Started the day with our ferry trip. Everyone, except his brother. His helper was there too. She was really a great help. Look at the happy faces. In lala-land not knowing what we were getting ourselves into. HAH.

Went around the island. Shopped like mad. Everything is so CHEAP! Its so crazy.

Don't have pics of transporting the boxes of tea cause the men of the group went to get it. Basically, it was in the hotel room after taking it. Then, that night, the mummies and daddies, pack them on trollies, big black canvas bags and in luggages. Each person was tasked to carry around 4-5 boxes worth of teabox. Mampoz. Berat giler lah.

WE MADE IT! I don't usually go shopping in Batam, but when I do... ZOMG. One thing I'm really happy is that we all got along so well. Heart-warming to see everyone enjoyed each others company, the folks and the kids. One big happy family. Mummies and daddies dah plan next big family trip lah. Happening lah seh.

Collage summing up the whole trip. Im so thankful for all the wonderful people in my life. Our parents- for layan-ing our demand of giving teabox as wedding favours and arranging this trip, his helper- for getting a contact and settling it there, our siblings- willingly/unwillingly-family-nyer-pasal-terpaksa-ikutkan and helping in the transporting of the wedding favours and of course the love of my life, for this trip was the best with him. :)

Dah macam amik Emmy Awards lah pulak.
