Double Digit!

SELAMAT HARI RAYA SEMUA!

Alhamdulillah. Feel so blessed to have met another year and celebrate with the dearest family. Next year, with the hubby-to-be too. Chebah. Quick update on the wedding preps cause I have loads of exam papers to mark. 

The double digit countdown has started. 96 days to go! Pejam celik, pejam celik. So fast!


As other couple, we too were not spared from the cheeky makciks and pakciks, "Dah nak kahwin eh? He-he-he. Semua dah siap belum?" I guess all has been prepared. Card samples are ready. Send back to be verified and now waiting for the printing to be done. The fiance's card are ready! Exciting much. Very surreal to see you own name printed on the sample, what more the real card. Like, this is really happening, guys. Butterflies in the tummy moment.


Other than that, we had gone to the recent Natas Fair and FINALLY, booked our honeymoon package! We walked around with an open mind, no particular destinations in mind as long as it fits our budget. And as advised by our parents, or more like mine, we had to opt for a tour group. Its fine by us. Tak cerewet, tetap happy asal dengan si Dia. HAHA. Sayang awak lah. :)

And so, we are going to.. Europe! Never in a million years, I have dreamt of going to Europe for my honeymoon. Its still feels like a dream. Our package will be covering 3 countries, Switzerland, Paris and 2 free days of Dubai, yes, no joke. Dubai is FOC! Received loads of freebie too; 29" luggage, international adapter, card reader and lucky draw tickets. Perks of Natas Fair. Super, super like. 



Somehow, there is still a thousand and one things more to do. I simply don't understand. I'm glad that everything is going smoothly and all has been booked. Finally!

This is HOME (Part II)

Finally. THE DAY came!
The day to select our BTO. Exciting giler lah you.


We felt so blessed to have gotten an awesome ballot number. Its our third time applying so better be good right?! It was hard to contain our excitement. The fiance was already #jumpingaround #anxiety #taksabarnakmampos. HAHA.


And so, we chose the 8th floor! Ada 'ong' mah. Not a fan of high floors though. So many to sign, so many terms and condition. I was thinking that I DEFINITELY cannot do their job. I'm a mess. So much paperwork to do!


I swear I can stare at the house layout the whole day and berangan-angan of all the renovations, finishings, furniture and all sorts. :P Its interesting that all the units are corner unit in BTO these days. Confirm everyone would berebut to stay at the corner and not along the corridor. So yes, can't wait! 3-4 years time. Selamat, wedding expenses are settled.Time to save up for renovation ka-chings and also for a baby soon!

Old, OLD!

So, I've turned 25 last Saturday. Dah a quarter of a century lah seh! 


And to think about it, when I was younger, I thought 25 was OLD. Amek kau. DAH TUA.
But truth to be told, I dont feel any day older since I was 18/19. Still feels the same. 

Had a simple celebration affair with the family and the fiance on Saturday. Cake with the family after break fast. And I received the biggest gift from Mummy. A TV set for our bridal chamber aka bedroom! So sweet lah. :) Cant wait to finally put together the room in my house. Currently, the room is a store. For real. Can you believe it. Used to be a study room but left unused. So yar, shall save the story of doing up the room after puasa when FINALLY, it will be cleared up, painted, rewired; dan apa-apa lagi sewaktu dengannya.




On Sunday, it was a private affair with the beloved fiance. SUKER PLEASE! Had Max Brenner for the first time, (I know right. OMG.) and it was truly an overdose of chocolate. Crazehhh. Dont ignore diabetes people! I think we had enough chocolate to last a lifetime. But it was really good and rich. Note to self: Share the dessert and drink. Don't action and order one each. Pengsan. Manis potong kaki okeh.





And of course, a birthday present for me...


Tickets to 'The Phantom Of The Opera' at MBS. WAH! Banyak suker lah. Enjoyed myself thoroughly during 'Wicked'. I hope this would be awesome too! Last birthday as a single woman. Time sure flies.

By the way, we decided not to book our honeymoon during the Chan Brothers Travel Fair as we were quite apprehensive of the packages they offered. Pikir nye pikir, takut no halal food and also the company during the tour. We would definitely stick out like a sore thumb. So yar, I guess let's just stick to Muslim travel packages. No worries that way.


So blessed to be this happy. Alhamdulillah. :))

Almost ready!

Urgh. Back to work after the June holidays.
D R E A D F U L.
On the bright side, only 19 weeks left to the end of term 3 and 4. Cepatlah abis. Seksa!

Did loads of wedding stuff recently but just haven't had the time to update. Ok. So let's see.

1) Gotten BTO ballot number and selection date and time. *jumps for joy!*
1 August 2013, 10.15am. Yessaaa. Just in a few days time! Exciting giler lah. We have been looking around at some EC showrooms to get inspirations. Dah kater dah, excited tahap maksima. Padahal, siap 2017/2018.


2) Wedding card and bag for berkat checked.
Searched high and low. Alot of variety but all you can find in Malaysia is your typical wedding card. Looking for something more modern/ contemporary. Found a card to our liking at Joo Bee, Larkin. Auntie very friendly, good service and best of all, cheap! Part ni lah, akak-akak kawin suker. So, the fiance gotten his already. For me, I have to wait for the parents approval. Gotten our bag berkat from Kahwins next to Perling Mall.


The fiance's card sample. I like this! Yet to see mine, coz I is pasrah already. Parents deciding and settling it today. *Prays hard they choose the one I showed them*

3) Bedroom set.
This has got to be our best latest purchase. We had been receeing around so many places, too many places in fact, till my parents instead who were the ones who bought a new sofa set on one of the hunts. That escalated quickly parents!?!! So one day, the fiance's family, him and I went to Jusco, Tebrau to watch a movie, White House Down, which was surprisingly good by the way.

We stumbled upon this furniture shop there, White House. How apt. Looked at the bedroom sets. Ok lah. Nice, huge ass wadrobe, white and black furnishings. Asked for the price and it was RM 2880+. Suddenly, it striked us- Can be delivered to Singapore? How much transport fee?
And, YES! They do and for only RM 300 more. We were HOOKED. Contempleted whether to go ahead with the purchase and after much thought, since we were going to leave this set at my house after getting our own place later on, we simply needed a cheap one that can last for about 5 years. And whether safe, reliable? We will only know when we get it delivered. We decided to get it! At the price of about SGD 1300, YES, we have a bedroom set ladies and gentleman. Best buy evaaaaa.


All set and done! Left with electronic goods for our dulang exchange and all the remaining payments. Need to set up appointment with Mak Andam after raya. And of course, honeymoon *coughs hornymoon coughs* left to book too.  

Wishing everyone selamat berpuasa!
Last raya and puasa as a single lady. :))

This is HOME

Oh-emm-geee!
I cannot contain my excitement that I totally have to blog again. 
2 posts in 1 day, tkde keje budak ni. Many good things happening in a day.

Today is the BTO balloting results for May BTO 2013. I swear if they were to track people who log-in with their Singpass at HDB website, I will be the number 1 on their stalker list with most number of times logging in. (I'M CRAZY LIKE THAT. DEAL WITH IT HDB.)

So, syukur Alhamdulillah, we are going to have a house. *Throws confetti in the air!* We are meant to stay in Woodlands. I knew it!



Alhamdulillah, all our preparations are going as planned. Third time is definitely a charm. :)

Strike them off!

Strike (1)!
So, we've done our online registration and booked our kadi- Ustaz Maarof Mohd. Parents' family friend. Girls, make sure you have all you need before booking ie.
bride/ groom/ wali/ 2 saksi IC numbers. And that you're preferred kadi has opened up his booking slots. Had some problems with this initially. Bleah.


Strike (2)! 
We've booked our void deck as well! Wanted to do at some fancier place, but oh wells, you all tau je lah parents macam maner. It's ok, void deck is bigger, accessible, more parking lots and best part, SUPER CHEAP. $180 for 3 days.


Strike (3)!
And you're out. And we can get married already lah! Got our ROMM verification settled. Alhamdulillah. :)
The fiance kept saying that the song Skyfall kept playing in his head. 
"This is the end. Hold your breath and count to ten.." Ape pula this is the end?! Takut nak kawin ke bang?!

HAHA. But, I do admit, the session with the kadi was so formal that it felt stressful. But, no worries, no hot seat questions that everyone has been scaring us with. Simply, whether we are already married to another and verify info details. Phew, selamat. Abang tunang kiter dah standby kat luar nak revise lah konon sebelum tu. HAHA.


Settling more and more things. This June has been a good, productive one. :)
