Enchanted Wedding did it again!!

Heyaz,

After coming back home from Islamic class, I have seen updates from Amani Wedding & Fizita Events that caterer didnt show up. They didnt mentioned the names but when my bestie forward me an instagram videos when I see the wedding caterer name I just said 'Again'...

Here is a link https://www.facebook.com/heyfuzy/posts/719073484772884 for you to see2 and look2..
One of my friend told me that they had these greed when their business started to boom. How she know that coz one of her kenalan, is a fren of these wedding service provider. Imagine 5 wedding in one day macam mana nak handle bro??

So people before you engaged a caterer, pls do some research. Well for me I did alot of research before i engaged and affordable price for me since we are doin a separate wedding, I wont want to spulrge my expenses that much for a wedding event as what I've learnt frm my religious class perkahwinan sederhana membawa berkah.

 *Side track* Before we decide to get serious, we also need to go islamic classes regarding bab2 Fiqh, tauhid and etc. Kl dgr bab responsibilities after marriage and abt death lagi seram dok!
Sumpah!!First of all Im not a tudung2 type of gurl but I just want my hubby to be an Imam after I got married to him and guide me along the way. In Shaa Allah.

Back to the caterer issues.. I research about wedding caterers after our engagement. My budget is within $14K. My mum told me to get a reasonable price and got reasonable amount of food. Mak2 kan dia prangai macamtu.  After I research about the reputation of the company and the comments that people gave, I have chosen 5 wedding caterers without knowing the price yet. So I start emailing these Cateres on Jun 13.

1st) Istana Weddings
I know them when I follow my my mum to a majlis during my polytechnic years. The food was awesome. Deco ok not bad juga.. But the price sikit punya mahal, kl nak udang or ikan or what kene add on price. And the basic food pkg jek dah $17K. So my mum say scrap, she told me that she wouldnt want to see her daughter suffer saving money! hehe..

2nd) Charisma D'venue
I Fall in love with the food when I went for lunch with my mum. My mum love it alot. Nasi briyani dia peh sedap! Macam Indian style lah sey. I have Indian blood background from both maternal and paternal grandparents so tekak ni ada lah sikit2 tekak org2 india.. hehe... Alot of artist have eaten there and yeah they just earn 100 Excellent Service Award for 2013/14 tak worry sgtlah kan. If we want to do at their restaurant for one day event its within my budget but the food tk bnyk but malam rewang ada susah sikit coz Im thinking of doing Marhabban and Qatam Al Quran, fikir balik I need to add on lagi.  (So we choose this as our top 3)


3rd) Irmaya Wedding Gallery
These caterer the price was under my budget and banyak makanan. Comment at FB seme good comment and makanan not bad. Out in the newspaper for good compliment frm customer even help a customer who is 'teraniya'. Dapat 100 Excellent Service Award 2013/2014. Pernah buat wedding event fr Artist Malaysia Noraniza Idris. Wedding Deco I super like lah! Tgk lah nie colour dia! Ya Ampun!! So we choose this as our top 3.


4th) Farah Diana Catering
1st the price it fits my budget well and payment term not like other caterer need to collect 90% one mth before the wedding date which I no need to worry that much. But their food is ok2 to me. Abit skeptical of taking. But not to worry people I have saw good comments regarding them so you can take them If you want.

5th) Amani Weddings
Well known caterer. Dah dgr macam2 award dia dapat. Love their deco especially now they had do a collaboration with ISS weddings. Suka sangat2. Makanan not bad. But when we look at the $14K pkg kite abit hampa. Food not that much. But these is under our top 3 too.

So as you all know I have chosen Irmaya Weddings Gallery. Coz my mum feel oklah the food like gerek to her. So me & mum set an appointment on the month of Ramadhan coz I started to panic when she informed her Dec 2015 is fully book! Yes you got it right! Kak Maya and hubby only handle two events per week as they do want their hand got tied up and they arent afraid to handle in future. 

After hearing their pkg is like evrything seme dah include. wedding pkg (Click here)
The free gift was unexpected. Coz iniatialy all the free gift doesnt include. After the discussion and mum was satisfied, she told me can go ahead book them. $1000 deposit and  only need to pay 70% before 1 month.. So yeah.. Maybe rezeki bulan Ramadhan. I do not need to think nk bayar nie kat lain org bayar tu kat lain org.
Oh she even say to mum that on the day of event, she will call my parents to the dapur and have the taste of it. If ada kurang she can ask her cooker tambah the rencah2 yang kurang. When I think of that, I was like fuh this is a good wedding strategy.
Choose the deco 3 mths before the events and I can ask Kak Maya to help looking around for hantaran for staff price also as she got alot of contacts. 
So Alhamdullilah, me and mum feel satisfy with her service and hopefully tak regret taking her up!

28th Sept 13

Heloooo,
Just came back frm celebrating my belates 1 year 8 mths.. Our 1st celebration after 1 year 8 mths together.. So the nonsense, alot of couple evry mth celbrate.. 1 year celebrate besar besaran.. but idk why we suddenly have an feeling2 urge to celebration.. Oh Well... Wana plan this also makan masa 2 weeks which kite had alot of hip cups in between..
Ouh well mister is not those lelaki2 yg romantis! He had been always relying on me on our date... Bosankan? He doesnt know how to make surprise,mesti I know his plannya!! Nak kol or msg malam pun susah.. If he does he rather listen to me talking.. My voice is like a lullaby ah agaknye.. Penat membebel him..
Wana say something sweet pun tungang langgang dialog dia.. Ya Ampun!!! Pendek kata mister lurus bendol lah..
Sumpah boleh sakit jiwa kadang2.. But on the other note.. He has those patience, not those tantrum2 type of guy.. Never sekat me from going out with frenz.. Understanding.. A person who is rajin mencari rezeki.. Allah doesnt create every person a perfect character.. I believe every guy has his own winning point.. So I kinda bersyukur getting a cool guy like him..
I love his fatherly and husband character.. Oh well... At times we have arguments.. But arguments is normal fr org2 bertunang.. Its how we handle situation..
Whateva it is In Shaa Allah my future husband gonna be a great dad! 

So Im thinking of having our outdoor photoshoot at lower/Upper Pierce Reservoir. A nice and relaxing views.. Below are some picture we took and from google source...
So till next entry! :)

HDB Application

HDB Application...

I think late Sept 12 when there's notification of Nov 12 Bedok BTO.. Mister dgn selamba nye mentioned "Shall we apply for Bedok BTO since I know that you really want Bedok housing estate as your future home?"
I was browsing shoes at that moment and look at him with the expression of "Giler ke ni org!"..

And all of the place he found courage to ask me while Im browsing shoes!! Seriously..
And at that point of time I told him give me sometime coz late grandpa is critically ill..
Hospital is like my 2nd home fr almost 2 mths...

After Arwah meninggal then I decided to carry on with the application Fengshan Greenville..
Like its a good opportunity since both me and mister neighbourhood at bedok!
We apply the house without my parents knowing coz I wana surprise her coz she really want me to sty at Bedok badly.

Oh sebelum tu.. The price!!! Punya lah mahal!! 4 rooms ranging $370,000-$460,000!! So I calculate nye calculate CPF kite dua.. (Prangai Finance part gini, Maklumlah keje pun under Finance dept kan).. Alhamdullilah our combination cpf dah lebih dari 10% of the unit price.

So we applied.. The ballot was out on Dec 12 I think.. We got a queue no! Surprisingly 1st timer! Excited sgt.. Although no queue 'terout by a few people'.. But its fine for us as we are really confident that lower level units would not be filling up that fast. We planned to take level two unit, my prangai is typical melayu doesn't like higher level units, segan dgn lift rosak! And the amount $380, 000 pun within our budget. Some of my friends comment by that kind of amt you can get 5 rooms flat at Sengkang and Punggol!

But hey I have alot of valid reasons why I chose Bedok;
1) I badly want to stay near with my parents and future in laws. They are old people anything happen to them we can quickly zoom to their places.
2) I want my mum to take care of my child rather than childcare centre coz I know she gonna bring up my children with good discipline and good Islamic background.
3) Both me and mister working place is at east area so its convenient for both of us to werk.
4) Bedok= food heaven. Kalau tak masak can drop by any part of Bedok and you can find delicious food stall evrywhere
5) Bus, MRT transport senang nak dapat kat bedok.. Easy to go to town areas and shopping centre.
6) I cant stand Ulu places like Sengkang and Punggol.. sungguhseram.com
And etc.. Kl nak list down never ending story kan!

Pendek kan cerita Mar 2013 we go for our 1st appointment to pay booking fees of $2,000 to chop our units!

We booked our flat 187A and 2nd level!
And it is nearer to the market and coffeeshop that we can just cross over that small road.
And we so happy with it.

After 4 mths, lama ke ape nk bagi duit $2,000 balik..
And why it takes us 4 mths 1stly we apply for AHG. I emailed the HDB after 3 mths why it took so long for our application to get an approval.  This mister betol nye pandai he overlooked the letter that HDB sent requesting for his part time job payslip..
But retrieving his payslip, its not easy.. Finance dept dia punya lah slow, si mister pun leh relax tk chase.
I yg almost everyday membebel.. I just want our HDB application to settle and after that we can concentrate on surveying our caterer.

Atlast after 2 weeks, we manage to settle. And the letter came, kite cuma dapat grant $10,000 jek! Nasib baik we apply AHG before end of July, mister gaji naik nearly $3K and mine $2K+ kalau tk, hmmm lagi gigit jari!  Our appointment was on the 2nd week of puasa and its on Sunday.. We take the floorings seme and it the price is $388,590! *Faint* haha...

But overall, Im just happy to get Bedok as my future home town! Alhamdullilah......................


PS: My mum really excited when she knew that I will be living near her..

Mister & Me Story..

Ok these is the story of I meet my fiance...

We actually dont have the a lovey dovey relationship.. Kinda of straight forward.

We know each other I think ard Jul 2011. Kite kenal2 thru a circle of friends and social media website.
That time when i know him, his relationship with his ex tgh rocky di ambang-ambang perpisahan tgh tunggu masanya jek.. 

Kite exchange no sal kawan jek pe.. But I really tkde niat apa2 pun just friends amd masa tu masih nk travel seme.. And slalu nasihat kan dia suro baik2 dgn gf dia.. 

And one day he broke up with his gf.. Tu time lah kite makin laju msg n koling2.. Masa tu pun dia tk ingat nk matair2 dia cuma nak kawan.. And we went out for few times when we suddenly get together naturally on Jan 17th 2012.. And 1st date is duduk tepi laut at East Coast makan Macdonald! OMG Budget pe nie org!
Ok nak cerita pasal incident yg tidak ku boleh lupakn..
1 week after matair, Kite naik motor nk g makan.. & that's when tali bag putus and my bag drop kat PIE nak masuk Eunos.. *Slapforehead* Panic lah sey!
Dalam bag ada hp, ada wallet, ada bnyk impt barang2 nad my HP baru beli 1 mth!!! *Drama2* Malu!!!
Mister berhenti kat road shoulder. And walk all the wy back nk amek my bag.. YaAllah in my heart dah berdoa nye doa.. Dangerous kan dia nak amek bag tu kat expressway lagi tgh bnyk kereta.. 

Finally a good driver, saw mister nak amek beg tu and slow down give way to him.. Thats why in my heart cakap my hero.. *Feeling2 macam cerita hindustan* Nasib baik lah kene dia.. Kl kena ex aku confirm plus chop kene maki!

Amazingly hp yg baru beli tu maseh in good condition lah sey!! Although my bag had been smashed with a few cars.. Syukur!! 

Ouh so after few mths he popped up an idea of buying an HDB flat kat bedok.. So I know that is his hint nak kawin.. I was like, "Ehk2 org nie kan baru few mths matair.. asal tetiba nak kawin.." So yeah I mntk time coz that period was a bz period my late grandfather is sick and two mths we have been in n out hospital.. 

After Arwah nye meninggal I still ingat his pesanan asking mister to take care of me... So after a long thot, I pun agree.. Apply BTO (will story which BTO kite apply later on) and 1st time dapat lah sey..

And that BTO is his and my hometown right now.. We dun wana get out frm here.. Bersyukur.. And from that on we plan to get engaged on 24th Feb 13.. Buat kecil2.. Alhamdullilah evrything went smoothly..

Ouh yeah we didnt know that our fathers members! So terperanjat! Nasib baik members.. And we are a distance relatives got to know it 2 days b4 engagement!! Most me and his fren know each other... My bro fren is his fren.. Ketentuan Illahi..  

Once I ask him, why you choose me to be your wife whereas we in a relationship not long ago.. Why you and your ex have been with each other for 4 years not yet together?
His answer was "After me and you were together.. I pray and one night I dream of us.. Together as a family happy faces with a lil kid.. Never dream wif anyone like that before.. And after a few mths I have strong feeling that you're the one.. Although you are fierce!"

Sweet pulak! Honestly I cried!

His not romantic type and we tak lovey dovey type when kite in a relationship.. Lepas dah tunang nie baru terasa feeling tu strted.. And In Shaa Allah we will get there.. :)
