Duit hantaran

Hi Dearies,

I have these issues about duit hantaran. Some people may have issue a cheque or some may have used cold hard cash.

For me I rather used cheque. 1stly I'm afraid that if i used cold hard cash the money will get lost! But here's the catch, biler bagi cheque pulak nanti banyak org mengata yang this is a blank cheque dalam bank cfrm tkde duit and etc2.

For myself I'm perfectly fine with it, we cant simply stop people from talking. But my mum she is to afraid that people might talk. I told her firmly, its my wedding and if people wana 'bark' let them 'bark'. I don't really give a damn. Its up to each individual to decide by giving cash or cheque!

Some couple may have used that hantaran for their honeymoon or bayar duit catering for their combined wedding or etc2. It is totally up to their choice. Its their wedding and not yours people. Btw hantaran is not a part of islamic laws in marriage, this is just a tradition from malay culture.

And yeah orang bagi sikit mengata, Orang tak bagi terus cakap orang tu takde duit and orang bagi lebih cakap macam nak jual anak. Susah betul lah nak zipped mulut orang nie.

If the guys ada kemampuan itu hak diorang nak bagi. Kalau the guys takde kemampuan then DONT give the heavy load to him. He may be working extra hours or part times for huge sum of money.

So apa2 pun biarlah there isnt a need to comment about hantaran. Itu hak masing masing. These topic can cause an out roar argument. Never ending story.

But InShaaAllah when I have a baby girl in future, I wont impose hantaran when there's a marriage proposal. Suka hati diorang lah nak bagi ke tidak. As I learnt about Islam, it really make me open my eyes regarding this issue.

Me being as guilty, I told fiance that I wont be spending this. I will keep this sum for our future house. Dia dah keluarkan duit banyak and I dont want him to struggle. I will keep half of the money for our future reno.

I just hope that the malay community will actually just keep such remarks to urself and stop talking bad on the wedding day of the newly wed. Do doa for the best for this couple and do not condemn them. :)

Till next post! Nites.. :)

Honeymoon destinations

Helo to my beautiful ladies.

Basically I went to Natas fair late Feb coz I wanted to survey the prices and see any nicest places and affordable places for our honeymoon so we can set our budget and book the trip at the next Natas fair.

We have few places in mind actually. The 1st few destinations that me and mister fiance planned was Greece or Maldives.

Why Greece?
Greece was superly nice! Athen, Mykanos & Santorini. Their water was beautiful. Alot of attractions and history there for learning. See the picture, so beautiful!





Prices range at Natas quite affordable athough we need to topup some amount. But the problem why we tend not to go as our wedding date will be held during Winter.
Although i have the extra 'babats' all ard me, I simply cnt stand cold weather. Some of the feedback I get from some of my frenz, they said that its kinda of waste of money for those who cant stand cold weather coz if too cold you wont enjoy walking ard the street. Which is true!
I dont want my honeymoon to end up in the hotel. And another factor is our leave, we are saving our leaves coz I have two travelling plans with friends and family. So me and fiance skip the idea of going Greece.

Second Maldives,
Maldives are popular destinations for honeymooners. The seas was crystal clear, white sands and u can see clearly what is beneath the sea when u  are snorkeling. And for leave plan, I need not worry coz it take few days only.





 The price for normal resorts was pretty decent. But! Me and mister is not those suka duduk diam in the hotel. Sightseeing is limited. Not much historical place that I can explore besides snorkeling and water sport which kinda expensive. So we will extend this trip to future plan just in case me and mister wanted to plan a baby. This place was suitable for that. hehe.

So we ended up choosing New Zealand if we have the budget, if not Krabi lah haha.
Okay why New Zealand?

Firstly it is summer. They have alot of sightseeing places there. I can actually take for a short 6 days 5 night trips which I can save up my leave. They still maintain their nature. Like mountains, sea, greenery which I like. It is quite a safe country.  The following are the few places we intended to go;

Waitomo Caves

Rotorua (They have sightseeing and fun activity too)


If I have the chance I will like to try this too! Adventure Jet! Shiok and thrilling. :)

And this is the main reason why I want to go New Zealand. Lord of the rings/The hobbitan tour set!! Haha. I told u I'm too obsessed with the movie. *Slapforehead!*

Actually we have some other places to visit. So currently I hope that mister managed to save enuf money for this trip. If we are aren't able to save much money than Im okay for Australia and Krabi. Hehe. 

Okaylah thats all ladies. Till next! :)

Beauty Product.

Hi ladies,

I have been reading good in reviews regarding Benefit cosmetics. Tried to get my brows done there but in the end there's alot of slots have been taken up! Boooo!!!

So I decided to get my brows done at my work place. It is painless and the beautician did it very softly.
And the out come i love it. Not to thin and not to thick. Atleast there's arc.

I hate going thru process for threading. Pls mind my face ok very the masai!



Ouh and I bought their famous product since people have been talking abt them, the PORE fessional.


 I might say this primer/face balm is expensive. Pricing is $49, bought at Sephora. So far the coverage was not bad lah. Simply love it. 

Not oily for my skin. I dont have the before and after look but will try to take pictures of my skin soon.

I have been using this cleanser & toner lately, very the 'alam'. Its cheap and not expensive. Affordable pricing. My skin actually turn out to be softer. So ladies you may try their different range.



So I have started my mask routine its either I use mustika ratu mask or Watson brand mask. So far it was great and love the relaxation feeling. In Shaa Allah will recommend a few beauty product if I found it good. 

Oklah gtg! Byez.. Oh btw will update abt the NATAS fair soon. :)
