149 Days Left!

Tick tok Tick tok! 147 Days left!

Yesh, I have been MIA-ing myself for almost 2 months. Oh well too tired to post a blog post these 2 months with the festive season and all. Well hope you ladies out there have fun with the raya outing!

We have book our tok kadi already! We actually look one by one and asked around reviews. We want Tok Kadi yg tak banyak cakap sgt coz I kesian my fiancé. As far as I’m concern sebelum Nikah the guys are nervouse. They just want it to end fast. Kesian member hati dak dup dak dup if the tok kadi banyak penyampaiannya. So yeah after much consideration, we choose Ustaz Noor Bin Rawi. Pls see HERE for the video. 

Why him? My friends and his friends took him as their Tok Kadi and they said his penyampaian simple, short and sweet. So we quickly book him and so we are the 1st to book him on that day! Yippeee!!!

We register through ROMM online. What information require from us?

1. : Brides & Groom details (IC No)
2. : Wali Name & IC No
3. : Your 2 witness details and IC No (1 represent the bride side & 1 represent the groom side)
4. : Hantaran & Mahr
5. : Nikah venue

There are other simple questionnaire you need to answer which it will take about 15 mins at most. At the end of everything we need to pay $39 for the registration fee. 

Both Bride and groom together with the bride's Wali are required to report to the Registry at least 5 weeks before your solemnization date. 

So will be going by end of November for the interview. :P

For honeymoon wise fiancé and I have been fickle minded changing countries from New Zealand, Koh Samui, Australia, Swiss & Korea. The factor why we kept changing destination is because of our leave and we do not want to spend much on honeymoon coz we are going for another 2 trips which one of it is Europe trip with the friends. So now we just wait till NATAS and grab whatever we can.

So yeah my next post is going to be about my long overdue highlight of tool kit cause so yeah stay tune. 

Cuppies

Hi ladies, 

Juz want to share a very good delicious cuppies made by a home based baker.

I got to tell you ladies that her cuppies can lawan Fluff already lah.

I rdered 2 box of Red Velvet, Salted caramel and Ondeh-Ondeh. The cake itself were very soft, tak bederai. The fillings adoi rase dia flavour. They were not too sweet. Just nice. U can see the fillings looks like on her instagram reviews from customer. I bought it for my mum, cuzz and aunty who is a fussy eater and they give a very good review. 

The cuppies cost $3 each. Self collection at Bedok when you order. The menu is at below. You may request for special order and mix match. The lady was a sweet person and she can take constructive comment so that she can improvise her cuppies. One thing abt ordering her cuppies is I no need to queue just tell her our prefered date and we can collect at her house. So that basically it. I owe a post regarding my Financial toolkit seminar. It will take quite sometimes to post. InShaaAllh pretty soon. Selamat berpuasa. 

MENCARI CINTA

Interesting books for brides!

Hi All,

Hows your Ramadhan going? Hope it was a great kick start for you ladies out there.

Recently I've found to books which is great for BTB's out there. Maybe some of you have already know abt these 2 books but for the benefit of some ladies who didnt know I suggest that you read these 2 books.

Reclaim Your Heart by Yasmin Mohaged

Summary:

Many of us live our lives entrapped by the same repeated patterns of heartbreak and disappointment. Often, we have no idea why this happens.  Reclaim Your Heart is about freeing the heart from this slavery.  It is about the journey in and out of life’s most deceptive traps.

This book was written to awaken the heart and provide a new perspective on love, loss, happiness, and pain.  A manual of sorts, Reclaim Your Heart will teach readers how to live in this life without allowing life to own you.  It is a manual of how to protect your most prized possession- the heart.

For myself I find that this book is so good for example why things happen. How to let go and cope with losses. Why is there pain when you are heartbroken and etc. It really open my eyes. The message is so deep. No wonder it is one of the best seller. For those who's interested in these book, you may buy it from from Wardah Bookstore at Arab St for $28, if it is out of store you can request from the seller to order one and they will call you once they restock the book.

A Gift For Muslim Bride

Summary:

This is an ideal gift to Muslim brides, as mainly deals with the concerned affairs of newly married life e.g., How To live amicably with in-laws avoiding all domestic disputes and How to harmonise with husband's sentiments and preferences, to capture his heart and inclusive attention etc.

The book also contains stories of some exemplary women, Imam Al- Ghazzali's advices and other precious parting advices as a light of guidance. By practicing them a home can become a garden of Jannah. This is complete English translation of Tohfa-e-Doulhan by Muhammad Haneef Abdul Majeed, translated from Urdu by Mufti Afzal Hoosen Elias (South Africa).

This book should be read in sequence cover to cover and pass the advices on to other Muslim sisters. 

I have not started reading on this but I've see reviews that it is a great book to read. We can actually read and apply it when we become someones wife. We may not be following all but at least we can set is as an example. I got it from Instagram : PRETTYBAMSHOP for $38.50 registered mail.

So that is basically it. Ouh yeah last Saturday I attended Financial Aid Kit Seminar from Mendaki Sense. I will update on the course, for the next post. InShaaAllah. 

Oklah Got to go. Till next! :)

I am back!

Hello everybody,

I am back from my trip. So how was my bandung trip? It was fun great shopping experience! I shouldn't have shop much but what can I do all barang2 cheap2 and they having sales. So I told myself its okay fr me to splurge a little of my money and within this 7 mths I should not shop!

What I can say the view of the popular tangkuban perahu and kawah putih was beautiful! It was cold although the sun is shining bright.

Tangkuban Perahu dah mcm kat New Zealand

Strawberry Farm. Got to pluck it fresh and eat it.

Kawah Putih - Dah macam Phi Phi Island Thailand clear waters

I already bought my bridesmaid kain, mummies, bro's and father too. My theme colour gonna be purple!
For my bridesmaids and mummy kain I bought Prada lace and satin for lining. According from my aunty the Prada lace was expensive and kain Satin too but I bought the better quality kain for them coz they are gonna be bz and running here and there so I thot it is better to buy them a cooling and expensive kain. Besides I'm gonna have only 2 bridesmaid why not splurge abit more for them.

We also make tailormade for my younger bro and father baju kurung. Cooling cotton and it is cheap roughly abt $55. And the jahitan was nice! Terletak at my bro and father badan.

For my baju dulang I got blue lace with gold kain satin roughly abt $85 and we also got telekung silk mixure with cotton. As far as I know we muslim cant wear a full silk telekung for praying.

So yeah partially of my preparation done am Im glad! Well I got to go now! Bye2!

Another one thing, I have been stalking my very own mak andam and YaAllah how, I cant wait for them to doll me up. So Arabian and Bollywood style lah. Since I ada keturunan India, I admire her make up lots as muka org yg they make up kan lain. I have been following the well known bridals too but I cant seem to like their makeup coz it doesnt make a different to the person face and the package they provide I can only choose form the rack and not exclusive! Ok now Let the picture do the talking.
