Engagement Video (13 March 2010) | Part 3

 This will be the last part. The rest, biar dlm simpanan lappy saje. 

• Mula2 skali, itu adik Ayu, Ain. She's the youngest =)
• 0.11 - Itu arwah tok 5rz. X sempat kenal rapat dgn arwah 
• 0.27 - Mak 5rz kenalkan Ayu kepada adik beradik mak 5rz dan sedara mara 5rz. Ada yg Ayu byk kali jmpa and ada yg first time jmpa. Yg mana Ayu kenal, Ayu ckp 'ha ni Ayu kenal!' Kuat2 plak tu. X tau malu :p
• 1.19 : Sibuk plak si Ain ni!

That's it for my engagement video. Thanks for watching. =)

Engagement Video (13 March 2010) | Part 2

Patut start with wedding review but engagement video x habis2 lg di upload. Sabar jela. Percaya atau tidak, among engagement, nikah and reception, make up time tunang paling cantik! Or maybe because I wore pink? I always look good in pink. Ehem! Sorry I syok sendiri. Even 5rz sendiri suka tgk Ayu in pink. :) 

Suara Ayu mmg kelakar and 5rz plak malu2. We both pun malu gle actually. Ok, let's cut the crap!

• 0.19 - Lina was one of my MOH for my wedding. I choose her simply because of she's my nyah! And just look at her. Tanpa disuruh pun dia dtg sendiri betulkan keadaan shawl I. Time tu shawl Ayu diikat x brape kemas. Ni sbb last min x try ikat awal2. 
• 0.58 - Ayu dekatkan diri ke 5rz since 5rz pun malu2 nk duk dekat.
• 1.05 - Ayu yg start berlakon dulu utk captured that candid moment. Ayu just suruh 5rz pndg Ayu and Ayu pndg dia. 
• 1.15 - Time ni conversation kami was about my make-up. Ayu tanya 5rz. Make up Ayu cantik x? You can see 5rz angguk smbl kate cantik. Wee~~~ ^_^
• 1.20 - Ayu gelak sbb dh x tau nk tanya ape lg kt 5rz. Yg si 5rz ni plak mmg x de tanya pape kt Ayu. Conversation ntah ape2.
• 1.40 - Yes. Everybody was saying that 5rz kaku. Mmg sgt ketara sgt. 
• 1.49 - I know. I over and gedik!
• 2.04 - Still looking for tissue. Part 1 hr tu pun dok cr tisu sbb x prepare awal2. Seriously, spot light kuning mmg panas but gives you effect yg cantik.
• 2.14 - 5rz started to leave. Dia mmg x suka bergambar. X leh geng ngan Ayu yg cam whore ini. :(
• 2.50 - Tgk. Ayu dilayan bagai puteri. Me loike! Ada Niza ada Lina. Semua nk kasi idea. =)
• 2.59 - Lihat teknik Ayu cover perut buncit Ayu supaya x nmpk dlm gmbr. Hehe :p

 That's all.

Engagement Video (13 March 2010) | Part 1

Dh lama nk post video ni tp asyik delay je. This video was taken by my brother, Adib. 

Dlm video ni explain a lot of things.

• 0.03 - Yg pggl Adib tu adalah abg Ayu yg sulung.

Then, Ayu turun dgn mak teh. Masa dkt atas, Ayu suruh mak teh ajar cara Ayu duduk. A day before mmg dh praktis tp Ayu lupa nk praktis duduk dgn baju tu. Lps turun, mak teh suruh Niza yg tmnkan Ayu ke pelamin tp Ayu refuse and Ayu nk mak teh jgk. (No offense babe. Tp sbb kt atas, I dh praktis ngan mak teh. At least mak teh tau ape yg I risaukan)

• 0.22 - Ayu sempat lg ckp 'cam nila' dgn nada agak kuat. Ok malu!
• 0.31 - Abaikan shawl Ayu bahagian belakang tu. Last min main pusing2 je. (Actually before that Ayu tercari cari di mana 5rz. X jmpa. Rupanya duk depan pintu)
• 0.54 - Mak teh tanya ok ke x duduk tu? Ayu ckp je ok sbb mula2 ok je. Tp lahai! Kain ketat (ok salahkan kain x salahkan badan!) Sbb kain ketat Ayu duduk x selesa (You can see)

Pastu boleh plak ayah wat lawak dgn ckp

"Ha nilah anak saya Nor Ayuni. 5rz. Betul x ni?"

Ayu pun x sangka ayah boleh tanya mcm tu. Hadoi! (Pastu kedengaran suara adik pompuan Ayu dlm rakaman tu)

• 1.04 - Oh itu dia si 5rz! Amboi senyum malu2! Mcm sengih pun ada. Haha :D
• 2.53 - Ayu mintak tisu dr Niza. Muka Ayu berminyak time tu sbb spot light. Insya-Allah time nikah nnti Ayu nk sediakan tisu dlm tgn or at least sape2 yg duk sebelah Ayu kena pegang tisu. Tp rasanya nikah Ayu nnti x de spot light. Mini pelamin pun x de sbb ayah kate duduk je x yah ada pape. But tisu nk kena ada gak la. Learn from the mistake.
• 3.26 - Adib zoom muka Ayu and dr situ dh nmpk dh betapa berminyaknye muka den. Masa ni Ayu penat sgt duk bersimpuh. Sbb kain ketat (salahkan kain lg) Pastu kena baca doa plak. Mana nk tahan badan ni. Terpaksalah jgk. Dlm hati Ayu cepatlah abis doa. 
• 3.45 - Selesai je doa terus tahan badan dgn tangan. Fuh lega :D

Oh ye lupa nk mention. That's my daddy yg tgh berucap tu.

• 4.25 - Niza masih cuba mencari tisu utk Ayu. Serius x selesa. Duduk mcm tu. Ngan kain ketat lg. Muka plak berminyak x tahan kena spot light. Tp bila tgk blk video ni, teringat dulu2. Heh?

Ok itu saje. =)

Engagement Pics!

As promise, Ayu nk update my E-Day pics. Start with the hantaran from me to him ya.

Sireh junjung. Kakak ipar + me + my mum + nenek & ramai lg buat sama2

Coklat ni semua Ayu kirim dr officemate Ayu yg kebetulan tgh holiday kt Langkawi.

Lupa nk snap pic utk isi kek kt dlm.

Sejadah ni jd isu kenapa Ayu beli warna biru cam ni. Huhu sbb kain velvet dia sgt lembut and hanya tggl colour ni je. Ayu nk jgk.

Buah pun ikt tema. Pink and purple so beli strawberry and grape.

Lg 2 hantaran was jam tangan and tuala mandi. Tgk bekas jam tangan tu. Kosong kn? Tu la terlupa nk letak. Nasib baik Niza igtkn.

So hantaran kami 5 berbalas 7. Hantaran yg 5rz kasi x de la plak gmbr full cuma ada gmbr mcm kt bwh ni je.

Ok next kte tgk pelamin RM 70 yg Ayu pilih.

Pelamin tu x termasuk langsir yg jd backdrop tula. Itu mmg langsir umah. Simple je.

Dan seterusnya, mari kte layan gmbr2 yg lain plak.

Kwn Ayu sebelah ni nama dia Sheila. Kami kawan rapat sejak form 2 lg. Sheila bertunang ke esok kn harinya (140310). Walaupun Ayu tunang dulu tp insya-Allah Sheila bakal mengakhiri zaman bujang dia dulu. Thanks  Sheila sbb sggp terkejar kejar dtg umah Ayu walaupun dia tgh sibuk ngan preparation utk majlis tunang dia jgk.

Niza ni pun Ayu kenal time form 2 jgk. Satu class ngan Sheila. 

Ni Lina a.k.a my ex-roomate. Kenal time diploma dulu smpi la sama2 smbg degree. Dia slalu ada time Ayu susah & byk sgt kenangan pahit manis kami bersama. Blakg tu mak teh Ayu. Badan & muka still maintain walaupun dh anak 4 siap ada kembar lg.

Time ni Sheila dh blk sbb dia pun ada urusan. Oh Lina & Nizz ni sgt la memahami ke cerewetan, kegedikkan & kebluran Ayu.

Suka gmbr ni. Rasa mcm kt kmpg sbb ada pokok kelapa.

Abg kedua saya bersama kakak ipar & nephew.

Ini mak chu saya yg comei lote! Tgk saiz badan dia. Envynya... Klu korg perasan, muka mak chu Ayu ada terpampang sepanjang jln ke Bangsar. Dekat2 ngan LRT Bangsar kt Maybank tu. Ecece... Famous mak chu ku.....

My everything! Ayu ikt muka sape? Ayah ke mak?

Time rombongan lelaki dh smpi.

And last but not least me and my fiance.

E-Day Tips

Just to share some tips about my E-Day. For those who will getting engage, I hope you not making any mistakes that I make.

1. Plan carefully with you partner on how do you want your E-Day would be. I’m having a fight with my fiancé as I want him to wear baju melayu on my E-Day but he refuse. I also tried to make him wear kemeja with the same colour that I’m wearing which is pink belacan or merah bata or whatever you called it now. Ya last2 he wins. He choose to wear black. Same colour with his hantaran yg dia kasi utk Ayu. Ya whatever…………
2. As for me, I like to make it simple but nice ceremony. So that’s why we just serve the rombongan with a simple dish. No need to make like ‘we getting married’ dishes. After all it just an engagement ceremony.
3. Double check if all of your hantaran(s) where in its tray. Hey I did forget to put 1 hantaran dlm dulang! Luckily my friend notice and she notice it right before pihak lelaki masuk umah. Nasib baik sempat. Hantaran jam. Ayu simpan dlm blk coz takut anything happened that night. Mana la tau takut umah msk pencuri ke coz all hantaran(s) mmg dh kemas siap2 letak kt hall. So until that day x igt2 nk letak dlm tray.
4. Please wear your korset. It helps you to shape your body well. 
5. Polish your nails.
6. Wear lenses and fake eyelashes. This helps to create an effect to make your eyes look bigger.
7. Bring some tissue with you. I think this is the biggest regret! With all the nervousness that you have in your body of course you will be all peluh2. Plus all the eyes will be looking at you. Haha wait until you get into your pelamin. Oh I tell you the spot light was so damn hot! Even though you switch on both air corns in your living room, making the temperature to high and cool, the spot light tu still panas. Ayu x selesa sgt atas pelamin tu. My friend yg kt sebelah pun lupa nk letak tisu dlm tgn. Berpeluh and berminyak la muka den. So bare in mind ya this one.

Well I guess that’s all that I can think about it now. Some of it mmg Ayu ada wat silap la and some of it, it just a simple reminder. Insya-Allah I will try to avoid it during my nikah day.

Gmbr bwh ni utk blog Ayu yg satu lg but saje2 je nk share kt sini.

ps:// Next entry, I promise to upload my E-Day pics!

My E-Day Budget

Yes2 I know I promise to upload my E-Day pics on my previous entry. (Ok ni statement budget famous!) But chop chop chop. Ayu nk update psl budget utk E-Day Ayu dulu okies? First, let me list down my entire sponsor list and also I would like to say THANKS A BUNCH!

1. Mak & Ayah - Klu duit yg Ayu kasi utk wat kenduri terkurang and mak ayah halal kn. Terima kasih byk2.
2. Along & Kak Sarah - Sponsor tepak sireh, tapai and tolong masak2.
3. Azim (second brother & Kak Fareeza) - Sponsor roti jala, fresh flowers for tepak sireh and hand bouquet, tempat letak jam utk hantaran and tolong masak2.
4. Mak teh - Sponsor mini pelamin walaupun murah tp pelamin tu la pilihan Ayu.
5. Mak chu - Sponsor baju
6. Wanie - Sponsor shawl and make up. She’s using Channel make up.
7. Kak Ita - Sponsor dulang hantaran

For those yg Ayu lupa nk senaraikn dlm list ni, sorry sgt2 klu Ayu terlupa and utk yg Ayu terlupa nk list ape2 yg org2 di atas ni sponsor, maaf jgk dr Ayu.

Secondly, I will list down my budget for my E-Day (ni x termasuk yg org2 kt atas ni dh sponsor)

1. Base alas dulang warna cream - RM 25++ (after discount) Ayu ambik 9 helai. 2 extra utk letak dlm bakul buah and tempat letak jam.
2. Alas dulang warna shinning white - RM 70. Ayu ambil 7 helai.
3. Bunga hiasan. Ayu wat warna pink purple so Ayu ambik dua bunga yg berlainan. Utk bunga purple - RM 40++ (4 bungkus. Itu pun still ada lebih)
4. Bunga pink - RM 30 (2 bungkus. Still ada lebih)
5. Reben. Ayu ambik dua colours jgk. Cream and pink. Utk cream - RM 12++ (Ayu ambik 2 rolls. X abis guna pun)
6. Reben warna pink - RM 7.00 (Ambik 2 rolls and still ada lebih)
7. Korset - RM 60++ (First time pki korset ni. Beli yg murah sudah la)
8. Veil - RM 100++ (Jakel)
9. Barang hantaran - RM 800++ (Kira all in la ni eh. Ha x smpi RM 1 k pun. Good2. Ni sbb Ayu dh budget 1 dulang RM 100 je tp ada je 1 dulang yg lebih RM 100. Contohnye utk hantaran jam. Tp duit jam yg lebih tu boleh cover ngan dulang lain yg less than RM 100. Contoh cam dulang sejadah, buah, kek etc.)
10. Khemah - RM 250 (Normal tent plus scallop with my choice of colours)
11. Mkn & minuman. Kteotg wat minum ptg so x mkn byk pun. Masak pun sedara mara yg tolong. Roughly dlm RM 300. (Ini utk 100 org mkn klu x silap. X yah la beria ajak ramai2. Tunang je pun. Klu yg budget besar x pelah. Masing2 punya rezeki.)
12. Other things like fake eyelash, gam uhu, jarum peniti etc - RM 75++

So total = RM 1.8k++ ~ 2K la senang eh? Ni from my side jela. From his side lebih ckit sbb 5rz kasi cincin lg. So senang cite utk tunang ni x payah la nk wat grand2 sgt. Utk budget cam Ayu, Ayu puas hati ngan E-Day Ayu. Tp klu org lain yg ada budget besar ape salahnya nk wat grand2. Sendiri punya duit maa~~

On My E-Day Itself | Part 2

Rombongan smpi dlm pkl 1545 la klu x silap. Ayu kt atas ngan kwn2 Ayu duk pk cara nk duduk atas pelamin. B4 that ada try just x sempat nk try with the baju itself. Well baju Ayu agak ketat. Correction! Not my baju ok. My makchu’s and yes I’m fatter than my mak chu yg dh ada 3 org ank. Huhu. Ayu nervous la sbb x tau mcm mane nk duduk atas pelamin ngan kain ketat cam tu. Tiba2 nk ke toilet plak. B4 g toilet tu sempat la smbg borak2 utk hilangkn nervous. (Padahal x hilang pun nervous tu). Then bila Ayu nk otw g toilet, tiba2 kwn Ayu, Niza yg ada kt bwh pggl. Dia ckp suruh turun skrg. Diaorg semua dh abis bncg. Huh? Cepat gle Ayu rasa. Ayu yg nk g toilet ni x kn nk suruh rombongan tggu ckp Ayu kt toilet plak kn? So turun jela walaupun x jd nk g toilet. Huhu. Langkah demi langkah nk turun tangga. Dup dap dup dap!

Ni otw Ayu nk turun utk sarung cincin. Huhu tgk la mulut den x abis2 nk membebel. Ayu pun x tau ape yg Ayu bebel time ni. 

Oh I feel like a celeb la where flash of the camera is everywhere and I’m pretty sure semua mata tgk kt Ayu (ceh perasan cantik! Well Wanie, ur make-up mmg cantik ok. Ayu x tipu. You make me different that day. Thanks) Smpi je kt pelamin, Allah x selesanya Ayu duduk ats bantal tu. Badan Ayu rasa cam nk terjatuh duk atas bantal pelamin tu. Pastu terpaksa la tahan supaya x jatuh. Utk tahan badan supaya x jatuh tu, Ayu rasa lengguh2 sgt kaki and pinggang. Nk x nk kena tahan la jgk. Klu x malu den malu! Then bila Ayu dh kt pelamin tiba2 ayah Ayu ckp mcm ni : 

“Ha nila anak perempuan saya. Nor Ayuni. Betul x Fairuz nk yg ni?” sambil ayah mencari-cari 5rz duduk dekat mane. Time tu Ayu dh segan gle okies? But still tercari-cari mane 5rz duduk. Rupa-rupanya dia duk kt celah2 pintu masuk. Then bila ayah dh jmpa kedudukan 5rz, 5rz pun angguk kn kepala smbl senyum2 simpul gitu. Hahaha. Oh time tu br la Ayu jmpa di mana buah hati saya sedang duduk. Huhu. (Ok time ni perasaan marah dh hilang sbb rasa sayang sgt kt dia. Remember previous entry where we fight for our last time b4 we got engage)

Tgk betapa x selesanya Ayu atas pelamin tu. Tp nk x nk kena la cover gak.

After that, sesi sarung cincin pun dimulakan. Ayu x pasti utk tunang kena kasi tangan mana but I guess better kasi tangan kanan coz nk kasi tangan ke bakal mak mentua kn. X kn nk kasi tgn kiri plak. Alhamdulillah. Ayu selamat bergelar tunangan 5rz tepat 4.04 pm. Oh oh ada bukti ok.

Itulah bakal mak mertua Ayu.
 

Then after that x de pape sgt. Sesi salam bersalaman ngan family 5rz. Sesi snap2 gmbr. Last skali sesi mkn. Ayu mkn last skali ok. Tggu semua tetamu dh blk br mkn. Hmm yela sbb takut nmpk bj ketat nnti x lawa. Hahaha. Orait I guess dh abis la kot cite my E-Day ni. More pics coming up!

On My E-Day Itself | Part 1

The night b4 my E-Day, everybody mmg bz. Ptg tu dh siap pasang mini pelamin. Ayu jd ambik mini pelamin dr kakak yg Ayu pnah cite dulu. Pelamin simple je. RM 70 punya mini pelamin. Mlm tu Ayu, nenek, mak and kakak ipar sibuk wat sireh junjung. Sireh junjung yg Ayu akn kasi kt 5rz lain ckit. Dia saiz comel je.

Fresh flowers plak Ayu x beli2 lg. Esk pg2 kakak ipar dh volunteer nk pg beli dekat Petaling Street. So mlm tu semua hantaran dh siap digubah kecuali kek, coklat and sireh junjung. Kek ngan coklat sbb takut cair so nk x nk kena tggu tgh hr esk br boleh gubah. N sireh junjung plak tggu nk cucuk fresh flowers je tgh hr esk. Buah2an plak tggu nk letak je dlm bakul. Dh siap lap2 buah ngan minyak zaiton semua. Bakul buah kakak ipar dh siap balut lawa2 mlm tu.

On 130310 morning, I woke up like usual. After prayer igt nk smbg tdo (boleh lg pk nk tdo tu!) Baring2 rilex2 jap. Then turun bwh tgk kt dapur. Huhu tp x mkn pape pun sbb takut nnti nk pki bj x muat. Hahaha. Mcm biasa persiapan terakhir tlg2 family ape yg patut. Ptg dlm pkl 1 nk dekat kul 2 mostly mmg brg hantaran semua dh siap. Oh lps tu boleh plak bergaduh ngan 5rz for the last time b4 getting engage eh? Tp mmg silap Ayu sgt2 la. Actually dulu Ayu ckp bertunang nk wat lps Asar. But family Ayu tukar time ke lps Zohor. Bkn tukar last min cuma Ayu ni yg x igt2 nk inform kt 5rz. Sudahnya 5rz marah2 la. Yela sbb 5rz pun dh janji ngan family and sedara mara 5rz. So mmg la x elok kn. Ayu pun x tau mcm mane Ayu boleh lupa. *sigh* Nk tukar time ke lps Asar, family Ayu rasa lmbt plak sbb mlm nnti mak and ayah ada wat gathering South African (Dulu kteorg pnah bermastautin di sana selama 3 thn setengah) Well pergaduhan antara Ayu ngan 5rz mmg Ayu aggp besar la gak. Paling sedih Ayu la. Ayu salah ngan 5rz and ngan mak ayah Ayu. Tp Ayu lupa sgt2. Smpi air mata Ayu mengalir depan mak ayah Ayu. Kakak ipar Ayu naik bilik pujuk2 Ayu. Mak pun siap ckp lagi

“Suka hatila Ayu. Kau yg nk tunang. Klu x nk ckp x nk”

Huwaaaa mak ckp mcm tu sbb Ayu dh sakit hati sgt ngan 5rz. Ayu tau mmg salah Ayu tp masalahnya 5rz x nk try lnsg bncg ngan family dia sama ada boleh tukar time ke x. Tu la yg Ayu kesal sgt. *sob*sob*

Hmmm last2 5rz call ckp dia akan try dtg lps Zohor tp paling awal pun kul 1530 rombongan akan smpi. Bila dh discuss ngan family Ayu, diaorg pun kate ok. So Alhamdulillah… Tp kn dlm hati Ayu smpi ada pasang niat x nk jmpa lnsg dia time mkn2 nnti. Ayu kecik hati ngan 5rz! Huh!

Then Ayu siap2 mandi kul 1. Tggu bakal kakak ipar my friend (Lina) dtg utk make-up kn Ayu. Smbl tggu dia dtg, Ayu buat la ape yg patut. Pki lens (actually Ayu x nk pki lens sbb Ayu x nk nmpk semua org. Lg wat Ayu nervous. Even time blaja dulu everytime Ayu ada presentation, Ayu x kn pki cermin mata. Less nervous sbb Ayu x nmpk mata audience pndg mana. Hehehe. Tp on my E-Day, nk cantik punya psl, pki la jgk. Huhu) Bila Lina dh smpi, kwn2 Ayu yg lain pun smpi satu persatu. Actually ada je Ayu ajk kwn2 skolah la mostly tp ramai yg x dpt dtg. Tgglnya, brape ketul jela yg dtg. So abis make up semua, pki baju, selendang, veil bagai dlm pkl 1530 kot. Then ada msg kt hp Ayu. 5rz msg kate rombongan laki dh otw. Oh tiba2 dup dap dup dap ye hati ini. X pnah rasa mcm ni kn. Nervous gle ok.

Engagement Preparations Part 4 (Final one)

Ok so on 7 March 2010, we went out for the last time b4 we both getting engage. But we not out for dating2 ke ape. I mean part of it mmg dating la skali coz dpt spent time ngan 5rz kn? Ok so the night b4 that day, I listed down the things that I haven’t prepared yet. So pk punya pk, I guess better g KLCC cr brg2 hantaran especially from me to him la. So KLCC destinasi kami. 5rz ckp cincin pun x settle2 lg x kn nk cr brg dia kn? Well from me, actually guna cincin risik pun ok je. I mean cincin risik kasi blk b4 the E-day and nnti kira cincin risik tu jugala jd cincin tunang. At first 5rz ok. My family pun ok je but last2 5rz ni kate x sedap plak nk guna cincin yg sama. Duh…………..

Then smpi je KLCC mmg settle kn brg hantaran 5rz dulu. Mostly x de ape pun just cr jam tangan utk 5rz. So dia jmpa 1 jam ni and dia kenan even Ayu pun sgt kenan ngan jam tu. Unik pun unik sbb jam see through. And that watch x guna battery just guna nadi kte je. Wah sggh unik! I loike!

Then dh sdh beli jam, g Habib cr cincin. Oh kteorg jmpa satu kakak ni sgt la best ok. I recommend kt b2b (bride-to-be) di luar sana klu nk g cr cincin, g la Habib KLCC. Kakak yg Ayu jmpa mmg best gle. She gave us an opinion yg mcm best and nmpk dia sgt berpengalaman. Mula2 Ayu tgk kakak ni mesti dh keja lama kt situ. Yela idea2 dia ngan opinion dia semua msk akal. Tp last2 Ayu ada nmpk name tag dia tulis ‘trainer’. Mcm x caya je tau kakak tu trainer. Oh and Ayu dilayan seperti puteri di sana. Ape je yg Ayu nk tgk semua kakak tu keluarkn. Bila Ayu argue cincin ni x lawa la ape la dia pndi bodek2 Ayu blk. Ayu mmg recommend la jmpa ngan kakak tu nnti tau! Utk b2b yg nk tau sape nama kakak tu boleh e-mail Ayu okies? (bnsayang@gmail.com) Tak payahlah email sebab I dh lupa nama dia. Ini 2023 time I edit semula blog ni.

We spent almost 1 hour kt dlm Habib tu. Yela sbb perangai Ayu yg mcm2. Nk pki cincin ni la. Then nk try tgk kt cermin la. Pastu tukar plak cincin lain. G tgk kt cermin besar plak. Nasib baik la kakak Habib and 5rz sabar je. At last I narrowed down to 2 rings. I really want the one yg Ayu jmpa dulu. Habib jgk tp kt Habib branch lain la. But the thing is, 5rz x kenan sgt. Even bila Ayu tanya kakak Habib tu pun dia prefer the other one yg 5rz suka. Huhu berkomplot plak kakak Habib ngan 5rz ye. So last2. Pk punya pk. Ayu ambik the one yg 5rz kenan. Yela bila pk blk, 5rz yg nk tgk Ayu pki cincin tu. So biarla ambik something yg dia suka tgk. (walaupun dlm hati masih menaruh harapan nk yg satu lg. Harga lebih kurang sama je pun) And then sebelum blk kakak Habib tu tanya.

Kakak Habib : “When is the big day?”
Ayu : “Next Saturday”

Then kakak tu kasi nasihat kt Ayu and 5rz yg sgt mengharukn Ayu. X de ape pun just Ayu rasa terharu jela. Kakak tu kata :

Kakak Habib to 5rz : “You, plz take a good care of her ya?”
5rz angguk kepala smbl senyum
Kakak Habib to Ayu : “And you plz cook for him ya?”
Ayu pun senyum2 jela.

Actually bila Ayu dpt resit cincin tu Ayu tgk nama kakak tu. Ya Allah org cina rupanya. Dr muka dia seriously, x nmpk cina pun. Even Ayu mati2 igt dia Malay. Huhu rupanya cina. Anyway kakak Habib, thank you so much for everything ya.

Then habis je beli cincin, kteorg g JJ Alpha Angle nk tempah kek. Korg nnti tempah kek biar yg dekat2 ckit ngan umah tau. Sbb nnti senang. And otw nk ke sana, dlm keta tu ape lg. Ayu x sabarlah nk sarungkn cincin yg br dibeli. Oh bila Ayu pki je, I fall in love with the ring. Serius cantik! Napela dlm kedai td x rasa sgt pun. Anyway, I’m glad I choose the one yg 5rz suka and x menyesal pun sbb tiba2 nmpk cantik plak.

Ok2. So bila kt Alpha Angle, we went to secret recipe and order kek. After settle semua kteorg blk. And bila dh smpi umah Ayu, Ayu nk cincin tu nk tunjuk kt mak and kakak ipar tp 5rz x kasi plak. Dia kate sabar la tggu next week biar kasi surprise. Huhu… Ape2 jela 5rz….. Then bila msk umah, mak tanya mane cincin mak nk tgk. Ayu pun jwb la yg 5rz x kasi tgk sbb dia nk wat surprise. Huhu…………………..

Engagement Preparations Part 3

Ok the stories continue……….

Weekend on 28 Feb, klua utk cr cincin tunang plak. Oh time tu boleh plak gaduh eh ngan 5rz. Sbb ape gaduh? X yah la cite kt sini. Sad love story plak nnti. Ok destinasi yg kami pg ialah Habib kt JJ Alpha Angle. Ok seriously, Ayu minat satu cincin ni tp 5rz x minat. Dia sibuk nk belikn Ayu cincin emas putih utk tunang. Huwaaaa Ayu x mo emas putih. Ayu nk emas kuning gak. Lama gak la dlm habib hr tu. Dr Alpha Angle ke hq Habib plak tp x de la plak cincin yg Ayu kenan. Yg si 5rz sibuk tul nk belikn cincin emas putih utk Ayu. At last, disebabkn Ayu meronta-ronta x nk emas putih, kami pun pulang and still dengan tangan kosong. Huhu mmg slalu bazir masa cam tu je.

Ok disebabkn tggl 1 week je b4 my engagement day, nk x nk Ayu kena siapkn jgk ape2 brg yg x siap2 lg. On 5rz’s side mmg dh siap. I mean dia x de pape pun nk siapkn just cincin jela x dpt lg. Brg2 hantaran dia ramai dh di sponsor oleh aunty2, company and client dia. So one fine day after work, Ayu janji ngan Niza suruh tmn g cr veil kt Masjid Jamek. Selendang tunang pun x de sibuk nk cr veil. Hahaha. Mula2 kteorg g kt Euro Moda utk cr selendang dulu. Selendang yg Ayu kenan mmg ada kt Euro Moda. Harga RM 110. Tp x secantik yg Ayu ada. (Ayu pnah beli 1 selendang beaded kt Masjid Jamek dulu. Saje2 beli sbb shawl tu cantik. Tp Ayu beli 1 sbb last one and sbb last one tggl 1 colour jela. Colour hijau. Huhu sedangkn Ayu dh confirm nk pki bj colour pink belacan) So, shawl yg Ayu beli tu x secantik kt Euro Moda, compare to the price. So Ayu rasa cam bazirnye……

X pe x pe. Next, we went to Jakel utk tgk veil. Smpi2 je jmpa ngan satu akak ni. Terus tanya nk tgk veil colour pink belacan. Akak tu pun cr la. Cr punya cari jmpa and Ayu terus sarungkn ke kepala. (Huhu first time ni sarung veil kt kepala. Suka2!!)

Then tanya harga berapa. Dr RM 150 kakak tu kasi RM 100 je kt Ayu. Klu tolak ke mak andam pun dpt RM 120 je. Haaaa korg kena pndi tawar menawar and bodek2 la byk2 k? (@_@) Tp kn walaupun dh dpt harga yg best, Ayu still berkira-kira lg. Yela after that nnti nk watpe ngan veil tu? Klu nk simpan utk akad nikah, x kn akad nikah nk pki warna pink belacan kn? Pki sanding? 5rz x mau pki pink belacan. Klu dia nk pun, Ayu rasa cam x nk pki warna pink belacan. Yela tunang dh pki x kn sanding pun pki colour yg sama. Cam boring plak.

Muka penat br blk keja. Tembam dan bulat!

Last2 x ambik pun veil tu. Ntah pape kn Ayu ni? Slalu jln sana sini nk cr brg tp x beli2. Then g tgk brg hantaran utk 5rz. Cr sejadah and minat gle ngan satu sejadah ni. Harga pun ok. Cuma colour la agak x best. Tp sejadah tu lembut sgt velvet dia. Suka kt sejadah tu but still I didn’t care to bought it. Hahaha last2 mmg kami blk ngan tangan kosong. Huhu ntah la Ayu ni cerewet. Tu yg payah tu.

ps:// Jgn la jd seperti Ayu yg slalu bazir2 masa g sana sini but at the end of the day, end up with buying nothing! Sggh membazir masa. Duit dan tenaga.

Engagement Preparations Part 2

Huh it's been a while since my last update kn? Been busy la. FYI, Ayu ada 2 blog yg harus Ayu maintain sorg2 ok. My first blog would be my on9 bussines. For those yg x tau bussiness ape yg Ayu wat, boleh singgah kt sini

So of course, to maintain 2 blogs at the same time is not easy dear and my priority kenalah ke bussines dulu. That's the main reason yg Ayu susah nk update personal blog ni. Sorry ye (Budget cam ada je org nk baca blog ni heh :p)

Ok enough about that. Let's move on to the topic shall we? Last entry Ayu ada ckp psl nk g tgk butik pelamin kn? So kebetulan on 26th Feb 2010 public holiday. Ayu ambik inisiatif klua cr brg2 tunang on that day walaupun penat keja x abis lg. Huh! Yela klu x, smpi bila x siap2 kn? My planning for that day utk tgk bj and g butik tgk contoh2 pelamin. So pg around 11am Ayu dh siap nk g Semenyih ngan my dear friend Niza. Oh 5rz x de on that day sbb 5rz kena keja hr Sabtu. So what a waste la kn klu dia blk sehari je. Huhu.... Smpi je Semenyih kami disambut oleh bibik mak chu. Hehe. Ayu pnjm bj mak chu je sbb masa dh x smpt nk tempah2 bagai. Mesti semua tertanya-tanya kenapa pnjm bj mak chu? Mak chu Ayu muda ke? Sama saiz ke? Hahaha. FYI, mak chu Ayu dh kawin ada 3 anak lg. Tp yg envy nye, badan mak chu ttp la slim u alls. Hr tu mak chu x de kt umah tp mak chu mmg dh siapkn semua koleksi bj yg dia nk suruh Ayu try. There was like 8 bj kot if I'm not mistaken tp mata Ayu ni dh tgk first bj warna pink belacan n dlm hati Ayu kate "Hmm warna pink tp pink x cantik la plak" Serius dlm hati ckp rasa x kn pilih bj tu. Huhu last2.............. Semua dh tau kn? Tgk pic Ayu kt ats 2 sure korg dh leh agak. :)

Ok2, lps try all the bj, Ayu kenan ngan 2 bj je. I mean yg kena ngan Ayu la. Actually first time Ayu pki bj pink belacan 2 mmg dh fall in love tp Niza plak suruh Ayu pki bj yg warna hijau tu. Susah nk wat pilihan. Tanya bibik, bibik ckp mana2 pun boleh. Last2 Ayu call mak chu n tanya boleh x nk bwk blk dua2 bj sbb x tau nk pilih yg mana. (Actually dh tau tp nk tanya pendapat 5rz n mak. Hehe)

Lps je minum n lepak2 jap umah mak chu, we went to butik kt mane eh? Lupa la. Niza yg tnjk jln. Butik ni pun Ayu tau dr adik 5rz, Noi. Cr punya cr, jmpa. Butik ni simple je. G butik sbb nk tgk mini pelamin je. Tp ter-tgk la skali koleksi bj yg dia ada skali ngan package make up. Ayu actually nk mini pelamin yg ala2 klasik gitu. Minat ngan satu pelamin ni tp akak tu kate better Ayu wat yg ada stage. Oh maksud klasik di sini, cam x de pape. Just alas bantal je. No stage, no spot light. Biasa2 aja. Mcm dlm gmbr bwh ni

Last2 x de kate putus pun yg Ayu kasi kt owner butik tu. I said that I'll contact her if anything. But rasa cam nk ambik package dia. Below are the details of her package :

1. Mini pelamin (Whatever colours that you want) - Ada stage, mini tangga, bantal duduk (saiz lebar), langsir backdrop, 2 spot light and akak tu tolong pasangkn semua. Total would be RM 250 + RM 30 for petrol. Kakak tu boleh kasi 2 FOC flowers utk letak kiri kanan stage.
2. Mini pelamin (Whatever colours that you want) - Ada stage, mini tangga, bantal duduk (saiz lebar), 2 spot light and 2 flowers utk letak kiri and kanan, no backdrop (boleh guna langsir or backdrop sendiri) tp kita ambik and kte pasang sendiri then after that, kte kena send blk all the items. Total would be RM 70.
3. Utk make up tunang plak RM 150 termasuk veil, selendang and aksesori kepala and FOC hand flowers.

Lebih kurang cam tu la harga package2 dia. Nk senaraikn semua cam byk je kn. Ni Ayu senaraikn semua yg Ayu actually interested je. So until we meet up for the next entry ya.

Engagement Preparations Part 1

During the risik time, my future mother in law dh ttp kn nk wat majlis tunang on 13th March 2010. (Damn I was hoping to do it on 20th or 27th. 20th because it's my anniversary but unofficial one while 27th is my bday!) So since his mom dh ttp kn my dad pon ckp that hopefully that date never change cause it's like less than a month to prepare. Saya pon tiba2 jd gelabah.

First plan was to do a simple one. I mean like no hantaran were given. Just a sarung cincin ceremony. Then discuss punya discuss, 5rz kate ramai makcik2 dia nk kasi itulah inilah. So acara tukar2 hantaran tu pon terpaksalah diadakn. Luckily for him because all the hantarans was given from his aunty, company and client except the ring.

Since we got less than a month, every week we went out utk cr brg2 preparations. First week after the risik time tu we both went out with his sister. Smpi kt shopping mall br la terkial-kial nk pk hantaran nk kasi ape. Then 5rz dgn selamba ckp, jom la kte g MPH beli pen n small note. Hahah dlm hati Ayu rasa cam kelakar la!

Ok2 selesai menyenarai pendekkn list2 of hantaran, we went to cr mini pelamin plak. Again x de arah tuju. We all like klua jln2 n cr je mana yg jmpa tepi2 jln tu. Rasa sgt blur (yela first time wat2 semua ni) Jln punya jln, jmpa satu kedai tepi jln ni tp time tu hujan sgt lebat. Smpi je depan pintu ada notis kedai ttp. Adeh setelah meredah hujan yg begitu lebat, ttp plak kedai. Ok so everything happend for a reason. So now I'm aware that butik2 pengantin ni akn bukak upon appointment only ye. (Ke semua dh tau? Am I the only one that unaware about this??? Damn!!!) Then suddenly, Noi (5rz's sis) ckp dia ada kenal 1 akak ni yg ada butik pengantin. So ape lg, she called, ask about the mini pelamin, bj, make-up and all. So kira dh settle. Second week Ayu wat appointment g butik dia. Suka2!!! :)

That's all about my early preparation for my E-day. So at the end of the day, we end up with buying nothing just a small pink note and a black pen (Pink note 2 saya yg pilih ye. Haha comel je tgk 5rz bwk buku tu ke mana2.)

Ni la pink note + black pen yg kami beli

Ni plak, 5rz menyenarai kn bil pihak dia yg akn dtg

How, Where And When It All Starts

It was Sunday morning on January..... (I couldn't remember the date but somewhere at the end of the month if I'm not mistaken). On our way to somewhere (again, I couldn't remember), he hold my hand and ask me whether we should buy an engagement ring. (Tadaaaa...) I was like.... what??? The conversations between me and 5rz :-

5rz : Syg.. (While holding my hand, ok x islamic ckit kt sini!!!) Kte g beli cincin tunang nk?
Ayu : Ha??? (Making my shocking face but deep in my heart I was like, weee~~~. Then I remain silent for a while....................................................) Kenapa tiba2?
5rz : Tiba2 ape? Mmg nk tunang pon kn?
Ayu : B dh ckp ngan mak ayah belum?
5rz : Belum.
Ayu : Ckp la dulu then br kte g beli cincin ok?
5rz : Beli jela dulu utk prepare.
Ayu : X payah la. Syg x nk prepare ape2 selagi B x ckp ngan mak n ayah. Nnti syg get too excited to wear the ring tau. So cam x best la kn?
5rz : Senyum then diam je......................

Then after that we all pun menuju ke destinasi which I really can't remember where. Duh!! At home, I'm thinking about what 5rz said earlier. Deep in my heart, seriously Ayu mmg excited nk tunang. Hey who doesn't?

Then two weeks after that, time Subuh2 before he went back to Malaca for work, he told his mom about the 'plan'. (He's too afraid to let his father know first. Hahaha I don't know why) Later during lunch, he called and said "B dh bgtau kt mak and mak ckp nnti dia bncg ngan ayah" (Double wee~~) Oh before I forgot, that time nearly chinese new year.

On the 12th of February 2010, he went back from Malaca. He went off early that day, so he was at my offc to pick me up. Than after that, we had our dinner and guess what??? Terserempak plak ngan kwn lama kteorg, Imran. Imran said that 5rz makin gemuk which is so true. :D I was on duty the very next day (13th February 2010) Duh!! Malas amat dong. Then mcm biasa la, dgn penuh harapan yg mengunung, harap2 5rz dpt ambik Ayu from work. Then he text me :-

"B tau syg nk suruh B ambik syg kn? Sorry la B x boleh la. B ada hal nk kena bwk mak g Rawang nk jmpa pakcik utk discuss psl kte"

Saya tersenyum simpul while reading the msg. Hehehe :)

Around 3 pm, he text me again saying :-

"Mak nk dtg merisik cuti ni (CNY Hols) And mak ckp nk wat majlis tunang bln 3 ni"

I loike it more baby! That was my plan actually to do the ceremony on March! Yeay~~

On that day itself, I went dinner with my family at Nandos, KLCC. Then bermula la debaran to make an annoucement.

Ayu : Ayah ngan mak ada x Isnin ni?

Ayah : Ada nape?

Ayu : Hmm (drum plz........................................................) X de family 5rz nk dtg merisik Isnin ni boleh?

Mak : Nk dtg merisik? (Nada terkejut. I'm more to my mom. Drama queen but I'm worst! Haha) Dh nk tunang ke?

Ayu : Hmm (angguk2 geleng2. eh x. angguk2 je)

Mak : Nk dtg kul brape?

Ayu : Ntah suka hati la mak ayah nk suruh dia dtg kul brape?

Mak : Wat ptg senang la kn? Lps Asar? Betul x?

Ayu : Hmm Ayu pon rasa. Senang. (Padahal malas nk msk lauk bagai. Hi tea senang ckit)

Ayah : Hmm boleh la. Dtg Isnin lps Asar.

Mak : Nk kena wat pape ke?

Ayu : Msk simple2 dh la mak. Wat mee hoon ke. Tmbh la kuih2 ckit. 5rz pon x beli cincin risik lg. Esk br nk beli.

Ayah : X payah la cincin risik. Kasi cincin tunang terus (I prefer this actually. I don't want my fingers covered with the crowd of jewelleries.)

Mak : Eh biarlah 5rz nk kasi cincin. (Huhu......)

Then that was it.

We manage to get the ring and siap ada ukir nama Fairuz & Ayu lg. My tips for risik:-

1. Wat se simple boleh dh la. Plan awal2 (Mine was quite late)
2. Klu boleh survey harga emas awal2 supaya x t'kejut time nk beli cincin nnti. Skrg emas naik. :(
3. Utk risik beli cincin belah rotan dh la. But it's up to everybody jgk. Klu ada rezeki lebih ape salahnya.
4. Wat time merisik after Asar so that you don't have to cook too much and again it's all depends. Some people wat merisik skali ngan tunang and some people seperate those two ceremony (Mcm Ayu la. Wat asing2 even tho my first plan was to combine it together)
5. X payah la ajk ramai2. Merisik je br.

And so majlis pon berjln ngan lancar (Eh tetiba karangan ni dh jd karangan rojak! Adeh!) Saya telah dirisik on 15th March 2010 and no picture was taken from that day. It was really simple ceremony (Ask my friend Niza) The funny thing that I still can remember during that day was the conversation between my dad and 5rz.

Ayah : 5rz betul nk Ayu ni?

5rz : Hmm.... (I guess he was smiling during this)

Ayah : Betul ni? Dh tau perangai Ayu ni?

Mean while, Niza and I was laughing malu2 gitu. Adeh ayah ni pon. Huhu.....
