Sorry peeps for the belated update, have been enjoying the procrastination mood these past few days at home, enjoying the luxury of timeless internet connection without having to worry about minimising the windows screen or worrying about internet usage statistics going rocket high at the office. Heaven gila! The last time I went back to my hometown was during the fasting month and dengan niat suci murni ni i thought since I have 4 days of leave to clear before my last day of work at the end of this month, might as well follow my parents back home right after the engagement ceremony. Kononnya nak tgk pemandangan kat highway..almaklumlaa everything I go back home it's always driven by a driver dressed in black (AirAsia pilot la tu)..but I guess i was too tired from the hectic preparation that i just slept, and slept and slept the whole way..I only woke up whenever we reached the toll to count the toll fare to survey on his behalf. Yela rombongan kawin nanti kan pegi Penang.. Guthrie - RM4.20 Rawang - Ipoh Selatan - RM26.80 Jelapang - Juru - RM16.80 Sg Dua - Bertam - RM1.60 One way cost RM49.40 multiply 2 and multiply with how many cars following..tade la teruk sgt kan? kui kui kui  Anyways! where should I begin? I think I should start with the FAQ (frequently asked questions dearie) Nape banyak gile hantaran? Why in Shah Alam, not Penang? As many of u know, my hometown is in Penang, my actual house where my parents are staying is there. The house that i'm currently residing is also my house which my dad had bought for investment purposes but since I dah tercampak keje kat sini, so I jadi penjaga rumah la..haa ada paham? haha..and my fiance's side is from Klang. So, to carry all those dowry all the way from Klang-Penang hmm..it will be troublesome knowing how the dowry is decorated nowadays and with the travelling cost and wat not, we decided to lump it all up during the engagement, thus there will be NO ADDITIONAL dowry during the solemnization. Understood? And the majority of my relatives are based in KL & Selangor, so..the idea of having it here is for all to gather and help out with whatever that's necessary..even if they can't make it to my wedding day in Penang since it's a bit far bak kate org (tp sebenarnye tak jauh pon..4 jam je) might as well they make the effort to come during my engagement..fair and square. Bile nak kawen? Tentatively I'm engaged for one year..requested by his mum. Reason being because she wants a 1 year gap because last year in January, his younger sis got married, this year in 2 weeks time, his older brother is getting married..so she wants my turn to be next year. ntahla penat kut..i'm bummed, i know. But we'll see how things go with me starting my new work next month..am not too sure whether I will be sent overseas for training or not..and my parents they wanna go for Hajj this year..if there are unavoidable situations that we have to adhere to...the wedding date could be pushed to this year..anyhow i'll keep u all posted on this ya. When did you guys started preparing? 4 months ago..exactly after the rombongan merisik came to propose me..aicewah! haha so the dowry from my side we appointed Kak Laily from http://boutiquechantek.blogspot.com/ so, she's in charge of my attire, my make up, the decorations, and the hantaran..so basically my role is just to provide her all the barang hantarans and the material for my attire, and she and her staff are the ones who transformed me from Mieza yg comot ke Mieza yg control ayu hahaha..so if you feel like u wanna use my baju tunang for ur engagement ceremony..u can do so. I have no idea now who to appoint for my wedding in Penang..sigh this is one of the drawbacks when most of the good peepz are located in KL. 08.02.08 The day finally came. I have to thank my relative & my parents for being so committed in making this event a memorable day of me. I know, it's just a small scale simple engagement ceremony but the efforts that they have put is awesome. We had mini meetings beforehand to delegate who is to do what, my wish to get a purple khemah mcm kete Persona kaler purple came true..hehe, It was hectic, even during the day itself, I was still helping out my parents while waiting for Kak Laily to come to transform me. There were last minute glitches as suddenly his side wanted to add 2 additional dowry when it was already set to 13 vs 15. Ish kecoh tul..i dunno how they settled it, but it got settled. So finally at 3.45pm, his side arrived, 10 cars and 40 ppl in total to my house. I dunno what time did his mum finally came to my room for the sarung cincin but i know there were loadss of camera flashes aimed at me..haha mcm artis je rasa. I was hoping so hard that it would not rain during the day..but it did! HEAVILY right after the sarung cincin..org kate tu ujan rahmat eh..i dunno, my head was pounding from the tight veil. Nak control ayu punya pasal, makan pon tak selesa hehe. I just wanted everyone to enjoy eating their meals comfortably eventho it was raining. He stayed back at my house, chatted with the relatives, we took photos..i think there are a total of 500++ photos taken by the photographer..he is awesome for being very patient for someone as bengong as I am..coz aku ni tak reti control ayu hehehe.. Wanna see the sneak preview of my photos? go here : http://hairiestylo.fotopages.com So..basically dats it people. I'm engaged! hehehe
