main table gift

Isn't it cute. I found this in somebody blog and I send her a comment asking where she picked them up. She was very kind and coorporative giving me this website. http://oleolemanis.blogspot.com/

This is wat im interested at.

Wedding dress

Ok let's reveal wat's being done and wat's haven't done until today.

Before that let me just tell you about my wedding gown. At first I was planning to rent the whole baju for my wedding starting from akad, reception and bertandang. But because I bought kain from endon, i think i might as well make that as baju bertandang. Settle, I already sent that kain to taylor that only charge me RM50.

ok ok back to my wedding gown. Now days the all the boutique have this type of fashion that is juma's fashion. It's a long lace dress. But I'm not quite interested because it is long. Then I went to one of my collique's wedding, she made a modern white & black wedding dress. It was beautiful. Then my auntie ask me, why dont you do something like that. I went to find all the famous boutique in KL ampang. Sesat. Tired. N frustrated. Sad.

Yesterday, I was feeling down and low. Because I got no more time to make a wedding dress and I can't find any wedding dress yet. So yesterday, our planned actually to search for my tudung for my engagement. So because it was late and we know KL is jam at that time, he said just find in tmn equine. I was doubtful but I just follow because my spirit was very at the minumum.

While in tmn equine, I remembered there was a boutique. I open my 'wedding kitab' and found the number. I called him eventhough his name is freda (http://fredalestariputra.com/my%20qebaya.html). I said the only made dresses and not for renting and it cost RM2,500. I was despair. Then he asked, wat is my theme colour. I told him gold. And he said there a few ready made for photoshoot. I was not excited because I know designer will not have many choice and sometimes their ideas a too bizzare. Anyway, we just went for the sake we were there.

This is nice, but mine is more modern white with gold.

The shop do not have any labels and its not for advertising. We went up the shop. It was a very nice, elegant designer place. The first thing I step in, I was surrounded by gold, white modern dresses. I was very excited. I asked him wat's the price if I want to rent...he said 'ok laa i bagi u Rm1000'. And its cheaper than Bangi eleezha boutique. I jump to joy. Plus he was a makeup artist and it cost only Rm500. I quickly book for 3rd january 2010. Unfortunately, 1 Jan is fully booked. Never mind, at least something. He told me for baju nikad usually ppl will make instead of renting for memorial purposes. He advised me not to with him because he charge the same price with baju reception.

So now, my biggest problem solved eventhough not 100%. I have to find only baju akad. Either i buy kain and do with my friend's designer taylor that worked with Salikin Sidek or i just simply rent it. Any one, I just dont mind because I already have my beautiful reception dress. One think solve.

After that, we went to Mines to find camera / video camera for brg hantaran. But in Mines only hps. We called the kakak buat hantaran to pick up his hantaran. She said she wait in her shop in Shah Alam. Before that we got into a fight and that delay us. We took LDP highway to Shah Alam then we got lost. We were nowhere in kawasan kilang in Shah Alam. Carik punya carik, it was almost 12 midnight. We told her to go home and we pick up tomorrow. Tired of stopid fighting that just waste our energy and time.

Anyway, back to the main topic, I've found my baju pengantin.

My idea for baju akad...nak buat kot ngan butik Salikin Sidek tuh but have to hurry.

travel journal to Bali episode 6

At last Eddy, Agus brother in law arrived with his motorbike. We took a taxi and follow him to his house. He is cute like penyanyi Indonesia Peter Pan. But unfortunately he is married with a 4 year old son.

I begged Ika to rent a hotel because I am not comfortable to sleep in his house. His house is more like orang bujang house with no proper place to sleep. Some more he is a taylor. He does his work at home. Adding to that 2 of his brother staying with him. Agus and Eddy ride motorbike to find a hotel for us.

Later the called Ika to say they managed to get a room as cheap as RM70 per room. Is that ok? Because Agus do not want to waste on hotel's rooms. Im quite disapointed when I found out it only cost me RM70. I was expecting a small room with a bed and a bathroom. But when I arrived there, i was surprised because it was spacious. I loved it. With an exlusive spa next to the hotel.

We rest for a while before we go to the market to find bunga telur. Here, surprisingly ppl do not know wat is bunga telur. Then why Malaysian says, there come here to buy perkahwinan stuff, maybe that is in Bandung.

I did't mention about festival Gulungan dan Kuningan rite. When I arrived in Bali, it was Hindu's Hari Raya. Everyone on the road wearing kebaya ketat putih with man wearing kain and songkok like javanese. Here, Hindu's ladies are beautiful and fair. Everywhere you go, you will find carved statues.

travel journal to Bali episode 5

We were supposed to bertolak to Bali at 6 pm after dawn to avoid the hot sun. But that night from no where I had dizzyness and I feel like vomitting. I told Ika, I can't force myself to travel 6 hours to Bali with my condition like that. I have to have my sleep first. Then that night I sleep. I woke up at 2 o'clock in the morning feeling much better. I really want to go to Bali so that my trip to Indonesia will not be wasted. Ika cooked rice with maggie sedap. I ate and packed my bags. At 3a.m in the morning, we were standing by the road side waiting for bus to go to Bali. It just before azan Subuh.

The group was Ika, Ika's hubby, Ika's daughter-Sherly, Agus's mother, Devi-Sherly cousin and me. All 6 of us waited in the dark cooling morning. When the bus arrived, we hoped on the bus and starts our journey to Bali.

While I was trying to sleep, suddenly I was being instruct to go down the bus. We already arrived to the last destination. I was confius. It only took 1 1/2 hours. If it is true I was happy because it was so fast. Actully that was only partial of it. We have 4 hours more to go.

We stopped at the terminal to take a van. The van is about 10 minutes to the jeti. It sun already starting to come out. It was refreshing at the jeti. It is something similar like Penang feri. Went we arrived the ferry was about to go, we had to ran to the ferry. It was really refreshing on the ferry. It was Subuh. I think I will never went there anymore to Bali by ferry in the Subuh. The scenery was magnificant.

The ferry took about 30 minutes to Pulau Bali. After arriving at Gilimanuk pelabuhan we took and aircond tourist bus 3 hours journey to town of Denpasar. The road was crocked. After we reached denpasar, each of us feel like fainting because of the journey.

We ate Bakso at the bus station waiting for Agus's cousin took pick us up to go to his house.

travel journal to Surabaya episode 4

It was friday. Today we took a bus 'lompat2' to the city to find anything for the wedding and sight seeing. The city is about 30 minutes from Asem Bagus. The city's named is Situbondo. :)

After arriving in the city, the first thing we did was change money. I gived Ika RM300 for the trip to Bali and myself have like RM600. I changed it Rupiah. I managed to get like 1 juta 333 ribu rupiah. hehehe if I were in Malaysia with that much money i would be a millionaire.

I had our lunch at a local nasi lauk restaurant. It was cheap and delicious. The soto ayam s with nasi also very yummy. I also ordered burung puyuh that only cost RM2each.

Later we walked around the city and I bought kebaya with full of kerawang. It only cost me RM50-RM70 per kain. It was so cheap. If in Malaysia it will cost me like RM150 each. But I have to jimat a bit because I haven't go to Bali yet. And here, ppl seldom take credit card. I only have less than RM600 to spend for the whole entire trip. Ika bought fridge with her salary. I am happy for her.

travel journal to Surabaya episode 3

2nd day...I woke up @8 o'clock and it seems like 11 o'clock. Hot and humid. I did not do much. I ate my breakfast that was nasi with sup (the have a name that I can't recalled). Watched tv. At noon I slept back. Tired maybe because of the journey.

Later, in the evening. The husband bring us at pelabuhan near their house. It was pelabuhan to go to Bertam. Ika, her husband and their daughter went on a motocycle. Here the called motocyle = sepeda. And I went with one of cousin that aged around 15 on another motorbike. After we took picture near the pelabuhan with sooo windy weather, we have our bakso. Bakso here, ppl take as a makanan ruji tak kira anytime. It has meatballs, self-made with a little bit of bihun and soup. They will add chilly sauce, kicap and lambok (sambal belacan) to it. Mine, i ate bare.

travel journal to Surabaya episode 2

We finally arrived at Surabaya airport, when we came out at the door, we saw Ika's hubby carrying her daughter. At first she did not realize her mother because her mother was working in Malaysia for 2 straight whole year. The the whole bunch of group families greeted us. Happy to see us. They rented a van just to picked us at the airport. I seat in front with Ika, her daughter and another 3 year old cousin.

It was hot sunny afternoon. We stopped at a nearby Nasi Padang shop. We were surprised the cost of the whole family meal cost like Rupiah350. Our currency is RM1 to 2.6 rupiah. The supir purposely brought us to expensive restaurant (even though that restaurant doesn't look exclusive at all) because he said he was shy with anak majikan. hmmm..It was Ika that paying for it and not be. Bt the way I haven't change my currency to rupiah yet.

I thought the journey the her house in Kg Asem Bagus was like only 4 hours. Actually it took us almost 6 hours. If with bus it will take us 7 hours. That oso depending which bus, either the 'lompat2' bus or the express bus.

Along the way, Ika's daughter vomitted twice. Luckily, 'tak kena'. I had fun seing new sight but because of the long journey I became weak and weaker. At last, I reached Ika's house around 8 o'clock t night. Here, the maghrib is 6 o'clock. The dawn is around 3:30 in the morning. So by the time I reached Ika's house it was dark. But all the famili members still awake to greet us. I salam with everyone. Carry my bags. The room was nice and cosy. Mandi terus tido. Tired. Ika's house was a one level storey and was tiled including the rooms and the toilet. So it makes me feel 'clean'..hehehe sori ika. That was a compliment...to be continue 2nd day....

travel journal to Surabaya episode 1

I decided to taka a break from my life by following my maid go back to her hometown that was in Jawa Timur, Indonesia. Her kampung was in Asem Bagus, 7 hours ride with bus from Surabaya airport to the kg. My flight with Air Asia that I took was on 21st October 09. Macam-macam jadik. The night before, I accidentally read messages from my bf to a girl. I was upset. That night I went to his house just to seek the truth before I go to Indonesia. I went back home nearly 1 o'clock in the morning. As usuall Antymah was 'jumping'. I asked him to call the girl and through loud speaker, the girl seems do not know who he was. And I can accept it because he is not the kind that go and flirt around with girls (but we never knows right?).

The next morning, Antymah accusing me for being late because the last night event. I was not in a very good mood and I burst while he drove to send back my car. Consequences from that, Antymah also burst. That we had a scene at the door just on the way to go out of the house to airport. For me that was not a good sign arguing before leaving the house.

So because I ws being blame for lateness, I drove my car @ 140km/hr. We reached airport @ 8.50 in the morning. Quite unexpected. It was fast beyond the time expectation. My flight was @ 10:30. So we had ample time to check-in.

Before leaving, I asked for fogiveness from Antymah and mother. Antymah cried.

2 hours in the flight. I ordered milo that cost me RM5. Expensive for milo 3 in 1. I brought RM1,000 cash in hand and backup by credit card. Later I will tell you want happen....to be continued......
