Oh my..

Remember this post of mine?

It seems that I was not the only one got cheated by this lady, err, guy..

Read here.

Seee, I was not being fussy or over reacted on how my reception turned out. Those who went to lodge police reports got cheated even worst by him (I'm using his original gender).

Too bad, he messed up with the wrong person. The latest victim will haunt him until she gets her money back..

Anyway, what are to happen to those who have engaged him and gave him the deposits for their upcoming events?

18 months..

It'll be eighteen months in 4 days..

Last Tuesday, we finally dragged ourselves to Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor to make our kad nikah. Sila gelak sebab dah lambat baru nak buat tapi gelak juga pada Din&Malia, mereka pun baru nak buat.

Boleh pulak jumpe mereka di JAIS.

The procedure took us less than 10 minutes.

Bring along a copy of your nikah cert, a picture of the husband and the wife then fill in the form (that time was blue in colour). Submit everything to the counter and pay RM40.

Kad akan siap dalam masa 5 hari bekerja tapi perlu call terlebih dahulu bagi memastikan kad tu dah siap.

Travel ke JAIS: 40minit. Submit application, <10minit. Nak balik tu tersangkut dalam jem sebab LTDL.. Kereta tak bergerak langsung, dan nasib berpeluang untuk buat U-Turn.

Lebih senang kalau kad nikah dibuat sekaligus semasa proses nak buat sijil nikah dan boleh diambil di Pejabat Agama Daerah sahaja.. Kan lebih senang begitu. Kenapa lah perlu ke Shah Alam sana..

Whatever it is, jangan lupa semak butiran pada kad atau sijil nikah. Jangan terkena macam saya, bangsa Iban pada sijil nikah... Marah tahu..

Walimatul Urus (Repost)

Sesuatu yang baik perlu dipanjang2kan.. Jangan malas baca bagi yang akan mendirikan rumah tangga.

Repost dari blog Sab.

Walimatul Urus Antara Syariat dan Adat

Pendahuluan

Masyarakat Melayu sudah menganut agama Islam sejak 600 tahun dahulu. Menurut sejarah, Islam dianuti oleh sultan Melaka, dan menjadi ikutan kita. Oleh kerana Islam sudah lama bertapak di negara kita, adat-istiadat perkahwinan banyak mengikut syarak. Namun, wujud beberapa perkara yang menjadi tentangan golongan ulamak kerana dikatakan berasal dari India yang mempunyai hubungan yang agak intim dengan agama Hindu.

Kertas kerja ini merungkai sedikit sebanyak adat perkahwinan yang menurut Islam dan yang dikatakan menurut agama lain. Semoga ALLAH memberikan hidayah kepada mereka yang ingin mendekatkan diri kepadanya.

Definisi Walimatul Urus dan Adat

Menurut perkataan walimatulurus berasal dari perkataan “Al-Walamu” yang memberi makna pertemuan. Dinamakan sedemikian kerana pihak lelaki dan perempuan bertemu sewaktu walimatulurus.
Manakala, menurut istilah, walimatulurus adalah makanan/hidangan yang disediakan sewaktu majlis perkahwinan.
Selain itu, walimatulurus juga didefinisikan sebagai kenduri bagi merayakan pengantin baru, dan walimah adalah suatu jamuan agama, bukanlah jamuan adat.

Definisi adat adalah suatu kebiasaan dari suatu perbuatan yang diulang-ulang dan telah diterima oleh masyarakat sebagai suatu peraturan hidup yang mesti dipatuhi.

Hukum Mengadakan Walimatulurus

Hukum mengadakan walimatulurus (iaitu menjemput orang ramai ke majlis walimatulurus) adalah sunat muakkad. Malahan, Rasulullah saw sendiri mengadakan walimatulurus.
  • Dari Anas bin Malik ra bahawa Rasulullah SAW bersabda, “Lakukanlah walimah meskipun hanya dengan seekor kambing” (HR Muttafaqun alaih)


  • Dari Buraidah ra berkata bahwa ketika Ali bin Abi Thalib melamar Fatimah ra, Rasulullah SAW bersabda,”Setiap pernikahan itu harus ada walimahnya.” (HR. Ahmad)
Tujuan Mengadakan Walimatulurus
  • Mengikut Sunnah Rasulullah saw dan ajaran Islam.

  • Mengumumkan pernikahan pasangan yang baru berkahwin.

  • Menggembirakan pasangan yang baru berkahwin.

  • Sebagai tanda kegembiraan orang tua kerana mendapat menantu baru.
Hukum Menghadiri Walimatulurus

Hukumnya wajib untuk menghadiri walimatulurus melainkan ada keuzuran.
  • Dari Ibnu Umar ra. Ia berkata : Rasulullah SAW. bersabda : “Jika diundang seseorang diantara kamu untuk walimah, maka wajiblah ia mendatangi atau memenuhinya”.


  • Dari Abu Hurairah ra., ia berkata : Rasulullah SAW. telah bersabda : “Sejelek-jeleknya makanan ialah makanan walimah yang hanya mengundang orang-orang kaya saja untuk makan, sedangkan orang-orang miskin tidak diundang. Barangsiapa yang tidak menghadiri undangan walimah, maka ia durhaka kepada Allah dan Rasul-Nya”. HR Muslim & Baihaqi


  • Rasulullah bersabda, “Apabila seorang dari antara kamu diundang ke kenduri nikah, hendaklah ia datang. Maka, kalau ia berpuasa, hendaklah dia mendoakan, jika tidak, hendaklah ia makan”. HR. Abu Daud
Walaupun begitu, menurut ulama, hukum wajib untuk menghadiri walimatulurus adalah jika pihak yang mengundang membuat perkara berikut:
  • Menjemput pelbagai golongan dan tidak terhad kepada golongan yang kaya sahaja.

  • Tiada perkara yang mungkar dan maksiat seperti arak, judi, majlis tari menari dan nyanyian yang melalaikan.

  • Tiada percampuran bebas antara lelaki dan perempuan (ramai antara masyakarat kita yang mengajak rakan-rakan berbeza jantina dan berbual bersama mereka sewaktu walimah).

  • Tiada menggunakan peralatan makan dan minum yang diperbuat dari emas, perak atau sutera.
Perkara-perkara yang perlu dititikberatkan kepada mereka yang ingin mengadakan walimatulurus

Walimatulurus adalah sunnah Rasulullah, dan Rasulullah pernah mengadakan walimatulurus pada bulan syawal sewakti berkahwin dengan Aishah ra. Maka, dianjurkan untuk mengadakan perkahwinan dan walimatulurus pada bulan syawal kerana Aishah ra menyukainya…
  • Dari Aisyah ra, katanya, “Rasulullah saw menikahi aku pada bulan Syawal, dan menggauli aku pada bulan Syawal (pada tahun-tahun berikutnya). Tiada isteri-isteri Rasulullah yang lebih beruntung berbanding denganku”. (HR Muslim)
Orang-orang yang diundang hendaklah orang-orang yang bertakwa, janganlah dari orang yang fasiq.
  • Rasulullah Shallallaahu alaihi wa Salam bersabda, “Janganlah kamu bersahabat kecuali dengan seorang mukmin, dan jangan memakan makananmu kecuali orang yang bertaqwa”. (HR. Ahmad dan dinilai hasan oleh Al-Albani).
Dibolehkan menyediakan bunyi-bunyian untuk memeriahkan majlis.
  • Rasulullah saw bersabda “Umumkanlah perkahwinan dan selenggarakanlah di masjid dan pukullah gendang dan rebana di majlis perkahwinan itu.” (HR Ahmad dan At-Tirmizi)
Hiburan yang disediakan hendaklah sederhana dan sopan dan menggariskan hal seperti:
1)tiada pergaulan bebas antara lelaki dan perempuan
2)nyanyian dan muzik yang tidak menimbulkan nafsu
3)tidak melalaikan ingatan dan kewajipan terhadap ALLAH
4) seni kata nyanyian tiada perkataan cabul ataupun lucah

Janganlah menjemput golongan kaya sahaja.
  • “Dari Abu Hurairah ra., ia berkata : Rasulullah SAW. telah bersabda : “Sejelek-jeleknya makanan ialah makanan walimah yang hanya mengundang orang-orang kaya saja untuk makan, sedangkan orang-orang miskin tidak diundang. Barangsiapa yang tidak menghadiri undangan walimah, maka ia durhaka kepada Allah dan Rasul-Nya”. [HR Muslim & Baihaqi]
Jangan lupa menjemput kaum kerabat dan sahabat-sahabat untuk mengelakkan mereka berkecil hati.
Berniat untuk mengikut sunnah dan memberi kesenangan kepada rakan-rakan yang hadir. Walimatulurus bukanlah untuk menunjuk-nunjuk dan berfoya-foya.
Jangan mengangkat makanan sebelum tetamu habis makan.
Disunatkan menghantar tetamu ke muka pintu. Bermanis muka adalah tanda sifat terpuji.

Ada ulamak menyatakan walimatulurus diadakan selepas malam pertama, kerana Nabi saw tidak pernah mengadakan walimah sebelum malam pertama.
Walimatulurus juga jika boleh, diadakan di masjid.

Perkara yang dititikberatkan bagi tetamu

Memenuhi undangan dan janganlah terlambat.
Jika menerima undangan lebih dari satu, jika mempunyai kelapangan masa, bolehlah pergi ke semua tempat. Namun, jika tidak berkesempatan, boleh pergi ke tempat yang paling awal dan paling dekat antara semua jemputan tersebut.
  • Sabda Rasulullah saw, “Apabila bersamaan dua undangan, maka tunaikanlah undangan terdekat dan jika salah satu daripadanya ada yang lebih awal, maka pergilah ke tempat yang lebih awal itu”.
Hendaklah mendoakan pihak yang mengundang.
Tetamu hendaklah memaafkan segala kesalahan dan kesilapan yang dilakukan oleh pihak pengantin. Semoga kemaafan ini memberi berkat kepada perkahwinan mereka.

Perkara Bertentangan dalam Islam yang selalu dilakukan oleh orang Islam berbangsa Melayu

Menabur beras kunyit. Ini dikatakan bertujuan menguatkan semangat pasangan pengantin dan menghalau roh jahat.

Membaca jampi mentera dan menyediakan pulut kuning dan telur kepada semangat jahat dan diperasap. Ini bertujuan untuk memelihara majlis perkahwinan dari semangat jahat yang mungkin mengganggu majlis.

Persandingan. Persandingan dilarang kerana mempunyai unsur tabarruj iaitu diperhias untuk dipamerkan. Budaya tabarruj ini dilarang oleh Rasulullah. Walaupun begitu, jika pengantin perempuan begitu menginginkan majlis persandingan, dibolehkan dengan pihak yang menonton adalah ahli keluarga dan kaum hawa sahaja.

Perbelanjaan walimatulurus yang besar. Rasulullah hanya mengadakan walimatulurus dengan buah tamar dan keju. Ini kerana walimatulurus bertujuan menghebahkan tentang pengantin baru, bukannya untuk berhibur.

Kesimpulan

Mengadakan walimatulurus bukanlah suatu adat Melayu, tetapi suatu sunnah yang dituntut oleh Islam, yang sudah menjadi perkara biasa bagi perkahwinan orang Melayu.
Maka, orang Islam yang berkahwin mestilah teruja untuk mengadakan walimatulurus kerana padanya ada pahala. Namun, pihak pengantin perlulah betul-betul memahami perkara yang dibolehkan dan perkara yang tidak dibolehkan, supaya perkara yang haram dapat dielakkan. Justeru itu, perkahwinan yang baru dilangsungkan akan diberkati Allah swt.

Time

Give me 30hours a day, and you will still hear me complaining of not having enough time.

*sigh*

Oh, Happy 6 Months Anniversary. Not today, it was a few weeks ago. Cant believe I have been married for 6 months+++ already. And IF I were 6 months pregnant, 3 more months to go man.

Sis-In-Law is getting married next month. Means, I get to meet the extended family, means, get myself ready to answer, "Bila lagi?" or "Dah ada isi belum?". Oh hell yeah you know what I mean.

Last night's dream was weird, or was it a sign. I dreamed that I have a baby. A boy. A fat one. Damn, he has my fat genes. And that's all I can remember.

It's only been 6months++ and people kept asking the same ol'question. I guess, they couldnt think of anything else to ask. It's not that we've been married for 10 years!! I believe that Allah will give us that chance when the time is right for both of us.

Once in a while, I did think about it. I'm worried too because of the accident I had 2 years ago. My pelvis hit the divider. The A&E doctor ran the ultrasound test twice on the day of the accident. In case I had an internal bleeding. Alhamdulillah, everything was perfectly fine that time. So, I hope there's nothing wrong with me.

Currently enjoying my sweet time with Joe at our home. Freedom!

It has been 3 weeks, and I havent cook a single thing except instant noodle which I used the microwave oven.

We bought our 1st stove yesterday. Wee.. But no gas yet. Need to go to Gas Malaysia. We plan to use centralised gas. Tak perlu angkut tong gas naik tingkat 4.

I was invited to witness Sab's akad nikah ceremony on Saturday. It was held in a hall. Sab is a superb event manager. Everything went so well. And it's so cute when the family members were wearing name tags, "Bride's mother", "Bride's father", "Sister 1". I think it's a brilliant idea. Take note future brides out there.

Oh hey. That's me in blue tudung with my dear husband.

The beautiful bride.

Love the dress, love the stage, love the food, love the bride.. Congrats Sab!

Pimples break-out

Been very busy for the last 2 weeks. Need to settle all the work before my long break. And I still have 1 more meeting minute needs to be sent to my boss.

Anyway, the news announced that PM Najib wants to celebrate his 1 Malaysia thing at Batu Caves on the weekend I'm having my wedding. demmit! The road will be in massive jam.

I put-up a map here that I've scribbled directions that may be a bit helpful. Sometimes, a few road will be closed usually at the landasan keretapi area. Click the image for a bigger view:

Try to avoid the green area. People from MR2 (route 3), should follow the blue arrow. Go straight up the fly-over until u meet the big round-about where you can see Tesco, make a U-turn at the round about and immediately after the turn, signal left. There's a small road that'll by-pass the green area.

For those coming from Jalan Kuching, you have 2 routes. No.1 is to take the roundabout, then take a 3 o'clock turn at the roundabout and the rest is the same as above.

OR you can go straight up without taking the round-about (stay on the fast lane from Jalan Kuching, it's faster if the round-about is clogged) then there'll be a big fly-over U-turn on your left. ( If you missed this one, you can make a U-turn at the traffic light ahead). Just follow the red arrow once you've made the U-turn.

3 more days huh. And I have 2 zits on my face.

We spring-cleaned my room and the hall upstairs. We desperately need to do a garage sale. So many nice things that are sayang nak buang tapi taknak guna. But keeping them requires space.

It's so nice to have all the family members gather around. We played pictionary last Friday and we did have a good laugh that night.

Btw, I couldnt fit into my messkit anymore. It's just too tight around the butt area. haha. Therefore, we'll take our pictures in that suit some other time. heee

See you guys on Sunday!

p/s: our theme colour is maroon and Mr.Joe's family is wearing orangie

1 more month..

Collected my wedding invitation card last Saturday and I'm already started on my list. Thanx to Hadi, we went further up along Jalan Pudu, into Jalan Brunei and there are so many printing shops there. We went to some of the shops and finally we, err, I fall in love with this card that has my favourite flower, lily embosed on the front cover.

To my dear fellow blogmates, would you kindly email me your current home address. If I have the time, I may send to you personally but if I don't, Mr.Postman will have to do it for me. My email is surayasukeri@yahoo.co.uk.

See you there ;)

Fear of the Unknown..

Sangat2 terkejut tau bila tau yang PI and Tahnani nak kahwin hujung bulan nih. Bile diorang bermain chinta ni?? Tibe2 dapat invitation.

Mengikut ajaran Islam, memang takde konsep couple. dan dating juga tidak dibenarkan walaupun di tempat orang ramai. Dalam novel Ayat-ayat Cinta pun, Fahri terus kahwin dengan Aisha..

Seseorang yang saya kenal berkenalan dengan seorang wanita (sekarang dah jadi isteri) di dunia cyber. Terpikat setelah lama mengikuti blog wanita tersebut. Contact2 sikit2, dan si lelaki terus menghantar rombongan meminang. Lelaki ni Islamic amat lah. Mereka jarang bertemu apetah lagi dating2 ni. Babak percintaan hanya berlaku bile lafaz akad dan nikah selesai. Jadi sekarang mereka seperti pasangan baru bercinta cuba mengenal hati budi masing2 dan semuanya sangat indah. Macam best jer...

Zaman mak2 kita dulu, memang kebanyakannye bercinta selepas berkahwin. Merisik itu benda yang paling penting, merisik dah ade yang punye, merisik budi pekerti, merisik keluarga ade penyakit keturunan dan merisik lain-lain. Dan selepas tu hantar rombongan merisik secara formal dan tiba masa perempuan pula nak merisik keluarga lelaki yang datang merisik.

Adakah sebab bercinta selepas kahwin yang membuat mereka kekal lama berkahwin? Mungkin DAN berserta dengan faktor2 lain. Zaman sekarang dan zaman dulu mana sama kan.

Zaman sekarang, bercinta bagai nak rak sampai bertahun2, jumpe 1 lelaki baru, tibe2 kawin selepas 3 bulan berkenalan. Ayat orang biasa, Dah namanya jodoh..
3 months and you suddenly decided to spend the rest of your life with him/her without having the extra longer time to risik? Tak takut ker?


*


During the 1st year, Mr.Joe and I had the best time of all. Able to see him only a couple of hours each month therefore every minute was spent with love. Then, DPA came. More time were spent together, the more we saw each other, the more we realised each other's flaws and amazingly, the more we fought. There were a few times when I felt that we were not suitable for each other but I had to at least give it a try to make it successful. And I think we did pass the getting-to-know-the-real-you stage and now we are adjusting ourselves with the new environment avoiding the dislikes of both parties. We hope and pray for the best of us..


*


As the marriage thing getting nearer each day, I've been getting a lot of:
Lepas kawin nanti nampak la perangai sebenar
Sebelum kahwin taik gigi pun rasa coklat
sebelum kawin boleh gosok baju sendiri, lepas kawin, seterika kat mana pun tak tahu
Tahun pertama kahwin, dapat la hadiah birthday and anniversary, lepas kawin, jangankan nak dapat hadiah, ingat pun tidak,
Masa bercinta janji nak buat kerja rumah sama2, lepas kahwin, kita penat buat kerja, suami tahu nak itu je bila malam menjelma.


Horror..

Korang ni tak nak bagi aku kahwin ke?

Tak, we all nak you bersedia yang marriage is not just about having fun. Most guys will change after marriage and the wife changes too because the husband is no longer the man she dated.

"20 things you should know about guys" stated in this magazine. one of it:
1. Romantic guys do not exist. Dont expect that your guy will surprise you with home-cooked-candle-light dinner for your anniversaries or birthdays. It only happens in Korean Drama and Hollywood Movies.

Guy to his gurl: See, most guys are like that. Why do u expect me to be different from our lot?

"20 things you should know about women"
1. Women like shopping. They can spend hours or the whole day at the shopping mall without having a slightest thought of you.

Gurl saying to the her guy: See, most women like shopping. Why cant you accept that this is our nature?

And the fight goes on and on and on defending the features of each gender refusing to change or be slightly different from the normal description instead of trying to adapt to the new environment... Haih..

Ooopss..

Ok, I went to Midvalley Mall (again) today with Ma. I need a woman's advice on buying women's stuff. Ma said the Pi**re C*rdin shoes are not nice. I took her words on it and decided to choose other shoes. However, my eyes fell in love with this 3-inch babies which is only at RM35, so I bought it. Not for hantaran but for my daily use to work.


We were very fortunate that we came today because J*sco was giving RM10 voucher for every RM100 purchase on make-up and cosmetic. I bought the perfume set for both of us and I bought the handbag which I can't wait to use it.. (Sabar, lagi 5 bulan boleh pakai..)

The salesperson at the perfume counter commented that Ma and I are like friends rather that mother and daughter relationship base from the conversation we had with ourselves. Ah, ayat pancing..

Yes we are =)

Shopping

It's been quite some time since I last step into Midvalley.. And I cant remember the last time I bought myself new clothes or shoes.. Jusco has it sales again.. This very pretty Carlo Rino heels are selling at RM19.00 only.. So soft and comfy when I tried it on.. Too bad, there were only 2 sizes left which is not my size.. Then I saw so many cheap beautiful clothes.. Thought of buying maybe 1 or 2.. But I managed to held myself from doing so.. I kept telling myself that I dont need those clothes eventhough they're so cheap.. So I put it back and continued my surveys on the barang hantaran. 

I tried this Pierre Cardin peep-toed heels.. So beautiful and very comfortable.. Pure leather.. I always bought those cheap PVC shoes which they ended up chap all over after quite some time.. And I think, once in a while, I should treat myself with something a bit more expensive, shouldn't I? Marmalade said this is the time to spend for the sake of the country's economic growth =) Mr.Joe said he'll buy that for the hantaran but he'll keep it until our wedding day. He said he cant trust myself for I might wear it before the wedding.. hehe.. Since I forgot to bring the Jusco card, we'll come again next week.

I still can't decide what kind of bag I want for the hantaran. But I know I dont want PVC anymore. Leather is worth buying. I am now wearing Ma's Bonia to work which she bought almost 30 years ago. It still looks new.. Kagum sebab beg tu still intact.. Ma pun bangga her daughter is wearing her bag =)

We went to watch Curious Case of Benjamin Button earlier. It's worth spending 3 hours in the cinema. I learned a lot from the movie. So glad I went to watch it with Mr.Joe.. One thing good about him is, he never once said anything bad about the movies I chose. I can be selfish and chose chick flicks everytime it's my turn to choose, but since he is so charming, I don't mind watching what he desires and he did the same to me.

Today is March 7.. InsyaAllah, 5months from now, I will be Mrs. Joe =)

We parted less than 2 hours ago, and I already miss him.. heee

Snippet #1

Pagi ni, masa tengah golek2 atas katil, malas nak bangun, mama pun panggil dari bawah, suruh bukak TV9, ceramah pasal nikah kahwin.

Ustaz tu mentioned, selain daripada ucap tahniah, ucapkanlah doa kepada pengantin:

Dalam bahasa Arabnya: Barakallah laka, wa barakallahu alaika wa jamaa bainakuma fi kulli khair

Maksudnya:
"Semoga Allah memberi barakah bagi kamu dan memberkati keluarga kamu, dan mengumpulkan kamu dalam kebaikan dan kepada kebaikan."

Time travel..

2 years ago, I thought love is stupid..
2 years ago, I said that marriage is for the idiots. Why bother to live with another person who isn't related to you and going through all the hardship..
2 years ago, I said man is a self-centred lot..
2 years ago, I was thinking of not getting married and raised an adopted kid..
2 years ago, I was a strong believer that men only do good deeds to get something in return..
2 years ago, I only shed tears when watching those Korean drama which 1 of the main characters died..
2 years ago, I knew that men neither show their love with action nor words. "You know I love you that's why I'm still here with you".. Yeah, what ever.. I guess, if that's the case, then they shouldn't be praying to God as long as they still believe in Him eh?

Less than 6 months, I'm going to be a wife..
Less than 6 months, I will have a husband to take care of..
Less than 6 months, Papa wont be paying my zakat fitrah anymore..
Less than 6 months, I'm going to live with a boy..
Less than 6 months, I will have to wake up super early..
Less than 6 months, I will have to cook and clean every single day..
Less than 6 months, I have another family and an Abah..
Less than 6 months, I can no longer hug and kiss Mama every morning before I go to work..
Less than 6 months, I still want to cry and go to sleep when we have our fights..
Less than 6 months, I hope that romance isn't just only during the early years of marriage..
Less than 6 months, I hope I were given good health to take of myself and him..
Less than 6 months and till the last day of my life, I hope we can tolerate each other and live happily ever after..

I'm having cold feet now..

What do u think..

Ma dah mula bising sikit sebab saya tak menunjukkan sebarang perancangan perkahwinan..
"Ingat 8 bulan tu lame ker huh", terdengar suara2 mereka yang baru abis majlis kahwin. inai kat kuku pun pekat lagi..

So, I did a little research for wedding cards. Visited this website. We thought the cards are quite economical and nice. Until we stumbled into this website. For the price of less than RM1 per piece, we came across some nice cards. Here are some of it.

Choice 1


Choice 2


Choice 3


Choice 4


We prefer either choice 1 or choice 2..
I like Choice 4.. It looks different from ordinary wedding cards. But the space is limited. So Choice 4 isn't a choice at all. hehe

I read a chat forum about wedding cards. Most of them agreed that RM2-RM4 for wedding card is very cheap. I mean, their intonations were liked
"Rm2 only!!! That's very cheap man!!"

Call me a cheapskate, but I think RM2 for wedding cards is just too expensive. If you are inviting 1000 people, meaning it's RM2K for wedding cards only. Anyway, do you keep those wedding cards you received? I know I didn't. Once attended, I put the card in between the old newspaper stacks. Well, I guess money isn't a concern for rich, wealthy people. It's affordable for them.

Sis Yana asked me to check out this website regarding doorgifts. Tetriss Glass tu cute kan? Sis Yana nak sponsor ker? hehe.. Some people go all out about wedding doorgifts. I want something simple that the guests can use it and not just toss it away after attended the reception. Simple, nice yet economical. Any ideas?

Romance, do they last?

It's almost 10 and I haven't touch anything on my desk today.. Ouch..

Anyway, I have finished reading Mitch Albom's, For One More Day and reading another by Nicholas Sparks, Dear John..

Call me a sentimentalist for I used to be a sucker for romance novel. English romance novel. Having sisters 8, 7 and 4 years older, I first started reading Judith McNaught when I was 10 when I saw they were so engrossed with it. Lots of thing I didn't understand that time but I just cont on reading and rereading all over again when I get older.

Then, I was lost in Jeffrey Archer's. I finished reading As the Crow Flies in just 2 days. Lecture notes were put away and time were spent reading Archer's novels that I borrowed from the library.

After Uni years, I noticed that I haven't read much.. Most of the time were spent 'SMS'ing Wan..Hehehe.. Till now..

Mitch Albom's For One More Day is as good as Tuesdays With Morrie. A simple book with deep, strong words that touches your heart. For those who have issues with their mothers, I suggest you read this book. Then you'll realize a mother's sacrifices you have long forgotten..

I always like Nicholas Spark's.. Romance novel written from a man's point of view differs from the usual McNaught's, Steel's, Garwood's, Deveroux's and many others.

Talking about romance and stuff, I was rummaging a box inside my cupboard a few days back. Things from my past, cards, dried flowers, eccentric notes passed during classes, autograph books and this letter I received when I was 14 from a secret admirer.

I was popular in school for being the pure, obedient and excel student. The summary for that is a NERD..haha.. But my clique during that time were from those who were popular-because-they-are-pretty type of people.. Nerd nerd pun, I had a very hunky boyfriend mase tu tau..hehehe..

Therefore it was something bizarre for receiving letter from a secret admirer because I was just a boringplainjane during school years. The words in it were nicely formed that made me terawang2 when I read it..hahaha.. He even wrote "I like u" all over my table and on the blackboard..

The secret admirer asked to meet but I didn't show up. Then everything stopped..

But I still kept his letter for remembrance ;)

Wan never wrote me a love letter. He's a man who doesn't write but he had done and said so many lovely things..

When I was going away for OBS, he waited till the bus was no longer seen.

He surprised me on the morning I was leaving for Tentera Module and waited till the bus left.

He is willing to stroll in the rain to get me things.

He wakes up early everyday because he needs to arrive at my house to pick me up to work.

He sings in the phone to cheer me up..

Surprises me with flowers and gifts..

Concerns when I'm not eating my meal on time because I'll have migraine later..

And yesterday, when I said, "Air bandung ni manis sangat lar"
He replied spontaneously, "Manis lagi gefren abg".. Awwwwwww.....

Nonie said this honeymoon years I'm having now will finally comes to an end, because the guy will no longer bother to do all those things anymore.. Hmmm...

But I have seen couples who remain having romantic relationship even after 20 years of marriage. The hubby calls and texts when they are apart, flourish with cheeky notes and gifts..
I guess, they are the lucky ones.. And that relationship does exist..

~Praying for the best..

For the sake of menanggung kerja..

Engagement should be a discreet ceremony known only by family members and close friends. Neway, for those who read my blog, I'm getting engage tomorrow.. And I'm still at work today..

I am menanggung kerja so I cant take leave for 28 days from the date start. If I did take leave, the date will restart on the day after I took leave and the payment will also starts on that day.. So, for the sake of the payment, I am here resting my butt on this chair..

Yang tak acinya, Wan took 2days off.. Today and Monday.. Sleepy and tired from last nite's staying up adding beads on my baju tunang, I had to force myself to wake up and drove to Putrajaya.. I bring along my baju sebab tak habis lagi sewing those beads. Tu lar gatal.. Ngade adding another section of beading work on my baju and I thought I can finish it last night. Too bad, I dozed off with the tv and light on till morning.

Thought of going back early today but I have a meeting later in the afternoon.
I may have to stay up again tonight making sure everything is proper and the house is neat and clean for the occasion tomorrow. Sis Yana will arrive today. Hope Bro Pian is willingly rajin to help around..

I'm so sleepy and not in the mood of doing anything today.. I should have been at home today helping Ma.. =(

~Shite, I have pimple on my nose... Grrrrrrrrrr

It's all about money

Eating outside is not cheap these days.
Nasi+lauk= minimum is RM5
Drinks=RM2.

Inclusive of breakfast, total round up will make it RM10 per day.
Assuming we work 22days per month (minus the weekends), minimum is RM220.
For my new monthly budget, I just put RM150 for food. (Gee, getting married is no joke. It's all about $$)

A cheapskate I am. I bring my own home made breakfast and don't buy any drink during lunch. (kan Abg?) I drink when I get back to my office. And I have the 5-10mins gap of no drink after eating. (Seriously it's true, my nutrition lecturer, Prof. Suriah said:
No bath or drink after heavy meals will prevent us from getting buncit.
And I practice those tips during my degree years, betul menjadi. You can ask my housemate, I ate a lot and remained having flat tummy. No sit-up or exercise were done during that period of time.
And during DPA, those tips were left undone. And now, excess baggage on my tummy. *sigh*

Anyway, how to save money and still have a full tummy:
1) Bawa bekal which need full commitments to wake up early to prepare for your food.
2) Don't order drinks and bring along your tumbler to the cafe.

Well, Papa has sensitive stomach. He cant eat outside food. So Mama had to prepare his lunch EVERYDAY. Although his office was in Tabung Haji Building, he still hit the road at 6.30am to avoid the jam at Jln Kuching. So Mama had to wake up at 5.30am to cook fresh food or heated what we ate during dinner the previous night.

Eventhough Papa is no longer working, Mama just cant make herself sit doing nothing after her Subuh prayer. She will pack me breakfast. (Sometimes I did it myself.) When she has the time, she will cook yummy nasi goreng or mee goreng or bihun goreng. or most of the time, she packs me wholemeal bread with peanut butter and jelly. Saving me a few bucks per day.

It is what the wives did during those days eh. Woke-up early to prepare breakfast and lunch for the family to save a few bucks and providing good food, settle-up the laundry and hung them to dry before went to work, get the children ready for school, yada, yada, yada... Mama used to do all those things and she even sewed our baju kurung for four girls.

Being a career woman and having the money to have maids and buy everything from the shop making them do less and less work as a wife. Planning of getting married next year, make me think of lots of things. Am I able to do all those things Mama did back then. It may be too early to think about kids but I dont want my kids to spend more time with my maid rather than with me. (IF I have to take a maid. Because Wan doesnt like the idea of having maid. If taknak maid, kene rajin2 buat kerja rumah tau)

~Tak nak jadi housewife. I want to have money on my own. But what is money when you can't give love to your children kan??

Jodoh

Read this at Friendter's wall..
Jodoh Merupakan Takdir Dan Perlu Mencarinya

Jodoh di tangan Tuhan, tetapi manusia harus berikhtiar mencari dan memilihnya
Pendapat ini lebih baik dari pendapat pertama, walaupun masih belum sempurna. Masalahnya terletak pada sudut ikhtiar untuk mencari dan memilih jodoh.

Jodoh di tangan Tuhan dan manusia wajib berikhtiar mencari dan memilihnya sesuai dengan ketentuan yang ditentukan Tuhan" Pendapat ini lebih sempurna. Memang itulah aturan mencari dan memilih jodoh.


Selain daripada pendapat di atas, masih ada cara lain yang digunakan di beberapa tempat seperti :

1. Jodoh dicari dan dipilih oleh orang tua tetapi perkahwinan berlangsung atas persetujuan anak.

2. Anak lelaki mencari dan memilih jodohnya sendiri tetapi keputusan berkahwin bergantung kepada orang tua.

3. Anak lelaki atau perempuan mencari atau memilih jodohnya sendiri tetapi keputusan perkahwinan bergantung kepada kedua belah pihak orang tua.

4. Anak lelaki atau perempuan mencari atau memilih jodohnya sendiri serta menentukan sendiri perkahwinannya.


Mengikut ajaran Islam, persetujuan antara kedua belah pihak merupakan perkara asas, iaitu atas persetujuan dari calon suami dan isteri. Ini disebabkan perkahwinan di dalam Islam bertujuan untuk keselamatan dan kesejahteraan pasangan tersebut.

Kedua orang tua harus turut serta memikirkan atau memerhatikan jodoh bagi anaknya. Jadi masalah memilih jodoh dalam Islam boleh dilakukan oleh anak ataupun kedua orang tua.

Namun begitu, kedua orang tua tidak boleh sesuka hati mencarikan calon untuk anaknya. Ianya mestilah berlandaskan ajaran Islam.

Bagi menentukan jodoh untuk kaum wanita, setidak-tidaknya perlu diperhatikan beberapa ciri
berikut:

i. Pemimpin keluarga yang baik dan bertanggungjawab untuk membina rumahtangga

ii.Mencari nafkah yang jujur dan berhasil

iii. Pasangan ideal dalam erti;
- bersikap baik terhadap isteri
- dapat memberikan kebebasan berfikir dan memberi pendapat
- menerima kekurangan dan kelemahan isteri
- dapat membantu tugas isteri dalam keadaan dan kegiatan tertentu
- dapat menjaga kewibawaan isteri
- dapat membimbing isteri ke jalan yang baik
- dapat menghormati dan menyayangi sanak keluarga isteri

iv. Bapa yang baik dan sayang kepada anak-anak

v. Pasangan yang baik zahir dan batin
So, I have to get started now.. Can't waste any of my precious time, can I? *laugh*
