My Brand New Ramadhan for Mak and Bapak in Kuching

Dear Mak Kuching & Bapak;

How's Ramadhan treating you or should I say, how are you treating your Ramadhan? I am doing great over here. Me and Abu cooked Nasik Ayam on the first day of Ramadhan, and his chicken was to die for :D It's the 4th day of Ramadhan already and alhamdulillah, I have never missed my terawikh yet. Here we have a lot of masjids and suraus nearby, so we try to go to different ones everyday. It is heartrending to see each of them was packed with jemaah. If in Kuching, we always settle for 8 rakaat, but here I am a proud 23 rakaateer. hhihihi

Yesterday, Abu and I went to bazaar ramadhan for the 1st time. We went to this place called Lok Kawi, it is similar to our Kem Penrissen in Kuching, so all the food are undoubtedly good. I was craving for soto since  three days a go but that particular soto restaurant did not open. Luckily I bought Sup Daging, to compensate my craving, at least the closest to it, and it was really2 nice, reminds me of Bapak. Nyaman sekali juak! hehe

So far, we haven't gone eat out for bukak puasa yet. As for after terawikh, we resume our iftar before we go for our tadarus. We never failed to finish at least a juzuk per night and now we are heading to Juzuk 7. Alhamdulillah.

I hope both of you are doing well over there. Sorry for not being able to celebrate this holy month together.I miss you guys so very mucho!

P/S: My hugs and kisses for Jibril, Bella, Yatim, and Comot.

Wedding Props

With so many things in hand, I think I gotta pass this one. I managed to only come out with a backdrop. This idea of backdrop I once thought during my undergrads dinner but rejected, yet there was this stupid award that up until now I couldn't think what is the rationale behind that foolish award. God bless!

My sister then made some photo booth props which was from her own initiative. I am happy because my guests were very supportive and they had fully utilized the booth. Glad that I am surrounded by smart and fun people!!

Bridesmaid

I am the luckiest girl in the world when my BFF agreed to be my bridesmaid after I forcefully appointed her at single attempt. Actually, she was the 1st one from outstation who arrived in Kuching. No doubt she is the best candidate because she knows me well than I know myself.  What's more special is this lady performed three songs at my wedding. Yup, she is a professional singer too! :) She performed 3 of our love songs: Cahaya Cinta, You're still the one, & Bertakhta di Hati... To Ika, I can never repay u back my dear! Thanks for everything!

Wedding Handbouqet

For my handbouqet, I decided not to go off track, I stick to classic rose-stem bouqet, for all three ocassions.

Dais

To my surprise and others too, I was not involved thoroughly in my own dais design. I gave 100%  liberation & trust to my wedding planner and mom to come up with the design and color. I only provide them with snippets of some dais that I like. Overall, they have done a satisfactory job and I love my dais. My akad dais was inspired by Farish Aziz's wedding and my reception was free style. Actually, for the reception, I kinda dislike the daisies, I think it could have looked better with only roses. My dais were both done by Petra Bridal.
