Engagement day! Shopping kain nikah and sanding

Okay first and foremost, 1 more week to go until the engagement day! Excited, nervous, can't wait!

Anyway, I went to Medan last 2 weeks ago for my company major event. As usuall, palm oil then there's demonstration going on. Well you know, palm oil is a very sensitive and heaty subject or issue. Anyway, i did tried to find time to go this place called pasar ikan. NO it does not sell fish. For your info it selles kain and stuff. AND i did somehow managed to buy some lace for my sanding :) damn cheap ok. When i went to gulatis euro moda the lace they are selling are like rm450 per meter. I was like whaaaaat?!

The lace that I bought in medan is waaaay cheaper. And the material is the same as the ones in euro moda. Have a look!

So this is the Kain that I bought in Medan for my sanding.  I love it! :) Did spend waaaaaaay alot of time choosing.  All the laces are B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L :)

I realize that Since I am getting married Next Year, I need to send all my kain to the tailor as soon as possible.  My mom have been asking me to send the kain that I bought to the tailor since my design are abit complicated plus I am using lace, then the amount of time that they need to tailor my dresses will be like 5-6 month. @_@

So yeah, last week me and my hubbs Jai went to Euro Moda.  On saaaaalleeee..  I went a bit mental there.  Jai was like, " Baby, relax." hihi.. So I did went and look for my solemnization kain.  Was thinking to get like a chiffon, but somehow the lace was eye catching instead of the chiffon.  I told the salesperson lady that I wanted to try the lace and the lining on me.  And so she did.  No idea how she did it, but when the lining and lace was around me I immediately fell in love with it!

The lining is off white but the lace is just plain white.  Not that off white. Cause I can see a bit of yellowish there.  But probably it might be the lighting because when I looked at it, it looked kinda off white.  But yea,  let the picture tell you and you judge it. :)

Oh yea!! Bought a last minute tudung for my Merisik and Tunang day.  it was sooo pretty, but when I asked the sales lady on the price I was like.. WHAT! she said she will give me a discount.  Iwas hesitant at first, but then I thought to myself, " Once in a lifetime".  So yea.. Plus, I can even use it during other occasion right? :)

RM220.  Damn right its worth it!!

Ignore the eyes.  Was like rubbing my eyes and the eye shadow was completely remove.  So yea.

After all that.  I thought that everything was completed.  NO!  Received a last minute information and confirmation that the other side of the Family wanted to give out gifts.  Hantaran la.  5 dulang.  I was like WHAT?!  Since the agreement a few month ago was to not have any hantaran during tunang, but only during the Nikah part, they decide to go ahead with the hantaran for tunang.  Saying that it is their very strong adab protocol and stuff.  AND also the mom said the reason to give was to appreciate their menantu.  I was like.. Awwwweee.. :) Terharu. :)  So yea, decided on the 5 balas 7 hantaran.  Which I need to think NOW on the 7 things to give him.  Which eventually I need to solve it like this week as next week is the DAY!  

So I did think around asking Mr.Google on the things that are suitable to give for the hantaran tunang.  Only a few did managed to get my attention.  And so, I did have a discussion with my mom on it.  And she agreed on two things that she will do, as part of the hantaran tunang, fruits and kelupis (Sabah traditional delicacy).

So these are the things that I have bought for the hantaran tunang.

 Potpourri.  Which is actually a candle thingy.  I had an idea to put in Potpourri.  Bought it in Giant. :)

Cake!!! 

Other thing that I need to buy for the hantaran is: Chocloate, Kain Pelikat AND Kain samping + songkok.  Will be buying the samping and songkok this Saturday and Masjid India.  Where else to buy cheap and pretty samping right? But the samping in Masjid India are quality ones.  Because I remembered my Dad bought his samping there for thousand over ringgit.  @_@

So there's Fruit, Kelupis, Potpourri, Cake, Samping + Songkok, Kain Pelikat AND Chocolate which I will buy it when I am in the airport later.  Cheaper there. :)

Oh ya, One more thing, Bought a last minute shoe for my tunang. :)  Matching with the baju and Tudung!!

Bought it in summit.  Wanted a really simple shoe for my sanding. :)

Also!! Bought this famous Delicacy when I was in medan.  Bika Ambon!!  Ok la.. Not Bad :P

That's it for now!

Till then,
Stay tuned!
