Muka penat lepas bershopping sehari suntuk n tak cukup tdo. Posted by Hello

Monday, March 14, 2005

Reached Nura's place from Terengganu at 0600 this morning. Thanks gazillions to Nura, aunty Beah, uncle Ahmad, aunty Zan and uncle Zali for all their help. Thanks to Amir jugak for allowing Nura to accompany me. Terima kasih sesangat sangat. Byk tolong macam2. Tak cukup perkataan nak describe byk mana terima kasih nih. :)

A trip to Tganu
Friday, 2100, Nura n i was on the bus, on our way to Tganu. A very long ride, tapi susah nak tdo. Dunno why. Nwyas, reached Tganu bus stn at 0530, and Amir's parents picked us up shortly after subuh, and went for a light drink.

Sampai umah, bedebush kejap, before starting the day. Around 1100, kuar umah, tgk kain tenun kat area Losong, umah kawan mama-Zan. Carik2, tapi takde color yang dikehendaki.. so proceeded pegi pekan, had lunch nad headed straight to Pasar Payang, carik sutera tenun. Smpi kedai pakcik Abdillah, and dia cerita la abt beza kain sutera tenun, kain tenun, songket Tganu, sonket India... dia btau so tht kitorg tak kena tipu. Kebetulan, kedai pakcik ni ada kain SUTERA TENUN color yang dicari tu, so bargain sesikit, pastu beli la kain tu. Not my favourite color, tapi bukanla tak suka langsung kat color tu, kira bolehla.. but since mama suh beli color tu, amek la jugak.

Pas pasar payang, singgah solat, n terus pergi pameran kraf, kebetulan pulak ada masa kitorg sampai. Carik la bakul mengkuang yang diminati tuh. Perhhh.. ada! Murah lak tuh. So, mama-zan tlg tempahkan, senang dia buat, sbb dia duduk Tganu kan. Org tu kata, bila siap, nnt dia contact la mama-zan. :) Pastu Nura belikan pulak bekas mengkuang hexagon... :) Boleh buat letak apa2 yg patut nanti.

Blk tgk pameran, gi pulak kedai Mak Wan, nak carik songket utk sampin cik abang i nanti. Bawak skali kain nak matching kan. Hahaha.. brader kat situ minat la pulak ngan kain tu! :p Pastu dapat la songket tu at avery reasonable price. Nasib baik ada mama-zan ngan Pak Zali yang byk kenalan nih... semua tempat gi, dapat best price. :) Dlm pada carik songket tu, beli la jugak kaftan 3, satu utk mama, satu utk aunty, satu utk i... blk kang, pakat2la pilih.

Blk beli songket, pergi plak tepi pantai kat Teluk Ketapang, layang makang kepok, sotong, cucur ngan air kelape. Sedap weyyy.. sesambil makang, sesambil kena tiup anging laut. Gambar ada, nantila upload. Tp sikit je la gambonye pun. :p

Pastu, blk umah. Mandi2, mama-zan masak mee goreng. Cepat betul dia masak. Kejap je dah ready.. n kitorg pun kejap je dah mula menyuap. Nyam!

The next day, pak zali kena g keje. Mama-zan amek cuti sbb kitorg dtg. Baik sungguh! So, tunggu adik amir, ayo blk dr urusan JPJ, pastu kitorg lak kuar... Masa tunggu ayo tu, sempat gak mama-zan buat puding roti. Sedap sey! Thari, amek Pak Zali dr keje utk g kenduri kawen anak member Pak Zali kat Cendering. Nura nasib baik gakla ada bj kurung, dia br amek dr tailor kat sana. Aku ni, terpaksa pinjam satu set baju kurung, tudung sampaila ke kasut dr mama-zan. Nasib baikla muat2. Malu sungguh! dahla baju tu baju baru, mama-zan baru amek dr tailor sekali ngan Nura. Aku plak yang merasmikan. Hisyyy... Aku maluk! Pastu mama-zan siap bagi kitorg sampul dah berisi duit utk bagi masa salam2 ngan mak pengantin nnt. Iskk... malu giler!

Balik kenduri, hantar Pak Zali blk keje, kitorg pergi stesen bas, carik tudung. Hmm... tudung dua helai, habis 3/4 dr rm100. Hehehe.. sabarje la. Takpela.. ocasion penting punya pasal kan, takpe la berhabis sket beli tudung. Lagipun, nak buat tutup kepala. :) Blk dr stesen bas pun dah agak petang, singgah umah mak mama-zan (nenek amir n nura), utk solat n minum petang. Lepas tu, proceed amek Pak Zali from work, singgah lak kedai kain. Wahha.. terbeli lak kain satu, nak buat baju kurung potongan riau punya pasal. Heheh.. ingat kalau ada rezeki, nak buat kebaya plak. :)

Dah settle2 semua, blk umah. On the way, singgah beli kepok kat Losong, mama-zan singgah beli lauk utk masak mlm. Mlm, siap2, mkn, pastu dah nak kena naik bas nak balik penang.

Pagi, sampai Bworth, uncle Ahmad amek. Thari tdi, smpi school ngan Nura.

Sekali lagik, tima kasih yang tak terhingga kepada semua yg terlibat. Banyak2 terima kasih. Sangat!!! :D

Platinum VS White Gold

Any reccomendations?? Macam dua2 metal ni ada pros n cons (as always). Ntahla.. :p

Platinum is clearly the best choice in white. Most Platinum is 95% pure platinum with only 5% iridium or palladium alloy blended in for hardness and polish. The hallmark inside the ring is important: it should read 950 Plat or simply Plat. Platinum is by far the best choice for all diamond settings, and, unless specified, we set all Butterfield in Platinum heads. Its steely white color won't change over time, and, because it is more dense and malleable than gold, the prongs are less likely to break off. Platinum engagement rings are the ultimate. The weight, feel and durability of platinum is unsurpassed. While over time platinum will take on a brushed, antique look called “patina” with wear, it can easily be polished to look new. For most, however, patina is a mark of quality and part of Platinum’s unique and timeless appeal. If you choose white, we strongly urge you to choose Platinum.

White Gold is your other option. White gold is made by blending pure gold with alloy and nickel. It is the nickel that changes the gold’s natural yellow color to white. White gold’s biggest appeal is price. White gold offers the look of platinum at as much as 1/3 the cost. In smaller rings, white gold is also a better choice because white gold is less malleable than platinum. White gold’s only draw back is that over time, with wear, white gold usually turns to a faint yellow, off white color. Our jewelers can keep your white gold rings shiny and white with rhodium plating. White gold is popular and is the logical choice if Platinum is out of the budget.

First day into the lab after a long break. :D Pagi sibuk revive2 memory on the project.. hehe.. skang baru bley blog sikit2. Sunyi je lab ni. Dulu ramai.. and now there're three. Huhuu.... Bila la plak giliran aku utk meninggalkan lab nih?? Hmm.. by hook or by crook, end april mesti cabut jugak from this place. MESTI!!! (so keje kena siap tau!!)

Manyak citer... tatau cane nk letak. Hmm...

My Dermatologist... sigh!~
Went for the monthly dermatologist appoinment. Tergezut! Dr suruh buat blood test. Huhu.. tahik sungguh. Teringat the time when the 3 of us (Nurul, Azanie n myself) went for the basic blood test at the campus' health centre. Hahha.. The person who drew the blood was very kind la.. He did it slowly, so it wasnt that painful.. still, that didnt stop me from being nervous.

Anyway, the dr did what he's supposed to do, and i looked away... and it ended in a few secs. Sangat sekejap!!! Maybe because he was using this fancy blood-drawing instrument kot?.. unlike the normal syringe that they used in the campus. Sgt sekejap, and pain free. The dr said the results will be ready in a week.. Huuhuu.. nervousnya nak dapat result. :/

Nestled in love
Ahahahakss... yes indeed. :D We just spent the whole day together lazing around the love nest. The sight at the love nest was truly breath taking... everything, the beach, the garden, the pools... Truly provided the tranquility and the relaxation that we both need, in these stressful times.

The most memorable thing, we hung out at the lounge, enjoying the live band. The singer came to us to chat and asked if there's any song we'd like them to play. Dan suggested "Wonderful Tonight"... :) and they sang the song for us.. and Dan sang along, to me. :D Haha.. rasa nak cair di situ jugak.. malangnya takde baldi nak takung diri yang dah cair. wahaha.. Thanks for romancing me honey. :) (Oh... and the song is very special to me... sentimental values ;) )

We also visited the petting zoo at the love nest.. 'Twas indeed a lotta fun. Takde la byk jenis pets pun.. ada bunnies, ayam serama, peacocks and terrapins. Seronok la kacau the cute furry animals. :)

All in all, the trip to the love nest was really, out-of-this-world-ly fun. Thanks a lot honey. That meant a lot to me. *mmwahhh!*

Long Time No See
Monday, went to see a friend from campus. Tlg pass kan kad jemputan abg ngah sbb azeno malas nk pos. We went out for dinner. :) To that particular friend.. tima kasey sbb belanje dinner.. Lain kali, kalau wallet aku kembung byk duit kertas, i'll buy you dinner plak. (provided dpt clearance from Dan la) ;)

Shop til We Drop!!
Memang drop broke sungguh! Monday siang2 pegi shopping2 barang yang perlu2. Beli itu ini, hmm.. beratus jugak habis. :p Sian Dan... kuar duit 1K in the morning, by the time we got back, tinggal beberapa keping je notes rm50 tu dalam wallet dia. Heheh.. Tu baru berapa percent punya preparation. Isk.. nak kena bukak tabung aa.. tabung membina masjid. Huhuhu...

Thanks for the everything sayang!

Nenek
Tri-monthly checkup nenek kat Ampang Puteri hari Selasa. So, mama pun half day je jaga Athirah, after zuhur hantar nenek g checkup. Seb baik kejap je, sbb org pun tak ramai sgt. Kejap2 pun, ada la 2 jam lebih.

Habis2 checkup, nenek g amek ubat. Huhu.. ubat aje dah 900++. Mahalnye! So, kena ingat utk jaga kesehatan dr skang, so that masa dah tua2 sok takyah makan ubat2 yg mahal.. save duit tu utk pegi melancong! :D

Survey with Mama
Back from the hospital, hantar nenek kat umah Mak kat kg pandan. Lps asar n enjoying goreng pisang, went to jln conlay with mom, tgk pameran kraf. Found the bamboo boxes that i wanted. Selling for rm28. Ok la.. tak mahal sangat. tp, still nak carik gak kat tganu, kalau2 ada yg lagik murah... since dah mmg nak pergi sana kan.

Saturday sambung survey. Carik kedai ribbon2 kat Chow Kit, and then proceeded to Jln TAR. Went to SSF, tgk bunga pahar cantik gila!! Tanya the bro yg tgh buat bunga tu, sebatang harga berapa. RM 18. Adeyyy... pensan... Brader tu kata, buat snirik lagi murah. Dia bley ajar cane nak buat.. So membeli belah la kat SSF utk belajau buat bunga.. Nnt, bunga pahar masa wedding will be made by the bride herself tau! Jgn tak tau tuh! MUeheheee...

Sempat singgah at this bridal house. Hydee Design. Hmm.. sewa baju 2.5K.. Dia calculate2 for the whole wedding, everything included, rm30K ono. Tgk cam mahal.. tp senang sbb takyah buat apa2.. they'll do all the work. Tp tu la.. rm 30K... kalau buat downpayment kereta pun bagus.

Galak cerita preparation, bila wedding ni sebenarnya?? Hehe.. nantila, bila date dah confirm, baru boleh diwar-warkan. :) Prepare je la $$ nak buat wedding present ek. Wahahahaaa... =D

P/S: Tima kaseh kat abg ezad SSF yg sudi mengajau cane nak wat bunga pahar tu. Cantik sangat!!!! (cantik la kat mata saye).

Family Dinner
Wednesday malam, we all went out for dinner.. mama, Dan, aunty, uncle and myself. Went to Cozy Corner, Great Eastern Mall. I think it turned out fine, walaupun mama cam nervous2 gak at first masa belum pergi. So, makan2 and the mothers discussed and i think they've discussed what they were set out to discuss.. which makes ud (me n Dan) veru happy! :D Ooh.. tp Dan wasnt that happy la.. he still think that Bali is a much better idea. Hahaa.. sian dia..

Tuh aaa, more or less what i did during my break. Bertambah pening pun ada. Oh... btw, found a perfect wedding ring for Dan kat KLCC masa seblom blk hari tu. Nice, classic looking platinum ring. Tak amek white gold sbb tak confident whether Dan boleh ke tak pakai white gold.

Kepada sesapa yg belum tau, white gold tu ialah the yellow gold, plated with rhodium or palladium. Jd dia ada komponen emas la kat situ.. Berbeza dengan platinum, it comes in its pure form. Jd, sbb emas putih tu ada komponen emas, rasa tak yakin la lelaki bley pakai. (Sesapa yg tak tau abt this, ingat2 la masa nak beli cincin utk bakal suami.) Jgn sbb nak murah, main belasah je cincin apa aje. Platinum ni mmg mahal sikit.. kalau nak murah, carik cincin suasa. Org lelaki mmg biasa pakai cincin jenis ni. Lagi satu menda, yg org selalu overlook (yg aku baru tau jugak), ttg kain campuran sutera. Masa kitorg carik kain haritu, ramai vendors cakap lelaki boleh pakai campuran silk ni. Kitorg pun minat gak kat campuran silk mcm kain satin-silk sbb dia tak kilat sgt cam satin.. tp bila aunty check blk ngan ustaz, dia kata lelaki tak boleh langsung2 pakai sutera... sikit sutera pun takleh. So, utk langkah keselamatan, jgn la beli kain utk bakal husband yg dibuat dr campuran sutera.. beli la kain lain.. cotton ke, satin ke, kalau nak mahal sket, boley beli linen ke, crepe ke. :) Ok? Hope ppl will benefit from this little info.

~~S T R E T C H ! !~~
Holaaa!! Long break huh? :) Had to be done la. Dok campus serabut, blk umah pun agak serabut. Don't really have time to put in everything at the moment. Just had to say this though : I'm logged in at Projet Destina via TM Hot Spot! :D Not my notebook though... Dan punya.. He'd just replaced his old door stopper. Hehe.. *winks*.

It had been a tiring week for me here. Found our perfect "love nest", went for discussion dinner between my mom n dan's parents, went looking for bridal thingies with mom (which made my head aches like hell), got some quotations for some baju to sewa for the kawen2 thing (the minimum cost for sewa baju i got so far was 1.6K.. keciwa sungguh!) Tomorrow.. might be going to uwan's place to tell her about the whole thing. Hectic sungguh!!

Nways, i'll be back on monday.. and you can expect more postings from me.. InsyaAllah la, kalau ada mood kan.

Til then, take care people! I miss you guys.. azeno, cikD, nurul, kakDilla, tini, nura, akak2, azanie... :)

Nity-nite!
