Hellew hellewww...and Salam~~



1 month, 1 week and 1 day (as of tomorrow)... I'm nervous gillleeeerrrrrrrrrr!!!! Dear fiancé pun started practising "Aku terima nikahnya......" every now and then, whilst I kept on thinking and checking my planner whether I've done this and that sudah. So far, like I've said before ... everything is doing alright. Semua masani decision making saja ni.. which I'm very poor at but the gud news is~~ I have already found the look for my berbedak and sanding pelamin!!! Sama sajalh...just slightly different from pelamin Nikah. I'm trying to save $$ for something else *hee-hee* Something for dear fiancé (ssshhhh!!) .. hopefully I could get it *winks*

All the stress from work and at home.. timbul jerawat di muka ah... macam, aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ada jerawaaatttt!!!!! And my only antidote is coffee. Yes, I need my coffee. My stress reliever, seriously!!! I've been on my no coffee diet since the past few months (tpi kdg2 mnyampati jua membali Mochachino @ Cz *lol* I knoooowwww~~~~)... which reminds me, if any of yous belum lgi try the ice blended irish coffee from Matadoe, then you should! you must! it's a must!!! (for coffee lovers lh yea~) nyaman kli ah~ *gulps* sesiapun eh... *sigh* Will have one before my wedding nanti... kira..umm hadiah for me, myself and I~

Oh btw, distribution of invitation cards has commenced!!! *winks* Dearest Dad pun sudah ingul2, "for ur friends.. type and process tia awal2, then giv it to them..." (will do~ will do~)
Sambil2 duduk2 ceta sama Dad, we talked about the Man yang menurunkan Pengantin (groom). Apparently, bukan calang2 jua yg menurunkan pengantin ani~ Same like Penganguns, dorg ani protects the Groom from any outside 'interference' as you would call it.. krg mcm arh movie Labu Labi (semua org pengsan... Na'uzubillah~) Dad told me how dulu2, yg membawa the groom ani would be org beilmu karas, so strong sampai ayam melintas tempat laluan Pengantin pun bleh pengsan and mati selajur!! *Whaatt??*

Dad : "Asta... nda pecaya ni. Ada lgi pernah masa c ****** kawin dlu, dorg bearak kai rakit kn tu... nada payah pengayuh~~"

Me & Sis : "whoaaa.. cool!!!! Andang turun temurun kh.. or mesti org yg terpilih sja kna ajar tu?"

Dad : "Org2nya yg ada tokoh lh saja tu.... nanti betanya arh Angah mu, nda plg rajin betanya Babah ani, tpi it's good to share knowledge kn?"

Me & Sis : *smiles*

So like, di rumah yang menjaga tani the Penganguns (until the bride and groom disandingkan) while the groom double th plg tu... Pengangun jua, yg menurunkan (Penjaga) ani jua. In the olden days, sampai mematahkan (by stomping) buluh lgi tu before masuk ke rumah Pengantin Bini. I have yet to ask my Dad why before bersanding atu, pengantin kna suruh tiup a series threads and candle atu ah.... is it because it marks the end of our single life or apa? Anyone can tell me? Cos I never seen the rituals being donne before for both of my sisters... pardon me for being absentminded about this thing yeah~ Maybe I can ask my Pengangun (who is now confirmed to be my aunt, mum's 2nd cousin) about this.. then bleh lh tell you lots.. tapi lama jua lgi tu, so can you all please ask your penganguns (yg kan kawin soon ani) apa gunanya meniup lilin atu? And why the "Pusing Naga"?

My head ayong2 sudah...mata pun layu~ *yawns* think I should take my zZZzZzz now...
Until my nxt entry (hopefully end of this week)

B2B

talk abt preps~

Had this entry ready 2 nights ago but didn't get the chance to publish it.. nyeh, nyeh, nyeh~

I was having dinner with my parents when the story about my wedding preparation popped in. Mum was actually reminding the maid, to keep safe the daun 'pacar' yg her friend bought for her frm Mekah.. au, ytbh~ ready dh mummy ah hehehe... She said it's for my wedding nanti so I asked her, who'll be my Pengangun. She haven't actually decide who but for sure it's one of the relatives lh... *phew* Dlu my sisters bisai~ late wife my Angah sja, now she nada.. *sigh* (Al-Fatihah)

THEN I asked my parents, what exactly peranan 'pengangun' ani kan... why must there be a pengangun for pengantins? be it for men / women? Kata dorg, Pengangun ani time dlu2 for sure org yg 'berisi' / 'berilmu' that can actually prevent us pengantins from outside disturbance. Kan zaman dulu-dulu ani ada2 saja org kn mengacau, especially th klu yg berdendam2 ani..over the top tu ilmu mengacau ah~ SO yeah, pengangun ani kira penjaga KHAS for Pengantin lah... That explains why they're very strict sometimes... kuat th ilmunya tu!

Oh yes, why female? I also forgot to ask... my wild guess would be, bini2 saja yg hold that 'ilmu' no? Just a guess.. hehehe maybe you all can find that one out for me..

THEN mummy asked me about my bajus... hoodear, siap sudah / belum?? She's doing a follow-up ni..more like bertanya lh jua cos she doesn't know how exactly me buat my baju(s) *lol* yes, yes.. I didn't tell dearest mummy. such a meanie... but anyways, I did explain to her briefly on how my bajus will look like... ksian jua kn, tau lah mums...always wanting to know these things~

• nikah attire - lace but simple baju kurung
• berbedak - chiffon fashion moder, just plain at least bleh pakai lgi hehe
• bersanding - fully songket
  
• muleh 7 - lace (of which i bought on sale and was rather cheap inclusive with satin lining, and satin for the men as well...)

Cool eh? How I come up with the designs.. I basically read through lots and lots and lots of magazines, and surfed through the internet...

the collar design is suitable for baju berbedak with our traditional Brunei attire, although I think the hand shouldn't be THAT lebar..

this fashion is suitable for nikah and even sanding for reception OR ambil2an

I personally like this one.. simple saja and nice... should've made this design sja haritu and plaay with the accessories to make the nikah attire seems grand.. but *sigh* nevermind... kamu saja yg blum buat ah~

I like this blue dress as well, if the collar is cheong-sam like..bleh jdi my bju berbedak ni! *lol*

You all may look at these sites as well : Amy Bridal, Rinsuzanna Collection and Butik Man Kajang (arah gallery - wedding fashion) Laawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Cnfirm plg rambang mata meliat... I know I was~ *lol*

As for MEN, siuk bah dorang ani.. they can either go for Songket Baju Melayu or those one yg with outside coat atu. Main attraction would be HOW THE SINJANG kna ikat and HOW the DASTAR kna lipat, takes a lot of 'seni' / creativity for that.

I do noticed that there are varieties of designs being used by the Grooms..yth mesti padan dgn shape muka apa jua tu. Not forgetting the Keris, Brooches for the Dastar AND other accessories.. (my dear fiancé pun I adviced pasal certain lipatan Dastar designs.. unless padan dgn mukanya lh, we'll have to wait till our baju sanding fitting session nanti.. insya-Allah, end of June ;) )

I know my mum tau plang cana melipat dastar ani cos she's done it so many tymes with my cousins tpi nada gambar.. tau lah, zaman kiteorg kecil2 dlu~ But do have a look through to all the gmbr pengantin arh our photogs webbie.. macam2! Or if ada gmbr2 dlm Dirgahayu.. mcm2 tu Dastar our Cheterias and ofcourse, I like His Majesty's ones. Soooo... what's the word, REGAL!

Creative jua orang Melayu ani ah~ It's amazing how they can have such creativities atu bh... until nxt time dearies~
