This is one example of my perfect dream wedding:
1. Less people (as in less than 50 :p). Surrounded by only close family and friends. I really mean by real close. Limit to only 1st cousin. Hee.
U can easily guess how many people were invited to this wedding reception by the number of chairs :)
2. Simple wedding attire and makeup.
This is the pair of shoes worn by the bride. Simple, nice and comfy. No need to spend thousand on Jimmy Choo. Budget saved :p (Ballet flats is on my list)
3. Simple gathering. Can spend on making a luxurious dream reception to reality.
See. I can save a lot more with less people and spend the extra budget for an exclusive simple reception that benefits me more. Why do u need thousand of people anyway? Less is always more :)
Hopefully my future in-laws are sporting enuf and not too traditional sampai nak kenduri 7 hari 7 malam *finger cross* Bajet penting okay. To me, if nak belanja on wedding, i prefer most of the benefit goes to me, husband and family. Walaupun kawen skali seumur hidup, jangan berpegang sangat pada prinsip 'bukan selalu'. Kang merana seumur hidup. Kalo kaya takpe gak.
Eh, i sounded more like a wedding planner oh :p I should consider getting a job in this field.

Assalammualaikum. Haluu! I think i wanna start writing about weddings. My perfect dream wedding. On how i wish it to turn out one day. Even if not the whole plan works, at least some of it would (i hope) :) From the tiny winy small details to the bigger ones. Oh no, don't get me wrong. I'm not in any plans of getting married in the near future. Am just a typical lady who has her future plans :)
I must say, December is the perfect month to celebrate love. There's wedding reception going on every single weekend and i kinda get myself a lil bit into all this wedding thingy. And that's why i'm so excited to plan my very own wedding. Before i get started, u'll realize throughout ur 'tour' on reading my reality-fantasy plans, i take small details into account because every single detail involves $$$. Get what i mean? What i'm trying to say is as some of u might not know, i'm an account diploma holder and a soon-to-be finance degree holder (Insyaallah. Amin 100 kali!) so daaa, every sen is very valuable and i'm very, reaaally, truthfully serious about budget. Maka beta nak berjimat sebanyak mungkin even if it's only 10sen. Mind u, that harmless 10sen can turn out to be a deadly 1k so u wanna watch ur budget carefully. Bak kata my account lecturer, "Accountants are very stingy". Kurang je satu sen can make the the whole balance sheet turns topsy-turvy. So haruslah i jadi Bridezilla when it comes to budget. kihkih.
Voice: Amboi statement.. bile keluar shopping buat2 lupe lak ape definisi bajet kan. Me: Ahh diam!
Ok lets start with the 'No-No' list:
Fake eyelashes. This is the tiny winy no-no details. I'm no fan of those and I don't need them to have that so-called barbie-perfect look.
Huge bun for my hair. Na'ah. So not gonna have that camel hump stick outta my head. We're no Jewish yaw.
Thick makeup. Don't wanna look plastic. Who says less makeup won't make u look good in pitcha? Ur makeup artist? Screw them!
Berlulut. Blerghhh~ Tanak. Bazir duit je sewa all the bajus.
Tanak pelamin time reception boleh? heheh, Membazirrrrrrrrrr~ Time akad boleh la dipertimbangkan. Simple dah la :)
These are the things that i hope i could avoid:
Bersanding. As in duduk atas pelamin just for that whole 5 sec. I don't mind the reception anyway. Just the bersanding thingy. For wedding reception lak, i have my own secretive idea. Hiks.
Hantaran sampai nak 20. 2,3 je blh tak? it's just a tradition yg membazir duit, not even an obligation in Islam so who cares?? Harap2 le bakal mertua setuju part nih. huhu. Kalo diorang nak sangat, diorang la bagi aku 20, aku bls 2,3 je :p Tapiii kalau ada extra duit tu apa salah gak nak bagi lebih kan. kesimpulannya bagi ikut kemampuan ar.
Adat bergendang. This one boleh avoid kot.
Minimize cost on:
Invitation card: Sesimple yang boleh. Design sendiri je la. Tanak wat mahal2. Org taruk tepi buat debu gak at the end of the day.
Doorgift: Buat sendiri kalo larat. Kenkonon la larattt.
Hantaran: Kalau boleh nak hias sendiri dengan kreatifnya (konon la kreatif :p). Tapi kalo xde pon xpe. Nanti dah kawin la claim dari suami mintak blanja itu ini :p Pulok dah.
Majlis persandingan: Takyah lew belah laki belah pompuan. Satu belah je cukoplah. Eh, ni pon tanak buat boleh tak? Huhu. Ganti ngan doa selamat je.
Extra spending on:
Cake: Yang ni mcm nak labur lebih je. hihihihihihihihihi (panjang aku gelak). Nak 5 tingkat! Over kau nyah!Tadi cakap nak bajet!! Mentang2 la ko suke kek2 ni kan. haha gurau je sisturrr.
Photography and videography: As a photographer myself, i will invest more on this because the moment only happen once and it's no Astro boleh ulang2. Female photographer will be a priority unless i could's find one.
So my dear future in-laws (sesape la korang yang bertuah tu kan. kihkih), boleh eh? hee *batting eyelash* Nasib korang la dapat menantu macam ni :p
I guess that's all for now. Too sleepy da. To be continue. Goodnite lovelies! Assalammualaikum. Weee~

Last Saturday evening (24 December) i received a shocking message from an anonymous saying that my former DIA (Diploma in Accountancy) coursemate, Hadinor Zafan bin Jasman died in a tragic accident that morning. I gasp and was so shocked to even say out a word. I cupped my mouth for how long only God knows. Ya Allah!! How could it happen to him? The question keep playing in my mind the whole day until the next day on Xmas, my question was answered. It was all in the news.
The burnt Honda and Proton drove by Hadinor
"KUALA LIPIS: A final year student from Universiti Teknologi Mara and a 10-month-old baby died when the cars they were travelling in crashed and exploded in an accident at KM23 Jalan Lipis-Benta, Sunday.
Lipis police chief Supt Abdul Razak Hassan said the student, Hadino Zafan Jasman, 23, was headed towards Kuala Lumpur from Kota Baru in his Proton Saga when the tragedy occurred at 5am.
The victim was believed to have lost control of his vehicle, which skidded and crossed over to the oncoming lane, he said.
"The car spun out of control several times before crashing into the back of a Honda with a family travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Baru," he said here Sunday.
Abdul Razak said Hadino Zafan died on the spot due to 90% burns on his body, after his car burst into flames and exploded.
The driver of the Honda, identified only as Mohd Zin, in his 50s, managed to rescue his wife Hamidah Kasur, 51, and two grandsons Mohd Fahmi Dannial, four, and Mohd Farhan Darwiz, 10 months, from the car, said Abdul Razak.
"Immediately after they were out of the car, it caught fire," he said.
However, Farhan Darwiz died on the spot due to severe head injuries, he added. - Bernama"
Throughout my life of knowing him, he is a good friend (although i barely talk to him since he doesn't really talk much to girls except for important stuff of course) and a pious Muslim. He would always lowered his gaze or look elsewhere whenever he's having a conversation with a female (respect lah). He's very humble and quiet but u can always catch a glimpse of him smiling. Hadinor (we called him Haziq sometimes. Maybe because of Haziq AF tu kot. hee) murah sangat dengan senyuman. It was really sad to hear the news.
Another story that i've heard is that his parents were waiting for him at home. I guess he's on his way back home for the study leave for his final semester in the accounting field. Who'd have guess this tragic incident would happen? :'(
"Dari Allah kita datang, kepada-Nya kita kembali"
May Allah bless his soul, forgive him his sins, make his grave a garden, grant him the highest levels of paradise and give patience to his family. Inna lillahi wa inna lillahi rajiun. Amin.
Kadang2 Allah pertemukan kita dengan orang yang salah sebelum kita bertemu dengan orang yang betul. Dia berikan kita yang terbaik untuk menjadikan kita antara hamba yang terbaik :)

I've always wanted to set foot to London, France and Swiss. Europe is the 1st country in my list of must-travel. All this while i grew up listening to mum's past experience of living in London and studying at Portsmouth Uni. London is one of the most beautiful metropolises. Mum always say she loves the city of Britain, the only country (maybe) with less trafic and strict speed limit, the four season weather and the friendly neighbourhood she lives in. And she would then google mapped all the places she'd been. It was in 2009 when she gets the opportunity to fly again to London for a business trip for a month. I can see how thrilled she was the pass few weeks before her departure. She had the chance to see aunt Tracey again, her good friend from Portsmouth Uni who lives in London.
London
I'm still all confuse. Mum and cousin bee told me this is not London Bridge. But when i googled 'london bridge' most of the photos came out showing this bridge. They say that London Bridge is just an ordinary, old bridge. Oh well, i'm done with the bridge here.
Uuu.. That's Big Ben! (The clock tower)
And then just this year Cousin Bee gets her chance to go back-packing around Europe with her friends. Mum didn't allow me to go though. Tsk tsk.. They started their journey from Paris and i'm not really sure where they ended. Cousin Bee said out of all the places she went to, she loves Switzerland the most. She can even live there her whole life. The scenery is wayy more beautiful than France.
Paris
Arc De Triomphe
Musee Du Louvre
And then again, just last 2 weeks i watched Monte Carlo. Selena went to paris! I love to watch the view at night. Eiffel Tower shone so beautifully with the bulbs changing colours and patterns. Imagine waking up every morning with the window facing the famous tower and get to lie down on the soft grass just next to the tower itself, eating cupcakes and drinking lemonade in the summer or spring and go crazy at Paris Disneyland. Or having a chance to walk pass Knightsbridge and the famous Big Ben, skipping along Baker Street and knocking on Sherlock's door, go on London's Eye and have a tour around the Louvre, grab a bus of shuttle to Oxford Street and sight-seeing around Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly.

This is my first personal vid uploaded here in my blog. Am playing the song River Flows in You by Yiruma (which was supposed to be Bella's Lullaby in Twilight but somehowwww.. google sendiri la. malas nak citer). It's not at all perfect tho since i'm not a professional pianist. hehe. (Tu la ka, orang suh sambung kelas pinano, ko obses sangat dengan ballet) it might sound a bit different, wayyyy out of tempo because i get butterflies each time i played the piano in front of people (lets just say that i have this incurable disease of having butterflies for even recording this!! Well, the thought that people will be watching it and that's when my finger started to get all trembling and clumsy) and not as perfect as Yiruma (obviously!) but i hope u guys will enjoy it. Happy listening ^_^
P/s: My finger technique is sooooo wrong! It should be in perfect curve when i press the keys. Plus it sounded as if i played both hand allegro :p Left hand was supposed to be pianissimo. Mdm. Brenda sure gonna cry if she sees this. Hancusss :p dah le tengah2 main bleh plak pause for 1, 2 sec :p Anyway, just ignore the sound of the annoying background. Can't do anything much about it. Sigh.
