19th Jan 2015 ~ StayCation at Studio M

Hey All,

And I am gonna start on my honeymoon topic!

Oh well the day after the wedding I am totally knock out. So tired and my eyes is red due to the prolong of wearing contact lens. So nothing much to say about the 18th Jan 15.

So on the 19th Jan 15. After our photoshoot, Mr husband informed me that he is making a call. So when he suddenly mention, "Hi, I will like to enquire if there's any room available". I was like did I hear the right thing, a surprise! Haha! He make a reservation at one of my stay cation dream hotel and was Lucky there's room available. Quite a good plan also since I am tired and I just need a bed rest. Before checking in we went to the nearest mama shop to pack some foodies.

With My baju photoshoot we both check in! Lucky there's baju extra he brought without me noticing. Look at my happy face!! 

The Reception. We check in at 6.00 PM heading to our Studio Loft which cost $230 comes with free parking. P.S Pls book directly thru their website for free parking as one entry cost $9!

Our level is level 5. Upon entering there's two toilet at the side. One is the "Poo" & "Peeing" Section. & the other place is the shower section which have all the necessary toiletries enuf for a day.

Basically these is how the entrance of the room look like. (Sources from website)

There's two queen size bed, one at 1st level and the other at 2nd level which good for family.

1st level

2nd level with a table.

The neccessity needs just under the stairs.

 The swimming pool which we just managed to just see and cant as we don't bring our swimming costume.

So basically on the 19th it is just a catchup time for us talking about wedding and plans for future ahead while cuddling, watching TV, indulge on food we bought. We are planning to go on a stay cation soon since we are unable to travel due to my husband new projects and always clash with my leave! 

I actually encourage couples who are staying with parents to have their couple times once in awhile like travelling or stay cation. It really build bonding between you and your husband. 

So far we enjoyed having our couple time and the hotel was definitely worth. Rate 4/5 for me. 

Ok got to go! See you on my next post regarding MALDIVES!!!

Wrapping up~

Hi All,

Today mark our 1st month being husband and wifey. Its quite fast and my updates about my wedding  had come to e end. Quite saddening but what to do. We have to leave talking abt wedding and concentrate to our next phase of life. So yeap just a few words to future BTB's before I close the chapter of wedding and move on to my honeymoon.

So ladies, yang baru nak kawin pls take note of these few important notes.

BUDGET
Sit down and discuss with your partner about hantaran, Catering, Outfits, Photography & videography, Berkats & other extra things you want to have for your wedding. Setting your OWN BUDGET is really important. DONT ever2 ikut2 orang. Jangan sampai membebankan diri sendiri tak makan tak shopping and all. Also think about your partners they lagi susah nk kene save double. Don't make it a point that you hutang after the wedding. Please don't mengharap from duit salam. There'll be a loss I tell you.

VENDORS
Do your research early before you booked any of your wedding vendors. Choose good and liable one. For myself I choose cheap package but came with quality and quantity. Once you booked your vendor I suggest that you trust them and at the same time followed up with them. A good vendor will chase you instead of you chasing them. Haha! Try not to be a bridezilla and keep calm during the preparations.

PARENTS
Include your parents in your preparations. Bring them to enquire about food coz food plays an important part and parents choose great foods. Keep them updated in each and every of your preparations. Some couple says that its their wedding and they are paying. Yes, you are paying but your parents blessing matters if not you'll see e trouble. Listens to their idea and advice if it is not a good one then let it go if it is then take it.

HONEYMOON
Discuss with your partner what kind of honeymoon that you both prefer. Budget wise. For me I rather choose a place to relax and a peaceful area after all those hectic and stressful preparations. Plan early if you are doing DIY honeymooning trip. Booked early air tickets. Prepare your itinerary early and what to bring list. After all that hectic wedding day, i tell you, you tend to forget things. Do bear in mind to do research before you fly off.

COMPROMISE & TEST
Lastly preparing a wedding is not easy and not always gerek. You must be mentally prepared that there will be all sort of test. Nak bina Masjid ni bukan senang, Setan mesti nak ganggu whenever people nak berhijrah to Halal relationships. Its natural for you to argue simple things with each other. You may argue about family, friends, orang kedua, mulut orang & etc. Be patience, orang2 yang bersabar akan dapat ganjarannya di belakang hari. When discussing about weddings do compromise with each other. Do give and take on choices and budgets. Help each other on making things easy. When you get things done with compromising you wouldn't have any stress at all. InShaaAllah.

Marriage is a wonderful sight. It make two person unite creating their own stories. It depend on each individual to make it a lovey dovey one or not. You will feel complete when you are with each other. I am new to marriage but I feel so happy that we are one now. We are those couple who only date during weekdays and only meet 2 hours before our wedding due to his work commitment. And after e wedding, although he still work shift I am happy that we beginning to enjoy going out at night. Went to Islamic class together, pray together, jalan2 with each other. Alhamdullilah maybe this is the happiness thereafter. Thank Allah for that and I know that its not easy to sail these ship but InShaaAllah with Allah guidance we will prevail.

For that with much sadness, I am wrapping up my wedding updates and move on to Honeymoon. InShaaAllah. Goodluck to all the future BTB's in your preparation. InShaaAllah things will go smoothly.

Nitesssss!!!

Alhamdullilah I was shock that he manage to lafas sekali jek. But my dad caught up a lil bit by saying "Muhammad Farid Binte Ramlan aku nikahkan kau", and everyone start laughing. Hehe.

 I have to said that the part suap menyuap my husband did a good job without dropping any rice on his palm. Where I drop most of it!!  

Its time for a change and proceed to the guy side. I was excited to change my outfit becoz my eyes start its nonsense already amd I cant wait for the ceremony to end. 

And yesh that the end, We missed doing this but if possible we just want to have a few baju so tk penat hahaha!

So far Alhamdullilah all went well and I appreciate all my family members who help and sponsored me certain things. My friends for being a great help. Yes, we are legally husband and wife now. This is just the beginning of a new chapter. Hoping that we both stay strong till Jannah. InShaaAllah. 

So on the 19th Jan 15. We went for outdoor photoshoot at Gardens by the Bay and Marina Barrage. It was quite a fast game coz I want to finish early and Abang Nazri need to do some errand for his father tahlil. Oh did I tell you that unfortunately Abg Nazri can't be on my wedding event coz his father passed away on my wedding day. Pity him. When he was with us on the photoshoot he look lost abit, me and farid understand and put ourself in his situation and not trying to make him difficult.

Hi All,

Monday 12th Jan 2015 & Tuesday 13th Jan 2015

Pre wedding sickness attacked the then Fiance and me. I had bad migraine and Then fiance was having flu on n off for that one week. I don't know why but is these stress that we going thru or what. Haha! I went back home bath and goes to sleep Knock down even I skipped my Solat! I hate it when I have bad Migraine. Eyes got blurred and head aching like madness. I got better the next day and continue finishing up packing my berkat as my berkat and candy corner came on the 10th of Jan. Bought my 1000 toblerone berkat for $950 from HERE. And the packaging my bought at Terengganu Mydin RM$39.50 fr 1000 pieces. Cheap or what? Manage to finished it early then expected.

Wednesday 14th Jan 2015

My last day of work before I am on leave from 15th Jan to 27th Jan. I manage to closed all my account and go back home on time and proceed to the Benefits Cosmetic at Sephora Tampines since it is near to my work place and a place where not much people making appointment. So set appointment at 6pm. Joanne was there and she is doing the waxing for me I only did brow waxing which cost me $24.
I think waxing the brow doesn't bear me much pain as threading. And yeah the reviews from people around regarding the waxing was good and it is good and my brow is almost symmetrical. I love it!

It is not thin and I simply love it. So I book another appointment on my husband birthday on the 3rd of Feb with Joanne. Yeay!

Thursday 15th January 2015

Booked an appointment with Citra Ayu Bridal & Spa at 1030 am for the following package.

I didnt manage to take a picture so I will just roughly describe what it is like.
1stly I was taken to the sauna room which is small for 10 mins. Then proceed to the massage room.
The massage was a relax massage which I don't find it satisfying coz I am use to deep tissue massage maybe for those who don't like deep tissue massage can consider Citra Ayu. Then the masseuse apply lulur and body mask on my body which make me shiver of coldness. Haha. After the lulur I was given a choice to change the hand therapy to ear candling and I was happy! Lastly I head to the Ratu Flower Bath. The bathtub was filled with Flowers. And I simply like the bath! The Masseuse told me it was for the aura pengantin. After all the process end at 1pm I was sleepy and wanted to go home straight when my caterer called me to head down to my wedding venue and advise certain issue, so called mum to teman me.

Once settled, mum asked me follow her for last minute groceries shopping which I'm on my cranky mode already coz I want to sleep. So mum kelam kabut finish up the shopping and go home. I managed to catch some sleep for 1 hour when I woke up and prepare for my Henna Night.

6 P.M : My Henna artist from Rubyz Henna came over. It was supposed to be Mye Henna do the Inai but then she cant make it on time so She replaced her with Ruby. Got to say Ruby was a bubbly girl and always have topic to entertain me and my 3 bridesmaid. She keep reminding me not to be clumsy. I like simple henna so yeah here is the look. (I didn't managed to capture my bridesmaid henna)

I didn't add on minyak kapak coz I hate the smell but I add on Eucalyptus oil from young living to make the stain darker. These stain taken on Friday at 1PM it grew darker on my wedding day itslf. Thanks to my bridesmaid Shinas fr patiently putting me the essential oil on both hands and feet. And my bridesmaid nisa for reminding me to seat properly and all. Hehe. I withstand until 2 Am where I cant tahan that I need to pee and I peel everything off! Haha.





8.30PM : Kak Aida from Sweetz Gubahan came by to put up my wedding bridal room deco. I was amazed by her talent. And the colour I want is all beyond my expectation. The room deco is simple but sedap mata memandang, Ramai orang puji I tell You!! She and her husband is a great person! (You may see the full picture on her facebook).

Friday 16th Jan 15

One day before the event, in the morning I woke up freshen up and get ready to iron my Baju kurung, family outfits for the day and the event and cleaned up the house. (See I am not treated as a princess by my mum she is like macam orang dulu2 pengantin still need to do abit of work). There's a few guest dropped by in e afternoon because they cant attend for the actual day itself. So I still need to entertained them and serve them water.

After Maghrib, I still don't felt the nervous yet. I am still relax with everything. I was left by mum with my colleague and friends at my home while waiting for Kak Aida to send my dulang. I got to say my bridesmaid, my 2 guyfriend and my bro really put their effort on my wedding. Syukur Alhamdullilah that I have them!!

So 10 PM : Kak Aida dropped by and send me my dulang after she sent my Then fiance dulang. I was really2 in love with it. Simple but nice. I squeak and hug her for the wonderful dulang!!! LOVE!!!

Alhamdullilah for knowing her! Syukur2!!! :) And I missed her already!! Thumbsup for her svs!! Highly recommend.

SO yeah I am sleepy now. Gonna head to bed. Will continue updating soon abt the day itself!! Good nites!!!
