A Homemaker’s Diary

Remember the bunga dip lily which I have been complaining about. At last I managed to complete 60 of them to be put at the bedside of the bilik pengantin.

At first we planned to cucuk the bunga pahar at the usual silver stand, but since the one sold in the market now is too light (can’t withstand the weight of the bunga pahar plus the boiled egg), I recommended the plastic stand used for artificial floral arrangement.

Plus, with the height of the plastic stand, the bunga pahar look more prominent and easier for those involved to pick them out and give to the guests.

Finally all my hard work for the past few months have been paid off. The wedding went well, not perfect but almost..heh!

This is one of the many pictures I managed to snap before the akad nikah and reception.

I will update more later, but for now I need to rush to Jusco to get groceries..I am out of supply in the fridge to cook decent dinner..huhu!

It’s the week, where all the craze will end..now I really think that the organizing and planning for a wedding part is much more tiring than being the bride herself. So if your wedding planner charges you like a lot don’t bother to complain.

Anyway, I wouldn’t want to leave all my friends out there wondering about the previous unhappy entry. Well, they said friends are family that you choose for yourself, so when it’s the real family who hurl the hurtful words, it’s even harder to accept. Enough said, I am stronger to face all that now. Friends who YM, I will tell the detail later after I get back, ok…

And of course I will update the wedding pictures later…mesti la nak tunjuk hasil penat lelah keje tangan ku yg berbulan2 ni..in the mean time, I am looking for a black stick album to make into a kind of storyboard for the bride. Found one in SnazzynSuch blog but it’s already sold out..huhu..NVM, that will be my next project..first, I need to clean up all the mess in the living hall after coming back from the wedding..

Now, I still have the last 11 batang bunga dip lili to complete..like Hubby said, lambat giler nak siapkan satu2 bunga..huhu..nak buat kelopak bertulang lagi, celup dip lagi, tabur glitter lagi..cantum je yg cepat..I guess the turqoise wedding dress must be beaded in the hotel..terpaksa la, tak sempat nak siapkan kat rumah..separuh baju and kain tak de labuci n manik..kelakar plak nanti pengantin pakai kebaya sebelah je bermanik..hehe!

See you all next week..I won’t be online..mcm la hotel UITM tu ada wi-fi pon..huhu!

Lately I feel like a celebrity..haha..but one celebrity with hampeh fan(s)..not that I get flowers and chocolate but more to being stalked by sickening comments on my blog(s) and pathetic emails..whatever dude..I don’t care what you out there think about me, stop preaching about the sanctity of family values, all the goody two shoes rubbish of being a good child, being thankful to parents bla bla…

Just because you hear stories from one side doesn’t validate the facts, or when I ignore all your pathetic attempts to keep in touch via email, sms, call..you think you know me well enough to give out nasihat and ceramah basi. I pay my phone bills so I have the right to dodge any call that I don’t feel like entertaining, even on my business phone. Same goes to my domain and blog – I pay for the domain so I can delete your comment or email with just one click just as I brush you off from my life – relatives, family members or whatnot.

I rather die on the street than to crawl back to the so called family..if that is what you want to happen to me. Why can’t people just do their own business and stop bitching around when I am doing perfectly fine with my life. Just because I don’t do things like you and the rest of your clan do, it doesn’t mean that I am the bad, anak derhaka whatever terms you think suit me.

If you are in my situation, you will know how I feel. But you are not, so stop thinking that you know, and keep it to yourself whatever you think you want to comment after you read this, (if you read this) because I don’t give a damn.

I think I felt the baby moved when I tried to sleep last night..hehe..I know the baby has been moving actively but I still could not feel it until last night..like one big gushh..and then silence. Hubby was fast asleep by then so I could not share the excitement, plus since the baby has not been moving frequent enough, I thought I will just wait for another few weeks before I let Hubby feel it..heh!

Actually we have Friday’s appointment for 20 weeks check up with the doctor, but I think I will go once the wedding is over. After all we just had the detailed scan last 2 weeks.

Emm..Niece’s nikah dress has been beaded, now the kain pulak..then the whole reception set. I am still doing the kelopak lily for bunga dip..bencinya la buat kelopak2 dawai tu..eiii…I hope I would be able to sew beads on the baju kurung I plan to wear during the event. Otherwise since I will be wearing the same baju for Hari Raya, I will sew the beads later. Hopefully the kain baju kurung will still fit by early September..kalau tak muat, pakai baju aje, kain tak payah..hahahah!

Dinner tonight, I think I will cook asam pedas rebus, goreng ikan jenahak (lagi?) and not sure whether to fry the vege or not..dah bosan makan sayur yang sama..feel like makan ulam, tapi ulam apa pon yg ada..Hubby has another meeting/project discussion tonight, so that will make 3 in a row this week. What to do, US based company, kita malam dorang siang..tak pe nanti August boleh amik one week leave, lepak2 kat rumah..hehe! By that time I won’t be having any commitment so boleh la ronggeng2 kan..yeay!

I think that’s it for today, remind me to water the new pandan plants tonight before CSI. I have a lot of tender loving care to do to my plants after this August event, kesian pokok2 ku semua terbiar..huhu!
