The Road We Take

Assalamualaikum wbt and good day, readers!!!

How are you guys feeling today? hope your daily days are superb... (^_^)

Well, i'm writing in response to what Mr. AS has written below.

Yes, we are now betrothed. no need to mention i was still in shock (even after 6 days wearing the engagement ring) - i kept on feeling weird because i now have the ring on my finger. =P

To look at Mr AS as my fiance is also another thing. huhu.. mungkin before ni we are more like a friend rather than a couple who are in the relationship. Nonetheless, I am grateful and full - hearted redha with what has happened. I know Allah always has better plan for us. Yelah, I'm the one who don't want to engage. Izzy memang xprefer nak tunang pun. ingat nak terus kawen je. hehehe... atau pun, bertunang before akad nikah. and initially, we have discussed this matter for many times. but at last, we put it in the hand of Allah and our parents, so this is the result. WE ARE ENGAGED. Does it prove Allah's at work? yes, definitely. Only He knows.. but, honestly, it's surreal. i think i'm still dreaming knowing that this man is my fiance... hehehe..

so, that explains why i wore simple baju. tu pun nasib baik ade. kalu tak pakai baju cotton je. al-kisahnye, banyak sangat unexpected, funny things happened in preparing for the majlis. i think i'll put them in notes. saje je nak tulis so when my memory fails me later, i still have this blog to remind me how i went through my days. =) 

1. awalnya, ma izzy suruh beli kertas nak balut buah tangan (mula-mula buah tangan, tapi dah jadi hantaran la.. =P). ma just pesan to get ready few things for his family. yelah, orang datang jauh2 dengan niat baik, xkan nak layan cikai2 je kan... ma dah listkan suruh bagi canned lychee, homemade apam polka dot and suruh izzy fikir lagi nak bagi ape. so i just suggested fruits (walaupun mr AS xmakan. hehe). then, parents izzy memang plan nak bagi kain pelikat and kain sarung kat parents Mr AS. so, memang mencari pembalut hadiah lah.

2. mase shopping2 tu, terlintas nak buat tema warna silver and purple. seriously teringat mase tengok2 kertas pembalut hadiah tu. hehe. suke-suke nak bertema mase tu, kononnye nak impress family Mr AS lah, sekali, dia punya lagi grand.. huhuhuhu.. *termalu* =P

3. since we just thought of it was majlis merisik and perjumpaan family dengan family je, we decided to handle the lunch. so, kami sefamily lah yg masak hari tu. juadah lunch boleh tahan banyak gak la bagi izzy.. tapi ma still kate sikit. huhu. we served tomyam campur, ikan siakap 3 rasa, ayam percik kelate, kailan ikan masin, telur dadar, and puding karamel. bayangkan la kami 3 org chef (ma, my sister and I) buat benda2 tu dengan pertolongan my three brothers. hehe. memang macam tongkang pecah la dapur tu. dah la start masak lambat.. hehe.. kenangan btul la.. yang kelakar, adik lelaki ketiga, Lee kejenye potong ayam and siang sayur. and yang bongsu, Yo, buang mata nenas.. hahaha, dah la dua2 tu xpenah seumur hidup tolong kat dapur.. memang gelak je la.. but, i really thanked them for making my day. =)

4. apam polka dot tu siap mase family Mr. AS dah sampai. orang tengah bincang2 kat ruang tamu, Izzy kat dapur dok buat apam. hahahaha.. 

5. ini yang paling xlarat. I cut my finger. nervous punya pasal. so, kantoi jari berbalut mase sarung cincin. =P

have to stop abruptly and will continue later.. have something to do.. huhu

assalamualaikum warahmatullah...

apa khabar kepada semua pembaca?,moga anda semua sihat-sihat sejahter InsyaAllah :-)

belum terlambat untuk Mr AS ucapkan selamat hari raya kepada semua pembaca...raya tetap raya...kerja jangan dilupa..hehehe...masa untuk kembali ke sekolah..hehehe...

well, raya keempat hari tu, my family bersama family ibu saudara telah datang berjumpa dengan Miss Izzy family...cadangnye untuk buat majlis merisik...tapi dengan tak disangka-sangka bertukar menjadi majlis bertunang...so dua2 orang still in shock...hehehe...

tapi alhamdulillah dah lepas satu stage...insyaAllah stage seterusnya akan menyusul...hehehe

rasa kebertanggungjawaban pun dah mula masuk dlm diri nie...moga Allah mempermudahkan segala-galanya buat kami..aameen...

so pada masa tue kedua-dua keluarga telah berbincang dan alhamdulillah, kata sepakat telahpun dicapai...bila tarikhnya?nantikan...hehehe

sambil-sambil tue adela amek sket gambar-gambar yg patut...semua gambar ni dishoot oleh my little brother....

Assalamualaikum wbt readers,

tengah buat ape? mesti tengah baca blog ni kan? hehe.. dah agak dah.. =P

perghhh, rasa macam mimpi. gosok2 mata plak bile baca balik the post title for today.. hahaha... DIY sampul duit raya tu.. macam tak caya kan??? hahaha..

al-kisah nya, petang td after solat zohor, izzy kena rasuk. kena rasuk by hantu BOSAN and hantu RAJIN. so, bile dua2 hantu ni dah masuk serentak, terjadi lah post title di atas.. =P

 

lepas zohor tadi memang bosan tak tahu nak buat ape. lesson plan xyah buat sebab dah buat for monday, batrisya xde kat rumah sebab g jalan2 ngan umi and aunty ting ting ting dia, Mr AS plak xde kat rumah, g joli iftar ngan kawan-kawan dia kat PD. so, tinggal lah i terkontang kanting sendirian. alang- alang tu, i was thinking of mencatu duit-duit raya untuk tahun ni.. sekali bila dah syok kuarkan duit, i remember that i don't have enough red green packet to put the duit raya in. and at that moment, the hantu RAJIN came in. i selongkar ape bahan yang ade and detemine to do my very own Sampul Duit Raya.. hahahaha... that's the long story uncut short =P 

terjadi lah kisah men DIY sampul raya sendiri. tapi bukan yang special pun. design sama macam kat kedai je just that i made it with my two hands and two legs thus they are handmade.

jadi, pembalut hadiah menjadi mangsa.. haha, seb baik ade yang i rse compatible sangat nak jadikan sampul duit raya. maksudnye it's not written 'happy birthday', 'happy engagement day' or 'semoga kekal hingga ke anak cucu' =P

to start off, i sacrifice kan satu contoh sampul duit raya yang dah renyuk to get the template. and basically i just trace it to the wrapping paper. but of course la not one by one. i lipat2 kertas tu jadi tebal and cut them at once so at the same time, i g0t about 9 duplicated templates =) save time sangat.. 

 so, at one time, dapat 9 keping yang macam ni. so we just need to glue the sides together.

 jadi lah mcam ni.. sama sebijik sejebon dengan kedai. 

cume nye kat kedai confirm tak de yang tulis "season greetings' 

hehehe

 first batch (^_^)

 both batches 

jatuh hati ngan warna purple tu.. hehe..

 corak sama tapi layout corak yang berlainan..

yang memanjang tu nampak kurus kan? actually, they are the same size.

* ilusi sangat * =P

to add some spices, i stuck a smiley sticker at its opening 

^_^

the very end product

 comel la jugak pada i

*masuk bakul angkat sendiri mode*

hahaha

a box of stickers that i bought at Reject Shop, Brisbane, Australia.

errrr, 4 years ago

i know it's nothing for those who always DIY everything most of the things, but for a lazy bum, uncreative person like me, this is an achievement.. huwaaa, to the world, i'm a proud peacock.. hahaha

well, it's economical too. the wrapping papers cost me rm1.00 for two pieces (i already used the wrappers to wrap presents back then - so they are not even the whole 2 pieces of wrappers). and from them, i produced about 36 pieces of small- sized green packets, in just about an hour or less =D. so take your calculator to know the exact amount i have saved. hehehehe.. 

for me, i've saved as priceless as my life with it, sebab kalu nak g beli, kena drive about 10 km to and fro, terdedah kepada accident (duh), petrol lagi. bile g kedai, macam pelik je bila masuk2 just amik sampul duit raya (nak bayar pun sogan), nak2 mau gak sambar air kotak laici jenama drinho ke, ayam goreng crispy ayamas ke (nak menunjukkan bahawasa nya sy mendapat bonus hari raya - haha, riak!! xbaik tuh.. insaf2..) huh, dah berapa abis di situ.. banyak-banyak...

so, enough blabbering. that's all for today..

selamat beribadah - ramadhan tinggal beberapa hari saja lagi... huhuhuhuho mood sedih ngan tibe2.

gonna use this opportunity to the fullest. hope readers too.  toodles..

 

Orang kena rasuk, 

Miss Izzy *_*

Assalamualaikum and good day, readers!!

hahaha, sepatutnye izzy kena buat lesson plans for tomorrow, tapi macam malas plak (errr, bukan malas, kurang rajin lagi + xde idea nak ngaja ape =P huh, alasan!!!!)

malam ni nak membebel pasal baju akad nikah.. haha, ampun kan kami yang over-excited ni, tarikh nye tak tau bile, tapi sibuk nak mencari baju dah kan?? haha. sape la yang tak excited nak kawen kan? it's a way to complete half of your eemaan. good thing, of course we want!!

well, to be honest, kitaorang izzy memang dah start cari2 baju untuk akad nikah. tapi banyak sangat change of plan. mula-mula nak tempah then decorate sendiri, pastu bile usha2 baju online, mcam cun, xjadi plak. pastu conflict warna. mula-mula nak kelabu, pastu tukar jadi putih, pastu krim plak..  then keputusan akhirnya, we want the combination of white and cream. yes, we go for pastel colours instead of the bright ones. sebabnya, it has been in my dream sejak dulu lagi to wear white for my akad. ntah la.. i'm so into white.. sebab putih tu suci (lagipun, Rasulullah pun suke putih =) ) kalau boleh, sume persalinan nak amik putih. hahaha.. =P tapi mcam over plak kan? 

so, i have surveyed a few (eh, ye ke a few?? A LOT la!!) of online boutiques, real boutiques for the design that i want. so far there are many that captured my eyes but they are not strong enough for me to look at one glance and say "that's it. i want it". semuanya macam, tengok sekali cantik, and at the second thought, it doesn't look nice. hehehe, i'm so cerewet (i guess, another b2b pun cerewet gak kan?? hehe)

but when i set my eyes at this one... i fell in love with it.. and i say, "that's it". it's from Butik Farree

simple, right?

 

yes, i know it's simple. but, that's what i go for.. sangat2 suke this dress and the price is also reasonable. not more than RM200 pun. plus, i can wear it after the akad. boleh pakai nak g skolah ke.. hahaha. tapi, sedihnya, baju ni tak berjodoh ngan izzy. SOLD OUT.. huhu. sedih la jugak, sampai mesej kat Mr. AS and cakap nak nangis sebab baju ni dah sold out.. yelah, dok usha2 dah berminggu-minggu and this is the only one that i truly like, so far.. memang sedih la.. Mr AS kata la, try cari yang lain. dah tak de perasaan sangat sebab nampak yang lain sume xsesuai and tak berkenan.. 

 

nak tak nak, i have to wait and keep on searching la nampak nye. =( ingat nak beli masa puasa ni sebab banyak butik yang buat sale/promosi raya.. tapi mungkin bukan rezeki. hopefully, lepas ni ada la yang capture my eyes lagi..aameen.. ala, lagipun, ade hikmah jugak kan? kalau beli sekarang, nanti kalu makin kurus (aameen =P) or makin gemuk (nauzubillah, semoga dijauhkan!!), dah tak cantik la kalau pakai. in worse case, i may have to buy the new one. who knows kan??? yes, Allah knows the best.. redha2.. hehehe

 

tapi kalau tak jumpa jugak design yang i suka macam i like this dress, the final decision is, we are going to send to someone to tailor it. the same design but may be with a little bit of personal touch on it to add the value. inshaallah. but, the design itself now, satisfies me. (^_^)

readers, please pray for us. we pray for your smooth sailing and do pray the same for us..

got to go now.. the 3 lesson plans are calling me (sounds eerie, isn't it? =P)

till then, 

have a good ramadhan..

Love,

Miss Izzy =)

assalamualaikum...

semoga para pembaca sihat dan sejahtera selalu...

apa khabar semua?

moga Ramadhan anda lebih bermakna kali ini :-)

dah hampir setengah Ramadhan berlalu...

lagu-lagu raya sudah mula berkumandang di corong-corong radio...

kebanyakan orang dah mula buat persiapan raya...

baju raya, duit raya, biskut raya...

tapi mari kita fikir sejenak kembali dan muhasabah diri...

bagaimanakah Ramadhan kita?

adakah Ramadhan kita sempurna untuk kita sambut kemenangan di bulan Syawal nanti?

bagaimana pembacaan Quran kita?

sudah sampai juzuk mana?

kalau yang masih belum sampai juzuk 15 tue tanam azam untuk habiskan sebelum Ramadahn berakhir...

kita juga semakin menghampiri 10 Ramadhan yang terakhir...

malam-malam yang sangat digalakkan untuk kita beriktikaf dan bermunajat pada Allah...

waktu yang sesuai untuk kita gandakan pahala ibadat kita...dan juga misi mencari malam Lailatul Qadar...

so boleh set masa dari sekarang untuk kita bangun berqiamulail dan beriktikaf spertiga malam di malam-malam 10 yang akhir ini...

moga anda semua akan digandakan pahala ibadah insyaallah...

mode : berdebar tunggu raya...huhuhu

regards : 

Mr. AS 

^_^

Time flies truly fast, right? it's already in half month of Ramadhan. Subhanallah... So, how's your second phase of Ramadhan going? make sure you are still in a very high energy to accelerate towards 10 final nights k? jom cari lailatul qadar. may Allah grant us and the readers rewards for our good deeds as well as the rewards for malam lailatul qadar which worth a thousand months (sape xnak kan, kalau bagi 10 sen dapat rm1000, ibaratnye) =P. 

well, i love Ramadhan. err, i mean the month. not someone with the name Ramadhan =P . because i feel different. it's easier to do ibadah during the month. don't you think so? nak bangan pukul 4 pagi senang, nak solat extra 11 rakaat senang, nak bagi sedekah senang. cube kalau bulan2 biasa, nak bangun pukul 4? huh, dream on, nak bangun pukul 6.30 am nak mandi g kerja pun rase sangat berat, sebab graviti yang paling kuat kat bumi ni ialah di katil (the jokers say so la kan!) =P apatah lagi nak solat extra 11 rakaat. hahaha.

oh, that's why i really love Ramadhan. like, really2 fall in love with it. so, in conclusion, kan best kalu xyah ada syawal. hahahaha.. sebab during syawal, duit habis banyakkkkkk... aaaaaaaaaaa kena bagi duit raya nooooooooo, nak kena beli biskut raya, huwaaaaaaaaaaaa, nak kena bakar satay, malassssssss, tapi makan, nakkkkkkkk, kena jadi gemuk, xmauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..

so, i really hope, bulan depan is also Ramadhan. hehe.. (but, mati hidup balik pun, Ramadhan will not be in two months straight)

 Orait, let me put the full stop here. tak larat dah nak mengarut dah. sorry for wasting your time reading =P

toodles!!!!

p/s: padahal nye, orang yang tengah tulis ni tengah kecut perut sebab bulan syawal ni ade orang nak datang risik dia... al-kisahnyeee... =P

yours truly,

Miss Izzy
