The Road We Take

Ni bahana terlalu syok tengok blog B2B.. Hehe.. Seronok tengok diorng banyak buat DIY untuk barang- barang perkahwinan. Kalau kreatif and bnyak masa, a bride tu can do almost everything on their own. Sangat hebat kan? Yelah, sebab sume perempuan mengimpikan hari bahagia yang sempurna + save budget. Hehe.. including me.

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 *_*

Fuh, dah cuak sebab hampir- hampir lupa email address nak sign in here tadi. hehe. itu la, i am juggling with so many email addresses/usernames and various passwords - okay, it's included in job purposes. =P

it's so thrilling to read entries from B2Bs out there. okay, for those who still don't know what B2B means, it stands for Bride-To-Be. hey, they even came out with cute logos. i will put one of those in this blog later. inshaallah..

okay, sambung cerite, ape yang thrilling sangat tu?

reading how they went /go through the path to get their heavenly ever after. wow, susah rupanya nak kahwin ni ek? hehe.. banyak sangat preparation yang kena buat. ada yang suka tempah/beli everything from kedai/bridal tapi not less yang suka DIY.. well, i go for the first one, but when i read this blog (well, she's my college mate but, i never talked to her as far as i could remember), i kinda like the idea of Do-It-Yourself. hehe. i'm no creative person but a determined one. i think i would love to DIY few things. hehe, but it will be planned later since i'm thinking of having few extra jobs to earn some cash to marry my man =P Have to plan my free time too . huh, dunia sekarang semua mau pakai wang kan? even masuk toilet pun. huh, if you don't have a penny, think of peeing in the nearest bush (okeh, termengarut pulak =P) 

photo's taken here

we are in tight budget (as we're not planning to get personal loan for wedding purposes). yeah, both are teachers, we don't expect lavish type of wedding. plus, we always go for the simple ones. i don't demand much (since i'm not a high taste person) and he is so too. 

right now, we are waiting for our parents to finalize the date of our engagement. i hope it is earlier but what has been agreed, it will be in November or later. It won't happen before November.. huhuhu sedih.. (xsabar nak bertunang dah sebab almost every month ade orang tanya "boleh tak nak masuk meminang awak? perggh, ketaq lutut weh). At least when i'm betrothed to this man, there's no more room for other men to berkenal-kenalan. oh, saat ini juga aku mohon, NOVEMBER, PLEASE COME FAST!!

okey, back to cerita thrilling (see, i memang suka go around the bush nih!) tadi, i realize yang rezeki akan sangat murah bila kita nak mendirikan rumah tangga. hadis pun ada say so. this friend of mine even dapat free pre/post wedding photoshoot after winning a contest. excited kan? now i feel like indulging myself with those contests who knows, if Allah grants, we win the contest kan? hehe.. can't wait to scout and eye any personal blogs/websites who make contests and give giveaways.. 

*wink* 

so, sesiapa yang tahu, recommend la kitorang any contest we can join ek? pleaseeeee *puppy eyes* 

ok, gotta bounce. have to get ready for school tomorrow. hah, it's been long after 2 weeks. i don't feel like meeting those cheeky creatures. but, amanah is amanah. gonna press happy button tomorrow! hope monday will be wonderful. to you too, readers... (^_^) 

Yours truly,

Miss Izzy
