This post goes out specially to my buddies, Haslina, Maherah and Nashitah, who came to help with decorating the hantarans on Saturday.

Thank you so much dearies! I couldn't have done it without you! :)

Here are some of the peek-tures we took (or rather, Nash took) during the activity!

Me and Yani, my flowergirl for the event.

The bride-to-be at work, supervised by the flowergirl (and somehow, at a glance, I look like I'm signing papers!)

After a hard time working, we make it an effort to practice the art of Camwhoring!

My bed set arrived today!! Yeyness! Did some cleaning up this morning and I've never felt my room so bare. The only things left are 2 wardrobes, 2 book shelves and a small shelf with 4 drawers.

The furniture people came around 2.45pm. The assembled my new cupboard, bed and dressing table. The side table is still in the box because there is no space to put in everything.

Now, I'm sneezing non-stop. I think it's all the dust flying around. *aaa-cchhhoooo* Oh my, I hope the runny nose disappears by end of this week. You can't afford to see a bride sneezing and sneezing on the dais right?

Another matter is I've got my kompang! We went to the person's house last Tuesday to book the package. I thought it would be very expensive after watching the video (and it is actually very expensive) but I guess he knows my situation right now and I got a very good price for all the things that he offered. Thanks Khaizan! But I won't be disclosing the package here because I promised him I won't tell anyone the price for the package I got. If you want to see it for yourself, come to my wedding then! :)

Tomorrow, Nashitah will be coming over to my aunt's place to help me with the hantarans. I haven't actually started on anything but I have a rough idea of what I want to do. But first, got to hunt for some ribbons. Hmmmm..

And this Wednesday, I'm doing a pampering session for myself. Maybe get a pedicure? Hehe. And I'm getting my henna done too! Anyone interested? The person charges $5 per hand only (well, if only the charges are the same for the bride!). Tag me if you're interested and I'll try asking the person ok?

I guess that's all for now. I got to get some rest before I get sick. One week one day and counting down!

Solemnization outfit is finally ready!! Tunang and me collected the outfit some time last Thursday at Balestier Complex, where the tailot shop was. We tried on our outfits and mine was a little big so the tailor amended it on the spot. Paid the $400 balance (ka-ching!) and left.

On Monday, had the last fitting session for our other outfits. I went to Al-Falah first to meet Kak Mas cos I wanted to borrow her sister's tiara. It was gorgeous! But I'm not too sure if it'll fit. Haahaa. Found out that all the Al-Falah crew couldn't make it to my wedding cos they're having a trip to Malaysia for an Ustaz's wedding.

Anyway, after that, headed to the studio at Eunos Crescent. We brought our solemnization outfits along cos Kak Zana wanted to match my makeup with the colour of the outfit. Tried on my songket tabur, which I will be wearing for my sanding and also the Jawa costume, which I will be wearing on Friday night. Then, I donned the whole solemnization outfit (which I think looks quite good on me! *tak tau malu :P*) and Abg Ramlan snapped some photos.

I'm still lagging in alot of things though. Hantaran haven't started yet. The dulangs still not received from Malaysia. Hope to settle all these things asap.

For kompang, I will be meeting the guy in-charge this coming Monday or Tuesday at his place. Mum can't come along cos Dad's at home and Tunang's working. Anyone want to tag along? The place is in Tampines.

Give me a tag or an sms if you're interested yeah?

OK some updates from me.

Firstly, went to Sophie's Bridal in Tampines last Saturday for my trial make-up session. Tunang couldn't make it cos he was working on the afternon shift so I went alone.

Reached there at about 2.30pm and had a brief introduction with Kak Zana, my mak andam. We sat in a room and she started 'painting' my face. The whole process took about 45 minutes at most and when I saw my face, I was impressed! For once.... I felt G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S! Hahaha!

Took some photos of myself when I reached home. My aunts who were there said I look very different and almost Arab. :) I might post one of the pictures here for you to see. Hee.

So another thing down from my list.

Wedding cake has been booked as well. I'm getting mine from Royals. Chocolate Truffle to be exact. *slurps* Don't know what Tunang will be getting for me though.

As for henna, I'm getting HennaMomma to do it for me since JewelHenna is no longer taking bookings. I think her designs are quite good. And I'm doing the henna on the 29th Nov.

3 weeks and 3 days left before my status change. AND I'm starting to get the jitters.
