bells are ringing

Because to the depths of me, I long to love one person,
With all my heart, my soul, my mind, my body…

Because I need a forever friend to trust with the intimacies of me,
Who won’t hold them against me,
Who loves me when I’m unlikable,
Who sees the small child in me, and
Who looks for the divine potential of me…

Because I need to cuddle in the warmth of the night
With someone who thanks God for me,
With someone I feel blessed to hold…

Because marriage means opportunity
To grow in love in friendship…

Because marriage is a discipline
To be added to a list of achievements…

Because marriages do not fail, people fail
When they enter into marriage
Expecting another to make them whole…

Because, knowing this,
I promise myself to take full responsibility
For my spiritual, mental and physical wholeness
I create me,
I take half of the responsibility for my marriage
Together we create our marriage…

Because with this understanding
The possibilities are limitless.

Marriage is the golden ring in a chain, whose beginning is a glance and whose ending is eternity - by Kahlil Gibran

u can use small paper bags to put in ur favours as per below. i prefer the small ones than the big ones. the big ones are a lil tacky

paper bags as per pictures can be obtained from garden of galleria

wedding doesnt cost you a tiny amount. without proper $$ planning, it may just cost u a bomb! i’ve recently discovered a good way to spend ur money more effective especially on hantaran stuff.

some of the typical hantaran stuff for Malay weddings are perfume, makeup set, watches, shoes, belts, shirt, wallet to name a few. so what’s the tip to save up more on these stuff?

E-BAY!!!!

yes, i’ve recently discovered e-bay and yes, e-bay has definitely helped me saved up a lot of $$ especially on my hantaran stuff. so far, i’ve purchased branded make up set and perfume over ebay and saved up minimum 50% from the actual retail price. that is what i call smart shopping!

i have a few more items in the hantaran check list which i need to look out for in e-bay. if u wanna try it out, please beware of fakes and imitation stuff. do check out on the background of the seller before buying. if the seller has been awarded “POWER SELLER” title, then the things that particular seller sells are genuine and can be trusted.

have fun e-shopping!

i’m currently doing my wedding hairstyle research on the web. these are some of the examples that i find suitable for a malay wedding.

here are some of the links that you might find useful (attached pix were taken for these links)

yikiesss. ok ok pointless freaking out session, i know. ehehe
