We've got the dates!!!

Alhamdulillah!!! First of all, it rained after few months of hot and dry season. It's never the case and added by the haze from neighbouring countries x_x. The guys manage to pray solat Istisqa' (a prayer to seek Allah for rain) after their Friday prayers and the Saturday Islamic classes in most mosque prayed Istisqa' too during lesson time. For me, we have the intention of to pray but an hour before the prayer commerce, it rained heavily so we just pray solat Hajat (a prayer to seek anything from Allah). And now, it rained almost everyday. hamdalillah. Secondly, our family is going Langkawi during the June holidays!!yeayyyy!!! I will sponsor most of it but I never doubt a single thing. It will be a memorable on before I get married :)) I've booked the flights and hotels too. Now is the itinerary of what we gonna do there. hehe. Visit the Lang Mahsuri Museum Take the cable car and the bridge Snorkeling at Pulau Payar Watch/ feed eagles, go for the waterfall

Savings Part 2

I just feel a need to post something regarding savings. What I am doing right now is save 50% of my monthly income. Yes, I makes my whole body twitches when I have to pint it out. No more buying things online nor going out so often. Some financial advisors said that we need to at least save 10% of your earned money and I guess that's the minimal. In Singapore, everything is all about money and you have to save more than what you earn :/ Now fret no more. I've sign up OCBC Frank Card (Debit & Credit) because of their financing factor. They actually helps you to keep a budget and won't let you take it out until you reach the target year *which is very good for me!* You can plan whatever you want to save and when you need the money. You can read more here , here and here . Why I have both Debit and Credit? Debit is for my own account and credit is mostly for travelling. I am terribly afraid of bringing so much money and using atms out of the country. And best part

Savings

I was supposed to clear my HK trip blogpost but it still sits at the draft for weeks. I wrote half way through and I really wanted to post it but due to no pictures T_T, I had to wait for a little while coz I saved my pictures in my work lappy. And I was MC last 2 weeks due to sprain of my toe which I thought it was toe dislocation. Alhamdulillah, nothing serious but I wasted $100 worth of my savings (CGH charged a flat rate of $100 for A&E, fyi). Speaking of savings my fiance and I had a big problem of savings. Him was the worst because he is staying with his mom and he had to take care of her and pay all the expenses on his own (house utilities, SP bills, handphone and internet bills, food and transportation, emergency cases, yada yada) and therefore he had so little to save which I kinda pity him. And he has to save everything on his own since there is no one to actually help him financially. He had to save a lot more than me and do everything on his own :(( For my s

Wedding preps!

Yes wedding preps is a pain! Recce, called, emailed, fix date, deposit- you named it! The scary part is that one of my favourite bridal is fully booked for the whole of August. Now, waiting game for the another 2 more. huhu. I've called CCs that I am very interested and was negotiating with my parents whether we still wanna go for CC for else where. I've yet to get quotations from other venues but here's to the CCs that I am keen off . I'll update ones I have the details :) And I have THE wedding checklist done!!! yeayyy! it's just a rough idea on what I may have for my wedding. You can download both spreadsheets and create your own. Hope it helps! Other than that, let's read something useful for those who are getting married, like myself. Enjoy!

a quarter of a century! // Engagement video is up!!!

There's too many surprises in my life especially approaching 25 years of age. I didn't expect to celebrate as much but having the love of my life beside me, it's totally out of this world!hehehe. I got a birthday present from fiance to Gardens by the Bay, we were a little bit late and kinda not make it for both gardens so we opt for the man-made waterfall. It's so amazing but I didn't enjoy as much because we had to chopchop to go to safinah talk.  One of the pictures I had.I'm the type who likes to sit down for hours to mesmerize the beauty of nature, or better still if it is a museum *mata love2*. I'll upload the other pictures as soon as I get the grip of my samsung note 3 pink, also a gift from my father <3 div=""> My girls gave me pandora charms *mata love2 lagi* I didn't expect that I would get a pandora as a gift. Thank you Hajar, Amany and Zura <3 div=""> Last but not least is my baby girl who

Post-wedding activities

Post wedding activities of my friend's wedding it shall be. Remember that I blogged about the props for outdoor wedding photo shoot and the corsage. It was a fair deal, sometimes we do much for others but ended up not satisfying (or may be I lose it all). So yes, the props are nicely done and the FromFranWithLove is so awesome. The service is the best when she said she wanted to send the props to me at my friend's majlis instead coz she kesiankan me I cabbed to her place in Woodlands then had to cabbed back to Yishun, like banyak kerja gitu. Thanks Hana for the props. I really love it. Sad part is, we barely use it for outdoor photoshoot. The guys are being the awkward bunch of grooms man ever and we are the kecoh ones on our own world. Oh before I show you the pictures, let me show you my friend's pictures okay? ok cukup2 jelah. I was the one who introduced them to the photographer. His name is Nuruddyn and you can follow him on instagram and fb if you love his
