April just can't get any better than this!

Last week was full of events. 

Astro's Birthday Dinner > GX-5 Xtreme Swing > Izaidah's Engagement > KTMC 5th Anniversary > Staycation @ Bay Hotel > Adventure Cove > Massage = Taking Leave today!

Initally, I had not intentions (well, I did emphasize that I don't like Viking rides) but these bunch just had to persuade and bribe me to make me ride the GX-5 or the G-MAX. So, birthday boy just had to persuade so much to make me go up.

We went in the evening exactly on 7th April (his Birthday) to ride. 

I tell you, I freak out lah. I ride roller coasters and do water activities but this ride ah, hantar nyawa betul! It doesn't have the hard harnest like roller coasters have. Soft material. Legs dangling. Full view. When we were already up there waiting for Astro to pull down the lever, macam2 doa keluar! The drop I couldn't describe ah. It was super scary!!! That the next few swings wasn't bad at all. Basically, it was just the first drop that was bad. Anyways, Birthday Boy got a free thumb drive with the video of us. Lucky boy! We watched the video last night, Astro was just the worst lah!! Look like he almost fainted. But, he took the challenge to ride so still had to congratulate him on that.

Saturday 9th April, Went to Izaidah's Engagement first in the afternoon with Farhana. Izaidah was gorgeous!!!

And I must tell the whole world how much I love the food served that day. Got my ulam & petai, Ayam lemak cili padi, Sambal sotong... Her kueh-kueh was really good too!!! 

By then, Punggol was raining heavily. So, we took a cab over to ECP for the BBQ. There is more photos in FB but Im just gonna post these few.

Photo Credits to Fiedo & Wife.

Lastly, our flights for honeymoon is confirmed!

So, I have to get my itinerary and accommodations done soon.

Woohoo! City of Love, here we come!

Arwah Azman Bin Ahmad, my FIL.

I had not posted anything on my FIL after the hospital post for quite some time. The truth is, he has passed away on 26 December 2015, Saturday morning at about 6am.

The night before, I stayed at the hospital till late night from morning. Relatives of his that I have never met before came down too. We already know that it was anytime he will go. I wouldn't want to describe much how he looked like at that moment but definitely his condition worsened.

Informed my parents that they just had to come down that day because FIL really don't look too good. My parents were the last guests to visit that night. We knew that FIL had been waiting for my parents to come but he was already unable to speak. His eyes roll around responding to my father as an acknowledgement. We don't know what he wants to tell my father but it was something that we were saddened to see. Only then we realised why it was special that my parents came to be the last guests to see FIL.

My parents left shortly after. Initially I wanted to go home that night but because Fiancé had a abscess that he wanted to remove it the next day at the clinic first thing in the morning. So, decided that since it was very late and pitied Fiancé, I sleepover at my in laws.

We only reached home at about 3am. Showered and watched the TV for a while before going to sleep at about 4am.

I was already in deep sleep when I hear my phone ringing. It was a missed call from MIL. When I wanted to return call, my SIL called me and asked us to rush over.

Woke Fiancé up and I showered first. In the middle of my shower, I hear a knock on my door. I don't feel to good. Rushed my shower and came out only to see my Fiancé standing at a corner smoking fast.

" Ayah dah takde. Die dah pergi. "

Not sure if he was alright but I asked. Well, of course he doesn't right. So he showered and get ready to head over to the hospital. Mostly everyone was there. Made arrangements for the casket. SIL went back home first then afterwards me and MIL. Fiancé will have to wait till the casket comes to bring the body back home.

Everything went well for the ceremony. Had a last look of my FIL. And followed over to the Cemetery.

One thing for sure, we wouldn't want to see him suffer. And Allah loves him more. May his soul rest in peace and all his sins be forgiven. Amin.

ROMM Interview off the list!

It is now at the #3 month till our Wedding. Unbelievably cepattt!!

It is now the even most hectic month. I am arranging as much appointments as possible according to Fiancè's schedule. Tedious job ever okay. But what to do. So, last 2 days was the only time that we head down to ROMM for the interview. Just me, my father (well he is my Wali ofcos) and Fiancè. We went early but not very early lah, we reached at about 9.15am (traffic jam, sebab kite kluar about 8am). Then dah sampan je, we register at the kiosk. Well, I read from someone's blog that they rushed to the counter. I suppose that is because they reach at 8.30am. So mine tak teruk lah. Register at the counter and waited for our turn. We waited long kebab pakcik #7000 (his queue no. was 7000) tak tau buat ape dalam bilik kadi lama giler. Then came out turn. Wali went in first, followed by me then Fiancè. It was cepat lah. I ketuk pintu beri salam and masuk bilk kadi. Then sat down and he only ask have I gotten married before, first time at ROMM, am I engaged to someone else (???, I laughed!) then he check my particulars, time for quad and then angkat sumpah. Thats it. Tak payah pening ok. 

ROMM Interview done!

DAH BOLEH KAHWIN!

Hahah!

Now I am setting appointments for my bridal which is this coming Friday. Then I am going to check on my wedding cake design, dulang trays, etc. But then once ur honeymoon flight is confirm, I will quickly make bookings for accommodation. Woohoo!

Laters everyone!

Venue Booking/ROMM Application

From today's date, a few more days (which is 21 actually) will be the exact 5 months to #eissznisweds . 

I was prolly planning to change the hashtag but I have been using it since our preps started for about a year. Then I asked for opinions and my orang kuat says I should just stick to it. Don't have to make it anymore fancier. Good advice though.

On top is the photo I upload in my IG. I kurus still at this point. Not as chubby as what I am today. HAHA! Our happiness has made us both gained weight!

I am scrolling on some infos for the venue, kadi selection and ROMM Registration stuff. So here it is.

The Venue:

As you readers know (or if you have not read my blog posts, you can give a scroll), I had to change my venue plans from a CC to void deck. Not so much on the budget issues but I am unable to book it due to wedding date falls on a PH. I am sucha confuse person that can't confirm which Town Council I belong to (HAHAHA!) but after confident cause I remembered about GE 2015. 

I just try my luck lah to even double check with the at the Town Council's website (Sembawang Town Council).

They were fast, called me the next day. I already knew that I can only book 150 days in advance but I wanted to enquire and confirm other information.

Deposit

I read their T&C, understand that their deposit is $500. True enough. BTB/GTB, korang standby okay the $500 deposit. Its refundable. So not to worry lah as long as you do not breach anything, your deposit will come back to you.

Price/Rates

Its cheap of course, it is on top of the deposit amount. What I got is.. 

Void Deck: $20/- per day

Electricity/Water: $10/- per day

So just calculate per day basis as $30/-

Confirmation from ROMM

Make sure to bring along the Email Correspondence once you have done your ROMM Registration/Application online. You will need it.

And that's just basically it. Easy peasy. Still I can't book now. Have to Apply for ROMM first which is about next week.

Moving on the ROMM.

We didn't really browse so much on which kadi we want. No pressure on Eissz because my Father told us that he will not take in as Kadi this time round for me. He had enough pressure during my sister's wedding. Eissz was super happy that he smiled ear to ear. Gosh! Bertuah budak ni. 

Anyways, my Father recommended his friend Nor Razak Bin Bakar to be our Kadi. I chanced upon browsing some video online. Not bad though. But that will depend on his availability. I hope he does or I will have to look through other backups.

Yeap. So thats it for now.

Will do another post soon!

#164 Days to the Wedding

As the number of days is now #164, its about 5 months to our Wedding.

I tell you, more and more things are coming our way. People can be just irritating to you. And you wish you can just mute them! HAHAHA!

I have planned quite alot for my Dayang Dayang. Booked them early but some is just telling me things like " I'm still not sure" " I don't know if I need to work on that day" " I have exams that week" and some other wonderful excuses I'm receiving. 

There is no obligations to being my Dayang Dayang. If you can't, just say NO to me. Not a hanging answer. I want committed to be Dayang Dayang. Not a 'setengah masak' kind. I don't know how else I am going to phrase all this. But oh well, I will just see over January's meeting whom comes. I have no more time to keep bugging Dayang Dayang ok. Bridesmaids are suppose to be calming me down, assist me in my plannings and all. Bt nope, making me become a Bridezilla.

On top of all these, I have to face relatives issues that is so unpleasant. I don't care whom is having a wedding before me (secara sengaja atau tidak sengaja), you spoil ours, I'll spoil yours. SIMPLE. Your ruin my party, I'll ruin yours too.

Making things even simpler in words right now (because I don't want to vent anymore anger in me because of these issues), DO NOT DEPEND ON FAMILY if you know that they are prone to just backstab you, always finding fault and always calculative. WONDERFUL! I JUST SAID EVERYTHING OUT!

Definitely, you do not want to mess with me this time. I'm just going to be straight about what I think and people just have to accept it cos its my WEDDING. Like it or not, I am already suspecting bad behaviours from the relatives here on my special day. But y'know what? Imma do the exact same thing. I don't want to have photos of people that hates me and my family. That has issues with me. So Imma make a list of people to take photos with me to my DJ for my side. Welcome to the reality. If you wanna see how bitchy I am, I will. Clapping hands. Bravo to the most recent wedding that I don;t feel like I am part of a family.

So now I think we are tying down to the color theme for my family. And will be choosing our menu and deco too by this month. In the midst of all the selection making, I have to register for our ROMM or else, I can't book the void deck. Yeap, it really disappoints me deep that CC's are not open on PH. Sadly, my birthday falls on a PH on my wedding. BIG SIGH.

My FMIL has been supporting us in so many ways now. From our hantaran gifts, to additional door gifts and the very unexpected wedding gifts for us both.

To be continued...

Satin Skinz Skincare Set

Let me update this post on the new skincare that I am trying on before making another post on the updates.

So I find that after a big switch from Lyanaz Babies Blink (my second purchase was such a disappointment) that I try on Amyera Beauty for about 2 months. Even worse I must say or maybe my expectation is already base on Lyanaz Babies Blink. HAHA! So now I'm trying on Satin Skinz Skiucare Set that comes with the Toner (FREE baybeh!), Cleanser, Day Cream and Night Cream. Slightly more in price than I usually would want to purchase but worth the try. 

One thing I like is that the Cleanser is a Gel type in a bottle. Unlike other skincares that I tried is Solid Soaps. I have no issues on Soaps (no doubt they are still quite good) just that it is easier with Cleansers in a bottle type that is travel friendly. At first I find that the Rose smell was a little too strong on the cleanser because it goes up through my nostrils and to my brains! HAHAH! But it was alright, it smells really good. It will keep on reminding me of the Rose Syrup. 

After washing your face with the Cleanser, Wipe your face dry and put on the Toner. Oh yah, the donwfall of the Amyera Beauty is that it doesn't come along with the Toner. So lucky me I have a spare toner that time. I realised as well that Toners are an essential when using skincares. If not, nothing will make a difference to your complexion. That's the reason why I got so happy when Satin Skinz Skincare set comes with FOC Toner. 

Toner dries up and you can apply the Day Cream or Night Cream evenly. Well, I am most of the time not home, I will put over my powder once I apply the Day Cream. Only for the Day Cream yah. Night Cream should work its magic to repair your skin at night so don't put on anything else on your face. Everything from Satin Skinz Skincare Set smells of ROSE. Very Relaxing I must say.

As of now still on my first set, I noticed the pimple scares I have are diminished! Not entirely but slowly ofcos. Your skin needs to work hard too y'know.

For those whom have yet to try, try it! There are distributors in SG for Satin Skinz Skincare Sets. Happy trying ladies!

Okay, so its been a while that I lift off from my previous post.

 

It was hectic weeks eversince my Future Father-In-Law (FFIL) was shifted from the normal ward to the single room.

 

I have not write about him in my entire blog because it is pretty personal however we do hope over the years that he will recover. Whatever we asked for (doa) still can only be decided by the only One (Him).

 

 

For the past 3 years with my Fiance, including the year we got engaged, FFIL was quite healthy as in he has appetite to eat anything, he can still walk, goes to work like normal, talk and joke like normal. What I know was that by then he has undergone his 1st surgery. Okay, wondering what he is suffering right? At that moment, we only knew he suffered from brain tumor. So the surgery was successful however there is still a small tumor that doctors are unable to remove as it was very close to the brain.

 

Till last year, we find that he falls sick more easily and fits attacks frequently too. Half of the year was spend mostly at the hospital warded for short periods individually. Still, we have no clue what is happening. Fiance and I, we were quite sure that there is something more serious than what is seems. Asked my Future Mother-In-Law (FMIL) several times but she answered us the same thing "Everything is caused by the little tumor that can't be removed"

 

Pretty sure that it is more than just a

'Tumor'

We do visit FFIL when he is hospitalised but still curious as to the answers given by FMIL.

When he starts to get weaker from a stroke on his left side (Includes hands and legs) till his legs arent strong enuf, wheelchaired and the worse lastly he is bedridden.

That is when FMIL popped the secret.

FFIL suffers from Brain Cancer Stage 4. Last stage?! 

Yes. It is. Only early of the year (2015), and on top of that, doctors has set an estimated life span. 3-6 months. Please know its 3-6 months that is not a confirmation. It can be longer, it can be shorter. But are we prepared at that time? NOPE. We weren't. But we were ready to hear the truth.

However it was late when we got to know about this. Why? If we knew, we wouldn't have let him go through Chemo (Oh well, he did it without us knowing). If we knew, we could have done more and discuss other possibilities to cure his cancer. Right there, I just said it. We were truly heartbroken knowing the truth that we are not able to say anything nor do anything about it. It was too late. 

FMIL seek for help from different organisations to pay off the hospital bills and household bills incurred. At a point that we tried to discuss and suggested solutions but FMIL rejected the possibilities. We just adhere.

We were able to bring FFIL back home just in time for Hari Raya Aidilfitri this year and celebrating all birthdays as possible with him.

Only just 2 weeks back, things got really bad. His condition has deteriorate. He had another fits attack. After that, he was stable but weak. 1 whole week everyday we had gone over to the hospital to see him.

Not just that, FFIL had been seeing things, saying things that we understood why. Things that was weird but it meant something.

We prepared for the worst. Till to date.

We prayed that Allah will take him away peacefully when the time comes and forgiven all his mistakes. Insyaallah, Amin.
