Wish List

Dear Friends,

We have decided on a wish-list of our own in order to help well-wishers in deciding their gifts for this occassion. This is also to avoid us receiving gifts which will be of less use to us. Mind you, it is not that we do not appreciate your efforts & thoughts for us. We just don't want money to be wasted nor to keep double of each item we already have in our little house.

If you would like to give us a gift from the items below, please let us know. We will, perhaps be able to advise on where or how to get them.Please note that for some of the gifts, you may need to chip in with other friends as well. We encourage you to do that.


We would like you to know that we do not expect anything from our guests except for your wonderful presence in our joyful occassion. Please come with an open heart to eat, drink, talk, laugh & share our happiness together. We thank you for being there for us throughout the good and bad times.


Thanks for having a look.


P/S: If you are planning on getting any of the items below on the wishlist, please post a comment to reserve. This is to avoid friends from giving doubles of the item.

Are you prepared?

For those of my friends who are getting married anytime soon.. pls do read this article. It's a good one!

Simple steps to a blissful married life

Newly-wed couples are actually entering a new phase of their lives. Romance and communication are still an important part to keep the love flame alight for a lifetime.

However, communication must come with understanding and acceptance; the important foundation to a blissful married life.

Here are 4 simple steps for a blissful marriage:

  • Be Realistic

Maybe it is that romantic Korean drama, or that Jane Austen novel with the sweet happy ending. Whatever reason it is, some people tend to think of marriage as a bed of roses, and expected the ideal perfection from their other half.

But, as quoted, in the harsh reality, marriage is far from being a paradise. Marriage means preparing to form a new family, and taking up the responsibilities as well. Food, laundry, house chores, household expenses, childcare, and children’s education eventually; these are the things that every married couple will eventually need to face, and it is not easy.

Also, people are not perfect, including your other half, which is why some couple never got married long. They expected the impossible ideal, and refused to accept their spouses’ imperfection.

  • Be Mentally prepared

As we mentioned earlier, marriage is a new phase in life; which means sharing your life with another person for as long as you live. And it definitely is different from the life of a single person, which is why couples need to be mentally prepared. Sometimes, newly-weds may need the time to get use to their new life, especially the ladies, who will have to learn to live with her husband’s family, if they are living together in the ancestral home.

Starting a new family, and living with previously complete strangers are new challenges, and the right state of mentality brings out the best results.

  • Be Intimate

One of the most important aspects in marriage, sexual fulfillment can affect the quality of a couple’s married life. Thus, no harm in exploring and knowing more about the intimate side of marriage!

A marriage lacking sexual satisfaction is heading towards an end. So, share your fantasies with your spouse, explore together and don’t be shy! This is a little step in achieving the perfect marriage.

  • Be Patient

When a marriage is rushed, it wouldn’t be the best. As quoted, marriage is the harvest, from the seeds of love. It must be harvested only when it the time is right for the best results. A marriage rushed is like a harvest done before the fruit ripens. How could 2 strangers share their lives forever when they aren’t even sure if he or she is their Mr. Right or Mrs. Right?

In fact, statistics have shown that hastily tying the knot is one of the reasons for divorce. Therefore, give more time for each other to contemplate, understand before deciding to tie the knot. Only when love matures, will the marriage be perfect.

2 weeks more to go..

I can't believe I'm going to finish my bachelorette period in 2 weeks time..gosh, what am I thinking! haha. The days of having my me-time will be gone! I, in fact have analysed this issue thoroughly for the past one week before going to ZzzZzz.. and realized that by me getting married will not change my life 360 degrees. This is simply because I have spent like 80% of my outing time with my fiance&friends so there will not be this crap like since I'm a wife, I can't go out & things like that. The advantages of knowing each other for quite some time makes us understand each other better & thus he understands that I love going out for movies&good food where as for him, chilling with friends till late at night is a must. I have decided and told him recently, just because he is a husband, I will not constraint his social activities. With NO terms&conditions. good eh! I read in an article, it says..Compromise is the key to happiness!

p/s: Friends, I know you all have been asking me to post my wish list ..Sorry, been busy. I will do it soon. Please wait ya!

Let's start the countdown peeps!

Yes, it's 28 more days to go.. While I juggling with heavy work load, I still have to keep myself updated with the wedding preparation that is mostly done by my mom now. On my part, I THINK I have done everything. Maybe there's a lil bit more to do but I'm relieve I've done the big bulk of the wedding preparation. Last Sunday, I went to Amcorp Mall to do the bridal henna. I was very excited as it was my first time doing it on my hand. I have always liked henna and thinks that it is something special that should be put on the wedding day. I thought I wanted the girl to just do it on the wedding day but she insisted that I should try it on first just in case I don't like the work or the color of the henna on my skin. It took her 1 hour to draw just a simple drawing on my right hand. Since I was so excited I didn't even keep track of the time but I knew it was long because I could see Helms sleeping beside me! Wanna see my henna..

Note: This is just a test on my hand. Drawing may differ on the actual day. Drawing will definitely be on all the fingers except on the wedding ring finger.

Color.

As I was browsing the internet for wedding purposes, I came across this interesting article about color. It says that our personalities can be reflected in our color choices. Take a look at some of the color samples & find out what it says about you!

Pink:

Pink, emotional in character, connotes a sensitive heart. Universally representing caring and sharing, pink indicates a strong personality. The affectionate and concerned individual prefers pink. Gently, you offer love, attention and nurturing to those in distress.

Red, the single most dynamic and passionate color, symbolizes love, rage and courage. Demanding attention, red has great emotional impact. Those who select red are aggressive, impulsive and strive for success. The desire to experience the fullness of living leads to constant activity.

Violet, the color of luxury, indicates sensuality, passion and depth of feeling. This lavish color creates an unusual atmosphere and provides an unexpected essence. If you like violet, you tend to be unique, highly sensitive and observant. Creative and artistically talented, you tend to have a complex personality.

Just another day @ work

Just a second ago I was looking at this screen thinking what to write in my blog today. Without realizing it, it is already almost the end of the day for today. Look at how time flies..so fast!I've just had 2 meetings today and I feel like my brain is all washed up by it. Meetings after meetings after meetings. There's so many things to do but yet it is easier said than done. Ramadan is coming, after that comes Raya then comes the Big Day. Oh gosh, not long before I become someone else's property. Being a girl, lady and a woman..we will always be under someone's custody. After being under Mohd Azahar&Roslina's custody for 25 years, nurtured&tortured with love, the time has come for them to transfer the custody to my soon-to-be hubby. Sounds like a burden huh! I remember my dad told me once, "Taking care of my one and only daughter is worse than having to take care of 10 cows!". Well, I have to agree with him. It was one hell of a time for him to raise me, to make me become to who I am today. Despite of enjoying having power as a husband, you now not only have to take care of yourself but also another person i.e your wifey. Like what Spiderman said, WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY!

Workin' Woman I Am

Hola peeps! So many things happened in this few months back that I just don't have the time to update my blog. Only after Faha kept on pestering me I decided to give myself 10mins off to write something in my blog. There's so many things to tell at a time but yet lil time that I have to spend on my blog. FYI, I'm currently working at the Insolvency Department as Assistant of Director of Insolvency. So I'm officially a career woman. Yikes! That sounds stressful. Honestly I kinda miss my student life. I miss meeting frens especially during honours prog. We will be having all sorts of fun, tears, laughter in a day. Well life has to go on and here we are going on our separate ways. Most of us are in the AG'S Chambers being Puans & Tuans, while the rest of us are doing chambering in legal firms all around Malaysia. I hope for the best for all of us.

Since my wedding is coming up very very soon (at least that's what I think), so many people come up to me and ask the FAQ: How's your wedding prep?
The answer would be I'm still struggling to finalise every little details. So far it's going as planned. Alhamdullillah I have a lot of helpful people around me to help me organize my Big Day. I'm excited, nervous, sometimes I even break into tears hoping, praying that everything will go smooth sailing on the day. Until next time..

Is he THE ONE?

How do you know that he's the one?

When you still feel 'butterfly-in-your-stomach' before seeing him
When you still wanna look pretty in front of him even after 7 years together
When you still spare some time for him even for 5mins no matter how busy you are
When there is still stories to tell everytime you meet and if he doesn't have one, he will have to create one or it might just lead to a small fight..
When you still feel that he's hot in every way..well, even hotter than Brad Pitt!
When he's the last person on your mind before you close your eyes
When he's the first person you wanna talk to when your tear drops
When he still ask you out on a date even for a dinner at mamak
When you know he hates horror movie but still follows you since it's your fav kinda movie
When there is always a soft spot for him in your heart even if he misbehave,
When you tell yourself that you're willing to go through all the obstacles with him, no matter what happens.

When he knows your dos and don'ts
When he knows how to use the right kinda tone plus touch to smoothen you when you're stiff
When he knows what you're thinking by only looking at your face
When he tries to avoid an argument when you're about to start one
When he accepts all the blame in a fight during your menstruation period
When he knows where to sit; beside or next to you without you telling him
When he makes you feel good when you're down even if it has to result to white lies
When he accepts the good side of yours and amend the bad side
When he looks at all other chix but at the end of the day will tell you that you're still the PrEttiEst of all!

It takes two to tango!


Life is Learn

God has given me tremendous obstacles in going through this life,
I should not be asking why,
I should be wondering what have I done wrong to deserve it.
I cracked my head thinking, hoping for miracles to happen
but sometimes it does not turn out like how it should be
I thought I would fall apart,
I thought my tears will never stop,
unconsciously my inner strength held me all the way,
It didn't let me sway.

God has all the reasons to put me through this,
Who am I to judge Him,
I'm just a slave,
Got to be strong and ready at all times,
I watched myself evolve from the weak-me to the strong-me
But yet at times I failed
Failed to prove to myself that I'm better, stronger
I must not try, I must do it
Life is not trying, making the same mistakes over and over again
Life is about making mistakes and learn from it!

FAQ: How was the INTERVIEW?

It went well. It was a long day for all of us coz we had to wait for 2 hours for our turn to be interviewed. The Attorney General, Tan Sri Gani Patail together with other Head of Division in AG's Chambers interviewed us but Tan Sri did most of the talking and questioning. We heard so many scary-mary stories about being interviewed by Tan Sri. One thing for sure, you must be ready with a right, precise and exact answer. After being interviewed, I would say that it's not that terrifying as I thought it would be. He was not stiff, rigid. He was like in a good mood. Nevertheless, that didn't stop us from being cuak just minutes before entering the meeting room. I would like to share some funny conversation that I could recall during the interview with the AG. Please note, it might not be the same exact sentence ya but the gist is there.

Tan Sri: So, what does your father do?
Interviewee: He’s a farmer Tan Sri. He rears goats and cows.
Tan Sri: Oh, you mean cattles?
Interviewee: Yes, Tan Sri.
Tan Sri: So, how many goats does he have other than you?
Interviewee: 1000 goats Tan Sri.
************************************************
Tan Sri: So do you know how to rear goats?
Interviewee: Yes, I always help my father at the farm during the semester break.
Tan Sri: If I were to send you far from your farm, is it okay for you to be separated with your goats?
Interviewee: It’s okay, I can still go back during the weekends.
************************************************
Tan Sri: So, what work did you do previously?
Interviewee: I was a salesman for developer.
Tan Sri: How much was your salary?
Interviewee: Taking in around $3500
Tan Sri: Well, do you know that if you join as L41 you will be getting only $2900
Interviewee: It’s okay. My wife is working.
**************************************************
Tan Sri: I think you got your facts wrong.
Interviewee: I’m sorry Tan Sri. I’m here to be corrected.
Tan Sri: That’s why you should not answer if you do not know.
Interviewee: I’m sorry Tan Sri. People make mistakes.
Tan Sri: So if I take you as DPP you will make mistakes and mistakes and mistakes until you retire. Is that okay?
Interviewee: Yes, it’s okay Tan Sri.
****************************************************
Tan Sri: What do you intend to do?
Interviewee: I want to be a Public Prosecutor Tan Sri.
Tan Sri: Ok, then you will have to wait until I retire.
Interviewee: Sorry, I want to be a Prosecuting Officer.
Tan Sri: What? Then you should have become a police officer.
*********************************************************
Tan Sri: If I were to send you to Middle Rock, would you go?
Interviewee: Yes Tan Sri, I would.
Tan Sri: Do you know where Middle Rock is? Its the two rocks beside Pulau Batu Puteh. You cannot even erect a building! You should have answered I cannot work there because there is no office at Middle Rock.
Interviewee: I will go wherever you send me Tan Sri.
**************************************************************
Tan Sri: What do you want to be?
Interviewee: I want to be a DPP. I ‘m very good in Criminal Trial&Advocacy.
Tan Sri: What did yo get for the subject?
Interviewee: A-
Tan Sri: That’s not that good isn’t it?
Interviewee: Yes, I believe so Tan Sri. But I will do whatever it takes to be a DPP Tan Sri
Tan Sri: Now you’re scaring me!

'The AKAD NIKAH Dress'

After watching The Incredible Hulk movie, I shoot to Ampang Point to send Helms kain baju melayu for the Akad Nikah ceremony. I have sent mine earlier so I went there also for fitting my dress. I was really excited to try it but at the same time scared..if it'll make me look FAT since it's white. Plus, I've gained weight this past few weeks. Anyway, for some of you who's planning to do baju kahwin or even baju raya please visit this boutique at Ampang Point, Citra by Iszal. He's a really good designer, he did a good job on the beading. I was really impressed! It's a bit pricey though but for you people who does not mind paying for beautiful beadings I can assure you he's superb at it. So what did he do to my dress to make it look beautiful? He put a three layer at my dress just to make it 'terletak' on the body, they call it as well as more fitting to the body. Three layer means the dress is layered with satin and then with chiffon. Oh yeah, any enquiry please put it at my comment column k. So, check it out The Akad Nikah Dress!


Ermm..how do I look my dearest friends? Helms called me "princess" right after he saw me! Hihi perasan kejap... ;p

My Mid-Year Resolution!

Dearest friends, in order to look good on my big day I have decided to have start on my mid-year resolution which is...To keep fit! Just want to share a few tips with you people out there who has the intention to do the same;) Yes, I know who you are..Haha.

1. GO TO THE LOO regularly!
Why? To flush all the toxic waste in our body. Accumulated toxins are one of the reasons for ineffective weight loss.

2. NEVER EAT while watching TV or reading!
Cause overeating. Err, is eating while watching movie included?...I love popcorn!

3. NO SUPPER after 8pm!
If you're really hungry, get a glass of milk or fruits. Ok, ok supper at Hartamas every weekend would be an exception. Yeay!

4. DON'T OVEREAT when you're stress or depressed!
Have you seen Kung Fu Panda, Po the Panda loves to eat when he is sad. Look what has turned him into - a big fat cute Panda with bulging tummies!

5. DON'T STARVE yourself!
I know I can't. I'll be like a Zombie!

6. Lots of PLAIN WATER!
Even if you're drinking at mamak or any restaurant-to reduce calories and sugar intakes.

7. EXERCISE!
Even if you're a lazy bum or have no time to do exercise like me:), try doing at least bits of it. Like park your car a bit far from the shopping mall entrance, use the stairs instead of lift (only if it's 5-storey building!), walk instead of drive for short distances (with the fuel price hike, we seriously should consider walking now!)

8. EAT HEALTHILY!
NO fried foods. Please let me eat chicken crispers...!Steamed or boiled foods are GOOD. I know, Yucks:(

The Continuation..

What makes a good friend? Let’s make a list:

# Anyone who is not judgmental but will tell you the truth about you and your actions.

# Someone who does not compete with you unfairly.

# Anyone who is thrilled when things go brilliantly for you.

# A person who cheers you up when things look down.

# Someone who defends you bravely when people are vicious.

# Someone who is there to boost your morale and motivate you when you have failed.

# Anyone who will laugh with you, cry with you, and act silly, when the situation requires it.

# Someone who befriends you irrespective of who you are or where you come from.

Good and lasting friendships are always a blessing. Some friendships formed at school last a lifetime. Some people have friends but as they grow older, they change, their interests change and they move on and make other friends. Some friendships formed during your uni life or towards the end of your uni life and you find it it as good as the other friendships. This is because friendships cannot be measured from the duration but the quality of the friendship.

People say that when you grow older, like-minded people come into your life and friends who envied your success will move away. It is also a fact that you will eventually outgrow some of your friends.

Real friendship is like this. Time is of no essence. You can meet after four decades and it makes no difference to the joy and comradeship that you feel. The only issue would be trying to catch up with details about what you’ve been doing with your lives.

There is a pattern to every friendship: we hope that it will endure over time and distance, mistakes and misunderstandings.

What really is a TRUE FRIEND? As cliche as it may sound, we can never run away from a friendship. We may have thousands of friends in this world but who really are your true friends.

“Friends in your life are like pillars on your porch. Sometimes they hold you up, and sometimes they lean on you. Sometimes it’s just enough to know that they are standing by.” – Anonymous

The answer everyone is looking for depends on their experiences in life in going through a friendship. To me it is..the people who stand by you, cheer you up when everything goes down. I have had 25 years of experience being in and out of a friendship. I may not have the best skills in PR, I may not have the most good friends in the world but I know bits about friendship. Let me share that bits of thoughts of mine with you. There are many types of friends in this world you can get. Friends who are opportunist; who comes and say hello to you when you're fun to be with and say bye when you're in deep shit. Friends who are happy to stick a dagger at your back. Friend who envy and does not acknowledge your success. Friends that will make friends with people of his kind. Friends who will stick with you in good and bad times. Friends who will never let you down. Friends who will stand by you when the whole world is against you. So what type of friend are you? Think about it ya. To be continued..

Isetan Sale! 24th May onwards..

Peeps! Isetan KLCC is having a SALE! Pls do go, as there are some good offers. Me and my mama went for the members pre-sale day yesterday, it was like hurricane in the store. Ramai gile orang ok. It’s like the stuffs are sold at RM1! They must have waited for the Isetan Sale for a long time enough for them to kumpul duit. Surprisingly, there was no item that caught my eyes. Maybe because my presence over there was not to shop (hey, did I really mean that? Yeah!) It was merely to accompany my mom who wants to buy her Estee Lauder cosmetics. While waiting for my mom to decide on which product she wants to buy (I thought she already have something in mind!) I decided to check out Dior handbags for my hantaran. The salesgirl was so nice she let me try all the handbags. Hehe. Honestly speaking, there was no one handbag that I like. Besides all the handbags are in big sizes, I need something that is small so can fit the dulang hantaran. Talking about handbag, the other day I went to LV boutique. There were so many Chinese, I assume they are all tourists. They were buying LV handbags as if there is Sale! Berebut-rebut ok. I was like, “Are you kidding me?!” I’m here trying to buy for the hantaran and here they are buying the handbags like beli roti. Huhu. Due to so many people in the boutique, even the boutique representative didn’t bother to entertain me. I got fed up waiting so I just walked out. I intend to go back to LV, to check out Helms hantaran but I’ll first make sure that the boutique is not full with people. One thing that I notice is that, the LV boutique reps are mostly good looking Malay men while the Gucci boutique reps are mostly Chinese men+ladies.

Anyway, back to the main story I just bought myself a dress at Isetan. We went to the supermarket, ya ampun ramai gile orang! Then my mama saw so many people buying this Japanese cracker oat (the best way to promote a product = everyone have it in their trolley!), she wanted to buy it and I said No! The queue was so damn long. She insisted on buying it so I didn’t want to make a big fuss out of it, just queue la Dini...We were so hungry as we didn’t have our lunch yet so I suggested to my mama that we should try The Apartment’s food. The ambience was really like being at home since the motto is ‘Let us take you home’. The service was lousy. Can you believe it they did not take our order, we waited for so long. “There was a miscommunication”, that was what they said. I was already hungry and grumpy and that really pissed me off. So we complained to the manager. We didn’t bother to order the second time as my mama had another plan so we just had a drink over there. But I must say the freshly squeezed mango juice was nice so maybe I’ll just come back next time for their mango juice!

The Ring Day!

Yesterday was a ‘Ring Day’. Helms and I went to scout around for his wedding ring in KLCC. It was easier to bring the person itself to the shop so that we can see which ring suits him the best. It’s different when you see it on its own and when you wear it on your finger. Well, there was no one ring in particular that we liked yesterday, maybe because they all look nice. Plus, I feel like our hunt for the ring is not over yet so we could not confirm to buy any of the rings…yet. There was no like love at first sight when I looked at those rings. I do believe love at first sight you know when it comes to buying stuffs. There’s like this deep inner feeling telling you that that’s THE ONE! But at first you’ll try to resist it by saying to yourself that we should check out other stuffs first just in case there is better deal at other places but you just know it that at the end of the day you’ll come back to that particular love-at-first-sight stuff. Funny eh. Thank God there has been no one telling me ‘Hey! Be a man!’...Haha. You would understand me if you have seen Russell Peter. Should really check him out. One cool funny dude! Anyway, back to the story (as always me liking to deviate from the main story, don’t mind me yeah) our first stop was Bvlgari. The boutique representative, Wan was very friendly. Though it was a high-end brand, he made us feel comfortable being at the boutique. There was a single band ring with its brand name written at the side of the band. It looked unique. I kinda like it. Our next boutique was Cartier. I’m a particular kinda person when it comes to service. I believe that when you’re at a branded store, or a posh restaurant you should be treated nicely, the service must be good and efficient. The reason it is expensive is because we not only pay for the price of the product or food per se but also for the service. Thus, it must be good or else it’s not worth paying. I must say that Cartier’s service is extremely good. We were well treated. They offered us drink, they even gave us jewellery catalogue, watch catalogue and the latest Tatler magazine. We checked out the Love collection, at first I didn’t quite like the design. However, after Helms put at his finger I was surprised, as it looked pretty nice. I might consider buying that. We also went to Piaget, I would say the rings are all okay but not really my type. Plus, the boutique representative was not that attentive towards us and that really turned me off. So Piaget is out of the question. If you peeps have any place in mind that you think the rings are nice, please leave a comment yeah so I might just check out the place. As of now, I have not made up my mind which ring I should buy. I definitely need to see more rings!

OPI and Civil paper analysis.

I have not been updating my blog due to my tight schedule in my daily routine activity. There is not much to tell except that I have been spending most of the time with Helms. There is so much to catch up between us since we were so busy with exams. Anyway, just a message for Hons2 students..according to Nazim, unfortunately all of the students pass OPI paper! Yeay! Thank God to that, I can't imagine someone repeating OPI paper. That paper is so demotivating ok. However, from another reliable source there are a few students who fail for Civil paper. According to Rajes, the number of failure is not as many as last semester but there are still few people fail the paper. Despite of having a similar type of question for every final exam it does not stop the students from failing the paper. Well, maybe it's not tough but it's very technical in a sense that you really have to understand the procedure or else you're doom! That will be my humble opinion on the paper. Not that I'm a genius or smart to comment anything about this paper since I myself am also a survivor for this paper. Haha. Let us all pray and hope for the best. Yikes! I'm so damn scared.. May the force be with us.

The all-goes-well day!

Yeap! Indeed it was the all-goes-well day for me yesterday:) I was supposed to have an appointment with Jovian only yesterday but ended up meeting a few other people whom I never intended to meet. Well, I consider yesterday as my lucky day. Huhu. Lyana was partner of the day and I must say that she did a tremendous job as my partner! Thanx babe. It was hell of a fun day. Anyway, we dropped by Cosry before meeting with Jovian. I have always wanted to see Cosry's work since I know they are really good in heavy beadings. I love beads, lots of beads! When we arrived, we were greeted by the Exec Director, Putra. He was very friendly, to the extent that he made me feel like I've known him for years! Their work in beadings are superb! There were a few lovely wedding gowns on the patungs and each&every one of it had full beadings for the top. I became rambang mata, didn't know which one that I like most because honestly all of them were lovely. Like Cinderella's dress;) Pic below: Me & Putra


Not long after that, Pak Abu, the famous wedding decorator came to the boutique. Apparently his showroom is situated above Cosry's boutique. It was really a fate for me to meet Pak Abu. My mom have been telling me to make an appointment with Pak Abu but since I was extremely busy with the final exam, I did not bother to look out for his no. and make an appointment. At that instant moment, I told Pak Abu that my mom have been wanting to make an appointment with him but I just didn't have time to find him. How was he? Well, if u think I'm loud, he's louder! Hehe. We talked a lot about how my wedding concepts would be, he even gave me suggestions on how my wedding dress should be. Putra and Lyana, on the other hand were laughing all the way seeing us arguing on the design of my wedding dress. Pak Abu took us to his showroom and showed us some of his bunga telor. There were a few lovely ones that attracted my eyes but I have yet to decide which one I would go for, for my bunga telor.

Shortly after that, we went to Jovian's boutique for the appointment. Thought of just checking out his design and how he is as a person. I ended up liking his design as well as him as he was really cool. He has very good PR skills unlike some other designers who think they are famous enough that they do not need to impress the clients with a high degree of courtesy and the PR skills. Especially in my case, I went there as a student but yet he treated me very well and the service was really good. Well, I guess it's worth the price paying for his couture. Jovian is a jovial person. Rhymes very well huh. Anyway, he asked me how I wanted the dress to look like as in modern or traditional? I told him I want it to look fresh, unique and most importantly something that is not cliche. He did a very nice sketch for my wedding dress. I was really impressed the fact that we gave him 10 mins to think and sketch my wedding dress. When I saw the wedding dress he drew, I felt like he knew what I was thinking coz some of the details for the top and the sarung was just perfect like how I wanted it to be. I just love it! Then we bumped into Kak Nita (Anita Sarawak) right before we said bye to Jovian. It turned out to be an enjoyable day for both of us and we were like so hyper all the way..


Since we had a very nice day meeting all sorts of people, we decided to treat ourselves with a nice sweet dessert. We ended our day with an extremely nice dessert that I would crave for like 24/7 and that would be none other than....Molten Choc Cake @ Chilli's. Yeay!!
