Am Back

Am back!
I was out of town to Jakarta for 4 days since Wednesday night. I was of course excited since my very last visit to Jakarta was yonks ago. But the anxiety and ketakutan is wayyyy overwhelming, 4 days 3 nites with him & family..?!!! Woooowieeeee the thought of being 247 with them made me wanna pee in my pants..kecut gile!

Yayyy at first but due to heavy rain & severe turbulance, our landing experince was the worse ever!!!! Will blog about it separately..Gila too much too tell that i dont how to start..hehe!


Fortunately, the trip was wonderful and its good that i discovered the true colors of him (tsk tsk tsk dont worry, it was something sweet & cute)

This trip was never in my plan (suppose to be this April with my family), but i was requested to be part of boyfie’s entourage in exploring and buying stuffs for our Big day (yes I am getting hitched InsyaAllah). Our daily schedule was all planned and organized smoothly by the event planner.
Anyway,
To all that are preparing for you big day, u might ask: Do you really need to fly all the way to Jakarta to get your stuff? Well, it really depends on the size of your wedding and how are you gonna do it? If your purchase is gonna be big, then Jakarta is the place. Personally for me, 2 items that are worth exploring here are:

Invitation card:
Nice hard cover card will only cost you around RM1.80 – RM2.50 vs RM8.00-RM10.00 in KL. So do your math and weigh your option. If card is not really in your top priority list, then just do it here in KL.

Dicky shop at Tebet (Ramayana Plaza), good nego skills is a must!!

Oh, they can also custom-made a mini Yassin or paper bag to your preference in such a reasonable price.
But, ensure to prepare a draft of your desired design beforehand; know your concept including colors, placement of wordings and fonts beforehand. This way, it will minimize the time required for card designing, proofread and finalizing. Trust me, it will take you days to just finalize the artwork. Tedious gileeeeee *sigh*

Suggestion of place: Pasar Tebet (Ramayana Plaza), Jakarta (Do make it clear to the cab driver of your destination or u will be lost in chaotic Indonesia unorganozied road system). The place is a lil bit dodgy (imagine Pertama Complex KL) but for the sake of the reasonable price, it is worth checking!

Textile/Kain ela:

The entrance Pasar Mayestic, nothing fancy about the area but lots of option for laces/kain ela

For inexpensive and beautiful laces (choices are as much as Dubai), try Pasar Mayestic, Jakarta. Again, know what you want to avoid spending too much time and to avoid unnecessary fickleness that can stress you out.

hmm..hmmm..hmmmm..=pening

My color concept went shaky after 30 minutes in the shop, from initial lilac to pale pink to bronze and peach and....llalalallalalal. Too many selection so mata pun jadi rambang.

I guess planning for your Big day definitely a one BIG task. Like any other event planning, it requires ample time for proper planning and smooth execution. Selection of those 2 items mentioned is just a tiny part of the whole task..erghhhhh pening pening. So, yeah always plan it early..:)

Oh, do check out Blok M, lantai 3 (or 5th floor i cant remember) for selection of good Indonesia Batik.
