My Mak Andam

ini post edisi iklan......
i was so lucky to be married in Ipoh as wedding package prizes is far way cheaper than compared to Klang Valley....i was so shocked and surprised to find out just how much a pelamin can cost a bride-to-be...then i thought to myself, Alhamdulillah and syukur that i've hire this Mak Andam. she was actually an elder sister to one of my close fren back in TM....though if u browse through her fotopages, u won't be really impress wif the pelamin, or da make up or even the wedding dress....but trust me, i was so damn satisfied for wut she gave me....

my all in wedding package includes :

1. Pelamin with fresh flowers (including kipas, tpt letak tgn, tpt tepung tawar, payung & bunga pahar stand)
2. Bride's Room Decoration with fresh flowers
3. Make-up for solemnization
4. Make-up for Wedding Reception
5. Dress for solemnization (Bride's own materials..upah jahit je)
6. Dress for bride and groom - designed and sew purposely for us
7. Bride's Hand Bouquet of fresh flowers
8. 9 Dulang hantaran with fresh flowers from bride to groom
   
9. 7 Dulang hantaran with leaves motive from groom to bride

and all above just cost me RM2,600.00. which i considered very cheap and satisfying....

when i first met her, this is some of the conversation between us :
Mak Andam : Ape konsep kamu?
Me : Pink
Mak Andam : Semua pink?
Me : Ha'ah (proudly)...pelamin pink, hantaran pink, baju pink.....nak gune fresh flowers tuk pelamin and hantaran...
Mak Andam : hurmmm.....pelamin pink?? baju pun pink??....
Me : Ha'ah..(wif eager face)
Luckily i know da mak andam quite well, so...she's not hesitate to say anything to me....
Mak Andam : mana bole pelamin pink baju pun nak pink....tenggelam le nanti....
Me : Tapi amy suka pink...(sambil mencebik) kalo camtuh amy nak baju shocking pink...
Mak Andam : mmg la hang suka pink...mmg kaler shocking pink tu cantek...tp, tak tentu kaler tu sesuai ngan hang....
Mak pun menyampuk : kamu xle le nak ikut suka kamu jerk....xtentu lagi kaler and design tuh sesuai ngan kamu....

and dunno how, i agreed wif my mak andam which then my dress turn out to be so gorgeous...for me la...for u all, lantak la...ade aku kesah...muahahah....i just tell her my brief concept for everything....
for pelamin i said to her, i want pink wif fresh flowers....
for wedding dress, i said i want songket for inner and pink lace on the outer...i want da pink lace kebaya to be long and meleret....and tangan nak cuff....but mak andam said, "hang tak berapa kurus (ayat nak amik hati)...kalo hang pakai kebaya labuh, nampak hang lagi berisi....lgpun baju nikah hang dah ade cekak tgn, sanding xyah la...."
for hantaran i said i want fresh flowers of roses and baby breath.....she said she'll add in ribbons....
then she asked how would da hantaran from groom be, i said since mine is flowers, from groom should be leaves la...
i just said that and i gave my total trust to her to deliver everything that i explained to her....and da results....................

da make-up for solemnization which i requested her to make me look ayu-ayu gitew....and i so in lurrvvee wif da fake eye lash....

da baju nikah which da kain i bought in euro moda...mak andam just designed for me...

and i lurve da button actually.....it was taken from da flower of this dress...nampak tak bunga-bunga pink tuh??tailor tuh potong and made it into buttons...so cute...lupe nak amik gamba....nie jerk yg ade...

nie hantaran pompuan...lavendar rose wif baby breath...supposed to be more roses but, since my wed falls on valentine, da roses is very2 limited...haihh.....

ni plak hantaran laki pd pompuan which da motive was leaves...and i like da idea of using daun paku pakis tuh....

ni bilik pengantin wif fresh flower as well.....

da reception dress both new from mak andam....i just lurrvvee mr hubby outfit...make him looks thin....at 1st mak andam said she couldn't make that outfit due to couldn't find da right colour...but then, mr hubby insist wanna have it, and we just confirm 5 days before da wed reception, and yet she can make it....

this is ma reception make-up looks like at 8:30 pm...i requested for natural look...

above are da pix of da pelamin.....

well gurls, she also accept booking from Klang Valley....but u hv to pay for her extra fuel....

My Wed Reception....

this is the continuance from this previous entry .....

i can't really remember wut time the akad nikah ceremony finished....wut i remembered was, lepas jerk tuka2 hantaran, xsempat pun nak amik gamba bedua pakai baju nikah....ha'ah, actually we didn't even remember bout taking picture wif our baju nikah....sbb masa nak exchange hantaran tuh, mak andam macam dah bg sign language to hurry up coz i need to prepare for the wedding reception plak....

so when da groom and his family depart back to their homestay, aku cecepat naik mandi and besiap tuk wedding reception....mekap dia kejap jerk, tp during da makeup, ramai plak org masuk bilik pengantin nak jumpe pengantin, aku plak time mekap mak andam soh pejam mata....so bile org dtg nak salam-salam, aku just hulur jerk tgn...and they have to introduce their self....and i'm soo sowwy bout that.....dah le before the make up, abg nana (the official cameraman) request mak andam tuk mekap aku dkt ngan sliding door...which i can sensed that mak andam tuh cam not realy keen on the suggestions....

dalam process............

and my lovely sis in-law, k linda pun macam berangan nak mekap gak....huhuhuhu....masa aku tgh mandi, mak andam mekap le dia....she just charged RM30 jerk....siap pakai bulu mata palsu yuh....tp dia pakai spec....xbawak contact lance...and the fake eye-lash only last for 30 mins jerk...sbb masa nak bg bunga telur dia xnampak org...macam meraban jerk...hahahaha....dia nie mengalami rabun yg teruk and she has to wear spectacles...so it has to be either spectacles or fake eye-lash....which then she had to choose spectacles sbb masa bg bunga telur dia macam tak kenal org....huhu...da evidence was found kat ground floor toilet...where she left the fake eye-lashes...huhu...K Linda, k linda....u're so funny....

the itinerary is for the groom to arraive by 1:00 pm....nak before zohor sbb xnak masa berarak tuh tgh azan....and, naseb baek le dpt kompang for the very last minute.....just imagine, if u read my previous entry, abang was da one who supposed to be in charge on the kompang....but Alhamdulillah dapat gak....and da funny part was, exactly before berarak, akak kompang tuh called me....she said, "amiriah kenal ke anak akak? nama dia shahrizal" i went "shahrizal mana erk kak?" she said, "shahrizal sekolah teknik..org panggil dia jibam..td masa akak nak kuar gi rumah amiriah, dia ckp dia pun nak gi kenduri..akak tanya kat mana? dia ckp kat silibin, rumah amiriah." then i went "hahaha..ye ker kak? kecik jek dunia nie kan? maknanyer dia pun dpt dtg la?"......bole plak sblm berarak tuh dia call nak bitau tuh jerk....

1:00 pm
to my surprise, the groom and da family arrive exactly at 1:00 pm...coz, if we recap back during my engagement, they were late for 3 hours....this time sgt punctual....we wanted to do at 1:00pm before zohor, so we have more time tuk bersanding, and taking photos....which i think is really gud idea....thanks to tok Zam for suggesting it...after all we planned for outdoor photo shoot after the receptions....so by 1:00pm, we went down to greet the groom and his family...

the groom doesn't wear any makeup at all...mak andam just went to him, spray so call a spary that will make him look fresh..tuh jerk...walaupun da mak andam is from taiping, but i'm sooooooooo very satisfied wif her service...will talk bout da mak andam in ma next post....after i greeted the groom, we straight away went to the meja beradap and mkn.....

da arrival of da groom.....which we have to stop da traffic sbb rombongan cam ramai....this is at da main road actually....

owh....i really dunno how to keep ma mouth shut....


dah bole kepit2 dah....

brother's love and sister's love....

2:00 pm
after the makan beradap we went inside the house for bersanding....kene mkn cepat2 coz kumpulan kompang was actually waiting for us to bersanding....huhuhu...i didn't noe...coz based on my brief discussion wif them, they said they will play 3 songs ms bersanding...and i mentioned we will eat 1st...then i expect them to play da kompang masa kitowang mkn beradap....and they said they will play da kompang at da porch...skalik masuk dlm rumah le plak....so rumah sudah jd sgt crowded....sampai my cousins and a few guest tepaksa get out of da house...but wut to do, xkan aku nak turun pelamin and whisper to them.....so, tepung tawar started wif my family, then followed by dad's siblings.....which i tot they'll stay after achu (the youngest of them all) tepung tawar to take a family photo....skalik derang terus balik le pulok.....next was by groom's family....da thing was, my mom's side of da family was soo memalu kucing which none if them tepung tawar....even da emcee called their names....

touched up b4 besanding....

this is all A2-1-1 that left......

3:30 pm
potong wedding cake ceremony....1st i mentioned to da committee to put da cake in da pocrh coz i plan to cut da cake there....tp mama (which da bakery who sponsored my wedding cake) put da cake by the meja mkn beradap....then tetibe masa nak potong tuh, da groom said "tunggu jap..i soh along amik something kat dlm bas".....ok...we waited...ingat ape, rupenyer amik confetti bottle....he planned masa potong cake tu kami dihujani oleh confetti....then bancik ckp, "kalo nak ade confetti, kene le potong cake kat open area....so, we carry da cake infront of da porch....just imagine potong cake at roofless area at 3:30pm....nasib baek mekap i tak cair...credit to mak andam again.....

da confetti idea was so brilliant....groom's own idea...

4:15 pm
da grooms family headed back to home stay, to check out...and da groom follows along sbb dia ckp dia tak kemas beg lagik...isk..isk..isk...very da bijak la da groom...usually, u will bring a long ur bags masa dtg umah pompuan td...xde le to carry da bag masa berarak...just standby in da bus...kalo amik jerk xpe...nie baru nak packing....cameraman is waiting coz we plan to do da outdoor shooting...so, while waiting for him tepaksa amik gamba aku berangan sowang kat dalam blk pengantin.....

5:00 pm
after asar baru le pegi amik outdoor shooting....da reason i was glad that i had ma menstrual during reception was, i dun have to wash off ma mekap sbb nak solat....i can have ma mekap sampai malam....huhuhu...pandai kan??? but this does not applicable to those who doesn't bother bout praying la.....da cameraman doesn't noe where to take us....kalo ikut aku, of course le i want to take da outdoor photo in tmn tasik taiping...tp bapak jauh la kan....gunung lang, cameraman said time nie awan dah xcantek.....so we end up going to Tmn DR....which not many photo were taken....end up we drag ourselves following da photographer....da reason was, terlampau ramai org kat Tmn DR sbb tpt nie ialah kawasan joging...and it's the time for it....and kat tmn tuh jerk ade another 3 wedding couple....actually i wanted da outdoor photo to be taken in nature....BUT.....trust me, listen to da professionals......very important!!!!! eventho it's ur big day and u want everything to be exactly like ur dream wedding which u already dreamed since 10 years old....but da professionals know better...it's their job....they have been doing it soo many times...it's their bread and butter....make sure u discuss wif them...tell them wut u want and ask for their opinions....always open for suggestions.....i did that.....

tgh sebok pikir punyer pikir mn nak amik outdoor photo, bancik called...dia ckp balik rumah sbb opah (my mom's mom) nak balik Bota dah....luckily Tmn DR is very near to ma house....so balik le....tp................sudahnyer dkt nak maghrib baru opah gerak...isk....ade ckit time wasted there.....

so cameraman kata, "kita balik mandi and solat dolu...kol 8:30 kitowang dtg balik tuk gi outdoor shooting."...at first i was so skeptical bout nite outdoor shooting....but, again i said...they are da professionals.....

again, da gud thing bout having menstrual during wed reception, u can have da mekap till nite....so, i just take a shower wif my head hail up high....xnak air kene mekap...touch up ckit, and wallah................siap.....

9:00 pm
we went to pekan ipoh near da padang ipoh.....again i said to maself "i want outdoor photo in nature..kat padang ipoh mn ade pape..nak amik gamba katner??" i was not really keen on the idea of da venue....tp, ikut jele.....but, it turn out to be like this and i really satisfied wif it....

this was just taken in da car park beside shop lot....

11:30 pm
we arrived home....everyone asleep accept my mom's foster kids....bancik plak dah terbungkang ditgh rumah...kesian derang....i wish i can assists da event....tp xle....so, tuka baju, amik kunci umah, bungkus wedding cake sbb onne sebok nak cake...then we went to homestay to pick up groom's stuffs and bekas2 hantaran.....and hanta da cake to onne la....they stayed at da homestay after da groom's family checked out....coz i booked da homestay for 2 days but they stayed for only 1 day....xnak membazir, bg le bebdk nie tido.....

we end our day somewhere around 2:oo am....terus tido la...xde OT sbb kilang tutup for a week....huhuhuhu.....

Mrs Feezie-to-be is Mrs Feezie now.....

13th Feb 2010 (Saturday)

Pengantin yg mmg tak dok diam....

14th Feb 2010 (Sunday)
giler ler...kol 7 pagi aku dah bangun....pasang cadar tuk wedding....tgh dok mandi, skalik Kak Kema (mak andam) dah ketuk pintu bilik air....soh cepat...huhuhu....terus mekap....then pakai baju nikah which the button yg kat tgn tuh tersgt le susahnyer nak pakai....kene gently coz senang tanggal benang dia....pas siap semua turun breakfast...lapo tuh...kalo tak mkn, mau time tgh menikah tuh aku pengsan....then, sempat le tgk final preparation of the hantaran...then bg pendrive my selected songs to be played during the wedding kat DJ which she didn't even play it...bole plak dia gi pasang lagu2 cinta melayu yg mengarut-ngarut dan sgt tak suka....then dia bole plak nak membebel-bebel...pasang lagu je sudah le...nie bukan station radio ok....

10:00 am - nikah
9:30 naek atas balik tuk standby bile pengantin laki dtg....i was not nervous, excited or freak out at all...ma feeling is just normal...biasa..xde perasan....lin (my bride's maid) and fatin (mak andam's daughter) yg teman aku kat dlm bilik pengantin tuh....it's almost 10 and encik tunang tak sampai lagik...aku setat le nak membebel...tetibe kak na (my younger cousin sister) ckp, "kak amy, makwe panggil turun"....huh??!!skalik pengantin dah sampai....at 1st i was supposed to sit on the pelamin, tetibe dok kat 2nd living hall....pelamin tuh jadik tpt encik tunang nak solat plak....pengantin and all the family dah dok relaks dah pun....peringatan!!! seelok-eloknyer nikah le kat masjid, kalo nak nikah kat umah pun, dok le dkt ngan kadi.....reason........kalo dok jauh dr kadi, masa khutbah nikah tuh, sepatah haram pun ko xkan dengar....sbb, mcm my situation...tgh dok nak pay attention to the khutbah tetibe, "amy, mak dia yg mana satu?"..."amy, mn satu adik dia?"..."amy, yg pakai baju hijau tuh sape?"....isk, rasa cam nak soh jerk kowang dok diam and dengar khutbah tuh ok....soooo, kesimpulannyer, sepatah haram pun aku tak dengar khutbah....which the hukum is harus for the brides....

ini adalah contoh distraction masa nak dengar khutbah..huhu....

org diam bile tgh nak akad jerk....time menunggu nie baru le perasaan nervous dtg....nervous, takut, nak nangis...semua ade....dengan satu lafaz, Alhamdulillah aku sah jadik Puan Amiriah or Mrs Feezie....and, as expected, air mata pun berjuraian.....huhuhu....

kami dinikahkan oleh my own brother..which i insist....

saat dimana doa paling dimakbulkan...Insyaallah....

Saat memilukan when it's time for your mother to finally let go of her lil gurl to someone else....
