Bandung... Day 1

There were sooo many laces.... all photos are taken at one of the shops inside the Pasar baru...

Lace yang kat beheaded mannequin ni sungguh... canteeekkk

..and all these.....

and these......

and .....akak yang kepenatan, berehat di sofa nan empuk bersama-sama dengan beg-begnya...

... and the owner of the kedai yang melambai-lambai kegembiraan sebab dapat duit berjuta-juta rupiah.... and the customer (the bride-to-be) yang tersenyum kelat sebab duit dah banyak abis...

..the restroom yang bersih nan indah dengan pohon buluh lagi....

The AirAsia landed at the Bandara Husien Sasteranegara Bandung at about 11 a.m. local time (my watch was still Malaysian time 12 noon, late by one hour), our supir Asep was already waiting for us with a card board stating my sister's name on it..

We reached our hotel, unloading our bags and checked in. After the qasar and jamak done, we off to Pasar Baru. Our supir parked the mpv at the complex parking lot at Lantai 7. As we all tak lunch lagi... so apa lagi we search for our lunch. Our supir recommended a restaurant at Lantai 6. We ordered nasi goreng and fruit juices. The nasi goreng were soooo sedap and so were the juices. But the supir ordered something different... lupa namanya tapi something macam kita punya nasi dengan kangkung goreng belacan but ada additional rencah... pun sedap banget..

The funny thing was... finally we all dok kecek kangkung goreng belacan pak supir tu sebab punyalah sedapnya... ok enough bab makan-makan...

After makan, our headache begun..... punyalah banyak kedai jual kain lace.... cantik-cantik semuanya (above photos)... we were there until kedai tutup at about 7 p.m. local time.


.....to be continued......

Di awan nan biru...

.Sebenarnya.. entry ni dah lama (basi..) tapi I still want to post it...

Cuba teka.... high ....over the rainbow... blue sky... ke manakah gerangan destinasi saya..??

nak landing dah....

the padi fields... cantikkan... macam kat Kedah je... no...

mana lagi... destinasinya kalau nak buat persiapan untuk wedding... Bandung...
.
Almaklumlah tak lama lagi is Adik's wedding... so... we all adik-beradik had planned earlier to fly to Bandung. Sambil jalan-jalan bolehlah shopping barang-barang for the wedding. If you ask me whether worth going as far as Bandung to search for the wedding preaparations, I would say... terpulanglah pada yang empunya diri... apa yang nak dibeli...
.
As for us, the 3D 2N trip to Bandung was sooooo tiring (happy) ... we almost got what we wanted... Oh lupa... one tip ...you must have a proper checklist of things to search/buy before you go. Start browsing of the things over here before going there..
.
InsyaAllah I will share some of the photos while we shopped (like crazy) for laces, wedding favor, nikah favor etc. over there.... murah banget...
.
Lupa nak mention.. we were there last month... dah sebulan dah... baru sekarang boleh story mory...

Wedding preparation...

Of course it's not mine... I've been married to my beloved husband for 17 years this coming August. Right now if you were to ask me what's the project for 2010... I would give a list of to do things for the upcoming Adik's majlis nikah on 26 March 2010.

My new year of 2010 began with the Majlis Bertunang of my youngest sister on the 2nd January 2010. Asalnya pihak lelaki nak datang merisik dulu... tapi last minute they decided to make it as bertunang as well. We, pihak perempuan, complaint almost nothing but agreed. We rushed to Nilai 3 for the hantarans. Thinking of it, bagus jugak, sebab it been years since my first trip to Nilai 3. We (me and almost all in the family, including our children and adik and fiance-to-be) had fun in Nilai 3 in fact.
.
Our cousin, Kak Ah was sooo kind to hand her expertise to help us with the hantarans. So, we can concentrated on the bertunang menu. Percaya tak, we all masak sendiri kat rumah and tak de langsung menempah. The majlis was held at about 4.30 p.m and the menu was:
.
1. Roti Jala (my brother, Lofty and his wife yang 'menjala' and later other cousins pun tolong)
2. Kari Ayam (of course! I was the cook - 1 periuk besar - almost 4 ekor ayam!)
3. Fried Meehoon with Prawn (Adik her self the fiancee-to-be yang menggoreng - 2 kuali besar tau!!)
4. Kuih muih (makcik Kamsah yang buat - karipap and pulut seri muka - sodap !!)
5. Dessert - Agar-agar santan (prepared by kak Ah - super sedap !!)
6. Hot drink - tea
7. Fruit - omg, we forgotten!!
.
All the above were for about over 70 peoples and the bertunang favors were a small pouch of chocolates. Overall, the majlis turned out Alhamdulillah OK, enough food, even for tapau and everyone was happy especially Adik!
.
The photographer - sampaikan 3 orang including my husband.
..
Oops lupa the tetamu were:
1. Cousins - Kak Ah & husband, Haris & Shidah, Rohaya & husband,
2. Arwah mak's close friends - Kak Falah & husband and Auntie Bibah & husband
3. Aunties and uncles and grandmother
4. Kak Anim & husband
5. Pihak rombongan lelaki - about 30 peoples
.
I'll upload the photos later tonite. Kat ofis tak leh upload photo. Leceh betul la!
