Assalamualaikum semua,
Hohoho..lamenye tak update blog..almaklumlah..masuk je tahun baru aritu, busy mengalahkan PM uolss..haha(walaupun tak de orang baca blog aku,tp ada aku kesah?hehe)
Banyaknya benda nak sembang dalam blog ni..tp satu2 lah yek..
Yang busy aritu bukan apa..tengah bulan aritu kitorang satu family pergi Medan untuk cari kain untuk adik ahkak yang nak kawin bulan 4 nnt.hehe
Just nak citer la kan, before ahkak pergi Medan tu, ahkak ada la jumpa this one designer ni untuk tanyakan baju kaftan ahkak tu nanti, on the design, jenis kain and all lah. Before jumpa tu, memang dah buat appointment nak jumpa, so hari yang tersebut tu ahkak pergi la jumpa.
But how frustrated I was,because actually there is nothing to discuss. Padahal dalam email tu ahkak da cakap yang ahkak nak jumpa discuss without bringing the material so ahkak ingtkan bolehlah discuss on design ke apa. Dia pulak tak bagitahu procedure yang dia cuma akan sketch bila ahkak bawak material. Then dia akan quote harga semua tu.
Takde la ahkak salahkan dia, cuma ahkak rasa sangat membazir masa pergi ke Bangsar tu tapi at the end apa yang dia cakap dengan ahkak beli kain chiffon 6 meter. That's it. Actually, ahkak tak kesah kalau dia sketch dulu then quote harga, sebab ahkak memang nak ambik dia. Meaning ahkak terus bayar deposit hari tu jugak. Sebab bagi ahkak, kain tu more or less the same kalau chiffon tu kan. Say la ada perubahan design, just tukar je la kan. And I believe kalau tukar, it will not be major.
So, ahkak rasa confused sangat. Mmmm..nak teruskan ke tak? Last-last ahkak decide tak pelah. Buat dengan orang lain. Dia quote starting price for kaftan RM 400. Which for me, for a famous designer like her, still ok la harga tu kan. Its ok lah, ahkak dah jumpa this one boutique dekat shah alam yang boleh wat kaftan jugak. Tapi tak pergi lagi je. Dia quote murah sikit. RM190+. Tapi ahkak tengok design dia pun boleh tahan jugak.Meaning tak lah nampak tak professional ke apa. Nanti pergi jumpa dia. Sebab busyyyyyyyyy sangat oiiiiiiiii..hahaha
Ok nanti ahkak update pasal trip to Medan. Maybe I have to do more than one post about Medan. Apa yang ahkak boleh kata, memang best la. Pergi pulak dengan whole family. 10 orang. Memang meriah habis lah.hehehe
Ok daaaaa.. nnt i update lagi k..insyaAllah dalam masa terdekat. :)

REVIEW WEDDING : OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER PART 2
Seperti dijanjikan, ahkak nak review ahkak nye OP. So, cana ahkak boleh hire ahkak punya OP?ambik masa jugak nak confirm diorang ni. Tapi tak lama.Dalam seminggu lebih cam tu ahkak da settle.
Macam ahkak cakap in Part 1, ahkak PM all dalam Facebook to know their price range. Ahkak tanya kat diorang a) Available tak on 20.4.2013 b) Berapa harga untuk 2 events(as ahkaknye nikah+reception sekali) c) Apa yang ahkak dapat. Time ni almost all the photogs were having promotion. Price stated as 2013 ye. So, this was their reply :
1) Kudegraphy and CST(if i'm not mistaken) - RM2,500/event + Mileage + Accomodation
They were available on my date.
2) Foto by Razali - RM1,800/event + Mileage+Accomodation
They were not available on my date
For Kudegraphy and CST memang tak mampu dek non. Foto by Razali pulak tak available. Sedeyh.
So, ahkak follow this two photogs in FB. Peveyhack and Ministry of Moment. Peveyhack always update but they usually didn't put their price. As MOM, they have promotion at that time and they put there RM1000/events. Any inquiries, kindly call/whatsapp 01X-XXXXXX. Memang murah kan. Apa lagi, terus je ahkak whatsapp dia. Macamana nak proceed. The person in charge that time was En. Hafaz. He asked me to come to their office at Bandar Tasik Permaisuri,Cheras so we can discuss further.
So, I went there with my ex housemate as my husband that time susah keluar office. My exhousemate ni tau jugak pasal photography. So, memang bagus la kan bawak dia nih. Hehehe. So, bila da sampai sana, tengok-tengok la album dia. Gambar-gambar dia ambik semua cantik-cantik. Memang cantik. Diorang ambik gambar Umie Aida, Tomok, Ella and few celebrities lagi. I thought yang ambik tu dia punya Pricipal, Syafiq Akmal but no, it was their Senior Photographer.
Senior photographer pun dah meleps kan. Even my ex housemate tu pun cakap memang cantik dia punyer gambar. You all can just Google-->Images and tengok sendiri hasil dia.
My package (RM1000/event):
1) 1 custom album(saiz M-I don't know the exact measurement.hahaha)
2) After ceremony potraiture
3) Unlmited pictures
4) DVD
5) 1 senior photographer
Mileage
1) 437.5km approximate(return) x RM0.80 = RM350. Yang ni bayar on the event date.
No Accomodation as the photographers arrived on the same day.(ada cerita menarik)
Their photographers will be wear MOM uniform. Diorang pakai kemas la. You can request them to pakai baju Melayu if your event to formal.
So, sebab murahkan, ahkak ambik 2 event la, since nikah+reception sekali kan. So, everything double up except for mileage sebab sekali pergi je. And diorang ada another promo, upgrade custom album to XL size tambah RM400. XL size memang besar keh. Memang berkenan abis.hehe. Because ni promotion and for the purpose to lock the date, I've to pay 80% depo. Banyakkan?? Ahkak mula-mula contemplated jugak as banyak tu nak keluar sekali harung tapi my exhousemate cakap just amik je lah, nanti dah tak payah fikir. Ahkak cakap kat En.Hafaz, ahkak balik fikir dulu dan discuss dengan husband.
After discussed dengan husband, dia pun memula tak setuju sebab banyak nak keluar untuk tapi bila fikir dah tak payah fikir, akhirnya dia setuju. Excited!haha. So, ahkak pergi MOM balik a week later and pay the 80% deposit. Phewwww. Alhamdulillah. Then the balance bayar time printing album.
On the solemnization+reception day
So, I think 2 weeks before the big day, MOM emailed me and asked me to confirm again the address and date. After that they gave me the photographer's name, En. Iqbal and satu lagi Haziq. Haziq ni dari Brunei.
A day before the wedding Iqbal texted me and asked about the arrangement macamana. Since ahkak punya makeup start at 8 am(nikah at 10am), so diorang kena ada kat Kuantan around 7.30 am lah. Memang diorang sangat punctual. They came time nak makeup. Rupa-rupanya diorang sampai kat Kuantan kul 4 am, tidur dalam kereta. Sian giler kot. Itu lah ahkak macam pelik sebab diorang kata they need accomodation tapi tak message ahkak diorang sampai kul berapa and kat mana.
Siap breakfast lagi kat luar. Ahkak cakap la, ngapa tak datang umah je, makan kat sini je. Diorang cakap segan.hehehe. Bagus tak?
Since ahkak amik 2 events so ada 2 photographers. So memang ok lah. Memang banyak gambar. So petang after reception, diorang tanya nak wat outdoor kat mana. Ahkak pun tak tahu mana lagi, since ahkak suka pantai, we just head to Teluk Cempedak. Hhehe. Husband pun suka situ. Memang seksa dengan pakai dress meleret and heels(walau tak tinggi mana) kene jalan jauh. Ni semua kerja photog ye(Iqbal). Malu tak usah cakap lah. Kemain ramai orang tgk. Wat bodoh tapi malu gilerrrrrrrrrrr. Tu la nak sangat g public place kan. Dengan aksi-aksi pelik diorang suh buat. Iqbal boleh tanya 'Ni baju sewa ke buat?' Ahkak blur-blur jawabla 'buat'...then dia dah angkat-angkat kening dengan haziq..bergambar dalam air!!!Macam keji sangatkan.Abis baju berpasir n basah.haha.Tapi best jugakla. :) Nasib ahkak bawak Maid of Honor ahkak masa tu. Bolehlah dia tolong pegang benda-benda yang patut.hehehe. Nasib tak de posing2 cium2.bahaha. Ahkak rasa dia pun segan kut kalau ahkak wat camtuh. Yang ahkak tak leh nak lupa, ada pelancong Cina dari Singapore ambik gambar dengan kitorg, katanya good luck untuk diorang. Mesra abeh pelancong tu. Kitorg layankan jela walaupun segan giler.Hahaha. Rasa cam artis je.kihkihkih.
After habis shooting, abis lewat jugak dalam kul 7 cam tuh(semayang asar+zuhur burn eh, teruk betul ahkak kan) terus balik rumah. Angkut sekali Iqbal dengan kawan dia tu, suh diorang rehat jap seblum balik KL. Ahkak balik rumah mandi, qada' sembahyang then hidang la apa-apa yang ada kat rumah. Malangnya makanan tak de. Sebab reception buat kat hotel. So tak tapau makanan dari hotel tu. Rugi betul. Ada pulut kuning je. So, itu je lah yang kitorg hidang. Sian kat diorang.
Pas diorang solat kitorg borak-borak sikit. Rupanya Iqbal tu wat part time. Kerja bank jugak dia.(Time tu ahkak masih lagi dengan Bank Sotong) hihi.Dalam kul 10 macam tu, diorang baru gerak. Sebelum diorang gerak balik, kitorg bagi yang duit mileage RM350 tu. Mileage diorang agak mahal la, tapi ahkak ok je since mutu kerja yang memuaskan.hehe. Yang penting, ahkak puas hati dengan service diorang.
After solemnization+reception day
One week after wedding, diorang punya designer call and cakap they will send raw pics yang dah dikecilkan untuk ahkak pilih gambar mana ahkak nak letak dalam album and check the design dengan tulisan. Apa yang salah sebelum diorang print. Adalah yang kena adjust here and there. Ahkak ambik masa dalam 1 minggu lebih untuk pilih gambar-gambar tu since banyak giler ke gambar. Mau dekat 3000 keping. Fuhhhh.
So, after dah pilih gambar ahkak kena bayar for the remaining balance. Ahkak bayar lewat sikit sebab gaji tak masuk lagi time tu. hahaha. Bila ahkak dah bayar balance baru diorang print. Print tu tak lama, dalam 3 hari dah siap. So, weekend tu ahkak amik la.
Bila tunjuk kat member-member and family, diorang sume cakap gambar lawa. Ada member sorang tu sebab diorang tgk gambar ahkak lawa, dia pun book jugak. Hehehe. Tapi dia package lain la sebab time tu dah lain harga. Adik ahkak yang nak kahwin April ni pun ambik diorang sebab memang professional. Puas hati. Adala dalam 3-4 orang family and friends yang amik diorang ni.
Ni website dia MOM. Pergi la sana k. Facebook pun taip je Ministry of Moment.
As MOM bagi gambar raw, ni yang edited. Dia edit yang letak dalam album je. Ye la, takkan nak edit 3000 gambar kot.hahaha
Nah layan gambo:
Apa-apa boleh comment kat bawah ye!

REVIEW WEDDING : OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER PART 1
Assalamualaikum semua,
Hari ni baru lah sempat nak update blog. Weekend busy(apa yang busy sangat aku pun tak tahu..bahaha) pastu semalam macam biasa la kan..baru masuk kerja lepas new year adalah few reports need to be done. Tapi don't worry semuanya ahkak da settle kan.Hihihi.
As per post's title, ahkak nak review pasal official photog. For your info, OP is the first vendor yang ahkak book date. Why??Sebab tau-tau jelah photog ni, dia punyer schedule sama macam bridal, kalau lambat memang menangis. Especially yang bagus-bagus kan. Bagi ahkak, photog sangat-sangatla penting dalam sesuatu majlis especially wedding sebab diorang nih yang akan bertanggungjawab untuk kita menyimpan kenangan selama-lamanya. SELAMA-LAMANYA okeh! hehe
Ahkak book photog ni almost 7 months before the wedding. Haaaa awal giler takk??hehe. Ahkak memang peminat Kudegraphy(paling minat), CST(of course la kan), Foto by Razali, Mukhris & Udey Latif, Peveyheck and Ministry of Moment. Just to name a few la. Ini antara photog2 yang ada team besar. Maksudnya diorang ada ramai photographer yang boleh buat kerja dan pada masa yang sama mengekalkan identiti masing-masing.
Ahkak memang ada PM diorang semua dekat facebook tanya harga except for Foto by Razali sebab dia dah letak dalam blog dia tarikh yang dia available dan tak available, but I ended up email dia jugak. Tehehe.
Tips to ask photog :
1) You MUST ask about their availability on your date. It's useless you asked about the price first and say lah you ok with the price but suddenly they are not available on your wedding date. That is why it is important to stick to your wedding date unless emergency happen.
2) When you ask them to quote you the price , you have to give some basic info like a)how many events you're having b)where is the event going to be held and c)any extra charges.
3) Usually, if the photogs have some kind of promotion, they will have some terms and conditions. Like pay 50% - 80% depo. Usually, the big names are very professional, so don't worry they won't cheat your money. InsyaAllah.This is their reputation and periuk nasi.
4) If you have the time(if you don't have, find it!haha), heads up to their office and see some samples. This is VERY-VERY IMPORTANT because what you see in Facebook/Blog/Instagram is not going to be the same with the physical album. Take a look at the samples, feel and touch with your own hand. Then you know their quality.
5) Ask about what the package is all about. What they cover and what they did not cover. You don't want to make your own assumptions as it might differs from what you expecting. When discussing, ask about other possibilities. You'll never know what you will get. :)
6) For couple that want to hire KL based photographer but your event will be held at your hometown say Kuala Terengganu, clarify on the Mileage and Accomodation and other chargers for the photographers. If you can't afford to pay the Mileage and Accomodation,(it can be costly but still depends on you) you can find photographers from your hometown.
You want to take professional photographer on your big day because :
1) InsyaAllah, there will be no hanky panky. All straight to the point. Customer satisfaction comes first for them.
2) They are professional. They know their job. It's not like you can rely 100% but probably the basic things they can do. But still you have to give direction in what you want on your big day.
So, there you are. The tips that I can share with you.
I will write about my OP in Part 2. Things that happened on my Big Day. :)

TIPS TO CHOOSE WEDDING DRESS DESIGNER/TAILOR
Assalamualaikum semua,
Hari ni ahkak nak bagi tips sikit macamana nak pilih designer or even tailor yang akan jahit baju korang. Iye lah kan dalam banyak-banyak benda dalam wedding of course baju lah yang PALING PENTING. Korang mesti dah berangan kan nak pakai dress ala-ala Cinderella, paling kurang macam Kate Middleton or tak pun baju Rozita Che Wan(glamer gila baju dia..ahkak tak berkenan sangat tapi the detailing untuk baju-baju dia memang so fineeeee) Yang ahkak tengok baju-baju nikah/reception dress kat Malaysia nih masih lagi suka menggunakan fabric chiffon as it gives the demure and flowy effect. Of course la time kita kahwin kita nak kita paling cantikkan?hehehe.
Ahkak personally suka sangat Elie Saab. Suka sangat-sangat. Sebab baju-baju dia simple but yet very intriguing especially on the detailing. Simple yet sophisticated and elegant. One thing about Elie Saab yang ahkak suka, dia punya wedding dress tak banyak yang strapless, dia banyak jugak yang ada short sleeve and long sleeve, so bila kita tengok, kita pun rasa maybe kita boleh amik sikit idea dia. Sebab kebanykan Western designers memang banyak like almost 100% strapless. So, susah kita nak ambil inspirasi dari situ.
Dah abis nangis dah tengok baju-baju tuh?Kalau nak sambung nangis, sila lah Google ye.hehehe
Dah abis tengok baju-baju tu, so here the tips :
1) Korang kena cari design mana yang korang berkenan. Tak kisahlah from local or foreign designer. Yang penting kena betul-betul cari yang berkenan di hati. Tapi berkenan tak bermaksud sesuai dengan kita. Since kebanyakan bride-to-be ni datang dengan pelbagai saiz, cari design yang boleh menutup kelemahan badan(unless you are comfortable with your body) dan design yang can compliment your body. This is important.
2) Once dah dapat design yang nak tuh, survey kat Google, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, kawan-kawan, adik beradik, sedara mara designer/tailor yang boleh jahit baju kahwin. One thing you have to know tailor and designer is different. Tailor kebanyakannya boleh menjahit sahaja so kalau korang datang dengan design-design yang complicated, maybe diorang tak boleh buat. They may say that they can sew, but most probably the outcome will not be as what you expected. Kalau designer, they will sketch design according to your body type and what kind of material they will use(chhiffon and lace for example). But of course, it will be pricey. So, if your selected design is very-very simple like baju kurung, then you can sent to tailor, if not better hantar kat designer. Kalau nak sewa, then tak yah pening-pening. Kalau sewa-beli, meaning the designer or boutique will design a new design and you will pay the dress like you buy it, but after the ceremony you will have to return it back to the boutique.
3) Tak kisahla baju yang korang pilih simple or complicated design, you have to convey it to the tailor/designer that you want your dress to be like that. The outcome of your dress is depending on how good your designer/tailor. As for ahkak punya experience, my nikah outfit exceed my expectation and as for my reception dress, the outcome is less than expectation. Boleh tengok sini for my nikah outfit story and here for my reception dress story.
4) Sebelum make any agreement with tailor/designer ask them about the price. This is the most important part as you must have your own budget kan? Some designer can work with your budget, some can't. So, kalau agak-agak designer tu caj mahal sangat and tak boleh work with your budget, sila lah blah dari butik dia or kedai dia.hehehe. And be ready with any additional charge. Tapi kebiasaannya they(designer/tailor)will stick to your budget. Jangan malu-malu with your budget. Bukan nak menghina sesiapa, tapi kalau bajet RM500 untuk all in maksudnya termasuk design, workmanship, kain dan detailing and korang pergi Hatta Dolmat, rasanya dia suh tambah lagi RM2,000. Hhehe. So cari designer/tailor yang bersesuaian dengan bajet korang keh. Korang memang kena rajin survey. Jangan malas!
5) After dah decide on design, color and price, so designer/tailor akan start their work. Walaupun maybe kita tempah dengan tailor/designer yang dah biasa dengan kita, kita still have to remind them on our outfit sebab korang have to remember that you are not the only customer that they have, so try to get update as much as possible. Kita akan tahu designer tu buat kerja when we asked them bout the progress they can answer all questions and within 3 weeks-1month they will ask us to come for first fitting. Jangan hantar lambat sangat at least 3 months before the ceremony. Why 3 months?Because you want more time so that kalau ada apa-apa, boleh betulkan. And never ever tell the tailor/designer your reall wedding date, kalau boleh awalkan date tu sebab banyak cerita yang designer/tailor buat very last minute. Haru oh kalau lambat. Sebab banyak lagi benda kita nak buatkan.
So tu je tips ahkak nak share di hari Jumaat yang mulia ni.
Nantikan tips-tips yang lain k!

Korang mesti dah berangan kan nak pakai dress ala-ala Cinderella, paling kurang macam Kate Middleton or tak pun baju Rozita Che Wan(glamer gila baju dia..ahkak tak berkenan sangat tapi the detailing untuk baju-baju dia memang so fineeeee) Yang ahkak tengok baju-baju nikah/reception dress kat Malaysia nih masih lagi suka menggunakan fabric chiffon as it gives the demure and flowy effect. Of course la time kita kahwin kita nak kita paling cantikkan?hehehe.
Ahkak personally suka sangat Elie Saab. Suka sangat-sangat. Sebab baju-baju dia simple but yet very intriguing especially on the detailing. Simple yet sophisticated and elegant. One thing about Elie Saab yang ahkak suka, dia punya wedding dress tak banyak yang strapless, dia banyak jugak yang ada short sleeve and long sleeve, so bila kita tengok, kita pun rasa maybe kita boleh amik sikit idea dia. Sebab kebanykan Western designers memang banyak like almost 100% strapless. So, susah kita nak ambil inspirasi dari situ.

Dah abis tengok baju-baju tu, so here the tips :
1) Korang kena cari design mana yang korang berkenan. Tak kisahlah from local or foreign designer. Yang penting kena betul-betul cari yang berkenan di hati. Tapi berkenan tak bermaksud sesuai dengan kita. Since kebanyakan bride-to-be ni datang dengan pelbagai saiz, cari design yang boleh menutup kelemahan badan(unless you are comfortable with your body) dan design yang can compliment your body. This is important.
2) Once dah dapat design yang nak tuh, survey kat Google, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, kawan-kawan, adik beradik, sedara mara designer/tailor yang boleh jahit baju kahwin. One thing you have to know tailor and designer is different. Tailor kebanyakannya boleh menjahit sahaja so kalau korang datang dengan design-design yang complicated, maybe diorang tak boleh buat. They may say that they can sew, but most probably the outcome will not be as what you expected. Kalau designer, they will sketch design according to your body type and what kind of material they will use(chhiffon and lace for example). But of course, it will be pricey. So, if your selected design is very-very simple like baju kurung, then you can sent to tailor, if not better hantar kat designer. Kalau nak sewa, then tak yah pening-pening. Kalau sewa-beli, meaning the designer or boutique will design a new design and you will pay the dress like you buy it, but after the ceremony you will have to return it back to the boutique.
3) Tak kisahla baju yang korang pilih simple or complicated design, you have to convey it to the tailor/designer that you want your dress to be like that. The outcome of your dress is depending on how good your designer/tailor. As for ahkak punya experience, my nikah outfit exceed my expectation and as for my reception dress, the outcome is less than expectation. Boleh tengok sini for my nikah outfit story and here for my reception dress story.
4) Sebelum make any agreement with tailor/designer ask them about the price. This is the most important part as you must have your own budget kan? Some designer can work with your budget, some can't. So, kalau agak-agak designer tu caj mahal sangat and tak boleh work with your budget, sila lah blah dari butik dia or kedai dia.hehehe. And be ready with any additional charge. Tapi kebiasaannya they(designer/tailor)will stick to your budget. Jangan malu-malu with your budget. Bukan nak menghina sesiapa, tapi kalau bajet RM500 untuk all in maksudnya termasuk design, workmanship, kain dan detailing and korang pergi Hatta Dolmat, rasanya dia suh tambah lagi RM2,000. Hhehe. So cari designer/tailor yang bersesuaian dengan bajet korang keh. Korang memang kena rajin survey. Jangan malas!
5) After dah decide on design, color and price, so designer/tailor akan start their work. Walaupun maybe kita tempah dengan tailor/designer yang dah biasa dengan kita, kita still have to remind them on our outfit sebab korang have to remember that you are not the only customer that they have, so try to get update as much as possible. Kita akan tahu designer tu buat kerja when we asked them bout the progress they can answer all questions and within 3 weeks-1month they will ask us to come for first fitting. Jangan hantar lambat sangat at least 3 months before the ceremony. Why 3 months?Because you want more time so that kalau ada apa-apa, boleh betulkan. And never ever tell the tailor/designer your reall wedding date, kalau boleh awalkan date tu sebab banyak cerita yang designer/tailor buat very last minute. Haru oh kalau lambat. Sebab banyak lagi benda kita nak buatkan.
So tu je tips ahkak nak share di hari Jumaat yang mulia ni.
Nantikan tips-tips yang lain k!
