The band

He reminded me to put up a post on my wedding ring. Thanks, yoU! Well, the reason why it's 'my' wedding ring, and not 'ours', simply because he doesn't wear rings and doesn't feel like having 1. So, respecting his decision, I'm luring the diamonds and gold all to myself. Ngeee.

So we were having our normal outing last month. While at our favourite shopping mall, there's a huge booth at the centre court so we thought we might check it out. Well, who knew, it was our (or was it my?) lucky day! The Habib Jewel Diamond Fest exhibition had 2 days left before it ends and like I've mentioned in the previous post, we were not looking for wedding rings anytime soon because we're gonna wait for the Raya Promotion. But hey, there's a beautiful ring in front of us, with marvellous discount, who can resist that? So my darling bought me that one piece jewellery which was on sale, 70% discount, and he also bought me a pair of pearl ear ring, to complete my pearl jewellery set. Weee~

The price of the ring? Erm, let me just tell you that the original price was very close to a 5 figure amount, and 70% off was totally worth it. Plus, his mother wanted so much for the ring to be standout and 'big'. Yes, she did mention the word 'besar'. So, not to disappoint her (chewah, padahal memang nak), we took that 1 out of the last 3 pieces left, and I went back with a huge smile, while he went back with sweaty forehead and a long sigh.

So to all of you out there who's getting married, do remember to wait for Habib's mega sale to buy rings/jewelleries before your big day. It's also a great idea to buy gold during this season, and when you're going to buy a real gift, simply trade in the gold you've bought during the sale. A dear friend did that and I think it's simply brilliant. Play around with the idea, yeah? Start budgeting now!

Hehe.

That's why I lev yuh. :*

Mix and match!

Yesterday, I went to colour-hunting with Nad, since she's the fabric-sifu. Like I've told her earlier, I've shortlisted my choice of colour to turquoise. The problem was to look for what type of turquoise. And I am quite happy with what we've found. The colour combination (so far) is gonna be turquoise - peach - gray. Hmm.

We also stopped by at some jewelery shops to check out some ring designs. Everything is still under (his) budget. So need not to worry about that. But anyways, if you are wondering when is the perfect time to buy ring, the answer is now till 02 May 2010. Good news for all bride-to-bes, Habib Jewel is having Habib Diamond Fest '10. But what does it really mean? Does 'fest' equals to 'discounts'? I certainly hope so. And I'm hoping for a big one! Woohoo~ But of course, I have to wait for him to get back here, since the promo will be held till another month. Where I think most of the good ones are sold, already. *sobsob*

So we're going to Bandung, Indonesia to hunt for souvenirs and fabrics for family and friends. We also checked out a few money changer, yesterday. The one in SS15 (same row as Maybank), gave us RM373 for 1 juta Rupiah. When we checked at MidValley, it was RM369. Weehoo. Gonna check at a few other places more before doing that final exchange. *ka-ching!*

Let me just list out the things to buy, here, before I forget myself.

I'm buying ...
  • Anak tudung and tudung for all 3 events (nikah, reception 01, reception 02)
  • Shoe for reception 02
  • Souvenirs for high table
  • Favours (still craving for the ones from Bali, but am still open for options)
  • Card (finalizing the design)
  • Fabrics for Bridesmaids and few family members
  • T-shirt for him (takde kene mengene langsung)
(I think) LadyBoss is buying ...
  • Souvenirs for family members
  • Favours for that 'surprise' event
And that is all, I guess. Well, we have not really sit down and discuss what to buy and so on. Will do it, today! Heee. Calculating ... calculating ... But my money is still not yet in. How great is that? Well, let's just pray that everything turns out fine! And most importantly, to bring enough cash and no excess luggage, please!

Insya-Allah. :)
