And yesterday...marks the day!


What about it? finally...finally...my sister asked 'hey budak2 (referring to me & donat), now sudah April..ape cerita ni? takde prepare2 utk wedding pun!'

hihihihi...as usual my PA will answer that for me...and as usual I will giggle - sometimes when I'm in shock mode, I will giggle...I don't know why...weird! so...ok..wedding preparation, hmmm...how to start? I must say...I have prepared...but only on the photographer :P I have booked him for the entire month of December - I might have outdoor session, pre wedding, post wedding, during the wedding, interrim wedding, next to the tong sampah shoot, behind a bus shoot, on top of the flagpole shoot, on top of the roof shoot, under the bridge shoot, inside mcd shoot... :P so I booked him for the entire month! He shot our tunang2 event and I must say I like his work compared to the famous name outside - it's just a brand people! and some people, they shoot great pictures, yes..nice pictures but it's only due the array of lens that they own...! I prefer a friend to shoot me rather than some new stranger that i hi-ed and rub shoulder with just to get good price and the sake of being friend with self proclaimed professional photographer :)

and if you ask me what will be my criteria for a photographer - I have only 1 simple answer...he's using Canon and at least 5D MK II or the 1D MK III and above range! why Canon? I really like the tone that came out of it..no offense but if you asked a Nikon user..they will say the colour is weak and Nikon is bright and bold...and I will definitely ask them back - is that the real colour of the object? verry red..or yellow...and of course..followed by silence...no offense people..this is a free country...I can write whatever I want (even if I know there are a few restrictions as well...duh) and check out 5D MK II skin tone colour...it's mouth watering and flattering to the eyes!

and why a canon with the word MK MK MK...not MK Land for sure! :) it's full frame camera! what is a full frame camera? the sensor is way much bigger than the apsc (correct ah?) sensor - 35mm...and for me MK (pronounce as mark)...marks the success of a person...---rich brats who don't pay for their own camera is not counted here...sorry ---
full frame camera really really have a huge difference in the image that it produce...and I loooove love it! with a price tag of at least 9k...I think I'll pass for now...even there is a burning desire for it...but still no inferno..i am still safe..but husaini..please don't lend me your camera or else I will hate mine :)

so that's about camera...ooops...I think I wanted to write about my wedding prep...and now...I'm talking about camera....ok ok...back to wedding...truth is :

1- I hate wedding with more than 300 people...200 is a nice figure...
2- I hate people that I don't even know attending my wedding...
3- I hate uninvited people coming to my wedding
4- I hate open wedding, I wanted a close reception where everybody will enjoy the after party together (not just datang makan please)
5- I hate tradition...seriously...don't you all think it's wasting time and money for it? And I think 99% of weddings out there is more or less a traditional wedding...I don't think 1% of the rebel can ruined or end a tradition...
6- I hate henna (can I just not wear it?) and again it's tradition...people will talk behind your back if you don't put these on...and talking behind people's back is also tradition..don't forget that! LOL
7- I hate opinions...I only want it when I ask ok? especially from someone I don't even know...
8- And hey, what's the thing with sponsoring the hantaran (gifts) and adding up more hantaran than it should be?? This part..I think it's absurd!
DO NOT
RUINED OTHER PEOPLE'S HANTARAN JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE PART OF IT WHERE IT ACTUALLY DOESN'T MATCH THE REST....OR COST ONLY A DIME! you had your time..so get over with it..move on!

Owh...this has gone way too long...and I must stop at once or else I will fall asleep only by typing my own blog :P

final word..I don't think I will be posting my prep stuff over in my blog..cos thinking about it makes me tired...and I just wish for a small and sweet wedding...surprised?..but that's me..I would try to avoid big scale wedding if I can even if I have all the money in the world!

It's not the event, it's the people that makes it meaningful....

Pica above was shot early in the morning = swollen eye :P
