Adieanna ~ Hantaran version

Yes, I know.. I know.. like my PhD, I've also been procastinating on the entry of the first big family event hehe..

Its a month and a day now since I officially gained a new sister. Suke² hehe.. but too many photos to choose from and too little time kan so I decided to separate the whole 'event' into a few parts with this one being the 'hantaran version' one. So here goes..

Actually a few months before, I asked Adi, "You nak theme mcmmane utk hantaran?" With 'theme mcmmane' tu meaning, what colour do you want. His reply was simple: PIRATE!

Terlompat kak Yong dia bile dgr.. adeh! I tau la dia nye keje is in the creative side, tp kakak dia ni tak penah wat hantaran langsung. Setakat tolong² kawan ade la, but to do something dgn theme pelik..

I was like,"You ingat ni birthday party ke nak theme pirate²" and he laughed sbb he was so sure of what he wanted. He could even describe to me a bit of what he wanted and since he was so confident with his choice, sedikit sebanyak sy mencair jugak mengikut kehendak dia.. Aissshhh Adi, sib baik sayang! Klau tak, I buh je lalang bnyk² kat your hantaran hehe..

Nevertheless, in the months after that, I still tried to pujuk² him to go with normal themes (normal to me is gune kotak plastic then lekat je ribbon² ikut theme colour.. yes, I'm THAT uncreative hehe..) but tak berjaya as Adi insisted on what he had already envisioned..

I arrived at Adi's doorsteps on the Wednesday before the wedding. Since it was noon, we went out for lunch with Ana as they were choosing the picture for their guestbook.. here's a pre-wedding photo of them from me (tanpe posing² bagai)..

Back at Adi's home, we assembled the things we already had for the hantaran while making a list of what we needed to go find. Sambil² tu dia menayang his guitar yang asalnye was supposed to be hantaran from Ana to him hehe.. tp last minute was canceled sbb they weren't sure how the elders would make of it. Ni gambo Adi tgh nyanyi kat Ana.. tp ngan suare cartoon.. cittt!

The next day, me and Adi went to go find the things for his theme. We had to find seashells (the theme dah di 'soft'kan sikit dari PIRATE kepade TREASURE CHEST.. Alhamdulillah! Heheh..), sand, 'fishnets' and others. Luckily the treasure chests diorg dah belikan beforehand ☺ Then we picked up Izati kat Mines (?) and had some lunch before sambung shopping. Nak tau ape Adi belanje..

Heheh.. suke!!

We went back to Adi's place dah dekat malam then singgah to one kedai near Adi's house. Ini muke bdk² yg penat bershopping sepanjang hari..

So mlm tu, pas mandi, we went to Ami's kejap. Dekat je rumah Ami and Adi. Suke giler jumpe mak buyut tu hehe.. mule la ckp bnyk tak berhenti and Kimin pun mesti pening tgk bdk² ni non-stop bercakap. Adi yg tak lalu makan pun leh habis mkn bubur kacang Ami, so sile lah bangge ye, Ami!

Then balik tu baru mule with Adi's hantaran. Silap, esok pagi baru mule tp mlm tu getting ready la ngan Annisa pun tolong sekali tamau tido sbb nak 'tolong Alang' haha.. Izati suh dia tido pun dia bleh 'telan' balik her yawn sbb nak tunjuk kat Izati yg dia tak ngantuk hehe..

So this was our first try..

..pakai letak je ni dulu coz we wanted to 'budget' how many choc coins to use and how we were supposed to put the 'diamonds and gemstones'. We had bought some flower thingeys jugak but in the end decided not to use them sbb cam terkelur from the theme. Haha.. okay what for first timers?!?!

Then we decided to assemble main² plak coz Adi kuciwe his guitar tak dpt dijadikan hantaran, so nak amik ati la and berlakon like it is the hantaran.. though terbalik la skit kan sbb we were making the ones to be given to Ana hehe..

The next morning, at FRIM itself baru we gam btul² and lekat btul² and susun btul² all we needed for the hantarans. Pas Subuh, me, Adi and Izati gathered in the living room of the guesthouse to prepare the hantaran, dibantu Imran yg jugak nak membantu kakak² n abang dia itu. So this was what us first-timers managed to do..

Ahahah.. sudah semestinye sy mau letak sy punye cookies. Butter cookies je, not gingerbread man and woman.. but special punye sbb for Wedding Edition. Tuxedo tu terpakse direfer pade lukisan Adi coz I couldn't imagine it offhand.

This one plak, the bottle ala 'message in a bottle' ngan cheque hantaran di dalam and the cute treasure chest was the bekas cincin, courtesy of Feringghi Nite Market ♥

This one is makeup from Body Shop..

..telekung yg kitorg tak pandai nak gubah jadik bunge so just ikat ngan ribbon. Sgt la tak kreatip, sib baik Adi and Ana tak kisah huhu..

..dan ini pule perfume from J-Lo. Ana especially picked it sbb the bottle cam kene je with the theme ☺

..and iPhone (sbb masing² mmg nak tuko phone baru pun hehe..)

..and the duit mas kahwin. The pearl (yg tak nmpk itu tp nak bgtau jugak) in the shell kat atas tu real peral tau. Taken from my pearl bracelet yang putus aritu ☻

Satu bende yang sy tak tahan is the sirih junjung. I ni hantaran tu mcm penah la jugak tolong² but the sirih junjung mmg tak penah. Jenuh la pagi tu baru carik idea nak buat and we only had the white stand and a block of sponge. Hentam je la me n Izati and the result..

Heheh.. actually Salleh told me, you have to choose sirih that the 'urat' are symetrical when you fold it in half. Me n Izati only chose sirih with the same size haha.. adeh! Ini lah org yg tatau tp kene wat jugak for tradition sake.

All in all, okay gak kot kan? Heheh.. Adi was happy his vision agak menjadi and I terpakse akur lah ngan org² yg otak mmg lebih camtu. Who am I to say bende tu takkan jadi sedangkan I sendiri bkn org yg creative kan hehe..

Next edition: The akad nikah! Oh ye, ni satu lagu for them that I think sgt appropriate ♥

From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong

From this moment on

From this moment I have been blessed

I live only for your happiness

And for your love

I'd give my last breath

From this moment on

I give my hand to you with all my heart

Can't wait to live my life with you

Can't wait to start

You and I will never be apart

My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live

I will love you

I promise you this

There is nothing I wouldn't give

From this moment on

You're the reason I believe in love

And you're the answer to my prayers from up above

All we need is just the two of us

My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live

I will love you I promise you this

There is nothing I wouldn't give

From this moment

I will love you

As long as I live

From this moment on

Mmmmmmm
