After a month of it (copied from my previous blog - October 6, 2010)

 Bismillahirahmanirahim. Hopefully this will explain everything from the beginning for the time being. Perhaps I will continue to tell further in another entry.

 *****

Today I feel likes to write in my mother tongue again.

Sebulan telah berlalu. Pada sesiapa yang telah berjumpa dengan ku in personal pasti tahu apa yang ku maksudkan. Ya, aku sudah & masih dalam proses perubahan atau hijrah. Aku sudah mula bertudung. Perasaan ku berbaur. Syukur kehadrat Ilahi disamping takut. Kenapa aku berkata sebegitu..? Aku terasa masih goyah & mungkin boleh menoleh kebelakang. Nauzubillah. Minta dijauhkan. Reaksi orang disekeliling ku..? Biasa la mulut orang kan.

"Kau dah bertudung..? Apa mimpi kau..?"
"Ni setakat pergi kelas je ke permanent..?"
"Assalamualaikum. Afiq (bukan nama sebenar) nak tanya Eli kenapa tiba2 berubah. Ni kena cakap ala2 Nur Kasih la dengan Eli lepas ni"
"Dah insaf..? Ke sebab nak tutup rambut blonde..?"

Banyak lagi la kot sindiran yang ku terima. Tetapi aku terima semua tu sebagai cabaran & semangat untuk aku buktikan pada diri sendiri & semua orang aku mampu buat. Tujuan ku hanya satu, mencari keredhaan Allah SWT. Pasti ada yang tertanya2 kenapa tiba2 aku terus berubah. Ye la dah nak habis ramadhan baru pakai tudung. Selalu orang ambil berkat awal2 Ramadhan untuk melakukan perubahan tu. Apa yang terjadi sebenarnya..? Siapa suruh..?

Bermulanya semua ni sewaktu aku berada di tahun kedua matrikulasi. Pada suatu hari, aku terlibat dengan satu program yang mewajibkan aku untuk bertudung. 'Sepuluh Tahun Program Matrikulasi' kalau tak silap aku. Aku bertindak selaku penyambut tetamu. Sewaktu makan malam, aku berjumpa dengan PPHEP tempat ku itu, yang dikenali sebagai En. Khai. Beliau membisikkan di telinga ku, 'Kan cantik kalau terus macam ni'. Aku tergamam. Ianya seumpama nasihat seorang bapa yang telah kenal ku sejak aku di tahun pertama di matrikulasi lagi. Tetapi aku masih tegarkan hati ku. Dalam masa yang sama, aku mula mengumpul koleksi selendang. Aku tak tahu kenapa, tapi aku terasa seperti ada magnet untuk melihatnya setiap kali aku keluar berjalan di kedai2. Online shopping juga menjadi pilihan ku.

Bercakap pula tentang siapa yang menyokong. Dia seorang teman yang ku kenali di tempat ku menuntut ilmu. Masih teringat lagi lokasi & waktu kami memperdebatkan tentang ni. Di ruang mesin basuh sewaktu menunggu giliran untuk membasuh, Ramadhan yang lalu, dia telah memberi aku semangat untuk berubah. Seberapa banyak alasan yang cuba ku bangkitkan, dia tetap berjaya mematahkan kata2 ku. Dia ialah teman sebilik ku, Sue. Aku amat berterima kasih kerana dia mampu membuka mata ku untuk terus pandang kehadapan. Disamping Sue, beberapa orang rakanku yang lain juga pernah membincangkan isu berbangkit ni. Mereka la yang tak jemu2 membahaskannya dengan ku.

Jangan salah tafsir. Aku berubah kerana Allah tetapi dibantu oleh tulang2 belakang ku. Aku juga melihat rakan2 ku yang mampu berubah sebelum ku. Beberapa orang rakanku yang free hair sewaktu aku mula mengenali mereka boleh berubah dan Alhamdulillah kekal hingga sekarang. Aku tahu hijab ku ni masih tak sempurna tapi aku memerlukan masa dan kekuatan untuk terus kekal sebegini. Insya Allah berubah kepada tudung labuh pula. Siapa yang tak mengimpikan untuk menjadi serikandiNya. Aku masih terlalu mentah. Bak kata orang, perempuan yang dah lama bertudung labuh pun boleh berubah berpakaian seksi, ni kan aku yang hanya baru sebulan memakai tudung. Nauzubillah.

Harapan ku hanya satu, sudah2 la kepada mereka yang asyik mengata dibelakang ku, selalu bertanya2 sebab apa aku tiba2 berubah, kerana siapa aku mengambil keputusan ni & macam2 lagi bunyi yang membingitkan telinga ku. Hentikan la andaian dan tomahan korang semua.

Review #Final : All in One =D

Bismillahirahmanirahim. Finally, after four months two weeks, all the draft had been posted to the blog *such a procrastinator person Niri =_=' * I don't know why I just love posted it one shot rather than bit by bit eventhough according to the date, it is back to February for the first review.

Basically here are summarize of my solemnization journey;-

1) Our solemnization date (13/11/12) been chose by MIS himself because it have been a year and four months after he asked me to be his wife. He said he want that number 13 a significant to us.

2) It is also for my belated birthday's (03/11) gift. *The greatest gift so far, Syukur Alhamdulillah.*

3) MIS forbid me from wearing a heavy make up. I asked him why, he said that he didn't want to married to another person that he have known before, just make it natural as possible.

4) Supposedly our solemnization during night time but changed it to morning since there are some circumstances. Yet I really glad of it because everything went well.

5) All the preparation for it are only takes approximate two months, from A-Z done by my parents and I.

Review #8 : Credits

Bismillahirahmanirahim. Alhamdulillah, eventhough it is only four months of us being together, I still can't stop being thankful to all that involves in my solemnization.

Firstly of course our credit goes to our very own family who keep supports our decision to getting married as early as now, still during study. Not forgotten to relatives too.

I would like to thanks to my best friends who always try to be there for me, helps me a lot during the bridezilla mode turn on and not giving up push me above when I'm down.

For more, to my very own cousin cum photographer, Haznuhairi a.k.a Unsight who kept bullying me of course, since you know how I will react towards it, you had captured my precious moments just like I want to. Well, you know me, right.

To the caterer, you guys really make my parents feel very satisfied with your service. Thanks Restoran Tuu Dia Pak Tam. I won't feel hesitate to hire this caterer next time.

Not forgotten, as for dais that my mum requested, it is from Sis Sha (De' Sentuhan Bridal).

Last but not least, to my lovely sister, Kak Noorein (Something Handmade by Nuie) who willing to sponsored me the felt's handbouquet, I am that speechless when she said that because it is handmade by herself. Thanks kak.

To all that involves, again, thank you very much for everything. Til then.

Review #7 : Handbouquet

Bismillahirahmanirahim. People always say handbouquet is bride's best buddy during this special event. It is a must to have. Yet for me, I don't even thought of it until one of my sister said that she want to sponsored it. It made of felts fabric. A simple but for me it really have it own means. Thanks kak =) Check it out;

Review #6 : Foods and Goodies

Bismillahirahmanirahim. For today, I would like to share the foods galore during my solemnization. It is by Tuu Dia Pak Tam Restaurant, Selayang. Why my dad chose them..? It is because they are near to my house and easy to deal with. Furthermore, their package affordable for us since it includes with canopy, table sets and all the stuffs needed during an occasion. It is handy for my parents since only two of them manage about this, so they could save their time for other things. Below are the arrangements made by the caterer.






 For goodies, Alhamdulillah I managed to achieved on of my dream for my own solemnization. I gave Yassin to muslim adults. As for non, my mum decided to gave them a candle holder. Both of it include with two mini cupcakes. Not forgotten, kids, I gave them a bag full with their addiction, chocs, sweets and waffle =P Here some photo of the goodies.

Review #5 : Dais

Bismillahirahmanirahim. Dais..? Requested by my mum actually. She want to see her only daughter to have a proper solemnization (to avoid peoples' talk too). It been done by one of my cousin's friend. I choose white and grey in colours followed the theme. At first, I don't want the chair but my mum insist it for families portraits. During akad, we just use ottoman's pillows.

Review #4 : Hantaran

Bismillahirahmanirahim. Hantaran or gifts that exchanges between the bride and groom according to Malay's culture. Normally they will give in odd numbers. It may contain foods, clothes and etc.

At first we decided 5 by 7, yet since few aunts want to sponsored, it became 7 by 11. Quite a big number for me but I like it because most of it are foods that can shared with others. That is one of the reasons of marriage; sharing and family.

Here are the list of our hantaran;

From MIS to me :-

 Dowry and ring

 Tepak Sirih

 Fruits

 Book (Srikandi-Srikandi Yang Benar)

Handmade Chocolate

Chocolate Buttercream Cake

Telekung

From me to MIS :-
