Hi ladies, many tks for the info on kadi and marriage course.
Think I'll try to get Nor Razak to officiate my solemnisation. He sounds like a nice guy... and can speak English too!
Marnie
Wow happy for u tt u've efiled ur marriage. So this is it.. countdown time! But I'm sorry to hear abt ur mom's health.. hope she'll be alright. I'm sure u are taking very good care of her, yah? U sound like a very strong and level-headed girl.
IC
My FH registered with Darul Arqam too, so ur info and tips are very useful, tks! I dont wear tudung too, so err.. it's a gd thing that the class will be held at Wisma Indah. Khekhe..
Nur
Unlike u, I'm not looking fwd to attending the course. Mainly bcoz I feel really awkward discussing such stuff with strangers. Hmm.. maybe it's just me lah.. But then again I believe it's up to individuals to make the marriage work. Our grandparents dont attend such courses and they still seem happy with their marriage life. However I do agree with u tt after knowing our partners for many yrs, we will still be figuring each other out.. U thought u know how ur partner thinks and will react in a certain situation, but he may still surprise u!

IC,
Alamak!!
Sandra
Juz knowing ur partner isn't enuff..u still need to know wats the responsibilities of both husband n wife..n also very imptly, handling financial issues. Pak tor-ing and marriage life is totally different. Adjustments needs to be made,commitments to undertake. Such marriage prep course will at least give u a hint of wat to expect after that wedding nite.
After 7 yrs of marriage, I shd say tat I'm still learning abt my hubby and he does spring some surprises now n then. But I agree with u that it is up to individuals to make the marriage works. It takes 2 hands to clap..
Alamak!!

Alamak IC! But nevermind lah..once in a while, get that feeling. Who knows one day, your heart will be moved to wear the tudung.
Nur, aye. I realised the Math bit when I re-read my post. My head was spinning for a moment making a brief mental calculation.
Thanks Sandra. Meraj and I are both trying to do everything to fit our respective moms. I think I need to be level headed. Got good training from work liao. Or else I would be screaming my head off everyday...
But do agree with both Sandra & Ally that even after many years of courtship, there's always something new to learn in our relationship. It should be evolving always. Cannot be in comfort zone too long. If not, it'll be like taking the other for granted.
And yes, I totally agree with Ally, whether we like to verbally agree or not, financial aspect is very important in a marriage. It's not just about us alone, it's about the family. Can't be as selfish as before. Thankfully, Meraj and I have established that I'm the better Chief Financial Officer cos' I'm a stickler for budgets. (I sound sooo horrible don't I?!)

Marnie,
Yup, tats rite! I've seen many marriages collapse due to bad financial management - either the husband starts skiving off with the family's savings or wife is simply too spendthrift. It looks and sound easier when u're at the planning stage - delegating bills n family expenses etc but when it comes to the actual thing, couples will have the tendency to push the responsibilities to the other party. I've been thru it once b4..years back.
When I started my preschool thingy, I had a major pay cut.. 3/4 to be exact, n I seen my marriage was nearly on the rocks due to it. Sometimes ppl live in their comfort zone too long tat when such issues happen, it really test the marriage. But thank god, hubby n I manage to hold on.

Culainne, Ally, Marnie,
I thought since this is quite a "religious" class, so wear tudung lah.. never expected!
Argh! Then..i'm not so used to it. So during lunch hour, i have to eat...with my tudung..so uncomfortable. In the end, my hubby ate my share!
Marnie,
Not trying to be sour grape...but maybe next time lah.. You know right, when you wear tudung, possibility of gaining employment is very minimal. Already being malay very hard.. what more with tudung? It's a fact. Majority of my friends who wear tudung having problem. Unless you go civil service such as teaching or those front-line Singapore Post. So wait till my husband can confidently support the whole family, then maybe i might consider. Coz we're living in a non-muslim country.
Sandra,
I also didn't really look forward. Be prepared that sometimes can be very draggy. At times, certain of the topics i find are common sense. Lunch provided. I would prefer their noodles rather than rice. But their tapao is a lot... Don't expect buffet kinda lunch. Just normal tapao food.
I met this Malay couple who are english educatedlah. Irritating. Ask my hubby regarding whether how's his family acceptance towards our marriage..and even proposed to my hubby that can bow to ancenstors tablet and bow to the altar etc. Asshole. I was thinking, dia sendiri nak buat dosa, buat lah..tak payah nak ajar my hubby. Maybe he thinks coz i religious since i wear tudung and i was making my hubby facing a difficult situation...bahlul... he don't know what kind of person i am.
Even my hubby shocked that there are some malay muslims out there who are naive in their religion. Buat malu only ah... My hubby a convert muslim for 2 years... and comparing with a born malay muslim. Yet the born malay muslim don't even know what is haram, halal, makruh etc. Now i know why they make such classes compulsory!
There was this quite old couple.. the FH is his early 40s. The lady in mid 30s. He asked the ustad the question regarding sex and rape. That one another asshole. Trust me, some of the girls felt like bashing him up. (It was a hot topic gossip during lunch hour).
You'll meet all kinds of ppl from all walks of life.
Another Tip: Make sure you wear long sleeves / long skirts / jeans. Cover up a bit. Don't wear t-shirt. Nobody does that. And don't expect that you'll be sitting next to your FH. Hehehe..endure some separation ah. For the entire time during the class, men on one side, lady on one side. During discussions / group activity it's always men vs women also.

IC,
when I read ur post - nearly want to choke on the part abt the old couple.
I agree with u abt meeting ppl from all walks of life. During my time, there is this couple - husband so thin like stick n his FW was totally the opposite. When we had our lunch, can't remember wat he accidentally blurt out, kena elbow by his FW tat he actually fell out from his chair!! Poor thing!
Yup, try to wear something decent. There are some ladies who wore see-through clothings..bad image lah. Not so nice.

IC,
Oii.. hilarious lah you! I get what you mean, no worries. But hats off (no pun intended) to ladies who wear tudung cos it is a commitment and a responsibility. And to u gals who've advised to wear decent stuff, noted. If we ever meet, can see how decent I am, really..
And, oh yes.. my FH doesn't want Malay course cos he is afraid he will have to present or discuss in his so-called rotten Malay. I aint buying that.. anyway i think quite fun to torture him hahah.. btw, IC, your clipart images are super!!
Gals,
You know, on financial matters, every year when I meet up with this acquaintance of mine who gives me some financial advice, I get a bit stressed after that. I know we need money for all sorts of things and I have my own ways of saving but boy, such meetings always dampen my spirits. I also think that hey, even though getting rich is great, some of us would be fine with a little less if other priorities are met. (hehehh.. i'd rather talk about marriage so why am i talking about money, me just rambling ok)

Okie Girls, came back from a bit of a "walking around aimlessly and doing nothing" afternoon with dear Meraj. Scored meself a pair of gold shoes which I would wear on my wedding day.
If only I'm a tad bit girly.....I think I need to walk with a book on my head to practise. You think I can pass or not?

Marnie
Your shoes are darn nice la, girl!!! Ok la ... not that high the heels so can sure pass la. Very nice.
Oh yes, panic already. I totally refuse to think about the March 'do .. only concern with the nikah ceremony in Jan. I'm still worried I won't be able to lose weight to fit in the BS' clothes so I might end up having to tailor my own - eating salads all the time is not that fun!! ... hahahaha.
By the way, I'm catering food for that. What are your thoughts on these caterers:
1. Elsie's Kitchen
2. De Mansion
3. Rasel
4. Continental Delight
5. Absolute Catering
As for the apartment to rent, I don't know anyone who's willing to rent for only one month .. why don't you try a service apartment? You can find these listed in the papers ... does location matter?

Hi Cuclainne, yeah one thing at a time. Ceremony is much more important.
Alamak....your body not as "cute" as mine so should be safe to fit in your dresses lah..You worry too much!
Of the 5 caterers you got, I've tried Elsie's and Continental. Continental is no nonsense, no frills food. Safe and cheap. Elsie's quite good range of foods. You can also consider Four Seasons. It's a toss between Elsie and Four Seasons for me.

Cuclainne,
agreed with wat Marnie had said, concentrate on the Nikah. Tats more impt..
RE: Caterers
I've tried Elsie's. Good variety of food and their cooking not too bad either.
Nowadays, I stick with Delihub - a sister company of Neo Garden (non-halal) but I dun think they cater for weddings.

How not to panic? When I went to try the clothes, I can hardly fit in most of the costumes that I tried. I don't want to squeeze myself in them, you see ... looks so awful!!
Plus because Ah Boy was delaying with the confirmation of the dates .. the MUA with the BS has been booked already so she offered to hook me up with one of the retainers with her BS. I can seriously cekik that guy ...
Ladies
Did you know that Diamond Industries is having a 70% off all their items till the end of the month? I already went to have a look at some rings there ... so shiok la. Hahahahaha ... might get my wedding ring from there.

Cuclainne, really? Do they have platinum channel set diamong ring? Me wanting to that design for wedding bands.
Oh dear me! So how? In the end, did you get the MUA or not? Better have trial run man. Quite scary if you think about it.
Aiyah......it's quite normal to have problems like that. Meraj is the same. We ran into problems with initial confirmation on wedding dates. And they say it's us women who are fickle..Bleh..

Thanks for the recommendation. I will also look into what's on their menu.
Marnie
Wah, yesterday all the rings are super bling-bling la. My eyes until cannot stare at the stones anymore... hahahaha. Want to have a look at the rings???
Aiyah, she said for my solemnisation she can come to my place to apply make-up for me but after that, she has to run already. But my mom said that's alright since I won't be changing costumes and having a photo-shoot after that. What do you think?
IC
I think the office has catered from Continental Delight too ... hmm .. spoilt for choice now.

Cuclainne, yuppers - me wanna go take a look at the diamonds. Are you going there again to narrow your choices or have your decided already?
I think that basically you only need the make up and their baju (unless of course you tailor one yourself for the ceremony) for the ceremony so it should be okay for her to run off after. (I'd probably do the same if I were having something like yours). Does the make up include the accessories and the hair-do or only just make-up? Gotta check on that.
Ally, yeah...me too! I also blink blink my eyes with all that bling bling talk.
IC, oooh thanks for your compliments. I can happily and proudly proclaim that I am able to walk like a real woman in those shoes (I practise last night already - kiasu).

I had been there twice before - once to look at their window display where I saw a ring that I liked (remember, I said the ring only costs $5 above Ah Boy's budget?). I went there again last Saturday because I wanted to look at other designs ... I like one that I had a quick look at so if I go again, it would be to window shop again .. hehehe - fun la. so perhaps sometime this week?
My mom already told her that we'd require her to provide make up, hair do and accessories and the MUA said ok. Now just have to find out how much it'll cost me.

Ally,
Thanks for the webbie! I like the part whereby they have a mini buffet.
Can consider that next time when i have gatherings with Friends. Coz not all caterers have mini buffet. So far, i know eatz catering and four seasons have. So this is another addition. Great!
marnie,
hehe... you're welcome.
Girls,
Today monday blues.... super bored, super nut-head stress, super tired, super...what else?

one more super to add - super malas..kekeke
Yup, tats y, my family now sticks to them. Cos at times when we have family gathering, no need to bother to cook so much. Juz give them a buzz..voila!!They do have mini-tea spreads too..in case u wan to have tea parties at home.

I finish work at 5.30pm so I should be there around 6.15pm (if no one will keep me back la). Meet you either at the MRT station or in front of Crossroads Cafe @ Marriott?
Ally
That is a good plan... since my ceremony is going to be at 3pm, I told my mom that we should probably cater for tea because people would have had their lunch by then and it's too early to eat for dinner. So fun!

Cuclainne,
I've had Elsie's and Continental.. yup safe choices. I prefer Elsie's to Continental cos I like their dim sum stuff. Me heard of Rasel, went to their website once.. looks quite good and pro. My friend is getting Rasel for her wedding dinner as her company always gets Rasel and she likes their shepherd pie. By the way, what about Purple Sage? I've not tried but it's quite popular I think..
You all have fun looking at diamonds!! Only buy when the shop assistant is super nice k, cos big money mah.. 70% is a big discount... better than Great Singapore Sale!

Cannot bling bling too much also ... not yet pay day! Lol.
nur
I'm not such a big fan of dim sum though I have tasted Elsie's food before (catered for work event). Purple sage, you say? Hmm .. maybe I should have a look at that too.
Marnie
One thing to ask, do the photographers ask permission first before they use your photos online on their webpage? I don't want to get a surprise like that. Hehehe.

Cuclainne, I'm okie with anywhere. But seeing how frustratingly busy the station would be, I think I'd see you in front of Crossroad's Cafe around 6.20pm.
Aiye...tea spreads are good....yummy! Agree with Ally!
Nur, don't worry. I'm the kind who will give them a piece of my mind if the service is shoddy.

Cuclainne, yes, ethically they should ask your permission and at the least, inform you before doing it. But depends on the contract you sign. If specifically states that that they have a right to post anyhow and anywhere, they can cos' they would say they have artistic control.
Cuclainne,
Yup, agreed with wat Marnie had said, the photographers should get your permission first unless there is a written agreement upfront stating that you allowd them to use ur pics without any further consent etc.
Marnie
The ring is so nice..kinda like Tiffany's wor? Goldheart had such wedding bands dun they?

Ally, yeah...Tiffany has that ring I want but I have someting against Tiffany so will never shop there. Plus, why I don't want to pay big bucks for a blue box with white ribbon.
I've seen the one at Goldheart. But it's like above S$1K for platinum. We tried the white gold one but it didn't go (some more got 60% discount over the weekend). I think it's okay but Meraj insists on the platinum. See lah...I want to save for him, he want me to get expensive one....aiyah...

Cuclainne, yuppers. I will do the henna bit on my hands and feet although I've already told the henna artist, I'm not inclined to "cap" my finger tips. Are you doing it too?
I wish I can just hulur my tangan but I'm trying not to go over our budget (or his in this case). He says it's okay but I don't feel good lor..We'll see how.

Marnie
Which henna artist will you be using? I'm looking at the ones listed on the urusanpengantin site but if any of you ladies can recommend, then I can have more options la.
I actually prefer to have the 'cap' and no designs but I have no idea how Ah Boy is going to take it. He's been taken aback a few times already (not the same way as them, right?) so I don't know how he would take to see the henna on my hands for more than a week. Hahahaha.
I was thinking that if I wanted that ring that I liked, then I will just add-on on Ah Boy's budget. I know he won't allow so I will do it secretly ... not like he's going to ask for receipt, right?

Cuclainne, I've confirmed Hayati (aka redherring in the henna circle) as my henna artist. You can find her designs at http://redboudoir.blogspot.com/
Thankfully, Meraj just told me that it'll be nice for the henna but if I don't feel comfortable with the "all-the-way-to the elbow" designs, then I don't have to do it. *phew*
Ally, my heart tells me to go for it but my brain is calculating the expenses...
