The Bridal Bedroom

Wedding is a big event. So of course, there would be a lot of tasks associated with the ceremony. From decorations to the caterer, to the shopping, to inviting and hosting, there are so many things to be handled carefully and meticulously in order to have a smooth and perfect ceremony. So it's really important to get a great team that shares the same vision to be working with you. Well I'm lucky to have a really detailed and meticulous mom who would ensure everything is perfect for me! Alhamdullilah. :)

One of the things that I leave my mom to take care of on my big day is the decoration. My mom shares the same taste with me. So this made it a lot easier between us. No petty arguing on which curtain looks better..or which flower matches with the color of the curtain or whatever. Hence no bridezilla moments for me on this part! haha. I love her taste. It's simple, yet modern and elegant. She has a little bit background of an interior design by the way, which is perfect in executing my wedding decorations! ^___^

So anyway, while I was shopping with my fiance to buy our engagement hantaran a few months ago, I got a call from my mom who's in Takashimaya, Singapore at that time.. Excitedly she said she found yet another pretty bedding for my bridal bedroom. I can't help but to laugh at her cute, excited reactions at that time because actually she already bought two bridal beddings for me about 4 months earlier! Hahaha. She called to ask me whether I prefer to have a little bit of laces and frills at the edge of the bedding, or whether I want it to be a full lace. I just said...whatever that you wish, ma. I just follow your taste, cuz you know better..hehe. That time she already bought a silk and an embroidery with pearl detailing bed sheets earlier...but because she saw yet another perfect bedding that looks cute which she thought she need it, so she bought another one! hahah. Comel betul mak saya ni. - She's such a woman! If you know what I mean. Hehehe ;)

As of now...guess how many white beddings that she bought for the wedding??

Well...about this much!  haha

Not one..not two...not three...not four.. But FIVE! 

hahahahah. 

She said they're all very different! There's white, there's off-white, there's ivory, there's in between and etc... Heheheh. So cute of her!

She bought the duvets from Hallmark, from Oasis Beddings, Da Vinci, Ausino, and Herritage Collection

She's so funny. She'd be so excited bila tengok the word "sale!". Hahah. She said, white bedding can work with a lot of colors to be the essence that would pop the whole thing. So takpe la even if she ter-beli banyak pun, she can still use the duvet, the quilt covers, the pillow sheets, the comforter etc, for other rooms in the house. Not just for the Bridal Bedroom, but for her room, for my room, for the guest room etc. haha. Okayyyy mom. Whatever you say! Heeee xD

By the way, we're not gonna have a luxurious and an extravagant bridal bedroom with a lot of flowers and other accessories though. We're only gonna have a simple modern room. Clean and white room. All white bedding, with a bit of color essence of my choice. 

Next week we're going to see the designer for the soft finishings; the bedhead, the curtains, the headboard, the skirtings, etc! 

Oh, I'm really excited!! :)

XOXO,

Shazzy. 

Land of Green, the Nada Alam Property Launch

Last Sunday, I was invited to the Seri Pajam official property launch event in Mantin, Negeri Sembilan. They're launching their new housing project called Nada Alam. 

Aptly named, Nada Alam is nestled away among 13 acres of greenery where one would immediately feel one with nature, captivated by the sights, sounds and smell of a healthy, relaxing and tranquil lifestyle. This "back-to-nature" ambiance is further enhance by the creation of five concept area parks by its developer, Seri Pajam Development Sdn Bhd. It is estimated to be fully completed in 2019, Nada Alam will have five phases comprising of terrace houses, semi-detached units and bungalows.

The event was launched by YB Datuk Hasan bin Malek, Minister of Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism

Ribbon cutting ceremony

Nada Alam spread across 160 acres freehold green development where it set in the Pajam district of the state of Negeri Sembilan, neighbouring the blossoming town of Nilai. It is an exclusive landed residential enclave that perfectly blends the comforts of modernity with the alluring touch of Mother Nature

The first phase called Nada 1, will comprise of 198 units of double-story terraces. Interested buyers will have a choice between two different layouts. Units of Type A will have a land area of 22 ft by 70 ft with gross built-up from 2366 sq ft while the 20 ft by 70 ft Type B units have a 2412 sq ft gross built-up area. Each home has four bedrooms and four bathrooms, ideal for a typical family where every member will have their own privacy.

Nada Alam employs a three-tier security system with CCTV at the entrance and selected locations around the gated-and-guarded community with round-the-clock security patrol. Relatively obscure from public view, Nada Alam bestows a picturesque lifestyle unlike any other, far removed the hustle and bustle of city life. 

The "Senses Park"

Your feet kneed by touch-somatosensory Reflexology path, your smell sense ticked by small-olfaction from the Herb-Garden and your hearing calmed by heart-warming sounds at the Bamboo Walkway

The "Symphony Park"

The soothing and calming atmosphere creates a perfect background for family gatherings at the Natural Stadia, and whenever you wish to add a melodic background, trot on over to the music park where you could play the "instruments". The tones are pure and soothing and there are no wrong notes

The "Tri-Park"

Want a less mundane workout? Why not share a bonding moment with your little one by flying a kite in the open sky at the Tri-Park. A healthier lifestyle is made so easy at Nada Alam, you'll find yourself leading an improved lifestyle in no time.

This is the "Family Street", which brings the community closer than ever before. 

All you need to do is to hop in and play with your neighbours who are now your teammates! 

The "Wetland"

Dazzling water plants act as a natural filtration system that directly cleans the lake, making it cleaner and more captivating. 

Walk in the "Nada Green" for nature lesson and inspiration. Embrace the fresh weather while you walk on the pathway and hear the twigs snap beneath your feet.

If the need to head into city arises, this hidden gem is actually located just off Pajam/Nilai exit of the Kajang-Seremban Highway (LEKAS). All it takes is a 45-minute drive and you will find yourself in the Kuala Lumpur City Centre. You can also use the KL-Seremban Highway.

Nada Alam is also strategically situated close to other localities including Nilai town, the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) which is about 25-minutes drive away, and the administrative capital, Putrajaya about 35 minutes away.

This would be my favourite area!

Built with a modern touch and inspired by nature's beauty, Nada Alam is set to deliver a comfortable and tranquil lifestyle amidst lush greenery, one that you can easily immerse yourself in, leave out all worries and truly call it your home.

Specially For Brides-To-Be!

I just settled ordering my wedding invitations a couple of weeks ago. Man...choosing cards for your big day could be such a challenging task! We spent in the shop for about 3 to 4 hours, just to decide on the type of the cards, the colors, the wordings, the fonts, the materials..etc! haha. I mean, being a perfectionist that I am, I need to make sure everything is in accordance to the theme, the colors, and also with the budget lah, definitely. And whether or not my mom (a.k.a the Wedding Planner/Manager), would approve! (Read: she's a perfectionist. hehe). So all that takes time you know.. I can't just pick anyyyy card on the rack, and then pay! And later realize, I hated the card! I mean..invitation card is one of the FIRST STEPS towards your big day! Of course you'd want it to look decent. 

Anyways, because of the time constraint (they were busy traveling/working) my parents give me the freedom to pick, decide, design, choose, my own wedding card (my mom trusted my taste and my capability of doing wedding works, after seeing My Wedding Book, I think? haha). So I went there the other day with my fiance, to confirm on the design and the type of cards, etc.. Of course, I'm the only one who did all the work.. My fiance just sat there for the whole 3 hours playing his games on his phone, not disturbing me at all or asking me to hurry up. How niceeeeee! Pheww! ^__^ The next time when I go shopping with him, I'll make sure his phone's battery is full or I'll bring a PowerBank with me! hehe. Seronok, tak ada orang kacau/suruh cepat balik bila kita nak pilih-pilih, berjam-jam! hahaha ;p (Thank youuu for being such an understanding man! teehee)

"Ni cantik...tapi yang tu pun cantik jugakkk...alamak, yang tu pun.." - That was the situation for the whole 3 hours. LOL :p

When I asked him which one's better, semua pun "Okayyy", jawapan dia. hahaha. Men! LOL 

After spending a good 3 hours, I've found what I want! hahaha. Yes...I'm one fickle-minded person. Ye laaaa...nak pilih untuk boss kasi approve. Takut nanti kang, salah pilih ke apa kannn..heheh.

I texted my dad, "Are you okay with this?"

"Ok" - Dealing with men to approve, is so much easier, tak ada comment apa-apa! Semua okaaaay sahajaa! hahah

^___^

"I want like this.. like that..blablablablabla..", talking with the big boss here. He is a very nice man. Boleh mintak macam-macam! I like him already! hahah

Anyway...here's a great deal from a bride to bride, that this boss offer for my bride-to-be readers: For every 1000 pieces cards (ANY TYPE OF CARDS) ordered, you'll get:

I will tell you more about it if you're interested! ;)

Anyways..so here's some of the cards that I like...

This is my favourite among all the laser cut cards they have!

The cards with some ribbons.. So cute!

The VIP cards.. (with a box some more)

They have lotsa type of cards in here!

The Buku Sekolah type...

Here are the pictures of what you'll get in the package:

...and some other things as listed above! Banyaaaakkkkk kan??! That's why I decided to make my card here and not in Jakarta! hehe. Price lebih kurang je, after you include all the shipping price, etc.. 

So it's better that you do it here! You get lotsa freebies!

Happy man, after 4 hours in here, we can go makan! haha. I asked him to smile..and this is the face he made for me. Pffft. 

"Ok...dah..jom balik. Choosing cards stress me out.". 

Banyak lagi items in his store! My personal favourites are the portrait simulation and the Fingerprint Wedding Tree. Can't wait for my card to be ready! And get all of the free items he would give me!! Seriously banyaaaaak! hehe. I'm one happy customer! ;)

Oh, did I mention...their card would be ready in 3 weeks upon confirmation! And their price is very reasonable too! Starts from as low as RM 0.30 up to RM 7-9, depending on your card/design/material! Happy choosing your cards, to all bride to be out there!
