Went to survey bedroom sets today.
Didnt have a clue where to start initially but after consulting relatives and married friends, we proceeded to Jurong, opposite IMM and chanced upon Rozel Furnishing.
They have really good quality bedroom sets with 5years warranty (so far not many provide this kind of warranty) and with quite a number of designs to choose from.
We were lucky because the manager was instore and attended to us (Hence, got a super good deal and saved quite a lot).
BUT...after adding up everything, I almost got a heart attack!!!I mean, yeah it was definitely a good deal with the kind of quality you get but its just that I had never parted with that much of money in a blink of an eye before. My hard-earned money, gone in a flash over something I didnt really obsessed over (those money spent on cameras and 2pm tickets are an exception cos I REALLY LOVED THEM AND SAVED FOR THAT SOLE PURPOSE OF SPENDING ON THOSE ITEMS). So yeah....
As usual, paranoid and spenthrift me, got so upset that I began to regret over my purchase. Thank god Mr Fiance was there to calm me down, and helped explained that it WAS A WORTH BUY - good quality, modern design, good service that will last us for approx 15years (5yrs for bedroom set, 15years for mattress). Went home and surveyed more online cos I was only 75% convinced but after surveying online, YES, i DEFINITELY make the best choice. Cannot get that kind of service with free delivery,installation and even custom-made-to-measure furniture for that kind of price.
So everyone!!!I reccommend Rozel Furniture!!!
and thank you so much Mr Fiance for being there to calm me down.

FINALLY...registered!
today is THE day!
no..no..not the wedding yet.
after much hassles and troubles,today is THE day we settled our marriage registration at Registry of Muslim Marriages.
Went to ROMM at Fort Canning together with dad,mum and fiance.
sent our application onlie via e-kiosk provided there and then proceeded to meet with the officers to delcare and verify official documents needed for the registration.
Booked and confirmed the time of the solemnization and the Kadi (dia tinggal dekat je dengan rumah, leh lah ajak minum kopi esok2..LOL)
There was even an interview session at the end, where after the Wali was interviewed by the ustaz there, individually, the bride and groom-to-be were asked to go into a room and were "interviewed" by the ustaz.
Honestly, I was quite nervous, "interview??sorang2?entah ape plak dia nak tanye ni?adoi"
In the room, after the interview, we were then asked to officially swear that we are ready for the wedding and the given information are all true.
Dah keluar je dari bilik interview tu...masing2 senyum lebar je...bukan ape..lega sangat.Everything is settled.

Macaron Wedding Cake
I've never really liked the taste of macarons initially.Thought they tasted too sweet but yesterday I just bought chocolate flavoured chateau blanc macarons which cost me $10 for 2 pieces and OMG they were AWESOME!!! the crispy shell, the soft and moist chocolate, a mix of sweet and a tad of bitterness and a bit of crunchy nuts...I LOVE IT.
So...what do u think of a macaron wedding cake then?

Groom's Wedding Ring - A guide for Muslim Grooms
Selecting a ring for the groom-to-be has raised a lot of questions, researches and debates.
That is because muslim guys obviously CANNOT wear yellow gold because it is HARAM but not many is aware that there are also a number of rings that CANNOT be worn by muslim guys because it has the same properties with gold or is made up of a small percentage of gold.
YELLOW GOLD
obviously yellow gold is a defnite no-no.HARAM
WHITE GOLD
"White gold is an alloy of gold and at least one white metal such as silver or palladium. Like yellow gold, white gold is measured in Karats" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_gold)
Berdasarkan keterangan di atas,adalah jelas bahawa emas putih adalah jenis logam yang sama dengan emas kuning cuma ia terdapat campuran logam lain.Justeru, hukumnya adalah sama iaitu HARAM buat orang lelaki

SUASA
Ini yang memeningkan kepala.Ada yang mengatakan suasa boleh dipakai,ada yang tidak.Ada yang mengatakan ianya haram dan ada pula yang mengatakan ia makruh.Ada yang mengatakan jika percentage campuran emas itu sedikit,ianya boleh dipakai.
BUT....
mostly cincin suasa selalunya mengandungi campuran emas (walaupun percentagenya sedikit) (try asking all the jewellery shop,they'll tell you it contains a very small percentage of gold). Eventhough they will claim that because the percentage is small, then muslim guys can wear them, or that they have sold to many muslim guys but beware. The best and safest is not to buy cincin suasa for guys.
So with that, cincin yang boleh dipakai oleh lelaki muslim ialah cincin-cincin yang diperbuat daripada PLATINUM, PALLADIUM, SILVER or TITANIUM.because these are made of metals but most importantly make sure you buy those that DO NOT CONTAIN ANY MIXTURE OF GOLD even if its 1%.

Supplies
1. To make a large wheel; fold 3 sheets of paper accordion or fan style,
2. Fold each fan in half and staple edges together.
3. Next, staple all three folded fans to each other to complete your wheel.
4. You can leave the large and small wheels plain or stack them with a doilie for added effect. I hot glued all the layers for the stacked rosettes.

Solemnization Venue
Just came back from booking my solemnization venue. So for today, I shall update on the procedure for booking of mosque for solemnization ceremony.
If any of you bride/groom-to-be wants to have your solemnization ceremony in a mosque in Singapore, all you have to do is call up the mosque to enquire about availability and then proceed to the venue to fill up some forms and make payments.These needs to be done before registering at ROMM and the earliest date you can book i s 3 months in advance.If you haven't decide the time, its ok, you can confirm with them again at a later date.
For myself,Venue chosen was Assyafaah Mosque.
Just go there, fill out a form (date and time of the ceremony) and make payment of $180 (this is only for the use of musollah for the solemnization ceremony only.
The venue can accomodate about 200pax and it can be used for 2-3hrs as long as it does not affect the activities in the mosque.
So for my event, I am free to use it in the morning before Dzhohor (which is before 12noon).
So...one more thing done! Shall meet my caterer tmr. :)
