magic from across the causeway (part #4)

You know how Singaporean Malay weddings should start looking like?

They should bloody hell start looking like this:

I NAK KAHWIN KAT MALAYSIA, NAK KAHWIN KAT MALAYSIA JUGAK.

*stamps feet sampai lantai ada sinkhole*

Thanks to my dear friend Nurul from across the Causeway for the heads up! (Is it just me or is it almost your first wedding anniversary in two months plus already???) Told my mat to take a look at Ratio Design over the phone earlier and we couldn't stop gawking over the dais and decor designs!!! SOOO CANTIK I WANT TO PENGSAN!!! AND MERAUNG NAK KAHWING AT MALAYSIA!!! WAAAAARGHHH!!!

Haiz. Aaaaanyway. This awesome vendor from across the Causeway also does candy buffet tables, dulang gubahan and bridal bouquets which are as awesome as their decor works so please click click click on their Facebook link to enjoy their awesomeness okkkkk. Tapi I warning dulu yang you all will geram sendiri just like what happened to me - I saw their promo quote for 1 mini dais + 7 dulang gubahan + 1 hand bouquet + 200pieces of favours for RM2200. RM2200!!!!! That's, like, SGD900?!?!?! Mother bloody of cow lah seriously. SGD900 you bayar untuk taik hidung jelah kat sini.

While browsing through Ratio Design's FB, my mat actually pointed out one thing which I do agree with: One of the possible reasons why Malaysian decor always looks so much more gorgeous and fresh than ours might be because their dais seats are always sooooo nice and exquisite and oh so dreamy and their items are always very clean and well-maintained (as opposed to Singapore punya - even the good decorators punya items kadang kadang ada nampak macam berlapuk or tua, at least from what we've seen firsthand at other weddings, so we're actually quite resigned to that fact.) 

Some people might think we're gila but my mat and I actually fret over the kerusi pelamin that we're going to choose for our wedding okay hahaha what WHAT. We saaaaayang our chosen decorators sangat sangat with our jantung and limpa all but we really cannot decide which one of their kerusi pelamin we'll eventually choose because we're not too excited about any of them :/

Tapi takpe lah eh, yang penting, as long as ada kerusi untuk duduk kat pelamin tu dah cukup bagus. Nak dreamy dreamy sangat nanti our decorators campak katil kat pelamin baru tau. Ambik kau dream. Daaaaaaahhh jadi pelamin untuk baring instead of pelamin untuk duduk eh! Macam that time I nampak pelamin terbaring kat Simei! I know it's not funny when pelamin roboh but my first thought when I saw that unfortunate incident was not "Eh! Pelamin roboh!" but "Eh! Pelamin baring!

Pandai pandai je panggil pelamin orang pelamin baring eh.

  3. Yes, it's actually almost one year already! Times flies right? :) Glad you liked Ratio Design. I think they deserve more recognition! Btw, Ratio Design is actually a husband-wife team who also just got married themselves. I've already forwarded your blog entry to them. I'm sure they'll be thrilled to read such wonderful comments about their work. Hehe. - Nurul
