Have you guys seen this??? The demonstration video on how penyangak penyangak can break into and reseal your locked luggage bag with just a ballpoint pen?????
Such a disturbing thing to know lor. A good thing flyboy Azrul was with us when we bought our honeymoon luggage because he was the one who strongly advised us to get a clam shell luggage instead of the regular zipped ones (macam the one dalam the video above) because the latter memang senang kena tamper :/
Our huge clam shell luggage bag with 360degree
wheels + Complimentary cabin luggage that we bought in February because there was a great promotion!
The pink ones are mine!
My mat's black ones not in picture because he was - unsurprisingly - playing with them.
Anywaaayyy. Cakap cakap pasal benda untuk honeymoon ni kan, my mat and I recently went to Mustafa Centre to get ourselves barang baik (also known as monopod haha) for our honeymoon as recommended by Eleventh October in her entry here.
Ini bendealah seriously useful gila, please. My sisters and I had a go at it when I brought it home two weeks ago and we did an impromptu Beauty and The Beat music video at home hahahahaha. Will probably go back and buy another one! Satu untuk pakai for honeymoon, lagi satu buat pakai sekarang. Hwa hwa hwa.
Ok, there's something else that I want to share - it's not honeymoon-related though, so very the sorry eh this entry ada kena campak campak sikit macam rojak (mmm rojak). My baby sister (who worked on our dinner invitation cards) also worked on a little something else that I asked her to! And that little something else is this:
Contact card for our vendors! Yay! I'm assuming that we'll be too busy in the days leading up to the wedding + on the wedding day itself so we'll pass contact cards to all our vendors so they know who to contact for arrangements, payments, extra help, etc. (Our parents and siblings punya numbers are also on the list)
There's also another copy with all our vendors' contact numbers which we will print on the other side of the card and hand out to our parents, siblings and orang orang kuat. Never know when they'll need the vendors' contact details, y'all.
I mean, you letak your vendors punya contact numbers dalam your handphone aje pun buat ape kan? Buat jeruk? Maaaaana lah tau electricity blow so kena panggil the orang venue ke, kaki meja patah so kena panggil caterers ke, tok kadi lambat so kena pressure dia suruh cepat sikit ke, things like that, y'know? Must prepare as best as you can for emergencies ma (Unexpected things are bound to happen of course, but even if they do despite your best efforts, at least you know you've tried your best, yes???)

Might also prepare a bridal emergency kit for our orang orang kuat in case of emergencies - sooommmmmething like this ah:

Oooooh paling penting must remember to add blue tack and straws into the kit! Terpikir nak letak blue tack based on previous experience (Nad and I terkial kial nak cari something to stick the food label stands because they kept falling down macam London bridge due to strong wind for Nani's wedding ok. Nasib baik Zahrin from Kasai Sayang had a wad of blue tack and let us use the whole thing) whereas straw was mentioned by someone before - was it turun temurun btb advice from Rina or Dyan? (From Dyan to Rina, right?)
Something about the straws being useful for pengantin to minum from because kalau dah pakai lipstick setebal Great Wall of China, how to minum direct from cawan kan??? Plus will look more sopan if use straw to minum ah haha (Eh. But if I want to mintak swirly straw instead of the regular straight ones, rasa rasa my orang orang kuat bo layan tak??? Hahahahaha.)
Ok dah lah tu je for now. Sekarang tengah sabar menanti for our kursus rumahtangga which is coming up in less than two weeks and for Great Singapore Sale 2013 to start on 31 May 2013. Once GSS starts, we can finally buy the final item for my dulang and we'll be done din dun for the whole barang dulang thingamajig woohoo! Completed almost all of our purchases for the barang dulang in early March and it's been such a motherfreaking pain waiting for the final item to be ticked off the barang dulang list ok.
But pain schmain ni semua lain hari boleh cerita, I'd now like to end ini entry with this:
Happy 4 and a half years anniversary, baby! We're halfway there so hang on tight ok XX
hahahahah yes tip BTB turun temurun of that straw turun from me to ruzanna and now to you! lol
ReplyDeleteu would never want to be seen gulping a glass of water. Mana lah tau ada orang dengki pi amik gambar, hantar kat stomp. lol
lol thank you for all the tip BTB turun temurun you gaizzzzze
DeleteI saw the video too but I already have the zip luggage at home which my mom bought in Feb too during sale (which is also pink!), so don't know if I should get another one. :/ Banyak2 luggage buat pe eh macam mane nye traveller gitu haha. But I am not fond of clam shell luggages either because the space cannot expand. Haha. Padahal the zip one my mom bought is also those hard shell kind, but with zip. Haiya. Even before going for holidays da spend banyak =x But monopod tu memang useful!
ReplyDeletei think should be ok lah babe, maybe benda benda important you put inside your hand carry? so dodgy airport staff won't get away with valuable stuff. cuma worrying is if they put something inside the bag ah :/ macam schapelle corby! (i personally think she was innocent lor)
Deleteand true, clam shell luggages cannot expand space! but security > space, i feel. the luggage we got is very spacious though, tak tau nak letak baju ke badan orang kat dalam hahaha
Ohhh ur vendors/bridal party contact list is a genius idea!!
ReplyDeletei also nk buat la, senang they can contact each other except me!! hehe! we're sooo busy smiling,posing on our big day kan? =) The pengantin kit is cool, in fact, when i went for our kursus, the facilitators mentioned the same thing too! he said "pengantin lelaki sampai, mesti berpeluh, nervous, jadi, sediakan secawan air, sapu tangan/tissue, gula2 buat dia utk menenangkan diri sebelum nikah.." I so agree lor!! eh, u also gg for suchi success marriage prep course kan? have fun! cos they're awesome facilitators! especially Mr Khair & Ust Jalil, kelakar to the max i tell u! u'll definitely learn a lot about marriage, its an insightful learning experience for me and my fiance =)
yes dooooooooo, it'll be useful for liaising purposes. of course even better if your family members or orang orang kuat store the numbers given to them inside their handphone instead because tinggal whip out phone and dial the number with a tap of a button.
Deleteand yes!!! going for the suchi success prep course! very excited - AND nervous - to see what's in store for us. heard from girlfriends the facilitators are kelakar too hehe thanks for the input babe, insya Allah the experience will be good for us as it was for you and your fiance :)))
EH YOU BUAT VIDEO BEAUTY AND THE BEAT?! SHARE SINI!!!! hahahahahah
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOOOOOooOOOoOoOOOoOOoooooooooo
DeleteEh, you remember anot Nani's bachelorette party ada itu straw? I give you that one to minum air! Hahahahah!
ReplyDeleteDIAM SIA
DeleteSwirly straw tak boleh. Tapi straw gini boleh: http://www.drinkstuff.com/productimg/71397.jpg
ReplyDeleteEH i have that at home
Deletei must get that monopod lah! that day pergi lupa pulak nak cari! tapi beli sekarang confirm gatal nak pakai dulu. hahaha. and babe! swirly straw? kalau beli yang flavoured straw boleh? hahahaha. your emergency kit is awesome okay. shall keep that in mind. i thought of like only a quarter on the list. heh. and nak tengok video please!!! :p
ReplyDeletemust remember to beli the monopod ok! very good good one, can't wait to use for honeymoon hehe (ala can't wait to pergi honeymoon lah, period)
Deleteand what WHAT? WHAT VIDEO? :P
