My Wedding Chronicles : Part 3 (More Budget)

As my previous part 2, i only touch my wedding ceremony's costs and budget. However it did'nt stop there.. As Akad Nikah ceremony is the most important part of the ocassion, its sure dig up the wallet too. Our akad nikah will be held a day before the wedding reception, and as agreed in the engagement mutual agreements, it will be 7 trays of hantaran from me to my fiance and 9 trays from her to me as a return. Then comes the cost of cincin (which for me im adopting a bracelet instead), the attire for both of us, make up, & a small kenduri feast after. Depends on the individuals ours might cost RM2k each for hantaran plus another RM4k for the bracelet, attire, make up n kenduri mentioned. Pheww! That add up to RM36k for total cost. And i know how fast money could be spend, so another RM5k back-up budget should do the trick.

My Precious Possesion #10 ~ Samsung Galaxy Note

I almost forgot to update my new toy, the Samsung Galaxy Note which i found beats hands down to the Apple iPhone in few factors. Always wanna try android for a change. Why did i trade my precious apple for this? 5.3inch WXGA HD Super AMOLED screen, Dual Core chipset, 8GB RAM 16GB storage, 8MP camera, thinner less than 1cm..! Enough said. Its mine. Oh yea, no more itunes, file goes in and out like a USB storage. ;)

My Wedding Chronicles : Part 2 (The Plan)

Its allready March, so me and fiance has agreed on most of the things. We planned to have a single reception for both side as to cater our financial plans and budget. So i match the RM10k hantaran amount and both of us add up another RM5k each, so we have a handsome RM30k budget for the event. We also decided to hold it in a local hotel ballroom after considering few points. With a budget around RM50 per head for 500 guests, the RM25k will cover the venue, foods, vip table, guest table arrangements, gift & attendance table, waiting room, p.a system, decorations, banner and the grand pelamin. Not to forget the honeymoon suite and discounted rate for family members room and parking. Everything will be prepared by the banquet manager with full force of hotel staffs. With 80% tasks allready managed, we only need to work on the baju bersanding, make-up, bunga telur, thank you goodie bags, invitation cards and photographers. That's where the RM5k balance will be allocated. Is it enough? A very good survey plus friends recommendations will able to squeeze into that budget. While if we plan for hall type of wedding, there will a lot more of bookings, confirmations, findings as each tasks would be from different service and person. Plus it will be difficult to organised a group of managers to be on our benchmark. And yea, no honeymoon suites too :P
