Alhamdullillah..venue di BOOK suda ;)

yes...finally..one less thing to gaduh2 & runsing about..hehehe..

i am actually typing away at home rite now..dapat mc dua hari becoz of the dental surgery i had yesterday (yang i dont wanna remember anymore)... i just wanna recover a.s.a.p. so i can go back to the office tomoro (weds & thurs) then balik on thursday 5p.m. on the dot and go celebrate my new years 2010 with my chenta in kk :D a'ah..im going to kk!!!! seeing as work was just too hectic in december for me & syg..we decided to take leave in January..start2 tahun baru dah cuti..hehehe..we deserve it anyway! yayy!!

eh, terlari tajuk pulak aku.. heee..yesterday before my surgery i went to book the reception hall for our wedding (brides' side)..luckily, i was the first to book for October..from January-June..they are already fully booked boleh tak? pheww..why buat at a hall instead of at home? its what i've always wanted la kot..dah penat sejak kecik keep on jadi kerahan tenaga bawahan time wedding cousins (usually buat kat umah nenek je slalu) so searching for a breath of fresh air...lagipun at syg majlis nnt, we will go full on traditional..kampung style! yeah..so biar balance (alasan of course) hehe

so just to share info this is the journey of our venue searching madness...

FIRST of all..haruslah i googled je kan..and i got the list of venues from here, and here 

so, I listed down my criterias..

a. must be a place near to our house (Keramat)
b. not far from my Kampung (Kampung Baru, KL je ok)
c. have ample parking
d. affordable for me & syg (pkai duit sendri tak yah la grand2, xde duit for that.ahaha)

okla actually yang paling penting affordable lah kan..so i shortlisted the list and it turned out like this:-

1. Dewan Serbaguna Kampung Baru (ni tempat wardina safiyyah buat her majlis bertandang dulu, becoz hubby dia kan org kampung baru, ok mmg blakang umah nenek je ni, and actually my mum dah book before she new our official engagement date pon! ahaha)

  2. Restoran Alamo, Kelab Sultan Sulaiman, Kampung Baru (this is the dewan that we went to usha the other day, and memang cantik la kl skyline view from here, however, the p-i-c that we met that day didn't bring along the photos or quotations or us to further usha..and up till today (after making numerous calls & sms's) they still haven't sent us the emails or fax..jawapannye..malas suda)~ in reality my heart dah set dah nak buat kat sni ;(

Alamo

3. Dewan Serbaguna AU 2 (this hall is under the management of MJAP, sewa nye RM250/hour, for preparation RM100/hour (no aircond)~ memang dekat wiff my house & oso near JJ AU2 (takde kena mengena i know)

 

sorry cant remember where i got this pic from..tula main 'save as' je. hehe

4. Pusat Komuniti Setiawangsa (tak jumpa la gambar the dewan time google, so me n wna went to see the place itself, nmpak mcm dah usang nobody uses it anymore i guess and a bit small for our likinggs..so..next!!)


5. Dewan Wadieburn, Setapak (my mum ckp tmpat ni khas utk anak2 askar je, ye ke..entah le)

source

6. Dewan Pengaman, Pulapol, Jalan Semarak (ini pulak ramai anggota polis buat reception kat sini, tapi tmpat ni cantik, ala2 open gitu)

source

7. Dewan Merak Kayangan, Felda (if under our budget, mmg i would opt to do it here..ye la..my dad works at the same building kot, Felda HQ, so we asked around how much discount/staff price..only RM1K discount off any of the packages..rm1k je? , and the pakage starts wih RM30++ per head..takpelahh)
 

 felda saji

8. Dewan Sebaguna Datuk Keramat (actually this dewan dah lama gila under construction, but now macam dah nak siap tapi tak tersiap2..who knows october next year it will be ready for use rite? hehs

pic from adlans blog

 

9. Wisma Sejarah (nampak mcm cool but my mum ckp its too small & not enuf parking coz she had been their for other wedding receptions..so if mama dah tak suka..toksah la usha lagi k.hahah)

10. Dewan Prima LJT, Melawati (i think this place is relatively new. looks nice & big.. the prices also start based on packages)
 

Prima LJT 

11. Dewan Tan Sri Mahfoz Khalid, JKR (i've been here before my mums fren nye daughter kawin, with a british guy..this dewan is cool jugak..big and selesa, but my mum said jauh, sedangkan i think its already quite close to my grandmas)

google images jeh

12. Kaed Gallery, IIUM (kenapa antara last choice ni? the place where i met my syg, the place we have had our so many countless events, the portfolio gallery, the exam hall..yess..step back into the past..i love this place!! but...syg tak suka pulakk nak patah balik to the past..ok..ikut cakap dia..he said the last2 choice.~ at least he still let me put it in our choice list~ hehehe)

ehehehe..ini gmbar kami mengila depan kaed~activity biasa

alamak rindunye Kaed ;(

13. CAC, IIUM (our dewan convo! ahahaha..still syg said mcm tak setuju..heeee..tak pe2 yang penting list then shortlist rite)
 

 diambil dari blog warga kaed juga kat sini

haaaa..aren't i the rajin one siap letak photos lagi..this is what happens when ur bored and hungry (still cant eat becoz of my poor bleeding gums)~ i betta get this entry done quick and start packing for my vacation! wohoooo

NON OF THE ABOVE PON..ahahahaha

last skali kitorang mengusha la dewan yang takde dalam original list pun, all becoz it started when mama had a wedding reception there last 2 weeks..dia cam suka tempat tu and i googled it up...we were waiting for other place to fax/email us back..

at the same time.. mama had already called the dewan to put our date on hold..me, without knowing that mama had blocked our date,  pegi call the nex and terkejut beruk org tu cakap date tu dah ada org book..hahahah..gler tapaper.. so then aku bertawakal je dgn the next day ..itupun ok kot..then balik umah mama said she was the one that had booked, then syg called the place and asked everything (totally syg & mama yang deal)..

then kja aku? --> set the appointment to book & pay deposit (will be refunded after event~based on norm t & c)..which i did yesterday..tu pon sebab mc . LOL

 so we have booked Dewan Gemalasari, Bangunan RISDA, Jalan Ampang :) 

 these pics are all from google images & peeps blogs..

paling suka gambar ni sebab nmpak ceria & lively :)

ya itulah dia ceritera for today...thanx to greenlight from my mum (kalu tak jgn harapla mama happy if pilih tempat without her approval) & tq to my syg yang call kak nona from risda tu all the way from Sabah..hehehe..gedikkan aku ? nak jugak suh syg buat..ahahah...for those interested to sewa jugak this place (omg my manglish is horrible!) starting from Jan 2010 they are now offering wedding packages at affordable prices (sebab b4 this dia just bagi sewa dewan only) ..ok, skrg nk pergi makan (sup je kot..still cant chew ;( ) 

its snowing on my blog

just to add on that cooling effect to my life right now..aku sengaja add the snow to my blog..heheh..nak jugak?..nah amek kat sini: shabbyblogs. adala sikit sejuk kan, well, im always freezing cold thanks to my office's full blast air-con..selesema aku ..hachoooooooo..snort, snort..

heheheh..

oh yeah, my officemate kak noly ordered 30 pieces of the kuih cakar ayam (bentuk sarang burung) from my aunt. her sister is getting engaged and she wants to use the sarang burung for her hantaran..just like mine hari tu :) 

heeee..bangga jugakla ada orang lain inspired from my simple hantaran..all thanks to my cik ling, tebal n kukuh sarang burung tu, n yang paling penting..sedap!! :)

yesterday me, wina & mama gi usha dewan..the dewan for my reception nanti next october..lambat kan kitorang tak book lagi? other peeps yang kawin lagi lambat dari aku dah book berkurun dh before me..hehehe..takpe2..aku taknak mengstressed myself..syg said our dateline sampai the end of this month for us to book..after that boleh fikir menda lain dah..im still thinking, and waiting for the catering to give us the quotations & menu.. the place is strategic, dekat dgn rumah nenek (senang tuk my relatives datang), ada aircond & kipas, surau & toilets, plus a spectacular view of kl skyline..yang paling i like is..its affordable & sangat ok with our budget (yang tak de besar mana coz me & syg are totally= SELF-SPONSORED) hehehe..tapi kami sangat2 mengalu-alukan sponsor2 daripada mereka yang sudi..hahaha

tapi...ada jugak cons dia..its not a whole dewan where everyone can sit & see the pelamin, ada 2 separate rooms next to each other but both fully air-cond la..hmm..donno yet, but if nak ikut kata poket..its a strong yes yes yes..tapi kna la food tasting dulu kan..hehehe
