Sampin Songket


Hari sabtu lepas, pagi2 lagi papa dah kejut…suruh I bersiap. Terkejut jugak, bersiap nak pegi mana? Tp, waktu tu baru pukul 7.00am. Tp memang nak bangun dah pun time tu. As usual, cuci kain, pergi pasar, buat breakfast, kemas rumah..etc..etc.. Bangun pagi2 ni senang, nak buat apa pun senang…boleh rehat panjang. Dalam pukul 10 lebih I & Papa dah keluar rumah.

Arah ke Jalan TAR...tujuan sebenarnya adalah untuk mencari kain Sampin Songket. Dan ini adalah hasilnya (tengok gambar kat bawah tu). Berapa harga kesemuanya ni? Habis dalam RM1k++ jugakla...:) So, bolehla agak-agak...berapa harga sehelai tu.. :) :D

Tak rugi beli kain songket ni, sebab boleh guna hingga ke anak cucu. Lagi lama kita simpan, lagi tinggi valuenya. Bergantung jugak cara pemakaian dan penyimpanan songket tersebut. Kalau kita ni cermat, tak selalu bagi pinjam kat orang, orang yg meminjam tu pun pandai menjaga harta orang, tertib pemakaian.....i’m sure songket ni boleh tahan lama.

Penjagaan songket juga harus dititik beratkan. Songket seharusnya digulung semasa disimpan dan tidak dipegang dengan tangan yang kotor. Ia perlu dibersihkan secara minimum dan tidak dijemur di bawah matahari yang cerah.

Setakat ni, dalam simpanan Papa ada 30 helai kain songket…banyak tuuu….:) Macam-macam jenis corak, macam-macam jenis benang, macam-macam jenis material, to him its a sentimental value yang ada nilai commercial. Hahahaha…ada ke? Eemm…ntahla.

Yang paling bernilai, ialah songket dari pemberian Tuanku Sultan Kedah. Ia merupakan hadiah perkahwinan my parents. Ditenun dengan benang emas dan perak, disulam ke dalam garisan antara benang-benang sutera dan kapas pada kain. Ianya sangat eksklusif di kalangan raja-raja Melayu pada zaman dahulu. Kalau tak salah songket tu dah menjangkau 45 tahun. My parents pun dah 45 tahun anniversary this coming December :)

My new port

Only 5 minutes away from my home at TBM. Desa ParkCity is a new high-end residential area. Boasting about its luxury houses, condominiums and its very own residential club. A township of its own! There’s a MaxValue supermarket which is owned by Aeon Co. Ltd, which is very similar with any Jusco supermarket. This means I can use my Jusco Card in MaxValue. Good enough to get what I need for my groceries supply..:) :D

There are a few eating outlets in operation already, namely BBQ Chicken, One Noodle, Secret Recipe, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Kluang Station, and Natural New Zealand Ice-cream. Still under renovation is Big Apple Donuts and Rakuzen. Free parking and no traffic jam!! I l ike that very much...:)

It was a spontanious thingy to go there. There's also a pet shop, myNews.com, bicylce shop, DIY shop, and 7-Eleven. The first floor is mostly beauty salon, hair salon, interior design, and music school.

The ambience there is really nice with a park at the back. Will surely hangout here more often after more shops open. Then I don't have to go all the way to The Curve, OU, or Ikano.

If We Hold On Together - Diana Ross


Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You come so far
Don't throw it away

Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith hope and glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

CHORUS:
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see as through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out of star
Hold on to the end

Valley mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Somebody's praying
Please let us come home to stay

CHORUS:
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see as through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I


When we are outer in the dark
We'll dreams above the sun
In the dark will
Feel on the light
Warm our hearts
Everyone!

CHORUS:
If we hold on together

I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see as through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

Bengkel EH!

Minggu lepas, I & Girl menghadiri satu bengkel perkahwinan organized by Eh! Magazine. Bertempat di Event Hall, Parkson Pavilion.

Girl call hari tu tanya whether I’m free and available on this date, sebabnya dia nak ajak I attend this bengkel. So far, I’m OK. So, she registered for me, pay for me as well..eemm..siap belanja I to attend this course. How nice of her..:)

Girl came to my house and fetched me. Kami sampai agak awal jugak, so sempatla kami breakfast kat The Coffee Bean dulu.

Kenapa ek kami attend bengkel ni? Dah nak kahwin dah ke kami ni? Eh' takla...just for fun mengisi masa lapang yang terluang memandangkan BF masing-masing tak berada di Kuala Lumpur...hahahaahha. Manala tahu tips-tips yang diberi oleh pakar-pakar perunding perkahwinan dapatlah kita ikut walaupun tak sepenuhnya. Lagi satu sebab nak kenal dengan lebih dekat orang-orang ‘kuat’ yang menguruskan majlis2 perkahwinan yang penuh glamour dan extra vaganza meriah!!

Belajar teknik hantaran, yang paling exclusive, simple but nice and cheap. Cara make-up yang sesuai on our special day and perfect dress for our big day. Our speaker on that day which is Kem Salleh from Kapas. Zamri Zainol from Lancome. Man Kajang professional wedding dress designer.

Kem Salleh ni is a famous wedding planner for SN, NB and Royal families. Dia punya pakej tu jangan cakapla…punyala mahal. Eventhough mahal pun tapi hasilnya memang puas hati la. Untuk sesiapa yang berkemampuan tu bolehla ambik Kem Salleh ni as their wedding planner.

Zamri Zainol ni memang pakar make-up. Sentuhan dia memang class…cosmetics semua from Lancome product. Dia siap buat make over to one of our participants. Hasilnya mmg cuun laa..:) Worthla to pay him.

Man Kajang. Semua orang kenal Man Kajang ni. Baju2 rekaan dia semuanya cantik2la. Kalau nak minta dia design/tempah baju kahwin kita, dia akan ikut kita sekali ke kedai Euro Moda. Memang situla kain yang dia akan rekomen to all his customers. Per meter – RM250 – RM400. Mampu? Tu baru 1 meter…kalau nak guna 4 meter? Tak ke pening kepala. Tu tak siap baju lagi tu…tu dah sah-sah harga lain.Tengokla hasilnya kaann….quality tu. Memang puas hati la.

I suka cara depa bagi talk tu…tak boring. Ada ajer celoteh depa tu..memang tak kering gusi dibuatnya..it was really fun. At the same time kita dapat jugakla tahu serba sedikit Do’s & Don’t’s for marriage preparations. Its good to attend this kind of course..something different. Its not only meant to those yang nak kahwin, to those yang nak buka kedai andaman, apa-apa sajerla yg berkaitan dengan perkahwinan pun boleh sertai bengkel ni. Depa tu tak kedekut ilmu everything they share to us that day. Memang best.:) :D

Lama tak jumpa..

Jumaat lepas, I, Ila, K.Lin, Lily, Akla & Shah dinner kat Cheng Ho. I tak pernah makan sini, this shop belongs to Amy Search. It’s a Chinese Islamic seafood restaurant..located at Wangsa Maju.

Memandangkan I ni tak reti jalan nak kesana, so I memerlukan perkhidmatan Ila. I tunggu dia kat Jusco Wangsa Maju..from there kami konvoi ke Cheng Ho.

Shah dah sampai sana dengan husband dia..dia siap order makan dah pun..ready to eat. Our last guest is Akla. Dia terlewat sket ada masalah2 yg tak dapat dielakkan..:) She came with her new born baby Ziqri.

Lily with baby Ziqri
