Hantaran

Hello,

What most best-est things about malay wedding is the hantaran. The hantaran  is a complete set of gift from both side. In a simplest way, our wedding required both groom and bride to exchange gift. The gift set must be in an odd numbers and the bride must send a higher number of gifts than the groom.

The hantaran set must be in either of these combination: 3 vs. 5, 5 vs. 7, 7 vs. 9, 9 vs. 11, 11 vs. 13 and so on. Our hantaran set is 11 vs. 13 but eventually the set's becoming to 13 vs. 13 when some people sponsored the gift. Well, we can't say no when people has already bought something for us right?

The hantaran need to be decorated base on both side wedding theme. My hantaran theme is purple whereby hantaran from my husband is maroon. Please be reminded that hantaran is not a religious but only a cultural requirement. :)

I'll share the hantaran images with all of you once I've got the softcopy.

Vlashor Camerastraps at MPH

Wow,

MPH is featuring camera straps line from Vlashor Camerastraps.

I really love camera straps - even I don't have any fancy camera or DSLR.

Maybe because not much camera man like to change their black and ordinary camera straps. What a boring colour and common!

Every time I look at the camera man, I always think 'why so much black' about their equipments - camera, straps, lenses, bag and etc. They are photographers. They are surely an artist right? So please, add colour to your equipment!

I remember when my friend and I have a vacation at Bukit Tinggi Pahang. One tourist shooting around with his big lenses camera. What captured my interest was that his big lenses is decorated with a patterned painting. It was beautiful and engaging. What a day :)

The Wedding Card

 The wedding card for the Bride designed by my husband

 The wedding card for the Groom design by Graphic Gulf

Basically, my card is not 100% original whereby it follow wording from my ex-office mate wedding card. When I ask my other friend about this, she said it's a normal things for a wedding card to be similar.

What my husband designing was the theme, pattern and colour. We have to go a lot phases to select the correct colour for it - to suit my taste of course.

So if my ex-office mate who believe I follow her wedding card, I'm so sorry for doing this. (Ps: It's not nice not to say hi to people-whom-you- know when you met them. I've tried to say hi but you avoiding our (my friends and I) eye contact.)

I like my husband wedding card's colour. It's like harimaumalaya.com theme colour. But, his card and his wedding theme colour completely different. Duh!

Both our wedding card has a mistake which makes our parent dissatisfied like:

• not so complete map
• mistake in phone number
• missing phone number

Uhu. What to do. We only notice the mistake when it has be printed. :)
I still believe that the purple in the wedding card was nice. :D
