lets warm up the abode

we were thankful to Allah for everything especially me , I am definitely thankful to have a sweet husband and a shelter above our heads so i thought having a housewarming and inviting our close relatives and friends would be good , cite a little prayer by having my mum in law's group of marhaban to do that job .

chosen on 17th May as the date mainly because it was a public holiday , Vesak Day . we try to avoid dates that would be a long weekend or so as we knew there would be people taking a holiday trip even to the nearest coast .

prior to that , i have been long searching for a caterer that served good food at a reasonable price . again , we are glad that we picked Farah Diana catering and service for that delicious dishes . 



- nasi jagung (corn rice)
- ayam masak merah (chicken in a red sauce )
- daging rendang
- sambal goreng pengantin
- sweet and sour fish
- rojak petis
- bubur chacha  as the dessert

the simple set-up

being so much of camwhore , i didnt take a lot of pictures with our guests . that was my biggest regret ! how to ? when we were so busy chatting one after another .. but heres a bit of those that we manage to snap .

thank you Suhana and family for taking the time to come all the way , really appreciate . thanks for such a nice gift . it definitely blends well with my kitchen .

also to the sweet lovely couple , Darla and her fiance Ayim for dropping by . we gonna soon be a pretty close neighbour ! thanks many many for the coffee maker , the hubs eventually beamed widely as he opened the gift .

and to our family for helping up until the event ends , friends and colleagues for coming by . 

lets take a look again of the whole process and its outcome ... 

making the flooring tiles .. and the aftermath of the hacked kitchen walls to make way for our bar counter / breakfast table .

the tons of debris and sand .. perhaps ?

our 3D drawing of hot pink kitchen cabinet ..

almost complete , waiting for the solid surface and glass backing to be put up . look at the yard frame , its in shocking pink too !!!

picture taken during the housewarming , being the reason of why its in utter mess .

mr photographer should have alert us to clean up before snapping ,hmmmm...but anyway i love how it was design , in our own taste ..

our Brandt front load washer

and the Brandt dryer , a must for us as we dont have any afternoon or morning sun plus its so effiecient to use on rainy days or whenever i need it in emergency ..

our bar chair but , in black from Mondi . we just fell in love with its design and comfort ..

our customised sofa in studded diamonds ..

well , i think it should be enough for now . will upload more picts in facebook perhaps after my birthday .. stay tune !
