shopping for fabrics

Pergi mana tu?

We’re at Jakel Kuala Lumpur, shopping for fabrics for the big day! 

Well not recently. I haven’t been writing, so here I am trying to recall all the important activities since the last update. I have the memories strong in my head but you know la, a lot has happened since the last couple of months especially, so … the details of each activity are a bit hazy haha.

Nash and I, we went to Jakel with both our moms to buy fabrics for our families and our solemnization outfit. First, we have to decide on the theme color of the family. I left the decision to my mom and my sisters, after all they’re gonna be wearing the color. I’m okay with whatever color they want to choose …. as long as they’re not white! Thought this would be the easiest task of all. You know, just need to pick two colors, one is for the family to wear for our nikah event and another one for the reception event.

But my oh my, there’s no such thing as an easy task because 1) there’s literally hundreds of options to choose from, 2) I have 4 sisters which means 4 girls opinions there and 3) I have my mom!

My mom lovesssss red. Maroon Red, to be exact. The color of human’s heart, she said. If she can have everything in the house red, she would. It’ll be ugly, but she would. Heck, she would paint the world red.

And then there’s my 4 sisters, whose each has their own fav color. I wanna pull my hair out already!

Told them to discuss and choose the color for like a month ago. So when I asked today, “What color for the nikah event?”

“Salmon color.”

“Alright. For reception?”

Silence.

I look at my sisters.

They look at each other.

“Still not decided?!”

One wants pastel green, one wants dusty pink, one wants emerald green, and you know what my mom wants. *Pung pang pung pang* after about half an hour, they finally settled (*pung pang = if there’s a music background during the discussion, that would be it).

So what’s the theme color for reception? MAROON RED. That means, mom won the argument. Helloo, mom always wins! At least in my house #momrulesall #theresnoarguingwithher #mrsalwaysright

Both our moms picked the color and the fabrics that they want. Jakel’s staffs are very attentive and helpful. They don’t leave our sides since we arrived till we're at the payment counter. Which was good because we really needed the help, with all kinds of fabric and colors there we could totally be drowning in options. And there were happy hour sales on going as well, we could have forgotten the real objective we came. HAHA, womens biggest problem. 

We spent a good 3 – 4 hours in there and left with everything we need, and more! HAHA, told ya.

Eh, how are these two goons in the photo? Ahh, they must have followed as well. See, little details are a bit hazy! Less important details these two anyway muahahaha!

Oh don't be sad yet, this is only fabrics. We still have so much to buy. Now let's go!
