10 Days - The Cake and The Bed

Woohooo...see how close the Bride has gotten to the Groom?

Can't believe I am now counting down the last 10 days...

The Cake.

Went to Madaboutcake last Sunday with Syida and Aishah. Booked the hantaran cake and the reception cake.

For the hantaran cake, I am going with a one tier white fondant cake with chocolate filling. The design of the cake is something like this:

For the reception cake, I am going with a three tier white fondant cake, with some black detailings, and chocolate filling as well. The design of the cake is something like this:

Although I would love to have a bigger cake for the reception (like the picture on the far left), I have overspent on some other things and thus I will have to settle with a smaller cake ...

At first I thought of having monogram topper of me and Aliff's first name intial to be placed on top of the cake, like so:

... but then I changed my mind and requested for a bride & groom topper ...

I have not seen any cake nowadays with these dolls anymore...I know it's quite cheesy, but I like it :)

Price: Affordable kot. I've checked once with Man Kwan and he's a little more expensive.

The Bed.

Because I share my room with Syida, the room has twin beds. So, as me and Aliff will be staying at the house for a while until we get a place of our own, Syida will have to move out and I need to get a bed for me and Aliff. Getting a bed will cost me a fortune because the mattress itself costs thousands. I have been looking for a while and the nice ones would cost me my salary or more. So...I am utterly thankful that Ibu volunteered to get it for me as a wedding gift! Remember they got me this mirror as my engagement present?

At that time I was also looking for a new mirror for my dressing table, but fell short on the $$. So, one day, before the engagement, they brought home this beautiful mirror. I have the BEST parents!

So, anyway, my bed set arrived yesterday! And it's pretty! It's queen size, with white wooden bed frame with poles at each side of the head of the bed and it comes with two matching side tables. Forgot to get a picture of it, but it looks something like this:

We rearranged the room last night and I'm aching all over. I've cleared certain stuff last night and made room for Aliff...I gave him one drawer for the dressing table and one drawer for the side table. Hahahahha...He doesn't need a lot of space. I'll need to clear the wardrobe and make some space for his clothes. Syida is not officially moved out yet, maybe we'll have to do that this weekend. It's going to be bittersweet! Me and Syida argue A LOT on a daily basis (the whole house can testament to that) because I am a neat freak and I basically control everything in the room. And that annoys her. She annoys me with her OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) eg; all the doors must be shut real tight, the curtains must be shut a certain way and etc. So, we drive each other crazy, but she has been my roomate all my life, and I will miss her!

So, until the wedding, she is still the occupant of the room, and we have officially rasmikan the bed last night :)

Next: To get new curtains for the room and lampshades for the side tables.

I'm planning to write everyday from now until the big day. The last 10 days...

Feelings: Excited + Nervous + Annoyed that I still have to go to work and that I have this big fat opinion that I have to finish by this week.
