Not A Wedding Planner

Salam. Hey there, friends... thanks for coming. So I've been extremely busy lately.
Hard to plan a wedding, ya? When you can't afford a planner, relatives are the best assets!
That's something you can no longer get in loads of places, especially in town.
In my village the spirit of teamwork is still intact. 
Alhamdulillah.


The rain started to pour in just after the canopies were erected. Worst nightmare for us, coz the ground would definitely go muddy. We should have rented our uncle's futsal's hall, come to think of it.
But then, won't be fair to those who've booked to play.


The guys led by my dearest other half took charge to mend things within their capacities.
Thank God there were still stones and sands and soils, the leftover from mom's house renovation that could save the day. And the weather was friendly throughout the big day itself.
The committees' shoes were ruined of course, but it's ok.. so long as the guests won't suffer that much. Plus, the dish was so awesome they could hardly complain. *wink.


There were however not enough hands to serve the bride's family. Well, almost all of my immediate cousins were teachers, and they had to be in school on Saturday, replacing the long Eid holidays beforehand. So the groom's siblings had to be the all-rounders, running end to end.   


So that the bride wouldn't feel sad and the groom wouldn't lose face.
And everybody could smile and say cheese to the camera.


I for once, ladies and gents, was not a wedding planner. I was only the Big Sister.
The groom was my brother and he ain't heavy at all.
I owe that much to my mom and late dad. I gave my damnest best.
Allah Knew it.


And I wouldn't have done it without the rest of the family in turquoise green and not in turquoise green... In the pictures and outside of them.


Thanks all for still being around, love you for that. Until next time, Sayonara.
Much love, TPJ.

      Salam, dear Marya. Tqvm.. It's a crush between blue and green.. Just like the ocean in broad daylight from afar. Turquoise Green. Thanx for your kind wish, by the way.

Mematikan Setem Hasil Di Hadapan Pesuruhjaya Sumpah

Image
Assalamu’alaikum. Okay, dalam banyak-banyak perkara tentang Pesuruhjaya Sumpah, bab mematikan setem ni aku nak kongsi dengan korang semua. Kita buat dalam bentuk rumusan fakta sudah la, ya? 1- Setem Hasil: RM10 sekeping, beli kat mana2 pejabat pos. Ada sesetengah Pesuruhjaya Sumpah dah beli siap-siap, standby kat ofis kot-kot la orang datang berkehendakkannya. Tapi jangan kecewa, marah atau tak puas hati kalau takde tau, sebab itu bukan tanggungjawab dia. Kira value-added service. 2- Dokumen apa yang Pesuruhjaya Sumpah boleh matikan setem hasil ni? Bukan semua dokumen, ya, tuan-tuan dan puan-puan. TIGA jenis je pun:  -i- Afidavit;  -ii- Surat Akuan Berkanun (a.k.a Akuan Sumpah); atau -iii- Deklarasi/Pengakuan Bertulis.  Dengan syarat Afidavit, Surat Akuan Berkanun dan Deklarasi/Pengakuan Bertulis itu ditandatangani dan diangkat sumpah di hadapannya. 3- Cara mematikan setem, takde cop2 bulat bagai macam kat LHDN tu, ya... kena buat dua palang kat lua...

Dress Code Peguam Muslimah

Image
Assalamu’alaikum. Kali ni aku nak cerita pasal dress code bagi peguam syari’e di negara tercinta kita, Malaysia. Straight forward je sebenarnya:  1- Bertudung putih/kelabu; 2- Berbaju warna gelap, berkain hitam; 3- Blazer berwarna hitam; dan 4- Jubah khas (kes di hadapan hakim Mahkamah Tinggi & Rayuan). Pendek kata, itulah warna asas selagi mana menjadi peguam: MONOCHROME to the max! Majoriti peguam syari’e wanita lebih selesa memilih untuk memakai sepasang baju kurung berwarna ataupun bernada hitam. Macam aku pulak tengok mood, ada masanya lengkap 1 sut blazer dan skirt labuh, dipadankan dengan blaus putih/hitam paras bumper. Ada masanya aku pakai baju kurung macam orang lain, ye la ikut mana yang sesuai dengan kehendak hati.  Dulu kami tak boleh pakai tudung lain kecuali warna putih, punyalah bosan tahap cipan hari-hari macam kaler taik cicak. Sejak beberapa tahun kebelakangan ni, Arahan Amalan Mahkamah Shariah dah perluaskan kebenaran warna kepada kelabu. Barulah ada va...

Onak, Duri & Ranjau Kehidupan

Hidup tak selalunya indah. Adat la, langit pun tak selalunya cerah. Penuh cerita suka dan padat cerita duka. Itu la pun yang mewarnai kehidupan.  Lumrahnya, semua orang nak selalu bahagia, kalau boleh. Tak mau ada duka ataupun air mata. Nak ketawa dan bergembira sentiasa. Tapi hakikatnya berbeza. Harapan lain. Kenyataannya lain. Takde pilihan pun sebenarnya, mau tak mau kena telan, kena terima apa adanya. Yang mendewasakan kita itu la dia.  Kadang-kadang kepedihan yang kita rasa macam tak mungkin ada hujungnya. Itu tahap pertama. Pada permulaannya. Disebabkan tak ada pilihan, kita tetap melangkah. Ya, mungkin longlai. Mungkin juga bagai tak jejak kaki ke bumi. Tapi masih perlu terus melangkah. Dan melangkah. Tanpa sedar, kepedihan itu kian menipis. Hari berganti hari. Bulan berganti bulan. Tahun berganti tahun. Waktu akan memulihkan. Percayalah. Apa yang paling penting adalah kekuatan jiwa. Tanpa itu, hampir mustahil untuk mengawal perasaan, apa lagi keadaan. Carilah ap...
