Hantaran, from my own definition is something related to malay custom or is it?? Because most of current malay wedding custom is actually comes from Hindu's custom. They have dowry and those gifts on the silver plates. So, honestly if you ask me, I'm not sure how 'hantaran' comes into our wedding's picture, but we just follow the flow aren't we?

For a guy, well I do think I speak for millions of guys out there, the 'hantaran' is not a crucial part of our wedding or our big day. We don't really give a damn if suddenly 'hantaran' is not anymore part of the malay wedding custom. Maybe we would gleefully accept it!! But as this hazardous change is totally impossible, now we gonna speak how 'hantaran' fits in our life, men that were about to marry his loved ones.

We might want to buy expensive things or on cotrary as frugal as we could. For me, personally 'Hantaran' is something that I need. It might be something that I've been carving for so long, or simply something that I need to use. Do you wanna know what's inside my head right now for my Hantaran? Here is the list ;

1) Sport shoe - one that can be worn for my sepak takraw and leisure.
2) Tennis shoe - coz the one I've been using slowly worn out
3) Sandal - My adidas sandal has been living his full life with me for the past 3++ years
4) Helmet - Since I ride my new FZ150, I don't really have a decent helmet for the fast wind when I ride my bike fast
5) raincoat - Hahaha..the one I have now is not really water resistant anymore. Why not put it inside the list?? Plus it's rainy season now.
6) External Hard disk (preferably 1TB and above) - well, have been wanting to buy one of these as my pictures are getting more and more and consuming my 40GB hdisk of my company laptop. For the time being, I'm using the courtesy of my housemate to store my digital data inside his. Huhu..
7) Jeans - I bought my new one only twice. The first jeans when I was 17 and another one 4years ago from the uptown Danau Kota when I was a streamyx call center personnel. Other than that, I think I bought a bundle one that costs Rm10, I thinkI've bought 2 of them.
8) A cap maybe. I never have a decent cap. I want one so bad now as I'm playing tennis now. Hehehe.
9) Sweater/wind breaker - so want the 3lines adidas one. I bought mine, cheetah when I was in my first year in UPM. That's 8 years ago. Red one and I've been using it since now. I've also bought around 5 more bundle. 1 was torned out because of an accident. The rest have been used every now and then.

Hmm..see. So far these are my 'hantaran'. As we have discussed to have 7 - 9 for our hantaran. Hehehe..But I think the helmet and the raincoat need to be omitted. They can be replaced with sweets and chocolates..Hehehe..

Fancy things like perfume, watch, I don't really need them. I always forget to spray some perfume when I went out. I've been blessed with odourless body thanks to Allah. So, a roll of my deodorant to prevent sweaty armpit should make my day with ease.

Hmm..how much would the list costs???

Some more of the pictures taken during my 070809 visit to Cembam's place. Enuff said. So lazy to type more..

Trying to play around with the sun blaze effect. One of the effect I would use on my clients' bridal pictures. You might have bumped into this kind of effect.

May 14th 2006 - We watched this movie at TGV KlCC. It's always watching movie when we just sitting somewhere speechless without nothing to talk about.

As some of the movies were unplanned, we usually watch those with suitable timing. Easy to pray and had our meal.

This movie is nice. Another version of titanic.

June 25th 2006 - Stay Alive

A very thrilling movie to be watched with Cembam. It was the first movie with this kind of violence I watched with her.

I was evaluating how would she reacts when she watched it. Terrified like shouting or etc. But it turned up she could calmly watch it.

I've already forgot some of the movies that we watched before we were officially a couple. Various kind of genres and we loved everyone of them. I put it in this very blog because most married couple would not be going to the cinema anymore. Some would go once they have kids, to entertain their kids.

So, I just want to make it a memoir that when I was young and dangerous once, I did watch movie with my partner..yeahh..ahahaha

Hari sabtu, 8 haribulan - mlm sebelum tu aku bermalam di Muara resort Pantai Balok Kuantan. Citer yg aku terasa lain mcm masa dapat bilik ujung tu. Aku dpt tukar bilik. N aku dpt tido ngan lena. Pagi tu Cembam smpi resort tu, so kami gunakan la voucer utk 2 org sarapan kat resort tu. Makan nasi goreng. sementara tggu Cembam aku ada amek gambar aku sorg2..saja berlatih.

Kira ala2 model FHM la ye dak...ekeke..then aku bertolak ke Kemaman. Cembam ada kelas pagi tu. Kami terus ke umah cembam. Cembam gi kelas, aku tido kat umah dia. Bila dia balik n habis kelas kami kuar makan tengahari. Tak tau nk kemana, terus try jenguk zoo kuantan. Cembam kata tak best..tp drpd tk buat pape kan..lgpun tiket tgh promosi 5 hinggit je. Aku sempat bli rambutan n bawak msuk.

Jalan2 dlm tu mmg cari port utk bergambar pre-wedding kunun2 tu..tp mmg redup n gelap. Nk amek gambar binatang pn payah. Last2 jupe jmbtn gantung...kosong je..so aku decide amek gambar kami kat situ lah..ehehehehe

Cembam kelihatannya dh mula biasa bila aku tujukan lense pada dia..senyuman dia pn semakin rileks dan santai..Hehehe..ada la org lain lalu lalang..tp bila tgok tripod aku setup tu..takde la diorg syak lain2..aku kelihatan profesional masa tu...

Apa pun..aku masih perlu berlatih utk memberi snyuman yg manis time kawin nnt...huhuhu...kena berlatih senyum yg tak menampakkan sangat kesimpangsiuran gigi2 aku...huhuhu..
