there's a story behind every project, this is upon special request from my dear cousin farhah, who didnt have time to assemble the hantaran herself, since time was running short and so i agreed without knowing after the acceptance there was gonna be project 2. anyway, im grateful im done with the first project, all went well despite not knowing what to expect since the gifts were all in penang and i didnt have the chance to play around with it. thanks for trusting me to help with your hantaran. all i could say is, if you want something nice, you've got to fork out quite a lot. in case you're wondering, decorations for this project inclusive of the tray came to about rm600, minus the workmanship. nothing is cheap anymore nowadays if you ask me.
the theme is actually peach but i had to mix with white to bring out the color. surprisingly, all the stuffs she bought for her future husband then are mostly black so color coordination didnt go crazy at all. phewwwww, i can afford one short sigh now! below are some pix i managed to snap d day before d wedding.
shirt, slacks and tie set
it took me a few hours to fold and refold this thing to fit the tray
belgian chocolates
so grateful i managed to find the color i wanted in penang
famous amos is worth checking out - very affordable
aviators
there's not much dat i can do, no tapes or pins coz im afraid i might spoil the sunnies
htc pda
thank God i found tis small fluffy cushion at ssf for the phone
the box is too big and its not that nice anyway
belt and wallet set
matching set with the shirt and slacks earlier
watch
they bought the couple watch, so in return she got one too - only smaller
perfume set
perfect fit on the tray
toiletries
actually this one comes with perfume too
the nieces asked "uncle atan tu suka pakai perfume eh?"
leather shoes
besar jgk kaki atan, tis is at least size 10 so it was a lil hard to fit it into the tray
all in there were 11 trays, there's also the Quran and sirih but not in the pix above. the only tray i didnt do was the sirih, in fact the mak andam arranged it in a basket, but luckily they found peach roses so the theme was still intact.
i guess i can say that i still can do wonders under pressure, but lets just wait and see how project 2 turns out soon. oh my, less than 10days to go!
