Hall Dilemma

We considered ourselves pretty efficient in planning our wedding. Just imagine, his family had came for merisik last sunday and over the same week, we've already settled, agreed unanimously and almost confirmed on:

1) the hall for reception on my side: Dewan Persidangan Perbadanan Putrajaya

2) make-up artist: a very close friend of him, Kak Awin a.k.a make-up artist for Cari Menantu programme @ tv9

3) photographers: Jay Farhana from Candid Syndrome for hall reception and Azlee Samad, his primary school friend whom shall cover for our solemnisation night at my house in Bdr Seri Putra and reception at his house in Puchong.

4) catering for the hall reception: which we are still torn between 2 recommended caterers; hicky's caterer i.e. ekhwan services (rm7.50 per pax) and cik mu's caterer from muar (rm11.50 per pax).

5) Gamelan performance @ hall reception: UIA Gamelan Team.

The 1st person i've contacted on Monday was Dewan PPJ enquiring for the steps to apply for the hall. So i've printed the form from the website as instructed, and keep it aside for me to send it by hand when i have the time to visit the hall later. It was my bad to overlook this matter considering i was quite early as i didn't know people normally book for a hall 7-8 months earlier. And what i have now are merely 4 months to prepare for everything, meaning to say, i'm running out of time!!

As soon as we've realized the possibility of the hall to be fully booked, he immediately called PPJ and to our much disappointment, though anticipated, the hall is indeed fully booked for the whole January 2008. So there goes our dream to have our solemnisation on 1 Muharram (New Year for Islamic Calendar) or 10 Muharram (Hari Asyura). Now, Candid Syndrome has to wait, including Kak Awin and many other bookings, until we can grab hold of 1 hall. Any hall will do coz we can't help to postpone our wedding, especially him (kui3..). But we are praying really hard for the Dewan PPJ though. May Allah help us..aminn..

Since the situation has now turned to be very critical, we've decided on taking leave on Monday to go see the hall for ourselves and meet Mr. WF himself. After 1 whole day of feeling down and disheartened over the bad news, he called me and said, "hey, let's have a drink, i miss u.." And so we went to Pelita for a teh tarik. Seeing him always makes my heart glow regardless of how bad my day had been. While sipping our teh tarik, suddenly he came up with an idea to call Mr. WF asking whether he's around on Monday. Lucky us, it turns out he's also on leave the same Monday. pheww! So we've postponed our appointment with him to Tuesday. He told us also that February is not yet fully booked, may what he said is really true..
