The Wedding Chapter: Thank You Part 1

3:49:00 PM

For once in my life, I'm living in a fairy tale. Too much? Don't think so. Anyway, my wedding day turned out as what I expected. Better still, above my expectation. So ok, as what I dream of. Surrounded by close friends and family members including all my best friends since high school minus the Ferrari car which I was supposed to drive in during my arrival. Hahaha. I could not ask for more than today.

So here it goes, me and my boyfriend-then-now-husband (sorry I have to get use to this calling Juan husband) would like to thank every single person who has helped, planned, executed and attended our wedding.

First of all, thank you very much to my parents who has been putting up a lot of work, energy and time in making sure this wedding a successful one. Without them, I can't imagine how this would turn out. Disaster. Juggling between work and wedding. I even go to work on the day before the actual one. To my father, thank you for the support you gave throughout this process and also for the diamonds as my wedding gift.

Thank you to my bridal house, Dnas Qaseh for that beautiful songket wedding dress, nikah outfit, amazing makeup and traditional theme pelamin. It was a great team work.

Secondly, thank you to Syurga Cinta Abadi for that i-want-to-cry hantaran decorations. It was so pretty, simple but most importantly, it was so-me. I couldn't bear to tear off those hantaran at the end of the day but I had too :-(

Special thanks to the team (who's also my best friends from high school)who has helped to organized, planned, execute and making sure that everything goes as planned. Thank you for the full force effort that you guys put. I couldn't ask for more. Everything were just in place and I'm grateful to have that extra hands. I could not thank you guys enough.

Thank you to Putree (subsidiary of Kuang Yee) for the amazing pre-wedding photos and kua (a traditional oufit for tea ceremony for the Chinese).

To my official photographers, Memoria Photos, thank you so much for the amazing photos. They look beautiful and natural. It reminds me of the good old days of me and Juan.

As for the venue for this event, thank you to Putra Palace Hotel for the wonderful decorations. I'm glad to know that my parents are happy with the outcome, so do I. They're what we have discussed and went through numerous times prior to the wedding day. Your effort are much appreciated. Also thank you for the pent suite provided. They're comfortable and spacious.

A big thank you as well to Habib Jewellery for that amazing customized wedding ring. The look absolutely gorgeous and we both love them.

Lastly and foremost, to all my aunties, uncles, and cousins who came from a far. As far as Singapore. Thank you for making the effort to attend this important day of mine. It meant a lot to myself and the family.

Service review: Teratak Spa, Bayan Baru

1:50:00 PM

As the wedding date gets closer, I'd thought I could get spa treatment for myself. So I browsed on the Internet on where is the best place to do it. This time, I wanted a Malay traditional spa treatment and not the usual Western style I used to go. There were only 2 available when the result came out. One of it was Teratak Spa. It looked nice and so Balinese. You can see it from the main wooden door itself. And as you step towards the receptionist, you're surrounded by trees and traditional music.

I called them and booked a session. I asked them a few questions and since I didn't know what type of package suitable for future bride. Plus this is my very first time signing up for a full treatment spa package. They then recommended me 'Permaisuri Impian' (RM390) which is a 2 hours and 45 minutes session. This package includes:

1. Floral Footbath

2. Holistic Body Massage

3. Chocolate Body Scrub

4. ‘Mandi Kepala’ with Coconut Milk

5. Strawberry Body Mask

6. Rose Petal Milk Bath

What I like most offered in the package was the Rose Petal Milk Bath and the 'Mandi Kepala' with Coconut milk. The fragrant smell of the coconut milk left my hair smell so good for days. Not to mention the Rose Petal Milk bath, goodness, your body just feel relax in that warm water mix with rose petals and milk and some 'pandan' leaves I believe. I leaves a sweet smell on your body as well.

These photos were taken via other website. Only the last 2 photos were taken by my mobile.

Upon reaching you will be asked to fill in a form about your personal details like what skin care do you use, what is your skin condition, do you have any disease, etc. But before, you'll be served with cold tamarind juice. It was super delicious but I didn't request for a second cup. Shame.

After that, you'll be shown to your room and they'll provide you a disposable panties and a 'kain batik'. After that the session starts. You can bring your own toiletries if you want to because you'll be provided with a clean towel for your shower after the milk bath, which is the last step of the package.

The one thing I notice about the service is that, the staff was very tentative of their surroundings. For example, when it was time for the massage session, aircond will be switched off and during the milk bath session, they'll leave you alone for about 20 mins for you to relax and privacy. The whole experience was satisfying.

I would definitely go again the next time. I believe that this is the best spa I have been so far. I would advise that you call them first prior to your visit. If you can ask them questions or perhaps if you have any concern. Should you have any disease, please inform them.
