No matter how nice we try to put things, there is no denying that life is a battle. Everyday is a struggle.
However, with every struggle is a blessing. We are blessed to be alive and given the chance to make changes everyday.
People say, “live your life to the fullest”; I am here to do just that.
Hi, My name is Nadrah and this is my story.
I'm a daughter, a sister, a granddaughter, a cousin, a friend, a wife and a mother but most of all, I will always be a little girl at heart.
This blog is about my life and how I try to live it to the fullest while keeping it well balanced.

Back from my 1 month break!

I’ve been hiatus for a while now (1 month to be exact). My sincerest apologies if you’ve been following my blog silently (I rarely get comments but then occasionally my friends would ask about my blog. You know who you are :p). I’ve been very busy trying to finish my office work before going on my marriage. Yes, you read it right. I was on my marriage leave. I can now add the word 'wife' to my “resume”. :p
On the 28th of June 2012, I got married to my companion of almost 4 years of courtship, Mr Ezry bin Ibrahim. I was very lucky that most of my family members are in the wedding planning and event management industry that my mom delegated tasks to her cousins and nieces. Family friends also helped in the preparations. They’ve been in and out of the house and dedicated their time to make my solemnization not only a success but also a very beautiful event. The theme chosen for the event was Crabtree and Evelyn.

  • Event Manager was Abg Hood and Abg Jaafar
  • Wedding sponsored by FAMA (my beloved father and mother)

Initially, I thought of just making something simple like just a baju kurung with lace. Kak Maya, being super dedicated, paid extra  attention to it and with her talent, she designed a dress which was far more beautiful than I expected. I fell in love with the dress instantly which was why I decided to wear the same dress for my post wedding photo shoot.
In case you are wondering why I wore hijab on my solemnization, the reason is, it is believed that the angels/”malaikat” will come down from heaven to give their blessings during solemnization. So, it is advisable to cover our “aurat” during the ceremony.
My entourage or “dulang” girls were all in a different colored plain baju kurung with lace sewn on their sleeves. Their hijab were sewn by Kak Joy.
My “accidental” pengapit was none other than my beloved niece cousin, Ira. I think it was fate that she was meant to be with me throughout the whole experience. She kept my wedding jitters in control. Drawbacks? We couldn’t stop talking to each other that we were constantly reminded to keep quiet. LOL!
Anyway, it is so unfortunate that I can’t share pictures just yet. I can only share a teaser picture from ShutterMonkeys.
Below is the video by TrueMoment produced within 24 hours so that it can be shown during our wedding reception. Even tho it was produced within a very short period of time, both my husband and I love the video and were very happy with the result. Kudos to TrueMoment! Hubster chose the song for this one. They are currently in the works of producing a video containing all of the highlights using "post-rock" music. Honestly, I can't wait for the final product! If you are looking for a videographer, I would personally recommend them. :)

Most of the videographers and photographers will be showing us the results within these two weeks. I can't wait to meet up with Qippy Photography team tomorrow night. Will update the details soon!
