Tips Memilih Wedding Photographer/Videographer

Assalamualaikum, hi dearies!

For those who are getting married (Congratulations!) and seeking photographer/videographer, these are the tips that I can share with you based on my experience.

Tips for choosing wedding photographer/videographer:

1. Know your budget.

2. Check for their work on Web, Instagram, Facebook, any social media. Use you stalking skills!

3.  Editing skills. Penting tau.. tapi jangan la jenis yang over edit sampai muka macam kartun. Kalau tak reti edit pun bahaya, nanti kesian la gambar yang hitam berminyak takda sapa nak cerahkan :p

4. Read the reviews from their previous client

5. Make price comparison with the items and package offered

Contoh: album berapa page, types of finishing for the album cover – leather/kaca/etc, coverage photographer/videographer dari pukul berapa, etc)

6. Mileage - transportation cost. Included ke tak and how much?

7. Video - berapa minit?

Important for you to discuss with them your expectations. Kalau boleh untuk video tak perlu berlakon (kena salam banyak kali ke) let it be natural. Pelik tau bila berlakon ni, jadi tak cantik.

A good photographer can take nice pictures even with a bad surrounding/condition if they know how to apply the right angle and camera setting.

Make sure before the photographer print out your album, you CHOOSE and CONFIRMED first your pictures, and also the arrangement. In my case, I didn’t get the chance to choose the pictures for my album which end up ada gambar yang tutup mata dan tak clear. It’s even sadder because when I check the softcopy, they actually got a lot of other better pictures!  I just don’t know why they choose the wrong pictures. Maybe they didn’t check before printing? L Sad but past is past, I don’t want you guys to experience the same thing okay? J

Maybe your budget is very tight and you want to choose the cheapest among all your existing choices but, bear in mind that don’t ever compensate price with quality. Ada yang offer murah tapi gambar tak cantik, ada yang mahal tapi output superb.. Banyak aspek untuk di consider but still, depends on you. Any decision that you made - make sure jangan menyesal dikemudian hari.

Like my uncle said – “mahal ada sebab, murah ada sebab.”

So choose carefully ok?

I hope this helps, and you’ll get the best wedding photographer/videographer ever. J

Nasi Lemak with Love (with recipe)

Assalamualaikum.

Resepi sambal ikan bilis saya refer blog Kak Azie - Sambal Tumis Ikan Bilis Sebagai Lauk Nasi Lemak (Memang sedap! Terima kasih kak)

Bahan-bahan masak nasi lemak rice cooker:

3 cawan beras

3 cawan santan segar 

1 cawan air

2 ikat daun pandan

Beberapa hiris halia

Garam secukup rasa 

Basuh beras. Tambahkan semua bahan dalam beras dan masak seperti biasa. 

Timun? Saya suka timun jepun sebab tak pahit.

Untuk kepekatan santan hubby suka pekat so lepasni semua pakai santan je tak perlu tambah air. Kalau tak suka santan banyak, boleh kurangkan, ikut taste masing-masing.

Cerita nasi lemak:

Well, I've promised to cook nasi lemak for hubby, janjinya masa tu nak buat esok pagi tapi terbabas bangun lewat so memang tak sempat nak masak. Sedih la jugak bila dia tanya nasi lemak pagi tu... Terasa loser, dah janji tapi tak masak..

Malam tu memang tidur ayam je, takut tak bangun awal. Esoknya berjaya bangun awal (yes!) dan lagi best, hubby pun tolong sekali buat sambal ikan bilis.

We did it! Rasa pun sedap, so yeah.. Nailed it! First time tau masak nasi lemak untuk si dia... ;)

Bekal untuk ofis for Mr Hubby -Nasi lemak with love~

Mine!

p/s: Ada satu feeling yang best bila orang enjoy makan apa yang kita masak lebih-lebih lagi orang yang kita sayang. J

Wondermama (Avenue K/Bangsar Village)

Assalamualaikum.

Spicy Chicken Salad. Pic courtesy of Paula. Thanks dear!

I've been to Wondermama several times and started to fall in love.. with their awesome Spicy Chicken Salad. Thanks to Paula for made me try this. Serious kenyang, jangan risau even it's just a salad. Rasa dia pedas pedas masam dengan sos sesame, bertambah sedap dengan ayam goreng panas dan sayuran yang segar! 

Their bandung drink is awesome - because it's so refreshing and less sweet, although the intensity of the pink colour is quite strong.

Not to forget the curry laksa - sedap woih. Sedap sama macam curry laksa Sisters, G Tower.

Curry Laksa

The rest of the dishes are not disappointing I must say. Their service (Avenue K branch) is pretty fast, and I still remember this waiter - a Chinese lady who just didn't stop smiling to the customers although it's peak hours and she need to deal with hungry customers queuing (looong que) outside the restaurant. Yes, hungry people can be scary, and I'm one of them...

The waiting time for food is tolerable (they take your order while in que and the food will be served when you get the seat.)

Rojak ada taugeh~ nothing so special about the sauce, it's just like normal petis (prawn paste) sauce

I've managed to taste a dessert in Bangsar Village branch, the Nangka Sticky Rice with Ice Cream. I'm loving it! No pictures cause I'm so indulged~ ok la, here's from the web, it's exactly like this:

Overall I'm happy with their food, would love to bring my family to dine here some time.

Thanks for the good food!
