I've been wondering lately, what kind of suit will be worn by my groom? Pertanyaan ini agak sulit dijawab karena dalam menentukan pilihan, aku dihadapkan pada beberapa batasan. Dua batasan yang jelas terlihat adalah bahwa postur tubuh calonku bukanlah postur tubuh lelaki kebanyakan, dan tentunya batasan finansial. It should be great looking, but still within the budget. How much is the budget actually? None :) I'm still hoping that it won't cost us any penny :p
Jelas terlihat bahwa masalahnya tidak terletak pada model yang diinginkan, tetapi pada ukurannya :) bahkan ketika ingin meminjam pun, hal ini jadi pertanyaan utama: What is the biggest size that you can found in your cupboard?
Well, hal ini tentunya membuatku menyimpan rencana tambahan. Bagaimana jika kita membuat sendiri? Hmmm, tampak suatu ide yang bagus bukan? karena pastinya kita akan membuat jas yang sesuai dengan ukuran kita, ya kan? Then, berapa harga yang harus dikeluarkan jika kita ingin menjahit jas sendiri?
Not so long ago, i happened to walk across a Harry's Palmer Boutique in Taman Anggrek Mall. I know that they make excellent suit because of their reputation. I was curious about the prize in making a great lookin suit there. I googled, then i found out about their prize range when they were asked to make 2 suits for Damian Aditya's wedding. It was about Rp 15-20 millions. That is still a lot of money for us.
To make this story shorter, i then asked my mom to call a friend of her, who is also a tailor. I just needed to know the real number we need to spend for making a suit. There... he said that now it will cost us Rp 800-900.000 for a pair of suit, that includes the pants, but not including the fabrics. Hmmm, that is still a lot of money...
Anyway... we are still brainstorming and searching for multiple options. We haven't decided yet. Hopefully, we will get the best out of it :)
Beberapa hari belakangan ini aku sering tertarik untuk melihat model-model undangan di internet. Why internet? Kenapa gak langsung datang aja ke salah satu percetakan undangan pernikahan? Bukankah banyak banget tempat seperti itu? Misalkan saja di Pasar Tebet, di sana ada lebih dari satu kios yang menawarkan jasa cetak undangan pernikahan. Berdasarkan review yang aku dapat (lagi-lagi kebanyakan dari internet), mereka memiliki banyak sekali contoh model undangan dengan harga murah tentunya. Well, bisa jadi konsep cetak yang mereka tawarkan adalah mereka sudah punya template, tinggal mengganti nama pengantin, alamat, dan detail-detail lain. Yup, aku yakin sekali mereka akan melakukan cara itu.
Hmmmm, sebelum aku menjawab pertanyaan di atas, izinkan aku untuk menampilkan gambar model undangan yang banyak aku terima. Biasanya modelnya cenderung seperti ini:
Aku tak mengatakan model-model seperti ini jelek, bahkan aku menganggap ini model yang bagus. Hanya saja, model ini cenderung menggunakan bahak kertas yang tebal dan banyak.
Tapi ada juga yang mengirimkan undangan yang terbuat dari bahan kertas karton yang lebih tipis. Sayangnya, nilai keindahan model ini, setidaknya yang sering aku terima, banyak diminimalisasi, bahkan terkesan kaku atau terlalu penuh dengan tulisan.
Karena alasan inilah maka saya memutuskan untuk hunting lewat internet. Saya berharap bisa menemukan desain-desain yang exceptionally beatiful, yet still simple.
Dan ternyata saya benar. Desain-desain yang dibuat oleh para orang bule itu sangat aku sukai. Pertama, karena mereka selalu punya tema untuk undangan mereka. Well biasanya tentu saja sesuai dengan tema pernikahan mereka.
Kedua, mereka berani menampilkan desain tulisan yang lebih beragam.
I definitely gonna use their service, not because the photographer (Kak Arwan) and the make-up artist (Kak Fia) are my cousins or because i go to their studio twice a week, but because they have excellent portofolios.
Check these out:

I've been photographed by Kak Arwan a couple times, and here are some of my personal collections that ware taken by him.
yeah... yeah... in ikhas aku banget: deadlines!
i gotta go out of this habit!!!
Aku sedang mempersiapkan pernikahanku. I like this adventure: encari tempat, mencari jasa katering dan dekorasi. Pheww....! Yang membuat hal ini tambah menarik adalah: budget!! hehehe, isn't that the problem that everyone got?
We only have a budget of Rp 50.000.000 for this marriage. Jumlah orang (bukan undangan) yang bakal datang kira-kira 500-700 orang. Our priority is excellent food although we'll have simple decoration. What should we do?
Here comes our first question: will it be at home or not?
Hmmmmm, apa ya?
Aku suka berlama-lama di depan komputer, bisa main game, atau bahkan sekedar merapikan file.
Aku suka nonton filem!
Nah, iya... itu... aku seneng banget kalo bisa nonton filem-filem keren.
Aku suka jalan-jalan sendiri: lihat-lihat, siapa tau ada yang menarik.
Aku suka mencoba makanan baru. Well, kayaknya ini salah satu hasil jalan-jalan sendiri deh.
Aku seneng sekali kalau bisa mengajak seseorang ke tempat makan yang bisa membuatnya senang. Jadi, sebisa mungkin aku sudah tau kondisi tempat yang akan kami tuju itu. Jika belum, i'll spend some time to go there before the D-day.
Aku suka memperhatikan orang-orang. Mereka ngapain aja siiih?
Aku suka ngisengin orang lain :p.
Aku suka menghayal. Hmmm, ada beberapa kok yang jadi kenyataan :D.
Kalau kamu, suka apa?

Apa itu kepribadian INTP?? | Expert Quotes & Links |
| "INTPs are relatively easy-going and amenable to most anything until their principles are violated, about which they may become outspoken and inflexible. They prefer to return, however, to a reserved albeit benign ambiance, not wishing to make spectacles of themselves." - INTP Profile (TypeLogic) "The INTP is above all a thinker and his inner (private) world is a place governed by a strong sense of logical structure. Every experience is to be rigorously analysed, the task of the INTP's mind is to fit each encountered idea or experience into a larger structure defined by logic." - An INTP Profile (intp.org) "INTPs live in the world of theoretical possibilities. They see everything in terms of how it could be improved, or what it could be turned into. They live primarily inside their own minds, having the ability to analyze difficult problems, identify patterns, and come up with logical explanations. They seek clarity in everything, and are therefore driven to build knowledge. They are the "absent-minded professors", who highly value intelligence and the ability to apply logic to theories to find solutions." - Portrait of an INTP (The Personality Page) |  | "The Architects' distant goal is always to rearrange the environment somehow, to shape, to construct, to devise, whether it be buildings, institutions, enterprises, or theories. They look upon the world -- natural and civil -- as little more than raw material to be reshaped according to their design..." - The Portrait of the Architect Rational (iNTp) (Keirsey) "INTPs contribute a logical, system-building approach to their work. They like being the architect of a plan, because of the scheming and thinking involved, far more than being the implementer of that plan. Implementation tends to be drudgery. They are content to sit back and think about what might work, given their view of the situation. INTPs may ignore standard operating procedures. The hours that they spend are not what is important to them, but rather the completion of their thought process" - INTP - The Wizard (Lifexplore) "likes solitude, not revealing, unemotional, rule breaker, avoidant, familiar with the darkside, skeptical, acts without consulting others" - Jung Type Descriptions (INTP) (similarminds.com) |
