Pulang ke KL

Huhi.... Punye la lama cerita ni diperam.
Da hampir sebulan blk....baru nk citer al kisah perjalan balik ari tu.
18Feb adalah tarikh keramat yg sgt dinanti2kan sejak 1st day smpai sana. Kekeke. 2 bulan duduk kat negara org yg sejuk tu...terpaksa sabar bnyk2. Well, everything were smoothly....sbnrnya TAK pon! Tp now da selamat smpai kan. Hihi.

My biggest concern is about my luggage! Subhanallah...bnyk giler brg2 I. Tido mlm tak lena....fikirkn mcm mana nk bw blk sume brg2 ni. Had limit emirates hanyalah 30kg checkin luggage and 7kg hand carry. masa packing barang...mmg terlebih muatan. Terpaksa redha I tgglkn 1duvet utk ship asing ke msia. I beli 2 duvet kt sana...mmg murah gilerrrrr. Ahahaha... 1 da selamat bw blk....da rasmi kan pon. ;)

On the day pegi airport. Total luggage melebihi 17kg. OMG! Bnyk gile nk kena repack blk. Nasib baik mmg bw extra luggage utk repack. So, dan2 tu la punggah blk luggage and terpaksa tgglkn lg ape2 brg yg rasa bley di shipped kemudian. Huhu....antaranya, actifry! Omg.....lmbt lg la actifry tu nk smpai kt msia. Tp its ok.... Everything fine now. Kotak ship brg dr sana..besar giler. I pon muat masuk dlm tu. 30kg per box...dlm rm200 tmbang hantar ke msia...guna kapal laut. Hmmm...not bad. Cuma lambat skit je la.

Anyway...brg yg bw blk bnyk2 tu, bukan bnyk brg I pon, but more to brg2 yg kawan my SIL pesan. Hihi... I nak bising2 pon... Mmg TAK la kan...sbb she kindly enuf to support my flying ticket. So..I bnyk sacrifice brg2 I utk shipped asing and just kuarkn duit shipment around rm200. Huhu.. Sila bersyukur.

Travel blk sorg2...adalah sgt menyayat hati! Chewahhh..tp fedulik ah... Hati mmg berkobar2 nk blk... Rindu sgt da ngan Msia. Hikhik. Flight journey total 14jam + 3jam transit kt Dubai. MasyaAllah. Sgt exhausting! Dgn lapar dan haus sepanjang masa! Hihi. Nasib la food yg emirates provide adalah tiptop! Kenyang dan menggemukkn. Wuwuwuw.

Bertolak dr Glasgow dlm kul 1tgh hari. Smpai di Dubai 12tgh mlm. Huhi...ramai giler okeh manusia kt Dubai tuh! Sebijik mcm kt pasar borong! Haishh. Da la masa smpai kt Dubai...I'm kinda lost. Sbb kt boarding pass yg I dpt masa di Glasgow..diorg tak print num gate utk my next flight. Haaaaaa....mengagau nk cari. Airport Dubai trsgt busy smpai my flight tu terpaksa parking jauhhhhh dr terminal! Kt tgh padang terkukur mana tah dia parking. Kuar pintu flight..kena turun tangga. Pergh...ni da standard naik air asia je nih... Menggigil la nak turun tangga tu...dgn kendong bnyk brg! Nasib baik...sikit lg je nk menitik air mata. Ahahahahha. Sungguh mermaid.

Turun dr flight, kena naik shuttle bus plak. 15min yer perjalanan nk ke main terminal. Fuhh..jauh tu. Bila da smpai.....once again. Terpinga nk cari gate. Sekeping infoboard pon x jumpa lg masa tu. Yg ada...kena lalu check security dulu. Ramai sgt org...not just my flight je yg landing kt padang terkukur. Flight2 lain pon sama gak. I antara org terawal...so, x de la kena beratur lama sgt. Then just follow sign departure gate. Besar and cantik giler airport dubai. Naik tangga turun lif, still x nmpk ape2 infoboard. Ok. Cuak giler. So...ada bangla tepi tu dok mcm tunjuk2 arah. So, I just ckp...malaysia je.. Haa.. Dia suh la naik lif besau tu. Betul da ni. I kat jln yg benar. Bila da smpai atas...baru la jumpa segerombolan manusia yg sgt ramai. Sesak okeh! Mcm2 org ko leh jumpa. Bukan 1 msia lg da. Tu da 1dunia.

Finally bru jumpa information counter yg besar dan infoboard super besar. Adoiii..ramai org la plak. Terpaksa la I kecik2kn mata ni..cari my next flight..gate bape. Fuh...da jumpa gate...lega giler! Terus pegi cari gate..tetiba no flight da sama. Tp ada dia tulus g Melbourne. Haaa..suda. Jgn smpai aku sesat ke Melbourne sudaaa. Rupanya...flight tu mmg g Melbourne pon. But transit kt Msia. Fuhh...legaa sgt. Now ni...nk pegi toilet utk sheshee plak. Adoii.. Satu lg masalah bila travel sorg2. Takkn la nk heret sume handluggage ni masuk toilet kan? Mmg tak arrr. Fikir punye fikir...mmg terpaksa tgglkn luggage kejap dan lari laju2 ke toilet sblum pundi kencing meletup. Huhi. Masalah plg besar...I bw balik handbag gucci yg org pesan. Huhi..tu kalo hilang..mmg masak ar. Mana nk cekau lg 2k nk byr ganti rugi. Tp...setelah jampi2...dan cari lokasi strategik...I cover cantik2 with my winter coat. Huhi. Lari cpt2. Bila da setel...nasib baik dtg ada lg sume brg2 tu. Fuhhh..lega.

Ingt nk pusing2 kt dlm airport. Tp sgt letih dan tak larat..plus mls nk mengheret luggage sume. My fren ckp..ada free meal utk ppl yg transit. Tp sbbkn da kul 12tgh mlm..cafe tu da tutup kot. Huhu...nth la..tak cari or tnya org pon. Sbb everyone busy buat hal sendiri. Tp rasa teringin nk g mkn free tu, sbb tgh lapar. Kekekekke.

Dlm kul 3pg....I da slamat fly ke msia. Ni lg la semangat. Dlm flight...tak leh tdo sgt. Bz tgk segala muvie yg ada.. Haha..not bad la. Pastu makan..minum...tdo. Smpai kl...dlm 2tgh hari. Wah..ni mmg teruja habis. Masa dlm transit train da dpt rasa kehangatan cuaca Msia. Syukur sgt! Amik masa dlm 2-3 hari gak nk adapt ngn cuaca Msia. Tekak ni...takyah ckp ah dia punye kering mcm mana. Rasa nak sedut air 24jam. Haus giler okehhhh.

Err..terpanjang plak entry ni. Wuwuwuw.

Its All about Diamond


Liv : Color?
Emma : Colorless

Liv : Cut?
Emma : Brilliant

Liv : Clarity?
Emma : Slightly included.

Liv : Carat?
Emma : Almost, maybe just under. More than he could afford, i'm sure.

-Bride Wars, 2009
my fav scene lakonan Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson

Dulu2...masa tgk citer ni..rasa mcm wow! diorg ni mmg bijak sungguh...tgk je cincin cinonet tu..leh tau everything! really2 wow! Now ni......when its my turn...utk di sunting... kihkih...haruslah amik tahu pasal Diamond 101 kan. Mari2... I nak share something might be useful. When Mr. Soon-to-be ask me to study about diamond.....I pon cepat2 la google kan. tp satu hape pon tak faham weih. Kebetulan...tadi I pegi jalan2 kat Midvalley....termasuk la kt kedai Diamonds & Gold Poh Kong, kat LG...dekat ngan jusco bwh sekali tu. This one SA, chinese man, really2 good sales assitant ya! Very polite and serve me nicely. I'm looking for diamond ring with certificate. Not to mention, I nak yellow gold. oh..sungguh mengada.

Hampir seminggu gak ring hunting ye. Mmg sgt susah nk jumpa diamond ring yg guna emas kuning...sbbnya, emas kuning terlalu lembut, tak bley nk support diamond. Thats why la mostly diamond ring adalah white gold. Bukkannye sebab trends semasa...atau pon white gold tu lg menyerlah kan diamond. bullshit sume tu. kihkih. Alasan yg sebenar : emas kuning tak mampu nk support diamond yg keras itu ye. wuwuwu. kalo ada pon..diorg takkan guna emas 916.

Tapi..kalo tgk kat Poh Kong, diorg mmg bnyk design diamond ring yg emas kuning. So tadi, lepas berborak2 dgn SA yg budiman tu...baru la I tahu kenapa mostly diamond ring takde cert la...blaa..blaa..blaa...itu ini. hihi. syioks sgt. smpai tido pon tak lena...asyik termimpi2 kan diamond sajo.

First of all, mari I terangkn pasal 4C regarding Diamond. Ni benda wajib nk tau..kalo korg nk beli diamond la kan.
1) Cut
2) Color
3) Clarity
4 ) Carat

Cut
Excellent Cut ( HW Grade 1 to 1+ )
Good Cut ( HW Grade 2 to 3 )
Average Cut ( HW Grade 4 )
Commercial Cut ( HW Grade 5 to 6 )
Irregular Cut ( HW Grade 7 to 8 )


Diamond yg jual kt kedai emas, da tentu la Excellent Cut kan.. wth kalo dia nk jual yg commercial cut bagai kt kedai diorg. Mmg bakal2 pengantin tak dtg beli la nanti kan? hihihi. So, kalo tgk gambarajah..maybe leh faham skit ape yg dimaksudkn dgn 'cut' atau pon potongan. Haruslah bersimetri cantik2..supaya diamond tu sparkle2 kan.


Ni adalah ideal Diamond Propotion.

Ala2..anatomi sebuah diamond. Amboihh...siap pakai girdle bagai la si diamond ni. hihu

Color
Jangan memain..kita tgk je diamond tu sparkle cun2..tapi rupa2 nya ada warna weih. Paling top...adalah colorless laa... so...here the range. Start dari huruf D ye. tu plg mahal la tuh...mmg tak bewarna. yg ko nmpk..adalah kilau2an yg mencucuk mata. hikhik. Diamond paling murah..adalah kaler kuning skit. Grade dia paling hujung skali. huruf Z. Tapi kalo tgk diamond yg cinonet tu, colorless ngan near colorless...takde beza sgt pon. seriusly..yang ko nmpk..hanyalah kilauan yg cucuk2 mata. huhuhu





Tips nak tgk color diamond. bukan dari atas yer. ko kena tgk dari tepi..supaya nmpk badan diamond tu...baru leh nmpk true color sebenar diamond tu!.
The best way to assess diamond color is to view it from the side, un-mounted, against a white background, using a daylight fluorescent bulb.

Clarity
ni penting...mmg tentukan harga diamond kaw2. ni nk tgk sama ada diamond tu ada defect ke tak. Defect2 ni adalah berada di dalam diamond tu ok. bukan kat luar permukaan tau. yela..diamond pon kekadang mcm org gak..mana ada nk perfect sokmo kan. Bley tgk kat gambarajah tu. paling mahal..da tentu la Internally Flawless (IF). pergh..ni mmg plg perfect ok! sebesar zarah defect pon tak de ni. Ditangga kedua adalah Very Very Slightly Included (VVS1 and VVS2). haa..hamik..smpai double very tu. tu ala2 sezarah je la kot yg defect. huhi. and the list goes on. leh la refer kt chart ok. korang tgk jer yg mcm comot2 garis2 hitam, tompok2. itu je la beza dia. bukannye cut ke hape yeh. and dont worry, even korang beli diamond yg Very Slightly Included (VS1 and VS2) atau pon Slightly Included (SI1 amd SI2) still diamond korang tak nmpk cacat celanya. Sbb..defect2 ni sume leh nmpk bwh microscope je dek non hoii. dgn 10kali ganda tahap fokus. huhi. so.. dpt SI1 tu pon da bleh bersyukur... sbb mmg beza harga yg gile2 punyer okeh. beza dlm 2k. giler tak? VVS1 ngn VS1...beza smpai 2k. hamboihh...padahal tak nampak pon kecacatan dia. maka dgn itu, sila berjimat.





Carat
Lastly..adalah carat. Carat ni adalah unit utk mengukur size diamond. 1 Carat = 0.20gram. Kalo nk diamond yg ada certification aka surat beranak dia... SA pohkong tu ckp..diamond harusla paling kecik pon 0.3 Carat. tu bersamaan 0.06 gram ye kawan2 sekalian. Itu I tgk pon da cukup besar da tu. huhi..mcm tak sesuai la plak nk jadikn wedding ring utk kasta2 rendah mcm I ni. Thats why la...diamond2 ring susah nk jumpa yg ada cert. sbb below than 0.3 carat. kan slalu cinonet je kan diamond2 kt cincin2 yg da siap tu. hihi



Itulah..antara benda basic yg kena tau..kalo korang ni penggemar tegar berlian la kan. Frankly, I tak penah minat pon berlian. Masa first day start ring hunting tu....i just like "ala..batu zirkoin ni pon bley la b... i tak kisah pon..janji emas kuning. lepas tu..i tak minat la design yg jenis diamond sebiji gedabak tu. tak suke~ nnt tersangkut2. payah tau" and then...sekali sarung dan tenung cincin berlian kat jari mulus ku ini.. terus.. WOW! tak berkata2 ok. bukan main sparkle lg diamond tu..siap cucuk2 mata ku ini. adus...terus jatuh hati. Ok b.. please2..buy diamond ring for me. ahahaha.

Terus I mcm TAK KISAH. ok...B...tak de barang kemas lain pon tak pe da. janji dpt diamond ring sebijik...with my desire design. cukup ar tu. mmg tak buka2 da lepas kawin nanti. Yang tak suka design seketul gedabak, sangkut2 bagai tu entah kemana hilang tah. terus jadi SUKAAAAA plak. adoii. hihi.

So, if kt Poh Kong, that gentleman ckp...if I insist nk juga diamond yg ada cert, I bley purchase diamond asing, then diorg bley customade ring utk I. Yeay! itu yg nk dgr tu. Mostly ring yg da siap...sungguh la tak berkenan ngan design nye. I nak cincin tu lebar sket...so I can engraved something like 'Till death do us part' ker. muahaha.. mengada kan? Pastu..crown yg hold diamond tu..biar la bersilang skit. ha...camne tu? pepandai la imagine sendiri ye? if tak..tggu tahun dpn lepas kawin..baru ku revealkn cincin ku. ecececece.

Now, to my dear, Nazaruddin....I da bley graduate da ni bout diamond kan. ^^ lets decide together. :D Lalalala~
