Gubahan Hantaran 2011 - Sireh Junjung Deep Red

Gubahan Hantaran Sireh Junjung Deep Red

which is part of 7 pcs gubahan hantaran

in maroon and white theme color

done for Diba's engagement

Congratulations and thank you very much for the order. Diba is lucky coz I need to go back to my hometown that week for my kazen's engagement =) so dptlah tolong buatkan the hantaran for her too without additional delivery charge (^_~) new experience for me sebab pihak lelaki dari Penang so ada satu barang hantaran from Diba yang lebih manis dari chocolate dan cake...and it's not just literally "sweet" but memang lemak manis, berkrim lagi...apakah hantaran itu uols will have to find it out for yourself once I upload the rest of the picture ya...stay tune 8D...and below is snippet of gubahan hantaran done one week before fasting month (ok I know lambat gila update sampai skrg dah abes raya dah pon kan =) for my cousin dan 3 other set of gubahan hantaran yang tak sempat ambil individual picture sebab tak kecukupan masa terasa that weekend my lifespan dah shorten by half gulp o.O

7 pcs Red-White fresh flower for Norreha, 7 pcs Peach artificial flower for Farah, 5 pcs Pink-Purple fresh flower for Amir...guys kalo ada amik gambar cantik2x tu kindly send me a copy k =) I will definitely upload them here. Tqvm

9 pcs Red-White fresh flower for my cousin, Lina ... congratulations on your engagement =) and sorry buat orang2x kat kampung rasa panik (x larat nak drive malam coz the night before tak tido...) pukul 12.30 tghari baru sampai kampung untuk buatkan the hantaran (majlis pttnya kol 4 pm, I complete everything by 3 pm expert jek boleh buat macam ni amatur jangan cuba2x nanti boleh sakit jantung...hehe but by 5 pm that I leave sebab ada appointment with Diba kat BP Mall rombongan pihak lelaki belom sampai lagi 8D (ok I think sbb janjinya  lepas asar which is a bit too "open end") and for some reason I just wanna share info regarding "Duit Tanda Bertunang"which is sort of kinda must in Johor.  Duit Tanda Bertunang in value is equal to 10% from the agreed Duit Hantaran amount discussed during the merisik phase, so for example if the agreed hantaran value is RM 11,000.00, for this case duit tanda will be equal to RM 110.00 and eventhough not compulsory but it's best to give new banknote and nicer if your fold it into flower or something (somehow old bank note kinda lost it's "value" a bit hahaha the effort counts tau pegi berusaha carik duit baru tu kat bank ke mana2xlah...mcm jugak duit raya budak2x pon akan mengata kalo bagi duit "buruk"). Later during wedding you still need to give in full amount of RM 11, 000 (and not just 90% of it eventhough dah bagi 10% masa bertunang, duit tanda is not an offset to the actual amount ya =)

And just for info sbb masih ramai yang confuse about my location now, actually I'm home base in Seksyen U8, Taman Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam, order for Johor can be entertain by request if takde clash with the job here. Address in Empire Shopping Gallery in my business card is for correspondence only...now also because of the explosion cannot meet over coffee or anything there =( for meetup we can arrange it at my house or other public place i.e. Subang Parade, Ikea, The Curve etc (not Mid Valley please sbb parking is a pain...haha I stay in Shah Alam but Shah Alam shopping complex not favorable sgt jugak coz in my opinion agak sunyilah tempat shopping here XD yang paling tak berkenan kena lalu banyak roundabout untuk sampai ke sana = kalo Giant Stadium Shah Alam boleh gaklah sebab dekat je dgn rumah =)

which is part of 9 pcs gubahan hantaran

in maroon and white theme color

done for Ayu's wedding in April 2011

ok dah 'meningkat' jadi 3 bulan nampaknya for me to upload new hantaran picture to this blog huhu =( (hehe saja je nak bagi uols anticipate for more lalala perasanlah kan ada ke yang tertunggu2x my update tuu...ok tapi sebenarnya tgh sentap sbb ada ramai pencuri digital kat dunia maya ni...dah letak watermark beso2x pon masih selamba ambik my picture tak tau nak rasa marah ke nak rasa bangga sbb my work cantik sangatlah kot (ok this sounds lame for some, or a bit nauseatic for others muahaha masuk bakul angkat sendiri) sampai ada yang 'sudi' nak jadikan my work as their portfolio hampehs)...btw kepada yang nak 'tiru' idea for gubahan balang kuih raya uols kena tunggu keluaran majalah masa Ramadhan k, insyaallah hari khamis ni ada magazine photoshoot for that (adeh malasnya nak kemas rumah...at the moment I can't see the bottom of my working desk...huhu kena usahakan kemas arini)...magazine apa nanti I'll update once its out already. For that I am going to sell diy kit, uols can follow the step by step instruction in that magazine and buy the required material from me, so bolehlah uols discover your own creative side (^_~) and berbangga dgn hasil tangan sendiri nanti ya =)... I'm thinking of conducting kelas gubahan hantaran jugak nanti so kepada yang agak2x terlebey fussy tu boleh buat gubahan sendiri or I can train protege that I can trust untuk pass on the job  hehe so I can focus more on chocolate and cookies making plak pas ni 8D

which is part of 7 pcs fresh flower hantaran

in ivory and green theme color

done for Puan Norridah from Shah Alam, Selangor

and this is for her son's wedding in March 2011.

Thank you very much for the order.

Really sorry did not manage to capture the picture of all 6 other item because of time constraint even this picture is only taken using my handphone (belom replace my lost camera lagi masa ni and I crash my sis punya memory card masa ni miahaha sbb amek gambo sampai abes bateri huhu I always do this with my camera so far tak pernah crash kekeke pakai kamera pinjam bleh crash plak lalala migrain sekejap dahlah byk jugak gambo dlm tu uhuks)...the final sireh junjung with bunga pinang, kapur and gambir included also did not manage to snap one... I'm sorry that I will not be able to share my 'evidence" of work as much as before and give my feedback as promptly so that's why it's best if you can meet me face to face during wedding exhibition, next will be in Stadium Melawati Shah Alam on 1st - 3rd July 2011...I guess the busier I become the less update this blog will get and also the longer time you will have to wait for my feedback, please be understanding and be patient waiting otherwise you can always call me directly for a faster feedback if you have any inquiry or you are all that ready to place your order but I did not give the account no or issue Paypal invoice for you to make the payment yet...ok my follow up after that might not be prompt but your call will sure get your name into my attention and you will get my reply as soon as deem possible slightly faster than others in the backlog list (I will try to reply to all today)...ok I know my email reply is even slower than the conventional snail mail huhu =( (I should really get a pa who can keep track of my appointment cum tukang kemas rumah, jawab email, etc....huhu the storage room dah even worst than a shipwreck after bawak masuk semula brg2x dari exhibition haha need to get someone untuk kemasdah...it's beyond my own means dah utk mengemas sendiri =)

which is part of 7 pcs fresh flower hantaran
in ivory and green theme color
done for Zuliyati from Muar, Johor

and this is for her brother's engagement

on 3rd July 2010.

Thank you very much for the order eventhough we did not have the chance to meet face to face (^_~)

Zuliyati requested for a grandeur sireh junjung, hence we include tuberose (bunga harum sundal malam) for extra sweet scent and and include 3 pcs of our very own handmade bunga pinang, kapur and gambir (see how our bunga kapur really jive as filler flower in there, at a glance it looks just like other white peacock used inside the gubahan =) that's how our design is very much special from other bunga pinang, bunga kapur and gambir that you can find in the market. Ours is gubahan tested and thus blends beautifully inside your sireh junjung ^O^ Other flowers used inside this gubahan beside the tuberose and white peacock are roses in ivory/cream, yellow peacok, white peacok, green pom pom mums and of course the betel leaves/sireh. And for your guys info, if you wanna diy your gubahan sireh junjung or gubahan using fresh flower we do sell them in bulk, for rose minimum 2 dozen @ RM 35 and please pre-order 1 week in advance. TQ.

Gubahan Hantaran Lesson 101 - How High your Sireh Junjung Need to be???

Sireh Junjung is a beautiful arrangement of betel leaves and flower(s) complete with "ingredients" to eat the betel with i.e. Kapur, Gambir, Tembakau and Bunga Cengkih. Even in our modern days now, Gubahan Hantaran Sireh Junjung is still a must item inside any set of gubahan hantaran. It is considered as the "head" of the gubahan hantaran set. So it is very important for the Sireh Junjung to be beautiful, pleasing to the eye. 

However the design nowadays have evolve so Sireh Junjung does not need to be that sky high anymore.

haha this definitely cannot fit inside a car...and if it's this sky high you'll need to carry the Sireh Junjung on top of your head like the pics below!!!

Very menjunjung adat indeed!!! Pictures taken from here.

A modern Sireh Junjung design emphasis more on the flower arrangement rather than the betel leaves so it looks more like a flower bouquet rather than the traditional "high rise" Sireh Junjung design.

However if your engagement or wedding is held around community that strongly adheres to adat tradisi warisan melayu, a modern design sireh junjung may not be highly regarded/appreciated and thus deem unsuitable, hence it is recommended to opt for the conventional upward "high rise" design. But no worries it doesn't need to be as sky high like the one in the old days XD

And eventhough the deco for gubahan hantaran from the bride side should look more beautiful and more attractive as compared to hantaran from the groom side, but according to tradition Sireh Junjung from the groom side must be higher than Sireh Junjung from the bride side. So in conclusion whatever design or height that you choose, sireh junjung given by the groom must always be higher than the sireh junjung received from the bride. Hope this infos can help you with selecting the design/height of your Sireh Junjung which importantly serves as the head of your gubahan hantaran set. Some of you might wonder what is the role of Tepak Sireh then if the Sireh Junjung is already considered as the head of your gubahan hantaran set. OK this article on Tepak Sireh, we will need to do our research first (takut woh kalo nanti terbagi salah info) and that will be our next gubahan hantaran lesson 101 tips.
