Kitchen Tea Party and My Dream Kitchen

Assalamualaikum,

Apa khabar semua? Harapnya sihat-sihat belaka. I was down with fever a few days ago. Tapi lepas dua hari dah okay, Alhamdulillah. Hari ni I datang uni lewat sikit. Sampai je office pagi tadi terus nampak ada invitation card atas meja. Bila dah baca details, ohh dari Dianne rupanya. She invites me an the rest of my officemates to attend a 'Kitchen Tea Party' next week.

The invitation card

Kitchen Tea? What's that? Mula-mula baca kad tu I was a bit puzzled. I know that her daughter is getting married in January. Biasanya kalau depa ni nak kawen, mesti ada party macam Bridal Shower, Hens Party or Bachelorette Party kan? But a Kitchen Tea party is totally new for me. So I started googling to know more about it.

Then only I find out that this is a more classic and traditional way of celebrating a bride-to-be where the guests will bring items of kitchen equipment as wedding presents. Anyway, majlis ni tertutup untuk female sahaja. This is one way of preparing the b-2-b for married life and her soon to be new kitchen duties. How sweet and thoughtful is that?? :')

See, dalam mana-mana budaya sekalipun masih menekankan yang tempat orang perempuan ni mesti dekat dapur. Tak kira la belajar tinggi mana, pangkat apa, kawen dengan sapa, ke ceruk dapur jugak kita sebenarnya nanti. Bukan la maknanya kena 24jam dekat dapur, tapi paling tidak pun the kitchen will be marked as 'Your Territory'.

Speaking of which, I have always imagine how my dream kitchen will look like when I started living on my own later on. I nak something with earthy colour with the combination of a lot of white and brown hues. Ruang mesti kemas dan lapang, kalau boleh taknak nampak ada apa-apa atas tu. Semua ada storage masing-masing.

Cantik kan? Kemas dan bersih.

Love love love! Modern contemporary.

Macam ni pun best jugak. Nampak romantik. :)

Tapi semua ni dream okay? Dream semata-mata. Jadinya haruslah penuh dengan angan-angan mat jenin yang kalau tak dapat takpe, tapi kalau dapat terus aku angkut tilam bantal tido dekat situ. muahahaha. Over! :p
