~Sireh junjung~

Sireh junjung..tradisi melayu yang sudah lama diperkenalkan and diangkat sebagai hantaran wajib dalam majlis perkahwinan. One interesting fact:: Kalau makan sireh junjung from any wedding, that is kite kene amek curik2 sireh tu n makan, Insyaallah..xlame lagi sampai la jodoh kite.. Really?!! Source fact or a myth ni is dari makcik2 ayu..sebab diorang tgk ank2 dara yg comey lotey duk bawak sireh tu n terus bagi tip..siap suruh kitorang amek je, baca selawat ape sume,doa then makan..amek berkat, kata diorang..kalw salah pun, at least it counts as a prayer.. so benda baik memg usually dapat kan..hehe ^_^ 
 Anyway, 2nd wedding of the month:: Wedding Lobo (abg ayu) and kak mira.19th Feb and it was held at a masjid kat Gombak ni je..name masjid, pernah bace and memg slalu lupe..kitorang slalu refer masjid tu, masjid hijau kat simpang nk gi Greenwood..haha
It's funny if I should think back how these two actually starts dating and the misunderstanding and fights but somehow they end up married jugak..Tu la, orang cakap..kalw da jodoh, xkan kemana..Alhamdullilah, after the 4th time of akad..Kak Mira da selamat bergelar isteri..Yup. 4x kot baru jadik..punyer nak cakap nervous sampai tok imam n abg long kak mira pun da tersasul2..haha..then upacara batal air smyg and pictures time!!

Dekat masjid and kami memang suke amek gambar..see..anak2 dara xnak lepas kejap pun sireh junjung tu..haha..I tried to take one and eat it..but couldn't stand the smell..so cancel la nk amek berkat..doa je la camtu..Insyaallah bile da sampai seru and Allah da bukak hati untuk terima tgjwb jadi isteri, I kawen..hihihi.. Majlis akad nikah pas Asar, so after da selesai sume, kitorang ramai2 pergi rumah pengantin perempuan untuk makan2..antara menu hidangan is daging rendang, gulai kambing, ikan talapia grg letak cili sume tu, ayam grg and air yg xleh dikenalpasti rase ape..hehe

Later that night pun da ade sanding kecil2an, along with majlis maulud and cukur jambul kot.. Didnt' stay long though, after that nak gi lepak McD ngn ank2 kecik tapi diorg cam takut ngn aunties ni..so hantar depa balik..kite lepak kat Babas and makan lagi..
 Next day, baru la majlis besar-besaran..da siap pakai cantik around 1 pm kitorang gerak pg homestay kat Greenwood tu..pergi la menyibuk ngn family ayu.. konon2 la kami ni penting sangat.. tapi Cik Esah da cakap da..kami ni memg da jadi cam ank2 angkat kot..ye la..Ayu sorg je kot ank dara die, then kawan2 ayu da merangkap anak2 die jugak..Thank you..suke bangat!!
Majlis persandingan hari tu dibuat ikut adat orang minang, sebab kak mira memg turun temurun orang minang.. bersanding pun pakai baju org minang..even flower girl siap pakai benda atas kepala tu..comel je nampak..kitorang, say "oooo" and ok la...kite amek gmbr byk2..and makan je sume yg ade.. haha..i always love wedding, people in nice clothes, food n the celebration itself~

 Bride and Groom in so much red..it did struck me..cam tema CNY pun ade..hey, xbaek cakap2 camtu..nice je kot..kang cakap sedap2..tgk la majlis kite nanti cane..sebab xnak jadi jinx..so okay..tarik balik kata2 ku tadi..everything looks and was nice je..hehe~

~ February && Wedding Bells ~

Just finished one of my midterm:: Robotics. Did I do well? Mmm..let's  wait and see..besides, lost few marks for my ignorance of some of the lectures..so, I'll get what I deserve..Still, hope it turned out okay somehow...aminnn...

Wedding bells?? February and valentines..time for cupids to spread love and couples celebrate their memories and love..Well, in Islam..valentine is totally prohibited since it's actually marked the day to celebrate christian saint really..So forget about valentine and have weddings instead! Earlier this month which is on the 5th, I went all the way to Melaka to attend a wedding of my ex-schoolmate. Aziahanim Azah, one of my schoolmates from mrsmKT.  It has been ages since I last seen any of them actually. Been missing the reunions and not having a real contact with any of them. Thank godness I've actually set up my FB account  and finally got in touch with some. We remains friends..more like distant friends since I'm not really the kind of person really hangs onto past times..I love them all but tend to focus only on those I met and mingle on my everyday basis... But never rejects the idea of going back to school life and be with them again..it was so much fun and carefree back then..
Well Pijah, one my good friend from KT asked if I wanna join her and others to the wedding...and I said yes!! So, Pijah, Farid and Jali (abg homeroomku) along with Fatihah (awek Farid), we all went there, eat, meet up some friends, chit chat,  took pictures, wishes the couples a happy marriage...and my oh my..everybody has grown up so much..and here I am..yet to finish my degree..well,, I'll be next!! Graduated, hired and perhaps learned to dress up since all of them seemed so lawa!!
(pictures..credit to pijah...)




Next wedding will be next week:: 19th (Greenwood) and 27th (Melaka). It's Ayu's brother actually, Lobo..but hey, we are all invited and definitely going and celebrating since she's my bestie and inofficially, her family is my family angkat!!

During the CNY holiday, I've already had my fair share of "Before you say I do" events..preparation for my adik's wedding this march and engagement of my kak long...Dearest adik is 21 and got married during the last aidilfitri actually...haha, another shocker of my life:: kene langkah bendul..;p The wedding celebration is postponed due to some reasons. So I helped her to buy some stuff needed for the goodie bags for the wedding and also chose some very beautiful wedding dresses for the big day.. I have so much fun and really glad that she trusted me to help her make the decisions..and I am well prepared for I just love those pretty things..^_^... Done so much things that made me lost words to describe and tell everything...I think the pictures shall help to remind myself the heartwarming moments...

~ flowers ~ ecah ~ colours ~ bunga telur ~ our  craftwork ~

I am not a girl, not yet a woman..but when it comes to beautiful dresses, which are lots!! we all went crazy and everything seems so pretty...

Engagement day! Kak long's another hope of love and perhaps found her truly the other half?? InsyaAllah..It's her life and she made up her mind. I'm here to support my every sister and pray that love and warmth shall fill our hearts... 
My time for the big day is yet to come..looong..a very loonnggg way to go..So lets just love the wedding and celebrate for others!!
