Bye bye October..

Lets wrap up the month of October with a summary on my Bro's wedding (Boy):

-Early Oct:
I shall start with this statement......my one and only brother, Boy got married (*cough cough*).
Traveled all the way from Gombak to Singapore and to Tanjung Pinang (kepulauan Riau).
Arrived on Wednesday pm, received a warm welcome (harus la kannn hahaha) from the bride's family, treated with sedap-makan-x-hengat meal + air kelapa fresh oh menyegarkan. Late evening, checked in at the hotel.

Thursday:
Come afternoon, time for acara 'Siraman' for the bride and groom (separate event...ceh ingatkan ada wet tshirt contest muaaaahahahahahahahaha).
Evening: Malam berinai for both the bride and groom (but i didnt go, the kids fell asleep, so just stayed at the hotel).

~Tempat bersiram pengantin~

~Kakak pengantin menyiram adiknya..kompem u tak busuk setahun (je) hokeyyy!~

~Door gifts hari bersiram; sarong for the men, shawl for the women~

Friday morning:
Getting ready bersiap segala bagai sebab akad nikah di sebelah pagi.
Main mekap2..pakai baju cantek2...
Berkumpul kat lobby dgn hantaran2 mak nenek
Ada sessi salam2 nasihat2 antara pengantin ngan mak bapak pengantin.
Kelihatan syahdu di situ.
Namun kakak pengantin ngan adik pengantin bz posing amik gbr dgn sepupu sepapat yg ikut skali ;p

~Pelamin klasik~

~Barang2 hantaran~

Majlis bermula dgn acara berbalas pantun.
Sangat kagum tgk org berpantun secara ad hoc...
Walopun most of the time i was not really paying much attention because adik was grumpy (sleepy actually and it was hot in the house)
Luckily Aiman made himself busy playing with the ipad.
At last the tok kadi arrived, if not surely the pantun session will go on and on and on hehehe
Muka Boy tersangatlah control macho.. (ala i tau dlm hati ada cuak khennnn...lalalalala)

~Pengantin lelaki kontrol ayu...~

Dgn sekali lafaz (eceh seperti abang iparnya juga), Boy pun selamat ler menjadi suami (*cough cough lagi).
And finally the bride pun keluar la bilik (they were not allowed to see each other from the day we arrived until the day of the akad).
Baca takliq etc, sessi gambar2...sessi salam menyalam..sessi deraian ayaq mata..
yang penting sessi makaaannn...yesssss!
Abang ipar pengantin lelaki sangat sporting menyumbangkan suara merdunya secara live, dgn menyanyikan lagu p.ramlee -->; Engkau laksana bulan
Cayalah!!!!


Evening:
Went to the one and only big mall kat situ (ala2 the Store kot), Ramayana.. teman adik buat manicure (tak sempat nak buat jugak huhuhuhu)

Malam:
Had dinner at Lembu Potong..eh jap ke Potong Lembu??? Lupa la nama tempat dia.. makan siput gong gong (rasa mcm sotong, i loike :) )

~Siput glamer yang kenyal lagi sedap~

Saturday
Reception day
Tunggu lamaaaaaaa sgt tahap bosan baru mobil2 datang amik bawak ke Bintan Beach Resort.
Food as usual, mabeles...ada stalls with bakso, roti kirai, satay, nasik berlauk mcm2, ais krim. desserts etc.
Heaps of people....sampai parents pengantin lelaki duduk atas stage 5 jam kelaparan sebab tak makan (hohohohoho).

Rupanya style kat situ the parents from both sides must be on the stage with the bride and the groom because the guests will go up to wish them & bersalaman.
I think that's how it should be done, dah nama pun raja sehari...sepatutnya pengantin stay put dan org pergi jumpa pengantin dan bersalam-salaman, instead of the pengantin yg pergi dan bersalam-salaman dgn orang..tak ke?
Sunday:
Welcome back to Malaysia :)

*********************************************************
Majlis Sambut Menantu

-Was held at the Dewan Merak Kayangan Felda
-Typical wedding reception, nothing to elaborate hehehe
-But since mother of the groom did not want any pengapits, so the kakak pengantin had to go up on the stage and steal the light quite a few times (betulkan kain pengantin la, pengantin duduk tak center la, pengantin senget la bla bla bla)..
vaahhh glamer ai..mesti dlm gambar ada byk kelibat ai...hahahaha (sorry ye pengantin!)

~Some of the early guests~

~mari melantak~

~The groom & the bride~

~A view from the high table~

~Bukti kakak pengantin yang ter-dan-di-paksa enterprem ha ha ha~

~omg, is that the kakak pengantin again?? lalalalala~

Alhamdulillah, selesai sudah satu sinetrone....
On behalf of the family, I wish to apologize for any shortcomings throughout the event.
Tak sangka adik I dah kawen...huhuhuhu
Those childhood memories are still fresh in my mind
After 5 years of my life, u came into this world. Remember I coloured your nails, tie your hair, put make up on your face (hahaha..nasib baik you grew up to be straight!!)
I probably did that because I was in need for a sister...or maybe I didnt get enough dolls to toy around at that time muaaahahahaha!!
And I still remember how mischievous you were when u were a kid; you threw a bottle of vitamin into the toilet bowl... you poured water into the rice container (habis stok beras kat rumah jadi kembang!), u kept ur homework under the bed because you were too lazy to do it muaaahahaha and all those sorts of things boys usually do!
Aaahh..those were the days when I dictated you....ekekekekeke!!
Anyhow, you will always be my little brother...

Something from the sister to the newly wed,

Selamat Pengantin Baru to Boy & Nina
Semoga kekal bahagia hingga ke akhir hayat

Sail wisely together, upholding the Islamic pillars and virtue
For it is the base of your life
There will surely be ups and downs
And that will be the additional flavours to zest your life
I pray nothing more but the best in you together
May Allah give His grace, barakah and guidance to both of you
in venturing this new chapter of your life....

Next stop....or should I say the upcoming sinetrone --> my one and only sister's turn pulak....
hmmm....bilaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?????????? bilaaaaaaaaa???????
Mek, I wish u well, semoga cepat dipertemukan jodoh yg terbaekkkk!!!!!
muahhhhhhhhh
