Aaah.. one of my favourite times of the year! How can it not be? Good food! Beautiful people! Saya suka kenduri kawin. Ayam masak merah (Thats chicken in thick red gravy, sweet and a little spicy and sourish Goddd help me). Pajeri Nenas - sort of a Pineapple Chutney..and yes it is yummy in the first degree! Real Beef Rendang, lol not that there are unreal ones.. it's just that they just taste BETTER at the wedding! :P
My nieces are getting married. My cousins daughters. One, just did today and I missed it. I actually forgot! Totally my bad!
The word is gotong-royong. Its a Malay word, loosely translated, community team work..people in the neighborhood, close relatives, very close friends..will all come to lend a helping hand! Those days, people like my parents (Al-Fatihah untuk Chik and Ayah) had their childrens wedding at home. Hotel weddings or wedding at community halls were something "ridiculous" those days. Because we want to have the special day at our home.
These days however, everyone wishes to have their weddings, (parents and brides/grooms alike) at a hotel or, at least..the community hall. Mostly because, it's easier. Convenient is more like it. Imagine hundreds of guests. The raw materials. The leftovers. Its a mess, trust me. But its the most treasured.
OK guess what.. you know the "oops, waitaminute.." look, or in the movie, it even has a sound effect..like youre applying an emergency brake..because they need to to do that flash back thingy..or tell the real deal!
OK, haha, Im feeling guilty, thats the cue. Now you know. I have put this on hold way too long. So I kinda lost my way..
But to both nieces and nephews, Congratulations! I pray for your happiness.
Pheww ThankGod..I forgot what i wanted to write about, but I remember thinking about uploading my own wedding photos!!!! (just what were you thinking norrie?)
maybe another time, another place..
another man?
