:: Monday, June 12, 2006 ::
Heya peepz. For those who have read my blog before I even have the chance to preview & correct it, you might notice that its no longer there. That is because I wasn't in the correct state of mind whilst posting it. I was still a little shagged from the 2 days 1 night trip to ShaggedLand. And now, I'm posting a proper entry. Okay, here goes. Inhale, exhale.. Whoops.
The 2 days of shagging went on great. I was extremely exhausted but I still had fun. It isn't everyday that you get to see your relatives all bundled together, except of course, on Hari Raya, which is once a year, and also means once a year of meeting each other as well. Bad, right?
Okay, okay.. I'm gonna post some random pictures up here for the sake of my readers in case it gets too wordy & you got too bored. For more pictures, pls click here. And for more reviews of the wedding, pls proceed to Kak Farah's blog. Thank you.
Wait, wait.. I'm not telling you to go to those links now! Please stay & let me explain in my own words first alright? Good, good. Thanks for the attention.

Day 1 - 10th June : Solemnization (Ijab Kabul)

The dowry gifts for the bride..

I like this one!
In case all of you go cross-eyed in efforts to view the text on the cake, here's a close up..

There.. Much better..Thanks to good ol' me!

Ka-ching!

The groom all set to go. Steady lah!

The mentel me kaypo2 sending over the dowry gifts to the bride's. Eyy.. I helped out, ley!

The not-so-kaypoh cousin of mine, Kak Farah. Heehee!
Okay, okay.. There was a funny part I'd like to share. The ever so confident myself & Kak Farah went up to the bride's storey, and started our walk to her house. But as we turned the corner, we saw 2 cameramen all set to snap away their camera flashes at us. Guess what we did? We ran back to the lift! Haha! You should see our expressions, man. All shocked! So funny sia!!
Now back to the pictures..

The three men all tensed, waiting for the Kadhi.
I heard Abg Fauzi's soul screaming,"Help, help!".
Read out your responsibilities now..
Yeay yeay.. In just one "lafaz", he's now the official lawfully wedded husband.. Alhamdulillah..
You may now kiss the bride. Also called the "upacara batal air sembahyang".
Happy nmpk? Yelah. Da halal. =)
Bride's gifts to the groom..

Night 1 : Doa Selamat
Prayers for the newly-wedded couple, and for the long gone..
Food.. Glorious food..
The dais at night..
Guess what.. This is the only picture I personally took for myself for the day. Was too involved in taking pictures of others that I totally forgot my own vain self. Blergh!

2nd Day : Sanding
Ohh yes.. I would like to complain about something. Upon arrival, I was handed one flower pin. Guess what, I'm supposed to be one of the kendarats, a term for "servers" of the day. We were supposed to serve food to the guests, top up their drinks, clear the tables (and wipe them!), arrange the cutleries & such.
Hey! I was dressed to the nines in my bestest, glamourest kebaya okay, and I wasn't prepared to be part of the crew. I wasn't even informed earlier. If I'd known, I would've worn a baju kurung, bore my hair down & look totally like a nenek kebayan (witch). And plus, I would've worn my slippers instead. My 1 1/2 inch heels weren't helping yesterday okay? Aww shucks.. My poor feet aches so bad.
Hmm.. I helped around a little bit though, just a teeny-weeny bit and ran off. Heehee! Bad bad me.. Lol!
The dais for the day..
My Mama & Abang..
Kumpulan Hadrah, singing praises of the Almighty..
Relax la Apis & Usop.. You guys looked so stressed seyy!
Apis & Usop with the bunga manggars, and the hadrah escorting the groom to the car & off they go to the bride's.
So whilst they were at the bride's, we girls did our best..
Yes.. Pose! Heehee! Curik tulang..
From left, Mariam, the mentel Me, Kak Farah & Kak Nita.. Im the only one without tudung.. Felt so bad. Ahakz! Soon lah.. Insya-Allah..
Cousins pic.. Caught off-guard.
And of course.. Not forgetting..
Our very own affairs.. Ahakz!
And.. ta-dah!
Fizan!! Fiza + An.. Keeuutt kan? Heehee!
Ouhhh.. Excuse the mentel-ness please..

After the shagging, we went home & I got changed. D proposed we go to JB to check out the cool funfair at Danga Bay. The rides were awesome.. D planned on riding on them someday with our friends. It'll be a whole lot fun, don't you think?
We walked round the street mall but found nothing to our amazement. Boring! We then grabbed a couple of VCDs and planned on a movie marathon. Noice!
We ate our dinner at Singgah Selalu, watched soccer on the big screen, had his car washed then off we set to homeland. On the way however, there was a huge traffic jam on the road to Singapore. D estimated we would be stuck there for approximately 2 hours but it lasted around an hour & 40 mins. But I still have time to sleep.. On D's lap. Yes, lap! It was hard for him to drive but still, he let me sleep whilst he stroke my head from time to time, knowing how tired I was. See how sweet he can be? Thanks D.. Love ya!
To summarise everything up, I really enjoyed my weekend.. Every bit of it. I love my family! Love all of you too! Hope you enjoyed your weekend, just like I did. See ya!
