A hot and humid day..

Phewwww, what a hectic weekend! It was tough I tell ya to wake up sooooo early on both Saturday and Sunday mornings. On Saturday, I was already up at 5.30am to send my lil sis and family to the airport. Yayaya, they are all in Bandung now having a wonderful time shopping! Coming back only on Tuesday and they called to say they just love the “Rumah Mode" factory outlet…:D

Well, today on SUNDAY morning, my dad had to wake me up at 6.30am, as we had to drive to my brother’s place in Kemensah before heading for my cousin’s wedding in Changkat Jering, Perak. By the way, why is it called Changkat Jering eh??? May be because it used to be famous for its supply of jerings? Muaahaha! I am so curiousla..anybody??!

it was slightly foggy this morning

My cousin got engaged in June this year, so imagine the short time frame given to us to prepare for his wedding. Since both his parents are no longer around, so we as his close cousins would definitely try to help as much as we can for the wedding preparations. I know my dad and aunties would be there to help as much as they can. In fact today, I was teary eyed too when I saw him shed a few tears when the nikah ceremony was over. I understood how he must have felt since his parents were not there to share his happiness. I know my arwah auntie-alang would be proud of him today. Dengan sekali lafaz, he was pronounced a husband. Alhamdulillah, syukur!

I got my friend to bake me her lovely cupcakes as one of the "hadiah" to be put on his dulang hantaran for the bride.

I love these cupcakes.

We are also happy that the wedding at the girl’s side turned out okay plus minus a little communication error when we were told that the bride is ready, so it is time for the rombongan to walk to the house but much to our surprise when we got there the mc guy told us that they had made a mistake, she was not ready!! Imagine, I was holding the dulang under the hot and humid sun with the kompang guys banging on their instruments!! I was hot and humid inside....macam nak meletup dah! Fortunately food was OK. The theme colour for today was lilac and for our side next week, it would be bronze/gold. Alamak, to think of it, baju pun I tak beli lagi, hmmm I need to look for a nice baju kurung with little patterns of gold here and there, any suggestion ladies?? Do you know where I can get lovely ready made baju kurungs or kebayas??

Enough about weddings for now...Will think about it later next week.

Even though I was busy all day today, I still have my arwah mama close to my heart. Normally she would be the one attending all these important weddings and I would just follow her. I will have to continue her legacy, I guess. I miss her so much and will always pray that I will be given the opportunity to visit my arwah mama’s grave every weekend. I keep talking about her to my dad, sisters and brother whenever I feel like it. I don't cry as much as I used to but Alhamdulillah I am hanging on to all my memories with her and hopefully continue to have the strength to be a good person as she was. Al-fatihah. Semoga roh arwah dicucuri Rahmat. Amin.

will always be remembered!

Have a good week ahead y’all. I just dread Mondays!
