Zaid's wedding reception took place on 16th September 2012 - taking opportunity of a public holiday, i.e. Malaysia Day and that all of us could be there. 22 year-old Zaid is my brother's son. Reception was held in Kulim, Kedah. Most of us siblings attended except my sis in Kajang. I went a day earlier, so did mak, Sharos, Ina, Imi and my other brother. We stayed at BD, while the others in Kulim itself. Need to keep my promise to adik hence the reason of our stay in BD.
Being there earlier, we managed to do other things, wedding-related as well as non wedding-related (shopping and finding good food included).

On the reception day itself, we all gathered at my brother's place before proceeding to the bride's house. Estimated a 15 minutes drive. Funny thing we even drove into a wrong turn, no thanks to my brother who led the way. It was a hindu temple! No wonder the indians there were looking awkwardly at us - a convoy of cars moving their way. Weird ... And it so happen there was some function going on at the temple the same time. It was so embarrassing.... The road was very narrow and no..that was not even a road, it was just a small lane bordering a ravine! We all made the "death-trap" u-turn and found our way to the bride's house.
Called it ignorance or negligence or unaware whatsoever - we arrived at the venue, handed over the groom to his bride and also the wedding gifts that we brought and headed to the 'vip' tables for our food. We were all starving by then, of course. The food was good, real good - cooked kampung-style. Enjoying our food, we forgot all protocols. And we only met and introduced ourselves to the mother of the bride so much later. Stomach full and pictures taken, said goodbyes, and again forgetting the last protocol - we left without bringing back with us the 'hantaran'. Ouchhh...how come none of us remembered? Weird... It must be the good food and the full stomach!
Anyway, we had fun. It was an interesting reunion for us. It was never easy to get everyone together especially on an outstation trip. Alhamdulillah all went well.
Next one to go into this 'new' life is Ashraf, my eldest sister's son. His engagement is this coming 30th September. Good luck, Aboy...
