It's a Sunday.
Since i dont have anything better to do, i accompanied my parents to a great uncle's son's wedding. (I know! Very distant connection, right?!)
Yayan who slept over at our place after the late night JB shopping also followed us there.
The Green Girls.
Dessert. The yellow cupcake is called Blossom. The cream chiffon is called Marble Cake. Hmm I'm not too sure of the other 3 layered cake's name but it should be some kind of Kuih Lapis.
That's the menu of the day. Mee Hoon goreng (Fried thin noodle) with Ayam Masak Merah and Pacri Nenas (Pineapple sauce). Mutton Rendang not in view.
The Bride and Groom has arrived!
Instead of Kompang (Malay drum), they were accompanied by the ramming noises of 4 scrambler bikes! But they still have a traditional "Kuda Kepang" Kuda = horse. Kepang i dont know... some kind of dance probably?
Most of the time, wedding receptions are held at the void deck of our flats. And the tables, ceilings and sometimes even walls are decorated with such cloths.
This is a view of the "open air" kitchen.
Those bags are take-away food for those close relatives or for pple who couldn't attend but sent their regards and with the money packet, they'll get one bag.
This video portrays another traditional segment of our wedding reception. SILAT. Silat is martial arts Malay version. When the bride and groom arrive, they are greeted with a relative showing off his Silat moves then salam (shake hands) the newly wedded couple.
Please bear with the video. It's not until the 30th second till i got a good view.
2 glasses of Juice:
They are not really your distant relatives. Its your grandfather's younger sister's invitation.
Her name is Cik Wati. Ok she was from diffrent father from your grandfather Husaini, but they had same mother, My Nenek Kot.
That's a short name. Long name is Nenek Qodariyyah.
Datuk Husaini has almost 12 or 14 siblings. Only 2 of them from the same father, the others from different father, Datuk Timan.
One dqay I will try to draft the family tree of these relatives.
Oh me lord... these half siblings are very the confusing~
Yeah i really look forward to that family tree.
