JB wedding trip 17-19 June

Ayla (3+), Reza (1+), Rayhana (2+)
(2nd cousins from 3 different grandparents who are brother and sisters)

Just came back from JB yesterday. A cousin of mine got married. Would love to see how his child gonna look like hehehe check this out... the baby would have Burmese, Malay, Indian, Arabic, Kadazandusun, etc blood... hehe cool..

Went to JB right after Rayyan got back from school last Friday. Ja took the day off. The nikah ceremony was held at a mosque near Pasir Gudang on Saturday morning. Left our hotel, M Suites, JB right after breakfast at 830am.

4 couples got married at the mosque that day.. so had to do sort of a "mass" nikah ceremony.. 1 khutbah, 1 doa, etc, but of course 4 akads :) It was an interesting sight as while the three couples wore white, the other couple wore red... hahaha probably ada cerita di sebalik baju merah tu.. we got bored waiting that we made our own stories.. why one of the couples the bride takde dalam masjid.... why the other couple ni wore red and not many family members were there to witness their ceremony lol!

Out of the 4 tu only our familylah yang nampak macam serious nak witness akad nikah ni..

Right after nikah, we adjourned to the bride's uncle's house for a lite snack while waiting for the bersanding ceremony (lunch) at the bride's house. Food was nice. Live kompang singing has an Indian-Islamic theme... so the beat macam bhangra pulak.. seronok si Rayhana berjoget dengan Ayla, her 2nd cousin.. tetiba je jadi best friends.. hehe dulu dok jumpa tak rapat pulak... hehe

After sanding, balik hotel.. was too tired to do anything else, so we slept... and slept somemore while Rayyan hit the pool with his "nenek kuih" haha - our aunty who makes kuih raya :)

That night ada final reception which was held at our hotel itself. The hotel could only accommodate about 260-280 pax camtu, so all kids kena pangku. Food was not so bad, entertainment was great.. live singing, family dance... they had the Jambatan Tamparuli (Kadazan song) where their whole family went to the front and danced.. pastu ada poco-poco jugak hahaha.. cool..

The next morning, we had a late breakfast, pastu, checked out, terus balik at around 11am camtu... sampai rumah around 3 something after having lunch at Seri Murni "Discovery" restaurant at Taipan USJ... food dia delicious!!! and cheap!!!

Didn't get the chance to ronda2 JB... maybe next time :)
