Of wedding bells, and all marriage-related events

Yesterday (Saturday 28th May'05) marked beginning of the 2-week school holiday for Malaysian schools.

As the case always is, our postbox have been getting a steady stream of colourful, scented envelopes - containing wedding invitations. Not mine, of course.

One neighbour's house along my road had a kenduri kahwin yesterday.

Today, Mak Abah attended the wedding of a related-by-marriage lady, my second cousin's wife's sister. Plus I think Cik Z's daughter got engaged today (this one I've yet to confirm, though I do recall An saying something about his sister 'nak bertunang'.)

Next weekend it will be Cuz Du's akad nikah & wedding. Since I'll be in Singapore during his solemnization ceremony (on Friday night) and his bride's side of kenduri / bersanding (on Saturday), I'm only attending the groom's side of kenduri. (That reminds me, I still cannot find his wedding invitation card! Alamak! How lah to get to his house then? Hmm.. must remember to call Cuz Du this Tuesday the latest.)

I'm off to Singapore on Tuesday - it's been too long since the last time I was there. Just a short visit, though, as I have to get back to KL by Saturday, in order to be able to attend Cuz Du's wedding on Sunday. I'm planning another visit to Singapore, a longer one that time. At least I hope I'll be able to visit most of
the relatives over there.

I remember the last time I visited Singapore, when I came back to work, Jikin emarked that I "left my heart in Singapore" .....

Still on the subject of wedding bells, last week when I was on IM with Lin at work, she mentioned that Joy will be getting an engagement ring in maybe a few months' time.
Joy! Sampai hati tak kasitau aku! :P

After a few emails exchanged with Joy, I'm sooooo happy to know that InsyaAllah, she'll get engaged soon, and yes in a few months' time.
Alhamdulillah dearie :))
InsyaAllah I'll be there. Wouldn't miss your kenduri!

To all celebrating their wedding / engagement over this next couple of weeks, my heartiest congratulations to you. May your days ahead be filled with much love, respect and understanding.
