Creator Of My Own Luxurious Little World

Hey ya'll!

If you had not known by now (which I highly doubt so), I was in JB over the weekend plus yesterday. Well, overall the short trip was quite fun despite having some stressful moments. I so think the stressful part can be omitted IF my mom had not insisted on driving to JB. I am in no way criticising the way she drives or anything along that line but I hate it when she is so stubborn on the road! She said she needed my guide but she always refuse to listen to me and have us end up in a difficult situation. Gosh, it's just so hard for me to put it in words. In fact, I was speechless when I'm in the car. Haiz. Thank god we made it back home safely. Whatever it is, I still have to salute my mom for having the little courage to drive on one hell of JB's roads. Kudos, mom! :)

So on Saturday, upon reaching my relative's home, we slacked around first while catching up with everyone. It has been quite sometime since we last met each other. Soon after, the bride left for the mosque to be solemnized. I decided not to follow. I know I should but oh wells. Haha! While waiting for the bride to return with the new groom, I slept for a good 2 hours. Sheesh, what a waste! When everyone came back including my aunt and family, we ate together before slacking around again. There was nothing to do at all! Night came and then the "real" celebration takes place. It all begins with some prayers and ends with the bride & groom being seated at the dais. What's foreign to me is that the 'Kompang' is "played" at night, in JB. Wow! I bet you would receive tons of complains if it were to happen in Singapore. Haha!

The "gifts" from the Bride's side

After a tiring day, we unwound @ my aunt's cosy home. The next day, we went back again to my relative's home for the wedding invitation. The theme for the day was Red/Maroon! It was nice to see most of my relatives wore something that suits the theme. It just shows the unity and harmony. What amazes me more is the teamwork they potray. Regardless of anything, everyone worked hand in hand from the beginning till the end. It's just sad that I couldn't be involved in anything much as most of the "position" has been taken up. Haha. Seriously, everyone just wanted to help - even young kids!!! Awesomely great! :)

Mom just can't stop posing! This was taken @ my aunt's porch.

Mom loves taking picture at the Dais! Haha!

Looks like child labour, no? Haha! They actually enjoyed their time! ;)

After the place was 3/4 cleared, everyone decided to go back home to rest. Well, it's a different case for me & mom. We followed my aunt & uncle to Larkin to buy a bus ticket for my relative. Wow, it really has been ages since I last went there. Sadly, nothing changed. In fact, it just got worst. Haha! We then went to Giant to buy some sushis and then headed back home again. What else? INDULGE!!! Haha! A big thanks to my aunt especially for providing the accommodation and giving me a treat for the sushi. Weeee.

Lip Smacking Sushis! YUM! ;)

Ramlah Senin, that's my aunt! I'm sure some of u know her! ;)

Nothing much happened on Monday. Headed back to my relative's home around noon to bid farewell before heading to Carrefour to purchase more sushis. We then head back to Singapore and safely reached home in the evening. I really had a good time overall and hope to do this all over again. No worries, there should be many more weddings in the next few years! Hahahaha! :)

P/S: I may head to Pahang this coming Saturday to send the bride off to the groom's side. Wow, it must be great! I also hope to visit my cousin @ the University he's studying in currently. I think it's somewhere near Selangor. Weeee!!! ;)
