Last Sunday was a HAPPY day for my brother-it was his engagement day! The engagement was held in Shah Alam at her Emis'(her fiance) uncle's house as they didn't want to trouble us by going all the way to Kuantan just for the engagement.

My mum, dad and my twin brothers went there earlier; on the Saturday morning; as we still had to make some last minute preparation. Unfortunately, I couldn't take a leave that Saturday so my brother and I went in the afternoon by bus. We arrived in KL that night around 8 o'clock, and we were fetched by my uncle and other bro (I've got many, many brothers!). We then headed to my cousin's house in Sri Gombak. Upon arriving there i saw many many shoes of all kinds outside, in frontt of the door...Wah!Must be FULL-HOUSE la! And it turned out to be true of coz...the house was packed with all of the relatives..and buzzed with excitement!!!

The first thing i did after went to meet and salam with all the relatives was to head straight to the master bedroom where all the hantaran was kept. The hantarans were decorated by my eldest cousion whom we call Yong. They were very beautiful, all looking very sweet in peach...All in all, there were 11 dulang of sweets, fruits and other type of dry foods. That night was a tiring night for me after the long hours of working and journeying...so boy!was I glad when finally we went straight to my grandma's house to sleep. I could've been sleeping in the car if not for the chatter around me that kept my eyelids opened. But once arrived at the house, after washingup i went straight to bed and fell asleep instantly.

I woke up the next day to the sound of my brother calling my name over and over again...Kacau la orang nak tidoq!!! Well, of coz it's his BIG DAY tapi jgn la kacau orang lain...lambat lagi la nak pi umah Emi! Anyway, i got up, washed my face and went with him to buy some nasi lemak for everyone...lapaqqqq!!!After that all of us got ready to go the function. Me, Intan and Ayu was the last to get ready as we fussed over everything from how fat we looked in the dress and redoing our make up a few times...and trying out different ways to wear the tudung...hahaha!what can u say....Gurlsss!!! ;-p

Time to move!!! I went with Aunty Pah's car with my mom and the twins..we met the other relatives at Masjid Shah Alam. All in all, there were more than 10 cars meeting there...and after that konvoi skali sampai to her uncle's house.

Upon arriving, all of us assembled a bit far from her house to arrange people to bring the dulang hantaran into the house...Since most of the guys were wearing baju melayu in a shade of cream and brown, it was decided that the guys would bring it in. Man!It was really a rare but awesome sight to see them marching up to the house wearing a complete baju melayu set with sampin and songkok, bringing the dulang with big smiles pasted on their faces! After we've settled in, the event started with a representative from their side making speech to welcome us to their home. Then the elderly discuss the details of the wedding that will take place March next year. My cousins and I were all excited to see Emi (she's my age and we're quite close)...but she wasn't there yet. Pi makeup kot. After quite a long wait..there she appeared in front of the door...Boy!!She was sooo beauuuuuuuutiiifuuulll with her white dress and long veil. Lawa gak kakak ipaq aku sorang nih!But she was damn nervous, you could see it in her face. She gave everyone of us her nervous smiles everytime she saw us looking at her..hahahaha!rilex la Emi...apa nak malu...ce, kata kat orang...nanti time sendiri tengok la camna..hehehe...

After the discussion, came the suap gula ceremony (Emi was munching and munching the sugar as if she was munching some sweets hahaha!pity her! she was really dreading the suap gula ceremony eversince i told her bout it). After that, we took some photograph and proceeded to have our nasi kenduri for lunch. Here comes the BEST part, where most of us ate all we want until we were realy full. The food was real nice, especially the spicy chicken(i love chicken!). But guess what...that night some of us had to go to toilet soooooooo many times...we had diarrhoea!!!Ahhhh....sakit perut gilaaa!!! and not only us...Emi's aunt called my bro the next morning to find out if any of us had upset stomach after the kenduri...hehehehe...

Despite the diarrhooea, it was a really nice and unforgettable experience for me...to see my brother tying the knot (halfway tied baru la) with someone he loves...can't wait for her to be my sis-in-law.I know it's gonna be fun having her as my sister!
