The Engagement

30 October 2010, 8.15 pm.

Was the day when I got engaged.

It was supposed to be a small event. Small as in my father had expected all guests to be able to sit at one time during dinner. He didn't like idea that some people sit inside the house, bersila to eat while some comfortably sit at the tables outside. So initially I didn't invite any friends because he didn't let me.

But on the day itself, i managed to convince him that, in all engagement ceremony I have attended, it is normal for some friends and relatives to hang around and eat later, or take their food and duduk bersila. After all, it's buffet.

So, 7 hours before the event, I texted my girlfriends. Didnt put high hopes that they will come, but to my surprise, some girls, had really taken some time off, although its such a short notice, to come to my event. Appreciate so much.

Big thank to my aunties, uncles and cousins who had been a big help to my family one night before and the day after. Thank you to all the guests especially my girlfriends, who came by with flowers, chocolates and cakes. You know who you are.

(Cheh, macam dapat award plak..)

The official photos with some reviews of the engagement will come in later.
