Today is my friend's/classmate Saiful Nizam's wedding day. As we are quite close in class, I simply had to go to his wedding which is incidentally our first wedding invitation for this year. It rained today from morning till the evening. That of course didn't stop us from going to the wedding.

We left home around 2:00 in the afternoon. About a mile from home, I forgot to bring my camera with me. So we turned back to pick up the camera. Then halfway through the journey, Adam had a bad tummy ache and he accidentally soiled his pants. We had to stop at Tesco Extra near Cheras to buy him a new pair of pants. By that time it was already 3 o' clock. Since it is raining today, traffic condition along MRR2 was as bad as a regular work day. It took as an hour to get to Batu Caves. When we finally made it there it was already 4:15 PM and the caterers wasted no time packing their stuff to go home. Well, at least we did get to see the bride and the groom. He was sorry that we missed the food but I told him we'd be surprised if we didn't. In the end we detoured to Pantai Dalam and had nasi lemak at Warung Rindu. Congratulations to my friend Saiful Nizam. Don't stay up too late ya tonight!

My little sister Izni got married today. About time too, she's 27 this year if I'm not mistaken. All of my family member is in town for the big day, Lina & family and also Faiz with his recently wedded wife. Uncle Dib and Uncle Din had to spend the night at Aunty Yati's place because our house can not possible fit all of us together.

My Dad is here too of course. After all he is going to be the wali (marriage guardian) for Izni. I wish he had worn something more proper than that blue denim shirt. A baju melayu would be fine. Then again I too wore a green t-shirt. Anyway during the formal lunch, my Dad and Mom didn't sit together at the table with the bride and groom. They have this long and complicated history between them and until today they can't see eye too eye. Well I think my Dad is pretty cool with everybody, it's just my Mom. She rarely forget things, especially those which hurts her the most. But now that all of my siblings are married, they have no reason to see each other ever again after this. I hope that is not the case. Although separated and well apart, we are still family.

But today is about Izni and her new husband. I don't know him that well, nobody in my family does but I hope he would be the man to take care of my sister well and make her happy for the rest of their lives together. Only time will tell.

Today I brought my family and mother to Taman Tun Dr Ismail, a posh neighbourhood in K.L for a relatives wedding. The groom is my father in law's son in law. I haven't met him before today.

Remind me next time to wear something more appropriate for a wedding in such neighbourhood. I looked like a real slacker with my sandal and t-shirt.

Today is my colleague Ashraf's wedding with his fiancee Aishah. I didn't go to their first wedding ceremony in iPoh last week so I felt obliged to go to this one in downtown KL.

We got there around 3:30PM where the bride and groom were about to leave the venue. Still I managed to congratulate him and snap some pictures before they left. They looked so handsome and dashing in their blue wedding dress. Although it looked a lot like my baju raya this year, Ashraf didn't borrow them from me - for the record.

My wife thought the food catered at this wedding was marvelous. I'm just so hungry today so I finished a full plate.

Just a tiny bit of complaint though. Whoever drew the map to the wedding location is FAIL big time. Although the venue is located right smack in the middle of KL, I managed to get lost for almost an hour. Yes I saw 2 schools in the map but which school? I also saw 2 commuter stations there but what's their name? Which Tesco Extra is that? Whoever knows where the heck Sungai Mas Plaza and Crystal Crown Hotel are?

That said, I would like to congratulate Ashraf and Aishah for their wedding. May you guys live happily ever after. Take it easy tonight ya.

Today is my colleague's Syamsurizal's wedding. Coincidentally the wedding is in Ampang albeit slightly further away. Unlike yesterday, I didn't get lost today because I used Google Maps on my phone.

We arrived just when the bride and the groom is finished sitting on the wedding dais. I didn't get to see my Syam much because he was too busy changing clothes.

A lot of my colleagues from the office was here.

Including former colleagues like Zakiah Hanum here who is as thin as stick ever.

We had to leave early because we can't stand to listen to this crazy lady singing. Where did she came from? I didn't see any mental hospital nearby. And why did they have to turn up the speaker's volume so freaking loud? I said it before and I'll say it again, karaokes ought to be banned from all future weddings. It's really annoying and it's not our culture.

Anyway congratulations to my friend Syam on his wedding.

It's the annual mating season again. We went to our first wedding ceremony today. Tomorrow's another one.

It was our good friend Khairunisa sister's wedding. Although we've been to her house twice already, we still managed to get lost a bit there at the Ampang area.

It's time to catch up with other friends too. Some got married, some stayed single.

This is the best wedding food I've sampled this year. The fried chicken, beef and mutton rendang and the nasi minyak were simply marvelous! Anyway congrats to you Aziatul Nureen and your husband.
