hari memasang kerja

gosh... how do i describe the above title. my grandmother held a simple tahlil and doa this morning for my lil' bro's wedding reception (menyambut) here this saturday. according to her, usually this has to be done before we started to do anything for a kenduri like weddings. then only, we could at least hang the curtains and such. while tomorrow the mpkk workers will be coming to fix the tents. hmm... i wonder whether other people practised this too.

for us ladies, we were already started busy preparing to boil the eggs for the bunga telur (wedding gifts). for those who dunno (especially you QC), presenting guests with party favours has long been practised at malaysian weddings. a beautifully packaged ‘bunga telur’ acts as a gesture of appreciation from the newlyweds. some people nowadays used fruit cakes, chocolates, potpourri etc. this is a way of saying “thank you” to their guests. but for my family, for generations, we still believe that giving bunga telur is more appropriate.

alright people, it's time for me to sleep now. it will be an another tough day for us tomorrow. ciao!
