the indon clans story

my grandmother's late elder sister married a guy (decease) from medan. that's how roughly we attached to the indonesian heritage a bit ;) unfortunately i have never been there yet. even kechik is likely knew more about it than me! lol... cuz she traveled there often. read more about her java travels here. i know i know... the places there are damn beautiful. ya i am sure i will stepped there someday.

so i was asked for trips there by our medan relatives earlier--"ha... kuE enggak pernah lagi jejak kaki ke medan. bila nya mau ke sana?" hehe... we met at my cousin ijoe's wedding reception at bukit chandan [that's where the masjid (mosque) ubudiah and istana (palace) iskandariah are located]. the akad nikah (solemnisation ceremony) was held last weekend at the bride's family place in gombak. i didn't go cuz i was so busy with my own agenda hehe... only mother, grandmother and some aunties went there. gosh!... i didn't even have the time to blog about my previous trip to kl, also with the school holidays :)

alright, back to ijoe's wedding reception, its just a simple one where only closed family and relatives were there; the spread of their indonesian food were so
scrumptious i tell you, all done from a gotong-royong by the indonesian clan--i like! o yes... do check out my plate, as it may looks familiar? if you don't get me, go here. that means it was indeed a truly kampung (village) style wedding.

my favourite pic this time is the above, of megat with his cousins shahriman and didin. view the rest of the pics in the slide below--



to ijoe & nita,
congratulations! may both of you live happily ever after...
love, chor!
