Attended two weddings in a single day .

Last Saturday on the 3rd.of June 2007 , we went to two weddings in a single day . In the afternoon we were at my cousin's house at Taman Alam damai , Cheras whose son was getting married. He was a senior officer at the Ministry of Education ,KL after having been Head Masters in various schools in Perak. He is now retired and settles down at that address . It is a new area and at first we found it difficult finding it . Luckily my brother Muttakin who was leading the way , managed to find the way .
There I met my other cousins and relatives from all over the country . It was a good opportunity for me to renew relationships with them . A few years ago I did not pay much attention to this and thus did not attend many of the wedding invitaions . After having wedding receptions for my children , I realized the importance for us to fulfill invitations . I know how I felt when people did not come to our wedding invitations . So that's why I would try my very best to attend to all the wedding invitations ,because I know I have two daughters who are still not yet married .
In the evening we went to a place nicknamed Kg.Pengantin , at Lorong Ampang 2, off Jalan Ampang Kuala Lumpur , a wedding reception of the son an old friend who once worked at the Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan ( JPJ ) in Johor . Later he worked with PUSPAKOM .He is also retired and settles down at Subang Jaya . Apparently it was a joint venture wedding reception between the bride and the bridegroom . It was held at a bungalow house owned/rented by the caterer who normally does his business there instead of at the hotel . It is a new wedding concept in Kuala Lumpur.It was supposed to be a garden wedding party but since it was raining it had to be held in the halls which were in the house compound. It was quite a grand wedding reception with the life band , singers , and clowns and also the traditional cak limpong group . Some of those in attendance too were quite high profile which among them were Datuks and Tan Sris . One of them noticeable was Tan Sri Halim Saad , a bumiputra business tycoon .
In a few days ie. on the 8th.June 2007 we would be flying to China . A check with the internet I found out that the weather there would be very hot . The temperature would be as high as 38 degree celcius during the day and 22 degree celcius at night . The China visit is obviously at a wrong timing . It was all due to my daughter Farin's indeciciveness in telling me the date of her university's semester break . Any way we have to make good of whatever the outcome would be .
By the way , today is my daughter Eileen's birthday. I take this opportunity to wish her Happy Birthday and pray to Allah that she would be guided by Him to the right path and bestowed with good health , success and happiness . When she comes back to Malaysia in late June we would hold a joint Birthday reception ( mine - 10th July, my wife- 11th.June , daughter-in-law Iza ( Alisya's mother) -20th. June and Eileen - 6th.June ) at the Ikan Bakar/ Seafood Restaurant in Port Klang .
