Year end double occasions

 

As in the previous years, my year end is reserved for Sabah relatives, who mostly will be in KL for vacation and shopping. This year, more occasions added to the year-end norms…. engagement and wedding.

My 2nd cousin (Udin, the Bride’s groom)wedding was last week. Too bad I couldn't make it to attend due to my busy schedule. My clients had to choose the same calendar to finish up their allocation, added craziness to my diary. So, I missed the wedding.

 

On the next day, since it was weekend and a season for sales, I took my parents and kids around town, also to my favorite place, Birds Park.

While hoping for the hornbill to come nearer….yumm…..young coconut. Its my old time favorite drink too.

We then took a round tour to one of the well-known shopping mall, which has an in-door theme park, Berjaya Times Square. It was packed and merry. Christmas celebration was in a month time, however, being in the mall, it was like a Christmas Day.The first Noel…the Angel did say…na.na.na.na.na…. I enjoyed listening to the song.

Up at the cafeteria, we met up with my sister, and nieces. They took a monorail from their hotel to the place.

Nadia never fail to pose as long as there is a camera zooming. She only paid RM2.00 (USD 0.70 cents) to pose with this live golden man.

On the following day…………

My nephew, Sophian, the all-along-a-good-boy, chose the same weekend for his engagement. For the sake of my beloved sister (his mother), I made and effort not to miss this special day.There we were, on convoy, towards the areas named Gombak.

The handsome man and sweet lady, both dressed in pink.

Gifts exchanged. An hour after our arrival to the house, they both officially engaged.

Hold on..!! no touching yet…..

As a Muslim, an engagement doesn't give an authorization to the groom-to-be to touch the bride-to-be, so, the happy future-mother-inlaw put the special ring on to her future daughter-inlaw’s finger, while the groom-to-be watched. Both looked excited.

 

The occasion settled. Both parties satisfied.

 

We, Sophian’s grandpa & grandma, mom & dad, uncles & Aunties, cousins & sisters & nieces & nephews….. our present a witness to the his special occasion.

         

The sweet and simple event ended with food. As usual, when it comes to food, I will forget my camera.

Before noon, all returned to their hotel rooms.

That evening, after lots of food consumed, I felt as if I was missing something. Veggies…I needed veggies. Lets go to the restaurant.

    

My kids and I enjoyed our 3 types of vegetable dishes, while my anti-veggies hubby settled with only brewed coffee and scones.

OMG..!!! who in the world is this???
