Adik Mi's Wedding - Perlis June 2007

Due to a special request, I am writing this blog for a friend. I am in between classes now so I hope I could finish this on time. Before my trip to Padang, I had attended a wedding at Perlis. It was Adik Mi's wedding, he is my best friend (anida) youngest brother. I had actually made a promise to Adik Mi five years back that I will attend his wedding and thanks to Allah, I had the chance to fulfill my promise. The actual plan was I am going with Tenko (arnida) but due to personal reason she had to cancel the trip. I was actually not that healthy the day before the trip and nearly canceling it too but again thanks to Allah I made it.

The journey started off bad. The traffic was bad that weekend. Luckily I popped in a flu tablet and it made me sleep like a baby. Whenever I opened my eyes, I could see long lines of cars beside the bus. When the bus stopped for a break, I think it was at 3.00 am, the RnR (I didn't know which...heheheheh) was like a funfair. The car park was full, people everywhere, I continued my sleep and didn't bother to get off the bus.

My phone rang at 6.00 am, Anida called because she was furious that I have not called her to inform my arrival. How can I call her since I did not arrive yet. Finally I arrived at Kangar around 6.30 am after 8 hours on the bus.. waaaa the traffic must be very bad then. Anida arrived few minutes later in her new car.

Anida and Adam

It was good to see her again. The last time I met her was last year. She looks good and still the very same Anida I remembered. We filled the drive home talking unstop. There is so many to talk about. When I arrived to her mom's house, people had started to work for the kenduri. The last time I paid my visit to her mom's house, the house was still in the process of renovation and it has become a very beautiful house with a beautiful "Pondok" besides it. Anida's hubby is an interior designer, so he had renovated the house.

The beautiful pondok

We spent every moment possible to catch up on the latest news. When Adam woke up (Anida's son) I was surprised to see him. He had grew so big and even Anida admits it that Adam is considered as an obese baby. The same thing when I met Adik Mi, he had turned to be a handsome lad, whenever I looked at him, I remembered the old times when he had make his parents headache with all sort of problems. He had turned out to be a good man indeed.

The best part of this visit is that I look forward for the feast. The food for the feast is a set of traditional dishes, Gulai Daging, kerabu, Ikan kering, Ulam-ulam and sambal. Huh... by thinking about it made me hungry. It was a very big feast, knowing Anida's dad I had expected a large crowd. Nearly 5000 thousands guest flooded the house from 11 am till 5.30 pm.

The couple

It was a tiring journey, I took a bus back the next morning which took me 10 hours to reach KL. But being back to that side of the country made me smile again. The northern part of the country had always have a spot in my heart. I love it there and sometimes I felt I belong there. Maybe the five years living there had made my heart grew fond to the place, the food and so many more. I will try to upload the pictures to my flickr soon. To Adik Mi and his beloved wife, I wish you the best.
