3 DAY TRIP TO SEREMBAN FOR MAKSU AUNI'S WEDDING

 Hello everybody.

     Since school has finished and we are on a break, my family and I went to Seremban for Maksu Auni's wedding. We were so excited (mostly me to be honest, hehe). So here's how it went.

     Before we headed to Seremban, we packed and Mommy ironed our baju kurung and Dadda and Idzhar's baju melayu. The next day, we had lunch at Subang Permai. Tokmama bought some nasi kukus from the mosque. It was so good. Then we began our journey. It took us about 1-2 hours to arrive at the Royal Chulan Hotel, where we stayed for the trip. The place was beautiful. Here are some pictures.

That night, we went for dinner at Wan Jah and Tok Noor's AirBnB. It has been years since the last time we got to meet each other (the Kasram family) and we were excited to meet everyone. Wan Jah ordered some nasi ambeng and it was so, so good!!! Idzhar definitely liked it. There was some homemade roti canai made by Tok Chu too. It was really nice to catch up with everyone after a while. After that, we headed back to our hotel to get some rest for the next day.

On day two, it was the wedding day (i.e. akad nikah/solemnisation ceremony)! 

Since we were family of the bride aka Maksu Auni, we went to the venue a little early to set everything up before our guests from the groom's family arrived. The ceremony were kept small with it being attended by family members of the bride and groom only. The dais (or in malay we call it pelamin) was really, really beautiful!! It had flowers and colourful lights. Then, the groom's family members started to arrive along with the bride and groom. Then they started the akad nikah and all those things they do to get married followed by makan time!!! To be honest, I always love wedding dishes. It's really, REALLY delectable I must say, hehe. Anyway, we ate and took family pictures. Not gonna lie, it was a lovely day for the wedding. Here are some pictures from day 2.

Team bride!

Congratulations Maksu Auni and Uncle Ash!

After the wedding, we went back to our hotel to rest. We also went for a quick swim at the swimming pool. 

That night, we ate dinner at Wan Jah's AirBnB again. We also helped with the plans and the goodies for the next day, which is the wedding reception. It was a relaxing day after the Nikah ceremony.

On our last day, it was finally the reception day! 

Before we got ready for the reception, we went for our last dip in the pool. 

We woke up early and went for a swim from 8 till 8:30 o'clock. Then we got ready for the reception. 

We had a quick breakfast, packed our luggage to check out, then went down to the lobby.

ready! 

Then we headed straight to the venue. The wedding started around 12 o'clock but we arrived a little early to take photos and eat before the guests arrived because some of us had duties for the day. Mommy and Dadda was the MC and I was tasked to hand out door-gifts. 

Here are some pictures:

After the wedding, it's finally time to go home. 

But before we headed back to Shah Alam, TokMama, Mommy and I helped Wan Jah with all the wedding presents and extra food from the wedding. We also stayed for a while to watch Maksu Auni and Uncle Ash opened their presents. It was a tiring day but also a magnificent experience. It was certainly an occasion to remember!

That's all for now guys. Thank you for reading. Stay tuned for more.

P.S: since it is almost the end of 2021, I will do some recap posts. 

Make sure to stay tune for those okay? 😉

My CNY Holiday

This is long overdue...

As some of you may have known, I had spent my Chinese New Year (CNY) holiday all around the East Coast of Malaysia. This was because one of Mommy's cousin got married to a Kelantanese and they had their wedding on the 2nd day of CNY.

We started our journey on Wednesday, 2nd of January morning. I had to wake up early that morning to get ready. As soon as we're ready, we all jumped into the car. Tok Abah was driving.


On the way, we stopped at a McDonalds on the highway for breakfast.


After that, we continued our journey.


Our first destination was a resort owned by the company Ayah Ngah works for.
He had made the bookings for us about a week before our trip.


We had a bungalow all to ourselves.


That night, everyone was tired so we went to the nearest mall and had dinner there. I had pasta and warm milk and it was delicious.


The next morning, we walked over to the resort's cafe to have our breakfast. I went in my pyjamas.


And we met Mak Lel, her brother and his family there too. They too were going on a holiday trip and decided to stay the night there.


After breakfast we packed and got ready to continue our journey. Next destination - Kuala Terengganu. At the gallery where they sell the famous Malaysian Batik and silk we met up with the rest of the troops - Nek Wan and gang. They went ahead after that to another shop while we had our lunch by the river.




After lunch we were all set to head straight to our final destination, Kelantan. It was another loooong journey and I slept most of the time.
Over there we checked in at a hotel Tok Abah had booked prior to our trip.


Tok Noor and Tok Uda were there too along with their family.


That night, Tok Abah took us all out for dinner at a place called Tarbush but Tok Jah had secretly asked Tok Noor to pay for everyone.
So, dinner was on them. Thank you Tok Noor and Tok Jah!



Next morning, after breakfast we headed to a very close friend of Tok Mama's family, Wan Ani and Tok Amin's house about a half an hour's drive from our hotel. That afternoon, Mommy's cousin, Pak Long Ayush were to have his solemnisation ceremony with his new bride, Aunty Yan. Pak Su was his Best Man.



The solemnisation ceremony went smoothly. The reception was held the next morning.




Immediately after the reception ceremony, we headed straight back to KL because Tok Mama had to catch a flight to Frankfurt the next day.


We had a short stop over at Primula Beach Resort, Kuala Terengganu where everybody else was staying the night before continuing on their journey back.





After that, Tok Abah drove all the way back to KL and it took us nearly 10 hours to reach KL because of the bad traffic jams along the way.

All in all, it was a very tiring, hectic yet fun-filled holiday for all of us.
