My Uncle's Wedding

My Uncle's Wedding

0800 - We started our journey to Mentakab from Kuantan for women's side reception. We didn't attend the akad nikah the night before as my mum just get back from Singapore.

1030 - Arrived at Bukit Bendera Resort, Mentakab. All of mum's sibling and their family is already there except for Pak Teh Fuad who's working at Labuan. The nine families put up in ten rooms but it's still a bit too cramped for all of us. I had a late breakfast at one of the rooms and have some chat with my uncles and aunties. Meanwhile, my cousins are enjoying themselves at swimming pool.

How about the bridegroom? Heh, he's having a quick nap. The bride is at her parent's house.

1200 - Check out from hotel. We make our move to rumah bersanggar near the bride's house. Rumah bersanggar is usually a neighbour or relative house where the bridegroom will prepare himself for the bersanding ceremony. While waiting for the rest of our 'batallion' to come I took the oppurtunity to chat and update with two fellow family tech heads - Brother Norman and Jamil.
