Meet the Datuk/Datin
After so long being off line, I finally have the time to blog something while waiting for my darling doter to finish her tuition. Her tuition class comes with Internet perks for Mama! Actually I am at my friend's house. She has cut down down on her tuition classes and moved the tuition centre to her home.
Anyway we were at DD's house last nite to discuss on the impending majlis bertunang my nephew (my elder sister's 2nd son). His choice of bakal isteri belong to the upper crusts family living in P*J. Since kami hanya tinggal 3 beradik, so everyone is dragged in in these events. Drive to P*J was horrendous. Am so thankful, I wasnt driving or following DZ. He was switching lanes at the flick of the signal, trying to get out of the massive traffic jam at the Federal Hiway. My other BIL mengusap dada several times, exclaiming "sakit dada, heart attack aku", trying to follow DZ! Finally at the last stretch, BIL lost sight of DZ and took the wrong turn. We had to wait for almost 15 minutes, before BIL caught up again. There was a mad rush since waktu maghrib is almost over for the guys. All the ladies, were conveniently disposed.
Sat down and chatted with Datuk/Datin. My BIL and sister is more at ease this time, since conversation did not evolve around "golf" or "shopping at Pavilion". I couldnt be bothered with all these stuffs. I was there just to give support to my sister & BIL.
Simple dinner of nasi putih, kari ikan (lama tak makan kari utara), pecal (maid indon dia yang buat), salad, udang/peria masak lemak, rendang ayam and sambal belacan made by the bakal menantu herself. Dessert was fresh fruits and kueh talam.
Then it was down to serious business. Each of us, snapped opened our organizers/ calendars on the handphones when Datuk mentioned THE DATE... Hahaha zaman teknologi. It was confirmed as the weekend after Hari Raya Puasa. Datuk was explicit up to the ETA, 11a.m. Hadoi.. rasa2 macam sitting in a meeting macam zaman dulu2. Next item, was the number of dulang hantaran. Since the girls side had to up 2 dulangs, they need to know the number we are sending. Confirmed 5 dulangs only from our side. That is my concern since I have been assigned to decorate the hantaran. Mak Cik Teh insisted on doing it all masa nikah nanti. Girls side will balas with 7. Ye lah tu, kot2 jadi macam masa tunang Azhar, we ended up with 11. Datin mentioned about her relative who ended up with 65 dulang!! Adoi.. even with my 11, pening pala nak 'mengdispose off' the cakes (especially). Alhamdulillah.. semua selamat di bincang.
We shot off home. I was dead tired since I was out off the house since early morning. My doter almost fell asleep in the new recliners.. but that is another story.
p/s Fat*imah, Angah chose pink as his tema (tunang) and furfle for nikah.. so what will be your choice.. assuming you are next.
