the wedding banquet at istana kuda-kuda emas




one of my nephews, my late brother datuk dr abdul aziz b. muhammad's son, had his akad nikah on friday night and had the wedding reception last night. i still cant believe that Zek is married now. he still looked like a 10 year old boy as he sat on the pelamin last night. i know my late brother would be so happy to see his son married, he would be giving the wedding speech in the tone of a wise lecturer, as he often did when talking to anyone.

i still had my SAT tuition classes that lasted until 5.45, and then i dashed home to bathe and change. when i was out on the road i was dismayed to find that there was a congestion on the MRR2, but it only lasted until i entered the seremban highway. i gave a sigh of relief when i spotted the palace of the golden horses sign, but when i reached the small roundabout there was no sign anywhere, and before i knew it, i made a wrong turn and was on a small road to UPM. had to make a big turn, and after asking the girl at the toll booth, i finally reached the hotel - at 7.45pm. and when i was peering at the board looking for the venue of the reception, i heard abg zaki's voice and there was my siblings. we were seated earlier in the ballroom, and there abg mi started showing me off his iPhone, which he bought in NZ for rm2k (after being converted from NZ d). i called farah, who was unable to attend because of her pregnancy condition who asked me about the cake, the pelamin bla bla bla... then kak mah's family arrived - her mother, toh puan nik maimunah (whom i called mak cik nah) and my nephews and nieces - nana, looking ever so slim now that he's a gym freak, didi - ever so friendly, who says that he's expanding, the girls and yaya. the food was nice, although they really rationed the nasi impit in the soto ayam. i never thought anyone could cut nasi impit that small. having said that however, we enjoyed the food, partly because we're too hungry already.

the next reception (on our side) will be held next sunday night in bangsar.
