family tree

Salam my baby insyirah wherever you are.

I pray that you're healthy, happy and living a good life with mom. I just got back from uncle midi's wedding in Kajang, our hometown. pretty tired but alot of satisfaction. We are very happy to have new addition on our family. My sense of responsibility has gone up too. We hope that you, being the eldest and one and only grandchild of the family get a cousin or a few cousins from undle md and aunty tkah. we all pray for their happiness and the goodness of everything. So that just maybe, our family tree becomes bigger.

everyone was there.. it started with the jb reception by aunty tkah's family. it was nice and neat. they held it in an orange hall. the food was nice, the band was lively and the setup was very beautiful. The pelamin has a theme of nature with long lines and arrays. they used "lalang" like plants and it was very original and cool. many people came though it was raining abit. since it was in a hall, so it was cozy and nice for everyone.

the kajang reception happened yesterday. the house of my family, our original address so to speak. atuk has cleared the land and there was 8 tents set up. more than 1000 plus people came from the caterer count and doorgift count. many atuk's friends came and atuk seemed very happy. the preparation work was alot but worth it. the house was very neat and the ceremony went on without much lack.

many of my cousins were there be it from atuk side or nenek side. my uncles from terengganu, your great great grandfather's brothers from kelantan, the singapore family from mom's side, johor family and many more. they all came to join the wedding. the pelamin was designed by aunty nonim and nenek's youngest sister moksu. it was so nice and will become pelamin for all the weddings to come.

the arches and pelamins were decorated with fresh flowers and they smell nice. many of the relatives worked tirelessly during the night and during the reception day too. everyone was so tired but satisfied. uncle midi and aunty tikah was happy. alot of their friends came and they sang in group for both of them.

I have pictures to share. but i'll save it when i see you in the future. i'll prepare a yearly album just for you, so that you will not miss a thing that happen in our family. im going back to johor this coming friday for atuk arrange for another reception in kampung, parit bengkok where your great grandmother/grandfather used to stay. atuk have repaired the house and the surrounding so it's very nice now.

i need to work on my iman and ensure that i become a good muslims. I pray to Allah you grow up to be a great muslim too. my brothers, atuk, nenek and my sisters were all asking about you. But we can all be patient and wait for you to come back. Maybe an advise to mom, there's this saying on the people that ran away from their family.

"Initially they forgot the problems they were running from, later they forgot why they run in the first place. Worst, they forgot whom they were and from where they come."

I just hope mom takes care of you all right. I pray to Allah, always.

Love you,
Abah.
