We went to Kuching ( part 2 )

ok...continue to where we left yesterday..Saturday was the wedding day. This time they had it at a hall near the city ( tak ingat nama apa ) I was quite pelik when told to get ready in the lobby by 930am..jemputan was at 10am..yes 10 in the morning..biar betul???memang betul pun..I was told that in sarawak jemputan majlis memang around that time..therefore by noon semua dah selesai and everyone can go home for zuhur prayer. Hmm something different from here in semenanjung where the reception usually start from 1-4pm..after zuhur. Reached the hall ard 1030 and seated at our "reserved sabah" table. And they started to bring out the food..one at a time...really one...at a time...by 1145 ke baru pengantin sampai..and by that time the only food yg belum dihidang was the rice...perut dah keroncong dok ambik bau lauk pauk...and i guess bau pun dah habis heheh..

so pengantin pun bersanding diatas pelamin...according to our tour guy..here in serawak if you want to know how "kaya" the family you can tell from their wedding ceremony/pelamin..lagi gah ..lagi kaya la org tu..wow...i wonder do we really need all those big big pelamin..but then again..kalau dah mampu mungkin tak ada salahnya kan..my thots..apa2pun moderation is the best.. tak kisah la..majlis org kita cuma tumpang meraikannya. They have what they called upacara nasi temuan..where the pengantin will "suap menyuap" themselves and tgk sapa yg lagi cepat..i donno what's the reason behind it..but i whispered to MD..."awal2 ni suap menyuap la..after years n years..suap diri sediri je la .." heheh..finally when they pengantin is ready..barulah they served the rice....adoi..penat menunggu akhirnya...after dah kenyang..all the guests masing2 make a move...very quick.. memang lain dari sini..tapi good thing is..the family boleh rest after that and guests can proceed with their plans..kalau kat sini kul 4-5 pun belum tentu habis lagi.

so next agenda..the tour bus took us to Sarikin...apa tu..lebih kurang Padang Besar/Bukit Kayu Hitam..la...just no duty free shops...shopping time! Well tak de shopping sakan pun..just bought kain telekung..( quite cheap coz its from seberang-Indonesia)...went back to hotel ard 6..and penat2..kids jumped into the bath tub..and kalau muat dah lama mama join sekali..;o)

Next day..we're flying home. Tapi sempat lagi nak ronda2 and took some pictures. Now..my thots..this is why people called this place Kuching...they have kucing statues at the roundabouts, park..all around Kuching Town...so my model posed for my camera..klik klik!

It was a very interesting trip this one. Short n simple. Get to experience new things; naik bot,bus,sarawak's wedding, etc. I guess i need to come back ..coz i didnt get a chance to eat mee kolok, laksa sarawak and even to meet my dear friend Jamal n family. Next time ya..insyallah. And to Amy n Aleng..congratulations..semoga berkekalan hingga ke akhir hayat!
