Kenduri sambut menantu di Kg Kool pada 11 Jun. First time buat kenduri weh! Menggigil gak kepala lutut ... takut tak de kemah; takut lauk tak cukup; takut orang tak datang; takut hujan; takut tak sempat bersedia tamu tiba ... macam macam takut ada. Katering beres tapi kemah belum pasti sebab ramai orang buat kenduri musim cuti sekolah gini. Selagi kemah belum naik, selagi tu lah rasa stress sakan.
Pengantin tak balik ... Ayong pulak dapat cuti hari Jumaat sahaja.
I thought I was ALONE.
Alhamdulillah, my younger sis Ha managed to get a week off from work and her husband let her and her youngest girl Ika, came home with me right after kenduri di Seremban. Thank you very much sis. Hanya Tuhan yang dapat membalas.
Seminggu sebelum tu, rakan setugas, Kam dah datang ke rumah menolong siapkan langsir. Elok siap langsir yang dah tertangguh bertahun lamanya itu, my younger brother Man and his wife Arisah singgah menjenguk persiapan kenduri. Arisah offered to sponsor langsir bilik pengantin and helped me get new curtain for the house. Within a week, with Ha and Ika around, all the curtains were ready and hanged. YEAYYYY! Finally, the house got proper curtains.
With Ha around, I indulged in getting flowers [a great excuse for the kenduri, hehehe!] Tak de lah banyak mana pun but it felt great. The bright colours bursting from the pots cheered up the days. Re-potting and trimming the plants helped soothe the nerves.
On Wednesday, the new bride and groom arrived and went straight into getting the house ready. My newly acquired daughter-in-law, did the kitchen floor in her baju kelawar.Poor girl [woitttt! I never bully one!]. Thursday evening, Arisah arrived from Kajang and got the drains sparkling with her children's help. Friday, Ayong and my younger brother Aznor and his family came home. I had to go for physiotherapy in HSAS. My old buddies; Sher, Pae and Nare arrived to lend their hands [nasib baik depa datang tolong buat bunga manggar]. Late in the evening, Ayah Chik Ruslan [mum's younger brother from Kelantan] arrived with his family. Mak Chik was so ringan tulang membantu tanpa diminta siap tolong gubah bunga untuk meja pengantin. Terima kasih.
I realised I was NOT alone!
Friends and family came together giving me their hands. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!
Walaupun rasa penat separuh mati pada hari kenduri, lihatlah KoolmokcikZ senyum happy.

Ayong buat kek keju dengan topping strawberi tapi tak sempat siapkan hiasan [sebab tak jumpa paip ising]. Lapipula, kena bergegas pergi ambil gulai patin. Walaupun tak siap tapi cantik jugak! [lepas ni Ayong boleh buka kedai kek lah!]
