Jodoh

Makngah can now tarik nafas selega-lega mungkin.... now that her only daughter is safely married to a guy whom no one should really have anything to grouse about.

And whats there to complaint anyway? hasnt everyone been so bising that she's getting on in her years and that she shouldnt be so picky? wasnt everyone so concerned that she'd end up and old maid? and anyway jodoh kan ditangan tuhan kan? the fact that he's as old as my uncle shouldnt really be a factor now should it?

Can never please everyone..... ever. yang penting yang empunya badan know what they're doing bcos in the end they're the ones facing the consequences good or bad.

For me even though its my cousin's wedding, i had to go as a 'guest'. one would expect a close family member to put up at least an overnite stay just to help out... but mak wasnt up to travelling what more spending the nite (i know she was also thinking of her cats even tho she wasnt saying) so it had to be a daytrip. in the end it was just the 3 of us making our way to sri manjong.

AH had already bawled her eyes out the previous nite when she first heard about the trip and realised she had to go.... this was one occasion she couldnt wriggle her way out of. she'd been planning to spend the day with her bf since it's his 20th birthday. well it cant be helped darling.... some decisions have to be followed however painful.

I was actually having my own problems to deal with. walaupun pelik tapi i wasnt too sure about the way back!!! yup memang benar. being a true soldier's daughter where merantau was the name of the game, i didnt really get that many a chance to balik kampung, either kuala pilah nor sitiawan. and having divorced parents just made it worse.... i didnt have any roots. to me shah alam is my kampung bcos its where my heart is. so balik kampung really really is a rare occurence for me and my family.

As far as i can remember i had driven back on my own only once and that was many many years ago... so it's not a wonder why i was more than cuak about the idea. but with directions that i had googled and contact numbers on standby i knew i'd be ok laa, paling2 pun instead of the usual 3 hrs i'd take longer. and having AI beside me radiating trust & support was indeed a big help (AH on the other hand was lost in her own world, dozing off and on, in the backseat lol).

Thank god that apart from a missed junction (or three haha) we made it there in good time. turns out finding the dewan was more of a hassle than the drive down...... dah lama sangat tak balik i just couldnt figure the place out.... everything's so different!!!! i guess thats progress for ya :)

Anyway alhamdulillah semuanya selamat.

SELAMAT PENGANTIN BARU TUTI & CIKGU..... semoga dirahmatiNYA dunia akhirat.
