Dina's Bertunang

ALrights shall go back date to Saterday...

Saterday ( 19 Jan 08')

This day is a special day for my close friend in my poly days.. Dina is getting engage!!!

Malay custom is so different from us.. Their engagemet is the exchange of rings between both families where the grandmother from the guy's side will need to come to put on the ring for the girl.. The funny thing is, the guy himself and his parents are not suppose to turn up for this ceremony.. They will exchange food during this ceremony too...

Becos i am the only chinese... I felt so strange there.. So I went into her room...
Luckily, her family are very friendly people... One asking me to eat more, while the other is asking me when's my turn... Haha.. My natual response, smile...


Outside, at her corridoor.. Chairs were put up like that for the overwhelming crowd...

The long awaiting moment... Dina's bf grandma finally came...

She came in shakery, think its becos of her old age.. So there were 2 aunties holding on to her while she walk in slowly... I was afraid that her trembling hands had a hard time to find Dina's finger.. But... It works out well in the end...
