C'est la vie

I'm back!!! I haven't had the chance to update the blog due to my workload, and just realized I've been away from my blog for a month! Many things happened throughout the month, so I don't really know where to start. Maybe we can start out with my merisik day. Yes, I had a merisik day..a big one if you asked me, because my dad was too over excited and he invited not just Redza's family but some bunch of neighbors as well. So we had all the tables and fresh flowers lined up outside, and come to think of it, it was just like an engagement ceremony. Well he did bought a new dining table that costs around 40k, which I find it a lil too much cuz I could use that to finance my new apartment..hehe. Anyhow, I also find it so sweet seeing my dad over excited about it. It was more of the modern way of merisik as the traditional ones in the old times is more like the parents of the boy going to the girl's folks' home and check (spy) the girl out. Both parents will then make the serious decision whether or not to match the both up. I would think that in the old times both the boy and girl would not have met before or rarely. But in this case both of us are already in love so this makes things a little more straight forward, eheh ;)

A good date was chosen.

Thanks to our friend Alan for the beautiful pictures. I have lots more of em but too busy to download it from the other pc. These pictures are actually from Alan's blog! I stole them hehe. Back to the story, so after the ceremony, my parents decide to have a big family dinner at one of the seafood restaurants in PJ.

Who needs a Fatty Crab when you can get Spider Crab!

The dishes are not that expensive except for the Spider Crab!
