Kite Flying.

Yesterday, took the girls out to the beach for kite flying lesson. I bought two kites for the girls.

It's 6 pm and the wind is strong. Perfect for them.

I handed the kite to Hanim and there you go...my girl's first attempt at kite flying went perfect. It's easy...

~Hanim with her kite~

~Full concentration~

Went home at around 7 pm. A nice evening spent with my girls.....

Gambang Water Park.

Last week on Monday June 14th, we went to the Gambang Water park. Took Ina's aunt and family, along with Ina's grandmother. They've never been to Gambang Water Park.

Everyone's excited to go. We head out to the water park at around 11 am. The weather was nice...cloudy. Perfect for the day's activity.

Arriving there at around 12 noon. There were lots of people around. It's the school holidays so it's expected. It took me about 30 mins queuing for tickets.

We went inside and then played our hearts out. Everyone had fun.

I took some pics but not much. Not about to spoil my camera huhuhu...

~Happy moments~

~Having fun~

We stopped playing when the announcement came on the speakers telling the park will be closing in an hour's time. We were having so much fun that we didn't realize that it's getting late...

At 6 pm, we went out. Took some pics outside...memories...

~Outside with the park in background~

We went our separate ways after that. The others went back to Kuala Lipis...
We had fun that day...

Trip To Felda Tenggaroh 5 For 'Sambut Menantu' Ceremony.

Last weekend, we went to Felda Tenggaroh 5 in Mersing, Johor for the groom's 'Menyambut Menantu' ceremony...We went there with families and friends...

We started at around 9 am and reached there at around 1 pm...

We waited at a neighbour's house for the ceremony to start...In Johor, it's called 'Rumah Sanggar'...in Pahang it's called 'Rumah Singgah'...whatever laa...

~Chatting while waiting~

Then the 'kompang' group came and we all walked behind the bride and groom, making our way to the groom's house.

The couple is then seated on chairs placed on the lawn...The 'silat pengantin' starts...

A unique thing is it starts with a lady performing the 'silat'...followed by a male...

~Silat kak...silat...~

~Bunga silat pengantin~

~Salam sembah buat Raja Sehari~

Then we proceed with the 'bersanding'...Time for picture taking session...

~Happy couple~

~The bride's family joining in~

~My family with the couple~

In the evening the ceremony ends...We all went back to Kuantan...Arriving home safely at around 8 pm...Tiring day...

At The Playground.

A few days after the wedding, Ina took the girls to Kuala Lipis town to run some errands...She took the girls to the playground...

Time for the girls to have some fun...

Just a few more days in Kuala Lipis, then we will back to Kuantan again...

Wedding.

Last week, we went back to Kuala Lipis for Adik's wedding...We went back on Friday after school...No 'ponteng ponteng' for Hanim.

On the big day, I'm actually busy helping around...Ina and the girls are also busy preparing for the arrival of the groom.

Just after Asar prayers, the groom arrived...The 'akad nikah' ceremony starts...
