My Bruneian friend asked my friend and I to join his wife to attend the wedding near our college. The wedding here is totally different from each other referring to their tribe. The arrival of the guests is at 8.30-9.00 pm and we been there at sharp 8.30pm. Been waiting for our friend there for almost 15 minutes and they arrived. At first they wanted to pick us up at 8.30 pm and all the sudden they changed their planned. We meet up near our college. Bergegas pegi..kalut tu..handphone pun tertinggal !!
I really into the local wedding lately.. I mean I wanted to experience their culture and always looking forward to attend. Even in the class, I did tell my students to invite me to their wedding or family wedding...biasa laa kan muka x malu offer suruh diaorg invite kan??
This time is for the ladies nite.. kat sini kat separate laki pompuan... amat la pelik skali kan?? Well, thats their tradition and I do respect it.
The host was so nice and friendly especially their mum. Mula2 sampai tu x tahu nak pegi mana.. ramai laa gak ppl seating on the floor eating and when we were there, every eyes was looking at us...actually staring at us. We do not know what to do...my friend lak tak tahu yg mana satu tuan rumah..udah lupa laa...bila pakai abaya cam muka sama jer semua org. Berdiri laa kitaorg ..3..4 minute and all the sudden one old lady came.. Kif hal!! ( how are u?) Baru laa jumpa tuan rumah yg dicarik2. Nasib baik dia luar...buat nyerr x kluar2 nasib laa duk berdiri lagi kitaorg kat situ sambil mata2 org memerhati kan kitaorg.
Dah Kif hal..kif hal tu...salam then laga2 kan idung sesama idung.Hahahhah...lawakkan..I pun buat laa sama. Laga2 kan idung tu means that kita ni sangat laa mesra and rapat diantara satu sama lain. First time tu ku melaga2 kan idung ku kat org sini. Suker sgt!! So laa gedik bunyinya kan?? Usually, I did see my male students did that to each other. Suker sgt tgk diaorg laga2 kan idung diaorg. Anybody wanna laga2 idung dgn I?? Sure ramai tu kat luar sana nak melaga2 kan dgn idung ku ini kan?? Baik ngaku..ngaku..see...see ader yg dah tersenyum tu.. I know it.. Tapi kat sini kebanyakannya laki la laga2 dgn laki..not I have seen a female but I did that last nite!!
Diaorg happy sgt kitaorg dtg...maklum laa foreigners kan. So kitaorg dibawa di bilik minum kopi. Ramai weh org kat dlm bilik tu..ada laa dalm 30 org kot. I x sempat nak kira okey..agak2 laa kan and we suppose to drink coffee first and I can see so many other food around. Cam kuih muih...ckp minum kopi jerr...tapi byk jerr kuih muih kat situ. Biasa laa kan dah tak pandai cakap..Ckp pun suwey2 ( skit2).. diaorg sekeliling duk suruh laa makan siap guna bahasa isyarat laa kan..lawak laa kan. We just take a small mineral water for each and 15 minutes later anak pompuan diaorg dtg ajak pegi to another room.
Byk weh bilik..tak tahu laa yg mana satu. Umah besar sgt.. berpindah randah kitaorg..Ikut jerr laa kan... I duk laa kat bilik bersebelahan dgn bilik pengantin. I can see the bride is preparing herself and somebody is taking photo of her. Makk oiii..terkejut akak.. so laa putih melepak pengantin tu.. pakai gaun2 putih tu..ala..ala kebaratan laa skit. Hehhehe.
Duk kat bilik tu for couple of minutes and somebody came and bring us satu talam nasi briyani. Makk oiii...satu talam wehhh... aaaa kat sini mkn dlm talam okey..jgn tak tahu. One medium talakm of briyani with 2 ketul daging yg besar. Then air mineral satu sorang and also pepsi satu tin yg kecik tu. Makan laa kitaorg bertiga termasuk anak my friend. Dibawah talam tu diaorg letak plastik sebagai hamparan.. yalah takut tumpah laa nasi2 lauk2 tu kat atas carpet. Cam kita gak laa kenduri kendara kat kampung2 letak kain dulu kan.. haaa yg ni letak plastik yg panjang lagi senang. Bila org dah abis makan bungkus jerr plastik tu and terus buang. Good idea rite? Mula2 tu kitaorg tak tahu cam mana nak start makan..yelah first time I dgn my friend mkn satu talam...maklum laa mak x penah ajar makan dlm talam.Hehhehe... makan laa kitaorg dgn sopan nyerr. We not even first a quarter of the talam.. banyak tu weh.. serious 3 org mkn pun x abis. Nasi tu cantik sgt... kat bwh warna kuning muda and kat tgh2 warna orange and kat tgh2 tu gak laa diaorg letakkan 2 ketul daging. Nasik nyerr sedap skali walaupun x de kuah. Kalau kat Msia ni mkn nasik x de kuah sure dah letak2 dah kan... tapi mungking tidak kat sini. Pelik kan???
Selesai jerr makan, tgn tak yah basuh okey..sbb memang diaorg kat sini x basuh pun. Lap laa kat mana2 tempat yg bleh.. According to my friend yg dah biasa dtg kenduri kawin ni .. kalau nasi yg dikasi tu bercampur aduk warna kuning and warna orange means talam tu dah ader org mkn and yg kitaorg mkn tu lum disentuh lagi sbbnya cantik lagi nampak. Nasik warna kuning and orange x bercampur. Maklum laa tetamu terhormat kan?? Well, bila i tgk group yg sebelah, nasinya bercampur2..means that dah bekas org mkn. Dashyat kan?? Yelah... nasik kitaorg yg lum abis tadi pun sure dikasi kat org lain lak makan nanti kan... mmmmm..tapi kitaorg sentuh yg kat tepi2 jerr..sopan sungguh anak2 dara dan mak dara makan kan?? Kalau tgk diaorg mkn kat sini...Astrafirullahalazim.. cam ayam ( sorry to say laa kan). Serious ni.. Bertaburan..tu yg kena letak plastik tu and diaorg akan gempal2 kan nasik tu kat tgn and baru masukkan kat dlm mulut. pelik laa weh.. serious..
Abis jer makan..kitaorg dibawa ke masuk ke dlm khemah. Muzik dr tadi lagi dgr.. Masuk2 dah ramai dah duk tunggu kat dlm tu. All of the guests were wearing their abaya but then the abaya yg berkelip2 laa and some of the family members are wearing their traditon clothes...rupanya cam Indian nyerr styles. Mmm... menurut sumbe2 yg bleh dipercayai semua kehidupan diaorg ni mempengaruhi budaya2 India coz India dah lama dah bertapak kat Sur ni. Tu yg fashion pun ala2 ke Indian laa skit kan..menyerlip2. Hahhaha...kalah laa i ni yg pakai baju kurung yg x bermanik2 ni.
After 15 minutes waiting for do not know things.. then some of the family members came. Terus bukak abaya diaorg...haaa.. terkejut weehh I.. dgn baju yg sext mexy.. nampak segala benda .. kelip kelap.. berdansa laa bergelak laa diaorg kat atak carpet depan tetamu. Mak oooo...bukannya anak2 dara jer bergelek..mak2 diaorg pun...anak2 yg kecik..5..6 thn pun dah pandai bergelek. Serious bila tgk diaorg ni dgn I.. I skali nak bergelek. Lagu plak cam disco arab jerr ..alah yg rancak2 tu.. Siap sebut "Ya Allah...Ya Allah " lagi tu dlm lagu. Elok laa tu kan.. ckp Ya Allah2 and then duk gelek2.. Apa ke jadah semua ni kan?? Ntah laa...
Mula2 masuk kan dlm khemah..mak oiii.. khemah tu dah laa tertutup and then atas tepi kiri kanan atas penuh dgn kain cam langsir. Brapa meter laa diaorg ni bazirkan..and full with carpet. Diaorg ni sure org yg berada coz cam mewah semacam jerr. Actually this wedding is my friend's friend of their brother. Susah nak explain wehh... paham2 sdiri laa errr!!!
Diaorg bergelak takes turn.. after 4..5 people bergelek kat atas carpet for a one song and the others will take turns plak. So guests ni duk tgk laa menghiburkan ati yg lara... hahahhah...
Siap ader pentas laa and ader pelamin skali. Sesambil duk tunggu pengantin masuk, kitaorg dijamukan dgn air mineral and jus. Org2 gaji diaorg laa yg duk bwk bakul isi air ke hulu ke hilir. Sian tul nampak and their maid are so many.. I guess 6 Indonesians and 4 Indians. Ramai tu weh.. and all of them pakai baju yg sama.. Baju tido. Sian diaorg x melawa pun kan?? Like us in Msia bila ader kenduri kendara, maid pun melawa jugak kan..
Well, tunggu punya tunggu.. mengumpat skit2 jerr dgn my friend 2 org lagi tu..x leh nak ngumpat byk sgt sbb music duk memekak..nak pecah gegendang telinga ni..sbb kuat sgt.. 1 1/2 hours jgk laa duk tunggu..akan here she come.. pengantin pompuan pun tiba laa...
Jalan laa dia menuju ker pelamin sesorang sambik one Indian camerawomen duk ambik gamba. Dia laa make up artist...dia laa jgk camerawoman. Bila duk tgk pompuan ni duk ambik gamba kan..rasa cam nak keje part time lak laa..ambik gamba kat umah2 pengantin. Bleh?? Lagipun I skarg ni kan kena mengajar digital audio apa ke benda laa...smtg to do with camera laa kan. Aapa salahnya kan... carik duit lebih skit nak tanggung anak2 tekak ni yg dahaga jus.
Naik laa atas pelamin and tunggu laa plak pengantin laki dtg. Two ladies will hold one cloth to cover the bride face so that it will be surprised for the groom. Kesian plak 2 org yg pegang kawin kain tu, naik lenguh duk pegang sbb lama sgt. I think it takes 30-45 min plak nak tunggu the groom dtg..
While waiting for the groom to come. We been served with the Omani Halwa. Omani Halwa ni cam wajik and they put it in the big talam. Two ladies will carry this and will go from one person to another. Cubit jerr laa pakai jari kan yg kat dlm talam tu and another lady will give u a small cup for the coffee. One small cup tu share laa dgn beratus2 org kat dlm khemah tu. Mmmm... bleh??
The other lady plak come bring us perfume.. celek laa kat tgn kita.. from one to another and also another lady plak bwk cam kemian yg berasap yg berbau cam nak pengsan I dibuatnya.. and diaorg ni suka sgt kemian ni. Siap masukkan asap2 tu kat dlm abaya diaorg lagi tu..Dasyhat kan??
Yang bestnya ader DJ rupanya..and for sure laa DJ pompuan coz not men are allowed tonite. Before the groom enter the camp, the DJ buat announcement dulu... x paham laa ckp arab kan.. tp I buat assumption sdiri laa.
" ok..ok..get ready...pengantin laki dah nak masuk. Yang mana nak tutup muka tu baik bersedia skrg..I kasi u all 1 min utk bersiap sedia"
aaa... cam tu laa lebih kurangnya coz right after the announcement fr the DJ semua org kalut tutup muka diaorg. Yang sedara mara yg menari gelek2 tadi pun cepat2 pakai abaya diaorg..cover..cover..
So masuk laa kanak2 lelaki dlm 5.6 org pegang tongkat...jalan2 menuju ke arah pengantin lelaki and kat blkg tu pengatin lelaki pun jalan bersama2 dgn adik beradik diaorg yg laki and also his dad. Masa tu jugak laa.. dgr pompuan2 yg ramai2 tu yg cover muka ni buat sound cam tarzan.. You all tahu kan cam mana tarzan buat bunyi kan..aaa cam tu kaa..kononnya menyambut kedatangan pengantin. So duduk laa diaorg kat atas pelamin..ramai laa naik pentas..kaum keluarga utk mabrook ( congratulation)
Selesai laa sudah majlis perkahwinan malam ni..Jom..jom balik..ya Allah dah kul 12 rupanya.. lama betulkan!!!
I brought back two small chocolate and one small box of perfume as a door gift. Dah sah laa family org berada ni coz last time I only got a pack of Henna as a doorgift. Siap kasi branded perfume tu..miniature perfume. Sukerr sgt!! Hehhehe
One thing I cant take their pictures..so sad. Memang culture diaorg pun pantang sgt kalau kitaorg ambik gamba diaorg. Yg wedding lepas tu I ambik curik2...hehehheh... but not this time!! How I wish I could so that I can put it in this blog.. Cam mana nak ambi...handphone pun tertinggal!!
