Perkahwinan Asmawi Ani dan Nora'Asikin Rahmat (Felda Taib Andak Part 3)

Ok, so picking up where we left off. Pas lunch, bebudak gi tengok Mawi dan Ekin sampai naik helicopter. Dalam keadaan ala gurun Sahara, decided to stay put and tunggu meka sampai.

Merasalah... when they finally arrived, tetiba crowd da ramai gila kat luar berkerumun nak get a closer look (takde Astro kot, sanggup redah nak dok tengok sebatu jauh nih)

Dalam panas cuaca, panas hati aku tengok peminat ada yang takde otak.

Kes contoh ek. Ada makcik sorang ni. Bak anak dua orang pompuan dia. Comel je. Maybe 5 or 6 years old. dedua bertudung. Alahai.. so cute.

Yang aku panas ni, masa Mawi dan Ekin sampai makcik ni kalahkan pro American football player nih main tolak dan berasak nak amik pic Mawi, sambil ngan muka emo menjerit, "Mawiiiii... Mawiiiiiiii," ngan muka penuh semangat merembes.

Matilah ko! Anak ko tuh bahaya la bawak celah celah crowd camtuh. Aku kesian tengok anak-anak dia kena tolak sepak bagai. Seb baik tak kena pijak. Bodoh la... some people are so fucked up.

Kalao ko nak feeling groupie 14 year old th jangan la bawak anak nak endanger their lives. Ultimate stupidity, Kang apa apa jadik, orang lain dipersalahkan.

Sama lah kes masa Gempak Rewang. Da la gelap masa nak turun tangga curam ke padang. Tetiba, perasan ada benda kat tangga tuh.

Rupanya budak umur setahun dua nih tengah merangkak naik tangga. Matilah ingat toyol!

Seb baik dak tuh tak tergolek ke bawah ke terjatuh at the sides ke, kena pijak orang dalam gelap ke....

Yanie Harian Metro dan aku tak sanggup tinggalkan budak tuh camtuh jer, unlike people walking past not giving a shit about the kid. So she carried the kid, and bawak ke depan bagik meka announce for the mother.

Leh? Mak dia lari ngan penuh semangat tetiba nak claim anak. Padahal... sebelom tuh tak perasan pon anak hilang!!! What the...

Bodoh tol la orang-orang camni. Pastu this girl, I think maybe 13 or 14. Mawi kuar keta ngan Ekin leh emo siot. Mata berkaca jerit. "Mawiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii..." I think you don't call it menjerit da. Let's see the appropriate word. Merengek? You know... that pleading sound. Ewwww... fans camni merisaukan. Cam cita Misery lak...

So this was the scene masa meka sampai.

The arrival and after
































Phew! Letih siot nak up kan semua pics. Korang ingat ek. Nak save leh. Nak republish any of these pics ke website or blog lain - dilarang crop - dan MESTI credit DAN link http://www.klubbkidd.com as the original author.

Arghhh... letih siot. Thank God the event da settle. One more je, bab sanding kat Palace Of The Golden Horses and everyone's lives can go back to normal. Heh...

Thanks again Echa simpan camera aku. Kalau tak, all these memories in pictures would be lost.

Not that all of them were good. I think the caterers kelam kabut sikit. Da la panas bagai. Empat kali mintak air dari waiter, ado meka nak bagik? Last last tak tahan jalan keluar ke simpang beli air nak minum takot pengsan. That's one of the reasons why aku tak amik pics ketika event tu itself. Ala... lagikpon korang tengok je selebihnya kat TV.

And of course, another grouse, the same thing people who attended will tell you. Security yang kepung Mawi tuh, berangan nak mampos, I mean honestly. Mana tak orang kata cam anak raja. Yang mengawal tu kurang ajar sangat kekadang, sampai kasar tolak tak bertempat. Maintain moka macho tapi hancur konon. Ptoiii.... kesian aku tengok ada yang dok tepi tak pasal-pasal dikasari for no reason. Just cause the security felt like pushing people.

What the...

Oh and one more unpleasant experience. Ni tuk tamu lak. Da la kalao da panas, semua wajib peluh kan? Jangan berasak sampai tak hingat orang masih ada deria bau. Aiyo... pening ok. Memacam potpurri la yang dapa dicium.

If I didn't faint from dehydration no thanks to the useless caterers, I would have from the stench, yes, stench, enveloping, masa semua kerumun table kami (aku pilh paling ujung dekat pintu so ada ventilation - big mistake sebab everyone masuk kompol sana from outside nak get a closer look)

Rasa nak kuar je perfume Silky nak sembur sekor-sekor yang tak sedar memasing ada BO nih. By the way, guests laki dapat Aura, and yang pompuan dapat Forever Yours - merasalah aku dapat dua skali.



Aku seronok satu benda je. Yang kain sponsored by Jakel tuh... ala...yang outfit pengantin last week tuh. Korang tau tak, sampin Mawi alone yang cantik tuh time nikah, kain dia RM8,000!!! Kain baju Ekin time tuh alone cost RM32,000!

Anyway, Azlan from Jakel siap bawak buah tangan for some of us. Aku dapat ni.




Tuh dia... Italian silk katanya. Belah kiri tu nak bagi mak aku kang wat baju Raya. Both fabrics standard empat meter. Sebelah tuh yang earthy brown tu aku nak wat baju Melayu. Da lama tak wat yang baru pun.

Ok I think this is long enough.

By the way semalam gi mini movie marathon with Sarol. Layan horror back to back. Walaopon plan nak tengok Australia then Cape No. 7. Last-last tukau haluan tengok cita seram in Dead Floors and Diary of the Dead.



Dead Floors ok ok jer la with some brilliant moments, tapi some parts crappy gila tahap B grade.

Diary of the Dead aku da tengok on download berbulan lepas, but best tengok dalam panggung. Melompat gak sekali dua. Kesian Sarol bukan horror fan kot, ke letih sangat tengok mata pun da berair sambil ngantuk.

Anyway Sarol. Thanks for one of the most meaningful presents I've gotten this Christmas, selain my mom and dad and my sister's (three books including JK Rowling's The Tales of Beedle the Bard dan Lipstick Jungle - fabulous! - all of which aku da baca abih)




Hope you don't mind my simple present. And thanks again...

Ok guys.. later posting agik ok. Letih panjang sangat blog entry marathon ni...


PS - Hazrey.... ko ni ilang cepat sangat pas abih 3 minit allowance tuh. Tak sempat aku claim murtabak! Psttt bro. Ko memang wartawan kontroversi TV3 for 2008. Matilah akuuu.. huahuahua

Perkahwinan Asmawi Ani dan Nora'Asikin Rahmat (Felda Taib Andak Part 2)

Ok so aku hutang pics kan. Sebelom pot pet panjang lagik, let me get the pics out of the way pada sapa yang mai sini nak tengok gambar je. Ak try minimise merapu aku to a minimum so takder ler panjang lebar sangat entry nih.

Sampai the dewan about past noon. Nampak last minute preparations kat luar masih ongoing in the sweltering heat.

Entrance nak masuk dewan


Khemah-khemah kat luar



Finishing touches yang bersepah outside from the bung telur to the goodie/gift bags to other decor






Well, actually not just luar. Dalam pun sibuk letak finishing touches. The pelamin and all looked kind of nice.

But in a way, they should have edited out those details yang tak perlu. Nampak sarat pun ada. Some of the items looked very Deko Bersama Eric (puke!) and others just looked totally salah - like the lamps which didn't look Javanese, but more Balinese. And some of those flowers which made it look tacky. But overall memang cantik, cuma mungkin slightly overdose.

Sebelum bermula segalanya


The pretty out of tune nasyid group


The wonderful pelamin






Oops... amik berkat...


Example of how tacky lighting can even spoil the most beautiful of pelamins


So sapa nak tiru stail pelamin camni, cuba kurangkan sarat rimba tropika nih ek. Sebab idea memang cantik, cuma execution kurangkan dramatic element tuh. Less is more - especially in this case.

The other parts of the hall - was also divided to the area for the pulut kuning, and also the dining area for the married couple.

Simple but nice - except those lampu lip lap thingies. They should have used something more classier or executed it better







Cantik - cuma very shaky, risau lak nak roboh time live telecast semua berasak nak amik pic




We had lunch, and sweated bucket loads sebab da la panas kat luar. Dewan diaak ventilation nan ado - stuffy gila and kipas lak semua very the tak cukup. It was especially in adequate nak handle all the extra lighting for the live show.

Kalao korang perasan kan, pulut kuning tuh. The cream on top of it was DRIPPING away. Matilah katanya tengahari da melting away. It was THAT hot in the dewan. But somehow it escaped the attention of several geniuses. Heh... merasalah sauna bila majlis bermula kang.

Aiyo... jap agik sambung with more pics.
