being the best man for da weekend.......

hey peeps,

hope u had a great weekend..........well i know i did..............great weekend, hectic and also bit tiring.........but it is all worth it...........for 2 days straight i became the pengapit a.k.a the best man for my best fwen's wedding.......... it was very enjoyable and also it was fun i must say.......
on saturday, i woke up early to visit dad who is still in the hospital.......oh yeah, dad has discharged from the hospital on the same day too.........cheers dad.......... so ask dad how's it goin and is the pain still there and so on.............and ask dad whether i could use his car to go for mahat's wedding reception in sepang which is so near KLIA.........he approved it since the car hasn't moved for like nearly 2 weeks............. but there's a catch to it...........he said, if u wanna use the car make sure that i give it a dry cleaning (wipe the car) and also just fill up the tank on what i've used..........deal i said...........hehehehehe...........

so went back to the house, and moved the car from the porch and also wiped it cleaned and also got ready for the wedding........... i had to wear a pink colored baju melayu which i think the color was nice, it is very suttled and also very soft the tone........... went to fetch sweetie at her place and straight away headed to the KLIA toll coz planned to meet Mahat (Mahathir) there.........when i was about to arrived there, mahat called me and inform that he is there already...........

mahat got ready with some stuff at the R&R and we went ahead to the Ayu's house (Mahat's wife)......... and the best part was we arrived when the guests are already there.........so mahathir had to do his make up with the make up artist (mak andam) in an under construction house........hahahaha...........what a romantic way to start ur wedding day........hehehe..........
later bout 30 mins after we've arrived, mahat's family arrived and we waited at an unoccupied house........ and the worse part said that the pengapit had to answer or give a pantun back when we are about entering the house.............i tell u peeps that my facial expression straight away changed and that my hearts was pumping really fast and adrenaline rush came out from no where................daymnnnn..........never thought of that since i tot that only johorean's are the ones that normally practices all these thing..............some more it was a hot day to add to the pressure so u guys could imagine how i was sweating that day.............i sweat more than the groom for the day i guess...........hahahahaha..........knees were weak out of sudden and that i've thought of other thing.............i asked mahat that are there any tolls at the gate where we had to give small change to the people at the gate.........and he said that there might be..........i was like WHAT????? and u never told me this.........hmmmmm, should have brought my touch and go reader or my credit card machine so that i could charge it there........hhehehehe..........then ayu came to mahat and i asked her whether are there any rituals today? and she said no..............and i tell u peeps that i was very relieved hearing that..........hehehehehehe....................

so off went the ceremony with the kompang and we escorted mahat to the pelamin and also he sat at the pelamin and i started to do my duty in which i had to wipe mahat's sweat, make sure that he is comfortable and also i had to be his helper to ensure that he is treated like a king.......... mahat was "dancing" on the pelamin becoz he was enjoying the beat of the kompang..........and i was like dude, on pelamin, no joget joget la, after this u wanna joget u can go...........and he was like, i dun give a damn, i wanna joget on the pelamin........ok then.......hehehehe.........after the bersanding we went for lunch and then we went back in for photography session..............the wedding ends bout 2ish and i was very sleepy on the way back from the wedding coz tummy was full, the weather outside was extremely hot and we entered the car with the cooling air-cond........what more can a person asked............hehehehehe...

..........after sending sweetie back to her place, i hit back home and upon arrival at home, some of the relatives were at home to visit dad.............the rest of the nite, i took it easy and just enjoy it.................

the next day, i woke up really early just to give dad's car and baby jazzy a dry clean coz on the way back yesterday from the wedding, i hit some rain drops so it left marks here and there on the cars..............and suprisingly dad was very happy when he saw his car was sparkling shinning..............so later, i have no issue to use dad's car again and again...........we must know how to tackle people's heart ma.............hahahahaha................

after the dry cleaning of the cars and all, i went to get ready for the wedding and arrived at the hotel bout 1115ish.......... sweetie couldn't make it coz she needs to attend something.......... upon arrival at the hotel, mahathir was getting ready in his pengantin clothes whilst i am still in my jeans and tshirt........so u can imagine how kanciung i was getting ready..........

with all the make ups and also the sampin folding to perfection around our waist, we went down to the VIP waiting area and there the floor manager briefed us on what was the plan and also where should the bestman should be standing and eat.............. then out of sudden, ayu realised that she has forgotten her hand bouquette in the room, and mahat was like, dude, u need to run up and get it.............so with holding up my sampin not to make it fall, i ran up as if i'm faster than the olympic gold medal winner Usain Bolt.........hahahahaha...........with a flash i came back with the bouquet................

then we got prepared for marching into the hall and the real kompang was playing with people playing it........i dunno bout u peeps, but for me i prefer to the real people playing kompang rather than the musix kompang where it comes out from the speaker box..............it just doesn't bring in the umphh in the environment when the bride and groom walks into the hall..............so back to the story, we the pengapit walked in first during the marching to the pelamin and set up the chairs for the pengantin to sit on............... apparently there was no space for us the pengapit to be on the stage, so for us is that we just go up there, set up the place for the pengantin and came down the stage and wait at the end of the stage for the bride and groom to come down and escort them to the eating stage.............
after accompanying them to the eating stage, we the pengapit had our own table for the food which is beside the main eating stage for easy access if there were any probs to the bride and groom...............and when i was having my meals, i got a phone call from sweetie........and to my suprise, she said that she's already at the parking spot of the hotel.................so i went to pick her up and gave the keys to the room for her to change and later she went down to join the fun..........thx for coming sweetie....muaxxx......

so i accompany sweetie for lunch and later she went back to her errands.............met some folks from uni days and did some catch ups with em.........the function basically ends bout 4 and had some chat with mahat's relative and later at 5 went back to the room and took a nap..........felt very tired and just need to rest me eyes for a while............got a wake up call from sweetie bout 6 and hit back home where i've reached bout 7ish.................

all and all, my weekend was fun, hectic and tiring.............but then it is all worth it..............

to mahat and mokhzani, i wish u all the best and also happy always with ur partner in life..........

cheers.........
