Old tradition never dies

went back to kampung today... accompanying my mum to one of our relative's kenduri kawin... i'm not really sure how we are related as it sounded very complicated when she tries to explain to me when i ask...

it has been awhile since i attend a kampung wedding... and i really love it!!! i guess i missed the dos that we used to have at our grandfather's place when we were small... my uncle's weddings... when there's a wedding, the house will be packed with ppl even 1 week before the day... neighbours coming around to see what they can help on.. bringing sugar, potatoes, onions, milk etc etc etc... u can really feel the festive mood in the air... we call this "rewang"... everybody in the village will come in to give a helping hand without even being asked... siap ada jawatankuasa... sapa yg jaga masak2, sapa yg jaga tetamu... everything being discussed and plan together... no wonder org kat kampung rapat macam family... i saw that just now... the rewang... the old ppl will sit in front to usher guests... and the ladies will be busy making sure guest have enuf to eat...

its so diff.... food was great... home cook kan... mmg sedap!! there's no big tents with coloured scallops... not even flowers to decorate the place... only smiling faces welcoming u.... hmmm... its good that this tradition are still being practiced... not many village or places actually does this anymore... well, including my family... most ppl now uses catering for their events... sekarang bukan semua org nak tolong kan... furthermore, semua org pun busy with their on lives...

but, it is sure fun attending one wedding like that... well whatever it is tak kisah la rewang ke catering ke.., yg penting is having all your family and frens around you during your big day... kan?!! hehehhe...
