Assalamualaikum Readers,
My family and I planned to visit my cousin's family at Pulau Pinang @ Penang for the Awal Muharram holidays. In conjunction of the long weekend, there were definitely wedding invitations. I was lucky because I received invitations from my ex-classmates at my law school, AIKOL, IIUM. Kak Hanis & Fauzi in particular. Both weddings were in Sungai Petani & Baling, Kedah respectively, although the route was further up than our original destination in Penang, but how nearer can I be to attend their weddings right?

Initially I planned to attend Fauzi's wedding which was scheduled to end at 6 pm, however when I arrived at Sungai Petani it was already almost 4pm and Kak Hanis's wedding scheduled to end at 5 pm. We were supposed to arrive earlier but what to do, the highways were jammed from time to time and unfortunately we encountered some accidents on the way. Oh yes not to forget we also passed by 2 convoys of 20 Mercedes Kompressor and 15 Ferraris. And they were all Singaporeans. Dang.
Oh yes coming back to my story, since we were at Sungai Petani at almost 4pm, we decided to find Kak Hanis's house first. Crazy story was, I did not confirm to attend both their weddings, and I didn't have their maps also their phone numbers, so I just counted on my luck to arrive based on my own research. Alhamdulillah we reached Kak Hanis's place, located at a humble village and welcomed by her mother. We tried not to be awkward since apparently Kak Hanis and her beloved hubby were not at the wedding, they were already snapping photos for their bridal album at Pantai Merdeka, a nearby beach.
These were my meals there :

After stuffing our faces, we asked for directions to meet Kak Hanis. I got her phone number and she asked us to wait. While waiting in our car, we bought a cup of fresh coconut juice at a nearby stall at only RM 1.60 and we confirmed it was one of the best coconut juice we ever had, the coconut meat so thick, and juice so naturally sweet. Too bad I didn't manage to snap a photo.
Meanwhile Kak Hanis phoned back and asked to meet us halfway. We did and yay! Alhamdulillah we managed to meet the newlyweds. =) At a very awkward background, we snapped photos to freeze the memory hahah. =D

By that time, it was 5 plus which made it impossible Fauzi's wedding before 6 pm. So we cancelled the trip to Banting but alhamdulillah Fauzi knew I tried to attend his wedding. As for Kak Hanis, I am happy I did manage to show up at her wedding because well both Fauzi & Kak Hanis are not close to me, I cannot even recall if I ever spoke to Fauzi but I am happy when those who never spoken to me at uni added me on FB so somehow the friendships start there. Now they have included me to attend their weddings, of course I feel honoured and touched and will try my best if I could attend. Well I was pretty much a lone ranger at uni, but Kak Hanis was a really great soul to me. Never she said no whenever I ask for favours from her especially on assignments, notes etc. She is always so helpful, and I believe if she always helped me who is not close to her, definitely to others she has helped more. She is also very cheerful and funny her husband is lucky to have her. She has resigned from being a lawyer at Ampang to be with her husband at Taiping, which is better because closer to her family in Kedah as well. Maybe I will not bump into her much like I did at the courts before, but I will always pray the best for her and will never forget her insha Allah. =)
Oh yes and here is a random pic of the old-school Bunga Straw (Straw Flowers) which were popular many many years ago still found relevant at the Sungai Perak R&R Restroom. Nice. =)
