Syaafi Al-Asyraaf

JPMC, 28th March 2009 11:59hrs, a superstar was born.


Less than an hour after birth.

Banjirrr!

Seria town was badly affected after continuous heavy rain. Luckly the water subsided quickly.

The Seria Masjid was also affected. Prayer room was not...the level is higher than the ground. If the water raised by 1/2ft then... surely it will be affected.

Nice view.... this is supposed to be an empty ground... not a lake!

Pic taken not far from my home. Again this is not a lake! It supposed to be an empty field. Ada anak sungai di ujung ladang ani... tapi overflow. In fact, there is a drain, quite wide and deep hidden a few meters away from where i took the pic.

Rain and raining in Brunei

Brunei was not expection to recent wet season

Everyday its raining since Dec 2008?

The Empire - Jan 2009

Nikah, Bersanding, Ambil-ambilan, Mulih

Eight event: Majlis Nikah (the agreement). Usually holds on Fridays, this is when the groom and the bride sign their agreement/contract.

This event usually accompanied with Berian (refer previous posting)... (pic shows majlis Menapakan, the event after both groom and bride wear their wedding ring, and the groom reads a short prayer for blessing)

Ninth event: Majlis Bersanding/Perkahwinan (the wedding day or the BIG day). 99% holds on Sunday morning. From hundreds to thousands of people are invited. Also commonly holds on two different places between the groom and the bride. Lately people prefer to hold this event in a big hall. I did mine in chancellor’s hall with 3000 invited guests form both sides. Both groom and bride wear kain jongsarat/songket (a traditional golden weaved dress)

(pic on left shows a nephew wears yellow strip prior to accompanying the groom for "mandi bedian", right pic: the groom eats nasi kuning (yellow rice)

(Left: blowing off candles with 7 strings made-up of different colors, right: going to Masjid)

(the groom and the bride or the king and queen for the day)(pic at bride's house, the bride's family shakes with all invitees... and of course...biggg makan at the bride's house).
(back from the big day, get-together at the groom's house, chit-chat before going home... kind of reviewing of the events, what went well and what's not... or taking of someone they met, etc and etc.... actually the moment the pic was taken, we were waiting for ice-cream cake from DQ store). There are actually many more small events that are not captured here, like mandi pagi (morning shower), breakfast, wedding charriot (the car) preparation... some of them as simple as daily things and some are actually more than words..

Tenth event: Malam Ambil-ambilan. Event holds the night after the big day at bride’s place attended by both families and relatives. Both groom and bride may wear western dress, or uniform for uniformed staffs. This event is getting less and less popularity and usually replace with Thanks-giving prayer.

Eleventh event: Mulih 3-hari or 7-hari (the return of groom and bride to the groom’s place). The translation explains the whole thing
