Stalls, serving from mutton soup to char kueh teow to satay and rojak

Everyone were eager to get in, we arrived at 6pm coz it only took us less than 20 minutes from my place in desa petaling to sri melayu

Quick photo opp with the love of my life, the girl, not the flubber around my waist.
I find this picture disturbing, just disturbing....
Some shots of the private roomfelt like I'm dining at my arwah wan's house, we had the exect same windows and curtains.

This is how they looked like by 8:30pm, macam udang dah muka.. tak larat dah la tu
Even ameen was too full to breathe too
This little one followed me from the buffet table to our dining room.. erm can I keep her? Her name is aishah by the way, we found out from her mom that went all over the restaurant looking for her..

Edisi KL : Isteriku lelaki
Oleh Rashidi Karim
Taken From: Harian Metro

KANGAR: Satu pasangan suami isteri sedang disiasat pihak berkuasa agama Islam kerana meragui status jantina si isteri yang dikatakan lelaki selepas mereka berkahwin, baru-baru ini.

Perkahwinan pasangan itu terbongkar apabila si `isteri’ membawa pulang suami ke rumahnya di Utan Aji, dekat sini, untut memaklumkan kepada keluarga mengenai perkahwinan mereka.

Sumber berkata, si isteri itu berusia awal 20-an adalah penduduk tempatan manakala suaminya berusia 30-an berasal dari Alor Star dan kes mereka kini dalam siasatan Jabatan Agama Islam Perlis (Jaips).

Beliau berkata, pasangan itu mendakwa berkahwin di negara jiran sejak sebulan lalu atas dasar cinta tanpa pengetahuan keluarga masing-masing.

“Bagaimanapun, perkahwinan itu terbongkar apabila si isteri membawa suami kesayangannya pulang ke rumahnya di Utan Aji, untuk memaklum kepada keluarga.

“Bapanya yang tahu anaknya seorang lelaki berang lalu menelefon polis kerana beranggapan anaknya tidak layak dipanggil isteri,” katanya di sini, semalam.

Beliau berkata, kes itu sudah dirujuk kepada pihak berkuasa agama negeri dan siasatan terperinci, termasuk mengenal pasti status jantina isteri terbabit sudah dilakukan.

Jurucakap polis ketika dihubungi enggan menggulas perkara itu kerana menganggap kes itu adalah di bawah bidang kuasa pihak berkuasa agama.

Sementara itu, Bahagian Penguatkuasa Jaips ketika dihubungi Harian Metro enggan menggulas mengenai dakwaan wujud perkahwinan sesama lelaki kerana siasatan masih dijalankan.

“Kami tidak boleh mendedahkan perkara ini kerana ia boleh menjejaskan imej Perlis. Anda (wakil Harian Metro) selalu menimbulkan masalah kepada kami.

“Saya enggan memberi sebarang komen. Tunggu pengarah balik daripada mengerjakan Umrah,” kata seorang pegawai penguat kuasa Jaips.

Sumber itu berkata, pasangan itu hadir ke pejabat Jaips beberapa hari lalu untuk diambil keterangan manakala si isteri sudah diminta menjalani pemeriksaan kesihatan.

“Pemeriksaan doktor mendapati si isteri langsung tidak mempunyai fizikal seorang wanita, cuma jiwa dan perasaan lebih kepada wanita.

“Lelaki berkenaan yang juga suaminya dikatakan mengetahui kedudukan isterinya tetapi tidak mengambil sebarang tindakan kerana terlalu mencintai pasangannya,” katanya.

Katanya, lelaki dari Kedah dan pasangannya itu dikatakan mahu mendaftar perkahwinan mereka di Perlis.

“Si suami dikatakan dalam keadaan tertekan dan takut berpisah dengan pasangannya serta kerap menghubungi Jaips bagi mempercepatkan keluaran surat nikah yang sah,” katanya.


*** Malaysia's first gay marriage attempt?

lagu raya

my cube mate is playing some lagu raya on his clie pda docking-speaker station. Raya mood is sinking in slowly but surely. I guess that's what makes me filled with emotions these few days. Missing my dad, feeling sad that I won't be preparing rendang with my mom on raya night this year.

Marriage is all about sharing, about being fair. I am grateful to munchkins because she was more than happy to be with me and celebrated raya in KL last year. It was her first time away from her family on raya night/ morning. I can only imagine how she must have been missign her family last year on raya night and morning.

This year will be my turn to spend raya with my inlaws, away from my family. I guess we better get used to it, taking turns spending raya with our parents.I look forward to many many more blissful years to spend with my munchkins, insyaAllah.

For some lagu raya, head on to my friend's blog.

goodbyes are always the hardest

especially when it's to an old faithful friend. She has been with us since the begining. A lot of memories, good memories.

So we said our goodbye to her last night. She's probably already in JB this morning. I wished we had gone longer on that last drive together.
