So long didn't update blog already~~
Been busy this few days or maybe lazy to update XD..
Let's talk about my day in Malacca
I'm back to hometown on 11th June, Thursday, cause the next day will be holding grandma's 80th birthday woo woo~~ Since, I'm her grand daughter, then I have to follow my tradition. I'm a peranakan which means, a nyonya lol.. According to what i know, the chinese people long long time ago married the local people, which is malay. So this means that, I'm a mix hahaha, but maybe a unique one that i can eat pork hohohoho...
Ok.. Enough for my background. Erm... On Thursday night, helped aunty and some other people to prepare a mini basket full of flowers called 'bunga rempai'. I think this is what they called la... On top of the flowers, place a 20cent. Let me introduce how they prepare the flower.. I think they have 'pandan' leaves and I don't know what flowerss, just that i know is a lot of flowers mix together. They blend the 'pandan' leaves so that it'll become small in size and then miz with those flowers that had also been blend (i think la). After that, mixing it with perfume and we 'stir' it, just like baking lol.. Then, we place the bunga rempai inside a basket. My family said that, this is what they gave to people as a souvenier just like for Malay's wedding, they gave a bunga telur, but for peranakan, we gave bunga rempai.



The next day is the big day.. My sis and I have to set our hairs, it was around 2pm that time. (So early la). Mom said that since both of us are the receptionist, we have to be there early haiz... After setting our hair, went back to hotel and bath. No time already but I still taking my sweet~ time watching tv hahaha... At last of course get scolded la.. After bath, i put on my baju kebaya, sarung, kerongsang and beaded shoe. Kerongsang is the so called brooches. According to our custom, we have no buttons but using kerongsang as the buttons. After that, definitely have to make up lo... This is how i looked like after every preparation.



After reaching there, have to start work. So so messy at the 1st place, i have no idea who they are ma.. Keep going like that until 8pm then the ceremony begins. My family walked inside while my sis and I hid behind a pillar while holding a bouquet of flower to give grandma. I love that flower a lot~~ I hope i'll get one soon haha.. After giving grandma, we join them and walk to our table.
Blah blah blah.. All the speeches and singing and finally come to the cake cutting. All of us go in front and of course to sing a birthday song after that, cut the cake and we have toast, it is sparkling juice, wahhhh i love it.. After that there's the peranakan dance, they called it joget lol. I was force to dance?? But trust me, I won't. Just swigging hands with my cousin hahahaha. We make a circle and everyone hold hands and swing lol, who cares la.. Other guests, who are also my relatives join in and dance. I was speechless that time, cause i don't know how to dancer that. A modern girl like me only dance hip hop la. But I admire everyone. After that we headed back to our table and enjoy our meal. Dance floor was open right after that too.. Many aunties and uncles go and dance. There're cha cha, line dance and etc (Actually i forget the names ald).
My cousin, the cutest one also join in the big people to dance. Honestly, i don't know what dance is he dancing, perhaps his stlye lol. I only know he keep on shake his head all the while, damn funny leh.... A lot of dances but we the small ones only eat hahahahahaha.. That day really full lol..
The ceremony than end around 10 or 11pm and everyone headed back home, but we had a photo shooting before we go back. It was really fun that time and is my first time wearing kebaya and everything for so long..
