15th February 2008
At approximately 4.00 in the morning, the whole family got up early to prepare for the praying ceremony at the site. We were very concerned since it is the rainy season (and when it rains it is always heavy), but the weather turned out to be fine.
We arrived at the site after the Fajr prayers, and at about 5.45 am, the ceremony starts. Even 3 year old Syafi and 1 year old Safiya joined in the experience despite the early hours.
Apart from my wife and I, other very close relatives decided to come along too, namely my in-laws and a close cousin. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Yang Dimuliakan Pehin Khatib Awang Haji Ahmad for his willingness to recite the prayers that morning.
