Zikir & Doa Selamat (Thanksgiving)


30th July 2009

Alright, this update is definitely way overdue. Last 19th July, we organised a Zikir and Thanksgiving ceremony in conjunction with our moving in the new home. Approximately 350 guests came and we are very thankful that the weather was nice and sunny, despite heavy rains the days before.

However, everyone was in shock when a sudden gush of wind blew, lifting one of the tents set up at the side of the house. Luckily, the guests were quick and got hold of the tent before it flew up and probably damage some cars parked nearby.

Apart from that, everything went smoothly. On this note, a special thanks to my parents-in-law who sponsored 'daging salai' (smoked beef stew), rice and 'sayur umbut' as part of the main menu. Thanks as well to my family, and lastly a special appreciation to my sisters [Liza] and [Ain] for the great pictures.

The zikir team invited from the Pulaie Mosque. Zikir is the Islamic way of praising and remembering God and Prophet Muhammad which is put beautifully in a variety of melodies.

My sister also took some pictures in the house. Hehehe... one benefit of having a sister who loves photography. Thanks sis!
