Mat Jemi had an accident

	Ham's nephew, Mustapha bin Omar aka Mat Jemi passed away at Ipoh hospital on Monday 19 Dec 2011.  He had a motorcycle accident around 7:00 am on his way back to his house from the mosque, when another motorcyclist hit him from the back.
Apparently the motorcyclist that hit him is in a bad condition also.  Mat Jemi, however, succumb to his head injuries and died at 12:15 pm at the hospital. He was buried at the Tambun cemetery after Asar prayers, same day.

Odah bertunang

My grand-niece Siti Saudah or Odah as she is popularly known, had her bertunang or engagement ceremony at her parent's home in Mersing, Johor on Sunday 18 Dec 2011. Regrettably, I was not able to attend; but for sure will try to make it when the wedding ceremony comes around. InsyaAllah.

Afternote
Just got Odah's invitation card yesterday, Monday 21 May 2012. The wedding will be on Saturday 16 Jun 2012 from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm at her parent's house in Mersing.


The Wedding
Ham, Zaki and I went to Mersing on Friday 15 Jun 2012 for Odah's Akad Nikah and Wedding. It was quite a big do at Tache's house starting with the Khatam Quran and Berzanji in the morning and the Akad Nikah at 3:00 pm on the 15th, followed by Merenjis in the evening after a Sate and Soto dinner. The next day, Saturday 16 Jun, the guests - family and friends from far and near - came as from 11:00 am. We were there at 11 and stayed until 1:00 pm when we had to make our way back to KL. We missed the bride and groom who came with their entourage at 2:30 pm.  I like such family occasions because of the opportunity for me to meet long lost friends and relatives, grand nephews and grand nieces most of whom I scarcely know by name.
