I should have updated this blog about our Mentakab trip last Friday (it has been a week!). The trip was meant for a wedding of my other half's nephew. My eldest drove us there while my third son drove himself independently there due to his afternoon appointment at his place of stay. I, too, was supposed to submit some final exam questions in person at the Exam Unit in XMUM (they cannot be emailed) but I made a request to do this on Monday.
We arrived there in Mentakab sometime in the afternoon and we took our lunch at the Go'Bang Maju, whch I thought was pretty unique - they have us picked whatever dish we want and placed them in a trolley for us to pay at the cashier counter (see pics).
We stayed at the Mass Boutique Hotel, which is quite close to the venue of the wedding. We also went to the Pool Villa where the other in-laws are staying.
The nikah ceremony was held at the CAC Wedding Hall at 9 am. It was made that early because the qadi (the official religious officer who oversees the wedding declaration and vows) has several other weddings to attend that day. So we were there quite early.
Later, the rest arrived (see pics below).
For the nikah ceremony, it was in a room with limited seats and only close family members were there. I'm not a very sociable person but I try my best to strike some form of normal conversation (see first pic), but the topic that was raised is the war in Middle East - luckily I followed some of independent news on the war.
In the afternoon (around lunchtime), the wedding reception was held at the bigger hall downstairs. Below are some pics.
We went back home in Seremban early next morning to allow us some time for rest. We also take the opportunity to try out a new Middle Eastern restaurant, called Aladdin, treating ourselves after the long journey.
