This is an overdue entry which I was supposed to upload but didn't have the time to get around it. So here it is. My busy schedule included these happy and colorful events.
The two little ones on the way to the mosque for the akad nikah ceremony of one of their favourite cousins, my nephew Hafiz.
The bride and groom with the groom's mom, my sister - after the akad at the mosque.
The happy newlywed at the bride's reception in PJ.
Reception at my sister's house in Kuantan. In times like this, kids are the happiest! They enjoyed the moments, the crowd.. even the heat!
Another wedding, of my niece. The three little flower gals who were not too happy with the scarf around their neck!
Blame it on the cameraman... and the camera. My family and the handsome pair of pengantin.
The bride and groom with their respective parents at the groom's reception.
We all had great time meeting family and relatives whom in these days, we only get to see during weddings, hari raya, or funerals. I pray both couples be blessed with happiness, health and wealth for the rest of their married lives.
I can't believe it was 5 weeks ago since I last blog! A lot has been going on .. and I am still maidless. Of course, life must still go on. I am adjusting (and accepting) life as it is. Even though I wish my health is better so that I can do better.
I have a physical condition called "scoliosis", where my back bone is somewhat curved. It's inborn. It's genetically inherited. It was not so obvious when I was small but it's rather obvious now that I have aged. I can't do and lift heavy things and gets tired easily. The only way to correct it is via surgery but must done at an early age like in the teens while the bones are are still 'soft'. Two of my nieces (the twins) had their surgery last year and this year respectively at the age of 18 and 19. When I was that age, my mom already inquired about this surgery unfortunately the technology has yet to reach Malaysia then. When I was in the States, I went to see a chiropractor who confirmed my condition. But all he was interested in was to sell their products to ease my discomfort. So I left it as it is. Since it's not such a bother then.
Now however I can really feel it and sometimes look like Hunchback of Notre Dame. Because of this also I often get muscle spasm on my lower back. I've had this many times for the past few years and every time I got it I will not be able to walk properly for a few days. Usually I'll just get some muscle relaxant pills and some rest. Things will get back to normal within a week. I got one a few weeks ago .. and boy.. imagine the chaos in my household. No cooking, laundry and cleaning for a few days. Hubby had to take leave to transport the kids to school. Luckily it was only for a few days. It had to be!
Whatever it is, I am still thankful it is only physical. It is nothing major that I should to be too worried about. I only have to be careful!
