First Wedding - 2009.

On 3rd January 2009, the whole family was invited to a wedding at Bukit Sentosa in Rawang. It was the wedding of Amisyhril Edwan bin Amran to Shariza binti Jamal Abdul Nasir. Bukit Sentosa is a Produa country and the housing estates well planned and easy to locate.

Amran Din the bridegroom’s father is a close friend since 1960 when we stayed together in the Hostel at Government English School Tapah. He remains a close buddy. Amran Din, now a Pensioner was all the while with Radio Television Malaysia. At one time he was the Head of Limbang Station and reporting to my brother in Kuching Sarawak. Apparently, his wife hailed from the same kampong where I am staying now therefore, we are always near.

Though it was raining and drizzling at time, the wedding ceremony went as scheduled. The “bunga manggar” and the “kompang” were there typical of a Malay wedding. Some Guests came in well equipped with umbrellas and make the function more colorful. The food was superb and with the cool weather everybody seems to be having a good appetite and enjoying it. As usual Amran and his wife was busy entertaining the Guests and the children gladly welcome Guests armed with spare umbrellas.

Wedding is also a function where you can meet with old friends and I was glad to meet Professor Dr Yusuf Hashim and Rahman Surur a retired Police Officer. I have not met these two gentlemen for ages. Dr Yusuf Hashim is still attached with UPSI Tanjong Malim and Rahman now back in Malaysia where he was normally assigned with London Police. We exchanged notes and inquire what happened to so and so and where they are now. I was sorry to know that Rahman lost his wife in 1993 and he also had his bypass done.

Familiar faces from my residential area were also there as mentioned earlier Amran Din’s wife is my Kampong mate. My brother who was one time Amran Din Boss got me on the line stating that he would be arriving later.

We left the function and we still need the umbrella to the car.
