Alright this is gonna be a whole page of 'grandmother's story'. No, my grandma isn't blogging it's me. Hey wait don't run away yet. Got loads of pictures. Hehe. First Jan was awesome to the core!!!!! It was Marinah's coming of age ceremony cum Shidaka's 21st birthday celebration. Look at Marine Life. Gorgeous and mature! Kudos to my neighbours for her hairstyle and make-up. By the way, all you need is 2 words to piss her off. Tell her she is a big girl already. muahaha
And here is the beautiful cake as designed by Aba and baked by the baker.
And then I gotta thank the most important people who helped us. My neighbours Uncle and Aunty Ali for lending us all the big big utensils for cooking and the buffet trays and also the beautiful plates. My neighbours, Aunty Rani and family for dressing Marinah up, they bought her this pink dress too and also helping us in mixing coffee for our guests and helping to source for the chair and table rental supplier. And most of all, Uncle Mail, not the mail uncle, Uncle Ismail and his wonderful family, Mami, Hassan, Hussein, Abbas and Bilal, for helping us NON-STOP from morning to night. Here is the wonderful family.
And here is Rani Aunt's daughter, Vijaya Akka with Marine Life. She did the make-up and hairstyle for Marinah
I don't think we have a picture of Uncle and Aunt Ali but oh well, thank you so much! Alhamdulillah everything went well. noticettrelativesdidntcomeinthepicture. ANYWAY, I asked some to help take pictures, TAKE PIC ONLY FOR GOD'S SAKE AND NOT STRIPTEASE. waddefug la no one helped on that. Ohwell, let's not pollute my blog with negative comments about weird people.
OK these are preparation pictures.
