Mrs’ Diary…

Baby Rayyan Invitation Card

 18hb Julai 2009 is the date Baby Rayyan had his cukur jambul n aqiqah for the very first time. We had this one lovely baby goat for Baby Rayyan n plan to had another one for his first year birthday. In Islam, we been suggested to have 2 goat for bay boy n 1 goat for baby girl and the aqiqah need to be done before the baby turn mature (akil baligh). The aqiqah n cukur jambul is not necessarily to be done. The both event is consider to announce that the couple had receive their child n care to share with families n friends. The aqiqah is to show how grateful of us towards God gift and the meat will be cooked deliciously n gave to guest who attended.

As for us, Baby Rayyan will be the first baby in both of the families. So the celebration from my family is a must. The most happiest people in the world is my parents. Their first grandson n will be their company whenever they go out. As for me n hubby, this is the symbol of love from both of us. We been know each other since 2002 n get married on 2008 n God had given us precious gift on 2009.

The morning of 18 Julai 2009 was bright n sunny. We had our last preparation of Baby Rayyan door gift to the guest n Marhaban Group. We had aromatheraphy perfume given to women n blue memopad to men. Lovely printed Baby Rayyan’s Aqiqah & Cukur Jambul Event. Even in Islam, we are been suggested to give either things that goes with nice to smell or something good to eat. At first we tot of having Madu as our doorgift but its hard to get Madu in a jar that we wanted n also perfume from Saudi Arabia. Perfect for our first son but the manufacturer need at least 2 weeks to settle our order n time to send to Malaysia. Seriously the bottle perfume gorgeous. May be I can do for Rayyan 1st Birthday.

At 12 the caterer n the canopy people came n start to decorated our house. We had 6 canopy line up n my mom ordered nasi beriyani kambing & ayam. Delicious. It is the same caterer as our wedding. The food fantastic. I can smell the briyani from inside the house. The buffet was setup beautiful at our car porch with flowers n lots of balloons!!! At 1 the balloons people from Party House came n setup the deco inside the house. We had the pelamin for Baby Rayyan cradle n staircase decorated a night before.  At this particular time, we planned to had lots n lots of balloons inside the house as Baby Boy celebration.

Baby Rayyan Fantasy World

Balloons Everywhere

See I told u Balloons everywhere....

 Total of 1000 balloons had decorated inside the house n its feel like having a fantasy world on that day. The smell of yoke charm n jasmine bring out the memory of my solemization n wedding day. It feel just like me n Akmal having our solemization day. I stare happily with tears rolling out from my eyes. In this one year plus many things had happen, good n bad things n I grateful to God that I still live with people around me cherish n love me day by day.

Me n Akmal get on to our dress. Akmal with his cream baju melayu, recently make to measure from SparksMen shop in pavillion, Kuala Lumpur n me with my cream lace baju kurung. Baby Rayyan was wearing handsomely his Tok Mama long dress knitting special for the day. Me n my mom had done our makeup with my previous make up person, Herryanto. We had great time with him n we like to have him around our family whenever we need people to make up us. He done terrific job on me n my mom.

 At 3pm, the Marhaban group member come with 33 member altogether n start the event with Doa Selamat & Tahlil for our late grandparents & the people had passed long time ago. While having Tahlil in our house, I was thinking could it be better if both my grandparents be here holding Rayyan in their arms. I was been raised by my grandparents becoz I’m the eldest. So, I’m more close to them rather than my prents. But don’t u guys ever thinks that I don’t have any love or respect to my parents. If my parents not here with me, support me n guide me….I don’t think so I could ever life as strong as this.

They are singing Berendoi Song...

My Tears almost fall down...

Guest started to show up, it fun to have all people that we known for years came to see Baby Rayyan. As for my mom friends, Baby Rayyan  consider as their grandson also. becoz most of them still have small child. If got same age with me, most probably single but not available . As to my friend, they will be Baby Rayyan godfather n mother. As for Kim & Lionel, Baby Rayyan is their little nephew.

I’m quite suprise for my cyber friend, elly. She n her husband came away from Shah Alam to Gombak just to meet n the famous Baby Rayyan ). Seriously, big thanks u guys! Hope our friendship last long!

My photographer, Linda Latip from Beautkids Photography arrived a bit late due to she stuck in the jam at Sungai Besi highway. It is the day that Manchaster vs Bukit Jalil team. It is a friendly match n everybody know that Bukit Jalil will have telur ayam & Manchaster will have thousand of score ). But she n her hubby amazingly took picture of Baby Rayyan n the event. Tengkiu very much Linda.

The Marhaban Group started their marhaban n berendoi. It was so lovely n sweet n touch many people heart including me n hubby. The poet arrange beautifully n its about how the baby will grow up to respect his father n mother n family that love him so much n deeply. How to be grateful to Allah when he grown up. Tears by tears fall from my eyes n to Baby Rayyan chubby check. I wish to have my nenek n datuk right now. Seriously. Words cannot express how miss I am towards them. I can even smell my nenek smell around me that day. May be she n datuk pay a visit to us n Baby Rayyan.

After marhaban n berendoi song, we had everybody including the Marhaban member cukur jambul Baby Rayyan. Yes, indeed Baby Rayyan have lots of hair n the best part he had long hair perfom jambul that need to be cut anyway. So the cukur jambul event in a way to trim Baby Rayyan jambul )

There Goes Baby Rayyan Jambul....
