23rd May 2010, in one day, Mak Anjang (MIL's younger sis) welcomed three new members into the Banting family. Two grandaughters were married on the same day and one was engaged the evening before. Managed to snap a few photos of the youngest girl, Raja Siti Ain b. Raja Razman.

Presented her with my 'bierdemeir' design sirih junjung and the Banting girls prepared for them with wedding favors ..  gifts for the guests.

Long overdue update

No excuse is a good excuse. Sure there have been great happenings since mid 2007 till this date. On top of the list was the date: 15 Oct 2007 that marked end of my service with Tourism Malaysia and instead on the monthly salary in the bank account, now would just be the monthly pension payment from the treasury.

That particular day was 2nd day of the Eidulfitri festivity. What more..birthday cake for the October babies - Adik, Kak Long Jenab with her daughter Eza and cucu Azelea, brother-in-law Kamaruddin and yours truly, though feeling shy, I did love blowing the candle and slicing up the befday cake at age of 57.

Emak

This grand old lady has great influence in my life.
 Always a special spot in heart for me.
