Last Saturday, 24th November 2007, a kenduri was held at Ma's kampung in Rantau; a Doa Selamat for Atuk & Wan's Haj trip next week.
The invitations were mostly done by Atuk himself and through his masjid connection. Pa & Ma and Mami & Uncle Li also did their parts to invite their family member for the event after Maghrib.
Of course, the preparation started very early on Saturday morning with the marketing works.
Lets follow the pictorial story Pa had captured:
Pa & Wan left for Seremban before 7am to do the marketing at the Pasar Besar Seremban. The crowd had already build up by the time they arrived at the market area. After dropping off Wan Pa had to park his car outside the market area as the parking space within the pasar area was all taken up.

Here's Wan at the chichen and meat stall to check on the order she had placed earlier in the week. The order was still being processed.
While waiting, they went for breakfast at the nearby mamak restaurant. Wan had nasi lemak while Pa had roti canai.
By 9.00am, Pa and Wan had arrived back from the market with the chicken, meat and other stuff.
Work had already started with Ma and Mami getting the stove ready for cooking while Uncle Li grated the coconut he brought from his Rembau kampung.
Pak Pi and Uncle Din were busy cleaning the chicken and fish while Kak Aishah, Abang Lutfi and me were having a good time at the swing under the house.
The pulut kuning was almost ready while Atuk was entertaining a relative who visited him. Pa, Ma & myself had to make a trip to Rantau to get more santan; typical of Negeri cooking.
The senior ladies in the meantime were busy peeling the onions etc.
The dishes were already over the fire; supervised by Wan with helping hands from Wan Aciks' sons.
By 6.30pm the rice was just about ready; Pak Ngah Jerai making a final check to see its well cooked.
Everything is all set and ready for tonight's kenduri.
See ya in the Kenduri blog....coming next.
