Soon it was Maghrib and guests would be arriving soon. Ma didn't take long to dress me up as my Baju Kurung has been ironed in the evening with Ma's kurung and Pa's baju melayu.
Pa had also fully charged his camera battery as all the shots tonight would use flash; hence would drain the battery fast.
Lets continue with the rest of the event in the series of photos below:

Around 7.30pm the first guest arrived; Atuk was there to welcome the guests who came in baju melayu of all colours and patterns. Felt like Raya again.
Thats Hj Hasan (Wan's nephew's hubby) on the left and Tn Hj Md Zain being welcomed by Atuk.
Man of the ceremony, Tn Hj A Rahman Deli, the imam of Masjid qariah Kuala Sawah arriving last.
The ceremony started with a short tazkirah and announcement by the imam on the Hajj matters with guests all ears as to what was delivered.
The doa selamat was read by Tn Hj Imam
The womenfolk at the other part of the house following the doa read by imam.
As soon as the doa was over, food was swiftly served and the makan-makan has begun.
Every part of the house was used up to cater for the guests
The ladies in the meantime were served at the other lower part of the house. This is the time when a big house really helps.
Its nice to have these kenduri where the kampung folks and relatives get to meet and new friends are made.
Afater the meal, its mingling time. Atuk sharing his thoughts with Pak Lang and Uncle Li's brother in the house while Pak Pi was trying to tease me outside.
Before long, its time for good byes and well wishes to Atuk and Wan for their Hajj next week.
After all the guests had left, its cleaning up time for the ones who stayed behind. Fortunately most of the dishes had been washed, except for the pots and pans which were left for the following day.
Atuk & Wan were happy that the kenduri went well. The weather was fine and most of the invited guests showed up. Food was plenty; enough for take-aways for all the helpers and guests.
I had a very tiring evening and had a tough time trying to go to sleep.
