Our Delivery of Bethrothal Gifts ("GDL") OR you may call it dowry day, was set on 03.09.2008.Both of us took 2 days off apart from the Merdeka public holidays to prepare the necessary. I went back to my parents house few days earlier to kick starts everything. Dad was the excited one when it comes to packing/wrapping. Don't play play OK~my papa has good skill. We prepared 3 baskets in total. 1st basket was done on 31.08.08.

Before Mangkee reaches our place, dad went to take the roast pork from market and Mangkee carry it into the house when he reaches. The pork is HUGE! 65kg tau...But not as heavy as me lah. Aisheh.... Mangkee and his aunty reached our place approx 10am and bring along baskets containing lotsa goodies. After the prayer; we return some of the things from the baskets to Mangkee and dad cut the pork (middle part) and return the head and tail to Mangkee's side.
