INVITED AND GETTING THE INVITATION CARD DELIVERED THE TRADITIONAL WAY

Someone insisted to deliver his wedding invitation card by hand despite the fact that I had told him the e-card should suffice because of the new norm. So here he was in front of my house [with the mother and wife in the car] after 10:30 p.m. to hand over the card the traditional way.

Long time ago, it was customary for the hosts to get the wedding invitation card delivered personally to the house AND the relatives/close friends/neighbours had to be verbally invited to show how important for the guests to be present for the event. This tradition is however not practised that much as people seem to be get occupied with all sorts of things these days. 

Thanks Mr. Syazwan Shavarein for the kind thought and all the trouble. InsyaAllah, with God's will, I will be there for the reception when the day comes.

OF SUPPER AND AN INVITATION CARD

A date was set with Mr. Suhaizie Jasmani [SMKTUN SPM batch 2006] for a supper dinner/session but most importantly the hand over of his wedding invitation card. The eating place chosen was The Pinggan Cafe, which was not that far from my house.

There were three other ex-students of the batch joining in the meeting - the more the merrier.

One more ex-student settling down and one less people to ask me out for coffee session after this it seemed. Still, I am looking forward to attending the big event in two weeks' time.

THE WEDDING INVITATION CARD HANDING OVER "CEREMONY"

3rd FEBRUARY 2017 ~ When an ex-student suddenly appears at your doorsteps for no apparent reason, or contacts you via social media after disappearing for a long time, most of the time, it means someone is getting married soon. 

A group of ex-students of SMK Taman Universiti (SPM batch 2010) paid me a visit and one of them was handing over the wedding invitation card personally. Thanks a lot Mr. Mohd. Faiq, and (Insyaallah) I will be there at the reception after all the effort.

And thanks also to the others for accompanying. It felt just an early Eid celebration.
