Just came back from Tawau last week (the last time I visited tawau was back in 1989). Went there for my cousin's wedding and i was super excited as I was going to see sabah after soooooo long. Basically our trip there is pretty organized. The 1st 3 days we had functions to attend, the nikah, girl's side function and boy's side function. But the rest of the day its up to us how we spend our time.
Friday-5th of June 2009
Woke up at 3am in the morning (argh), got ready and left for LCCT at 4.45am. Arrived at 6am. Had MCD breakfast...Our flight took off at 7.20am sharp! arrived sabah approximately in 2 hours and 40min. Excited(like a small kid). Take off was exhilirating :D As we arrived my cousin brother, Fadlan was already there to fetch us. We had a drink at the airport and went straight to the Hotel. Journey from the airport to town takes about 45min. on the way we were chit chatting, catching up on old times. Then we arrived MB hotel, it was early so our room wasn't ready. We had to wait. We waited at the lobby till we got our room, its a nice room though..Simple yet comfy (thank for booking the rooms for us Kak Zhaf). Around 2 pm we went out for lunch, had this delicious lunch in Malaysian Chicken rice shop.
After lunch we've decided to rest in the room as the nikah is at 6.30pm later in the evening. We got ready and left around that time. As we arrived, the Khatam Al-Quran was just about to start and I saw my cousin sis in her bride costume, she was sooo pretty! "Seri Pengantin" kata org =) snap a few pics then we headed outside for the khatam Quran.
after that as the groom arrives. the Nikah started. Everything went well. Sekali lafaz je. Alhamdulillah...
The rest of the nite, were spent with photo taking sessions, and getting to know both sides of the family =)
We left around 10.30pm.. As i did not have enuf sleep the nite before, I slept quite well =) Will continue about my next day in my next blog...
