One weekend and 5 weddings!

CB plus to block all those carbs! 

I always love receiving wedding invitations and fulfilling each one of those. The CB plus preparation helped me block those carbs from the excessive eating at the weddings! We attended 5 weddings (all Malay weddings) this weekend (25th - 26th May, 2013).

So you can imagine the type of food those hosts were preparing for their guests! We had from buttered rice and beef rendang, fried chicken, vegetable curries and fruits and jelly/frozen yogurt and sweet wheat and kidney beans porridge to rojak petis! And  we have had life music to karaoke to Islamic DJ entertained us while we were eating those delicious food! It was just awesome!

Such big crowd at the wedding! They seemed oblivious to their surroundings when they were so engrossed in conversation with the person sitting next to them. Its awesome how they can just pick a conversation with each other like they have known each other for ages! Perhaps this is what we call the "kampung hospitality"!.

Hurmm.. this rice is very soft and yummy, Dik! Come and have a few mouthfuls! To which I preferred the desserts and the rojak!

And of course we were given a lot of gifts as a thank you gesture by the hosts. And these are silk purse and pencil case with very nice embroidery flowers. I simply love all these!

It was such a busy weekend - for a good cause, of course! And I simply love and appreciate the warmth each and every host displayed. Some asked about how our children were doing by mentioning their respective names! Some asked whether I am still teaching! (What gave them the idea that I am a Teacher, I myself found it funny!) But generally its their way of expressing their warm hospitality.

So I always thank them for inviting me when I go and shake hands with the women host. And told them that I liked their food. Most of the host will be speechless but later gave me a very sweet smile and warm hugs before we part our ways.

I am looking forward to attending another series of wedding invitations come this 1st June, 2013!
