Remember in the last entry I mentioned I had to leave VSC early because of some family business? Well, this was it! My family were to send representatives over to his girl's home to seek her hand in engagement, or masuk meminang. Rushing home, my core body temperature still high from the exertion of football, I had to quickly spruce myself up. Traditionally, only the representatives were sent over, but since her family had requested that our entire family graced the occasion including Beg Mal, we complied. As always, for an engagement ceremony, our family preferred to keep it low-key and not make it big like a wedding ceremony. Typically, engagement 'binds' the girl to the man from anywhere between a period of 1 year to several years, but since the wedding ceremony is scheduled for February next year Insya'Allah, this engagement is only for a few months. And as it turns out, the girl is only 2 years older than me, and was from TKGS too! My first sister-in-law was a former TKGian. My potential sister-in-law is another TKGian. Will my future partner be a TKGian too? I hope not, because I already have a perfect partner who isn't, and I wouldn't want it any way different =)
