The function started early coz we had to travel to neighboring country, Limbang for the engagement. My brother's fiance is a Malaysian, btw. By 10.30am, with 10 cars we made a move. With the help of the Limau Manis police (who lead our cars), we had a very smooth ride all the way to the Brunei's immigration post. Everything went smoothly and we managed settled everything by noon. By the time we came home, I was drop dead tired, exhausted, throbbing headache all roll into 1.
From 200+ photos, I only managed to post some here. More pictures I would be uploading in my facebook account.

hantaran (in malay)is kindda like 'sending'.
In our tradition, for engagement, the male has to prepare buka mulut (proposal) and bertunang (engagement). both of them consists of money and a ring. the money, it depends on how much the girl's family asking for.
during the wedding itself, 'hantaran' is also given, depending on how many trays both parties agreed on. 'Hantaran' consists of stuffs - perfumes, towels, clothes, watch, handbags, shoes, hp, laptop...all those stuffs.
i hope you get what i mean...hehe. but if not, feel free to ask ;)
