This is supposed to be an older post. But time has been a delaying factor. My old buddy during my uni times invited us for her daughter's Aqiqah. I thought we wouldn't able to make it because Ms L had some other plans. But we managed to squeeze our time and this is considered as my first experience attending such event. Interesting i might say!

As i reached her neighborhood, the sound of kompang breaks the silence and the beautiful marhaban sang by the ladies. The mommy will carry the baby around and stop at each guest to allow them to cut some of the baby's hair(bercukur) whilst the music of marhaban is being sung. (i wish that there's not so much guest else the baby will gone bald!) And did i mention the food was just too good to resist??

Here are some of the photos captured. The baby is just as beautiful as the mommy. Look at her beauiful eyes! I was mesmerised by it.

my lil angels.

I wish i have more cousins about my age. But the age difference is a bit of gap. But this new generation in my family is considered lucky as they have a bunch of cousins about the same age to play with. And the house will be so noisy when we have family events. But its fun to have kids in the house to brighten up and add some colors to seize the day! Here are some shots i took during our get together last weekend.

Siapa kata shoot budak-budak senang? Especially when they are super duper hyperactive! But i didn't say it was not fun! I tried to utilize the ambience light by not firing the flash. And its haaaaard when the kids are running and jumping. When one sits still, the other one will tease the other one and the whole bunch will laugh. SO, when its impossible to freeze them, just join them! Look at these photo here and you know what i mean.

And those are ica and alia. Those cuties are my cousin's daughter. Aren't they lovely? Ica just looove the camera and she knows how to pose in front of the lense. Alia is the quiet one and will never smile infront of the camera. But that look makes her 'alia'. When i see her, i will imagine looking at a small comot white kitten!finally...... manage to position them nicely together..voila!!
