Happy Birthday Nur Damia Darwisyah

A neighbour's only child turned one today.  A celebration it was but not with the normal cone caps and birthday chorus.  For one it started with a doa selamat led by the neighbourhood surau imam followed by a nasi minyak feast and the dig into pulut kuning.  There was also a continous stream of guests near and afar.  It turned out to be quite a neighbourhood function.

With the reception tents erected, one could easily

mistake the occasion as an 'on-the road' wedding reception! 

The door gift for the guests would easily beat 

the ones offered at most wedding receptions.

What I love most is the garden setting.  The mom should be congratulated for her creativity and the opah for maintaining such a beatiful garden.

Opah's blooming garden.  A welcome sight indeed.

Happy birthday Nur Damia Darwisyah Zulkifli. 

Sorry no pics of the birthday girl.  She tired out and was fast asleep when we came.
