We welcome baby Rina, the latest addition to our clan. That makes it the fourth addition to the third generation of AWA family. As is always with the Islamic (& Malay?) tradition, we had her kenduri akikah and cukur jambul.
This time around, the event was quite a grand event compared to the previous akikahs. With pink being the theme colour, everything was decorated in shades of pink. Bunga telur, door gifts for the marhaban group and even the specially decorated cradle for the acara "mendodoi". That was the first time I saw the event so I cannot explain its origins or whether its a cultural or a religious thing. I have decided to put up lots of photos of the event because it would explain the event much better than my attempt at explaining it.
