Northbound

I am Northbound today. My cousin is getting married tomorrow. Well he is married today. His akad nikah is today, and the wedding kenduri on the wife side. Tomorrow will be on his side. I drove with my parents. My kids are just too tired to make the journey as we will be heading back tomorrow.

Malay wedding can be rather tedious. There are minimum 3 ceremonies. The akad nokah, when the groom says I do. Then the wedding ceremony on the wife side followed later, usually on a separate day on the husband side. To safe cost, we tend to have the akad nikah and brides' wedding on the same day. For me, we held a reception as well at a hotel, inviting friends and extended family. The akad nikah tends to be for the immediate family and the ceremony temded to be more intimate.

We plan to travel home tomorrow after the wedding as Monday will be the MMed exams.

Housekeeping ... Mousekeeping

Been surfing for half an hour or so in bed this morning before getting up ... trust me, there is nothing better than surfing in bed. I read through the number of hits I am getting for the last week. There were not bad considering how new I am with this client. Getting close to 200 hits per day. Many of the referrals seems to be from fellow bloggers. I spotted a pattern here, the best was to get hits is if you have a direct link from your fellow's page. What I need to do next is to set up a quick link section on my page. But first thing's first, need to figure out how it works on my system. A quicklink staring at them right on the blog page works better I think than having to be transferred to a new page full of link.

So, task for today, maybe tonight after I reach Penang would be to sort out a quicklink section on my page. I have also figured out that I can post an entry straight in through email via my E71. Maybe that's what I will try on the road. So watch this space

Oh dear, major change in plan. Since both Irfan and Idlan haave only just recovered from flu, we decided to just head out to Ipoh tomorrow. It will be a shorted journey plus less of a hassle driving against rather than with the traffic
