My Purple World

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends

This week have dreadfully slow.

Well, it gets tougher and tougher to start focus in the class as at the same time we have so many daily deadlines of the assignments. Well, whatever it is, I sincerely hope I have the energy to finish them all.

Meanwhile, Jakarta is sadly flooded.

Again.

Heavy rain came since the night before and constantly pouring in almost every part of Jakarta. The flood is coming back them.

If at the beginning of the year my area was safe from the flood, this time it's different.

My house is totally safe but the surrounding areas are not. As I need to get to my class on time (yup, no excuses with the flood unless we are directly affected), we took the motorcycle to go to the Centre of Education and Training on the other side of the city. I saw it myself how the flood was devastating.

WW: Happy Wedding Pipit and Agus

Happy wedding, Pipit and Agus

Pipit and Agus, the bride and the groom

Last weekend, we celebrated the wonderful wedding of Pipit, my hubby's youngest sister, and Agus. We went back to Lampung and had a wonderful reunion with our big family and celebrating the unity of two beautiful families. I love it! It's been quite sometimes we didn't have family wedding and everyone got so excited.

Somehow, the wedding was dominated by purple and white, my favorite colors. The seserahan or mahar or the dowry, was also decorated in purple.

I just love them all!

Happy wedding..

My hubby and I took the chance to take some pictures as well.

It was really a wonderful day!

My hubby and I ...

Akad nikah, or the signing of the marriage contract, was conducted solemnly.

Akad Nikah itself is the process when the physical marriage contract is signed, and it obviously includes and involves the bride and the groom, their parents or wali (legitimate guardian), designated witnesses, and penghulu or an officiant. During this ceremony, the officiant, usually represented by an Imam and other community leader, delivered a valuable message and recites parts of the Quran to remind us the beauty of marriage and how best to live together. Once this holy ritual was concluded, we had sungkeman, a tradition where bride and groom asked for forgiveness and approval from parents, the elderlies, brothers and sisters. It was usually filled with joyful tears and happiness. Very touchy.

cheers...the bride and the sisters

The reception or walimah was conducted right after akad nikah. For this, Pipit the bride and Agus the groom wore traditional Lampungnese costumes, complete with Siger, - the headdress, kebaya and golden bebe or chest cover, Tapis - the hand-woven traditional fabrics adorned with gold threads (here she wore the Songket) and accessories like necklaces (yes, she wore many of them :)), bracelets, rings and even keris or traditional dagger for the groom. They look royal indeed! I love Lampungnese wedding.

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls, and Friends

Another week and I had a blast last weekend joining an outbound program with our Senior Diplomatic Training class, Sesparlu Batch 64.

clear blue sky and plush paddy field welcomed us at Purwakarta

When I said senior, most of us are indeed more than 40 years old and have been posted abroad twice. It also means that we have worked at least around 15 years in the ministries. In my case it’s 18 years. That's quite some period.

So we had an outbound activities, aiming at getting to know one another and building our team work. We had it in Purwakarta, West Java, and it was fun indeed. We had all those silly yet competitive games, challenges and group tasks. then we had bonfire as well as archeries plus archeries battle. Long story short, we had a blast.
