Another Indian friend, Jess joined their group shooting

Around 2pm, Akad Nikah was started.I observed Akad Nikah done by the Allifah's father in the presence of religious officials.

Akad Nikah started with the groom sitting on the round mattress facing the religious officer.They hold their hand in the form of handshake. The religious officer say the words to the groom and the groom will reply

Then, bridegroom and bride received the briefing given by the religious officer about the rights and responsibilities as a married couple from the Islamic perspective.

Next, the groom did Muslim "Solah Syukur", prayer as appreciate Allah on the successful Nikah proceedings and seek guidance on his new status as a husband

The groom signed the marriage contract and agree to provide bridegroom "Mas Kahwin" in the form of money and goods.

Mas Kahwin

Congratulations!!!

 we were invited to have our late lunch at the front house of Bridegroom

JoJo and me received Egg Flower (Bunga Telur)

At last, sent JoJo's cheerful photo to everyone !

I'm quite impressed with JoJo's determination in attending her friend's wedding although consumed much of her savings. She was sincere in giving the blessing for her 4 years engineering friend regardless of different of races, culture and background.

When the Akad Nikah proceeding was done, she told me her heart was fulled, tears of joy flowed. She was in touch with Allifah's wedding. I looked at JoJo in amusement as the tears rolling down her cheeks and I wondered where my rational JoJo was gone.

For me, it was not an emotional wedding. I'm just tagged along JoJo in participating the wedding. I wished to spend more time with JoJo within the few days she stayed in Miri. 

Will I cry if that's JoJo's wedding? 

My Secret Visitor, JoJo

Update on **1 May 2014**

JoJo came to Miri during the Malaysia Labour Day. I'm very glad when she announced she will visit me in May 2014 while attending her friend's wedding at the same time.  

1 year working alone in Miri, never thought that any family members and relatives will step into Miri. 

JoJo, you're my first guest.~~~I was anxious about your arrival on 1 May 2014. I even spring cleaned the house and room to welcome you. Also, I worried her lunch and dinner in my hostel when I'm working. The lunch idea "tapau" for her was a lot and I couldn't wait go home and put them into action. I never had such kind of feeling when none of family members in Miri. I realized the reason of Tay Pa Pa settled our 5 daughters' breakfast before he left for work. Because of "love"Tay Pa Pa never complained his tiredness in managing our breakfast. 

Anyway, your existence make me rejoice and brighten my life in Miri temporarily.

 Around 8.45am, JoJo reached my hostel. She told me the taxi fare from the airport to Pelita had increased.In fact, she took the luxury taxi wrongly that charges RM 38

 As my request, she managed to shoot a photo under Pelita signboard

I said " 1 more, JoJo"

 Brought her to 2020 cafe for brunch. It gained its popularity in selling dim sum among Mirians

I demanded JoJo to walk around Hot Cross Buns in order to learn the various types of breads and cakes

We're in Boulevard Shopping Complex.JoJo said Boulevard Shopping Complex almost same with Karamunsing Complex in KK

 After 2 1/2 hours in Boulevard Shopping Complex, we decided to quench my thirsty in Share Tea. In fact, I let JoJo exposed to the Miri "He Cha" (喝茶）culture

I'm happy with the chatting environment. We seemed so relax and really had the good time in Sharetea
