junaidah's valekaape

my younger brother and his wife are expecting their first baby anytime soon. we are so happy for them. i must say that this baby is the most looked forward baby in both the families since the couple has been trying to have a baby for sometime....

all praise to Allah and i am proud of the couple who must have endured pain and frustration in the process. i am also proud of both the parents and siblings who never stopped praying for the blessings.

here are some pics of the my sister in law's valekaape ceremony. it is like a baby shower but in my culture, it is more of a doa selamat. there is a recital of doa, feeding of sweet rice and putting on bangles to the mother...
