Attended a friend's bedak mandi (pre-wedding ceremony which involves a blessing by close family elders and a cleansing body-scrub) ceremony this afternoon and it brought back memories of my own bedak mandi all those years ago. What fun, a free body scrub performed by several family members, watched by even more family members! More pics here .

ReplyDeletebro, you have gone a step ahead of us. Well done, I love watching the slide show plus the music is cool
ReplyDeletelina: tks sis, glad you like it. I promised to give those guys a copy of their pics and havent delivered! Esok pagi lah heheh
ReplyDeletehussini: sometimes the solution is right under our noses heheh.. look forward to seeing your masterpiece bro!
zadm: tks bro, I think this is the natural progression when you have too many pics to display on so little screen space... have to think outside the kotak ;)
