Pantang

I heard a bad news from my mother in law about the wedding day of my husband's young cousin which get marry after a month of my wedding day.. Their parent house got break-in by thief and loss rm3,000 something.. All is in CASH money angpao the bride and groom collect at morning tea season.. Me and my husband not able to attend for tea season, wedding dinner as well as pre-wedding night also could not show up.. You know why? Some old people still "Pantang" because affraid that newly married couple before pass 1 or 3 month of other couple marry day might bring bad luck to them..

Frankly, i don't know its true about it or not? but then i believe marriage life is depending on the couple communication, understanding, work out together when they meet any problem and of course TRUST each other is very important too.. There is numberous of people still believing in those "Pantang" rule set from our nenek moyang time.. Anyway, when goes to me and my husband we are not that old-thinking people who need to follow all this ridiculous rule.. I can't predict people who still "pantang" but then here i wanted to tell all the people in the world, things happen or having a bad luck, do not blaming whoever or things around you.. We should working hard to improve it and not keep blaming to make you feel better..

Back to the case, so its was happen at night after they all left to the Armada hotel which they held their wedding dinner.. That night is raining quite heavy, and so coincidence next house neighbour whole family is go on a vacation already.. The house is left empty, and that thief we suspect is a bangladesh young guy (some of the relative spoted that guy is hiding at the corner of the house).. The thief waited all the people are gone out to have dinner then he started to break-in to the house.. Under the raining time, he easily knock damage the roof top and get inside the house without anybody notice or hear the break-in.. The thief only manage take the angpao worth rm3,000 something in cash and some old jewerly belong to old people.. Luckily most of the Jewerly and gold are take out with them.. And others like handphone, a cheque, other house valuable thing he did not take away with him.. I wonder why he dun want take the handphone as well? I guess he is just a first timer doing this..

The house is messy, and the damage roof top make the floor wet and dirty.. What a happy day become unlucky day.. How unlucky isn't it?



Topic about "Pantang"
I have once experience is goes like this.. Last year the married couple know me and my husband.. On their pre-wedding night, invite all of us go to the groom's house have dinner.. Three of us thats was me, my husband and a best friend go together and we were late.. Once we enter in groom house, one of the gang shouted, 3 born in GOAT year is arrive.. Don't know what the hell is that mean, we dun want to care also.. Just get something to eat and look around of groom new house..

The foods was prepare very normal like we have fried mee hun, fried rice, vegetable, fried hotdog, fried nuggets, sponge cake, fruits, curry chicken and some drinho drinks.. All prepare by the groom's sister which is still single.. I can't believe i get shouted by his sis "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING IN THIS HOUSE", its repeatly for 2 to 3 time if not mistaken.. I know she was so nervous, affraid that goat people will bring this marriage bad luck but no need treaten me like that gua.. I just look so innocent and answer her, i seriously didn't touch anything.. After a while, i wanted to go toilet but i'm scared its not a good sign.. I go ask her weather i can go toilet or not in a funny way.. I know she is very worried and believe in pantang, but mind the person can be politely to tell the innocent one who dunno about this rule..

One funny question was asked by the groom

Groom : why you born at 1979 as a Goat year? Born other year can not meh.. if not you can be my hengtai on my wedding day loh..

Husband :Why dun you ask my mother? @$#$%&^^*
