YMedia (English): August 2009

Memo -Written by Yeptirani-

I'm very sorry for having bad English in this blog. Honestly, I'm not an "English-for-mother-language" person. Yeah, I don't speak English at home. And I'm still learning the English.

But, this blog is my way to learn and practice English. One of my ways. That's why, I still keep maintaining this blog although just a few one who stopped by my blog.

Maybe you will found so many strange words in this blog. That's because I don't speak the language. I'm still learning, and trying to practice my English.

I will be very grateful if you don't mind correcting my English via "comment" or via email when you find the strange words in this blog. In order for me and my blog can grow better.
Thank you so much for your attention.

Baralek, The Wedding Ceremony in Minang Tradition

After succeed holding the Basanding Ceremony (Wedding Ceremony in Banjar Tradition), we held the wedding ceremony in Minang Tradition which called by Baralek.

Baralek, literally means 'a party/ceremony', like Basanding (sitting together), Baralek is held as a graceful because one of the kid in the family had married.

Usually, Baralek was held as a big party and held in the hall, it used to called by Baralek Gadang (Baralek=party, Gadang=big). But, since we held baralek as not big party, so we called it Baralek, with no 'gadang' (^_^)

The Baralek that we held, was held by Agam style.
