Sometimes late at night, while nursing Miki I looked out the window and wondered why the baby’s poop have to stink so much I thought of Chico. Is he doing well up there? Perhaps we should send him a buddy…
So on the 1st March 2008, we fulfilled the deed of akikah for our baby, praising Allah swt for the perfect little boy that has completed our lives. Miki was 45 days old and I was practically done with my confinement. And because little Prince Miki is so precious I thought maybe we should have a berendoi ceremony for him too! Both the kenduri akikah and berendoi ceremony was done at my mother’s house in Penang and everything was done in such beautiful momentous kampung style.
We bought Coco the Bull at Sg Bakap and he was transported by lorry to the island. Coco was slaughtered at my mother’s own backyard the day before the ceremony. Her neighbors and friends worked hands in hands in preparing for the sumptuous feast, bergotong-royong just like those days in kampungs. We had Azman’s fave sup tulang and for the luncheon Coco was turned into delicious beef curry and daging masak hitam. The latter was cooked specially by my mother in law. Other than that, on the menu, we had kerabu perut & pucuk paku, sambal sotong, fried fish and fruits.
Woundn’t it be cute if Miki could wear a baju melayu for his berendoi? I really dont think an OshKosh jumpsuit would be appropriate.hehe.So we searched high and low for a pair of tiny baju melayu fit for newborns. No tailor wanted to make one so small and at last his grandparents managed to get him a pair all the way from Kedah. Though it was still quite big for him and the color didn’t really go with the swing, bunga telur or door gifts! Still our little boy was the handsome prince of the day! Yeah! By the way my kebaya didn’t match the golden yellow theme color either! :p
For those who didn’t know, berendoi is one of those Malay traditional ceremonies to celebrate newborns, popular in the northern states of Malaysia. The celebrated baby will be placed in a swing and will be lullabied by a marhaban group of elderly. Berendoi is a traditional custom that is almost forgotten, which makes it more a reason why I want one for Miki. The group arrived at 2pm, first they recited the marhaban before calling upon Miki to be placed in the decorated swing for the berendoi song/poem.Our baby never got on a swing before and I was rather worrying if he would cry, but such a sport Miki was, he slept soundly the whole time.
Thank you to all our family ands friends who came for the luncheon, especially those from all the way in KL. Azman and I are very much honored with your presence as much as we are pleased to have another Malay tradition preserved. As for Coco, happy grazing the green green grass in heaven. And be nice to Chico!

kenapa namakan lembu yang hendak di akikahkan…
hukumnya anda perlu semak dengan jabatan ugama….
adakah akikah tersebut sah????
jabatan agama takde kuar hukum kot utk org yg merapu tulih blog ni menamakan lembu lembu itu kerana hendak menceriakan misi penulisan. lembu itu adalah sangat konpius jika dinamakan A, B, ataupun C. lagi mengharukan jika lembu itu nama Kepeh-Kepeh. kalau letak nama LV atau Guess kene bayar royalti kot sbb mungkin disaman kerana menciplak nama jenama antarabangsa. lain le kalau penulis blog ni bela lembu tu sebagai haiwan kesayangan….
Pak japaq ada sekor lembu, dia sgt sayang lembu itu..namanye BAN BAN BONG..!!..tapi en. azizi boleh register nama tu, takde dalam surat beranak lagii…Uuu..uUUu..kepeh kepeh =P
azizi,
apa apa saja la bro. Islam tu bukan jabatan agama punya.
sah ke tak sah tu..biar Allah swt yg tentukan.
tak payah la risau sgt pasal akikah ni sah ke tak.
yg penting..niat nak sedekah tu tak terpesong.
setakat nak tanya ustaz cabuk kat jabatan agama..baik tak payah la…
isu ratu cantik pun tak leh setel…
lagi baik aku tanya lebai Google je..lagi banyak hukum hakam dan hadis2 dia boleh bagitau..hahaha..
Azizi,
Sebenarnya nama lembu itu bukan Coco, tetapi saya panggilnya Coco Ku Sayang!
Syarat wajib qorban mengatakan:-
1) Haiwan yg boleh dikorban perlu dari kategori al-an’am iaitu unta, lembu (termasuk kerbau), kambing dan biri-biri sama ada jantan atau betina.
2) Bagi Lembu/kerbau/kambing; perlu berusia 2 tahun masuk ke 3 tahun.
Tidak dinyatakan lembu yang diberi nama, samada Coco, Kepeh hatta Azizi sekalipun haram dikorbankan. Maka janganlah kita sesama manusia mengharamkan perkara2 yg tidak nyata. Diharap adik Azizi faham dengan penerangan ini.
