Last 2 week ends, on the 10th of August, we held a traditional malay ceremony to welcome new born babies - Bercukur Jambul where you cut the hair of the baby to clean the scalp and allow new hair to grow and Berendoi which is like how sleeping beauty got to meet all her fairy god mother and receive all the well wishes....
I've never heard of Berendoi ceremony till that day, so I did a bit of research...so here we go...
Adat berendoi atau buai bayi ini dipersembahkan sebagai tanda keriangan atau kesyukuran menyambut kelahiran cahaya mata. Lagu-lagu Berendoi atau Dendang Siti Fatimah membawa seni kata yang memuji junjungan Nabi Muhammad s.a.w, menceritakan perihal susah payah ibu mengandung dan melahirkan anak dan juga nasihat-nasihat kepada kanak-kanak. Ada juga seni kata yang dicipta oleh kumpulan ini disesuaikan dengan keadaan semasa. Antara lagu yang dibawa dalam majlis berendoi ialah Tuhan Rabbul'alamin, Anak di dalam Buaian, Ayuhai Anak Cahaya Mata, Kebesaran Allah, dan Aduhai Anak Jangan Durhaka. Berikut ialah lagu Anak di dalam Buaian:
Ayuhai anak di dalam buaian,
Pejamkan mata jangan tangiskan,
Lagu Berendoi kami dendangkan,
Di dalam majlis tanda kesyukuran.
Lamalah sudah kami menanti,
Namun engkau tak kunjung tiba,
Dengan takdir ilahi rabbi,
Kini engkau sudah menjelma.

It’s a vintage looking replica watches with Blue tooth wireless technology. So if your phone rings it shows up on the watch as to who is calling and it buzzes your rolex replica, it also comes with a vibrate alert and a text alert will appear when you receive SMS messages as well. Now the Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Chronograph Stainless replica watches is actually a watch I have featured before because of what kind of a hublot replica sale it is - Its Eco-friendly and quite innovative if you ask me.
