Dalila Yasmin

Newly proud parents Yusra and Dahlia welcomed their little girl - Dalila Yasmin with a 'Mandi Berlawat' ceremony for close families and friends.

'Mandi Berlawat' is similar to a 'baby shower' ...yet there's no shower in both ceremonies hehe.

Though it is not obligatory, 'Mandi Berlawat' which is also known as 'Papat Jambul' is a traditional Malay customs that is still being carried out in this modern days. Old folks say it is to welcome the presence of newborns ..hmmm
