    1. hello again, babe! from what i know, guy give girl sireh junjung and girl give guy sireh dara - i might be wrong, though, there seems to be some kind of confusion with this.

      bunga pahar is something else - my husband and i opted for no bunga pahar because we don't see its significance.
