girls and malay costumes

i went to geylang bazaar yesterday with my sis. during our trip from bt panjang to geylang, we were disucssing, or should i say complaining about first day of raya of the past years, the colour combination of colours for the living room and what to wear for first day of raya.

basically first day of raya, my family will not go anywhere except the mosque of course. because we have our grandma, that's why all families will visit our house.
that means we gotta need food! alot of it!
10 whole chickens! about 4 kilos of prawns! woo! and on the table, not only we have kuih-muih, we also have pistachio nuts and even kek lapis, kek raisin... wow!
but this year, everything will have to cut down! anyway the food thingy, still under discussion. of course at the end of the day, nenek has to involve in this discussion cos she ain't gonna like the cutting down of food. biasalah, tak mau air muka jatuh. tak mau orang fikir yg kita pelokek. ni lah orang jawa.

i went to joo chiat complex and i saw my baju kurung of last 2 years, with a price of $58! its a normal telok belange, plain dull pink colour, with no patterns. last 2 years i bought it for $25. what the hell!
i've heard people say that, some old2 baju kurung they still charge high price especially during the fasting month. very dangerous. like what i blogged last fasting month, why buy an expensive baju kurung when you can buy a nice topshop tee, or even a nice pair of jeans from john little! cos you ain't gonna wear your baju kurung most of the time except when you go out with your friends for jalan raya.
for girls, no choice. they have to look good. cos they are the centre of attraction during hari raya. yeah :D]
baju kurung or kebaya, the girls surely look good in whatever malay costumes they wear regardless of patterns and colours and laces and all those tiny bits of beads and other small and shiny stuffs on their suits. fat girls will look slim in kebaya, slutty faced girls will look innocent malay girl from kampung java if they wear baju kurung. oh yeah! hehhe.
