wish i had more time..

argh!!!! forgive me for complaining at the start of my message.I need to destress and spare me from heavy loads of sch work and projects!! My little brain up there is bursting anytime! How i wish i am given 48 hours a day instead nature gave me half of it..sad..=(. Ok..this is quite a long entry and i have lots to share eversince last year and i kept it with me till today.
Lets start with my love for visual arts.Well,it maybe boring for some people or maybe i'm a boring person but to me, it speaks alot and more than what we perceived to be.







This is my favourite exhibit taken at Esplanade's underpass. Its an introduction of malay culture and beliefs during the 60s. A combination of melodrama, comedy and period shows in overly exxagerated form of expressions. Sometimes or many times i will stand and watched how the chinese actor try to cope with the language till he gets it right. 'Aku tak tau melayu..'i'm thankful they have subtitles. =p

Talk abt culture, i love Peranankan culture (guessed i've mentioned be4).As promised, the pics of my kebaya are up. This is a vintage piece abt close to 50yrs old and after the touch up..it looks perfect! I'm unable to take of pic of myself wearing it because 1stly i'm not photogenic and 2ndly its hard to take a snap of myself in a 'perfect' angle.


*taken with flash. Look at those lovely embroidery, so 3D like...i wonder how it was made, by hand or machine? (I forgot to ask) It was love at first sight. Though the price is steep..i cant resist its beauty. =x I'm very curious to know who is the owner, well the shop assistant said it belonged to a young lady (dont know dead or alive) According to the Peranankan culture, it is considered good fortune to wear clothes of the older generation. Hmmm...anyway just wear it lah! haha..


*without flash


*matching batik

Due the aged condition of my kebaya,its prefered to get a lightweight kerongsang (the 3 pin brooch) so as not to stress out the delicate fabric.After much selection, this is the lightest. Any lighter ones would prolly be those vintage pieces which are not for sale unless i offer it at more than $200. *no money* Anyway,i'm happy with this one. =)

Will update myself wearing my kebaya at fara's wedding in March.Yupz..i long for that day~ heehz

***UPDATES at Makanguru!! More food and high quality images uploaded..take a peek!
