Baju Melayu

Right, I reaaally haven't been blogging all that much lately. But that's easily rectified.

Raya season has been a bit special this year. I've been staying at the bf's place for quite an extended period this time. Now and then I'd fast and Sahur with the family for the past month. Fasting isn't too hard for a few days, but i think it was wearing me down eventually so I stopped.

We shopped for sets of baju Melayu for the boys in the family including myself. Took quite a doing as the boys were extremely fussy about how they looked in their new threads. I had a chance to visit shopping malls that are popular with Malay folk like Mydin, but in the end found my clothes in Jaya Jusco on the very last day before Hari Raya itself, so they were going for 50% off. Not too shabby.

What were the clothes for? A photo shoot with the whole family. We all posed together many many many times for photographs of the whole family in Shane's house. I have to say the photos turned out pretty well.

So what was I wearing? A reddish brown baju melayu with pants, a black songket with gold embroidery, and a songkok. The songkok was a bit out of place though (isn't it a Muslim thing?) as it made my forehead too prominent. >.<
