13 Reasons Why I Love Wearing a Baju Kurung

1. Sebab aku perempuan Melayu terakhir.
2. Sebab ayah aku pun galakkan aku pakai baju kurung (sebab dulu aku kerja ngan audit firm di mana 90% auditors adalah berbangsa Cina, so wearing baju kurung, menurut ayah aku, “Nampak macam orang Melayu sikit”)
3. Two words : Yasmin Ahmad
4. dan watak2 dari filem beliau yang suka pakai baju kurung! [read : Orked] (a)
5. Sebab aku masih tak reti pakai blaus/ slack dan skirt. Pathetic, I know.
6. Sebab aku boleh borong kain banyak2 time sale kat Nagoya dan hantar balik kampung (b), dan voila! aku dah ada 4 atau 5 pasang baju yang boleh dipakai untuk ke pejabat.
7. Sebab aku boleh jalan dengan selesa, provided baju tu dibuat mengikut spesifikasi yang aku nak (mesti besar, yo!)
8. Sebab aku takyah susah2 nak meng’control’ perut atau bimbang tentang spare2 tyre yang kelihatan kalau pakai kebaya and whatnot. (c)
9. The most comfy attire you can wear!
10. Dan cukup syarat menutup aurat, provided you wear your tudung properly la. (covering your, ahem, assets, coz it really piss me off if guys talk to my boobies (d), like, honey, my eyes are up *here*)
11. Sebab certain makcik2 akan treat you differently if you wear a baju kurung and tudung (e)
12. Sebab aku boleh berkongsi pakai dengan emak atau adik2 aku, walaupun kekadang kainnya agak senteng sebab aku terlebih tinggi. :P… dan
13. Sebab cantik!, whether kau pakai sutera RM250 sepasang atau kain biasa2 borong kat Tangkak RM50 untuk 3 pasang, kau akan kelihatan cantik! (my personal opinion la)

(a) Aku paling suka baju kurung kain cotton, dengan corak bunga kecik2. Selesa gila! Dan sempoi dalam sopan!

(b) Kalau tempah kat kampung aku, masih lagi RM28 sepasang (dan makcik tu akan siapkan dalam masa tak sampai seminggu, sebab aku paymaster yang bagus :P), berbanding ngan kat KL ni, yang dekat nak RM60 sepasang! Gila!

(c) I’ve sworn off kebaya’s since the day I got pregnant with Ikmal.

(d) Not like they’re huge or anything, but y’know, I hate to see that look on their faces.

(e) Yang ni memang pengalaman aku la, balik kampung hubby di pantai timur. First of all, (IMHO la), orang kat sana akan tengok kau lain macam kalau kau pakai jeans dan t-shirt (apatah lagi kalau kau pakai T-shirt rock and whatnot!). So, in order to blend in, pakai la baju kurung. Tak rugi apa pun. Dan makcik2 yang dulunya tengok kau lain macam, mungkin akan strike a conversation with you (ini pengalaman aku la).

Name:
Location: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

I'm a number cruncher, married and a mother to 2 handsome young boys ~ Ikmal & Nabil. Also a self-confessed movie freak, a walking dictionary of useless facts and I just love swapping postcards. I love loud music, black t-shirts, good books and hot caramel macchiato. I hate hypocrisy, the colour pink, rude people, busy-bodies and those with 'holier than thou' attitude. :) I blog 'coz I hate talking. In real life, I'm this quiet person, often immersed in my own virtual world of obsessions, work and whatnot. Comments, suggestions, brickbats (even virtual cupcakes!) are loved, as long as you use the proper channels a.k.a the comments thingy or my e-mail ~ zackzip [at] hotmail [dot] com.
