Kebaya Nyonya @ Baju Draw

How do you call this kind of baju? Normally in West Malaysia, they call it Kebaya Nyonya I guess. Because when I search for this type of baju at Jalan TAR, I will asked, "Kak, ada jual Kebaya Nyonya tak?".

But, here in my hometown we use to call it Baju Draw. Why Baju Draw? Because they will draw the design on a white paper before they do it on the material (kain kasa rubia). And it's very hard to find the person who still do this (in a traditional way).

Last year my mom and myself went to Dalat (4 hours driving from Bintulu), semata-mata nak pergi tempah Baju Draw. hee..hee..hee.. Actually the tailor staying in the same kampung with my friend. My friend is the one who introduce the tailor to us, otherwise the tailor won't accept it sebabnya nak tempah baju tu takes time nak siap and mahal. Paling tak lama pun 3 months. Besides, the tailor takut once baju dah siap orang tak nak bayar sebab mahal.

Our first tempahan actually dah siap last year, I wore it during my civil wedding. And my mom wore her Baju Draw during my wedding reception. Lepas tu, we tempah another one sebabnya baju itu tersangatlah halus buatan tangannya compare with the one that I bough in Jalan TAR. Walaupun mahal, but i'm satisfied.

And yesterday, I received my Baju Draw. Happy banget tau. Suppose to one for my mom (light green) and one for myself (dark green). Tapi, my mom so frustrated sebab when she tried the baju it didn't fit her, sungguh longgar. Maybe the tailor terambik my size. So, my mom bengganglah sebab baju tu tak muat. Tapi aku yang untung sebab it fits me. Yey!!!!

And my mom plan to tempah another new one sebab she still have extra kain kasa rubia tu.

My Baby Suria

I love my baby!!!

However, seldom I drive my baby because my mom use it to work everyday. And only today I able to drive my baby to work because my brother attending a course and he's not going to use my mom's car.

Since i'm driving, I decided to sent it to car wash in the afternoon.

Likes what Damian always says, Waceh!!!!!! What a shining baby I have here!!!!!!!!

When my colleagues masuk office, they said, "Agnes, your car so shining lah, so clean". Even both of them inform lagi tu yang dia org jeling2 lagi kat cermin nak tengok dalam kereta bersih ke tidak) Hee..hee..hee....

But then, bila dah bersih2 macam ni malas pulak nak drive kan???

Sudah sampai

Yeay!!!!!

In my previous entry, I did mentioned that the items I ordered from US has been delivered to my cousin address kan. Well, I received the sling bags this morning. la..laa..laa..laa..

Why I received it too soon? Because my cousin terserempak with my colleague yang pergi audit to her office. When Wawa found out that Ms. Iz from our office,Wawa asked her boleh ke tidak to kirim my things.

And this morning, Ms. Iz bagi the parcel to me. Even Auntie Wawa kirimkan sekali coklat Daim for his BF di Bintulu.

Thanks to Ms. Su (US), she even rap my sling bag nicely. Tengoklah still berbungkus lagi tu.

Inspiration

Quite seldom I received email regarding this guy. He used to give motivation to young people especially to students. His words really inspire me a lot. And I almost cry when at the end he said "Are You Going Finish Strong?". I'm touched and I feel very "small" compared to him.

Entry in Iban
