SQUEAL!!!!

I own a kebaya!!! \(^o^)/\(^o^)/\(^o^)/

Yes! Is a very nice dark purple/pink kind of colour, and is tailored just for me!!! \(^o^)/ I like it very much... *Rabu rabu*

Well, sometime ago, Mum and I decided to make a trip up to Malacca for a day or two. So on Tuesday, we finally went. Actually quite fun to just go up Malaysia, stay a night and come back the next day. We kind of went a bit mad, walked to all the museums, even when some of them threatened to close with us inside. I must say the old Peranakan house was very interesting though. Oh and it was a very sinful trip as well... Tuesday we had Melaka cendol... TWICE. Once from a family stall and later that night in the hotel, after dinner. *phhooo* It was very good. And very filling. The trick is the gula melaka I think. It was FRESH. Sticky too. Yum. Wednesday morning was spent being driven around by a self-appointed tour guide (we only wanted a taxi to the Portugese settlement. The cab driver had other ideas..) to a bakery and a honey farm. Which was actually very good, I'll admit. The bakery's special sambal tau sah piah and sambal mooncake was very tasty (actually just the hebi hiam lah... no chili involved). *slurp* All-in-all, it was a very sinful 2-day, 1-night in Melaka. *burp*

During our little walkaround trying to find all things peranakan, we found this baju maker and oooooooh... TOTALLY fell in love with his embroidery. All hand-embroidered patterns!! Gah! It was breathtaking. So of course, being suckers for peranakan baju, my mum and I promptly bought a pattern each (comes with free batik each ok! Good deal ah!) and walked down to the tailor next door.

And today, my mum went back up to collect the baju while I attended Jemalelinh's niece's christening (SHE'S SO CUTE!). WAH HA!!

I love my new kebaya!!!!
