itsy bitsy not so teeny but ultra comfy BURQINI!!

it's going to be another long weekend soon. can't wait!!

and out of the blue, hubby decided on monday that we should go somewhere. and after a string of ding-dong emails (yes, we communicate more at the office than we would at home due to time constraint) we decided for a short weekend break to pangkor island.

you see, last i went to pangkor was many many years ago. and by that i mean when i was 12 years old. muahahaha!

so you could say that i am pretty excited. :D

and of course, i've had all my outfits planned (thank god for thepoplook.com) but one question remains, what kind of swimming attire should i opt for? I mean, back in january when i went to penang, i decided to don the diving suit as i feel at that time that it was pretty decent. correction, it is not decent at all! it clings to your body and i swear that even wearing a swimming cap to cover the head doensn't help much. i felt really bad and very uncomfortable cause people were looking (okay, maybe i was being conscious, orang bukan kenal aku pun) kah kah kah! but the point is, kalau dah pakai tudung, cubala sedaya upaya tuk cari baju mandi yang menepati piawaian...

so for the upcoming pangkor trip, i have decided to wear this:

it's the burqini baby!!!

A burqini (or burkini) swimsuit is a type of swimsuit for women designed by Lebanese Australian Aheda Zanetti under the company name Ahiida.

The suit covers the whole body except the face, the hands and the feet (enough to preserve Muslim modesty), whilst being light enough to enable swimming. It was described as the perfect solution for conservative Muslim women who want to swim but are uncomfortable with revealing bathing suits.

It looks rather like a full-length wetsuit with built-in hood, but somewhat looser and made of swimsuit material instead of rubber.^[1]

I bought the burqini from a local muslimah online store and received the package yesterday. as it was sent to the office, i of course didn't get to put it on till much much later (apa, kau giler nak suruh aku try kat office? ada yang kena buat swimming demo karang).  muahahahaha!

and you know what? i'm glad that someone as thoughtful and concerned as Aheda Zanetti actually came up with this idea of designing a burqini. Not only is it decent, it is also super comfy and I have no worries anymore about wearing the proper attire to swim!

yes, i am a very happy clam customer!! :D

hooray to the burqini!!!
