kurungs galore

ramadhan's round the corner. yippiedieyayai!!!

and here i am, trying to finish off the few more days i owed from last year's ramadhan. i should be done by end of this week, Insya Allah. And yes! i look forward to the upcoming ramadhan because that will be time for me to earn more points by doing more ibadah! (Insya Allah!!) :D i believe it's okay to express your desire to want more pahala. you are doing it for the sake of Allat SWT and you should be happy to do it :)

also, have you decided what colour theme is this year's raya going to be? i have a confession to make *GULPS*...

i have a huge penchant for cloth  / textiles and baju kurung. and i went mental shopping at Jakel last year that i ended up making 10 pairs of baju kurung in the end. nope, not kidding. 10 pairs!!! not to forget the additional ones i bought from poya. oh yes, the make lovely kurung pahang and i love them to bits. a bit pricey but when you look at the cutting, the detailing and the fact that it's evergreen (all traditional kurungs are!) i guess it was money well spent. would have been better if i have a daughter whom i would be able to pass down all these kurungs to. but that's a different story altogether.

so yes, i had more than 10 pairs in the end. 13 perhaps? my raya was an ala celebrity one last year. a different pair each day! and it's not like i have open houses to go too on a daily basis. and i even had a different set for my balik kampung trip because wearing thai silk / beaded chiffon / silk chiffon balik kampung is a bit OTT and not to mention 'peghak' as i called it. come on lah, kampung is panas usually and for you to go back all dolled up wanting very badly to look like a KL-ite? you end up looking more kampung then kampung. seriously.... so i had a few more pairs of kurung cottons to wear balik kampung. which means i did not have 13 pairs. but prolly 15 pairs!!


ya rabbi... what devil was unleashed deep within me that time? shopping devil tahap tamak tak ingat i think. :S

so for this year, i will TRY my best to wear only the ones i already have. which means there will be no new kurungs. of course i had two pair done at matase sutera months ago but aside from that, i seriously don't have any new kurungs to boot for raya this year. i will FORCE myself to make do with the existing ones. i will save up that money and stashed it somewhere where it would be out of reach. (okay, maybe not such a good idea). but really! i will strive to live with my 15 pairs of kurungs!!! i will TRY!!!!!

p/s: okay, maybe just one pair from Nisa Mazbar please? :)

Wish me luck!!!
