batik

Since last year, I've developed this new profound need to find batik stuff.

Forget modern kurung design, I'd be way happier if I could get a simple batik baju kurung (though will NOT get the matching one for the husband. I find them ugly.) which isn't good for my purse, because batik really cost a lot. A simple batik kurung which made from Terengganu batik would cost RM500+ in KL!

So recently when we went to Bali, we went to this big souvenir shop to get stuff for families and friends back home. It's a big store, and you can get so many things there from Bali homemade soap, kitchen utensils, beachwear and T-shirts.

I, on the other hand, found these.

As soon as I saw these, I didn't bother to check anything else out. They came in so many designs (almost 10 boxes full with these as they sell in bulk) and the husband had to wait hours for me to go through every box, to look for designs I like.

Settled for these, and am the happiest girl alive. I told him that I promised myself I'd buy less things for fear of excessing our baggage limit, so I bought three. Now I wish I'd bought more T.T

"You should've bought a whole box and sell them back in Malaysia for a good price"

I don't know if he was serious or just making fun of me, but now I wish I'd taken what he said seriously.

After we had our second reception in Dungun, he took me around his town.

He asked me what I wanted to get from Terengganu.

Batik for baju kurung! Cost a fraction of what we have here in KL.

I'm a happy girl.
