The Nyonyas In Kebayas

No, it’s not the Bananas In Pyjamas but it’s us Nyonyas In Kebayas 
Remember I blogged about my family members being involve in the opening (and closing) ceremony of SUKMA XIII 2010? Well, I managed to persuade Darling to bring me back to Melaka that weekend and I arrived just a couple of hours before the bus came to take them to the Hang Jebat Stadium.
Remember I blogged about my family members being involve in the opening (and closing) ceremony of SUKMA XIII 2010? Well, I managed to persuade Darling to bring me back to Melaka that weekend and I arrived just a couple of hours before the bus came to take them to the Hang Jebat Stadium.Here was what happened that Saturday (12/6/2010)
4pm
Arrived Malacca
4.30pm
Helped Mom and niece with their make-up. They already had their hair done so I just help them apply some light make-up. Played a lot with mascara though
5pm
Cousin Jill came to collect her kebaya and told me there are still 2 places vacant and asked me to join them. I was so tempted and excited. But knowing that I had to go at 6pm and will only be home after midnight, I had to decline.
Darling saw the look of disappointment in me and suggested the craziest idea ever. He suggested for me to be dolled up in a kebaya too just for the sake of photography and fun. I brushed off the idea initially but after a lot of pestering from all parties, I quickly grabbed my Mom’s kebaya and an Aunt’s kain. Mom helped with the kerongsang (brooch) and I pinned a single purple orchid on my hair 
5.30pm
All done and set to go. Borrowed Mom’s kasut manik and went outdoor to take some group pics.
6pm
The bus came and I bid farewell to them. Changed to my spaghetti top and shorts and went motor riding with Darling and Ethan

Nyonyas at the bus stop
In case you are wondering how the Nyonyas cross the road, well.. here’s how 
Yeah, you might laugh at me for doing what I’ve done but let me tell you this. It’s not always that I get to dress up in a kebaya. I don’t even have my own kebaya. This is only the second time in my life wearing a kebaya.
