on a different note, momma finally get to drag us to Arab Street to search for our Hari Raya cloths. iyelah, kan da big, da pandai ada citarasa sendiri. dad (had to) tag along too since he's the driver. it's funny how un-excited i was although it's like 'hello girl. we're at Arab Street to buy Hari Raya cloths. the keyword - Hari Raya!! hello, hello!'. damn, im already lack of ideas. i don't know what to wear, what kind of cloth to look for &most importantly, what kind of design im interested in. so the moment i stepped in the shop, i searched for magazines although i know there's less chance of me getting to grab a fashion magazine in a cloth shop. bah!

but then (!!), i managed to grab this Wedding magazine &wow, saya suka la dengan design baju dia. i quickly dragged mom over &repeatedly pointing at the page as though my long&sharp index fingernail can create one big hole on the page.

me: mama, mama tahu jahit baju gini kan?
she: mama tahu. dulu mama pernah jahitkan orang macam gini.
me: ah okay best ma. adik nak pakai macam gini on the first day. samer pattern, samer kain tau.
she: (pointing at a shelf of lace cloths) ah! itulah kain dia.
me: (getting excited already) aaaaahhhh! i want maroon. nirah, kau ambil pink ke, red ke. blue pun okay jugak kan.
sis: kau ah ambik biru. bodoh sak color dark blue.

eh..tahu takpe! but to our disappointment, the price was waaaay over dad's budget. $25 for 1metre and i need 4metres. $100 okay!! so mom made us think over it again. tsk!

hopped from one shop to another ¬hing excitedly stumbled our eyes until the little one decided on buying another Songket for the second day of Hari Raya (planning ketat eh dia. ishk!). while she was busily choosing, i was somewhere near the front of the shop staring at nice mannequins until one of the men approached me &showed me different kinds of new cloths they have in store. and i, being the heartless ever, step paham &step interested (padahal aku malas nak layan dia). i know it's rude to let him unroll one cloth after another and showed it to me &all i did was "i'll ask my mom first" &walked away.

i stood near the little one &stared at a black Songket. very nice and i imagined myself in that black Songket.

me: mama, i want this Black Songket ah. nice.
she: but i thought you once had a Songket before already?
me: alah, that's in pink sae. i don't know why in the world at that point of time i chose pink. what was i thinking sae.
she: black? betul?

and i nodded. no, no regrets until (!!!) the inner design wasn't as nice as the outer design so i decided to just pass on it. looking at how miserable i was, mom pulled out this leafy-green colour &boy, i sooo love the green can? =)

..and the little one was still searching for her cloth. =)
