my melayu taste


i have this song stuck in my head..hahah

i blared it this morning on the laptop to wake him up to go to work. now its stuck in my head.

i especially like older malay/indon songs with a modern twist. i dont keep tab of the newer songs so i find myself enjoying the older ones more.

i also find myself buying more malay magazines nowadays..so you see i didnt stop after i got married and have no use flipping majalah pengantin. and errrr... no..i dun buy jelita or nona, though i flip through them ocassionally since my mums buy them. i do have a stack of eh! and glam though...both are malaysian publications..and oh yah ocassionally i do buy manja for my mum, depending on who's on the cover, the articles inside and definitely if it comes with a nice free gift.

and why do i like malaysian magazines..mainly because for a break, i would like to read about successful malay women.

i have been buying dare magazine for sometime now..which features pretty cool women. but after awhile i wanted a change. the malaysian magazines feature more successful malay women especially the younger ones. and not just celebrities.. i think our local magazines can do better. why not!..if it is true from what i gathered, the owners of anisahcollection and wayanretreat are in that late 20s! am sure there are many more. dare magazine was inspiring but as i mentioned before, after awhile it could get a bit boring when they have their bible babble.

glam was also rather funny. i find it less funny now. but it was, especially with the 'cerita mak datin' coloum in it.

so you see i am quite melayu in my taste..hahah..my wedding video clip that was shown over dinner was to the tune of kris dayanti's pengabdian cinta. and yes, i chose that song personally. there's a story to it actually.

i was in KL and saw a wedding video there with that song ..and i found it to be so extremely touching and befitting the ocassion. so eventhough half of the dinner guests might not understand it..we did..together with the nenek and makciks and the kakak kakak who were there.

and oh, my wedding band is in gold. the plain one also...very makcik! and super classic..hahah but i figured it will still look fine when my fingers get crinkly and wrinkled. and we did get it from the kedai mas tingkat dua tepi tangga.

errmmm..but it wasnt from mingseng or 2ndchance eh!
