it was interesting today. was choosing a nyonya top and a kebaya (haha. splurging for my drama showcase. and gathering ethnic costumes) at Chinatown OG, and it turned out that the lady manning the nyonya kebaya corner is a peranakan lady herself. so she taught me how to do the brooch for the top, and taught me that i don't have to buy the beaded shoes (according to her, cheapest pair is ard $99), but i can just wear shoes that have kitten heels. so nice :)
she asked what i was using it for, and wanting to come and watch my play (cos she lives at north bridge road, and i told her that the showcase is at textile centre). hahaa. later learned that it was cos she wanted to take a picture of me in the nyonya kebaya and then put up the picture at her corner (possibly to encourage young people to wear the kebaya too. haha). funny chatty middle-aged lady who kept asking me to think carefully when choosing between two kebayas. hahaa.
oh my goodness, but it's super expensive. the ones i got are probably considered relatively cheap... i got a set at $208.80 T_T i can buy 8-10 dresses from Toa Payoh/bugis/blogshops with that amount of money. hohoho.
and go for a trip to bintan twice. LOL
ah well. investments. haha
i told the lady i'll take the photo and pass it to her at her shop once again! hahaa.
what's said out is a promise to be kept :)
