Measuring Up!



Most of you guys would probably have your Baju Raya (malay traditional dress) ready by now. we're just going to use previous year's. I'm pretty sure by now people are in their Hari Raya mood. busy preparing for Eid, buying/selling cookies, making hampers (i so so miss it), painting the front gate, putting up new curtains, radio stations are playing Raya songs... at times like this, i miss Malaysia more than ever. after reading today's NST online, i can almost hear the buzz at Jalan Masjid India.


We measured Aidan up for his first Baju Melayu today. Aidan's Mak Cu (my aunt) will help find him one back home. this is going to be Aidan's 2nd Eid. we cant wait to get a parcel from back home containing Aidan's first baju melayu, and hopefully, together with my nephew Ferran's too!



These was what we wrote in an email to Mak Cu earlier today, regarding Aidan's measurements (in Malay). dont be surprised! he's a growing boy!


Lengan to lengan - 26" to 27"

tengkok ke hemline baju - 15"

seluar - 18"

pinggang - 20"

leher - 12"

songkok - 19"

kain sampin - 11"



Hope there's one that fits him!

hehehe zaza.. mesti cute.

K.zue ingat hamizan punya kepala dah habis besar sebab dia pakai size 19 3/4!!!! rupanya ada gak yang ikut :)

At first when i went to the shop & saw songkok size 18", k.zue siap kata kat dia - cian anak mak tahun ni tak dapat pakai songkok lagi. semua songkok besar2. Rupa2nya, kepala anak ku lagi besar!! :) tak palah, janji jangan besar kepala ;)

He is now 13kg! can u image? mesti aidan pun lebih kurang hamizan. dah tak larat nak dukung - tp still kena dukung. jalan dah start ok & always ask me for the shoes ("mak - shooo")- sibuk nak jalan kat luar.

kejap je dia dah 1 year & 5 months. Beli baju pun kena beli for 2 years & above. kalau tak maknanya tak muat!
