Telekung fashion

Posted on by

Ramadhan has come back. Ahlan wa sahlan (welcome). So does telekung. One can see women wearing it usually after dawn. They will wear it to go to mosque for isya’ and tarawih prayer.  I used to have cotton telekung but nowadays, textile technology has produced sunwashed fabric, which is much lighter, easy to clean and pretty opaque (when I used cotton telekung, I have to wear something inside or the telekung must be layered).

During the pilgrimage (hajj) season hajj pilgrimage , telekung is the garment that sets Asia Pacific women apart from the other women. It’s almost similar to Afghan’s burqa, but different in terms of its cut and design. Telekung comes in white, carries the angelic, purity and obedience image.

It can also be a gift from the groom to the bride (hantaran) which symbolically send the message, “be a good servant of Allah and a faithful wife”. It is usually chosen as a gift because it is easily decorated and at times, it can be creatively made into the shape of a flower, or a hand-held fan.

Pilates and yoga

I tried pilates for abdomen last time (in Women’s Weekly August 2008) and it worked. So I searched for its book in MPH. Unfortunately, the one that I saw on the shelf is so expensive. Rm60 for A5 size book. Last week, I was trying to tracked Mas, but on the way, I found this huge book of pilates and yoga, costs at Rm29.90.

Without any delay, I grabbed and paid. The pictures are helpful and vivid. It’s not a substitute for yoga guru. Anyways, it’s a good try. Worth it.

Blogging hiatus

I have been on a long hiatus and this is the reason why.

I was helping some teachers with the preparation of merdeka celebration and I was calling some people for help. My phone was by my side when I was doing my work. The only time I left my phone with those presents was when I push the boxes into a room, which distance is less than a metre.

When I want to tidy up, I leave nothing on the couch and need to prep for next class. Before I entered my class, I planned to take some pictures using my phone. I scrambled my inside bag, scoured the place that I had been and found none. Tried to ask my friend to call my number and it was shut. Then I realised it was nicked. The room which I entered was my GPK’s room. He had his laptop open, and possess same phone, but my, he was lucky. There were many people entered the office that day. Strange parents not to be mentioned. So, no suspect and I have to accept the fact. I entered my class with mixed feelings. I planned to teach them and it all went to the bin.

When the students misbehave, my throat feels dry and tears dwelling in my eyes. I warned them and looking at them with an austere expression. They did keep quiet. Afraid that I’d become a monster or  any other alien creature.

I really miss my Sony Ericsson K530i. It’s my blogging tool. I took pictures with it. Read RSS feeder. Check my blog’s comment from there (yes, I’m a narcissist). Video call. MMS everything. Seriously. I miss it so much. So click this to help me (emotionally, financially).


What I’m worried now is the person who were  nicked my phone will use my pictures irresponsibly. *takottttt* Oh oh, what if he uploads my pic on gadis melayu. Huwarghh *cry*
