Cheong Sam or Kua?

14 June 2008 - Haiz, I still can't make up my mind whether to wear a kua or cheong sam for the tea serving ceremony. Although I am not a very traditional person, there are certain things I prefer to follow the traditional way. As such, a tea dress is out of my consideration.

Actually, I have decided to wear the kua, but... I can't stand the colourful "gems" at the neckline of the collar. Too striking lah, like very "wayang"! So, the next choice of what I deem as a tradition outfit came into mind - a cheong sam.

Meowvin and I made our way to Holland V, where there was a little shop selling cheong sams. I have never thought that I would look good in a cheong sam, but surprisingly, not only did I manage to find one that I like, I also looked good in it! It seemed like the solution to my kua-cheong sam delima, until Mdm Yik said that its "too black". Arrrgh.

Honestly, I don't see how "too black" it was, with all the floral prints on the body of the dress. In fact, I think its cool, a good change from the usual bright red cheong sams! Mdm Yik agreed that it was very nice though, and suggested that I buy it to wear to wedding dinners in the future, lol. Haiz, sad... so many people said it was nice, yet I can't wear it during my wedding cos the older generation may make noise.

Haiz... sianz... now I got to go chong sam and kua hunting again. Sianz.
