Hello everyone! Again, I apologise for my lack of updates. I haven't been feeling crafty lately, but I think I'm getting the mojo back after my day out to Central Market yesterday. As you all know, I started a Project 365 photo blog, so the main reason why I went to Central Market yesterday was to take some photos. I managed to take a number of photos yesterday (I wouldn't say that 100 photos is a lot!) and I had so much fun!
I saw a lot of new things yesterday at Central Market. There are so many interesting handicrafts being sold there, you'll be spoiled for choice. There are a lot of boutiques selling fabrics such as batik and songket. I also saw a mannequin wearing a beautiful kebaya. I took a photo of her lol!
Anyway, if you're interested in purchasing batik or just curious about it, here's a website that specialises in selling exclusive, handcrafted batik called KrafOnline. Batik can be worn for casual and formal events. I'm sure you can find something that you like at the website. Just click on the image below! Have fun!

ReplyDeleteYay! a point for me! :) woohoo!! :) :-D :-D :* :* :* :*
ReplyDelete:-$ :-$ :-$ :-$ Debbs! :* :*
ReplyDelete:-$ :-$ :-$ for you.. i got an email saying i was qualified for this post!! :( :(
ReplyDeletethat's a beautiful kebaya debbs!! my late grandma left a lot of beautiful hand made kebayas.. when she passed away, all the relatives took her kebayas before we had the chance to.. all the good ones were taken. 'Coz my grandma had a reputation for having the best kebayas.. :'( :'(
ReplyDeletewe only have a few debbs.. itu pun her good ones.. her function or grand ones, my mom's cousins dah ambik.. my mom so sakit hati you know.
ReplyDeleteAgain with the Mama Mia? LOL did she like the HSM you got them? *DONT_KNOW* *DONT_KNOW*
ReplyDeleteI rarely get opps from SS nowadays, but I keep getting emails saying i'm qualified for opps then I need to reserve it but waiting in queue takes forever!
ReplyDelete8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)
ReplyDeleteI got that email too, but this one is not the paid post. It's the CPC op. :) I get $$$ for valid clicks! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! How come now no more izzit your mom's batik store, Shem?
ReplyDeleteThere were 4 more mannequins there at the pathway, I think it's a clever way to promote the shops. :):) They have the name of the boutique at the bottom, near each mannequin.
ReplyDeleteOh I am so sedih for you and your mom, Shem. Mcm tu pun ada kan relatives? Me no likey. >:o >:o >:o
ReplyDeleteWah so valuable la her old kebaya. So sayang if those who took them don't take good care of them kan?
ReplyDeleteI know, Ane! I think there are too many competitions and too little ops!
ReplyDelete:-$ :-$ :-$ indeed Ane! :) :*
ReplyDeleteNo.. she closed shop some years after my kid sister was born. My kid sister
ReplyDeletewas born with some complications and had to undergo a lot of surgeries.. but
my sister is 100% fine now!! :-) :-)
_____
Yeaahhh that is a clever way of promoting!! :-)
ReplyDelete_____
Oh okay..it's good that your kid sister is 100% fine now. :):) Maybe your mom should open that batik shop again kan? :):)
ReplyDeleteIyaaaa.. my mom's side ramaaaiiiiii family. My late grandma had 8 brothers
ReplyDeleteand sisters.. and one of my grand uncles tu, have like 9 kids.. so multiply
his kids with their kids.. and that's only one branch. LOL! But yeah.. my
mom sedih lah they just take it.. my grandma tu last time, was considered
quite weak and skinny.. so her parents didn't let her kerja di kebun.
Instead, they sent her to school. Her and her eldest brother. She was a
warden at juvenile school as well as an English teacher. During the war she
was in red cross. Very proper and prim lah my late grandma. Very Martha
stewart also! LOL! so all her baju2 tu is very well taken care of and memang
really expensive. We only got her church kebayas. It's her Sunday best but I
still wished we got the nice ones!
_____
Itu lah debbs!! so sayang you know.. if they keep it really well.. nevermind
ReplyDeletealso lah kan debbs?? she also pernah dance with charles vyner brooke tu
debbs at the istana.. she said they were a few chosen.. her kebaya for that
time, my mom's sister yang simpan.. so nasib jugak it didn't fall into
random hands..
_____
No debbs. she said she's old and tired to do that already.. within the 1st
ReplyDeleteyear that she opened.. suddenly batik stores were opening up like mushrooms!
LOL! but my mom only at that time sold batik indon.. that's why we always
went to Jakarta last time!
_____
Wow, patutla...of course she mmg proper and prim, yes? Mesti cantik tu your grandma. :):):) Some more educated. :):):)
ReplyDeleteWah wah, best juga tu the history of your family. Termasuk dlm Sarawak history tu. :):)
ReplyDeleteOwh...yalah bnyk sudah tu kedai jual batik and kain..it's time for your mom to relax also kan? :)
ReplyDeleteHahahah tgk lah cucu dia macam mana!! Hahahaha perasannya me debbs! LOL! but
ReplyDeletewe were soo scared of her debbs! garang oh my late grandma.. she was one of
those grandmas that don't like huggy wuggy and smother you with kisses and
give you candy all the time. Instead, she'll give you reader's digest
special edition books or alarm clocks for your birthday and just talked very
philosophical when you're sad. Very wise and I miss her sooo much.
_____
Hahaha yeahhh.. I want to get the picture.. but my aunt keeps in at her home
ReplyDeletein Australia.. if one day I go there, I'll make a copy for me.. :-)
_____
Yaaa.. now she's just selling her Shaklee vits.. I never imagined my mom
ReplyDeletewould be selling direct selling products.. over the years.. she'll keep on
buying from people but this time she feels it's soooo berkesan that she
wants everyone to eat it! LOL!
_____
Oh no, sorry that you miss her, but we can never forget them kan? :):) Wah I want la grandma like that. Give me Reader's Digest for besday. Hehehe...
ReplyDeleteOh your mom's sis tu yg your aunt who's in Australia la ni kan? :):)
ReplyDeleteBagus juga she's selling something that really works. :):) She looks healthy and young bah!
ReplyDeleteHahhaahh yeah.. I remember lagi tu.. reader's digest book of facts. LOL!
ReplyDeleteplus.. her scrabble record still is unbeatable.. ramai oredi my uncles try
to beat her.. tetap kalah!! LOL!
_____
Yeahh.. my mom only has one sister. Her older sister is like 7 years older
ReplyDeletethan her.. she's never seen my kids before. so I'm forcing J to bring me and
the kids this year!!
_____
Hahahaha mom called me last night and she said she's old oredi! LOL!
ReplyDelete_____

ReplyDeleteOh mmg bah she looks healthy and happy and young! :):)
ReplyDeleteYaaa.. my mom misses her a lot.. after 2 years when we were at US.. she came
ReplyDeleteover to help take care of us and stayed with us until we came back. She
lived with us most of the time.. unless she wants to go back to her home in
kuching..
_____
Hahahah yeahhh.. that would be sooo fun ya debbs?? bring them there.
ReplyDelete_____
Oh patutla, so rapat some more with your grandma. :):) I'm sure she's watching over you and your kids. :)

ReplyDeletegrandmas sebab our grandpa's awal jalan.. I never saw my grandpa from my
mom's side who passed away when my mom was 18 and my kids never saw their
grandpa who passed away when I was 18. My grandpa on my dad's side pun
passed away when we were in US.
_____
Hahaha I heard passport they want to reduce the fee this year.. konon2
ReplyDeletemenolong meringankan beban masyarakat.. whatever!! LOL! but I hope they do..
_____
Oh I guess I am lucky in a way that I did get to see my grandparents for mom's and dad's side. Now tinggal my grandma mom's side.
ReplyDeleteOh yakah, teruskan meringankan beban masyarakat ya new PM! Lol!!
ReplyDeleteWe now don't have any grandparents.. but my kids have both grandmothers on
ReplyDeleteboth sides. Ehh.. ada grandfather also.. J's side. But J not close to his
