I love taking photos of lots of things. Of people, food, the scenery, architectural details, etc., etc. Snapshots will be photos of everyday things around us, that happen in our lives; people we know, clothes we wear, food we eat, things we collect, things we love.
The first will be the common batik sarong (
batik basahan) that we sometimes do not even give a second look but just wear it (i.e. if like me, you do wear one at home). This piece of cloth/clothing is something I never travel without. It is most versatile - wear it with a t-shirt to
lepak (lounge) in, bring it to the beach with you as a mat to sit on, even to change out of your wet suit (by gripping it in your teeth to make a tent over your body!)
Did you know that it used to mean something, how you wear your batik sarong (BS)? I was at a USM Cultural Centre do once, and this lecturer explained that if you are a single female, then the
kepala kain is worn at the back. A married woman wears it in front. Or is it the other way round? If it matters to you, then its for you to find out.
