Going traditional this New Year
Went out with my mum the entire day last Saturday to get New Year stuff. One of the last few shops we went to was the CheongSam shop located at Holland Village. She was there to collect her Samfu that has been altered and ready for collection. As she was collecting and trying it, since I was bored, I started browsing at their collection and tried a couple of them 'just out of fun', since I have never tried on such traditional clothes before.

Normally, such clothes will ALWAYS require alteration. However, what was meant for 'fun' turned out likewise. After putting it on, I realised it fitted me perfectly. Subsequently, being vain, I tried on more. After persuasions from the shopkeeper (which they always do) and the approving nod from my mum (signifying I looked good in them), I ended up buying 2 Samfus costing a bomb.

Nevertheless, no regrets because I loveee my traditional look, the look which makes me more CHINESE. Furthermore, what beats looking traditional on this occasion?
