we had a misions convention in church last weekend, and to create the awareness among the members, we were encouraged to wear an ethnic outfit. it could be the baju kurung, sari or cheongsam, or even a national outfit from any country that our church was sending its missions team to.
since i had the baju kedah, mini cheongsam and ao dai to choose from, i decided to wear something different. i was quite sure that most ladies in the church would opt for something malaysian. many said the baby pink ao dai looked sweet on me. i was glad it was a good buy! :D
it was quite fun looking at those people who were sporting enough to don traditional costumes walking around in church. an outsider thought we wore like this every time we go to church. they must've thought we were having a costume party in there!
coupling that with the speaker's motivation to share about his experiences in vietnam, it was encouraging to see many people coming forward to serve in this ministry. indeed the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few [Matthew 9:37].
so anyways, my friends decided to watch a movie in 1utama after church. seeing that i didn't have an extra change of clothes to change into, i wore my ao dai to the shopping mall. you should've seen the faces of the shoppers at the mall. i couldn't go into any boutique without having to endure stares from puzzled adults and curious kids.
i wonder if this is how famous models felt like when bring recognised. or worse, maybe this is how people look at aliens.
