So today, I did a photoshoot wearing the same baju kurung. However I did not wear the same tudung. I was quite lazy to be bothered with pins and brooches. So I just wore tudung instant instead.

Actually, I already took a few photos of myself wearing the same baju kurung 4 days ago, but it was erm.. not so nice, it was blurry and the lighting was quite bad. It was already quite dark. So this time, I did the photoshoot when the sun is still shining bright. :P

Don't worry, I will include the blurry photos as well. There were not many to choose from. :P

We start with the photo taken 4 days ago. I was wearing the exact same tudung. :P

Photo above: to show how big the baju kurung had become. The shoulder pads was drooping off my shoulders. It has been 5 years since I last wore that baju kurung. :))

I'm liking the photo on the right. I look kind of cute! :))

Photo above: I used a few pins to alter the oversized baju kurung. Even put pins to pull the shoulders together, the pads no longer droop off my shoulders. Now it looks as if the oversized baju kurung fits me perfectly! :P

Next, photos taken today!

Today, I actually used the tripod to take photos. As you can see, its super bright. I got too much sunlight. :P

Anyway, the point of using tripod is to snap full body shots (except my head of coz, wasn't wearing any tudung at the time).

Remember this photo?

The one on the left.

It was 2005, and I was wearing the same baju kurung and tudung on my graduation day.

so.. I reenact the same pose.. the 45° side pose. There was no vending machine, so I just had to imagine. I think I did not just reenact the side pose, but I was over thinking it and even reenact the posture (hunchback of notredame) when I was chubbier, hence I looked like my slouching quite a bit, like nenek kebayan. :-s

I look quite big from the side, that baju kurung was extremely BIG!! T_T

Before anyone ask me for face shots, YES.. I did snap some.. thank God I got at least 2 decent looking photos. The others were horrid. I purposely took photos without my glasses. :P

So how's the transformation? O.K. or K.O? :))
