Eppp!!! Cannot aye?

Hello you all[s]!!!! Have you BTB[s] experienced the momma[s].makcik[s].nenek[s] repeatedly told you...eh cannot do this!! Eh!! Don't do that!! Jangan balik malam malam!!! Eh this!! Eh that!! Well, I have and being me, I will always ask why as I am that one individual who never follow any blind faith. And, I believed there should always be a logic and realistic explanation for every single thing that we cant do.

So, basically I know that many of us Malay BTB[s] are aware of the pantang larang[s] that needed to be followed but exactly what are the true facts to it or is it just a myth? For me, prevention is cure and I would try to follow closely as best as I could, manalah tauu...orang tua tua selalu cakap jangan degil kann nanti kena dolat [karma]. As for beau, he has strictly follow all this pantang larang maybe because he is constantly being reminded by Grammma at home. So, yep this dude totally takes it seriously. Which is good...I guess.

So, here are the "Cannot[s]" before that Big day of yours. It's not compulsory for you to follow but hey! just look at it as a guideline jer lah yer Cik kak?!!

Ready...Steady...Go!!!

utk mengelakkan tohmahan masyarakat. Selain itu ia bertujuan utk mengawal nafsu. Ia juga utk menimbulkan perasaan rindu dendam. Perasaan yg timbul akan membuatkan wajah pengantin lebih berseri.

Anyhoo, this are some of the pantang larang[s] I picked up from the internet. Many are just suited for people during our Momma[s] era but I guess if you just take care of yourself and dont do things you shouldn't, you should be save la kan. All in all, kita ni orang perempuan, so jagalah maruah diri masing-masing yer.....Like what I mentioned in the previous post, always remember that we malays have our own culture and traditions and do not spoil it. Basically, like what Momma always tell me, kalau nak bersuka ria mesti ada limit. Jangan terlalu happy happy sangat, nanti Nangis.

Ring a bell anyone??

Till then,

Loved.
