Ok so this is my blog for GB and this wud be my first post here.
Allright.. what am i going to talk here?
We were asked to write about something that has got to do with GLOBALIZATION.
Whoa..I don't have any ideas as what to write here but i think i will just write what is in my mind right now. =)
Last week when i was hanging around with my friends at Orchard,i saw a lady standing outside the shopping mall. She wears legging and a neon-pink shirt. And then..there.. A BIG question mark appears in my mind.
Wow! I said to myself.
What caught my attention was not her bright-coloured shirt as to where she bought that shirt and stuffs BUT for the very fact that she puts on the legging WITH a tudung on her head.
And a question came into my mind.
Do the globalized world has now enabled the muslim women to wear any clothings as long as it does not show their flesh?
Yeah.. nowadays,many teenagers who wear tudung also da pandai nak fashion2 and bergaya but i think they must know the batas if they want to dress up and stuffs.
Macam that lady tadi yang pakai legging tu, I know lah yang teenagers sekarang banyak yang da pakai leggings sekarang. Follow trends katakan.. To be frank,i don't really mind seeing other people wearing those leggings but if you pakai that legging with tudung on your head,rasa macam ada tak kena gitu right?
Macam dah tersalah concept gitu. Tak match lah dengan apa yang our religion da practise.
As you know,legging kan betul2 hug your kaki punya shape. Or kalau ikut budak2 sekarang punya lingo~'ketat gilerr!!'
And sumore,legging is more tight and show the curves of your leg than the 'skinny jeans'.
When they were asked about the issue,some would say "Kan dah modern..dunia pun dah globalized".
Typical answer. Hehs.
Another issue about tudung is that when you want to search for jobs,some place don't want to accept you just because you are wearing the tudung. They will only give you the job,provided that the tudung must be taken off. This has been an issue since the past decades.
The problems that are faced by tudung girls/ladies.
Ok i think that is all for now.
And pardon me if i used a bit of malay language in my post. Rojak sikit. Hehe.
Just wait for the next post ok? =)
HeLL0 :)

- This is my GB blog and i wud write anything that i think it has got to do with the subject at the moment. Feel free to read and comment allright? Sweet :)
So, some Muslims think that globalization means being modern, and being modern means being up to date with their fashion choices. In a way, that is true - being up to date, I mean. I've seen many girls wear leggings with a top that at least covers up to the knees, then complete that with a tudung but like you, I think the concept is somewhat askewed. So, the question now is, not so much as what she wears, but how she sees herself in today's world. Modernity does not mean we abandon the traditions of the past, or in this case, the traditions of the religion. So, what does tradition here mean? Does being traditional mean that we continue to live in the "past"? Or does it mean something else? And what does being modern really means? Does it mean the "now"? Some food for thought, and to know the answers, continue to come to class :)
