Persatuan Suang Lotud kecewa cara pakai pakaian tradisi diperlekeh

Salaam, all.

It is getting hot in here. Woohoo!

Attention to all fans of Suang Lotud traditional costume, you are advised to read this newspaper clipping (below). The Suang Lotud Association of Sabah (Persatuan Suang Lotud Sabah) are very disappointed with the attitude of some unscrupulous who publicly insulting the traditional attire of Suang Lotud. This issue (the wrong way of wearing traditional attire) can be seen very often, and if prolonged, it will have a negative impact, especially to the heart of Suang Lotud community. If there are uncertainties or doubts about the traditional attire or culture, please don't be hesitate and feel free to ask. The Association are more than willing to assist in any possible ways.

Easy, you do not want to be called  Superman by wearing your underwear outside your pants, right? Tepuk dada tanyalah iman.

P/S: Unduk Ngadau Kaamatan judges, you have a BIG BIG responsibility.

Fabulosity, glamorous and marvelous, literally.

Salaam, all.

"Gala Night" has been a success. One of its objectives is to introduce the contestants of 2013 Sabah State Level Unduk Ngadau Kaamatan to the audience/public.

40 districts, 40 young stunning girls.

Interestingly enough, at this stage contestants were introduced  in a marvelous and glamorous evening gown parade (no bikini, puh-lease!). They were styled in a fully sleek styling, moderate make-up (unlike the traditional attire session) and mesmerizing step as in the international beauty pageant stage.

2013 Sabah State Level Unduk Ngadau Kaamatan prediction and analyses

Salaam, friends.

It has been almost a year and the question of who will be crowned as the winner of 2013 Unduk Ngadau Kaamatan hovering in the minds of every fan of this competition. Of course it is not an easy task. Various factors are taken into consideration based on the sets of criteria. 

As usual, I will analyze the participants based on the photographs and invented my own list. I am not saying I am good, but in the past 2-3 years, my prediction would be almost accurate (still a long shot). Gifted? Maybe. Simply, if you frequently taking pictures of tradition and culture oriented subject (i.e Unduk Ngadau Kaamatan), you will eventually generate the ability to predict based on the exposures obtained in different occasions. For example, the ability to assess beauty aspect of a lady, originality, traditional attire, personality, and so on. Against my better judgment, my predictions are a combination of realism and fantasy(whoa!). For example, those I'm pretty certain will make the cut and some who I'd like to see selected (but probably won't be). It's a pretty competitive year this year, but I think there are realistically only 4-5 girls in with a real shot at the title. Just my amateur thoughts. Jangan marah arr..
