Bicara Cinta

2008-08-04T21:53:00.000-07:00

Bicara Cinta is a drama series currently being aired on Astro. Honestly speaking I'm not much of a fan for local Malay drama or film. Hate to say it but it make me feel stupid to watch Malay drama or movie (if I may borrow a local expression you Malay movie followers would know. ) But Bicara Cinta has a story line and theme that I love and that is Batik.

The main story is about love between two young couples juggling a relationship in between their individual business ventures. Then there's a third person who is an additional main character which is intended to complicate the original love story. Between the montage and the story the flow, it is not easy for the audience to understand the intention of the story. However, the contribution between actors Aqasha and Fazura makes it compelling for the audience to follow thru the series to know the outcome of the relationship between the characters they play.

Then there's this story line about this batik factory owner in Kelantan who wants to maintain her family tradition of batik making. This is the story line that make me want to watch the series. I've seen about 8 to 9 episodes now and find the drama flow is a bit slow for my liking. The Kelantan accent by the actors are "phathetic."

The story is yet to finish. All in all, it is a good try by the producer. I think I'll watch it to the end.

Researching and looking for ideas for my 2008 Bead Journal Project (visit http://sulamsayang.blogspot.com) came across these pages:

They are very informative with elaborate description of history, motifs, techniques and source.

Kain Tenun Pahang

2008-02-26T16:22:00.000-08:00

Seni tenunan Pahang berasal daripada Bandar Diraja Pekan. Kampung Soi merupakan Pusat Perkembanganindustri Tenun Pahang utama disamping pusat-pusta lain di Pahang. Fabrik Tenun Pahang ditenun dengan menggunakan 'Kek Siam'. Fabrik ini mudah dikenali dengan menggunkan pemilihan sususnan pada benang Pakan dan Loseng yang diubah-ubah.

Seni fabrik tenun Pahang yang sungguh halus dan indah ini pernah satu ketika dahulu menjadi pakaian untuk majlis-majlis keramaian diraja. Seni tenunan di Pahang dipercayai berasal dari Riau atau Sulawesi (Tanah Bugis) yang dibawa ke Pahang pada abad keenam belas masehi. Ia telah diperkenalkan oleh seorang pembesar Bugis bernama Tuk Tuan (Keraing Aji) yang menetap di kampung Mengkasar.

Kain tenunan Pahang digunakan sebagai kain sarung, kain sampin, selendang dan juga dijahit untuk pakaian tradisional. Kinin, penghasilannya telah disesuaikan mengikut permintaan serta kegunaan pereka fesyen tempatan dan luar negeri untuk dipadankan pada majlis-majlis makan malam, adat istiadat Diraja, pakaian pengantin dan sebagainya. Sebagai satu hasil seni yang bernilai, harganya bergantung pada harga dan jenis benang yang digunakan.

Terima kasih Pusat Perkembangan Industri Tenun Pahang, Kampung Soi, Pahang Darul Makmur.

Intricately woven, songket is not for daily wear. Intricate cross woven with gold or silver thread songket is worn during special occassion or celebration. Tied to the Malay traditional, songket originates from the eastern state of west malaysia namely Kelantan and Terengganu. A visit at a local songket maker in Pantai Cinta Berahi Kota Bharu will help in understanding the art of songket making and wearing.
