You must be wondering at first, but can guess very quickly what the Merdeka Club was all about....today's friends are 3 Kakak or elder sister who dropped in to learn about Sugarboxes. Now you know that this year Malaysia celebrates her 54th birthday, and so all three Kakaks are about that age! Now if Malaysia was a person, next year she would be eligible to withdraw her savings from the Employee's Provident Fund!
Chef Baini apologises for this overexposed picture. Today's Kakaks are
1)Kak Lin, 2)Kak Mariam and 3)Kak Habsah
Although we are far away from Independence Day, lets just look back to yesteryear when Malaysia (or the Federation of Malaya as it was originally known) was born..... The above picture is the famous moment when Malaysia's first Prime Minister proclaimed independence for the country.
He proclaimed :"Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!"
Interestingly, YBM Tunku Abdul Rahman proclaimed 'Merdeka' three times....
The same number of Kakaks who came today....
Just coincidence or something more? Hmmm.....
Here is a picture of Dataran Merdeka (or Merdeka Square) today....
The same square as it was almost 54 years ago......
And the Stadium where the proclamation was made....
Well, these three ladies were just babies during that time...
Just look at them today!
Here is Kak Habsahgently stamping away....
Next to her is Kakak Mariamwho crafted her own
sugarboxes is a no less dignified manner....
sugarboxes is a no less dignified manner....
Probably the stateliest style award goes to
Kakak Lin below!
And here are their work, just 5 hours 40 minutes later!
This one is by Kak Lin
Kakak Habsah did this....
And finally, this last set was done by Kakak Mariam
Its something else to conduct a class with three sporting Kakaks;
Chef Baini truly enjoyed them coming over!
They'll be back again, Insya'allah!
That's all for the Merdeka Club post, dear friends!
See you again real soon!
Love always,
Chef Baini
