Our lecturer have been talking about a batik factory trip for quite sometime now and it's finally time! For those who don't know what batik is, it is basically a technique of pattern making on a piece of cloth using wax-resistant dyeing. It's origins is debatable, some say it's from Malaysia while others insist that it's from Indonesia. Either way, I would prefer Malaysia's batik because we don't use print human portraits on our batik. Wearing a cloth with a human face is a little strange to me. *laughs*
