<h1 class="post-title">Purchases, approximately at the time of Chinese New Year</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<time datetime="2019-02-06T00:00:00+00:00" class="post-date">06 Feb 2019</time>

|
|
<p>By no design of my own, both last year (2018 A.D.) and this (2019 A.D.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
, I’ve made purchases
|
|
|
|
|
|
that are somewhat associated with Indonesia - and specifically, batik -
|
|
|
|
|
|
approximately
|
|
|
|
|
|
at the time of the respective year’s Chinese New Year.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Last year, it was a button-down shirt from Kiah’s Gallery
|
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/Kiahb4tik/">
|
|
|
|
|
|
(https://www.facebook.com/Kiahb4tik/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
</a> - where the seller told me, “Batik is a dying art.” (she also effectively
|
|
|
|
|
|
said, if I’m not mistaken, something like, “The batik-shirt
|
|
|
|
|
|
chooses its owner.”) -
|
|
|
|
|
|
and this year, a coin-pouch, from The Green Collective SG
|
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/thegreencollectivesg">
|
|
|
|
|
|
(https://www.facebook.com/thegreencollectivesg)
|
|
|
|
|
|
</a> - maybe the designer, or maker, of the coin-pouch is from Indonesia.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Now, what do I say about Indonesia? Or about batik?</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>I just thank my god that I have the luxury of the experience of buying batik,
|
|
|
|
|
|
while on the island of Singapore.</p>
