Terompah..

Salam to all viewers..a traditional item that i want to share today is terompah, a shoe that made from wood. Anyway,today i went to kl to buy a new shoes. In all shoes boutiques and shops those i entered, i noticed that there are some kinds of shoes which look like terompah.

Then i started to wonder, "why now people do not wear the real terompah anymore?" Then me myself try to give the answer, "maybe the original terompah looks like outdated and suitable for older only." If me myself, i think the original terompah is not outdated, but it is a bit heavy so people do not like to wear it. that's why i saw in most of shoes shop, there are terompah but it is not a real terompah, it was being modified to look more fashionable and modern. Some were being made more thicker than the real one, so that it will not heavy.

That is good, try to made a terompah like a modern terompah so that people will still appreciate it and wear it. However, i think we should not forget the real terompah, if we keep on made a modern terompah only, how our next generation can recognize and appreciate the classic and real one? Do they have to go to the muzium to see and know terompah? or come to my house to see and wear it? hehe coz my mom has one. She really appreciate traditional items.
