This person is wearing something similar to the Malaysian scouts uniform, which to me represents a big milestone. It marked the time when I finally started to join an actual uniformed body and participate in a major way. It happened on my final 2 years of secondary school, but ok. Previously, I was not able to because the uniform can be cost prohibitive and my parents simply didn’t have the time to bring me to and fro to those marching practices. To be honest, when I was picking which uniformed body to join, I picked scouts because 1, the uniform is pretty dark, so there is no chance of having my bra being see through. Pants was a plus point. 2, it was co-ed. I can’t bear to go into an all girls’ uniform. And it was the closest I would ever get to something more masculine. Every other uniform that I would rather get into happened to be an all boys’ situation. Even though I didn’t managed to get into the marching team, and a lot of girls in my class ask me why I didn’t want to join their teams (to be fair, they were a rad bunch. I just don’t like their uniform colors), I really enjoyed this whole thing.
