Jahit baju kurung riau

Hello! When I made a post before this I got lots of help so I thought I could try again this time after SPM results have come out. Currently I'm filling out UPU and applying for scholarships and I just have a few questions(?). If you have a bit of time and you are willing, please comment anything that you think could help me. Thank you.
Also some questions are less academic related so if this post violates guidelines my apologies.
The first question is about UPU. So, my merit marks are slightly below the avg merit marks that UM asasi has, but I do meet the entry requirements. My merit marks are around ~88% and UM’s markah merit avg is around 92-94%. Should I still put it as my first option? Do I still have a chance at getting in? On the other hand, I have a much better chance at getting into UITM bc my markah merit actually exceeds their avg. Would putting UITM as a 2nd/3rd option reduce my chances? Would someone with a lower merit mark than me have a higher chance at getting in because they put it as their first option? Should I just play it safe and put UITM as my first option then? Or keep UM as my first option?
These next few questions are more about the social aspect of public uni. I'm a bit worried about these as I don't really want to stand out in a bad way and be made fun of. I would like to ask about your experiences at public uni. For background, I’m a non-hijabi Malay girl and while I can speak Malay, I’m more comfortable with English and it’s my main language. I definitely don't mind speaking it, I just want to hear some of your experiences so I can better prepare myself.
I know that public unis are very Malay heavy, and ofc I expect to speak a lot of Malay while I’m there, but is it possible to find others like me? I don’t want to be the odd one out speaking only semi-fluent bm and english. Also, I understand that a large majority of the girls there will be hijabis. Is it possible that there are any non-hijabis like me as well? As in, more than one or two. I’m afraid I’ll stand out in that way too and get teased/made fun of.
What do I wear? Do I have to wear baju kurungs everywhere? What attires should I bring? I’ve heard a few horror stories of students showing up to the first day of class wearing something completely different from their classmates and getting stares. Are they strict about what we wear? Is there anything class-related I should prepare for?
Any culture shocks I should be expecting? I'm gonna be honest I'm kinda whitewashed.

I know this sub has hard on for amoi in kurung or kebaya. So I create this thread for us to share the sauces of the amoi influencers who wear kurung or kebaya from time to time, not just in raya season or to kenduri. Others with sauces also please share in the comments!

So i’m bringing my gf to a wedding where my parents will be attending. she has never wore it before so which one would be appropriate for the occasion?

Hi fellow audience,
I have several question regarding this elegance dress

1. Why won't Malaysian Chinese wear Cheongsam to work?
2. Is wearing Cheongsam is restricted to a certain festive or ceremony?
3. If let's say a Malay women wear Cheongsam to work everyday as they wear Baju Kebaya, would it became culture appropriation in the eyes of Chinese community?

I need an honest opinion because I have two beautiful long dress of cheongsam (of course la cheap but still beautiful in my eyes) which I wear during a week before CYN ONLY (wear it a work). Most of my Chinese neighbors will give a compliment when they see me with that dress. A usual a side eyes from several of Malay friend since the dress itself is a little bit tight and fit. Still, I'm thinking of adding more Cheongsam collection in my wardrobe.
Aside from wearing it during that time, it kind of weird to wear as usual dress code to work since Chinese also don't wear it to work. I'm the type of Malay women who wear Baju Kebaya and Baju Kurung Moden to the office (reason why I don't have a problem to wear cheongsam due to my slim shape even at the age of forty).
I do also have Punjabi Salwer Kamez type of clothes and I have no problem wearing it to the office since most of my Indian friends does wear it. Thus it not weird la kan... but Cheongsam with the elegance and the craftmanship of the dress itself, why not wear it as daily work dress? When Cheongsam itself is gazette as Baju Kebangsaan at Malaysia. Why?

• Southeast Asia’s tropical climate calls for breezy outfits. Flowy maxi dresses, wide-leg pants, and loose-fitting tops are summer staples.
• Stay Cool: Opt for lightweight fabrics like linen and cotton.
