fabrics much like the ones we got natalie here, they're batique, scarves, sarongs and all over the stores at malaysia, hoping that becomes a worldwide trend. ian williams is wearing his story this evening for us. ian? >> it is a very colorful story, amy. >> indeed. >> it's been an education for me this last few days because i knew about batique, it's a tradition here, a craft. i hadn't realized how much was being done with it, how far it had gone. well beyond the night markets and there are exciting and new things and this is my little journey of batique discovery. >> and you have your on style. >> this is the new face of malaysian bati quuque at the pi bamboo boo talk to. a traditional craft embraced by

top end designers. it has come a long way and defined its roots, to find them meaning traveling to the northeast coast we visited the peninsula of trenganu, dominated by small family-run workshops. it is the creation of fabric designs using dye and removable wax. here the boiling wax is applied using stamping blocks, their base crafted into patterns. >> this is an abstract design? >> it's set in flour. >> the cloth is repeatedly waxed and dyed, the wax is resistant to the dye so when it's boiled away it leaves striking designs. this is your veil. >> beautiful. >> feita inherited the business from her father, most are used for traditional malay clothing, sarongs and caftans. the designs are made from old

cooking oil or milk tins, a skill so rare there are three or four people in this entire state, still capable of making them. one of them is sakari binish mail. nearly 40 years in the business he fears that block stamping will die out unless more young people can be encouraged to take it up. because of that and changing fashions, it had looked like batique in malaysia was losing its magic but a government campaign to promote the craft and its adoption by top designers like marina ibrahim have given it new vitality. >> we try to modernize it, you know. we do not want it to be used for just traditional garments. >> reporter: her workshop uses a different technique, applying the wax on stretched fabric over a pen-like design. the dye is applied like painting by numbers before the wax is

boiled away. the technique is quickly replacing traditional stamping. that upsets many purists, but designers say it gives them more scope for creative expression. designers are discovering that batique can be incredibly versatile and from top end clothing to household furnishings, a traditional craft is being revitalized. this shirt was from that pink jamboo boutique. tell me the truth, amy, i can take it. >> only a real man can wear a shirt like that and you wear it well, ian. we have beautiful models to show how this is stepped up into high fashion, not just talking about skampbz a scarves and sarongs. these are beautiful evening dresses. >> this is pure chiffon silk and these retail for $1,200, $1,300, top end stuff. >> we've had a wonderful,

financial editor jean chatzky founder of "money 911" and author of "psych yourself rich" and stacey tisdale author of "the true cost of happiness." skype we have a question from kristen from mckinny, texas. >> good morning. >> and your question? >> both my husband and i have recently had our positions eliminated from our previous employers. we do have one credit card that has a 15% interest rate and a balance of about $13,000. should we use a portion of his company profit sharing to pay off the credit card or simply roll the entire amount into the existing i.r.a.? being unemployed, would we still have to pay the 10% penalty? >> jean? >> you would have to pay the 10% penalty if you're not 59 1/2,

and what i want you to do, actually, is i want you to make sure that you don't pull the money out of your retirement accounts, because that money is safe if you end up going down the financial slope and ending up in bankruptcy, which we hope doesn't happen to you. we hope you end up back on your feet immediately. make sure that you call the credit card company, tell them what's going on in your life ask them if they can do anything for new terms of a repayment plan that's a little bit easier, but by all means, don't raid the retirement accounts. >> good luck, kristen. >> thank you. >> to an e-mail from sherlette in maryland. i'm trying to finance my daughter's college tuition, the school offered a lon for full amount at 7.9% fixed rate, she finishes school in december 2013. which should she zmooz. >> on the surface it seems low interest is better but i like the lower with the higher interest rate because it's

fixed, more security. a student loan term is typically 10 to 20 years. you don't know what will happen between now and then. another reason i like the 7.9% rate it sounds like it's a plus loan, a federal loan which means in the event of a financial hardship the mother will have a better chance of the full flexibility, stretch out the loan terms, if she loses her job, she may have her loan payments suspended. more flexibility. >> now we go to the phone, sharon from kansas city, mo, good morning. >> caller: good morning. >> your question? >> caller: i'm selling my house in california because it is becoming difficult to rent it out from khan kans, wheansas an if i wait i won't get the best price. should i invest in another rental property and keep in mind capital gains, in kansas city or do you have any other investment ideas with the maybe $250,000 i might have after paying off my mortgage here in kansas city? it's my only income now, although i'm looking for work. i'm 56 years old, divorced and

supporting my partly disabled 19-year-old daughter on my own. >> wow. stacey? >> sharon if that's your only income you need to nurture it and invest it in yourself. let's think what rental income won't do. it's not going to provide you coverage for medical expenses, not allow to you build up your retirement, not going to get you diversification and there's so much hope and prayer. i hope the tenant pays, i pray they don't leave and the trouble of maintenance and all the effort there. >> you don't like the rental thing. >> not if this is your only income because you have to invest that money in yourself. you need to invest in a job training program with a good placement record, invest in emergency savings. i'd love to see you take some of that and put enough away to cover at least nine months' worth of monthly expenses, provide financial security in your retired years for you and your daughter and invest that money in yourself. this is about providing security for you and your daughter. >> caller: great, thank you. >> you're welcome. we're going to go to one last

mistake of questioning my wife one day. >> what a fool you are. what are you feeding my children? she turned it on me and said if you paid half as much attention to feeding your kids as do you to feeding the customers, we could write a whole book. so that's the genesis of the whole thing. >> that's what happened. we start off with slow roepsed por roasted pork. >> you have a pork shoulder. they're really, really cheap and so easy to cook. i just stabbed in with a knife and kind of like shoved in little pieces of garr rick and rosemary. if you don't want to do it, you don't have to. throw into olive oil in a pan. instead of using a roasting rack i love to add onions and carrots and celercelery, elevates the r and you have water to keep the dripgz fr drippings from burning. >> how long in the offen? >> couple of hours, moderate heat, 350 degrees and this is like our sunday supper, what we

want to eat at the sunday dinner table. so after this, i'll make a few dishes throughout the week for gen toifr reheat or things we can put together real quick, running in between ballparks and this and that you know how it can be. >> exactly. >> just a little bit of chopped up pork. we have onion i started browning a second ago. we have a little pepper jelly. >> i love pepper jelly. ketchup and peanut butter. >> we don't like ketchup and peanut butter. we add honey. would you stir that for me? >> i sure would. >> a little bit of vinegar, wor worcestershire sauce, a little bit of salt and pepper, and it's just that easy. so basically you made this barbecue sauce in the bottom of the pan. >> all in one pot. >> in one foul swoop. i love to spoon it over it.

>> you don't have to cook it long because the meat is already cooked. >> no time whatsoever. just like this, i loved fried onions. if you don't want them don't use them. >> that's okay. lettuce and potatoes. honey, it's healthy. >> there you go. >> very nice. >> i'll give that one to you later. >> okay, thank you and come back here. >> you can also take that same pork. >> right. >> chop it up and make it, turn it into a five-minute chili. >> what kind of beans in there? >> these are little great northern, they can be canollini. i like dry. if you don't want to do it, don't do it. use canned beans. >> number three. number four. >> this is like one of my favorite, my children love to eat vietnamese food. we have this culture in new orleans, rice stick noodles, easy. >> delicious. >> throw grilled pork on top. how are you all doing? >> how are you? >> would you excuse us, please.

>> hello! >> well, well! i never! >> yes you have. >> now i'm blushing. i've never seen al just like shoved off the set before. >> i'm sure your wife would love to know that. >> all right, all right, so i'm sorry. just get caught up in the moment. >> four ways roasted pork. always the best. >> thank you so much. >> we've got day four of matt's where in the world is matt lauer.
