Desaru beach
|
|
During the long weekend I went over to Desaru Beach with my mom, brother and his family. My husband and 2 grownup sons decided not to join us and rather stayed at home and be the 'jaga'.....well, as long as they are happy, I don't mind cos there's more money for me to spend there!!!

Pomelo in a pot
|
|
I spy with my eyes something good growing in a pot at my next door neighbour.........in a country where almost 3/4 of the populations stay in high rise flats , seeing nature grows in a pot is really an eye opener, especially for the younger generations. There are small pot of land in schools where vege and fruits are grown, also at some Resident's corner in the HDB heartland to educate the younger generations about where actually our vege and fruits comes from, that is from the mother earth......before they are send to the supermarkets and markets! well, that's the answer most young kids will tell you if you ask them......can't be help since they are born and breed in a city and have not seen farms in their entire lives....not that we don't have farms here, we do ! kids only go there during school outings.
we,,, we adults also tend to be 'suaku' (jakun) when we sees something like this, like me........the first thing I did of course to take photos..

Peranakan Museum
|
|
Finally the Peranakan Chinese has it's own museum which was officially opened last weekend. I have always been intrigue with their colourful cultures , having many peranakan friends while growing up. So I didn't want to miss this opportunity to immerse myself in this unique SouthEast Asian Culture.There's more than 1200 artefacts- jewellery, costumes, furnitures, beadwork and other treasured peranakan pieces on displayed here. Besides entrance fees are waived just for the weekend and there's food fair, cultural shows and cooking demo being organised near the marquee which was set up just for this purpose.What a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon there!
.
Just who are the Peranakans?
For centuries the riches of Southeast Asia have brought foreign traders to the regions, while manu returned to their homelands, some remained behind, marrying local woman.
The peranakan Chinese are descendants of chinese traders who settled in Malacca and around the coastal areas of Jawa and Sumatra, as early as 14th century.In the 19th century, the Peranakans Chinese drawn by commerce, migrated to the bustling ports of Penang and Singapore. Theirs was a unique hybrid culture which still part of Singapore's living heritage.
The malay term of 'peranakan' which means 'locally born' also refers to other communities that developed in Southeast Asia like the Chitty Melaka and Jawi Peranakans.( Indian Muslim)

Shopping time with the little niece
|
|
My one and only niece from my side, she just love posing in front of the camera. Whenever she see me taking out my camera, she'll starts her mega watt smile and pose willingly for me.Of course after a few hours of shopping with the mom, grandma and me at Arab Street,looking for material to make our baju kurongs, she's got cranky and keep on asking, can we go home now?....and she fell asleep in the mrt, on the way home...that gave us some peace and quiet, cos she's one chatterbox who can't stop asking questions!..

Let's play follow the leader, since the shifu is free to teach us mummies a thing or two about digital photography. She also make perfect model to us, since she's totally oblivious to the surrounding when her camera is in hand.
A few of my mummies friend has recently been upgraded to a 'bigger' camera and who's a perfect teacher but this lady, Norza who's willing to share a few tips and even organise an outdoor photoshoot with us, the newbies. Of course ours are the prosumer camera not the DSLR lah
