Peranakan Museum

Date:  Sep 3, 2011

Beside the Central Fire Station, not far away, there is Peranakan Museum.  This is a place where you learn about the Peranakan in South East Asia.  Where they come from, their culture, their cloths, their kitchens, etc etc.

There is a cool sculpture just outside the museum.  Touch her hand.

Oh... a cat.

And Kay Kay loves Mel Mel (cat).

OK.  These few pictures are too cute...

I think we should buy a cat statue and put at home.

He just adorable.

OK.  Don't put sticket on the cat.

Oh ya.

Oh ya.  The Museum is $6 per Pax.  Children below 6 are free.  And if you have Passion Card, very powerful.  half price.  :)

Oh... I didn't know that Dick Lee is a Peranakan.

Wait now.. Isn't this Uncle Rodney???

Yes.  Confirmed.  It is him.  I had Uncle Rodney as my boss for some time during my Pacific Internet days.  :)

OK.  I have heard of this ceremony before.  Oh... In my brother in law's marrige.  So, my in-law will bring the pork leg to the to-be-bridges house, and then, they will return the leg, something like that.  Wait a minute, that is peranakan... oh... I almost forgot, my wife is 1/4 or peranakan.  I think.

So, we followed the peranakan way.

Wow.  The Hennessy vintage must be very old.

Ok.  Most of the Museum have this.  Emboss the things they want you to find.

See.  I have everything done up nicely.

Hello Hello?

That one just now does not work.  How about this?  Hello Hello?

Let's try the 1973 one.  See if it works?  Hello?

OK.  He is too tired.  Eventually knocks off very fast.

OK.  The peranakan museum has a lot of info regarding Baba and Nyonya.  To the kids at this age, they still cannot appreciate it yet.  But wait until they found a Nyonya in future, then, they will need to come back and study.  :)
