My...It's great to read your blog today, Katong Gal. My daughter and I visited the Peranakan Museum yesterday. Although I have a few Peranakan friends, I do not know much about the Peranakan culture. The visit proved to be a real eye-opener for both of us. My 13-year-old daughter is so fascinated by the intricate Peranakan embroidery and the colourful bowls and other crockery that we have decided to do a mini project on the Peranakan Culture. It was so nice of your great-grandmother to donate her bed to the museum. It is truly a magnificent piece of artwork! We may one day travel to Malacca and Penang to discover more wonders and treasures of the Peranakan Culture.So keep up the good job! Oh, yes, we did take a picture of your great-grandmother's bed. The effect is the same as yours.It does not matter. What matters is your willingness to share with others the history of your anncestors so that the young generatins will not miss out in knowing and understanding their roots. By the way, we are not Peranakans but Chinese who are really interested in your roots. <BR/>Do you know that Josephine Chia who wrote the book " Frog Under the Coconut Shell" is a Peranakan too? It is a great book. She is now residing in UK. <BR/><BR/>Nostalgia.Nostalgichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14105465130833557216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955841553501412410.post-75245502644233037132008-05-05T11:04:00.000+08:002008-05-05T11:04:00.000+08:00Hi Katong Gal, there is no need to say sorry about...Hi Katong Gal, there is no need to say sorry about your reflections.
