Peranakan

The blogging bug bit me! I am suppose to be in dreamland now because I have an outing tomorrow but here I am posting an entry. This is going to be a real random post and I am going to show off my photography skills in this post. So what if I have no talent in photography, I am still proud of what I manage to snap using my handphone's camera.

Anyway, the pictures below are taken in a Peranakan (aka Baba Nyonya) mansion in Penang. Don't know what is Peranakan and Baba Nyonya? Do google to find out if you are interested. If you are too lazy to read about it, maybe you can watch the Singapore series 'A Little Nyonya'. It's an excellent drama and it was partly filmed in the mansion that I visited.

Delicate designs on each window in the mansion

Elaborate (and heavy) jewelleries of the Nyonya

I took about 200 pictures and it's impossible to upload all of them. You should visit Penang, Malaysia and check out this mansion yourself. It is simply breathtaking.
