Saturday, November 29, 2008. I sincerely apologize for not updating my blog for a month, I have been too lazy and relaxed in this nice holiday. Soon to business! All four RSP schools went to the Peranakan Museum on 1 November. I was late by about half an hour, but kind Ms. Lee took a taxi with me there. Thanks Ms. Lee! Perhaps what the Peranakans are most famous for is their beadwork. We saw peranakan beaded slippers on show that day. I learnt that it takes thousands of tiny glass beads just. Many spices...

The statue of the Buddha was made of gold. This statue of another Buddha was also carved out of gold. This is a wall painting depicting the construction of the temple. This was another amazing structure. Then, we went to the Golden Mile Complex. It was where all the Thai gathered. Money could be donated to charity. Then, app...

Thursday, March 12, 2009. I haven’t posted for so long! In the early morning of Tuesday, 10 March 2009, 6.45am, a group of black-clad RGS students gathered in the RGS foyer, chattering excitedly and comparing their passport photos. The air was dewy and cool. That image is forever imprinted in my memory. My first time overseas this year) then traveled through Johor Bahru to Kukup. Melaya was part of the Malay archipelago, the most famous state being Melaka. (Yes Xiao Niang Re and history freaks! Malaysia’...

Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Tanahair: tanah (soil) air (water). Means motherland or native land. Rice requires soil and water to grow. Rice sustains life of an individual in a typical Southeast Asian community. So the land that sustains life is the land that the individual belongs to. For river and coastal communities, the river or the sea would be the source of life. River provides mode of transportation; sea provides food. Tanah tumpah darah: soil where blood is/was shed . Means motherland. Posted by Mel at.

Tuesday, August 26, 2008. We watched a video on a malay. Cultural dance during a RSP. The performance was at Malay Village, a location in Singapore. At first, there were a few women dancing gracefully, and they seemed like they were imitating the actions of female horses. Then, the malay. Men came on stage and they were so called 'possessed' by the spirit of the horse, and started behaving like real horses. Music in the background. There were a few people who were playing on the Gamelan.

Monday, October 27, 2008. Although i'm not able to go for the RSP seminar/Peranakan Museum excursion, but i'll still do some research on it. The Nonyas wore baju kebayas, closely similar to the uniform of the SIA air stewardesses. They also wore beaded slippers called Kasut Manek. These shoes were hand-made by the Nonyas, and it took great time, effort and patience to bead and sew tiny faucetted glass beads onto a canvas. Traditional kasut maneks often have floral designs on them, with colours influe...
