  • Pieces in my house

      I am a little bit desperate to make my study corner more interesting.

    study corner

    But still look so boring... I tent to remove the table and make my study corner like a japanesse style. I dont know it works or not.

    Honestly I like to put many cute little things in my book shelf though..

    elephant

    I bought this elephant when I went back to Indonesia and shop some pairs statue...

    old pairs of statue

    That statue I bought in one of the gallery that sell old pieces, the woods is old and I am not sure if treated, but so far I don't have any problem with termites and their friend.

    The elephants I bought from garage sale in my condo lobby, and I have to fight with one lady to get it :)

    And since my "tjanting" (tools for Batik painting) is no place, so I just put in that wodden bowl (well the bowl is empty)...

    This is the replica from the old one..

    new pairs of statue

    I am so mad about frangipani painting. I have another small one in my bed room. Thats why my mood board also inspired by those flowers.

    I bought this painting when I was in Bali... walking around in Legian street and found this pieces in one of the gallery...

    frangipani painting

    But I shouldn't buy those color though, not really stand out when I put in my dafodile color wall.

    water plant

    oh and just let you know this is my water plant cum my dog water bowl ....:) and now it has new friend inside... my floating turtle... will take a picture and post it here...:)

  • Old China Cafe

    Spending a nice wheather on Sunday (cloudy and windy complement with drizzling), we went for Sunday brunch at the place called Old Chinese Cafe. The place is literally OLD. Not made to replica an old place. They serve a Nyonya food and they also selling Antique...

    The ambience is complete by the Chinese old song that they play...

    There are plenty old picture on the wall that I guess been long time the wall never been painted...:)

    And also old fridge that still functioned well. They keep softdrinks for guests to order.

    OneCorner

    some more old pieces...

    I love the clock...

    New Picture

    But the picture of the lady makes me a bit chilled... may be remind me of the Great great grandmother ( if she really look like somebody in that picture). But my husband has a Baba Nyonya blood, so his Great great grandmother likely will look like that lady :)

    Here are our brunch...

    We order Nyonya sotong petai sambal (squit and chilli), Pork curry devil ( it said a portugguise dish), and mix veggie wrap in the beancurd skin. And also Coconut white and blue rice. I am not really sure how the rice become blue... but it edible :) 

    food

    oh... and also traditional cofffee is a MUST have after meal... smell good... but very strong ...absolutely good.

    I enjoy the coffee and enjoy the atmosphere and old music...and of course great companion ( my hubby..:))

    Coffee

    Since they selling antique furniture and we also looking a suitable chairs for our house, we found out what we like and still negotiable with the price... hopefully few days they will call us and match our budget...

    antique furniture

    I love the fan too... been looking for it quite sometime...if budget allow, I will consider that..

    BabaNyonyaDoor

    and my husband want of these doors to replace our bedroom door.. Need to save more..:)

    Anyway... we have a pleasant sunday brunch... when we walk out and walk along the China town street... it is still drizziling... what a nice Sunday!!

    We visit a temple in the clift...

                                  temple

    That's... only one of the building.... They put three statue to pray for the Budhist worshiper.

                                        doors

    Eventhough this doors is still new ( I expect for much more older building...) but the workmanship goes to the details...

                           roof

    And.. while waiting for my friends prayed... I took this roof from the higher building...

    Dragons are everywhere... I am not sure what dragon represent..but it always a nice sclupture of dragon in the most Budhist temples.

                                      dupa

    I saw many people hanging this unique inscent after praying.. this meant for offering to their Gods...

    The view is over the mountain...those inscent are so lucky.. everyday seeing the green trees...

    I wish I could see more trees from my window...
