got to find out that there'll be a remake of the ending of 'little nyonya'. i knew it. haha. singaporeans, as usual, had complained that the ending was, erm, not a happy ending. most expected that yueniang and xin-er would be together at last. some even commented that why there were descendents of the evil guys, charlie and robert zhang and why yueniang, the good one, had no descendents. dah di dah di dah. hee. well, i did expect yueniang and xin-er met when they were old. but i was disappointed there were no scenes on what had happened to the rest after yueniang got the huangs house esp yuzhu. was she like forever mad and did she stay in the mental hospital until she passed away? hmm, let's see what the new ending will be.
i love the show due to its featuring of the baba peranakan culture. the costumes, the food! i've been eating the malay and nyonya kuehs since, erm, young. haha. totally love them. bingka ubi, ondeh-ondeh, harom manis, kueh lopes, puteri salat, kueh kaswi, talam ubi, talam keladi, nagasari pisang, nagasari jagong... my gosh, they're simply mouth-watering. nani used to love to wear either kebaya panjang or nyonya kebaya. arwah nenek also wore kebaya pendek. my sis usually buys kebaya pendek and nyonya kebaya for hari raya. i can never wear any kebayas :( i remember watching the old recordings of 'dondang sayang'.....yesterday, saw a lady wore kebaya nyonya. read the sunday times, learning that the nyonya kebaya fashion is in and more people have started to order the nyonya kuehs for cny. kinda obvious that 'little nyonya' has popularised the culture. i hope that the new baba peranakan generation will always appreciate, cherish and continue their beautiful culture. it's a waste if it is only a fad.
was surprised to find out that the chinese actually married the malays in melaka. all this while, i thought that the chinese lived in melaka and adapted to the malay culture. wondered how the malays ate babi ponteh. hehe. not surprising as back then, islamic religion was not widely spread to the malays. but mak and sharifa claimed that most probably the malays were indonesian batak. can be since baju kebaya originates from indonesians. erm, anything la ye.
haha. can't believe that me and my sis actually went to watch them at compass point. well, coincidentally, we did plan to go to compass point due to our cravings of hokkien mee, kway teow, popiah... hee. excuses.
selamat pengantin baru, cik lan and cik mia! :)
