Today before i went to work,i had so much of free time so out of boredom i went to ransack my mum's room.haha.then i came upon a box of clothes.inside contains all her peranakan kebaya.my mum actually bought 4 sets,1 set cost about 300plus,imagine 4 sets costed how much?but i think it is worth it because it has good workmanship.i tried some of it and i think i looked nice,haha.abit like majik also.actually my mum is not a peranakan la,it is my dad.come to think about it,i think my dad's family tree is rather complicated.i saw my dad birthcert and it wrote that my grandpa is actually a dutch.i think the family roots is abit like rojak,mix here and there.but im rather proud to have a peranakan heritage.i love the food especially.very unique.a few dish i particulaly love are babi assam and ayam buakela.my aunt cooked really well but i only get a chance to eat it when its xmas or chinese new year because these dishes require a lot of work.my mum even learnt the making of peranakan beaded shoes.1 pair takes about a few months to sew finish.hehe,im gonna sew one for myself too.i think keeping to the tradition is rather a good thing because now youngsters hardly remember all those little practices.it is always the elders that remind us.i hope i got a chance to find out about my roots,my forefathers and all the people that are related to me but i guess a big sum of capital is needed..
