變心

引用 :陳莉敏 QUEENIE blog

變心可以是一剎那的。


某人做了某件事,

觸碰了你某一個點,

你無法接受那一刻的傷害或侵犯,

你無法包容對方引爆的醜陋人性,

也許你還不夠愛對方。


一件事,一個動作,一句話,足已令你變心,令你不再崇拜對方。


變心也可以是漸進的、累積的、


譬如對方長期的猜疑,

長期無理取鬧,

長期侵犯你的私隱,

長期踐踏你的自尊,

或者一次又一次地欺騙你......


剛開始也許你還會傻傻地忍受,默默以愛包容。


可是愛是會被損耗的,

你會懷疑這段關係能否長久,

你會擔心繼續下去會不會浪費心機,蹉跎光陰,

你會失去再愛的動力了,因為你想省點油滋潤自己,


於是,變心就這樣發生了。


當然,變心的誘因有太多太多。



有時候對方對自己太好,太千依百順,十全忠誠也無法抓住你的心......


若對方不求進步,不懂上進,

又或者對方在各方面與你的距離愈來愈遠......

你會不知不覺嫌棄對方......

心會變皆因心儀的藥力退了。


所以女人若想抓著男人的心。


"控制對方" 這招是行不通的,



做一個更棒的女人,天天求進步才是利己又「利愛」的高招。

很好的一篇文章,有经营一段爱情的确不容易。时间久了当然就要求进步,不论是感情,生活,想法或其他。 人生到了不同的阶段,的确需要进步,不能原地踏步。你。。。开始踏上你未来的第一步了吗 ?

Studies of Baba Nyonya


First of all, I want to say that I have not collect alot of research from the Malacca trip last Tuesday, the weather is so hot and we do not know where to have a kick start besides the only place - Museum. So here starts my small research about Peranakan.

Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum not allowed us to take photos so I do some recording. I feel great to visit this museum, there's things that I never see before and I can feel the environment and listen to their history. I curi-curi took some photos. hehe.


#The kitchen


Peranakan and Baba Nyonya in chinese (峇峇娘惹 / baba niang re) are terms used for the descendants of late 15th and 16th-century Chinese immigrants to the Nusantara region during the Colonial era. While the term Peranakan is most commonly used among the ethnic Chinese for those of Chinese descent also known as Straits Chinese (土生華人; named after the Straits Settlements), there are also other, comparatively small Peranakan communities, such as

  • Indian Hindu Peranakans (Chitty)
  • Indian Muslim Peranakans (Jawi Pekan)
  • Peranakans (Kristang = Christians)
  • Cambodian Hokkien (descendents of Hoklo chinese)

And the things that I most interested in Baba Nyonya is their costumes/ clothing.
As what the women in museum told us from the older to the younger generations. Nyonya wears long kebaya and batik sarung with buckles. They do not have zip or button so they use buckle and brooch replace buttons. The next generation wear shorter kebaya for comfortable and the modren generation wear cheong sam, baba wear suits. Generation for now wear more casual like us.

The Peranakan retained most of their ethnic and religious origins (such as ancestor worship), but assimilated the language and culture of the Malays. The Nyonya’s clothing was identical to that of the native Malay’s: baju panjang (long dress), batik sarung (batik wrap-around skirt) and kerongsang (brooch). Beaded slippers called Kasut Manekwere a hand-made made with much skill and patience: strung, beaded and sewn onto canvas with tiny faceted glass beads from Bohemia (present-day Czech Republic). In modern times, glass beads from Japan are preferred. Traditional kasut manek design often have European floral subjects, with colors influenced by Peranakan porcelain and batik sarongs. They were made onto flats or bedroom slippers. But from the 1930s, modern shapes became popular and heels were added.

In Indonesia, the Peranakans develop their own Kebaya, most notably ‘kebaya encim’, and developed their own batik patterns, which incorporate symbols from China.

Nyonya Kebaya is a unique traditional ethnic clothes worn by the Straits Settlement Chinese ladies who are known as nyonyas. The Baba and Nyonya, even though originally are ethnic Chinese, adopt the way of dressing, some cultural practices and also local food in their daily lives.

The main difference of nyonya kebaya from other kebayas is that, the material used for the top is sheer. The material can be gauze cotton, voile or georgette. Since the top is made out of translucent material, it is necessary to wear an inner cotton camisole which is called "anak baju".

The top is embroidered with beautiful motifs with extra emphasize at the collar, the sleeves and the hem of the jacket. The motifs are usually hand-made. As with other craft, machine-made embroidery would not look as good as the hand-made ones.



Indeed, I visited a shop selling handmade nyonya kebaya and shoes. "J manik". I asked some questions to the owner :

Q: what is so special about nyonya kebaya ?
A: All handmade and they do small holes along the lines.

Q: Why all kebaya seems like have floral motifs ?
A: It represents the softness of women and create the lady like feel.

Q: How much for 1 pieces ?
A: The top cost RM350 and we will specially make it for you according to your body.

Q: Are you a nyonya ?
A: Yes, me and my sister.

Q: Is all these made in Malaysia ?
A: Yes, in Melaka.

Q: Do you made all these costumes and beaded shoes ?
A: Yes, we do make the shoes. We sew the manik. (she show me the thing that half done)

Q: Then where you learn all these skills ?
A: From my mama (means Grandmother)

She's so friendly but too bad cant take pictures :( These are some of the pictures from outside.







More to come. Would like to talk about their marriage also. =)
Good night.

Simple night, simple celebration.Is simple but we really feel is sweeter than before, Love bank keep increasing huh. We really thank God to have each other in life. We learn things from each other and grow stronger with God from stage to stages. He is our relationship guidance.
