Beaded Shoes anyone?

Hand beaded shoes are the favourite pass time for all nyonyas. They hand beaded each designs with their favourite motifs and colours and had it made into a shoe / sandals by a shoemaker. And you must know that those tiny beads are from Japan! They say it last longer and tinier and the colours will not fade! Interesting.

Sulam @ Embroidery

I love these intricate embroidery... so fine and delicate. Of course, this is solely hand made with the old domestic sewing machine whereby you get to pedal your way through. These intricate embroidery are mostly seen in Kebaya. The traditional costumes for the Nyonya, peranakan culture.

High Chair

I was looking for some furniture, and I search high and low for it still I couldn't found what I wanted. This piece is close to what I want but far too expensive for my pocket. Unique design to me but I guess in Italy or France this is common?

Design question

Before this building was kind of ugly because of the colour of its roof. Now it has been changed into a brown coloured one, more sensible; which is better than before. It used to be Emerald Green in colour! By the way, this is the place we called the immigration department whereby we get to renew our passport... :)

The Palazzo

Well this is a new condominium which is quite costly; but what I am interested is the facade of this building. It is one of its kind in Penang and it strongly suggest the influences from Taiwan. I have seen some apartment / condominium which looks similar somewhere in Taipei. i wonder who the architect is though.

Antique Chair

An impressive Mother-of-Pearl inlay antique chair with Marble. Guess it's made in the 19th century. These kinds of chairs are still own by a lot of Penangites and place it in their house. Normally they will not sell but will pass it on from generation t o generation; unless if one of the generation are broke then they might sell off to potential buyers.

Precious Tiles?

Some people say it is precious some just neglect it?

Mercedes logo on the wall?

Love these iconic Mercedes logo! Well, it impressed me that they are on the walls serve as a design, and also as a window. Found these in an alleyway, between two buildings. Well hidden!
