It's not just the piece of art that everyone looks at, but the "doodles" around the edges. Ever since the Victorian era ended here in America, I've seen the details on architecture and other art forms as sparse and plain. That's a big complaint I've had.The Zombieslayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00739873812900433755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33158803.post-72391519206550087052008-01-08T09:18:00.000+08:002008-01-08T09:18:00.000+08:00You can view some nonya food that I took at a nony...You can view some nonya food that I took at a nonya and baba restaurant.

I remembered my grandmother put some oranges, dried longan, red dates, and other gifts during my uncle's wedding long time ago. A rooster and hen will be placed on the top tier of the basket accompanied with a pair of coconuts and sugar cane. The rooster and hen are meant to lead the way and the return gift of a rooster and hen from the bride's family will be put under the bridal bed back at the groom’s home. It was believed that the firstborn will be male if the rooster came out first. Nowadays some dont used the rooster and hens anymore. They used red packets (ang pows) to represent it.alicesghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08093018474724459190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33158803.post-68583882015049547012008-01-08T06:08:00.000+08:002008-01-08T06:08:00.000+08:00Beautiful treasures to own.
