Stalls at Jonker Street Night Market, Malacca (Melaka)

The photos in this post are the familiar stalls & shops you will see them every time you visit Jonker Walk (Jalan Hang Jebat) night market at Malacca.
The crowded Jonker Street night market is available on every Friday, Saturday. Sunday & Public Holiday. The culture is unique and created chances for us to visit and for others to survive.

Crowded as normal...

The Masks are fashion!

Don't be surprise, they are selling swords too!

I love to see the way they way did it! It's a good souvenir!

Bottom left : She was demo & explain how the 'Magic' Umbrella works.

History photos, just like a Time Machine when you look at it.

Colourful Sandals & Slippers.

Beside the stalls above selling those unique items, there are also some local foods stalls available along the Jonker Street. Below are some of the photos...

Top left : Famous 'Knock-knock' Candy. You can hear the knocking sound even 150 meters away. It's located close to Geographer Cafe.

There is one very old building which is the Hokkien Association (Hokkien Huay Kuan in Hokkien dialect) located somewhere along the street. I love to see the architecture slowly every time I walk pass. This building has a Karaoke session for the seniors during the night.

The audiences and performers of the night.

Almost at the end of the street, there are some outdoor performance by senior to entertain the visitors and tourist of the night market.

The performers on the stage...

The audiences...

We parked our car just opposite the Fire Station for MYR3.00 per entry. When we wanna leave, there was alarm trigger and the Fire Brigade on ACTION!!

The night market will close on 12 midnight. The stalls will pack everything and the street will be silent after 1am.....

MY TRIPS - Home

Black White Silver

I like to wear outfits with black-white-silver; black-white-grey; black-white-metallic gunmetal. These are my favorite color combination because of giving a edgy look, a cool modern attitude.

I wore black MMMargiela top, white F21 tank underneath, old black pants, silver Burberry pumps.

F21 necklace. I really love this structure MMMargiela top. I could be wrapped in two different ways for two different shoulders looks as you see in those pictures above and the pictures below. The DIY fur cuff that I made it long ago, from left over of my Marni lamb fur jacket.
Last night, the weather in Dallas was very pleasant with beautiful breeze. It's a perfect night to seating outside in the balcony, having cigars and after-dinner drink. My hubby doesn't smoke cigarette but once in awhile he enjoys cigars. We don't usually go out on Sunday night, but last night was exception. We had sweet fun time. This picture just captured our great moment.

Wishing everyone have a pleasant day!!!! and thank you to you all for your time to visit my blog. I truly appreciate it as always.

Big hugs.....Hanh;-)

ps: In the last post, I wore Giorgio Armani sunglasses.

Vacation In A Hotel In The Mill

My friend from Czech Republic turned back from the 2-week vacation they passed in a mill. She sent me these photos and told with great delight about it. A young couple of owners decided to live in the way the millers lived some centuries ago.



Probably they found the only right possibility to manage the property and are young enough to have great wish to play else.
Somebody said that the best teacher etc is that who is younger than 40 years because has the desire to play. Maybe it is not completely right, I think. But...





This couple offers not only many things to do to their guests. They live in a splendid place as you see.
They offer great in all senses plates to eat too.



They, the owners, wear their "special" clothes not only to work with the guests during the day. Even in the morning they had clothes of the epoque.



My friend has a 10 years old son and they were very happy when the owners offered a "strange" game to the children. They,children, had to look for a treasure in the night and found a "water spirit" under the bridge that asked them to give him a piece of cake.



If you want to look at their site search for "Martinský mlýn". I could not open the site unfortunatelly. Maybe I'll add the address next days when my PC has more wish to collaborate.

FAQ

I wore Alaia top, Fallon necklace, Lanvin bag, spring09 Giuseppe limited edition shoes, F21 shorts.

My messy hair and the back details of the blouse. McQueen skull ring.

Karolinka has few questions for me, and I'd like to share my answers for all my fabulous fellow readers because I thought that you all might like to know something more about me.

1. You wear a lot of open shoes, do you take care special way about your foots? Any favourite product or treatment? Answer: I usually don't go to nail salon get pedicure treatment. I like to do it by myself at home because I save a lot of time for that. I just clean them well at shower and apply Neutrogena Heel Moisturizing Treatment. I love this product.
2. What is your favourite nail enamel colours? I've seen you wear black colour few times. Answer: I actually don't wear nail color polish everyday, just like to wear clear polish. I've been wearing black sometimes for fun and for pictures. Black is cool. To be honest, I'm simple and easy about wearing nail polish.
3. I heard this coming season matt enamels (mainly grey color) are in fashion. What do you think about them, will you try them? Answer: I open for anything. I maybe try to wear them for fun. I'm easy and fine either way; wearing nail polish or not.

I hope you all enjoy the post. Thank you very much everyone for visit my blog and sweet comments. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!!!! Big hugs...Hanh ;-)

ps: my secret: when I wear sunglasses for picture that when I don't wear make-up, just lip stick. Please, do not tell anyone about my secret, sh!!!!!

88Tees and CdG

This is what I wore for casual sushi dinner out with my hubby last night. It was Monday night, most the restaurants we like they close. I didn't cook because I still didn't feel great since I'm back home ( today, I feel much more normal..yah..;-). We had 911 babysitter came for our quick dinner. I had no time to think, just graped something to wear. This was it.

I bought the t-shirt on my Honolulu trip at 88Tees store, on Kalakaua avenue. I wore it with F21 shorts, Barney's Co-OP studded boots, Lanvin bag.This CdG dyed jacket is 100% cotton. I don't wear jacket outdoor in hot summer Dallas, but indoor such as stores, restaurants, grocery stores..ect..are super cold, to me. They like to turn on AC to maximum, and I always have jacket with me for those places.

I know, I know..I need to give some of you my answers. Please, give me sometime. ;-) Thank you very much!

Wishing all my fabulous fellow readers a wonderful day!!!! Big hugs...from Hanh!

Home Sweet Home!

Home sweet home!
After 17 days family vacation, it's very nice to be home and lay down on my own bed. It's so funny that I feel like I need post-vacation. Traveling with kids can become chaos, but we had a great fun time. In fact, it's a teamwork and that's great system. I'm very happy about it because we show them the teamwork and we've been building sweet memories for them.

Home sweet home!
I miss you all and miss visiting your blogs. I'm still recovering from jet lag and busy getting ready for my kids to go back to school. When things are loosening up, I'll find time to visit your blogs.

When I walked along Kalakaua street in Honolulu, I saw many performers on the street, and had one performer really get my attention because of his outfit made of newspaper, very cool. It's like a art that I want to have it for my closet decoration.

I also discovered a Japanese store that just sells T-shirts and jeans on Kalakaua avenue called 88 Tees, next to the Prada store. The store played very exciting music and was packed with young Japanese people.

This is the stairway leading to the store. It's very interesting and artistic. Inside the store.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!!!xoxo...Hanh ;-)
