Art - Kasut Manek


" Timeless objects of beauty "


The Peranakan retained most of their unique beauty of thier religious origins .Nyonya clothing style is type of a unique label for Baba Nyonya culture as a elegant costume.One of the items i pick to share it here is Kasut Manek also known as Peranakan Beaded Slippers .Kasut Manek is a type of show that dates back to early twentieth century .Usually, Nonya dress, at the annual Peranakan convention is almost inevitably accompanied by the Kasut Manek .Kasut Manek were a hand-made made with much skill and patience: strung, beaded and sewn onto canvas with tiny faceted glass beads from Bohemia. In modern times, glass beads from Japan are preferred. Traditional kasut manek design often have European floral subjects,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. Not surprisingly, crafting a well-made pair of beaded slippers was a time consuming affair, and the ‘face’ for each pair could take several months to complete. The maker had to possess an infinite amount of patience and perseverance, a steady hand, good eyesight and of course a flair for aesthetic creativity.” I found a interesting site that teaching us how to do Kasut Manek with a clear explanation. [HERE] .

By the way,There are 2 versions of beads used. There is the bigger and rougher beads which actually makes beautiful kasut manek. But ,most of the nyonya, they usually go for the more expensive kasut manik which comes with fine beads. And when put side by side, the difference of the 2 shoes are striking.

Today Watch- Where is The Love? By Black Eyed Peas


What's wrong with the world mama?
People living like aint got no mamas
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And if you hatin you're bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
You gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the love2x)

It just ain't the same all ways have changed
New days are strange is the world the insane?
If love and peace so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering
As the youth die young
So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
With this world that we living in
People keep on giving in
Makin wrong decisions
Only visions of them livin and
Not respecting each other
Deny thy brother
The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know truth
Then you never know love
Where's the love y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the truth y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the love y'all?

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father father father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the lovex2)

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm getting older y'all people get colder
Most of us only care about money makin
Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema
Whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down
It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under
I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(fade)

Looking in your eyes I see a paradise
This world that I found is too good to be true
Standing here beside you, want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I'm feeling for you

Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care 'bout that
Put your hand in my hand baby, don't ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby, we can make it if we're heart to heart

And we can build this dream together,
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers,
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us,
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Woh woh oh

I'm so glad I found you, I'm not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes, I will stay here with you
Take it to the good times, see it through the bad times
Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do

Let 'em say we're crazy, what do they know
Put your arms around me baby, don't ever let go
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby, we can make it if we're heart to heart

And we can build this dream together,
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers,
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us,
Nothing's gonna stop us

Ooh, all that I need is you,
All that I ever need

Today Watch-三個字 by 凌加峻


你日日笑得這麽燦爛我怎捨得你喊
做小丑我都願意 爲了搏紅顔一笑

從來沒有這麽想一件事原來有這麽一件事
才值得我們留戀 今天為你死都可以

從前有那三個字天天講你知 雖然沒新意但有意思
我儲埋儲埋這麽多詩句 我只想你可以跟我一起笑
從前那三個字 人人都鐘意
好不可思議 但是又有幾個人真正明白
那意思我只知道我只想你快樂

趁住人多多講講心裏話 咁先至值回票價
從此得你知我 任何事都不會怕
從來沒有 這麽想一件事
原來有這麽一件事 才值得我們留戀
今天真的為你死都可以

從前有那三個字天天講你知 雖然沒新意但有意思
我儲埋儲埋這麽多詩句 我只想你可以跟我一起笑
從前那三個字 人人都鐘意
好不可思議 但是又有幾個人真正明白
那意思我只知道我只想你快樂

Repeat

就算今天不再闖過昨日 我怎麽講都無謂
就算今天不再闖過昨日 我願意等下去
再等下去 再等下去

從前有那三個字天天講你知 雖然沒新意但有意思
我儲埋儲埋這麽多詩句 我只想你可以跟我一起笑
從前那三個字 人人都鐘意
好不可思議 但是又有幾個人真正明白
那意思我只知道我只想你快樂
我只想你快樂

Today watch-Need You Now by Lady Antebellum


Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
Reachin for the phone cause I can't fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now

woah woaaah.

Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothin at all

It's a quarter after one I'm all alone and I need you now

And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I need you now

And I don't know how I can do without

I just need you now

I just need you now

Ooo, baby, I need you now

Oh woooah, oh woooooah, oh wooooah, oh.
You know you love me, I know you care,

You are my love, you are my heart
and we will never ever ever be apart.
Are we an item? girl quit playing,

Said there’s another, look right in my eyes,

And I was like…

Baby, baby, baby oooooh,

Thought you’d always be mine, mine (repeat)

I buy you anything, I buy you any ring,

I’m going down down down down
and I just can’t believe my first love won’t be around.
And I’m like…
[Chorus]
[Ludacris]
Luda, When I was 13 I had my first love,
there was nobody that compared to my baby
and nobody came between us, no-one could ever come above
She had me going crazy, oh I was star-struck,
she woke me up daily, don’t need no Starbucks.
lyrics courtesy of killerhiphop.com
She made my heart pound, I skip a beat when I see her in the street and
at school on the playground but I really wanna see her on the weekend.
She knows she got me dazing coz she was so amazing
and now my heart is breaking but I just keep on saying….
[Chorus]
Now I’m gone,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
now I’m all gone.
Gone, gone, gone, gone, I’m gone.
