if you are familiar with Jonker Street
or at least has been there
you should have remembered
the statute of this boy
seated in an antique shop
somewhere in the middle of the street
the sale team is
surprisingly friendly and helpful
I always have the impression that
well established store like that
tend to ignore patrons like us
especially these who do not look
affluent enough to spend money
at such places
the very eye-catching “chanap” box
an exclusive Strait Chinese ornament for
displaying the candies as offering
during the annual Lunar New Year prayer
3,900 MYR for this one, any one?
another eye-catching item
well in our definition
that kind of dimly-shiny gold paint
is indeed eye-catching
statute of Master Zhong Kui 鐘馗
who is in charge of
catching bad spirit / ghost
my dad is quite crazy over him, though
do I have to explain further?
hmmmm…
there are more upstairs
I like how the staircase was redesigned
as the other houses of the era
have a spiral narrow staircase
usually by the left side
this is way easier to walk
and it created extra space
like the intermediate level
where the chairs are
and for the area above the chairs
where the bedframe is
you actually enter via
another staircase from the back
this pair of pretty babes
my jaw almost dropped
29,000 MYR
life is suddenly slow..
more collections upstairs
the “high-end” items, of course
I jokingly asked if
this is for sale
indeed it is
but quite pricey
I might as well go for my Fixie
oopps.. did I just mention
we should have walked in like
ten years back?
