Celebrating togetherness

I waited and saved for 10 years before i bought my own home.It was inspired by magazines like Country homes and Gardens so the interior design was English chintz and wooden carved furniture,oak cupboard,plaster ceilings and ornate mirrors.Now im proud of my cultural identity as a Malaydian Chinese.i decorate my home as eclectic south east asian n modern scandi furniture.kitchen is japanese minimalist,furniture is sofas,carved gilded chinese side cabinets,porcelain stool,bamboo plants,indian bronze screen,carved wooden mandalas,red chinese quilts,myanmar nagas,wayang kulit,batik waus,blue altar table and japanese alcove tokonoma with stone n paper lantern,chinese ink wash scrolls.im proud of my Asian roots but embrace western designs like L shape sofa,chaise lounge and kopi tiam marble top table. so its LOL when US congressmen grilled Tik Tok CEO Shou Zi Chew who is a Singaporan Chinese of being a patriotic China citizen.Excuse me,do they understand the geopolitical dynamics of SouthEast Asia and East Asia.One has a communist state and the other a democratic state.We share the same Sino DNA but as South East Asian we embrace multiculturalism and diversity of food,languages and lifestyles.Its like the the new Secretary of US defence not being able to name a single member nation of Asean and confusing Asean For Ankus or anti Asian hate directed at Vietnamese,Korean or Japanese or Mongolians coz they all look alike. Here is lunar new year in a chinese neve village with wooden houses,red paper couplets n the kumquat tree with children playing sparklers n lion damcers n drinking F and N green spot orange fizzy drinks,Sarsi and ice cream soda when kuih bangkit n love letters and white rabbit milk sweets are treats.celebrating togetherness is a good tagline.
