The Little Nyonya
I've been watching this Singapore's drama-The Little Nyonya(小娘惹) recently, this drama is a 34-episode drama serial which debuted on 25 November 2008 in Singapore *and now only I watch it..outdate hor..haha..*
Well, the story begins from the 1930s, spanning over 70 years till modern day. This drama was taken in Penang and Malacca as a part of the series..and is all about the "Peranakan family"
Here I'm gonna tell a little about "Peranakan" :
-Peranakan or named as Baba-Nyonya are terms used for the descendants of late 18th century chinese immigrants to the Nusantara region during the Colonial era. It applies especially to the ethnic Chinese populations of the British Straits Settlements of Malaya and the Dutch-controlled island of Java and other locations, who have adopted partially or in full Malay customs to be somewhat assimilated into the local communities.- *ahem..ahem..this phrase I adopted from Wikipedia la..and I get to their cultures more..not bad right??? hey..is really really interesting..*
Lastly, what I can said is "Best show ever!!!!" Guys, must catch up soon~~and I definetely gonna continue this drama tomorrow..woohoo~~Good night everyone..
