Lil Nyonya? or Little Nyonya?

Hey guys, another day at practice but i'm alone here since all the dancers all go for Maths camp hahaha LONER! Just showed Cikgu Govin the complicated one he said it was good so hopefully one hour is sufficient today from 4-5 =)

So i've been re-watching this (in picture) lately



( Xiao Niang Re which is also known as The Little Nyonya )

As you can see from the picture i only reached up to 3 episodes on Youtube Joce reached episode 16 lo (so far away hahaha) But at least i watch finish in AEC already so yea

Anyways this has been my companion for 2 hours..



Yes, my trusty yet laggy laptop with my cacat earphone and my wireless mouse =)

At approximately after 2 hours this is me



BORED so yea i camwhored but only two pictures so yea couldn't make the bored face so i used the dazed face

So from the show i learn this two words ( though i've forgotten how to read it but i remember what it means )



( The thing was side ways so i had to take the picture side ways also ) The 2 words put together means to remember your ancestors and to never lupa diri and your family

Oh Gonna give you the full review hahaha SPOILER! (Joce, if you're reading this stop reading after this =) lol ) Ok,The movie stars Jeanette Aw ( or is it Au? ) as 2 characters- a mum and her own daughter She acts as Ju Xiang who is both deaf and mute yet she is good at lip-reading and has good culinary skills She is then forced to marry a abuser ( Charlie Zhang ) who would normally torcher girls who are virgins and stuff like that but she managed to escape with the help of a Japanese man whom she marries later

The husband left her as he had army duties to pursue and she waited for him after day and night, waiting outside the studio (which is the house) every night in hopes that he would come back As she waits, she is pregnant and later bores a child (which after she grows up she look exactly like the mum la) without the help of a bidan (midwife)

She then meets a kind gentleman by the name of Chen Sheng ( If i'm not mistaken ) and the guy falls in love with her but she did not know that.. One day, her husband comes back and they were reunited.. As the Japanese were attacking, Chen Sheng help Ju Xiang and her daughter escape but not the husband because the husband wanted to stay back

Ju Xiang was relunctant to leave but was knocked off by her husband and she was boarded on the ship to England with her old family (which didn't want her anymore as she married a Japanese and other reasons) She wanted to leave so bad that her daughter and her went out to ask the captain to stop the ship but on the way to the captain's cabin she met with her Stepmother (is it considered as one?)

Anyways, the stepmother and her daughter brought Ju Xiang and her daughter ( Yue Niang ) to the back of the ship and shoved both of them into the sea.. The two floated back to the shores of their home and Ju Xiang went back to find the husband They reunited again and was happy for now

When the Japanese attacked, Ju Xiang and her family decided to hide away from the Japanese in a old warehouse Unfortunately, the Japanese managed to find them and Ju Xiang was forced to cook for the General.. After she cooked, she was almost raped but she did not but she suffered great pain after being thrown to the floor and hitting the bench beside her

After her husband manage to kill the General, they tried to escape once again but was caught by the Japanese.. The husband asked Ju Xiang to leave with her daughter ( or at least go into hiding la) The husband later was killed and Ju Xiang died in the end also due to internal bleeding She left Yue Niang a Kam Cheng ( which is like a pot which is to put the marriage dumplings ) And also the address to the Huang's house ( The stepmother's family )

Yue Niang carried her mother's corpse and asked for her father's corpse from the Japanese and later had a burial for them She then went off to the location that the mother gave her She found he house and there were only 2 people there- Her grandma and the loyal maid, Tao Jie

She learned culinary skills for a number years until she became a teen ( i think ) After she grew up and the war was over, the Huang family came back to the house and saw her.. They were shocked and wanted to ask her to leave but they compromised and said that Yue Niang will be like the mother- that means to serve the Huang family as a maid

In the house, many things happened and sooner or later she meets a man whom she falls in love with in the end It was Chen Xi- one of the most famous rich family's grandson, he (according to the story) was handsome and smart so yea

Tian Lan ( Yue Niang's grandmother) later dies after seeing Xiu Juan ( Cousin of Huang family) and Xiu Juan's brother-in-law have an affair.. She was accidentally pushed out of the window when the guy ( Jin Cheng ) tried to quiet her down

Yue Niang ( who was out of the house ) didn't know this but sooner or later did and went to Huang family for her grandmother's corpse They were relunctant but later did gave her the body of her grandmother

As the story goes along, Yue Niang meets with Liu Yi Dao, a pig butcher.. He is harsh yet has filial piety towards his mum.. They were asked many times to marry by Liu Yi Dao's mum and many times Yue Niang rejected but later she marries him after her heartbreak by Chen Xi

They got married but they took each other as abang and adik angkat la then they like worked together and made a living Sooner or later she meets with an ang mo ( Paul )and marries him lo

Oh before all this happy happy ending thingy, there's a sad, pitiful and touching part- Xiu Fen ( who is Xiu Juan's older sister ) had 3 children- 2 girls and a boy One is called Alexandra ( the guy ), and i forgot the other two girls' name aii Emm anyways, the two girls fall in love with Chen Xi then the older sister like keep sabotaging her younger sister's chances of marrying Chen Xi

Her younger sister was then raped and was forced to marry Charlie Zhang's son- Robert Zhang.. She was torchered and finally pregnant (due to being rape i guess) and later she became a lil loco as she was like treated as a prostitute by her husband-having her to sleep with one of the business partners and stuff like that

While on the other hand, the older sister was married to Chen Xi but her fate was like her aunty ( Mei Yu ) who was like married over to the Chen family without the will of the husband la So yea apparently the whole story is like that la (something like that) I miss out a lot of details so watch it and you'll understand more!
