#TanahAirku @ KLCC

Yeah... so finally we have visited the gallery that we wont walk in by ourselves.

As you can see, Utarian has occupied the escalator =.=

For the first question, why the exhibition titled as #tanahairku, because the want to remind Malaysian that Malaysia is still our home, many memories we have left where the place we grown up, and also let the foreigners know this is how Malaysian grew up in 3 ethnics country. I think this is an appropriate title for the exhibition, as the exhibition has shown the kopitiam/mamak store, the classroom, the public phone and road sign board with those annoying stickers, all this things really demonstrated what is Malaysia, and YES! this is my home my country! 

Actually that's many objects that evoke my sense of Nostalgia, such as the congkak, the black & white chess, and the cabinet (inside the kopitiam), but I choose the classroom, I feel it's significant to me. Although the classroom design is quite old, the times table behind the exercise book, crayon, the louver window.... really recall my primary school memories, we have duty every week, doodled the black broad... I really wish there's a time machine can bring back to the past, meet someone I won't meet again, to experience again what am I thinking that time.

Because i'm from Chinese independent school, I've no chance to wear this SMK uniform. Thanks for this exhibition to let me experienced and now I know how I looked like when I wearing this uniform >.<

The Time Capsule

As a Malaysian, if I have the opportunity to propose contributing 1 item to this time capsule, i will choose a lantern that made by aluminum can, and this lantern was made by my grandma when I was a little girl.

As a 90's, which also a Chinese, we do celebrate lantern festival or a.k.a moon cake festival with friends and neighbors and we'll placing around the candles or bringing our lantern to walk around in our Taman (feel memorable ^_^ ).

The reason I choose the aluminum lantern is because when was a little kid, my grandma often made it and I was sitting beside her to observe that how she made it (Indeed my grandma is a very patient woman). While during the moon cake festival, our Taman have organised a DIY lantern competition, so we used the aluminum lantern in the competition, lastly we won the 1st prize (or 2nd... whatever...), we get a big prize which is a chinese tea set, I was so happy at that moment and this the very first big award in my entire life, it's really unforgettable.

Aluminum can Lantern made by my grandma 

The another reason I choose this is because it is aluminum, it won't get rusty, and it can still remain the shape. After 100 years when I opened it (if I can) it can helps me recall that this is made by my grandma (I proud to be her granddaughter) and this remind me that actually happiness can be very simple.
