Nyonya of the Peranakan Bead Work

Found an interesting bead group today. Their website has loads of information on the Peranakan Nyonya and what exites me most -- they BEAD!!!! They make beaded shoes. Their URL is http://peranakan.web1000.com/page4.htm

Wish I could copy paste a picture of the beaded shoes here unfortunately they are restricted. Maybe I will try doing my own and post the results here later. Would you think I'll be successful?

MN 713 (Malay Section) SCORPION ) and sailed the South China Sea to the Borneo and surrounding areas. I was handling the telegraph machine, that was my job. It was the during the World War II. ( The Japanese started to raid South East Asia December 1941 thru Songkla and Patani Siam, then Thailand, followed by Malaya thru Kota Bharu. From January to February 1942, heavy war between the Japanese and British over Singapore resulting in the British surrender. ) Then our ship was bombed by the Japanese . That caused a large hole on the ship and ship began to capsize. I was with two other ship personnel - Chinese. They were cooks. We jumped ship, and swam. ( 13/02/42 M.P.K. SHIP LOSS ) Then we made it into a sampan and got away . We made it to Padang of Sumatera. Then the Japanese found us and we were captured. ( True account of HMS Scorpion is that it was attacked by Japanes...

But my glucose level was 7.3, that makes me a pre-diabetic person. What was that? Pre-diabetic? Well that means in Malay "disyaki kencing manis." That was in November last year.

Charting the Course: Malaysia's Roadmap to a Circular REE Economy 🗺️

Image
We've covered the compelling "why" (the $2.8 billion market opportunity and environmental imperative) in Part 1 and the innovative "how" (the hybrid recycling technology ) in Part 2 . In Part 3 , we broke down the powerful financial advantages of Rare Earth Element (REE) recycling over traditional mining. Now, it's time for the "what next"—a clear, phased roadmap to bring this strategic vision to life in Malaysia. Building a facility of this significance requires a structured approach that aligns technological readiness with regulatory support, financial backing, and community engagement. The Phased Implementation Roadmap Our strategic plan outlines four critical phases for establishing a robust REE recycling facility: Phase 1: Feasibility & Design 🏗️ This initial phase focuses on deep-dive feasibility studies , detailed engineering design , and crucial technology selection . It's about laying a solid foundation. A key component here i...
