Antiques

After Penang, we headed to Taiping to visit my mum and aunty. That night we didn't go anywhere but just stayed at home with my mum.

The next morning, I took my mum to the Taiping General Hospital for her blood test. Instead of waiting, we went to visit the Lake Garden, Bukit Larut and the Sentosa Villa. I wanted to get some information from the Bukit Larut office as I plan to make a trip there one day.

Suddenly I recalled what I had read about the Old House Museum in Angeline's blog. But I forgotten about the location so I messaged Angeline. Soon I found it but it was not opened yet.

So I fetched my mum from the hospital and we went for our lunch. Then we headed over to the Old House museum. Entrance fee was just RM5 each.

Of course there are more pictures at my facebook.

I'm glad that I have the above two antiques with me.
The phone belongs to my late FIL while
the iron belongs to my late landlady.

I have the sewing machine too which belongs to my late MIL.

I shall treasure the hands-on antiques.

  2. The antique iron you have is really worth keeping because I think it will make an interesting conversational piece with the younger generation. Hope your mother's blood test is all ok.

  4. My mum has that old sewing machine too. Spoiled but she still keeps it. I never saw her using it at all!

    Remember that old dialing phone. Had it when I were small.

    You must keep your antiques properly. They are priceless!
