The Market Goes French!!!

Coral Dreams and Butterfly Wings

Sounds dreamy and romantic? See Jonathan’s designs and you could be transported to underwater realms and fairy tale places where butterflies reign. Meet him and you will be amazes at his quiet, soft spoken demeanor

Charming Jonathan Yun met me at his no-name studio in Armenian Street. Why has it no name? It’s a question all of us are asking as this young person has certainly made him self a name with his individually crafted, both filigree and bold, semi precious stone studded, and contemporary silver jewelry.

Grandma’s Century Egg Basket

Ronnie Ng, 44, is a Project Executive with a difference. His strong cultural roots and memories of his grandmother’s kitchen have inspired him to start a hobby which is slowly beginning to bring him the relief from stress which he sorely craves.

“I’m from Klang. Mahathir said to look east and I came here to work in the commercial Air conditioning Business. I married here and here I now stay!” says this amazing craft person.

So, does Grandma’s kitchen equate to good cooking skills? No way, Ronnie remembers his grandma hanging the eggs in this cool chicken wire container high above so that the rats could not get at them. He then proceeded to improvise and improve on the century egg basket using galvanized iron wires gauged 10 and 20. This new basket is an easy wash, hang and dry storage system, reminiscent of our past and therefore all the more desirable.

Fête de la Musique !


Conceived in 1982, this event was the brainchild of Maurice Fleuret, the then director of Dance and Music in the French ministry for culture. After a survey stated that one in two French children played an instrument he noted that “The music [was] everywhere and the concert nowhere”. So this gave way to the Fête de la Musique, a huge free concert, for all musicians, whatever their level. 3 years later, the concept had been exported to all European countries. Governments, municipalities, schools and other independent organizations took over the idea and made their own national Fête de la Musique.

Thousands and thousands of concerts will be organized all over the world for this occasion. La Fête de la Musique is THE festival for ALL music lovers. Whatever your age is, which instrument you play, which style of music you like.

Will take place on 23rd and 24th June, yes, two days! It will also tie in with the Little Penang Street Market on 24th June, which promises to be a very exciting partnership. Which can only mean more musicians, more spectators and a bigger Fête de la Musique !
