9Some of us had grown up eating from these type of blue and white porcelain plates but had no idea why it is design like these. There are some even saw these kind of plates being used in hawker centers or food courts where famous dishes like char kuey teow are being served on top of them.   Let me tell you the story behind these plates, so you don't need to dig thru the whole library of webpages to find it. These plates are known as rice gran plates or ling long plates which is a common name called back in China which stands for exquisite. These plates originated from Jingdezhen, which is known as the porcelain capital for China.

Konica Autoreflex T2 is not really a popular camera in the past unlike Canon or Nikon. One feature of this camera which I like the most is the solid metal finishing.

Hexanon lens are known for it's quality and sharpness.  Camera like this are less expensive compared to Nikon F2, Nikon FE and Canon A1.

This is one of the cons of the camera plus it is super heavy too.   The camera is so crafted well until it looks like a leica

This fan was originally bought in 1946 right after world war 2, when my great grandma bought the shop. I believe that time, after the war broke out, many of the shops when through renovations and many of them were rebuilt back again. So that is how I predict the age and the year of this fan. This fan is placed in the living room upstairs of the old shop. Having a ceiling fan like this was really a luxury in the past, as many couldn't afford it. The most common brand ceiling fan in the 40s were GEC fan. USHA is a cheaper version of the GEC fan as it is made in India. The quality of the USHA fan is as good as the quality of the GEC fan. This fan ball bearing have not been changed for about 40 years and it is still in good working condition. The fan can still spin at max speed without making any noise. Whereas for the fan regulator, a GEC regulator was being used to replace the old USHA regulator. After searching in the store room at the old shop, I found this old regulato
