These are some of the shots taken in Sarakraf Pavilion in Kuching, Sarawak - Gasing, Congkak, Batu Seremban, Catur/Chess etc. I still remember the good old days playing batu seremban together with classmates during recess time during my primary school days. And not forgetting the congkak too...

That was a display set. I dunno whether is there any available for sales or not :)

Haram not necessarily means contain pork, it can mean something that is not accepted by the general population etc
Nothing is missing in the chess set. All the chest pieces are there. U look carefully and u will notice all the pieces are there, intact :)
I don’t have it, how to give u as present? I can give u the photo as present instead :D

Police & Thieves & chasing games, very classic.. Used to play that during primary school days and at times ended up with wounded knees (cos jatuh)
Flying slippers? o.O
Wah…we can still play that, right?
wah..they look so nicely crafted, i never even knew they existed in the first place!! :((
ReplyDeleteI remember those batu seremban days in primary school.. with it, I recall the days of playing skipping rope (two girls holding it and another one jump over or something) and playing with the eraser games. Gosh, these days children are no longer like last time. They are into games, online things, tv etc.

Batu seremban is the ever popular games in the past. Every recess I will gather together with few of my friends at one corner in the class room & started playing the simple yet addictive game :D
