It’s interesting how there are no such things as coincidences in this world. Everything happens for a reason. I had to write 2 earlier blog postings on ‘The Little Nyonya’ (小娘惹) because I felt I had something to contribute to blogosphere. This in turn gave my readers the chance to read them.

After reading them, one of my friends, A, sms-ed me this afternoon. The scriptwriter for ‘The Little Nyonya’ Mr Ang Eng Tee is actually her family friend! So if there are really any plans for a sequel, I know whose door to go knocking at immediately…hehehe.

After all, according to the ’six degrees of separation’ theory by Kevin Bacon, every person in the world is connected to every other person in the world by no more than six people. For me, I’m connected to Mr Ang by a two degree separation only! How much closer can I get?

A also shared with me that her paternal grandmother was a Nyonya with superb culinery skills. Without feeling even a little ashamed (why should I since A & I know each other rather well), I asked if I was soon going to be invited for a tok panjang filled with mouth watering Peranakan dishes.

But her beloved mama had already passed away more than 10 years ago! I think A knew who I was aiming at next (she herself!) As the granddaughter, A lamented that no one in the family was fortunate to be imparted with the superb culinery skills…which means the delectable dishes resulting from the legendary skills have now been lost forever! What a pity! Guess I can only look at the pictures and continue to salivate…
