Most people just use it as the main entrance to Sungei Wang (but that's actually on the side facing Jalan Sultan Ismail)...and the shops in BB Plaza such as Metrojaya or MPH never seem to be busy but I came across this little jewelery store the other day and was amazed that they were advertising an item in their shop window for...wait for it....put little finger in mouth like Dr. Evil in Austin Powers....
One and a Half Million Ringgit!
Now to me,it looks like a Jade Cabbage.
I know that lots of people in this part of the world like Jade and the special powers such as Good luck,Peace and Wisdom that Jade is said to bring but I think that if you can already afford RM 1,500,000 for a cabbage that you've already had enough good-luck but you may indeed be lacking in wisdom!
I am sure it's negotiable :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I guess it must be a display model. If the mobile vendors can't display a 1000 ringgit mobile phone without faking it - I doubt this one is real :)
ReplyDeleteI have seen the real thing in National Palace Museum, in Taipei, Taiwan last year. This is just a replica of the real Jade Cabbage. Also if you look closely, you can see two insects on it.
