Thank you :)

Thanks ;)

It's interesting to know that Vietnam also have this kind of heritage house. I google later. Might Moc one ;) Yes. This unique "long and narrow" house is common in south-east asia. It's a combination of west and east architecture style. Thank you. I am glad that you noticed all the details.

I'm glad that you like it. I like to shoot the picture like making a movie scene rather than like promoting Lego bricks on the Lego box. Check out my other photos in my Flickr account. You might like the way i shoot the photo. Thank you. https://Flickr.com/vincentkiew1973/

I'm glad that you like it. Thanks LOL. Thank you. Thanks Bravo! KInd of poetic right :) Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you! The rickshaw is the replicate of real rickshaw in Malaysia. I'm glad that you like it. Cheers! Thank you so much. Brick on! Thank you. Feeling motivating. ;)

Hello There! Sharing my latest creation. Hope you like it. Cheers! https://flic.kr/s/aHskXKRNbi

Thank you! Thank you! I have been to Paris. Travelling light up my creations. :) Thanks! Thanks! Brick-link is the only way to get thousands of 1x1 tiles. :)

Here you go.... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you all. I feel so motivating and grateful after reading all the lovely comments. Cheers! Thank you. I am so happy that you noticed that. Mocing a house that not only beauty at the out side but also inside is one of my Lego dream. I am so happy that you like it, Cheers!

Thanks guys. Have seen too much serious Star Wars's MOC. Thinking to Moc something fun with Star wars theme so end up with this creation. I'm glad that some of you guys like it. Have fun and brick on.

Long time ago in the galaxy far far away, there is a jedi who meant to be a master that will bring the balance to the force, but he turn to the dark... https://flic.kr/s/aHskVjGeXf

Thanks for all the comments. I am glad that my MOC make you laught out loud, ;p

Moc is meant to be fun. Human and Apes have many similarities. That is the reason why i create the icon star wars character Anakin in ape form. Human is the most intelligent species on the earth. We, human are very ego minded. We always think that we are the owner of the earth so we can occupy and consume all the resources on this Planet without consideration about the safety of other creatures. We have created many problem like global warming and air pollution that might bring this planet to an end. Human have many similarities with other creatures like apes and other mammals. We all feed our next generations with our own milks. The earth is belongs to all creatures on this planet. We must love our earth more and respect other creatures as well.

Hi everyone. I have just summited this Donkey Kong on Lego Ideas few days ago. I have showed many photos about my Donkey Kong Lego Ideas on the following links. Check it out. Many thanks. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/170419

Hello there! My name is Vincent Kiew. I am new here. I would like to share with you all this MOC that I made in 2015. It's a Traditional courtyard house in China. Hope you all like it.

Hi, I am Vincent Kiew from Malaysia. Here is a unique heritage house in our country. I would like to specially explain the history of this LEGO house and my objective of designing it. Hopefully through this, I am able to introduce this cultural heritage house to everyone. ... This type of houses was found way back to end of 19th century before Malaya was formed when we were a colony of British. During that time, houses were built from leaves and tree trunks. In 1882, the 3rdpolitical secretary, Frank A. Swettenham, was involved in rebuilding of the city which is the current capital of Malaysia. During this period, building materials were supplied by British businessmen, whereas, manpower was provided by Kapitan Yap Ah Loy. In 1884, the first four brick houses (next to the house of Yap Ah Loy) were completed. Following year, two hundred and eighteen of similar houses were built. During the same time, most of the wooden houses were destroyed by fire. As such, the colonial government encouraged the people to build brick houses. In 1889, colonial government ordered to demolish all the wooden houses. Since then, there was no more wooden house. Till today, the brick houses can still be found in the capital Kuala Lumpur, northern region in Penang, southern region in Melaka, central region in Ipoh and Muar. Different interior design was found in different region due to the influence of colonial background and the local customs. For example, colour of the brick houses found in Kuala Lumpur, was plain white. Northern region was influenced by the culture of Southern Thailand, whereas, southern region was influenced by the culture of Indonesia. As a result, they were more colourful. Although they all had difference colour, the design of the structure was more or less the same with the main door in the middle, one window on each side of the door. Second floor usually had two or three windows. There was carving on the walls. The significant feature of the houses was their shapes. They were all narrow but long. This feature was very much due to the housing taxes during that period. During that time, the housing taxes were very much depended on the width of the house, regardless of the length. As a result, the people built their houses narrow and long. Most occupants of these houses were the migrants of China. Exterior of the houses were an integration of western and eastern styles of essence. The columns and the wall in front of the houses had the carving of European design, but windows and main door were design of Asian influenced because of the tropical weather in this region. The interior design of the house was very much designed according to the nation of the occupants. If you are visiting Kuala Lumpur, pay attention to the houses in Street Petaling, you will be able to see a few of these houses. Although they are rundown, use your imagination to travel through times. (^-^)/ During World War II in 1939, most of the places in the capital of Malaysia were used as army base and many of the brick houses were destroyed. However, many were kept in good conditions in Penang and Melaka. One of the brick houses belonged to a family of Baba Nyonya located at Jalan Tung Cheng Lock in Melaka, was converted to a Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum in 1985. In 2009, it was visited by the president of China Hu Jintao during his visit to Malaysia. If you have the interest in learning more about heritage, it should be one of the places you should visit. I am sure you will learn a lot about our ancestors. Back to this LEGO model, I had wanted to build a Malaysian house. In order to build a house using LEGO, the door and the roof must resemble the original design. The wall and interiors are similar to many housing designs. It took me a few trials to get the windows right. After some research and study on a few books I bought, I still didn’t have a clue. It was only until I saw an old photo of a house with an open window on the second floor one day, then only I saw the structure of the window. The photo was a picture of people celebrating independent day at the Street Petaling. At that moment, all I wanted was to go home and build the windows (-_^). Besides the windows, another difficult structure to build was the air well. I wanted to know how to build the support of the air well. I wanted to know if there was a door and where was the drainage. It was at this time, when I took my children to Legoland during school holiday, I stopped at the Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum in Melaka to study its structure. Even though the LEGO house that I built was based on the housing design in Kuala Lumpur, the interior decoration and furniture all resembled what was used by Chinese. For example, the red colour bed and the kitchen design were inspired by my visit to the Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum. Thanks to the museum. Sharing you all my little Lego video.
