Mahjong and Cherki were two games that were well loved by the Nyonyas. Mahjong is a game that can be played four players. The objective is to build sets with the tiles.
Nyonya Joo Suan loved to play Mahjong. It was a past time and a way for her to socialize with her sister-in-law and other relatives. She would take a trishaw down the road to Tengkera and play several rounds of Mahjong with the ladies in the household she grew up in.
Cherki is similar to Mahjong but is a simpler and shorter version.
Young Nyonyas were styled in a dress known as Baju Kebaya, which comprises of a lace top usually with motifs that the nyonya would have liked, and a skirt known as a sarong. She would have fastened her top with a brooch known as kerosang (the first piece is called the ibu, and the two other pieces are referred to as the anak). Her hair would be in a bun known as a sanggul with three pins to fasten it.
