The words which show on the photo are arranged by using red beans..
in Mandarin it is call 相思豆 (Remembrance bean / love bean)  =P
You might wondering why does it called Remembrance bean / love bean right?

All right, here the story goes:
It is said that long ago there was a man who went off to war. His wife was leaning against a big tree in a high mountain while hoping for her man to return home day and night. Because of her continual longing, she was sobbing under the big tree all the time. After her tears dried, she dropped blood from her eyes without noticing. To everyone's surprise, when the dropped blood fell to the ground, they became red beans. The red beans rooted and then grew into big trees. Soon after, red beans filled the branches and people named them remembrance beans / love beans. Day after day, spring to autumn, the fruits slowly changed into the most beautiful seeds:Love beans.

What a romantic story =)

In folklore, red beans are considered intelligent and lucky. If a boyfriend gives red beans to their girlfriends as presents, it means that they want to make a commitment. When a bride wears red beans on her wrist or neck, it means that she will lead a happy life. If married couples put six red beans that have been sworn upon under each pillow, it is said that the couple will maintain their eternal love.

Hmm, I think I really need to start collecting it now since i can find so much of it from Institute Pengajian Kota Bharu and give it to my dearie... hehehhe
