Wau di Malaysia lebih indah...tenang melihatnya...
Kite flying is a popular traditional pastime in Terengganu, Kedah, Kelantan and Northern Perak especially during harvest time. Apart from the performance and appearance, the sound it makes when flying is considered important as well. There are various types of kites such as wau kuching (cat kite), wau merak (peacock kite), and wau bulan (moon kite). Each kite also comes with a different design and size. The mark of a good kite is one that rises quickly and remains flying, no matter what the whims of the wind may be.The colourful kites are played in the open paddy fields and along the sandy beaches. These places are suitable for flying kites because there are no trees or tall structures around. In fact, the wind blows strongly in these places. Normally, the wau is played after the paddy harvesting seasons or when the fishermen cannot go to fishing due the conditions of the sea. The best time to play the wau is in August and September.
@Terengganu Tourism..
SAS: Jenis2 wau biasa bolehlah dibahagikan seperti Wau Tradisional (wau bulan, wau kucing dan wau jala budi), manakala setiap negeri juga mempunyai wau tradisi masing-masing, misalnya wau puyuh (Kelantan) dan wau merak (Johor) Wau2 di negara barat direka mengikut bentuk bebas seperti bunga, batik dan pelangi, terpulanglah citarasa individu tertentu. Wau ciptaan dihasilkan berasaskan bentuk haiwan seperti burung, rama-rama dan ular.
Mengikut sejarah wau, ianya berasalnya dari China, dimana ianya dijadikan sebagai permainan tradisi rakyat. Lagendanya, diceritakan bermula daripada seorang petani yang tertarik apabila melihat topi bambunya melayang ditiup angin. Maka dari situlah petani tersebut mengguna ideanya untuk menjadikan wau (mungkin nama dia pun wau somthing kot). Permainan itu kemudian diperkenalkan di Malaysia oleh pedagang China berabad dulu (ikut logik lol) dan seterusnya dipopularkan oleh Sultan Melaka kira-kira 500 tahun lalu.
Wau yang dibuat dari buluh (kerangkanya) lebih tahan. Jenis buluh pula diantaranya adalah Buluh duri, Buluh mata rusa dan Buluh pak aur.
Aku menjadi terharu melihatkan design wau2 nie..Masa kecik dulu, aruah bapa aku sempat mengajar aku membuat wau (bagi orang johor, layang2), aku akan cuba skill yang masih aku ingatuntuk membuat wau nie, ntah apa jenis wau, yang aku ingat wau teng2, wau bulan dan wau merak memang pernah aku tengok aruah bapa aku buat. Dulu semasa belajar di luar negara, aku pernah memenangi pertandingan wau (kite competition)..

Live well, love much & laugh often.....
Love is a noble act of self-giving, offering trust, faith, and loyalty. The more you love, the more you lose a part of yourself, yet you don't become less of who you are; you end up being complete with your loved ones. Love is not about finding the right person, but creating a right relationship. It's not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end.Life is filled with happiness, sadness, tears, smiles, laughter and other emotions but when life gets you down, just be strong about it and keep your head up high and have faith in all things in life. Always remember: God is at your side, always.
Think of this quote :- One day you will ask me which is more important, you or my life? And I will say my life, and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.
Your love is a gift that I treasure more with every passing day, As time goes by I find myself discovering more and more reasons to love you. This Valentine's Day, i know its not islamic for those who know the story of a priest namely St Valentine, but I'm thinking about how wonderful it is to have the spirit of love, Valentine Day is just one of those, time to be remembered in one's life. Thank u for everything. I k
To all the rest out there...may every day be Valentines Day for ya all....

Pak Lah era ends on March 31 as Najib steps in as sixth PM
By Leslie Lau
Consultant Editor
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 12 — Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi will clock out from his office in Putrajaya on March 31, a Tuesday, as prime minister, ending a tumultuous period which saw him lead Umno and Barisan Nasional to their best-ever and worst electoral performances.
He will leave office as planned, despite some speculation that he may choose to stay on.
On the day Abdullah clocks out, Datuk Seri Najib Razak will immediately take over as prime minister.
The next day, Wednesday, April 1, Najib will chair his first Cabinet meeting as prime minister.
It will mark the first time in the country's history that a man whose father was also prime minister also makes it to assume the post. Najib's father Tun Abdul Razak Hussein was Malaysia's second prime minister.
"Pak Lah will stand down three days after the end of the Umno general assembly, and hand over the reins to Najib," a source told The Malaysian Insider.
Abdullah and Najib hammered out a deal last year for the smooth transfer of power.
Abdullah will retire as Umno president at the party's general assembly next month. At the same meeting Najib will be officially elected unopposed as the new party president.
"Pak Lah never entertained the idea of going back on his word once he accepted it was the wish of Umno members for leadership change," the source said.
After leading BN to last year's dismal electoral performance, Abdullah immediately came under serious pressure to quit.
Eventually, the collective push came from senior Umno leaders like Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz and former party president Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
Umno leaders are now hoping for Najib to provide stronger leadership to unite the party in the face of a stronger challenge from the Pakatan Rakyat.

Why we close our eyes when kissing...
Recently, scientists have found why we close our eyes when kissing. Kissing is already known to be beneficial to one’s health, but it’s difficult to say how kisses actually influence our health state. Medical professionals argue that kissing in not only pleasure but also an effective remedy against many diseases.Long Kissing and Cardiovascular SystemLong kisses are beneficial to our circulatory system. When kissing, our pulse rate is quickening up to 110 beats per minute. This is a great training for our cardiovascular system.Kissing Prevents Lung DiseaseAfter kissing, the lungs work harder, resulting in 60 inhales per minute compared to regular 20 inhales. Such “ventilation” is a good preventive measure against lung diseases.Kissing and Dental HealthSome dentists believe that kissing is a preventive measure against dental caries. Indeed, kissing stimulates the flow of salvia that eliminates acid coat on the teeth.
PRK BUKIT GANTANG: HARAPAN DAN REALITI
Thursday, February 12, 2009
PRK Parlimen Bukit Gantang akan mengukur dampak kemelut siasah di Perak baru-baru ini kepada BN dan perpaduan serta ketahanannya.PRK ini juga akan menutup episod kepimpinan Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi dalam UMNO, BN dan Kerajaan Malaysia.
Majoriti warga UMNO setempat pula berazam untuk menebus kembali maruah BN menerusi PRK ini kerana Parlimen Bukit Gantang di era pra PRU12 adalah kubu tradisi BN. Tetapi, bagaimanakah kerjasama oleh lain-lain komponen BN, dan bagaimana pula corak sokongan pengundi bukan Melayu?
Sementara itu, banyak pemerhati di Kuala Lumpur menganalisis senario terkini politik Perak sebagai tidak akan memihak kepada BN dalam PRK berkenaan.Sudikah pembesar BN menerima ramalan suram ini secara ikhlas?
Mungkinkah ramalan ini mendorong BN menangani PRK ini menerusi pendekatan yang khusus, bijaksana, komprehensif dan berkesan?

Mini budget on March 10
By LEE YUK PENG
KUALA LUMPUR: Finance Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will table a mini budget aimed at boosting the economy in Parliament on March 10, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Abd Aziz.
Three days have been scheduled for the debate and winding up of the mini budget, which is also the second economic stimulus package.
The tabling of the mini budget encompassing fiscal, monetary and other measures,
will be after the debate on the Royal Address.
“Details of the mini budget, deemed as the highlight of this Parliament meeting, are not known,’’ said Nazri.
The Parliament meeting will start with the Yang di-Pertuan Agung giving his royal address in the Dewan Rakyat on Feb 16.
Papar MP Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rahis Shirlin will deliver the motion of thanks for the royal address, with Kampar MP Datuk Lee Chee Leong seconding it.
The second day will see newly-elected Kuala Terengganu MP Mohd Abdul Wahid Endut taking his oath of office which will raise the number of opposition MPs by one, to 82.
He won the by-election held following the death of the late Deputy Education Minister Datuk Razali Ismail on Nov 28 last year.
Bills listed to be debated in this meeting include the Witness Protection Bill and Judges’ Ethics Committee Bill, where the first reading was last December.
Nazri also said the Special Complaints Commission Bill, which originated from the proposed Independent Police Complaint and Misconduct Commission Bill, was also expected to be tabled at this meeting.
Asked whether the two impending by-elections would affect the sitting, Nazri said it would be business as usual, and added: “This is not something that has never happened before.’’

Selamat kembali ke Sepanyol Capello, Beckham, awas England
11 Feb 2009 10:56AM
MADRID: Kepulangan David Beckham dan Fabio Capello ke Sepanyol bagi pertandingan persahabatan antarabangsa mungkin menjadi peringatan kepada para peminat setempat mengenai kehilangan yang mereka rasakan sejak kedua-duanya meninggalkan Real Madrid pada 2007.
Beckham, yang akan menjangkau usia 34 tahun pada Mei ini, telah menunjukkan prestasi yang baik semasa dipinjamkan ke AC Milan dan mungkin menyamakan rekod Bobby Moore sebanyak 108 penampilan apabila turun mewakili England menentang juara Eropah di Seville hari ini (5 pagi Khamis waktu Malaysia)
Bintang midfield itu, yang dijadualkan akan bersama Milan sehingga bulan depan sebelum pulang ke Los Angeles Galaxy, telah menyatakan beliau mahu terus bersama kelab gergasi Italy itu.
Tetapi kelabnya di Liga Bola Sepak Utama (MLS) di Amerika Syarikat menolak tawaran pertama kelab Italy itu.
Capello dipecat selepas memimpin Real menjuarai Liga Primera tetapi jurulatih dari Italy itu telah membawa England memenangi kesemua empat perlawanan kelayakan Piala Dunia 2010 sejak mengambil alih pasukan tersebut pada lewat 2007.
'Beliau adalah pemain yang amat penting dan saya menyaksikannya bermain satu perlawanan di Milan dan menggantikan Italo Galbiati dan Franco Baldini dalam perlawanan-perlawanan lain,' kata Capello mengenai Beckham.
'Beliau menunjukkan peningkatan permainan dari satu perlawanan ke perlawanan seterusnya.'
Perlawanan hari ini merupakan yang pertama bagi dua negara ini di Sepanyol sejak pertarungan hebat di Bernabeu di Madrid pada November 2004, yang dicemari oleh ejekan berbaur perkauman terhadap pemain-pemain kulit hitam England.
Menteri Luar Sepanyol, Miguel Angel Moratinos, meminta maaf selepas sebahagian daripada 55,000 penonton bertindak keterlaluan dan akibatnya Fifa mengenakan denda AS$87,000 ke atas Persekutuan Bola Sepak Sepanyol (RFEF).
Jurulatih Sepanyol, Vicente del Bosque, berkata beliau tidak menjangka keadaan tersebut berulang di Seville hari ini.
'Jika mahu bercakap tentang negara di mana para pendatang telah dapat bersatu, maka ia adalah Sepanyol,' kata bekas jurulatih Real Madrid itu.
Del Bosque menyertai pemain-pemain muda Barcelona, Gerard Pique dan Sergio Busquets, dalam skuad nasional buat pertama kalinya, yang turut disertai oleh Xavi and Andres Iniesta.
Carles Puyol menarik diri pada saat-saat akhir selepas kapten Barcelona itu mengalami masalah otot dalam perlawanan Liga Primera, di mana pendahului liga itu menundukkan Sporting Gijon 3-1.
Bekas pemain pertahanan Manchester United, Pique, 22 tahun, mungkin mengisi tempat Puyol di bahagian tengah pertahanan bersama-sama dengan pemain Valencia, Raul Albiol.
Pemain midfield, Busquets, 20 tahun, akan mengambil tempat kapten Arsenal, Cesc Fabregas, yang mengalami kecederaan lutut sejak Disember lalu.
Liverpool mempunyai lima pemain dalam skuad Sepanyol, di mana penyerang handalan Fernando Torres dipilih di samping penjaga gawang, Pepe Reina; pemain pertahanan, Alvaro Arbeloa; serta pemain-pemain midfield, Xabi Alonso dan Albert Riera.
Capello tanpa beberapa pemain utama, termasuk pemain-pemain midfield Steven Gerrard dan Joe Cole yang cedera, dan penyerang Manchester United, Wayne Rooney, yang beransur pulih daripada kejang otot pahanya.
Sepanyol memenangi kedua-dua perlawanan persahabatan yang lalu dengan mengalahkan England 1-0 di Manchester pada Februari 2007 dan di Madrid pada 2004.
Kali terakhir England menang ialah di Birmingham pada 2001 apabila menundukkan Sepanyol 3-0. / Reuters

Nizar will vacate residence but not government
Dikirim pada Februari 11, 2009 oleh HermanSamsudeen
Nizar said he was ‘not going to be like a stupid, mad boy staying forever until I am officially evicted’. — Picture by Choo Choy May
By Shannon Teoh
IPOH, Feb 11 (The Malaysian Insider) — Shut out from his office and now operating from the menteri besar’s residence as the seat of his administration, Datuk Seri Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin said today he will soon vacate the last bastion of Pakatan Rakyat’s government in Perak.
But the ousted menteri besar still maintained that his administration is legitimate and can operate from any premises, saying he will leave the official residence “in dignity” at the “golden moment” should an eviction notice be issued.
“I have my own dignity. I am not going to be like a stupid, mad boy staying forever until I am officially evicted,” said Nizar, hinting of moving out in an exclusive interview with The Malaysian Insider at the official residence in Jalan Raja Idris Shah.
The 10th Perak menteri besar has been holding out at the residence with his wife and eight children in what is seen by some quarters as the last stand for democracy in the silver state as the Barisan Nasional has seized other state premises in its Feb 5 takeover, leaving his administration little choice but to turn it into an office and a secretariat.
“I will find the golden opportune time. All my children are studying here, my eldest daughter is about to deliver,” Nizar explained.
“To an extent, this is the last symbol of democracy in this state but we will go beyond that. The symbol will then be the basis of truth and rule of law that we fight for even if we are ripped off of these premises.”
However, Pakatan Rakyat is still studying that move as it could have legal ramifications and interpreted as conceding the government when the coalition files a suit tomorrow to declare the Barisan Nasional government illegal.
“That is the reason we need the best opportune time where it will not be interpreted as conceding,” Nizar countered, insisting that despite giving up the residence, Pakatan Rakat would still consider itself the legal government and operate from a different site.
“This is not a sign of conceding but a symbol of dignity. If there is a letter of eviction, we will respect it if it exists but up to now there has only been a phone call,” he said, disclosing the civil service’s role in the administration change.
The Pasir Panjang assemblyman related how his belongings in the menteri besar’s office had been ransacked and his drawers emptied but the next day, the state secretary “who had shouted at me called me in a humble voice realising he made a mistake”.
Nizar said that according to protocol, an ex-MB should still be highly respected.
“Even though they say I shall now be the ex-menteri besar, at any state function the ex-MB is always there. When I took over, Tajol was there and given due deference,” he said of his predecessor Datuk Seri Tajol Rosli Mohd Ghazali.
“So he called to say that they did not mind if I took my time to vacate the residence and even ‘if you need help to shift, we will bring some lorries and you can even use my house to store your things’,” said Nizar, breaking into laughter.
He added that there was also an order for the Pakatan Rakyat executive councillors to surrender their official cars but those who did found their cars returned the following day.
“I think he realised that he made a mistake because the palace will ask why did you humiliate the ex-MB who I appointed and gave a Datuk Seri?”
As such, Nizar said that while “this residence can be snatched anytime” by Barisan Nasional, he does not believe it would happen “because it will be damaging not just for Umno, but the palace”.
“If not, they could have smashed the 10,000 during the ceramah on Sunday night. They could have just thrown a Molotov cocktail and created havoc.
“I think it will increase the respect for us from the public and they will join us to reclaim what has been robbed,” he said.
In a related decision, the Pakatan Rakyat executive councillors will also leave their official cars unused at the official residence.

IPOH, Feb 11 (The Malaysian Insider) — Shut out from his office and now operating from the menteri besar’s residence as the seat of his administration, Datuk Seri Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin said today he will soon vacate the last bastion of Pakatan Rakyat’s government in Perak.
But the ousted menteri besar still maintained that his administration is legitimate and can operate from any premises, saying he will leave the official residence “in dignity” at the “golden moment” should an eviction notice be issued.
“I have my own dignity. I am not going to be like a stupid, mad boy staying forever until I am officially evicted,” said Nizar, hinting of moving out in an exclusive interview with The Malaysian Insider at the official residence in Jalan Raja Idris Shah.
The 10th Perak menteri besar has been holding out at the residence with his wife and eight children in what is seen by some quarters as the last stand for democracy in the silver state as the Barisan Nasional has seized other state premises in its Feb 5 takeover, leaving his administration little choice but to turn it into an office and a secretariat.
“I will find the golden opportune time. All my children are studying here, my eldest daughter is about to deliver,” Nizar explained.
“To an extent, this is the last symbol of democracy in this state but we will go beyond that. The symbol will then be the basis of truth and rule of law that we fight for even if we are ripped off of these premises.”
However, Pakatan Rakyat is still studying that move as it could have legal ramifications and interpreted as conceding the government when the coalition files a suit tomorrow to declare the Barisan Nasional government illegal.
“That is the reason we need the best opportune time where it will not be interpreted as conceding,” Nizar countered, insisting that despite giving up the residence, Pakatan Rakat would still consider itself the legal government and operate from a different site.
“This is not a sign of conceding but a symbol of dignity. If there is a letter of eviction, we will respect it if it exists but up to now there has only been a phone call,” he said, disclosing the civil service’s role in the administration change.

“I think it will increase the respect for us from the public and they will join us to reclaim what has been robbed,” he said.
In a related decision, the Pakatan Rakyat executive councillors will also leave their official cars unused at the official residence.
According to Nga Kor Ming, an executive councillor and Perak DAP secretary, the decision was taken to rebut claims by Barisan Nasional that the Pakatan Rakyat executive councillors were being greedy and selfish by holding onto the Toyota Camrys.
He explained the Pakatan Rakyat executive councillors would no longer use the cars to show they are not greedy for the newly-purchased vehicles but that they would not surrender them to Barisan Nasional either.
“All exco members are ready to release the vehicles but if we surrender them it can be viewed by the court as conceding the government.
“These are state assets and symbolise that we are still the legitimate government,” Nga said.

KUASA RAKYAT AKAN DITUNJUKKAN DI NEGERI PERAK
Allyaharham Tuan Haji Roslan Shaharom, Ahli Parlimen Bukit Gantang (PAS) telah meninggal dunia sebentar tadi. Berita yang saya terima mengatakan bahawa beliau meninggal dunia di stesen minyak Petronas di pekan Batu Gajah semasa berseorangan sedang menunggu keretanya dibasuh. Malam tadi, semasa perhimpunan rakyat di kediaman rasmi Menteri Besar Perak, beliau kelihatan seperti biasa, bergurau berjenaka bersama rakan-rakan yang lain.
Allahyarham merupakan Pengerusi Yayasan Negeri Perak.
Inilah kuasa Allah swt, rakyat negeri Perak akan menunjukkan kuasa mereka dalam PRK 059 nanti.
Al Fatihah.
