Hari Raya

WATS up guys, How were your Raya holidays? Hope it’s all good. Wishing all my Muslims friends a ‘Very Happy Raya ‘ hope you guys had all the fun .. Will start off by talking about how important is Ramadan to the Muslims culture. Ramadan it’s actually a religious month where the Muslims fast for a month . There are various pronunciation and spelling for these words .. There are Ramazan , Ramadaan and Ramadhan . In this one month Muslims are not allowed from having any meal and neither have any water. On this month Muslims are taught to be patient. Spiritual, and also includes humility. It’s a time where Muslims fast for the sake of their almighty and moreover to offer additional prayers than usual. During Ramadan Muslims ask forgiveness to past their sins, pray for guidance and help from refraining from everyday evils and to purify themselves through self-restrain and good deeds. Muslims should start fasting from the age they reach puberty. For those who are mentally ill, chronically ill and also the elderly people are exempt from fasting. Pregnant women are also excused from fasting but in a condition they will have to make up for the fast or feed the poor people .

Hari Raya is usually celebrated towards in the end of the year . We are given a few days off that’s the most interesting part that we non – Muslims get a few days off so that we can visit our Muslims friends house to participate in the raya festival . During the raya days the Muslims are suppose to wear their traditional clothing’s for the ladies they are accustomed to wear a baju kurung Or baju kebaya . And for the men they are suppose to wear a baju melayu with a samping on their waist. On this days the children of the house will ask forgivness from the elderly person n they get their duit raya . that’s the nice part of celebrating raya or infact any festivals atleast there is family unity .

The most thing I enjoy during raya celebrations is the FOOD. Because I am a foodie. I love food even though I’m a vegetarian. That doesn’t stop me from eating my favorite raya delicacies . I like the lemang and the kuih –muih that is served during raya . And the rendang (there is vegetarian rendang if you guys are thinking how can I eat non –vege when I just I’m a vege ) especially it taste good with the ketupat or lemang. On the raya day firecrackers is regularly a need especially for the kids .Even though its band they make firecrackers out of bamboo . Firecracker frequently lights up the environment. With the sounds and all it actually completes the celebration I know to many humans out there it maybe air pollution and many people may not agree with me but hey this is a free country we are allowed to give our opinion . Okayzz people tats all I have to share with you guys wish I could share more but I’m running out of information . Hope to post something more interesting soon yeah. Take care people. Have fun .

COLOURS OF MALAYSIA PART 2

Oh god totaly forgot about my second post so soryy everyone.. How you guys doin ?  Talking about “ Colours of Malaysia” actually there’s a lots of things that we should be proud of Malaysia for example our Twin towers OR its known as PETRONAS Twin Towers and its one of the tallest towers in the world . We even have the Kota A Famous a which is located in Melaka which is actually know as bandaraya bersejarah . The twin towers in located at the heart of Kuala lumpur. It has total of 88 floors . And there is a sky bridge connecting between the two towers which is from the 41st floor and the 42nd floor . Which is also called the highest 2nd storey bridge in the world. The bridge Is not actually attached to the main structure but its actually designed to slide In and out to prevent from breaking during heavy strong winds.  So i guess we should value what we have got rather than comparing . Wat say u guys agree ?

TWIN TOWERS UNDER THE NIGHT LIGHTS

The further most Malaysian proudest place is the Kota” A” Famosa. It’s among the oldest surviving European architectural that remains in Asia. Its Located in Malacca which is two hours from Kuala Lumpur. It’s the state of history. A Famosa it’s a fort built by the Portuguese after they conquered Malacca in 1511. Kota ‘A’ Famosa has a complete four tour and the wall of the building has 2.4 meters to 4.5 meters thickness. In 1583 the capital (berkota) was enclosed with seventy guns at all routes. The main motive why the Portuguese wanted the Kota “A” Famosa to be built it’s because they wanted to ward of the attack with their enemies. Time taken for Kota ‘A ‘Famosa to be made was 5 months due to poor labourship. The labors were dying due to starvation. But now this place it’s known as a main tourist attraction in Malacca. And it’s one of the famous place in Malaysia .

This is the 'A' famosa picture .. 

SUNRISE  MOUNTAIN

The additional most signifant place in Malaysia is the Mount Kinabalu which is located at the east Malaysian state which Is known as Sabah. Mount kinabalu is ranked as the 4th tallest mountain in the Malay archipelago. The mountain is actually surrounded by 4500 species of plant, 362 species of birds, and 100 mammalian species identified . Climbers should be all the time guided due to the national park regulations . There starting point is from the stimphone gate which is located 5.5 km from the kinabalu park headquarters. Accommodation is also available in the park itself and also outside the headquarters . Well i haven’t been to Sabah so don’t really know how exactly the mountain looks like but hopefully will plan a trip there soon :) .

The last thing that I want share with my viewers is about my Malaysian Flag. On the Malaysian flag there is a white and red strips. The red strips symbolize courage whereby the white represent purity. The dark blue colour represents unity among the Malaysian citizen. The crescent moon which is on the dark blue canton signify Islam the official religion in Malaysia. The 14 pointed star stand for the 13 states that we have in Malaysia which also includes federal government. The yellow colour represent royalty.  Wookay people thats all for the day . hope to post something interesting really soon .. Till then bye people  and stay good

The most popular Malay food is nasi lemak .
