馬中國际風箏交流會 Melaka Kites Festival 2019

Kites are built in different shapes and sizes by a group of senior kite-flyers from China and they assembled on the sands of Pulau Melaka before sunset. Colorful kites are shown to the public last Saturday in the night sky when, the Kota Melaka parliamentarian, YB Khoo Poay Tiong visited these kite-flyers after the maghrib prayer. There are miniature kites less than a foot in length and giant kites almost ten or more feet long and these kites-flyers are interested in kites simply for the fun of flying them, though some kites are designed to serve a purpose, for example to make arts alive.  The 30 meters long dragon is one example of crafting arts for the sky when it was flown last Sunday. Have you ever wonder what keeps a kite up in the air? Kite is light and spread out wide. It has a large surface for the air to hold up and air above the earth is always moving thus forcing kites to float. The kite-flyers are skillful and they could judge the wind flow so th

Rain has come

Rain Has Come Rainfall is great where there are high mountains to trap the moisture borne by the winds from the South China Seas and from the Straits of Melaka. “ Dryness  ”  is the key word in understanding Arabia, the desserts but not for Melaka. Since May 1, 2019 rain measured is only marginal. If heavy rainfall continues, which is expected to do so until November, not only flash floods would replace people homes but the soil would lose most of its fertility. When rain falls in Melaka, there is usually far more than enough to wet the surface or to soak into the soil and the surplus runs off, and eventually works its way to the Straits of Melaka. More importantly, rain falls in Melaka has to cover the Durian Tunggal Dam to which I have visited on May 29 with a kid from Machap Baru. Lotuses everywhere got me fascinated but this kid alerted me that their colonies has shrink due to the receding water level. A Story For The Long-Waited Rain in Melaka Ra

LOCAHOUZ, dine and enjoy in one of Melaka's preserved shophouses

Image
In medium and small size Malaysian towns, Chinese shophouses combine both for commercial and residential uses, they do businesses on the ground floor and lives on the upper floors. A love for close social proximity, good uses of living space, and tolerable to circumstances, the Chinese have formulated both the cultural and economic factors through the close association between commercial and residential uses of space. Melaka is lucky because the Chinese have contributed their architectural styles by introducing fine craftsmanship, and decoration and is evidenced at Locahouz, 8 Jalan Bukit Cina, 75100 Melaka and other Chinese dwellings in Melaka even today. In Locahouz, you can see fine carved details in wood and stone, with gilt, lacquer and porcelain displayed while you enjoy your bites of great food amidst chatting and laughing with your loved ones. Very few such shophouses remained, the Chinese architectural traditions at Locahouz have always been involved with

Now you see how haze can waste your money

First, the news of the cancellation of FIT Malaysia came in yesterday morning due to haze. Next, the news of the cancellation of the Merdeka Community came in this morning, also due to haze. Both the events are supposed to cheer up Malaysian, one on the field of Dataran Pahlawan and the other within the compound of Dataran MBMB (MBMB stand for Majlis Bandaraya Melaka Bersejarah or Historical Melaka City Council) No one expected this.
