Herita9e Preservation: The Resplendent GlortJ
Aida used to love watching her grandmother and her aunt doing the 'tekat benang emas' or
gold thread embroidery during her weekly visits to her house. She began to show interest in the
craft although she knew that the craft work needed patience and perseverance before a design
could be completed.
As Aida grew older, her passion for the craft also grew. She started working with simple
designs. Aida had to be cautious when doing the task because of the expensive materials used in
the embroidery work. She would focus on her work so every strand of the thread must be carefully
woven. After painstakingly running the needle through the material and delicately smoothing the
gold thread for weeks, the completed piece looked silky and shiny. The gold thread gleamed in
vivid contrast against the bright velvet, the fabric normally used as based of the embroidery, giving
self-satisfaction to the embroider.
After her SPM, Aida, together with her aunt, has been involved in the craft business full time.
They now own a shop aptly called The Resplendent Glory, referring to the gold as well as flowers
chosen for motifs. They sell small souvenirs and take orders for wedding packages. Aida has also
started giving demonstrations and workshops to visitors who wish to learn the basic skills of the
handicraft. Doing the crafts on their own lets them understand and experience the tedious process.
In addition, Aida also trains any individuals who wish to be skilful in the craft.
In Malaysia, this 'tekat emas' craft is a unique tradition in Kuala Kangsar, the royal town
in Perak. For the future, Aida hopes that more steps should be taken in preserving the heritage
involving the craft.

A Dream Comes True ------ \���

��
Jon has always loves music. His parents noticed his interest and he was sent to learn music
at an early age. At seven, he was able to play the piano quite well. Now as a teenager, he is able \ .,
to play the guitar and a drum, too. At school, he is a well-known boy because he has often been
called either to perform on his own or to provide accompanying music for his friends' songs.
Although Jon is a good student, he has the habit of drumming his fingers most of the time. l
I'...
It can be annoying to some of his friends and teachers, especially his Mathematics teacher Puan
Maznah. She often calls out, "Jon, please stop drumming your fingers!" To Jon, music is his passion.
It allows him to escape into a world of his own and sometimes, Jon is actually trying to compose his
own music.
Every day, after completing his homework and doing some revisions, Jon usually plays the
piano and his guitar. A few friends will come and stay just to listen to him playing the instruments.
Some of them can play the guitars, too. Jon hopes that there will be a teacher who has music interest
like him so they can start to form a music club. He has heard that some schools have music clubs
which members learn to play traditional music instruments like 'kompang' and 'gamelan' or 'cak
lempong'. Having the club will help students to enhance their musical talents and hone their skills
in playing an instrument.
Last Monday, Jon felt so bored and sleepy. It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon so he
closed his eyes and slipped into a reverie where everyone in the class was playing a music instrument
or singing songs. He was so lost in his dream that he did not hear Mrs. Kavitha was actually talking
to him, "Hello, Earth to Jon... " Laughter filled the room and Jon could feel all eyes were on him. He
felt so guilty that he kept apologising to Mrs. Kavitha. Luckily, she was in a good mood. He escaped
punishment that day, instead he became topic of the lesson during the last few minutes before class
was dismissed. Mrs. Kavitha asked the class about a number of idiomatic expressions which they
had to form sentences with.
As she was leaving the class, Mrs. Kavitha told Jon that the Principal wished to see him
after school. Jon wondered whether the teachers thought he was really a nuisance and reported
his behaviour in class to her. It turned out that she wanted Jon to help Puan Norlida, the teacher
advisor for The Arts and Culture Club of the school. She has proposed for a 'Kompang' group so
the school can get the group to perform during special functions. He would be a member as well as
t' the person in charge of the group because of his music knowledge. He was so overjoyed that he
nearly shouted before he realised he was in front of the Principal. It looked like somehow his dream
r had turned out to be a reality!
Now, the 'kompang' group is often invited to perform at other schools and also for wedding
t<>.

Now Everyone Can Fly!

It was Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, the entrepreneur who first introduced the budget
no-frills airline into the country. In 2001, at the age of 37, Fernandes made his move into
airlines by snapping up AirAsia, an existing Government-owned airline that had run up large
debts. The price? One ringgit!
Tony Fernandes had his own childhood dream. After his graduation from the London
School of Economics, he worked for Richard Branson, the owner of Virgin Group in which an
airline industry was also part of its company.
Determined to succeed, Fernandes had no qualm in investing his money into the
ailing airline. He said that it was all about ideas, passion and implementation. Rebranding
the name, clever marketing and making use of digital technologies were among successful
strategies to promote the airline. Starting with domestic flights, AirAsia has now spread into
international destinations. AirAsia Xis a long-haul budget airline dealing with ticket flights to
United States of America, Australia, Europe and Asian countries. It has grown into a leading
low-cost carrier in the South East Asia region, serving various destinations in countries all
over the world.
Indeed, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes as the CEO has moulded AirAsia into one of the biggest
business success stories. Using the tagline, 'Now everyone can fly!', it provides opportunities
for people to get cheap, affordable flights to any destination of their dreams.

Love or Hate?
I have read about a certain old man being interviewed that none of his eight children
ever come to visit him. Another paralysed old woman was left at a budget hotel where the
staff there had been more caring than her own relatives. There are many others staying in
old folks' home around the country with similar predicament. Apparently, it is a fact that a
number of these elderly people have been abandoned by their own children who think it is
troublesome in carrying out their obligation.
Most elderly people who are sick or bedridden definitely cannot manage themselves.
They need personal care and attention which cannot be provided by working children. After
some time, children will feel that it is a burden to them especially if they have been working
the whole day. Yet, they do not earn enough to hire a maid or a caretaker and the old folks'
institution can be the best solution. At least, someone there should be able to care for the
elderly person.
Some old people are simply fussy or just being difficult. They cannot get along with
everyone and argue over nothing. Understanding children may not have any qualms about
this issue but other sensitive members of the family can get irritated. A solution needs to be
found and old folks' home seems to help in solving the problem.
However, some children just think that it is pay back time. Some of the old folks' residents
had been bad parents who had neglected their children. Thus, there is nothing that bonds
them together. Poverty and attitude can be cited as reasons why these people have been
abandoned but I think an important fact to be considered is the lack of love. When love is
missing in the relationship between those children and the parents, there will be no guilt,
sympathy or any sense of responsibility. Love forms a life-time bonding between children
and parents for them to go through difficult phases accordingly. These loving people usually
have great patience in putting up with any bad situation till the end comes for them to say
goodbye.

Fitness Coach 'Copy Cathy'

Katijah was still in school when the reality show 'The Biggest Loser' made its debut. It
became one of her favourite programmes to watch and she enjoyed watching the two trainers,
Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels. Although she was more on the plump side rather than obese,
Katijah became inspired in eating healthy food and doing the work-outs.
At school, Katijah started to get involved in sports. She worked her way to be one of
the top 20 finishers in the cross country event at school and showed her talent in becoming a
goal-shooter in netball. As she began to lose her fat, she took part in more track events.
Her good performance in sports enabled Katijah to further her studies in Sports Science.
During her last year at the university, she shared her past experiences when she was at school
on social media. Calling herself 'Copy Cathy', her intention was asking the young people with
similar problems as hers to follow her ways. Besides sharing personal experiences, Katijah also
shared healthy menus and fitness tips. Within six months, 'Copy Cathy' had gathered almost
ten thousands followers!
Now, Katijah is working at a famous gymnasium as a fitness coach. She helps individuals
who come to the Fit Forever Gym either to lose weight or just to train them to exercise the
right way. Quite a number of them know that she is 'Copy Cathy' and want her to continue
making more videos that would encourage other people to achieve their goals.
Katijah really loves her job as she gets to meet people from all walks of life. Her working
hours are flexible and she has the advantage to workout anytime she wants. She hopes to gain
more working experience before venturing out as a personal trainer on her own. Her dream?
Definitely to have her own fitness studio.

( The Unsung Heroes

Aunt Kalsum is my neighbour who is active in joining clean-up programmes. Every first Sunday of the
month, she and her friends, together with some other volunteers will be at beaches where the organiser has
decided to carry out the work.
"Aunt Kalsum, may my friends and I join you for the clean-up programme this weekend?" I asked her.
"Of course, Sheila. We would be glad to have as many volunteers as we can. This Sunday we'll be
going to Pantai Merdeka in Sungai Petani. It's quite far so I think you and your friends need permission from
your parents first," she replied.
"Alright, I'll tell my friends about it. How do we go to the place?" I asked again.
"Not to worry. We always carpool. Just confirm the number of your friends who want to take part," Aunt
Kalsum said.
That Sunday morning, we arrived at,the beach at 7.30 after travelling for almost half an-hour. We were
divided into small groups and assigned the areas that each group needed to cover. Then, we were given
plastic bags and gloves. We were asked to collect all trash even small pieces like cigarette butts and sweet
wrappers. The garbage bags were to be sent to a few collection stations along the beach. Everyone was
to gather again at the same place by 9.30 a.m.
I followed the other members to the far side of the beach and we began doing our job. We separated
the recyclable items like plastic and glass bottles into one bag whereas other rubbish was placed into another.
Everyone was busy picking up the rubbish until we were satisfied that the area was very clean. When we
finished, it was almost time to get back to the place where we first assembled.
As we were having the refreshments provided for us, I took the opportunity to get to know other
volunteers. Most of them were also first timers like me. We agreed that the cleaning programme was a good
effort to see cleaner beaches and reduce sea pollution. The representative of the organising committee also
thanked everyone for a job well done. My friends and I were happy to be able to take part in this community
event. Our contribution might be small but it did have some advantages to the people involved as well as
to the environment.

Why I Enjoy Gardening
My mother loves gardening as a hobby. She has a small vegetable plot at the back
of our house whereas the flower pots are in front. Mother will always ask me to help her
in weeding or watering the plants. After some time, I realise that I have become fond of the
plants and will do the chores without being asked.
Mother has a collection of orchids in various colours. The plants are hanged under a
tree near the porch. I watch the plants grow and both of us can feel the satisfaction when
we see the orchids start to flower. It is a calming sight to see all those colourful blooms
hanging in their pots. They really make the house looks beautiful and cheerful.
I enjoy gardening when it is harvesting time for the vegetables. I pull out the mature
kale and spinach and cut the chives. There are ladies' fingers and chillies, too. Mother will
also give some of the vegetables to our neighbours. The taste of fresh vegetables is different
from those bought from the market.
I find that gardening is a good way to exercise, both for the body and for the mind.
Gardening teaches me patience and responsibility, too. It is a recreational way in which
people can use to have fun and relax. Start your own garden and you will know the feeling
and the difference that gardening can do to you.

Let's Save the Earth!

Being an environmental-friendly person means you are

concerned with what is happening to the Earth. You would want to do
things that can help to protect the Earth instead of damaging it. You
need to pick up ways that can contribute towards conservation of the
Earth. Going green needs some effort but it will benefit the Earth and
everyone on it. Here are some of the ways which you can do.
Just follow the 3Rs which will not be that difficult. Buy things like
biscuits, dish-cleaning detergents or instant coffee in refill packages
so you can reuse the old containers at home. You can make use of
these plastic and glass containers as vases, flower pots for handicraft projects. If you are
not that artistic to turn the containers into works of art, just recycle them. Recycle things by
sending them to a nearby recycling centre.
Reduce is what most of you can do. Reduce energy by using energy saving bulbs. You
can also save energy by switching off and pulling out the sockets of unused appliances.
Increasing the temperature of the air-conditioners or to only switching them on very hot days
will achieve the same objective. Reduce the use of water by taking short showers and using
rain water to water the plants. Saving energy and water means you can save money, too.
One other thing you can reduce is plastic. Reduce the use of plastic bags, containers and
even straws. It is good if you can stop using them and try to find other possible alternatives.
Everyone should be consistent in doing their part to save the Earth from further
destruction. The future generation needs a better environment-clean surrounding, fresh air
and safe water supply.

(/ Work Out Your Way

Everyone knows that doing exercises will be a great advantage to their
bodies. Physical exercises can be relaxing thus, improving their mood and
make them more energetic. Doing regular exercises certainly benefits
people of all ages, male and female by improving their physical abilities.
It will help them to control their weight and to reduce the risks of getting
stroke and diseases such as diabetes. As exercising can be an enjoyable
activity, there will be less stress and anxiety which can be a boost for
mental health.
Most people lead a sedentary life at work and when they go home,
they spend more time in front of the television. They have to make some
changes in their daily routine if they are concerned about their health. As a start, they can use
the stairs instead of lifts or escalators. They can also park their cars further from the places
they want to go and continue to walk towards their destinations. Walking 10,000 steps is a
recommended way to stay healthy if people cannot make time to do real exercises due to time
constraint.
There are many other kinds of activities for people who want to be active. However,
they need to check with the doctor first if they have not exercised for some time. They can
ask the doctor for the types of exercises that are suitable to their ages so there will not be any
complications later on. Swimming is fun but they have to go to a swimming pool or to the beach.
Unless they have a swimming pool at home, going to the public pool can be quite a hassle. Cycling
is becoming popular but a bicycle is a must. The easiest way will be to invest in a pair of good
running shoes and go jogging, running or brisk walking. They get to enjoy the surrounding view
and may meet new people, too!

HOW TO MAKE MANGO JUICE

I love to drink all kinds of fruit juice. The juice is refreshing as well as healthy. I love
pineapple juice but mango juice is the best. During the mango season, I will be making it
daily for the whole family. It is not that difficult to prepare my own mango juice like the
one I usually order from the shop. 1 I I I In this regard, remember to always do the
cleaning up afterwards so no one will complain about the condition of the kitchen.
Let me share with you how I make my own mango drink. 2 I I IThe milk
makes a healthier drink but you can go without it. First, peel the mango. Take a slice of the
mango, cut it into small cubes and put them aside. 3 I I I Next, add in about two
tablespoons of sugar. You can put in more sugar if you want a sweeter drink. Then, pour
in a glass of iced water and squeeze in half a lemon juice. 4 I I I
After that, add a
1
glass of unsweetened milk, either UHT or evaporated. Blend again and if the mixture is too 1

thick, just add in more water or milk depending on your preference. The juice is ready to
be served.
