Takeda Shingen (1521-1573)

“Learning is to a man as the leaves and branches are to a tree, and it can be said that he should not be without it. Learning is not only reading books, however, but is rather something that we study to integrate with our own way of life”

Yagyu Munenori (1571-1646)

“When a man in the beginning of his life is ignorant of everything, he has no scruples, finds no obstacles, no inhibitions. But after a while he starts to learn, and becomes timid, cautious, and begins to feel something choking in his mind, which prevents him from going ahead as he used to before he had any learning. Learning is needed, but the point is not to become its slave. You must be its master, so that you can use it when you want it.”

Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616)

“You can't manage the Empire properly without economy, for if those at the top are extravagant, taxes mount up and the lower orders are embarrassed, not to speak of the effect it has on military finances. But a lot of people can't understand the meaning of the word thrift, and think it means only omitting to do what you ought to do.”

Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679)

“Man is distinguished, not only by his reason; but also by this singular passion from other animals... which is a lust of the mind, that by a perseverance of delight in the continual and indefatigable generation of knowledge, exceeds the short vehemence of any carnal pleasure.”

Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804)

“Men give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have lies in this; when I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort I have made is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought.”

The Colours of 1 Malaysia [Warna-warna 1 Malaysia]

3:10 AM TheF-Mind

Hi guys, so sorry cuz its been awhile since I'm updating my posts. Well, I was really busy with my master courses even sometimes we spent 3/4 of our day inside the university!. Put the things aside, for this entry I would like to share what I have attended recently.
Variation of drums used by different Malaysian races and ethnic
The showcase of harmonious multiracial country
 The colours of 1 Malaysia is basically to showcase the uniqueness of Malaysian especially the variety of its culture, races and tradition. FYI, some race or ethnic in Malaysia represented by their own unique colors; Malays usually represented by green, Chinese usually represented by red while Indian some people said is represented by blue. Some of the dance is so exotic that u might not be able to see while visiting Malaysia.
The funny thing is after the showcase, people are invited to dance with all the dancers. Juz choose which dance you like.. ^_^

The dance from various ethnic from Sabah and Sarawak

Another purpose of such event is to promote Malaysia as a tourist destination. Well, even I’m as Malaysian, I still have many places that I still yet to explore! This showcase is fantastic since tourists will be able to see the variation of Malaysian dancing, ethnicity and cultures all in one event. For tourists out there who has missed the showcase, do not worry cuz it might be done every year. This year (2011) is a second time after the 2010 showcase. Peace! ^__^
Seriously I never saw such mask before!
