Art...

Art is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions.There are many types of art.One of all is music.
Here,I want to talk about music instrument.Music instrument can be divided to traditional and modern types.
I want to compare between sape and guitar.As we know,sape is a taditional music instrument while guitar is a modern music instrument.
Pronounced "sa-peh",is a traditional lute of the Orang Ulu community or upriver people of Central Borneo.It is traditionally used by the Kenyahs,Kayans and Kelabit tribes.
A hollow is made on the sape body and about a metre.The sape is a masterpiece of woodcarving.The body of the sape is curved and coloured with colourful jungle motifs because this change in purpose.
Sape had only two rattan strings and three frets.Sape is played during the ceremonies such as marriages,births and harvest times in rumah panjang.
The guitar is modern instrument typically has six strings but four,five,six also exits.Two main types of guitars are electric and guitar and acoustic guitar.Guitar is suitable played in jazz,pop,rock music and also for slow music.
The guitar usually means as to a set of closely related stringed while the electric guitar can have solid,semi hollow,or hollow bodies and produce little sound without amplication.
Acoustic guitars, string vibration is transmitted through the bridge and saddle to the body via sound board.The sound board is typically made of tone.Timbers are chosen for both strength and ability to transfer mechanical energy from the strings to the air within the guitar body. Sound is affected by the characteristics of the guitar body's resonant cavity.
In conclusion, both the modern and traditional music instruments have own specilities.So, we as the new generation must retain the art.

indigenous people in Malaysia

Indigenous people can be describe as the native of an area that have been live there for the long period of time.Usually,they have their own characteristic dialect but they share the same cultural and background.The indigenous people live in nomadic lifestyle.

In Peninsular Malaysia,The Orang Asli consist of 19 ethnic such as Negrito, Senoi and Aboriginal Malay. Their population is 0.7% of the national population.

Sabah has more than 30 different indigenous groups, including Kadazan, Dusun, Rungus, Murut, Sungai and Lundayeh. They speak more than 50 languages and 80 dialects.Their populationis about 60% of the national population and the majority live in the rural areas.

The indigenous peoples in Sarawak is around 50% of the national population.There are 28 indigenous groups listed. However, there are at least 37 known groups and sub-groups, including Iban, Penan, Kenyah, Kayan, Kelabit, Ukit, Sekapan, Lahanan and Punan Bah.

The indigenous people have low level of life.They have low education,and they do not know so much about entertainment just like sports,games and so on.

But,nowadays,we can see the indigenous people especially the new generation of the indigenous people have been successful in their life.They are successful to upgrade their level of life from lower level up to standard and even to a very high level of life.Today,there are many well-known people are the indigenous people.

As we see today,many of these indigenous people have been trough the assimilation.They have assimilate to other ethnic.This is because many of them married with partner from other ethnic and their next generation will become assimilate and become "half indigenous" only.

Indigenous Peoples are a significant and important portion of humanity. Their heritage, their ways of life, their stewardship of this planet, and their cosmological insights are an invaluable treasure house for us all.The World Bank is honored to be working worldwide with Indigenous Peoples in global dialog and in development projects. The World Bank aims to promote Indigenous Peoples' development in a manner which ensures that the development process fosters full respect for the dignity, human rights, and uniqueness of Indigenous Peoples.

In conclusion,the indigenous people should not being neglected by the other ethnic.we should caring and sharing with them.:):):)

media choices

Assalammualaikum and hello to all of you!Thank you for your willing to read our blog again.This time,we will share with you the info about media.What means by media?This word is very general and familiar for us.Media means channels of communication that serve many diverse functions,such as offering a variety of entertainment,communicating news and information.There are many types of media such as mass media,for electronic media,it usually referred to as broadcast media,or radio and television,including cable.

Through the history,humans lived in a state of extreme information poverty.News traveled slowly,from field to field,village to village.All of this happened because there are a few people know how to read in that time.Today,by contrast,we live in a world where the technology are taking over the world.We can get whatever we want,wherever and whenever we want.This is because of the exist of internet.A lot of entertainment that we can get from watching television,radio,reading newspapers or magazines and so on are available in the internet.Because of the variety of media,so I make decision to talk about people’s choices of media.

My first question is,which forms of media are the most popular nowadays?I had conduct a survey about people’s choices of media.Most of the respondent choose internet as their sources to get many informations.So,why are the internet be the most favourite media chose by my respondent?One of the reasons are most of my respondents are students of UPM Kampus Bintulu.They have their own laptop to do their assignment.In the same time,they use the internet to get many informations also.Besides,people also can watch the television channel and hear the deejay of the radio talking in the internet.So,internet are the most popular media nowadays because we can get anything in it just with a click!

My second question is,some people say that DVDs and internet downloads of movies will mean the death of the cinema.Do you agree with that statement?I don't know what are your opinion about this statement,but I agree with this statement.DVDs and internet download of movies will mean the death of the cinema because people will watching movies maybe at their home together with their family by playing the DVDs or alone in their room by surfing in the internet.The manager cinema will bankrupt and close their business because of the decreasing number of people go to the cinema to watch movies.There is no reason to stay built the cinema because people nowadays will not see all of that.They will think twice whether to go to the cinema or downloads from DVDs or internet.

Last but not least,people also say that the internet will take over from television.Do you agree with that statement?What are your reasons?I think internet will take over from television because it is easy to get a lot of entertainment in the internet just with a click!Besides,when people surf the web,there are numerous things that can be found such as musics,hobbies,news and more.
