I love the 3D Google Maps!!

I’ve been using Google Maps, either on Desktop or mobile, quite often since i like to go here and there. Google Maps help me like a lot especially when i go travelling to places I’ve never been before. And when I get lost when driving (and since my MapKing doesn’t really work, thank u so much –__-“ ) i know i can count on Google Maps! XD

Anyhow, talking about Google Maps for desktop/website, i super duper like the latest version of Google Maps.

You see.. instead of using this map view…

or this satellite view…

you can view Google Maps in 3D!!!!

 

Since i downloaded the 3D plug-in for Google Maps, I can’t stop viewing all the cities all over the world to see the great building like Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty also the Sphinx.

Plus, I GoogleMap-ed this.

USM, Engineering Campus in satellite view.

Now….in 3D view!! hehe :D

What else?

Malaysia National Museum, Kuala Lumpur

Where my heart is, the city of Kuala Lumpur. :’)

and this.. Penang Bridge, yaw! Cool isn’t it?

lets find some other cool places! :D

 

Just to tempt you more to play around with Google Maps 3D, here for you.

Siapa lagi nak sayang budaya dan tradisi kalau bukan kita, kan?

Hujung minggu yang lepas, pergi menonton Teater Teratak Minang dengan bonda dan sepupu, Adiba. Menonton teater adalah satu kegemaran yang dikongsi bersama bonda. Setakat ni, cuma beberapa kali je pergi menonton teater dengan kawan2,  ke 1 je kot. Teater Cindai – dengan Sharmi dan Sharifah. Yang lain2, baik teater kanak-kanak, teater muzikal, semua nya pergi menonton dengan bondaku.

So, anyways, Teratak Minang memang sangat menarik tertarik kau mmg da bomb la! Tapi kali ni belum nak cerita pasal teater tu, next post ey.

Kali ni nak cerita kenapa tertarik sangat nak tengok Teratak Minang. Dari kecik kecik lg memang suke sangat tarian dan menari2 ni. Lebih lebih lagi tarian2 tradisional Melayu seperti Zapin, Joget, Inang, Masri etc.
Dulu start menari untuk kelab, masa sekolah rendah. Tapi sbb kurniaan yg Tuhan beri, walaupun sekolah rendah, dpt menari dgn kakak2 & abang2 sbb tinggi lebih kurang dorang je. Cikgu tarian yang 1st nama die Cikgu Ismail. Masa tu ada blaja satu tarian, nama tarian tu Tari Indang. Lagu Tari Indang ni dalam bahasa Minang. Kire lagu ni memang terkenal la bagi orang2 yg layan lagu traditional or lagu Minang, spesifik nya.
Lepas tu, atas sebab2 tertentu, berhenti menari, minat terkubur.

Sampailah masa zaman belajar kat Kolej Matrikulasi Negeri Sembilan tahun 2003/04. Ada Karnival Kokurikulum Matrikulasi (KAKOM) 2003, di mana salah satu pertandingan adalah pertandingan tarian tradisional. So ape lagi. Macam bulan jatuh ke riba. Terus bagi nama nak join. :D

The dancers, Diotari

The musicians, Bongai 

So anyways, nama kumpulan penari kami Diotari (Dio means dia, so macam nak kata “dia menari”) and pemuzik Bongai. Kumpulan Bongai lebih kurang dengan kumpulan Caklempong, cuma berbeza sedikit pada alat muzik yang digunakan. Oh, btw, KMNS satu-satunya kumpulan yang main muzik live pada KAKOM 2003. :D

Masa ni, choreographer kami, Cikgu Sham banyak ajar bahasa Minang (note that bahasa Minang N9 isn’t really the same with bahasa Minang Padang), adat2 Minang, lagu2 Minang dan tarian kami juga lebih berunsurkan Minang.

Masa ni juga lah mula melayan lagu2 Minang dari penyanyi2 Minang terkenal spt Elly Kasim dan Eddy Silitonga dari Indonesia, juga Ally Noor dan Mastura dari Malaysia.

Sebahagian dari keluarga Bongai & Diotari, KMNS 2003/04 masa farewell party. Rindu korang :’(

I just think that it’s so cool & nice to have a culture that u hold on, since I was born & raised in KL, I don’t really hold on to any specific culture, or even dialect.

So anyhow… untuk anak anak nogoghi, ini yo la lagu yang mancaghito kan tantang kaindahan nogoghi sambilan. enjoy!!!

“Budayo disanjung tinggi,

adat Popatih dijago,

sedetik dilupo tidak,

dilupo tidak…”

Tunggu update pasal Teratak Minang pulak, k. Spoiler alert!! I FALL IN LOVE WITH IMAM RELLYGIUS TARTUSI!! Hahahahaha

p/s: I still haven’t got the book Dansa by Sasha Bashir… takde ke sape2 nak belanje…. :((

Postcard from Mummy

[Live blogged by juLia d buBbles at 25 Apr '10, 2.50pm MYT PST]

I like postcards. To receive one, to send one and to collect. Thats d main reason i join the Postcrossing.com.

Few days ealier i received a postcard sent to my hostel, signed by my Mum. Which on the postcard written "OPTIMISM : People who attempt the difficult often attain the impossible". If i'm not mistaken, d last card i receive from Mum (beside birthday cards) was during my undergraduate years.

Mum,thank you so much. I need this now, during my hard days finishing my thesis writing. You're the best. Love you! =)

USM Bloggers nights out

Finally setelah asyik nak keluar sama-sama tapi x pernah menjadi, kami (some of USM bloggers) berjaya mengumpulkan diri dan keluar bersama sebelum mereka-mereka yang di Tahun Akhir meninggalkan USM dan meneruskan kerjaya masing2. Terima kasih semua, lebih2 lagi orang2 yang x abes exam lagi. ;p

1st time jumpa semua (selain Hadi, Sally & Nik) was the night before yesterday (check live update from Hadi & Sally). Saje melepakkan diri di Bistro Mohamad, Nibong Tebal. Masa tu plan2 konon nak keluar lagi, tapi disebabkan ke-busy-an masing2 – ada yang x habis exam lagi, ada yang nak balik kampung halaman dah, ada yang nak pergi Terengganu for scuba test etc. – so we made the plan up utk keluar dinner yesterday.

Oh, FYI, Sally is a guy, okay. Haha.

So, there we were – Secret Recipe, Juru.

My dinner; Prawn Macaroni & Cheese and Iced Caffe Latte ( Mac&cheese yg very cheesy! klau berat naik lagi jgn bising2 la ye.. T__T )

Lily & Haaziq

Lepas dinner, they wanted to hangout somewhere since some of us still need foods (haisshh~ ;p), konon nye nak lepak Pelita for soups, tapi panas. Nak tempat aircond konon. isk. So tempat persinggahan seterusnya.. McDonald’s.

Kat McDonald’s bumped into another USM Bloggers, DeeDee. We finally met for the first time also. :D Kate je duduk sekampus tapi x pernah jumpe pun. Macam la USM Kampus Kejuruteraan ni besar sgt pun. :P

Me, Sally, DeeDee & Hadi

  

Terima kasih korang2 sebab jadi jugak keluar. :D

Earth Day 2010 – 22nd April 2010

Hello everyone. Do you know that we’re celebrating Earth Day on 22nd April each year? It was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in held on April 22, 1970. And this year, 2010, we’re celebrating the 40th Earth Day.

Ask yourself. What have you done, to date, to save earth?

This is the least i do to help in saving the earth:-

• I sell recycle paper, plastics and cans.
• I reuse plastic bags from the supermarket, instead of buying trash bin plastics.
• I bought environmental-friendly, reusable shopping bags from supermarkets (i.e. Tesco, Giants, The Store) and use it when i go there to buy groceries.
• I bought my own Starbucks coffee tumbler, so the each time I buy coffee from Starbucks, I help saving the paper cups.
• I read the journals from the laptop, instead of keep on printing and use a lot of papers.
• I requested for online bills, instead of receiving 2 or 3 bills by mail each months – to reduce paper usage.
• I have my own mineral water bottle, and bring drinking water to wherever i go, instead of buying mineral water each time I’m out.
• I did support the Earth Hour 28.03.10 (was at my uncle’s place – and yes, we switched off all electrical appliance).
• I do not litter. I throw rubbish in the bins.
• I unplugged cables for electronic devices when not in use.
• Last but not least, I spread the words!!

“Forty years after the first Earth Day, the world is in greater peril than ever. While climate change is the greatest challenge of our time, it also presents the greatest opportunity – an unprecedented opportunity to build a healthy, prosperous, clean energy economy now and for the future.”
