So much hard work!!! The Lord of the Rings Symphony.
Last night (20/12-08) we went to listen to the music of "The Lord of the Rings" at KLCC . Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra was playing and The Young KL Singers plus The KL Children's Choir was singing. We had a Great time!
I have been listening to their Choir practice most of this fall and I know how much hard work and how many hours they have put into this performance. But I can also say that they have had lots of fun while rehearsing. But SO much hard work and only three performances. Thanks to them all!!!

The Best Christmas Card Ever!!
It is always nice to receive Christmas Cards from friends and family. When you can't meet people because they live on the other side of the planet it is even more interesting to see, read and (now) listen to what they have done the last year!!
Thanks to you all that has sent us Christmas Cards!!!! I have not got around to use my new Photoshop abilities --shame on me!!
I know this is not a competition BUT if it were ..... Kurt Schroeder and Family would be this years winner!!!! You should listen to the "vinyl"-CD with Christmas songs while reading on the back of what the family has been doing the last year!!! THANKS to the Schroeders!!!
PS. Doesn't Kurt look like Clark Kent??? So when will we see him as Superman!!!

My ^importance in the Universe.
It is said that people changed their view of their existence when they looked at the first pictures taken of Earth (from space or from the Moon).
One thing that has made an impact on me is the following video from TED. I have been interested in Dark Matter since I visited Soudan, Minnesota, USA. The thing that really blew my mind was the number of Galaxies that exists.
George Smoot looks into the farthest reaches of space to the oldest objects in the known universe: fluctuations in the remnants of creation.

Hari Raya Puasa
Hari Raya Puasa is the most significant festival for the Muslims as it marks the end of the fasting month. Also known as Hari Raya Aidilfitri or Hari Raya Fitrah, the day is most significant as it includes two of the five tenets of Islam: to fast during Ramadhan, and to pay the zakat fitrah – alms tax.
After a month of fasting, Muslims celebrate the first day of Syawal which is the 10th month of the Muslim calendar with joyous enthusiasm. By the eve of Hari Raya Puasa, Muslims would have paid their alms tax which is then distributed to the poor.
Muslims usher in the day by congregating early in the morning in the mosques to perform the Hari Raya Puasa prayers followed by visits to the graves of the departed.
It is also the time for family reunions when people gather to forgive and forget past quarrels. It is every Muslim’s religious virtue to ask for pardon on this day and this is done in order of family seniority.
The festive mood is reflected with the lighting of oil lamps. These oil lamps are lit starting from the 20th day of Ramadhan, the night when the Koran was sent down, right through the actual Hari Raya Puasa day itself.
All mosques and homes are decorated and brightly lit with illuminations to mark the significant day.
Hari Raya Puasa lasts for a month and although the first three days are celebrated on the grandest scale, many Muslims hold “open-house” throughout the month for friends who could not visit during the three days.
“Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!”
