Kenny Yeap-Traditional Weaponry

My name is Kenny Yeap and I am the group leader for this group. I am in charge of handling the task "Traditional Weaponry". As such, I have come up with a simple flowchart and a simple GUI on how my website will be like.

 This is a simple GUI of the website

Nicole Yeow-Traditional Games

Good day, I am Nicole Yeow. I have been tasked with findings on the topic "Traditional Games" I have done a rough flowchart on my part of the website. And have already designed the GUI for my website which is going to be the same as the main GUI. The current photo for the GUI is not the final GUI but the concept remains the same.

 The current GUI for the main page and designed by me.

This is the flowchart for my part of the entire website

Tham Ka Yian - Malay Culture's Food

NASI LEMAK

Coconut-flavoured Rice Meal - is rice cooked in coconut milk made aromatic with pandan leaves (screwpine leaves). It is typically served with SambalIkanBilis - fried dried anchovies cooked in a dry sambal sauce, and garnished with cucumber slices, hard boiled egg and roasted peanuts. Traditionally packaged in a banana leaf, it is usually eaten as hearty breakfast fare.

SATAY

BBQ Sticks - The marinated meat; chicken or beef, are skewered onto bamboo sticks and grilled over hot charcoals. Some satay stalls also serve venison and rabbit satay. A fresh salad of cucumbers and onions are served together with a spicy-sweet peanut sauce for dipping. Ketupat, a Malay rice cake similar tolontong, is also an accompaniment to satay, great for dipping in satay sauce.

BEEF RENDANG

Malay Spiced Coconut Beef - This hot, dry spiced dish of tenderly simmered meat offers the typical Malaysian taste of coconut, balanced with robust, tangy spices. Rendang is a must-have on special occasions such as weddings, ideally served with nasikunyit (turmeric rice). During this festive season, a special rice cake called Lemang is made to eat with Rendang. Lemang is made from glutinous rice and santan (coconut milk), carefully packed into bamboo poles lined with banana leaves and cooked in the traditionally way over low open fires.

KETUPAT

It is made from rice that has been wrapped in a woven palm pouch and boiled. As the rice cooks, the grains expand to fill the pouch and the rice becomes compressed. This method of cooking gives the ketupat its characteristic forn and texture of a rice dumpling. Ketupat is usually eaten with rendang by Malays at open houses on festive occasions such as IdulFitri (Hari Raya Aidilfitri).

Update for Group DM as of August 22nd 2011

As of August 22nd, 2011. We have managed to come up with the GUI design and the flowchart of the overall blog. We have been experimenting on a flash slideshow which will be part of each one of the content done by every member.

 

This is our current flowchart of the entire website

 This is a rough design of how our GUI would look like

 

 Our current prototype GUI

As such, we are still in progress with the slideshow and will upload our further progress as well.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic Calender, which lasts 29 or 30 days. It is the Islamic month of fasting, in which participating Muslims refrain from eating, drinking and intimacy with

their partners during daylight hours and is intended to teach Muslims about patience, spirituality, humility and submissiveness to God. Muslims fast for the sake of God and to offer more prayer than usual. Compared to the solar calendar, the dates of Ramadan vary, moving backwards by about eleven days each year depending on the moon; thus, a person will have fasted every day of the calendar year in 34 years time. Muslims believe Ramadan to be an auspicious month for the revelations of God to humankind, being the month in which the first verses of the Qur'an were revealed to the Islamic prophet, Muhammad.

Ramadan is a time of spiritual reflection and worship. Muslims are expected to put more effort into following the teachings of Islam and to avoid obscene and irreligious sights and sounds. Sexual intercourse among spouses is allowed after one has ended the daily fast. During fasting intercourse is prohibited as well as eating and drinking, one is also encouraged to resist all temptations while fasting. Purity of both thoughts and actions is important. The act of fasting is said to redirect the heart away from worldly activities, its purpose being to cleanse the inner soul and free it from harm. It also teaches Muslims to practice self-discipline, self-control, sacrifice, and empathy for those who are less fortunate; thus encouraging actions of generosity and charity. It becomes compulsory for Muslims to start fasting when they reach puberty, so long as they are healthy, sane and have no disabilities or illnesses. The elderly, the chronically ill, and the mentally ill are exempt from fasting, although the first two groups must endeavor to feed the poor in place of their missed fasting. Also exempt are pregnant women if they believe it would be harmful to them or the unborn baby, women during the period of their menstruation, and women nursing their newborns. A difference of opinion exists among Islamic scholars as to whether this last group must make up the days they miss at a later date, or feed poor people as a recompense for days missed. While fasting is not considered compulsory in childhood, many children endeavour to complete as many fasts as possible as practice for later life. Lastly, those traveling (musaafir) are exempt, but must make up the days they miss. More specifically, Twelver Shi’ah define those who travel more than 14 miles (23 km) in a day as exempt.
