Ramadan Kareem

Salaam

This year around, I tried to light up the spirit of Ramadan by having a simple and minimalist Ramadan decoration around the house. We often decorate our house for Raya year in and year out, so why not this time around we spice up the Ramadan celebration with some decorations. Something quite different. 

My wife and I put up some wall decorations where everything was hand-made by using the papers and cardboards. And the ideas, without any doubt are from the internet. 

And of course, a few selections of Middle Eastern menu filled up our dinner table: home-made pistachio baklava - made with spring rolls, the chicken Arabian styled rice (Nasi Arab) and my favourite mint tea.

We had our dinner quite early before getting ready to pray the Maghreeb, Isya and of course our very first Taraweeh together. I felt so blessed. Alhamdulillah. 

Wishing all muslims around the world. 

A very happy and blessed Ramadan.

Cultural Class Lesson: Malaysian Traditional Costume

This week I had planned on introducing the Malaysian traditional costume to the Grade 2 students. Since they have zero knowledge of English and the time given for each lesson was 40 minutes, I had simplified the contents, and activity so that the objective outlined could be successfully achieved.

The objective of the lesson is to introduce the Korean students with 4 types of Malaysian traditional costumes namely; Baju Melayu, Baju Kurung, Cheongsam and Saree. After showing the students the different types of costume via powerpoint slides show and realia, students then make a human paper chain comprising these four types of costume.
