The Miracle of the Splitting Moon

Assalamualaikom,

I was youtubing(remember i just coined that word) and watch some amazing and sometimes disturbing video clips. From storms lashing on light houses to hail storms that broke car windscreens. Then my buddy said, he does not believe in the "moon landing". I said, I do.

From there, I went to Apollo clips to some absurd behaviour of trying to force Neil Armstrong to swear on a bible that he landed on the moon, to which Mr Neil Armstrong replied,"you do not deserve a reply". Then I remember stories about Mr Armstrong hearing the azan while he was on the moon. And also some other story about the fault line on the moon.

So i googled moon images, and one thing led to another. I stumble upon a debate about the moon splitting. http://boards.history.com/topic/History-Of-Islam/Moon-Split-In/600017783&start=45 . There were also some helpful ones who gave urls for pictures and scientific opinion about the moon having been split in the past. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap021029.html

Shukoor, Al hamdu lillah, Allah hu Akbar . Praise to god for strengthening our faith.
The debates gave good points to ponder and show how truly the Holy Quran is regarding the non-believer way of showing their disbelieve, exactly!

The end is near.

Galleon 9

Its just a codename but this is the second biggest I've made though its not my design originally. Of the 30 odd years in this field, as far as i can recall, I've only made less than 10 of this design. Its dimensions are, height approximately 30 inches tall, 6 inches wide and 24 inches long. I'm just guessing because I don't have one for me to measure now. : ) Notice the three masts, there's another even rarer galleon which is the Galleon 10, with 5 mast and even taller and longer. I made only two. One of which broke when I fell and landed on it. Took me a few years to gather the courage to make the 2nd one. :) Interested? Gimme a buzz, ring, whatever..

My Friend, Sham's work of art to wear.

What I think of local batik? Someone once asked me.
Hmm. That’s a tough one. I think there is still room for expansion. Diversify. Increase if you must. Say, in its production and promotion.

The problem with local batik is its way too expensive to get designer labels. The unique ones are always expensive. Wished I can wear batik everyday, in comfortable materials such as cotton. Ready to wear are not available easily. But if one wants batik that’s exactly the same as the next one on the shelf, then most probably that’s not batik but a clone version of batik, probably made in China.

I like the batik done by my good friend, Sham. He is innovative. He strays away from traditional form of producing batiks. I think it’s the background that makes his batik special. Love it.

I also like batik in one colour but with different shades and tones. If you have seen hills and mountains in the morning, you would know what I’m talking about. Like a Chinese painting. All the batik pics you see here are my friend's work. If anyone wants to custom make a batik baju kurung or any kind of batik, feel free to contact me for details. Thank you.
