A Suprise Birthday Bash for Dayang Aldurah at Hilton Kuching

Kuching Hilton: A suprise 28th birthday dinner was orginised by our Organising Chairman for her lovely wife and a mum to be Dayang Aldurah. The dinner was attended by most family members serving chinese courses. Despite the birthday song for the lovely mom to be there are tunes such as revived Bunga Raya, Sunflower, Rafflesia and Rose catchy BINGO aired among members.

In exchange of views and sparkling wines were also held during dinner by the attending family members. Matters such as a confused Bunga Raya member over being a Rafflesian were one of the hottest topic discuss last nite.

However, the dinner ended at 10.30pm whereby everyone left in a cheerful and jolly mood. Again Happy Birthday to Dayang Aldurah from ALL OF US.

Council Meeting - No objections on the rules and regulation

Rumah Minangkabau, 13/01/2007.

A meeting was being held in conjunction to the coming Family Carnival 2007. The purpose of the meeting is to brief and resolve any potential problems with the entire program. Most of the attendees were happy with the briefing's agenda. The orginising chairman and its committee has agreed to to include Ahmad Zaiwin as part of Bunga Raya contigent. It was decided due to matters arising such as shortage of manpower and so on.

The challenge would not end there whereby one of its member Abang Hamid may reschedule his committments to ensure a win for Bunga Raya. He has sensed that with his participation it would accolade a stronger team as compared to the earlier line up.

With a strong signal that Abang Shafiee would suprise show-up and matters would be even thougher for other teams to predict its strenght and power.

Do not judge a book by its thiness....... you may slip the missing pages!

Retro Fashion

The term "retro" applied to stylistic trends in music, film, and fashion in the 1990s, that were characterized by their iconic or kitsch use of the past. Stemming from the late 1960s concept of "retrochic" developed by the Paris avant garde, retro fashion embraced the use of revival or period styles from certain counter-cultural examples of alternative consumerism.

Although retrochic began as an impromptu anti-fashion, it soon blossomed into a profitable, commercial style known by fashion critics as "the nostalgia industry." Retro become associated with a playful, postmodern nostalgia where the past is used as a storehouse of fashion. But what distinguished the retro fashion of the 1990s from older forms of revivalism, was the cavalier and eclectic disregard for the past.

Designs and styles were used without sentimentality or discrimination; the aura of a previous style inspired revelry more than reverence. Retro was a form of pastiche, less concerned with historical context than with the fashionable and hip qualities of "pastness." Retro can thus be defined as a process of scripting history into nostalgic narratives of the chic and trendy.

The critical and media debate concerning the larger significance of this phenomenon, of various industries marketing the past within new regimes of style, has promoted controversy. For critics like Jameson, retro suggests a profound lack of invention; for others, it represents an ironic return to a past given new and creative cachet.

Describing clothing, music, and films as "retro" categorized the style by time period. While certain styles have been described as "retro" because they constitute pop-cultural kitsch of some description, more concrete definitions are available. Within the vintage clothing market, for example, the difference between vintage and retro styles is one of historical era, loosely distinguishing pre-war and post-sixties fashion: retro being commonly associated with kitsch of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.

Within the music industry, the term "retro" was used by radio stations, journalists, and marketing managers to categorize music linked to a particular moment or musical zeitgeist, principally Disco and New Wave. While the music cognoscenti in Britain and the United States also used the term to describe the creative character of Britpop (Blur evoked the Kinks, Oasis aped the Beatles), retro is more widely associated with popularized nostalgia for music kitsch of the 1970s and 1980s, from Abba to Duran Duran.

Similarly, films described as "retro" have been labeled such because of their music. Boogie Nights (1997) and The Wedding Singer (1998) both display a self-conscious use of iconic style and sound in their respective evocations of the 1970s and 1980s. Both films illustrate a tendency in postmodern culture, identified by Jameson, to understand the past through stylistic connotation: less 1970s, more 1970s-ness.

The fashion industry embraced retro perhaps more than any other industry. The popularity of stylistic nostalgia and the selling of vintage clothing and retrochic in the 1980s began, in part, as a response to the consolidation of designer fashions like Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren. Vintage and retro clothing stores (London's American Retro opened in 1986) provided an alternative to the international offerings of the designer labels.

The success of these stores influenced mainstream fashion; in the 1990s, both vintage and retro became a distinguishable "look" in Britain and the States. Mathew Rolsten's portraits for Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, and in Britain GQ and Vogue, illustrate these looks to some degree. His signature is one of glossy nostalgia, using motifs of 1930s glamour photography and the style of 1940s Hollywood studio stills.

A more particular retro aesthetic was evident in mainstream fashion with the comeback in the 1990s of flares, fly collars, and platform shoes. Witness to the popularity of the trend was the 1998 premier of the Fox Television sitcom, That '70s Show, and the McDonald's advertising campaign "Get Back with Big Mac," which featured fashion and dance trends from the 1970s. In each case, the vogue was playful pastness.

Gathering at Sunflower Chairman's Residence

There were huge turnouts by team members from their respective groups. Groups were discussing matters such as team planning, strategy as well nominating their team members for each and every event. Most group meeting were held behind glass close doors. Few members were trying to exploit the situation by spying on each other's teams meeting session for vital information.

Rose and Its Definition

A rose is a flowering shrub of the genus Rosa, and the flower of this shrub. There are more than a hundred species of wild roses, all from the northern hemisphere and mostly from temperate regions. The species form a group of generally prickly shrubs or climbers, and sometimes trailing plants, reaching 2–5 m tall, rarely reaching as high as 20 m by climbing over other plants.

The name originates from Latin rosa, borrowed through Oscan from colonial Greek in southern Italy: rhodon (Aeolic form: wrodon), from Aramaic wurrdā, from Assyrian wurtinnu, from Old Iranian *warda (cf. Avestan warda, Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr).

The leaves of most species are 5–15 cm long, pinnate, with (3–) 5–9 (–13) leaflets and basal stipules; the leaflets usually have a serrated margin, and often a few small prickles on the underside of the stem. The vast majority of roses are deciduous, but a few (particularly in southeast Asia) are evergreen or nearly so.

The flowers of most species roses have five petals with the exception of Rosa sericea which often has only four. Each petal is divided into two distinct lobes and are usually white or pink, though in a few species yellow or red. Beneath the petals are five sepals (or in the case of some Rosa sericea, four). These may be long enough to be visible when viewed from above and appear as green points alternating with the rounded petals. The ovary is inferior, developing below the petals and sepals.

Rosa canina hips
The aggregate fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip. Rose species that produce open-faced flowers are attractive to pollinating bees and other insects, thus more apt to produce hips. Many of the domestic cultivars are so tightly petalled that they do not provide access for pollination. The hips of most species are red, but a few (e.g. Rosa pimpinellifolia) have dark purple to black hips. Each hip comprises an outer fleshy layer, the hypanthium, which contains 5–160 "seeds" (technically dry single-seeded fruits called achenes) embedded in a matrix of fine, but stiff, hairs. Rose hips of some species, especially the Dog Rose (Rosa canina) and Rugosa Rose (Rosa rugosa), are very rich in vitamin C, among the richest sources of any plant.

The hips are eaten by fruit-eating birds such as thrushes and waxwings, which then disperse the seeds in their droppings. Some birds, particularly finches, also eat the seeds.
While the sharp objects along a rose stem are commonly called "thorns", they are actually prickles – outgrowths of the epidermis (the outer layer of tissue of the stem). True thorns, as produced by e.g. Citrus or Pyracantha, are modified stems, which always originate at a node and which have nodes and internodes along the length of the thorn itself. Rose prickles are typically sickle-shaped hooks, which aid the rose in hanging onto other vegetation when growing over it.

Some species such as Rosa rugosa and R. pimpinellifolia have densely packed straight spines, probably an adaptation to reduce browsing by animals, but also possibly an adaptation to trap wind-blown sand and so reduce erosion and protect their roots (both of these species grow naturally on coastal sand dunes). Despite the presence of prickles, roses are frequently browsed by deer. A few species of roses only have vestigial prickles that have no points.

New Year Wish for 2007

What is your wish for the New Year 2007? Is it something that you wish every year that never ever be fulfilled? Or something that is beyond our own expectation? All these questions are normally asked and shared among us when the clock ticks on the day of 31st December every year.

Is it a better employment package?
A better motivation points to excel in job function?
Whether to venture into a different industry?
Start something new?
Moving into something new?
Will we be promoted in the year 2007?
Reaching our dreams in the year 2007?

Likewise a wish is always a wish but reaching towards our objectives and goals is not an overnight success. We need to pray, work hard and smart to ensure our goals are succeed and make us a better person at the end of the day.

Wishing all muslim viewers Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha and Happy New Year.
