spotted nyonya porcelain vessel

singaporean design studio hans tan studio has developed 'spotted nyonya', an industrial re-interpretation of the nyonya porcelain vessels which are traditional domestic wares native to chinese-peranakans in south asia. produced in collaboration with singaporean creative agency FARM, this contemporary take on the traditional objects transforms the original multicolored surface treatment into a new dotted pattern. the limited edition series of vessels utilizes the resist-dyeing technique that is often applied to dye fabric patterns. hans tan masks the porcelain pieces with the new dotted motif, which is then sandblasted, so that the areas protected are preserved, while the original glazed sections of the exposed areas are erased, revealing the white porcelain which lies beneath.

dimanakah palestine?

dimanakah palestine?

saya menerima satu email daripada salah seorang supplier berkenaan Teluk Aqaba. keindahan dasar teluk sungguh cantik.

Tapi saya terkejut apabila fakta tentang kedudukan teluk Aqaba, hanya empat negara bersempadan yang disebut iaitu Israel, Jordan, Mesir dan Arab Saudi. Dimana Palestin, sedangkan teluk Aqaba adalah bersebelahan Palestin?

Dalam salah satu slide tersebut ada menunjukkan teluk Aqaba bersebelahan dengan Israel? mungkin kesilapan orang yang mengemukakan slide tersebut (dalam pikiran saya)

Lantas saya buka Google Maps dan dalam bahagian "Carian" (search), saya menaip "Palestine". MasyaAllah. "Palestine" tidak wujud dalam carian google maps. Hanya ada cadangan "Palestine Hotel".

Apa yang terjadi sebenarnya? Bumi Palestine dilupuskan dari peta dunia oleh Yahudi Laknatullah. Tambah menyedihkan Palestine hanya tinggal Gaza yang dipisahkan oleh tembok Yahudi (di dalam Google Maps ditandakan garisan putus2 dan ditandakan sebagai "1950 Armistice Agreements Line")

Lihat betapa dunia sedang dikawal oleh Yahudi. Dahulunya negara Yahudi sebesar Gaza, sekarang Palestin pula yang tinggal sebesar Gaza.

Wahai umat Islam bangkit dan sedarlah, Yahudi sentiasa memusuhi umat Muhammad S.A.W. bangkitlah dengan Islam

    * This list was widely distributed over the Internet in the mid 1990s, with no mention of an author. Some visitors to this page have asserted that most of the items are quotes from the American comedian, Steven Wright. That's possible, but verification of the true authorship of these items has proven rather elusive. Item 6, however, and variations on items 9 and 20, do appear genuine Steven Wright quotes, or at least, are often associated with him. Wikipedia's article on Wright offers his own amusing take on the subject of attribution (if not now, they have in the past). It seems likely the original compiler of this list drew from a variety of comedic sources.
