Thank You SMK Pondok Upeh, Balik Pulau, Penang


Date    : 30.05.2015
Venue  : SMK Pondok Upeh, 
               Balik Pulau, Penang

           Our Angklung Trip this time is to visit  Penang, The Pearl Of the Orient of Malaysia. Visiting Penang is a pleasant treat as always. Simply love the ride along The Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge or Penang Second Bridge (Malay: Jambatan Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah or Jambatan Kedua Pulau Pinang). It connects the mainland Peninsular Malaysia with  Penang Island. It is the longest bridge in Malaysia and the longest in Southeast Asia. We simply love the food. A fascinating fusion of the East and West. Penang embraces modernity while retaining its traditions and old world charm. These are reflected in its harmonious multiracial populace and well-preserved heritage buildings. Penang fondly regarded as the food capital of Malaysia.  It entices visitors with its beautiful coasts and scrumptious cuisines. 

Kembara Angklung kami pada kali ini ialah menuju ke Pulau Pinang, Pulau Mutiara Malaysia Mengunjungi Pulau Pinang sentiasa  dinanti-nantikan. Memamdu  menyelusuri Jambatan kedua Pulau Pinang, Sultan Halim Muadzam Shah adalah pengalaman yang menyeronokkan. Pilihan hidangan makanan yang lazat dan pelbagai.





               SMK Pondok Upeh, Balik Pulau, Pulau Pinang indeed has a well-maintained music room. Cikgu Rizal has a wide and impressive  range of musical instruments at his disposal. Being a talented music teacher, Cikgu Rizal put so much effort in obtaining grants from various sources to purchase the school's musical instruments. In fact some of it comes from his own pocket! 
                 SMK Pondok Upeh, Balik Pulau, Pulau Pinang sememangnya mempunyai sebuah bilik muzik yang disenggarakan dengan baik. Cikgu Rizal mempunyai koleksi peralatan muzik yang  banyak dan mengagumkan. Beliau seorang guru muzik yang berbakat besar. Beliau telah banyak besusah payah mendapatkan dana untuk menjayakan pembelian alat-alat muzik di sekolah ini. Malah beberapa alat muzik beliau beli dengan duit sendiri!

Hello PERLIS here we come!


SK Kuala Perlis,
Perlis,
West  Malaysia
08.05.2015 (Friday)
                         Today we had a pleasant opportunity to visit Perlis.  Its  formal name  is Perlis Indera Kayangan. Perlis is the smallest state in Malaysia. It lies at the northern part of the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia and has the Satun and Songkhla Provinces of Thailand on its northern border. It is bordered by the state of Kedah to the south. 
                           Hari ini kami berpeluang berkunjung ke Perlis Indera Kayangan. Perlis merupakan negeri yang terkecil di Malaysia. Ia terletak di utara Semenanjung Malaysia. Perlis berjiran dengan Satun dan Songkhla merupakan dua buah wilayah negara Thailand yang terletak di utara sempadan kedua buah negara.

                              Visiting Perlis at this time of the year is a good timing as the end of April and the beginning of the month of May indicates the much awaited season of  Mangga Harum Manis. Mangga Harum Manis  is a species of manggo which has a sweet smell and wonderful taste. The land of Perlis is truly blessed as this manggo can only grow here despite of all the attempts done in many states in Malaysia.
                             Berkunjung ke Perlis pada penghujung bulan April dan awal bulan Mei merupakan "langkah kanan" kerana bermulanya musim Mangga Harum Manis yang telah lama ditunggu-tunggu. Mangga yang enak ini adalah merupakan ikon kebanggaan negeri Perlis Indera Kayangan. Bumi bertuah Perlis telah dikurniakan dengan tanah yang sesuai sehinggakan mangga ini hanya tumbuh di sini dengan subur.

                                Our main purpose of  visiting Perlis is to send a complete set of Angklung Pak Radja to SK Kuala Perlis. A lovely primary school which is situated at heart of the town. We had a wonderful time throughout our Angklung Demo as the teachers and pupils are both very vibrant and energetic. Bringing angklung to this school is much easier as this school has its own angklung group which is under the direction of two very capable music teachers; Cikgu Azahar (Penolong Kanan KoKurikulum) and Cikgu Mahadzir.

A Refreshing and Fun Visit : Kunjungan Ke SK KG. Muhibah

A Refreshing and Fun Visit 
To
 SK Kampung Muhibah, Sungai Siput,
Perak Darul Ridzuan
West Malaysia


30.04.2015 :
A wonderful opportunity indeed!  Another visit to a school that caters for students with special needs. Today we visited SK Kampung Muhibah, Sungai Siput (U) Perak to send a full set of Angklung Pak Radja. We also took the opportunity to give a free Demo to the teachers and students who had been waiting with full of anticipation.
Syukur. Alhamdulillah. Hari ini kami berpeluang sekali lagi mengunjungi sebuah sekolah kebangsaan yang mengendalikan unit Pendidikan Khas, SK Kg. Muhibah, Sg. Siput (U) Perak. Pihak sekolah telah memesan satu set lengkap Angklung Pak Radja dan turut mengatur agar kami datang sekaligus memasang, menguji dan mengadakan Demo secara percuma. Kami  tiba di perkarangan sekolah pada tepat jam 9.30 pagi, setengah jam lewat dari masa yang telah ditetapkan. Kelewatan tersebut amat tidak disengajakan dan amat dikesali. Namun demikian, guru-guru Pendidikan Khas serta murid-murid setia menunggu ketibaan  kami anpa banyak bicara. Terima kasih banyak semua!

                     We are also very please to be here as we are to meet our old friend, Cikgu Rosida Ibrahim. She is a Guru Cemerlang (a title given to teachers who had accomplished an extraordinary service to the school) who used to be a Music Teacher in a High Performance school, SK Sultan Idris II, Kuala Kangsar, Perak. We made our first acquaintance when the school purchased a full set of Angklung Pak Radja back in 2014. Our friendship grew as we assisted  her school's music camp and performances. We had also co-organized a very fruitful excursion for her Angklung Group to Bandung, Indonesia. We had visited a School of Art and attended an Angklung Workshop at Udjo Saung Angklung.
                            Kami juga berbesar hati atas kesempatan ke SK Kg. Muhibah kerana  berpeluang bertemu dengan rakan karib kami, Cikgu Rosida Ibrahim. Beliau merupakan seorang guru muzik cemerlang yang telah bertugas di Seolah  Berprestasi Tinggi, SK Sultan Idris II, Kuala Kangsar, Perak. Perkenalan kami bermula apabila pihak sekolah asal beliau telah memesan satu set lengkap Angklung Pak Radja. Persahabatan semakin akrab sejak beliau mengundang kami membantu dalam slot Pengenalan Lanjut Angklung sempena Perkhemahan Muzik yang dianjurkan oleh sekolah beliau. Kami juga turut menbantu mengendalikan lawatan sambil belajar Kumpulan Angklung sekolah beliau ke Bandung, Indonesia. Lawatan tersebut amat bermakna kerana kami telah berpeluang mengunjungi sebuah sekolah khas untuk  kesenian. Kunjungan ke Bandung juga tidak disia-siakan di mana kami mengambil kesempatan menghadiri Wokshop Angklung di Udjo Saung Angklung.

                          Due to her excellent performance at her former school, she was promoted to be the Penolong Kanan KoKurikulum (School Senior Assistant of co-curricular) She is now serving at SK Kg. Muhibah, Sungai Siput (U) Perak. Congratulation Cikgu Rosida! You well-deserve it!
                             Atas kecemerlangan perkhidmatan yang telah ditunjukkan oleh cikgu Rosida, beliau telah diberi kenaikan pangkat. Kini beliau bertugas di SK Kg. Muhibah sebagai Penolong Kanan KoKurikulum. Tahniah Cikgu Rosida!
Cikgu Rosida Ibrahim
Cikgu Rosida at her best.

Blessed art thou teachers who spark the interest of thy pupils to be the very best!
