Volleyball

Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules.

The complete rules are extensive. But simply, play proceeds as follows: A player on one of the teams begins a 'rally' by serving the ball (tossing or releasing it and then hitting it with a hand or arm), from behind the back boundary line of the court, over the net, and into the receivinga team's court. The receiving team must not let the ball be grounded within their court. They may touch the ball as many as three times. Typically, the first two touches are used to set up for an attack, an attempt to direct the ball back over the net in such a way that the serving team is unable to prevent it from being grounded in their court.

The rally continues, with each team allowed as many as three consecutive touches, until either (1): a team makes a kill, grounding the ball on the opponent's court and winning the rally; or (2): a team commits a fault and loses the rally. The team that wins the rally is awarded a point, and serves the ball to start the next rally. A few of the most common faults include:

• causing the ball to touch the ground outside the opponents' court or without first passing over the net;
• catching and throwing the ball;
• double hit: two consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same player;
• four consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same team.
• net foul: touching the net during play.

The ball is usually played with the hands or arms, but players can legally strike or push (short contact) the ball with any part of the body.

A number of consistent techniques have evolved in volleyball, including spiking and blocking (because these plays are made above the top of the net, the vertical jump is an athletic skill emphasized in the sport) as well as passing, setting, and specialized player positions and offensive and defensive structures.

Wau Bulan

Wau bulan is an intricately designed Malaysian moon-kite (normally with floral motifs) that is traditionally flown by men in the Malaysian state of Kelantan. It is one of Malaysia's national symbols, some others being the kris and hibiscus. The reverse side of the fifty-cent coin of Malaysia (1989 series) features an intricately-decorated wau bulan with a hummer on top. The logo of Malaysia Airlines (MAS) is also based on this kite.

There are many types of wau in Malaysia, each with its own specialty. Wau kucing (cat kite) and wau merak (peacock kite ) are some of the variants.

Wau bulan got its name from the crescent moon-like shape of its lower section (bulan means "moon" in Bahasa Malaysia). Given the right colour, wau bulan apparently resembles a rising crescent moon when flown.

The size of wau bulan is bigger than any other Malaysian traditional kite. The typical size is 2.5 meters in width and 3.5 meters in length. This make the decorations painted on the kite's body to be visible when it is flown high in the air. to make it more distinctive, wau bulan is normally decorated with large, strong-coloured patterns.

LIFE IS A JOURNEY

All of life is a journey which paths we take, what we look back on, and what we look forward to is up to us. we determine our destination, what kind of road we will take to get there. Life is a long journey, which has to be travel by very existing life form. Some journey is short span while some are to extensive. In this journey, we have to get ahead of from several phases. We may come across many hurdles. It's not always a bed of roses. You will find thorns on the way. some are venomous, which can take life.

A great personality said this" Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming." We meet many travellers in the track of our journey. Everyone has his or her own destiny. Some voyagers choose their destiny with their co-travellers and walk with them hand-in -hand to a certain distance showing beautiful dreams and creating an unbreakable attachment. Only few stand to their word, but most of them are so selfish that they utilize for their selfishness and finally leave them in the midst of a storm. This phase of life is too harsh. Then there is only loneliness and memories which kill us every minute. You feel as though you have lost your way and your destiny. Life seems to be aimless and the journey more tiring and difficult, as you has to live a lifeless life. the memories and loneliness keeps haunting your until your death.

In the journey of life, we meet to make memories, we part to preserve them. We may meet many travellers extending hands to make our journey smooth. But we are in a dilemma "whether to trust or not?" This becomes the biggest issue. But the journey continues until we get the call from God.

"Life is journey, what a journey it is?
Mo one understood it, no one know it."
