Mohram

My Final Project for Typography
Booklet - "Mohram"
Software : Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator

Mohram is Malaysia’s first neo-ethnic duo comprising of flutist Muhardiman Ismail (Mohar) who plays the Malay traditional bamboo, "seruling", and percussionist Ramli Hamid (Ramli Rebana) who plays the "rebana". These two instruments are the core for Malay roots music. Their music is brilliantly composed with contemporary musical instruments, and this has created a new realm of music for the soul.

Hummingbird in the yard

It was the first time I saw a hummingbird...live. It was during my semester breake at my parent's house last March back in my hometown.

I managed to capture some photos, but only two were sharp enough see because it flies too quick. It just like a bug size, very small.





General Service Medal, Elizabeth II

This General Service Medal, Elizabeth II, belongs to my late grandfather.

It's a circular silver medal with ornate scrolled ribbon suspension bar; the face with the crowned head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, circumscribed ‘ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA F.D.’ (Elizabeth II by the Grace of God Queen Defender of the Faith); the reverse with a standing winged Victory with Greek helmet, an upright trident in her left hand, a laurel wreath in her right hand crowning an upright winged sword; diameter 18.3mm (0.72 inch); on possibly original ribbon, a small piece added to the reverse, with ‘MALAYA’ clasp mounted loose on the ribbon.

The medal was instituted on 19 January 1923 to be awarded to Army and Air Force personnel involved in small conflicts outside Africa and India where a separate campaign medal was not issued. The Malaya clasp was awarded for active service in Malaya against Communist insurgents.

My grandfather's name on the side bottom of the medal.
