Brain Gym Test

Lets Start HERE !!!

Read it OUT LOUD the text inside the triangle below!



What do you mention? "A BIRD IN THE BUSH." And.......
If this IS what YOU said, then you failed to see that
the word THE is repeated twice!
SORRY, Look again!


Next, lets play with some WORDS.
WHAT DO YOU SEE?


In black you can read the word GOOD, in white the word EVIL (inside each black letter is a white letter). It's all very physiological too, because it visualize the concept that good can't exist without evil (or the absence of good is evil ).

Now, go to the next level :


You may not see it at first, but the white spaces read the word optical, the blue landscape reads the word illusion. Look again! Can you see why this painting is called an optical illusion?

Now, what do you see here?


The Word TEACH is reflect to LEARN
means what, that while TEACHING, We are actually LEARNING
so...... A TEACHER IS ALSO A LEARNER

Last one....
What do you see?


You probably read the word ME in brown, but.......
when you look through ME
you will see
YOU!




Do you need to look again?
Hahahaha.........

Happy Mid Autumn Festival

"Happy Mid Autumn Festival" or "Moon Cake Festival"


Let's Celebrate Moon Cake Festival!! This year it comes at Sept 11th, 2011 Western Calendar or the 15th of August in Chinese Calendar.

What is the meaning behind celebrating Moon Cake Festival? It is actually came from the folk-story about "Zhong Qiu Jie" First lady on the moon: It is generally conceded that Neil Armstrong , the American astronaut, was the first man on moon ( he made that historic landing in 1969). But that's not necessarily the truth to Chinese, who believe that the first people on the moon was a beautiful woman who lived during the Hsia dynasty (2205-1766BC)

This somewhat complicated moon-landing story goes like this: A woman , Chang-O, was married to the great General Hou-Yi of the Imperial Guard. General Hou was a skilled archer. One day, at the behest of the emperor, he shot down eight of nine suns that had mysteriously appeared in the heaven that morning. His marksmanship was richly rewarded by the emperor and he became very famous. However, the people feared that these suns would appear again to torture them and dry up the planet, so they prayed to the Goddess of Heaven (Wang Mu) to make General Hou immortal so that he could always defend the emperor, his progeny and the country. Their wish was granted and General Hou was given a Pill of Immortality.

This festival is also known as the Moon Cake Festival because a special kind of sweet cake (yue bing) prepared in the shape of the moon and filled with sesame seeds, ground lotus seeds and duck eggs is served as a traditional Chung Chiu delicacy. Nobody actually knows when the custom of eating moon cake of celebrate the Moon Festival began, but one relief traces its origin to the 14th century. At the time, China was in revolt against the Mongols. Chu Yuen-chang, and his senior deputy, Liu Po-wen, discussed battle plan and developes a secret moon cake strategy to take a certain walled city held by the Mongol enemy. Liu dressed up as a Taoist priest and entered the besieged city bearing moon cake. He distributed these to the city's populace. When the time for the year's Chung Chiu festival arrived, people opened their cakes and found hidden messages advising them to coordinate their uprising with the troops outside.

To celebrate this sighting of the moon, red plastic lanterns wrought in traditional styles and embellished with traditional motifs are prepared for the occasion. It is quite a sight to see Victoria Park in Causeway Bay, or Morse Park in Kowloon, alight with thousands of candlelit lanterns. These "Lantern Carnivals" also occur spontaneously on most of the colony's beaches.

The lantern are made in such traditional shapes are rabbits, goldfish, carps, butterflies, lobsters and star-shaped fruits. However, in modern Hong Kong you will also see lantern in the shape of missiles, airplanes, rockets, ships and tanks. In Chinese mythology, the butterfly is the symbols of longevity and the lobster the symbols or mirth. Star-shaped fruit is the seasonal fruit in the autumn, and the crap is an old symbol of the Emperor, personifying strength, courage, wisdom and, of course, power.

By celebrating Mooncake Festival, we hope this earth will full of love, caring people and all mankind... 中秋节快乐!!!

Chinese Stroke
bǐ huà
笔画

Teknis menulis Bahasa Mandarin tidak boleh asal asalan, ada teknik dan aturannya. Untuk mempermudahnya perlu kita pelajari dahulu stroke-stroke dasarnya. Terdapat 8 (delapan) stroke dasar yang kemudian bisa dimodifikasi menjadi berbagai variasi untuk membentuk aksara Mandarin yang serumit apapun.

Delapan goresan dasar menulis Bahasa Mandarin tersebut adalah :
1. 点diǎn (titik),

titik bervariasi bentuknya, bisa titik kekanan
titik kekiri, titik tengah.


2. 横héng (horizontal),

goresan horizontal/mendatar ini menulisnya selalu dari kiri ke kanan, dilarang menulis dari arah sebaliknya.

3. 竖shú (vertikal)

menulis goresan ini selalu dimulai dari atas ke bawah, lurus/tegak lurus kebawah, dilarang menulis dari arah sebaliknya.







4. 撇piě (hempas ke kiri)

menulis goresan ini dimulai dari sudut kanan atas, membuat coretan serong ke arah kiri bawah, mula-mula pena agak ditekan sehingga hasilnya tampak bagian atas lebih tebal, setelah 2/3 dari garis kemudian dihempas dan tenaga dikurangi.


5. 捺nà (hempas kanan)

menulis goresan ini kebalikan dari piě, dimulai dari sudut kiri atas serong ke kanan bawah, mula-mula jangan terlalu tekan sampai 2/3 dari garis pena ditekan sedikit, kemudian dihempaskan ke kanan.



6. 提tì (angkat)

dimulai dari sudut kiri bawah membuat garis serong ditarik dari kiri bawah ke kanan atas. Stroke ini kelihatan seperti menyendok, arah bawah lebih tebal dari pada atas.



7. 钩gōu (centelan/berkait)
membuat goresan ini, pertama-tama membuat garis vertikal terlebih dahulu, setelah itu pena jangan dilepas, melainkan dihempas keatas perlahan-lahan sehingga terbentuk kaitan kecil




8. 折zhè (patah)
membuat goresan ini, pertama-tama membuat garis horizontal, sampai batas yang kita inginkan, pena jangan dilepas, kemudian langsung membuat garis vertikal, walaupun stroke ini terdiri dua coretan yaitu héng dan zhè tetapi tetap dikira satu coretan yaitu ”zhè”. Stroke zhè hanya bisa dibuat di dua posisi saja yaitu pada sudut ”kananatas” dan ”kiribawah”.

Untuk kombinasi dan variasi dari pada ke delapan stroke diatas, dapat dilihat pada tabel dibawah ini :


Learning Chinese - Phonetics

Phonetics
Yǔyīn
语音

Di dalam Bahasa Mandarin kita juga mengenal adanya “Phonetic” atau ejaan bahasa Mandarin, atau disebut juga “Han-yu Pin-yin”.
“Han-yu Pin-yin” adalah huruf-huruf (abjad) untuk mengeja, suatu alat bantu yang sangat berguna untuk mengetahui cara membaca huruf Kanji yang belum kita kenal.
Lafal “Han-yu Pin-yin” berasal dari simbol-simbol lama yang disebut ”Zhu-yin fu-hao”, yang direformasi dengan menggunakan abjad untuk mempermudah orang asing dalam mempelajari bahasa Mandarin, tetapi lafalnya tetap diambil dari ”Zhu-yin fu-hao”.

I. 声母shēngmǔ (Initials)


II. 韵母yùnmǔ (Finals)
a o e
i u ü

III. 声调shēngdiào (Tones / NadaBaca)
“Shēngdiào” atau Nada Baca merupakan ciri khas dari bahasa Mandarin, yang tidak boleh diabaikan karena apabila nada bacanya salah maka akan menghasilkan arti yang sama sekali berbeda dan mungkin akan dapat menimbulkan kesalahpahaman.
Menurut Kamus Bahasa Mandarin yang terlengkap, ada tercatat sekitar 65.000 satuan huruf (tunggal), sedangkan hanya ada 400 bunyi/lafal untuk huruf-huruf tersebut, jadi bisa dibayangkan ada banyak huruf yang mempunyai bunyi yang hampir sama tetapi artinya berbeda. Untuk membedakannya, “shēngdiào” memegang peranan yang sangat penting.
“shēngdiào” ada 4 nada utama dan nada netral / suara ringan, antara lain:
─ ∕ V \
1. 第一声dì yī shēng (Nada pertama)
ā ī ū
2. 第二声dì èr shēng (Nada kedua)
á í ú
3. 第三声dì sān shēng (Nada ketiga)
ǎ ǐ ǔ
4. 第四声dì sì shēng (Nada keempat)
à ì ù
5. 轻声qīng shēng (Nada netral/nada ringan)
biasanya nada ringan ini ditandai dengan tanda titik diatasnya, ataupun hanya dikosongkan saja tanpa diberi nada baca, maka meskipun kita mengetahui kata / huruf tersebut nilai nada bacanya yang keberapa, kita harus abaikan nilai bacanya dan membacanya dengan suara ”ringan”. Suara ringan biasanya dipakai untuk kata ulang dan juga apabila terdapat serangkaian kata yang harus diucapkan secara berentetan dengan cepat, sehingga kurang enak diucapkan dengan nilai nada baca aslinya.

IV. 拼音pìnyūn (Initial-final combinations)
