WAU BULAN
To build a kite, we need a skill... To build a Wau...
It need a passion, craftsmanship, and art...
This is a special kind of kite that's obliged a lot of
concentration and a good strength of arms...
Believe it or not, because of it massive size
it can even leave a child off the ground...
It really need a good arms to control and manuever it
once launched and flying through the air...
Once it's aerial, it'll mesmerizes our eyes
as it dancing through the airflow...
What we can only do is... just gazing at it beauty,
and controlling it drifts... With pride and dignity ...
GASING/TOP
It really takes a skill to loop a rope around the top and spin it ...
It's depended on your skills and confidences
to keep it spinning for as long as possible...
The other type of playing it is hit the opponent's top
until it falls or diverted out of the circle line...
It's get intenses if you cracked or break your opponent's top
and the drama's begin...
Heat arguments and challenges accepted
is a common hype in this type of game...
GULI/MARBLE
There's a tremendous games you can play with this shining crystalline ball...
The most popular is marble throwing game to others opponents's marbles
in a circle line as many as you can...
usually played on grassy ground or sandy area
so as not to be easily thrown away when it get hit by a thrown marble...
Some compiled it as a collector...
Those hard and glassy orb really make us glazing...
CONGKAK
If you like to count then this's the game for you...
It starts with the same amount of pieces
(usually shellfish or marbles) places in each holes...
The exciment begin as the 2 opposite contender
race to collect whose has the most pieces...
It is a common usually played by women at leisure time
after a tiring day of work managing the household...
But it doesn't mean the men have to show
their feminine side to play this game...
It's a family refreshment all around...
SEPAK RAGA
For 600 years it had been played in our homeland as a light leisure
or sport entertainment aimed for young and matures...
It can be played within a court or just in rounded position
with each players take turn to juggle
made of rattan bent into a round figure...
Nowaday it' s an international event...
Various countries east and west competed
to be the best showdown in acrobatic skills
and to be crowned as the 'killer tekong'
or the smash executor...
