Assalamualaikum, so this week is my turn to write a blog about games. I would like to share about traditional games because I am addicted with traditional games. In Malaysia, traditional games are the most famous games among the Malay in Malaysia. There's some example of traditional games such as Congkak, Wau, Batu Seremban, Gasing and many more. My favourite game all the time is Congkak.
Congkak
This traditional games need 2 persons per game. Congkak is actually a board game which usualy made from wood and has two rows of seven holes and two bigger holes. Each of the houses then filled with seven seeds or marbles and the store house will be left empty. Congkak is the interesting game to be played by all. Moreover, the board of congkak can be used as a beautiful decorations in the house, offices or any suitable places to add the traditional values in the environment. Last but not least, the moral value from playing this traditional games are can entertain someone because it is fun and can be played in a group and from that we can spent our time with beneficial things.

MALAYSIA DAY
Assalamualaikum and hye guys, I'm back😍☺️ Today I want to write about the value of celebrating 'MALAYSIA DAY'. Hari Malaysia is the Malaysia Day☺️ It is a national holiday which is celebrated on 16 Sept every year. A little touch of history is the history of formation of Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak, Singapore and Malaya Federation together to form Malaysia on 16 September 1963. Singapore became independent on 03/06/1959, Sarawak became independent on 22/07/1963, Sabah became independent on 31/08/1963. While the formation of Malaysia 16/09/1963. This means that all these countries have been independent before the formation of Malaysia. No terms of Sabah, Sarawak independence by joining Malaysia. However, the 1963 Malaysia Aggrement void difficult after Singapore out of Malaysia.
So going back to the topic of value we celebrate Malaysia Day is if we say of culture, it does not define your identity, it just strengthens it. You aren't Malaysian because of your culture. You are Malaysian because of your respect, loyalty and commitment of the nation and its people.
Futhermore, it's not just the clothing that we wear or the food that we eat. Also it's not just the festival that we share, nor different races that we meet. Instead of it, it is a:
Kepercayaan Kepada Tuhan
Kesetiaan Kepada Raja Dan Negara
Keluhuran Perlembagaan
Kedaulatan Undang-Undang
Kesopanan Dan Kesusilaan
It's upholding the promises and oaths we give to God, our country and to each other. The pride and respect we give, also casting aside religion. Together we be united under the Jalur Gemilang. Through the ups and down and to say I'm proud of my country and I'm proud of Malaysia!
Thank you for reading my blog. Ermm..hope you have a wonderful day. Peace out😘✌🏻 Written by, Norbari'ah bt. Kamaluddin
