Monumen...

On monday, lecturer want us to go to jewish cemetery at jalan Zainal Abidin..to observe the monumen there.





Star of DavidThe Star of David also known as the Magen David or Shield of David expresses a spectrum of meanings from the spiritual to the practical. It seems to interlock two triangles forming a strong hexagonal structure. Some view the two opposing triangles politically: representing the unceasing conflict within and surrounding the Jewish nation. Others perceive it to represent the sacred union of opposite energies or Yin Yang.

Jewish Symbols on Grave Monuments ..

Blessing With the Hands: Hands held in benediction are the symbol of the Cohens, members of the priestly family of the tribe of Levi. This symbol indicates that deceased’ decedent was kohein (Kohen), because this hand position is used when the kohanim would bless the congregation at certain times. The kohein is a descendant of Aaron, and of ancient priestly class, and charged with performing various rites in the Temple. This symbol does not make the deceased a Rabbi. (taken from

After that, we all go for tea break!! yohoo...
So, we had been asked to design our own monumen. So, this is the sketching of my monumen. From the drawing, inside consists of 4 persons , playing different instrument respectively. There are saxophone, guitar, bagpipe and piano. I'm playing those instruments and hope that one day i can master my instruments.With this monumen, people in future can remember me as a well- known musician.
Finally, i put some colour in.
