VISIT MALACCA

A' famosa in Malacca

A’Famosa is more than just quick photo stop opportunity for tourists. Built in 1511, the settlement used to sprawl across a whole hillside but now only a lone gate (Porta de Santiago) remains. One of the oldest surviving European architectural remains in Asia; it is set beside the Istana keSultanan on Jalan Kota.
A’Famosa is perhaps Malacca’s best known sightseeing spot. Originally constructed by Alfonso de Albuquerque (who led the Portuguese invasion on the Malacca Sultanate), the remains of the fort is now a crumbling whitewashed gatehouse and is located downhill from St. Paul’s Church.

Portuguese history

At the beginning of the 16th century, the Portuguese were establishing outposts in Macau, China and India in order to create a string of friendly ports for their ships plying the routes between China and Portugal. Malacca’s growing popularity meant that it was fast becoming an important link for Portugal to the Spice Route in China. In 1511 the Portuguese fleet, under the command of Alfonso de Albuquerque arrived and launched an attack on the armies of the Malacca Sultanate and defeated them. 
Albuquerque moved swiftly to consolidate his gains by building a fortress around a hill near the sea. He used 1,500 slaves to construct A’Famosa as a stronghold to defend against foreign invasion.

Dutch history

In 1641 the Dutch wrested control of A’Famosa from the Portuguese and drove them out of the city. What remains is largely the Dutch reconstruction as they carried out renovation works in 1670, following the siege. To this day you can see a small inscription (ANNO 1670) on the fort’s arch as well as the coat-of-arms of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). 
A’Famosa changed hands again when Malacca fell into British hands during expansionist Napoleonic times. Initially under the impression that the VOC was to act as a caretaker administration until a time when the Dutch were able to fully resume control, they had no idea the fort would soon be lost to them forever.

British history

Due to the fact that they offered too little and asked for too much, the Dutch forces soon lost the respect of their Malay subjects and in the early 19th century Malacca was fully conquered by the British. Wary of maintaining the fort, should it fall into enemy hands, the English ordered its destruction in 1806.
Fortunately, Sir Stamford Raffles (founder of Singapore) who was visiting Malacca in 1810 arrived in the nick of time. Due to his love of history he stepped in before the complete destruction of the old fortress. It was a close call though and the crumbling remains of Porta de Santiago, a small gate house, were all that could be salvaged from total destruction.When work was undertaken on the Menara Taming Sari revolving tower in 2006, another part of the A’Famosa was discovered. As a result the revolving tower was relocated further inland and A’Famosa’s newly-discovered fortress walls were reconstructed.

Baba and Nyonya Peranakan Museum

Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum Malacca situated at Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock also known as Heeren Street or Millionaire row. The museum actually is the house belongs to wealth Baba Nyonya family. The house was built somewhere 1895 during the British rules Malacca. Baba Nyonya house also known as Rumah Abu (Ancestral Home) was kept secret from the outside world until today. Most of the Baba Nyonya house have a size about 20 feet width and 180 feet long. Due of the length of the house, the air well was built at the middle of the house to allow a better air circulation.  The visitor is not allowed to take any picture or video recording during your tour to Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum Malacca.
The idea to established Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum came from Mr. Chan Kim Lay who has the opportunity to visit few museum at  overseas. Although his idea was opposed by the Baba Nyonya community for revealing the Baba Nyonya house to the public, it did not dampen his desire to share the history and the way of life of Baba Nyonya Malacca descent to the world. In here tourist able to see the original actual design and layout of the house, the mosaic and oil lamp was import from United Kingdom during the reign of Queen Victoria, Chinese Porcelain, Chinese traditional wedding ceremony and the fine art. We encourage tourist go for guided tour to better understand Baba Nyonya Malacca Culture rather visiting the Museum by own.

CULTURE DIVERSITY

Cultural Diversity

Malaysia has an extremely culturally diverse environment to offer. Not only is it multi-cultural, but it is also filled with many different ethnicities and religions that can broaden your perspective and build your inter-cultural communication skills, preparing you to be a global citizen who will be at home in any country or culture in the world.

The three largest ethnic groups in Malaysia are the Malays, Chinese and Indians. They are complemented by minority ethnic races that include the Orang Asli, or aboriginals, the Eurasians, Peranakan and people from East Malaysia such as the Iban, Dayak, Melanau, Kadazandusun, Bajau and others. To add to this abundance of heritages, the different races have been mixing and marrying over a period of time, forming new, distinctive ethnic groups such as the Peranakans and Eurasians who have added colour to Malaysia’s sociological scene.

As a foreign student in Malaysia, you will soon become entranced with the way all the races come together to celebrate one another’s festivals and traditions. While Islam is the national religion of the country, freedom of religion is practised in Malaysia, allowing the people to embrace other religions like Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism and Christianity. Thus, whatever religion you practise, you are bound to find a house of worship belonging to your faith in Malaysia.

One of the things you will most enjoy about the festivals of each ethnic group in Malaysia is the fact that all the communities get together to celebrate. The major festivals of the different faiths are Hari Raya Puasa, celebrated at the end of the Muslim fasting month, Chinese New Year , Deepavali and Christmas, during which the community observing the festival will hold an “open house” party.

This is a uniquely Malaysian custom in which the celebrating community will play host to the others in their homes or, in the case of dignitaries, in a hall or stadium. It is an unspoken rule that everybody is welcome at an open house.

The presence of varied ethnic groups in Malaysia has also resulted in a rich heritage in terms of the arts. Malaysia is home to unique Malay art forms such as wayang kulit, silat, makyong and gamelan. The Indians have enriched the country with ancient dance traditions such as Bharatanatyam and Odissi, as well as the livelier Bhangra from Punjab. The Chinese have made their lion dance and war drums a firm part of the country’s culture. Other minorities in Malaysia also have their traditional dances like the Sumazau from the Kadazandusun in Sabah and the Ngajat by the Iban of Sarawak.

As a student in Malaysia, you will have the opportunity to observe many traditional art forms, but rest assured that you’ll also have the chance to be immersed in contemporary culture as Malaysian society is modern and progressive.

STRESS IN CAMPUS

College Stress Survival Guide

Handling college stress is one of the bigger challenges students face during their time in school. From classes and bad professors to relationships and time management, the stress of college life always remains present. Fortunately, however, having stress in college doesn't always have to mean being stressed in college. With a little planning and insight (such as the info. found in this college stress survival guide), you can make sure your college experience -- and not your stress level -- is one 
to remember.

How To Reduce Stress While in College

1. Most Importantly: Don't Stress About Being Stressed
   This may seem ridiculous at first, but it is listed first for a reason: when you're feeling stressed, you feel like you're on edge and everything is barely being held together. Don't beat yourself up too badly about it! It's all normal, and the best way to handle stress is to not get more stressed about . . . being stressed. If you're stressed out, admit it and figure out how to handle it. Focusing on it will only make things seem worse.
2. Get Some Sleep
   Being in college means your sleep schedule is, most likely, far from ideal. Getting more sleep can help your mind refocus, recharge, and rebalance. This can mean a quick nap, a night when you go to bed early, or a promise to yourself to stick with a regular sleep schedule. Sometimes, one good night's sleep can be all you need to hit the ground running a midst a stressful time.
3. Get Some Food
   Similar to your sleep habits, your eating habits may have gone by the wayside when you started school. Think about what -- and when -- you've eaten over the past few days. You may think your stress is psychological, but you could also be feeling physical stress (and the "Freshman 15") if you're not fueling your body appropriately. Go eat something balanced and healthy: fruits and veggies, whole grains, protein. Make your mama proud with what you choose for dinner tonight! Lastly, if your meal plan itself is one more thing making you stressed, learn how to pick a plan that's right for you.
4. Get Some Exercise
   You may think that if you don't have the time to sleep and eat properly, you definitely don't have the time to exercise. Fair enough, but if you're feeling stressed, it may be that you need to squeeze it in somehow. Exercise doesn't necessarily have to involve a 2-hour, exhausting workout at the campus gym. It can mean a relaxing, 30-minute walk while listening to your favorite music. In fact, in a little over an hour, you can 1) walk 15 minutes to your favorite off-campus restaurant, 2) eat a quick and healthy meal, 3) walk back, and 4) take a power nap. Imagine how much better you'll feel!
5. Get Some Quiet Time
   Take one moment and think: when was the last time you had some quality, quiet time alone? Personal space for students in college rarely exists. You may share your room, your bathroom, your classrooms, your dining hall, the gym, the bookstore, the library, and anywhere else you go during an average day. Finding a few moments of peace and quiet - with no cell phone, roommates, or crowds - might be just what you need. Stepping out from the crazy college environment for a few minutes can do wonders for reducing your stress.
6. Get Some Social Time
   Have you been working on that English paper for 3 days straight? Can you even see what you're writing anymore for your Chemistry lab? You could be stressed because you're being too focused on getting things done. Don't forget that your brain is like a muscle, and even it needs a break every once in a while! Take a break and see a movie. Grab some friends and go out dancing. Hop a bus and hang out downtown for a few hours. Having a social life is an important part of your college experience, so don't be afraid to keep it in the picture when you're stressed. It could be when you need it most!
7. Get Some Fun
   You may be stressed about one particular thing: a final paper due Monday, a class presentation due Thursday. You basically just need to sit down and plow through it. If this is the case, try to figure out how to make it a little more fun and enjoyable. Is everyone writing final papers? Agree to work together in your room for 2 hours and then order pizza together for dinner. Do a lot of your classmates have huge presentations to put together? See if you can reserve a classroom or room in the library where you can all work together and share supplies. You may just lower everyone's stress level.
8. Get Some Distance
   You may be handling your own problems and trying to help others around you. While this can be nice for them, check in and be honest with yourself about how your helpful demeanor may be causing more stress in your life. It's okay to take a step back and focus on yourself for a little while, especially if you are stressed and your academics are at risk. After all, how can you keep helping others if you're not even in a state to help yourself? Figure out which things are causing you the most stress and how you can take a step back from each. And then, most importantly, take that step.
9. Get a Little Help
   It can be hard to ask for help, and unless your friends are psychic, they may not know how stressed out you are. Most college students are going through the same things at the same thing, so don't feel silly if you need to just vent for 30 minutes over coffee with a friend. It may help you process out what you need to do, and help you realize that the things you are so stressed about are actually pretty manageable. If you're afraid of dumping too much on a friend, most colleges have counseling centers specifically for their students. Don't be afraid to make an appointment if you think it will help.
10. Get Some Perspective
    College life can be overwhelming. You want to hang out with your friends, join clubs, explore off campus, join a fraternity or sorority, and be involved in the campus newspaper. It can sometimes feel like there aren't enough hours in the day . . . because there aren't. There's only so much any person can handle, but you need to remember the reason why you're in school: academics. No matter how exciting your co-curricular life can be, you won't be able to enjoy any of it if you don't pass your classes. Make sure to keep your eye on the prize and then head out and change the world!
