demography

Since past few years,Malaysia's' population still doesn't show any drastic increases. The number is not decreasing from years to years,and maybe this is the result of the maturity of our Malaysia's' thinking as they are started to admit that 'quality is much more better than quantity'.. Having too much increases of our population could create troubles to our country as there are not enough hand to take care of all those teenagers, especially..isn't it right??!

Girl's Festival in Japan

Have you ever heard about the Girl's Festival? If you are not used to the Japanese custom, this might sound a bit rare to you. Actually it is a common custom practised by Japanese parents to celebrate their children especially the girls during the festival held. This to ensure their girl's happiness in the future ahead.

This festival was legally established in 1687. It exists since the Edo period (17-19 centuries) and is celebrated annually on the third day of March. Other name for this festival are "Hina-no-sekku", "Hina-Matsuri" which means "Doll's Festival" and "Momo-no-sekku" which means "Peach Blossom Festival".

On that day, the girls will be well dressed up and wear some make-up. It was uncommon for Japanese children to wear make-up but since this is their special day, they are given excuse to do so.

The most popular and "must have" things to celebrate the festival is the set of ornamental dolls, "hina-ningyo". Platforms with a red "hi-mosen" are use to display the doll set. The set of hina dolls and props in the house will be display to wish the girls happiness. Among the props are the peach blossoms, cube rice cakes, special coloured and diamond shaped rice cakes and white sake are made.

Although that, it is believed that any hina doll display should be taken down soon after the festival day ; otherwise the girls might have to wait for a long time to get married.
