Merdeka ke-52

Baru aku perasan , dikala ini ,entah mengapa semangat patriotisme dalam diri pun semakin pudar.Mungkin aku menuntut di seberang laut, ataupun sudah malas nak ambil tahu berita-berita dari Tanah air, lebih2 lagi bila ianya menyentuh hal-hal politik.Pun begitu, aku sangat terhutang budi kepada kerajaan Malaysia , Duta kat Tokyo khasnya, kerana tidak pernah miss hantar scholar tiap-tiap bulan,on time lagi, arigatou gozaimashita!!
Jujurnya aku tidak memahami gagasan 1Malaysia yang diteraju oleh Dato Seri Najib nih.Sekali-sekala cuba jugak google kat mane2 site, terutamanya yang pro-gamen,dan pada hemat aku, mungkin ia tidak lebih sebagai counter konsep Malaysia for Malaysian oleh DAP,dan penerimaannya masih belum boleh dicongak lagi sebenarnya.
Dibesarkan dalam suasana kampung, sekolah pon 100% Melayu, even keluar masuk 2 biji U pon dikelilingi dengan muka-muka Melayu, membuatkan aku sangat terasing bila aku masuk Ipoh, Teluk Intan, ataupun Batu Gajah, yang rata2 orang kat situ orang cina.Bila sampai Jepun, barulah dapat kawan Cina,original dari China, dan member India dari India,pathetic sungguh...Hope lepas pulang ke tanah air nanti , dapat ramai kawan2 dari berbilang-bilang bangsa,tak kirala cina ke,india ke, kadazan ke , bajau ke, murut ke,. dari situ barulah kita tahu,siapa sebenarnya kita di atas dunia ni , .. kita bukanlah siapa-siapa...

"kita adalah siapa kawan kita..."-Dato Dr Haji Ahmad Fadzillah Kamsah.

Convertible Camper: DIY Japanese-Style Mobile Home

10 comments

What could be cooler than designing and building your own customized motor home from scratch? How about this: add not only every standard camper car amenity but also include a hydraulic lift system to give yourself a second-story Japanese-style zen loft space complete with rice paper windows and tatami mats.

This industrious crew of friends converted an old truck into a contemporary and fully-equipped mobile home and even documented the process to prove it (and illustrate it for those who might want to follow their example). Metal construction makes the entire load more light-weight and manageable.

Since completely their project, they have taken their creation on the road and traveled through much of Japan, stopping in camping sites and parking spots wherever they found them along the way. Suddenly, due to the transforming element of the design, normal highway height restrictions are no longer obstacles.

Inside, everything on the first floor of this custom mobile house has a thrown-together look – a kitchen, living area and utilities built for saving space and increasing functionality. On the second floor, however, it is a different story – function gives way to feng shui and spatial relationships, simple decorative touches, warm materials and soft lighting take over.

Best of all, it is clear that the creators of this crazy modern moving house have taken the time to enjoy the fruits of their labors, tripping around the country but also pausing to gather, communicate and celebrate along the way.
