Awesome2Ds: Reflection for Pasir Gudang Kite Museum...

Firstly, we felt quite honored to be able to visit the FIRST kite museum in Malaysia! It opened its door for the first time in February 2002 during the 7th Pasir Gudang Kite Festival, when we were only 6 years old! When visiting the Pasir Gudang Kite Museum, I was surprised at the many different types and designs of the kites there. The kites were of many colours and varied in sizes - some of the kites were about the same size as an exercise book, others could be as big as a person! The kites were meticulously crafted and some even took on the shapes of animals, such as eagles. I still remember all of our faces when we first saw the kites - shocked face with eyes wide open and mouth agape, and made comments such as "WOW!", "COOL!", "OMG!", etc. As the Pasir Gudang Kite Musuem is dedicated to the traditional Malay kite known as the Wau, it showcases the art of kite-making and displays a collection of traditional kites or wau, in spectacular colours and designs to preserve and promote as part of the Malaysian craft heritage. It also houses a collecion of more than 200 kites which once roam the skies of Bukit Layang-Layang. There were people who demostrated to us the making of kites - the carving of patterns, etc and we can honestly say that making kites are not as easy as we often think. Other than kites, we also found out that the museum has a unique working windmill whose mechanism works to generate enough electricity to supply the daily needs of the museum. Beautiful ceramic vases were also sold there, but because we had insufficent time, we did not buy them. If given a chance, I would like to make a kite on my own. To conclude, the Pasir Gudang Kite museum and the kites are WONDERFUL, MARVELLOUS, BEAUTIFUL, and INDESCRIABLE IN WORDS! Thank you!
