My BIRTHDAY CARD ABOUT
Hello!my name is azri bin yunus.iam 1081107785.So,i did the birthday card by following abit from this example...
PULUT KUNING
Pulut kuning is actually the part of art in malay culture.Besides taking a normal food,pulut kuning is the special food for malay along time ago,it is for medicine or religion.
In the text of malay history,yellow is for sultan colour.Yellow colour are been respect along time ago.So,they did this pulut using yellow colour because it is very special.
Besides that,ritual ceremony,religion ceremony,and many more,they always give pulut kuning for the guest who come.They said without those pulut kuning the ceremony will not nice.The objective to give the pulut kuning also is the give respect to the guest who come.
BIRTHDAY ORIGIN
Birthday is the name given to the date of the anniversary of the day of a person's birth. People in many cultures celebrate this anniversary. In some languages, the word for birthday literally translates as "anniversary". Birthdays are traditionally marked by celebrations including a birthday party or, in some particular cases, a rite of transition.
Islam
In Islam, some Sunni and Shia Muslim scholars oppose birthdays. This stance stems from the Hadith which forbids the adoption of festivities and occasions of other religions or paganism into Islam.
Other Muslim scholars[citation needed], however, do allow celebration of the birthday of the prophet Muhammad, although it is important to note there is no basis for this exception either, that is, no evidence in the Qur'an or Hadith.
Celebration
[edit] Birthday cake
The birthday cake is traditionally highly decorated, and typically covered with lit candles when presented, the number of candles signifying the age of the celebrant. The person whose birthday it is may make a silent wish and then blow out the candles. After that, the person can open their presents. It is also common for the person celebrating their birthday to cut the initial piece of the cake as a newlywed couple might with a wedding cake.
Birthday cakes date back as far as the Middle Ages when the English would conceal symbolic items such as gold coins, rings and thimbles inside their cakes.[citation needed] Each item was associated with a prediction. For example, a person finding a gold coin in a birthday cake would supposedly become wealthy; a person discovering a thimble would never marry.
Sometimes special candles are substituted for the many individual candles in the shape of a numeral. For example, on the fifth birthday, there may be one candle on the cake in the shape of the numeral five, and on the fiftieth birthday there may be two candles on the cake, one in the shape of the numeral five followed by the other in the shape of the number zero.

Chinese New Year
CHINESE NEW YEAR is
Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is often called the Lunar New Year, especially by people in mainland China and Taiwan. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Year's Eve is known as Chúxī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve".
Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbours, as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction. These include Koreans, Mongolians, Nepalese, Bhutanese, Vietnamese, and formerly the Japanese before 1873. In Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and other countries or regions with significant Han Chinese populations, Chinese New Year is also celebrated, and has, to varying degrees, become part of the traditional culture of these countries. In Canada, although Chinese New Year is not an official holiday, many ethnic Chinese hold large celebrations and Canada Post issues New Year's themed stamps in domestic and international rates.
Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese New Year vary widely. However, they still share many common themes such as the reunion dinner on New Year's eve, as well as setting off firecrackers.
Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously numbered years, its years are often numbered from the reign of huangdi outside China. But at least three different years numbered 1 are now used by various scholars, making the year 2009 "Chinese Year" 4707, 4706, or 4646.
