Recorders and Blockflute

A recorder

The instrument's essential features are the lip (cut near the top of the body), the fipple (a block of wood inserted in the end to be blown), and the windway (a narrow channel along the fipple through which air is blown against the edge of the lip to produce sound).
It is difficult to document the recorder's early history due to the inability to positively identify what is and what is not a recorder in medieval art. Perhaps the earliest portrayal is an eleventh-century carving on a stone pillar in the church at Boubon-l'Achambault, St George, France.


Musica Antiqua has a set of medieval recorders built by John Hanchet according to iconographical sources and drawing upon the construction characteristics of central European
folk recorders. They are made of plumwood with a removeable windcap and foot of boxwood.
The tone quality is full and richly textured, making them suitable for solo monophonic pieces as well as mixed ensemble typical of medieval polyphony.

A Special Pet

Dear Diary,

I have a pet Arowana. I know that the Arowana is special to me because it always swims around the fish tank and makes me happy when i feel sad.

My father met this Arowana at the Pasir Ris fish farm.When my father went inside the shop, he saw many Arowanas. So he went to look at all of them. He took a long time to decide which Arowana to buy for his birthday present. One and a half hour later, he decided to buy this Arowana.

I know that Arowanas can live for a long time but the last Arowana he had was found dead on the floor. So i would feed this Arowana until he grows big.

Mohammad Zharfan!

Electric Fans and Washing Machines.

I use the electric fans frequently.

This household item is a electric fan.

I use this electric fan for sleeping, when i feel hot and when i use the psp.

This household item is very easy to use. First you must make sure that the plug is fixed properly to the power supply and then you just need to press the buttons 1 2 or 3.

Total Defence Day


I will defend Racial Harmony and Multi-Cultural Society because without racial harmony and the unity of the people, the country will have many problems. If this country has many problems, other countries can do whatever they like to us.
