Beck has never traveled anywhere else to do snow art, but says on his Facebook page he’d like to: “I would like to do this in arctic Norway in the light of the Aurora.” According to the artist’s Facebook page, skills needed to make this kind of art: orienteering, physical stamina, accurate use of a compass and distance measurement by pace counting. (Photo by Simon Beck)
Simon Beck is originally an orienteering mapmaker.
Then he turned his attention to creating splendid, gigantic artistic patterns in the snow and his ‘artwork’ are so beautiful.
It must be very hard to make the snow art because of the huge size and it was done on snow field as the canvas.

The Englishman got the idea after he bought a French ski resort, Les Arcs, back in 2004. In 2009, after creating the amazing shapes, some of them size of two to three soccer fields, Beck started seriously focusing on making and photographing his art. (Photo by Simon Beck)
But once those shoes get walking, all Beck uses to guide him is an orienteering compass and measuring tape. (Photo by Simon Beck)
Conditions for ideal snow art: 9 inches of soft snow and ice half a meter thick. (Photo by Simon Beck)
So now if this screenshot is real, who are the better Muslims?
That is why the Christians in Malaysia are not allowed to call their god Allah as what the Pakatan Rakyat wanted because some people may get confused. (Please watch: Video: Naser Disa Polemik Isu Kalimah Allah)
The extreme weather has provided some spectacular images on the Sunshine Coast. (Yahoo News)
Australia’s Sunshine and Gold coasts were hit so hard by the foam that residents and tourists were asked to cancel all non-essential travel.
Yahoo News reported that:
“Tourists, residents and emergency services were left bemused by the huge swathes of foam which were whipped up by high winds and then thrown onto land in eastern Australia.”
According to the Griffith University Centre for Coastal Management, the sea foam was formed when powerful waves forced air into the water.
It was reported that the foam reached three metres high at its peak!

In Penang, a small group of people had attended a ‘Holy Book Reading’ session yesterday.

Uncle Nasharudin Mat Isa (R) and I (L) during Uncle Nasha’s daughter wedding reception, May 2012.
So, PAS has sacked YB Nasharudin Mat Isa from its Majlis Syura Ulama.
KL Pos reported that the PAS’s Majlis Syura secretary, Datuk Nik Zawawi Nik Salleh said that the decision was made during a meeting on January 13, 2013 which was chaired by the PAS’s Mursyidul Am, Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat.
PAS claimed that YB Nasha went against the party’s rule.
A lot of PAS’s leaders are not happy with Uncle Nasha because Uncle Nasha does not agree with PAS’s un-Islamic ways and ideas.
Well, now I wonder will PAS finally sack Uncle Nasha from the party before the 13th General Election?

Citrus growers across California worked frantically through the night to keep their fruit from freezing as temperatures in their orchards dropped. (Jan. 14)
This Jan. 12, 2013, photo shows frost on a tree with oranges in an orchard near Sanger, Calif., after a night of freezing temperatures.

Uncle Azril Mohd. Amin (L) and I (R) during the Forum Islam Dan Cabaran Semasa – Polemik Isu Kalimah Allah at the Auditorium Utama, Universiti Islam Antarabangsa.
I was very proud and honoured when the vice-president of Persatuan Peguam Muslim Malaysia (PPMM), Uncle Azril Mohd Amin invited us to a round table meeting organised by PPMM at the Putrajaya Marriott Hotel yesterday.
It was a closed discussion and lots of lawyers were there as well as some Islamic NGOs or NGIs activists.
My siblings and I were the only kids and teens whom were invited to that important discussion.
It was a great experience but I am sad because I don’t really understand what Uncle Azril said in his speech as he was speaking in Malay language, using difficult words.
And I can’t even read words on the English written slide show for I forgot to wear my glasses.
But fortunately Uncle Azril, my parents and my big sisters helped me to understand more about the it later on.
What was discussed was about the demands made by the Coalition of Malaysian NGOs in the Universal Periodic Review Process (COMANGO) and also about the treaty made by the United Nations regarding LGBT which Malaysia haven’t sign because Malaysia is an Islamic country.
I was shocked when I read the demands made by COMANGO.
I think that most of the demands are unfair and bias because lots of them are against the human rights of most Malaysian and also against our Federal Constitution.
Furthermore a lot of important NGOs are not part of COMANGO, so COMANGO does not represend the voice of the majority of Malaysian.
Is it fair to force a sovereign country to change parts of its Federal Constitution and to go against the human rights of the majority of its citizens or robbing their human rights; just to a make small group of people happy?
How about my human rights if their demands were accepted; because some of their demands are against my human rights.
As a citizen, I also want my human rights to be protected even though I am just a kid and I do not want my human rights to be robbed by others who fight for their own agendas.
The United Nations must understand that every country is unique and the values and the needs of its citizens is different from others so nobody must be forced to accept a universal value as the only standard of human rights.
If Malaysian eat rice, nobody must force us to eat bread instead of rice; so if Malaysia do not accept or recognise certain values, nobody must rob our rights by forcing Malaysia to accept the values.
I want to thank Uncle Azril for inviting me to the discussion because it was an important discussion about an interesting topic about Human Rights, and I learned a lot of thing from it.
