Angklung is a musical instrument made out of two bamboo tubes attached to a bamboo frame. The tubes are carved so that they have a resonant pitch when struck. The two tubes are tuned to octaves. The base of the frame is held with one hand while the other hand shakes the instrument rapidly from side to side. This causes a rapidly repeating note to sound. Thus each of three or more angklung performers in an ensemble will play just one note and together complete melodies are produced. Angklung is popular throughout Southeast Asia, but originated from Indonesia (used and played by the Sundanese since the ancient times).
That's so cool, Rihanna's song(Umbrella) in played in Angklung!!
20th century, the angklung was adopted in Thailand, where it is called angkalung (อังกะลุง). The Thai angklung are typically tuned in the Thai tuning system of seven equidistant steps per octave, and each angklung has three bamboo tubes tuned in three separate octaves rather than two, as is typical in Indonesia.
Angklung had also been adopted by its Austronesian neighbours, inparticularly Malaysia and the Philippines, where they are rather played as part of bamboo xylophone orchestras. They are generally played using a pentatonic scale similar to the Indonesian slendro, although in the Philippines, sets also come in the diatric and minor scales used to perform various Spanish-influenced folk music.
It's cool to have Angklung club in AMC!!

The journey back to Damansara
Well, my parents took us back to Damansara today and before we went to the Metro Kajang Developer's office and we went to T.T.D.I.
We had our lunch there, my cousins were with me...though they're young and cute but they're pure evil!!!I know they're half Malaysian and half Dutch...but they don't have to be so 'evil'!!But they're cute anyway...hehe...and I was playing with them, I just saw one of my favourite dancer Dennis,he was buying chicken rice there..one of his partner was with him as well...I'm so happy today but a little sad as well because something really unhappy happened to me.After that we went back to the show unit and have another look at those houses.And finally,I can have a chance to shop in One Utama!But my mom stopped me from buying everything there...sigh...such wet blanket...The day ended with tiredness...
We went back to Ipoh just like that.
