as 2012 getting nearer, Mr wan asked we to design our own monument. we are also been assigned to go for a site visit at the Jewish Cemetery situated at Jalan Zainal Abidin. interesting...
so we went there right after we have out lunch after class. its a very small and old cemetery. it was taken care by an indian family. according to them, the families do come back once while to visit their ancestor's grave. there are no longer any Jewish here in Penang.
the lastes grave was done on 1978. based on my observations, i learned that the monuments mostly are the shape of houses. even some 90% look alike. we've asked about the shape of the monuments but the lady there just took over the job and did not know much about it.
i also observed the names of the deceased. some of the name that i've taken notes :
1. Harry Mosses
2. Fanny Herbet
3.Lizzie Schwartz
4. Joseph Bernstein
and many more...
i also observe that each monument have symbols. Mostly are star. it is called Star of David (symbol of a person who practice Judaism). there is also a monume.nt with hands symbol. this symbol is called Blessing With the Hands.

the overall picture...our life is like a wheel. keep changing..
we must keep on going no matter what happen in the past. there's nothing we can do about it. we only can use it as a lesson and experience for us so that we don't repeat the same mistakes again.
