Say 'Tak Nak'

Here I am, putting on my glasses and begin typing and searching for extra information on the internet.This phrase 'Tak Nak', I bet everyone know what its referring to.

We always see advertisements on television, signboards, newspapers, and even on the cigarette boxes about the problems relating to smoking.Smoking as we all know is dangerous.Not only to the person who is smoking, but to the people around them as well.To be frank, I use to think smoking is cool.Effects of watching too many dramas and animes.(Last time)

Well smokers know perfectly well about the effects of smoking, but they think those problems wouldn't be inflicted on them.

Think again.

Smoking harms smokers and people around them who are non-smokers.There was a guy who was aged 24 and he was attacked by a stroke caused by smoking.Twenty-four is not an old age.Its an age of a freshly graduated college student.Imagine if that student is a smoker and his/her grades are excellent.He/Her could get a job and receive their first salary.They could buy things for their loved ones and feel proud with it.

Unfortunately those dreams would come to an end.Because from the moment they start taking their first puff, it means they indirectly decided to cut 10 years off their life span.An ordinary person could live up to 60 maybe? 10 years deducted from their life span.You could do the math.

So, smokers STOP smoking.Its definitely not easy but like they say, 'where there is a will, there is a way'. For the non-smokers, DON'T avoid smokers because their breathe stinks or what-so-ever.

Non-smokers should at least provide all the help and support they can give to help the smokers quit smoking.Smokers would of course give a million excuses and eventually give in and decide to give it a try.That's better than nothing right?

Non-smokers should help the smokers lose that particular habit that harms us all.

Girls! Do not Despair

Girls, did you ever felt like what the guys are saying about us shopping is a waste of time because we just practically waste our time in the shopping complex when we can do some other stuffs? Beneficial stuffs? Well girls, do not despair.

This post is tells them that spending our time in the shopping complex is actually something that benefits not only us girls but guys as well.

Anyways everyone of us knows that girls are the ones spending their time and money going shopping.Even if they don't shop, they would just go to shopping malls and window shop which guys think its a waste of time.

Think again.

Shopping can be considered as a good form of exercise.

What do I mean?

Well like all girls, each and every one of them would want to look presentable.By doing so, they would have to watch their weight.So they'll start exercising.Many girls think that by doing heavy exercises like getting active in a sport, it would get them to lose weight.Unfortunately many girls doesn't exercise consistently.For example.Me! Well, for my case Im just too lazy.(woops).

Heavy exercises doesn't really promote weight loss.Why? Lets take jogging as an example.Jogging may promote weight loss but only at a consistent pace.Beginners would definitely try to keep it consistent and may try to push past present limits to convince themselves that they had done a proper work out.

 

By pushing pass your limit, your heart rate would increase higher than usual and it will be impossible to burn a large percentage of fat.In order to burn a large amount of fat, we would have to exercise regularly and at a regular pace.Im not declaring that jogging is not a good form of exercise but for overweight n sedentary people(couch potatoes) its a lil too much for them to handle because their body would demand more energy compared to a fit person.

So..what kind of exercise fits us couch potatoes the most?

The answer is....(drumrolls)....WALKING!...why?

Firstly, walking enables us to workout at a steady and consistent pace which matches the requirement for us to burn our fats effectively.Its an exercise that stretches our and strengthens our leg muscles.Girls! We have hope to get model-like legs!! Plus this is an exercise that almost everyone can do.In fact we all walk everyday right? Even at home you're walking but its just not enough.

Do you know walking has other benefits as well? Such as:

• Increase health and fitness(stamina)
• Boosts energy levels
• Decrease in health risks

 But..

Where are we going to walk? In the streets? Nahh....

Then? where to?

 Girls you'll like it,

Guys, I don't think you'll like it,

Where??

Shopping Complex!!

Girls, we all know we can shop till we drop.We can walk around the shopping complex for hours.Am I wrong? I use to hate shopping actually because for me, its so tiring.When I got older, I started to have the desire to shop for pretty fancy things.

Some people would think shopping may cause a hole in their pockets.So lets not shop.Lets do some window shopping.We can see it but we won't buy it.Its hard of course especially for girls.Therefore I have a solution for you.Before you decide to grab it and place it on the counter table, think on whether is it really necessary for us to get it.It would help you in the future as well. Huh? How? 

It helps mend back the hole in your future husband's pocket.

 

Walking is easy to do as well.Firstly, we don't require any equipment.We wouldn't need to spend our money on getting all the exercising gears which are costly.

Secondly, its easy to participate.You don't need to wear those sport shoes and running outfits.Girls can be in your skinny tight jeans,super high heels or simple sandals which matches your cute sexiest top.

Whereas guys, you can wear your 'Adidas', 'Nike' shoes or your comfortable slippers, be in unstretchable jeans or pants that goes together with your expensive and branded 'Billabong' or 'QuickSilver' T-shirts.

Lastly, walking alone can be somehow depressing.So, you can get your friends to go along with you.It will be fun when you're doing something with your friends.Like they say, the more the merrier.

 

So girls, lets start SHOPPING!!

 Guys! Go accompany the girls!

Who knows? You might get lucky.

Guys, don't follow this example

 

Girls, This body is what we should aim for.(haha)

Im being realistic.

These are the legs we girls would get.(woots!)

Follow his example guys.

Then mayybe, just maybe you'll get lucky.

My Baby Milo Dinosaurr

My Baby Milo Dinosaur (Half finished already)

Here I am again.I spent my evening thinking about what to blog because I have seriously no idea on what to blog about.Then...

"ting!"(light bulb)

I know what to blog about already! Fast huh?

Its about a drink called Milo Dinosaur.Funny name eh? But this drink really taste good.I 1st tasted this one of a kind drink when Jason brought me to Benasir(mamak stall) to buy me lunch.If I can remember correctly he ordered Roti Milo and Milo Dinosaur.While we were walking to that mamak after school he was swinging his hands and saying I have to try it.He made it sound like its a MUST.

So I tried the Roti Milo.Its tasted milo-ish n oily but sweet.I gave in to the sweetness but its a weird combination of milo and 'roti canai'.Next was the Milo Dinosaur.I felt like a judge for a cooking competition tasting the food the mamak fella made.The only thing missing was the cameras.

Just for the record.Milo dinosaur is a just your ordinary milo drink with the milo powder on top of it only.

Then..hmmmm...yummy! It tasted good.But a lil to sweet because they added some condensed milk on top.So that's my 1st.The 2nd time I tried was when Jason made it for me.He just make milo as usual but added the milo powder on top.Then its my turn to make it.Seriously mine tasted way better than his.His milo was so diluted that I couldn't even taste anything.All I can taste is cold diluted water with just a small hint of milo.

Mine was just perfect.I made my 1st milo in my mum's big cup and with warm water not cold.Somehow I don't like cold milo.Anyways, my homemade Milo Dinosaur was rich with the milo taste and I topped it with loads of milo powder in it.I recommend when you make your milo, its better to make it warm.Cold doesn't have the 'umph' feeling if you get what I mean.

And there it is.My Baby Milo Dinosaur.Damn it tasted good

Now Im drinking it while blogging.Yummy!

Here are some pictures on how it actually looks like.

Milo Dinosaur

Haha.Guess whos that.

The Meaning of Raya

As we all know Raya is coming.Its either on this coming Thursday or Friday.A friend of mine told me yesterday it all depends on the moon.

I was wondering what was Hari Raya about.Till now I have no idea what it means.What a Malaysian I am.tsktsk.So I decided to be a true Malaysian(kononnya) n do some research about it.As we know the full name(?) for Hari Raya is Hari Raya Aidilfitri.In the Arabic manner its called as Eid ul-Fitr.. cool huh? While Hari Raya literally means 'Celebration Day'

Hari Raya is considered to be one of the biggest holidays in our country Malaysia.Basically many shopping malls and bazaars are filled with people.Not only muslims, but other people with different cultures due to the discounts and mega sales stickers advertised in newspapers,tv advertisements and so on.

During this festival,muslims would travel back to their hometown to visit their relatives in order to forgive each another and celebrate Hari Raya with the whole family.Its called as 'mudik'.Then they would greet one another by saying "maaf zahir dan batin" which means 'Forgive my physical and emotional(wrongdoings)' because Hari Raya Aidilfitri doesn't only mean celebration but it also means a time for to ask for forgiveness for the wrongdoings that they had done in the past but is cleansed by fasting.Now we know why they fast huh.

This celebration is the happiest day for the children because their parents or the elders would give them money.Known as 'duit raya'.(jealous.Last of all is they would celebrate this festival by lighting up fire crackers but if im not mistaken lighting up fire crackers are banned in Malaysia but we still light them up.hehe.who cares? =P


Well, for me the best part about Hari Raya are the food.Special dishes suck as ketupat,dodol and lemang would be served when relatives and friends visit one another.If you're lucky and get invited to any open houses during Raya, be sure to try them.You'll not regret it.Better yet, just knock on their doors and invite yourself in.Haha.

Thats all I have to say for now

Here are some pictures about the special dishes I mentioned.

 

Ketupat (you don't eat the leaves)

Lemang (yummy)

Dodol (comes in different flavours such as durian, pandan)

Selamat Hari Raya!!

A New Blog

So..this is like my 2nd blog in my life.The reason i decided to blog is because..Im bored.I have practically nothing to do when im online.After switching the computer on.I would visit Facebook only. What a life huh.

 Now I started to visit blogs.For example like Joanne's blog,Jason's sister blog and Jyen Yiee's blog and I started to have a thinking that says maybe blogging would be fun.So now here it is.
