An amazing Mid Autumn evening of celebration.....

Sarapan Dutch Lady.....

Sarapan is breakfast in the Malay language... it is basically the most important meal of the day, though not all Malaysians think of it as such... I try never to skip breakfast even if I am on a diet, or on the go as I know very well the importance of having a good start and deriving the energy from breakfast to last throughout the day (I would normally skip dinner if I want to skip a meal, after all it is recommended that we should not eat too much a few hours before we sleep)… and well, nothing is better to kick-start your day than a nice little packet of milk which I learned is the elixir our bodies need at breakfast.

The Sarapan Dutch Lady 7 day challenge was indeed a good initiative and it reminded me how to drink my milk on a daily basis...

It is a good and easier to accept nasyid songs and to memorize favorite tunes and the messages they carry actually then to just listen to some religious figure droning on (sorry, I know it can be a sensitive topic, but there are times some religious figure tend to drone on about the teachings of the prophets or God/Allah in a very boring manner) . And from nasyid songs, messages are also sent to the non Muslims so that they can have a better understanding of what Islam is like....

Review: Sumber Ayu Daun Sirih Feminine Intimate Wash...

As women we have to be responsible for our own hygiene, especially when it comes to our vagina or I shall name her Miss V…. That scented body wash may be nice to use, but it actually doesn't belong anywhere near Miss V. Did you know soap can be really drying to the sensitive skin around Miss V.

Malaysia is a country that is obsess with food, and we are also, sad to say and admit, quite lazy… Malaysians do not like to walk too far, and they would rather sit around smoking cigarettes, laze around, vegetate, be couch potatoes then go exercise or do some hard menial work…. 

The typical Malaysian would go to work in an air conditioned office, sit at the desk, do work until its time to go home, then when they are home, they will just go and eat, and go back home and put their feet up and watch TV.
