Respect each other’s’ differences and embrace similarities to make Malaysia perfect

I was watching the new Petronas webfilm. As usual, it was absolutely touching... It shows a story of two kinda suspicious looking Indian men going about doing very suspicious work, and well, everyone who encounters them are all fearful, not that I blame them as well, we do live in a place where many bad things happen, but in this case, these two suspicious characters are actually great guys helping out at a charity home. This video is absolutely good at reminding us not to judge a book by it's cover and that we should try to look for the positive points in everyone and give them a benefit of a doubt at least...

And yes, personally, I have had that experience myself, some of the friends I have look like gangsters and are not very nice to look at..(I mean not so handsome or good looking) and these people are among the nicest people around actually... and sometimes the people who are so charming, handsome and decent looking could actually be the crooks around...

So we really should not discriminate... as face it, some of the world's worse serial killers were all charming men... hahah, but no, I do not have anything against my good looking friends... they are just as awesome...

In life, there is nothing more important then respect. Many people would think respect should be given to elders, but not all elderly people deserve respect when they behave and treat others badly.. 

But still, personally, I would say that we have to respect everything around us... not just people, but even animals, and places... Think about it... Too many people forget all about this...and it is sad when this happens...

How to own an iPhone 7s or 7+ now and change it next year...

Most of us cannot resist the lure of new smart phones.. after all it is hard to resist when you know the latest models comes with amazing and better features over time. But not all of us can afford a brand new smart phone with their astronomical prices. 

I am one of them who can't quite afford it, but since I needed one, so I turned to one of the phone network brands offering zero upfronts and installment payments which is pretty awesome at first...  but behind this lurks a more expensive bill, and you are tied to the phone network brand for two years and there is nothing you can do about it.... that is... until now....

Indulge in "the Joy of Life" for a beautiful, healthy you....

Most Chinese girls grow up knowing that edible birds' nests are among some of the most expensive delicacies on the planet.

It may seem dumb, paying a lot of money just to indulge in bird saliva but the saliva comes from cave-dwelling birds called swiftlets, where the male birds would build the nests onto the vertical walls of the caves. Collecting and removing these nests is quite challenging, dangerous and painstaking, but well, this birds’ nest is believed to have a long list of health benefits. However here are also some of these swiftlets that build their nests under eaves of houses.

Focus Point's "Universal Eye Health" CSR Campaign

(moderate visual impairment, and need to wear glasses or contact lenses)...

Sad to say, 90% of blind people live in low-income countries of which 80% of these statistics is actually avoidable - i.e. readily treatable and/or preventable...

It is sad that though restorations of sight, and blindness prevention strategies are actually among the most cost-effective interventions in health care, not all know about it or worry about the cost...

However, the number of people blind from infectious causes has been greatly reduced in the past 20 years, though sadly, an estimated 19 million children are visually impaired....

Guardian Malaysia and La Gourmet's collaboration to support NASOM

Autism is a mental condition, said to be present from early childhood, characterized by great difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with other people and in using language and abstract concepts... (sometimes I do wonder if I could be a little autistic too....if that was the case... hahaha)

People with high-functioning autism often have an average or above-average IQ. High-functioning autism comes with high levels of creativity and thinking outside the box; it also endows the autistic individual with high levels of focus, often verging on obsessive behaviour. You might think that this is a bad thing, but actually this kind of obsession within a creative realm is actually what that makes some people stand out and excel over their peers.
