I was very cautious with my diet since a few years back due to tremendous weight gain which takes trolls to my back. Although with all this diet watch, only give me good maintenance rather than tremendous weight loss, I don't really feel that sad. Why? I am not really able to sleep well and this doesn't help much in weight loss. I consistently exercise to keep my body healthy and still no weight loss. Almost cry at this point. hahaha..my dreams to have that 'S' line, shattered to pieces. I have forgotten about my dream to wear the crop shirt once again. muahahaha...I still maintain my 'H' line, consistently for many years now.  Enough about that 'S' and 'H' line. I would rather stay healthy than focus on the too good to be true, 'S' line dreams! Talking about my diet, I only eat either Basmathi rice or Brown Rice to keep myself healthy. Afraid of the combo disease to hit me. I kind of love basmathi rice compare to brown rice b

Working from home is nothing new these days. In fact, many companies are adopting such a method to attract more talented millennial who is famous for their life balanced lifestyles.  What are the reasons for more companies adopting the Working From Home? There are various reason for this and some of this can be ; 1. Eliminate the long hours commuting For me, the horror part in daily working life is bracing the morning traffic jam to the workplace. Since I can only afford a so-called home far from the city, my commuting time can be a minimum of 2 hours for one way in the usual traffic flow. In my case, working from home is always my first options but it never happens for my line of work. 2. Increase in employee productivity To me, the productivity of each employee depends on the individual attitude. But most studies show that employee who is working from home is more productive than an employee who works in the office. Why? Maybe because of less distract

Before MCO, most of us complaining about having to brave the traffic jam to work. Some of us always wish to retire early and stay at home. I bet, after the MCO is over, most us will not dare to even say that out and feeling blessed to be able to face that traffic again. Do you think the world will be cleared from the Corona Virus in a few months?  I don't think so. Read all the news and see how successful China is after they officially celebrate their first MCO lift up. They are back with more cases and death now. Same goes with Hong Kong! For those who are eager to be back to our usual daily life and gain the freedom to stay out again, brace yourself with what kind of world is waiting for you after the MCO lift up. 1. Higher unemployment rate Unemployment is rather a disgusting word to me. Too bad! We are going to hear about this throughout 2020 and up-coming years too.

We all welcome year 2020 with a shocking global pandemic which led to Movement Control Order (MCO). We are required to practise social distancing and stay at home to flatten the pandemic curve. Thanks to the internet connection! This would not have been possible if this situation in 30 years back. I don't think we could have been this calm without the internet connection and the existence of the online market place. I use to do online shopping as my past time hobbies. I usually browse through beauty and clothing items. I bet many did this as well. With the recent Movement Control Order (MCO), just like everyone else, I was affected by the 'panic buy' trend. I dare not  risk myself to join other public queuing for the groceries .  Like I said earlier, online shopping used to be my past time hobbies but now it became essential.  Here are some tips to be a smart shopper and earns some cash during the MCO period . 1. Don't Focus to just one online Marke

For an introvert person like me, the word social distancing and stay at home is something common. I have been practising this in our daily life. So, with this MCO thingy that everyone huh hah about....its easy breezy for me since this is basically my day to day life. I went out twice to replenish my food stock and survive with what I have bought until now. I already opt for frozen vegetables instead of the fresh one. Hoping, I don't need to go out of my house ever again until at least 14th April 2020. Since I am one person who always expects the worst to happen most of the time, I end up preparing myself for the worst all the time. This doesn't mean, I am one of those who did panic shopping. In general, my home always stocks up well. huhuh... The only regret, I didn't buy any mung bean. I could have eaten fresh bean sprout by growing them at home. hehehe. So, how did I killed my time, be a good citizen and try to stay alive confining myself at home? 1. Wat

When it comes to house deco there are many options for furniture types. Some prefer modern furnishing and for those more classical would prefer vintage and as for me, I prefer solid wood. Here are 5 reasons why I solid wood is my preference. 1. More Durable Just as it looks, solid wood is more durable.
