Let's Celebrate your Partner's Victory!

How do you usually celebrate your partner's victory? A simple but magic ingredient in any love relationship is the expression of praise for achievements.

As for me, one of the way for me to spice up relationship is to respond to each other's successes in life. This is one of the most crucial factor in strengthening your relationship bond. Believe it or not, it may be more important than soothing life's aches and bruises.

Celebrating and praising your partner's promotion at work for instance, or your partner's excellent achievement in an examination gives him or her a great emotional boost. However, if u play it down, it can seriously undermine the realtionship.

With that, here are some ways i realized had been effectively motivating to celebrate your partner's victory...

1. You should see your partner as an equal team member and always praise and encourage him or her in their success.. no matter how simple or prominent that success would be.
2. Acknowledging every time of your partner takes a small step towards their goals. Waiting until the final outcome will be a little too late. In other words, ever willingly cheer on your partner consistently.
3. Showing appreciation everytime your partner praises you. Instead of just saying thank you, why don't you give him or her a hug to show how appreciated you feel.
4. Being a "mutual admiration couple" would be perfect. It is good to always say praises on the good things that each other has done. This can avoid you from talking bad about each other.
   
5. I believe no one is perfect...and if you find it hard to be positive and compare yourself badly, look on the bright side of life, which is look at the relationship's other good values.

Where there is unconditional love, other things like patience, kindness, forgiving, tolerance and ultimate happiness comes in. Cherished your love ones and appreciate them no matter where they are..

Oooohh...Balik Kampung!!

Planning on a long car journey?

I supposed so, especially here in West Malaysia, whenever there is festive season around the corner, highways would be extravagant busy, where all the urban citizen make their way of "BALIK KAMPUNG"

I have to admit that long car journey isn't pleasant at all..especially when u r prone to motion sickness. Here are some tips i would like to share so that your journey is not all about dull sight-seeing..

• Plan the journey in advance - mark the journey on a map, so everyone can follow the journey progress. Landmarks should be highlighted too.

• Make regular short stops - Take a break at R&R stations along the highways for a treat. Never force yourself to drive when you are sleepy or in an uncomfortable state like hungry or ill. Do stop on the safe side of the road. Fresh air will revive all of you.

• Music helps pass time - As the saying goes " let the music heal your soul". I'm sure music can help to rejuvenate your journey. Give everyone in the car a song request to avoid arguements.

Have a safe but fabulous journey with your love ones...remember, safety first and take care!!!

FERRERO...

One of my all time favourite chocolate product is Ferrero.This remarkable production of chocolate product began in 1946, in Italy, where, after the war, candy and confections were in short supply and were purchased mainly for special occasions from the local sweet shop. It was here in northwestern Italy in the small town of Alba, that master confectioner Pietro Ferrero developed a system that enabled him to mass-produce true quality confections and offer them to consumers at reasonable prices.

The original Ferrero philosophy was based on a few simple principles: Use only the highest-quality ingredients; Be unique! Never copy anyone else; and Manufacture with the most modern technology. Addition to that, procedures for ensuring consumers taste only the freshest possible product, as well as some very clever marketing, and the Ferrero story began to unfold.

With that, here are some well known product of ferrero...can anyone guess which of these chocolate product i liked most?

Biodiesel from Soy Bean?

As I was reading regarding GMOF (Genetically Modified Organism & Food), I came across an article about “Biodiesel made of Soy Bean Oil”.

Through biotechnology which produces GMOF soy beans, there are still plenty of soy bean for meeting the demands of food production. But the surplus needed to be utilized. That’s why the soybean checks off helped develop the U.S. biodiesel industry through research funding to find new uses for soybean oil. One of those uses was soy biodiesel. Over time, the industry grew and provided great new opportunities for all soy bean farmers, not to mention increased energy security and environmental benefits for us all. This will boost the demand for soybeans, but not at the risk of sacrificing food use.

In reality, food production is still the number one use for soybean oil worldwide.Let’s not forget the other major component of soybeans – soy bean foods!!

Soy Bean Milk

Bean curd

Tofu

Soy Bean Pasta






Soy Bean & Sesame Ice Cream

BIG BANG!!!
SOY BEAN is recently made into ….

Which runs…

How environment friendly…Don’t you think so?
This proves the power of biotechnology!

Oatmeal anyone?

Oatmeal is an ideal choice for breakfast. As we all know, breakfast is vital to energize your day. A good breakfast will determine on how well you perform either at work or in studies. With that, here are the benefits of consuming oatmeal...

• Soluble fibre from oats lowers cholesterol levels in the blood. Consuming one large bowl of oat bran cereal has been shown to decrease total cholesterol.

• It is estimated that the reduction in total cholesterol could lower the incidence of coronary heart disease... oat consumption may reduce blood pressure too.

• Oats reduce blood glucose and insulin responses. Control of blood glucose and insulin levels is essential in prevention of many of the complications associated with diabetes.

• Oats favourably alter metabolism and enhance performance when ingested shortly before prolonged endurance exercise of moderate intensity.

• Beta-glucan from oats may enhance the immune response.
  

• However, currently it is insufficient evidence to suggest that oats promote weight loss or improve compliance to a reduced-calorie diet.

Skyscrapers...!

Today in Engineering Construction class, I have learned a lot about foundations. Foundations is a structure that transfer loads to the earth. Foundation is generally divided into two main section; substructure and superstructure. Substructure is the foundation that is build underground. Meanwhile, the superstructure is the one forming the structure of buildings and skyscrapers.

With a strong and well designed foundation, high raised buildings or skyscrapers can be build without worrying of the worst outcome of it..collapsing! Foundations are designed to have an adequate load capacity with limited settlement.

The results of excellent foundation are:

Taiwan’s: Taipei 101, which - at 508 metres (1,667 ft) - had been officially the world's tallest building since 2004.

Emirates Saudi Arabia:Coming soon..the world's soon-to-be tallest buiding is the Burj Dubai. This skyscraper has now topped 688 metres (2,257 ft ) and will be completed in September 2008.

Love Hurts?

Have you ever felt everything seem so wrong when you are in love? Well, it’s not a hideous thing after all. It teaches you a valuable experience if you truly reflect on it rather than being sad or angry about your unstable situation. You are showing concern…but the one you love think that you are just controlling their action. Well, it’s not anyone’s right to control ones’ life.

I have learn that resilience and being humble in terms of being ready to apologize and to prioritize your partner’s feelings is so much more important. It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong in a certain misunderstanding, as long as you both are ready to tolerate and to listen to each other full-heartedly. Somehow or rather, these kind of misunderstanding would make you and partner appreciate each other better.. where there is love, all other good values comes around too.

Being in love is very exciting. So, don't let your sad emotions overwhelm your relationship... I know its easy to forgive but its not going to be an easy thing to forget what she or he had done which had hurt your fragile feelings. Let the time heal you.. as for now, just enjoy your life, achieve your goals and live it to the fullest with your love ones. As the saying goes, love is the most precious gift of all...

Sleeping is Beauty...

Honestly, what came across your mind when it comes to the word “sleeping”? I bet it’s all about comfy bed and of course a period of a wholesome relaxation..Am I right? Based on the statistic which I had read from reader’s digest ,more than 75% people worldwide had less than 6 hours of sleep daily. Why? It’s none other than commitments on hectic and demanding work or career schedule.

Study shows that sleep is perhaps one of the most prominent aspects of keeping healthy and feeling great. Sleep gives the brain time to organize data in its memory, repair damaged cells, tissue, muscles and give the cardiovascular system a break. Sleep also helps bring more energy into people helping them to accept their challenges. Sleep can also help people who are often stressed. The benefits of sticking to the recommended 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night have immeasurable benefits.

Sleeping will improved memory and cognitive function and extend lifespan. It brings great benefit to our overall health and general well-being. Your sleeping duration will determine on how you look and feel. When you get enough sleep, your body is more flexible and willing to work. Your refreshed brain will organize memories, as well as to help you recover memories and improve performance to concentrate more on your work or study. Nevertheless, sleeping also makes you look younger and improve your appearance. Sleeping is indeed beauty!
