Make Up Excuses Why You Can!

We all have excuses as to why we can't do something. Ask anyone and they can give you a million excuses why it can't be done, why they haven't moved forward on their goals, and on and on. Making up excuses takes a lot of energy and time. So since, as humans, we seem to enjoy making up excuses, I have a great idea. Lets make up excuses why we can.

Since we all are experts in making up excuses, we won't need much training in this area, just a shift of focus. Instead of focusing on what we can't do, lets focus on what we can do. Instead of coming up with all kinds of excuses why it won't work, lets focus on why it can work. Get the idea?

Instead of focusing energy on excuses that don't serve you in moving forward, make up excuses that inspire and enthuse you to do what you want to do. Excuses like "there is no time like the present, I am old enough, I am just the person to do the job, I know all the ways it can work."

Actually, there are an unlimited number of excuses as to why you can. Be creative and think of as many as you like. ^^;​​​​​​​​​​​

Happy Earth Day!


Save the world? Who, me? While big-name corporations and start-ups alike are working toward creating environmental technologies that can greatly reduce harmful emissions, there are plenty of steps individuals can take to shrink their carbon footprint.

And that doesn't mean swapping your car for a bamboo bicycle -- yet, that's not such a bad idea. Adopting any, or all, of the following practices could add up to very positive change. I had been searching the web for some useful stuff about saving the Environment. Here are some steps that i found.
  • Repurpose food waste.
  • Recycle and buy recycled
  • Choose pastured beef and chicken
  •  Know where your food is coming from 
  •  Plant trees in your yard and community.
  • Go “mostly organic” in your lawn and garden.
  • Turn off lights and electronic devices when you’re not using them.
  • Use solar energy to dry your clothes! 
  • Invest in solar energy.
  • Rethink transportation.
  • Use small, efficient devices to cook food. 
 So, give earth a hand ^^

Egg Shape Mobile Living Space - Blob VB3

When coming up with the plans for this unusual structure, the architects over at dmvA wanted to create a mobile unit which would serve as a “secondary office” for large companies or as a home extension. Blob VB3, often resembled with a large egg due to its original shape, houses a kitchen, a bathroom, a bed and plenty of storage space in the shape of unusual curved shelves. The main material used to construct the building was polyester. Small, fun, independent and highly mobile, this place gets me thinking of the idea of a traveling vehicle. However, its fragility only makes it great for the purposes it was otherwise intended for. The Blob has to main entrances and a lighting system of its own. What do you say? Would you permanently live in a place like this?

YTL Residence in Kuala Lumpur

YTL Residence , Kuala Lumpur


Paris-based Agence Jouin Mank  took on its first large-scale integrated architectural and interior design commission in 2003, when YTL Design Group from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, invited it to design the residence of a Malaysian power family.


Completed in the latter part of 2008, the residence is the ultimate expression of the taste, influence and industrial-scale capabilities of the prominent family whose entrepreneurial activities have shaped Kuala Lumpur ’s skyline.


Three generations of the family inhabit the 3,000 square-meter residence designed to accommodate both private and public functions.


The building includes nine bedrooms, two family rooms, a family kitchen and a private dining area, a family library, a game room, a study, a public reception area, a formal dining room, a ballroom, chapel, 21 bathrooms, a swimming pool, two guest suites plus indoor private and guest parking.


The initial sketches exploring the owners’ usage requirements reveal resemblances to the boring stacked-boxes look still so ubiquitous in residential architecture. And while traces of the “heaped trailers” syndrome remain in the finished building, this is not the Jetsons, neither are we looking at EPCOT, Tomorrowland or the 1954 New York World Fair.


We are in the lush vegetation of a posh Kuala Lumpur residential area, and in spite of the boxiness of the structure, an elegant circular softness manages to permeate the sightlines and key details of the building, making it an agreeable part of its landscape.




Inside, prominent examples of this curvilinear elegance include the amazing staircases resembling the inside of a shell when viewed from above, and the round ballroom chandelier of 13,000 custom-designed undulating petals of unglazed cast porcelain biscuit.


The curved walls both inside and out have a functional purpose of providing privacy and enclosing each function gently in its own space. The overall sweeping feel inside the spaces invites the viewer in and creates soft, arching vistas.


The concept consists of three layers: the base for public functions, the ring for guests and the private house for the family.


The inside of the magnificent residence is gorgeous with its high ceilings, large windows and abundance of light. White color and natural wood are dominant elements but they allow the view from the vast, mostly retractable, windows to remain the main visual attraction.





The residence is also a wonderful study of contrasts between inside and outside, private and public, traditional and ultra modern, man-made and natural.




YTL Design Group of Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia , was the architect of record. The Agence Jouin Manku design team included Patrick Jouin, Sanjit Manku, Yann Brossier (architect), Richard Perron (designer). Officina del Paesaggio from Lugano , Switzerland was in charge of the landscape design, and L’Observatoire, New York , USA handled the lighting. - Tuija Seipell

Time to Change!

My blog are so dead now. Sometimes, I wish to have a girl friend in order to do something that I wanted to. As I seeing someone's facebook profile, I found this girl which will be my type of girl. The girl with black and red tops. The looks from outside are totally... totally what I...
You know what I'm thinking right? ^^



Honestly, I'm living in a bad life now. Everything is going the way i dislike, everyday is not my day. Today, there's a sentences of word made my mind think more than usual.

' One of the biggest mistakes in life is being in comfort zone. '

This really give me an urge to change myself and the life I had now. I deserve a better life!
I'm thinking if I really move out without my family, will I have a better life? A life without family support, and then support my own self in this world. I think it would be better than now. Maybe?!?!

Every day when I woke up, there's always a meal in the kitchen and I can have it just like that without putting any effort to get it. I'm getting more and more useless.

And yet, sometimes I really hate being myself. I always inspire to do something, but end up there's always saying without any action.
One of my friend always said he don't stop and don't rest till he get what he want. This words makes me hate him very much!! Haha, the 'hate' is in the good way. I would get burning desire every time he said something good about himself. All of it will take as reference in myself.


Here's a short clip that always get me up in life!

It's time to change for have a better tomorrow!

Moving Moutains

I'm sure that everyone knows about him. His meteoric rise to the pinnacle of ultimate world-glory is the stuff that legends are made of. Even the Chinese community that is generally known for hard work is in awe of this marvelous man, Lim Goh Tong, who built Genting Highlands.




The story of how single-handedly Lim Goh Tong set himself a goal to built a world-class resort, Genting Highlands atop 1800-metre mountain is punctuated with all the ingredients that is the stuff of motivation. The perseverance to achieve the goals against all odds, risk taking, fearlessness, the art of conversation and a tendency never ever to give up, are all part of this remarkable man affectionately called Lim. Now, his name has become synonymous with Genting and there is hardly a tourist in Asia who has not visited this tourist attraction.

One of the Asian billionaires, and the proprietor of Genting Berhad, Resort World Berhad and Asiatic Development Berhad, this incredible person came to then Malaya like millions of other immigrants. But what distinguished him from the rest was that he had a dream and a determination to work hard against all odds.

It all started 50 years ago. In 1964, Lim was working as a sub-contractor for part of the Cameron Hydro-electric dam project in Cameron Highlands. On a fateful night, Lim had dinner with general manager and chief engineer if the German company. After several rounds of drinks, he went out of the stuffy room for some cool air. The night at Cameron highlands with its myriad of twinkling lights under the night sky, a sudden flash of idea went through his mind and the idea of Genting Highlands shape in his mind.

"That night I could not sleep. I was thinking about and planning my new project. I was so excited with the idea that I wanted to start work right away," He said later as quoted in The Genting website. The first hurdle to be surpassed was to the top. It was such a gigantic job then and the government estimated it would take about 15 years to build the road. But Lim was undaunted. It was not just cutting the road through the jungle. Lim's whole dream on Genting in fact hinged on the road's successful completion.

Lim was always in the forefront, sometimes oblivious to his own safety. He encountered no fewer than six dangerous incidents that nearly cost him his life! At the work site, Lim was the laborer, project manager and engineer all rolled into one. Let us take a look a one such incident.

One of these incidents took place at the old helipad in Genting Highlands. It was about 7 pm. It was dark, work was in progress and Lim, along with six workers, was standing by the side of ground where the bulldozer. Due to the monsoon rains earlier, the ground where the bulldozer was operating suddenly caved in. Lim felt the place where he was standing was beginning to wobble, sink and give way! Always an alert person, Lim jumped to the safety. It was such a close shave! Or, he would have been swept some 27 meters down the ravine and buried alive under tons of mud. And Malaysian tourism history would have to be rewritten!

Later that night, he jokingly told his wife that he went to hell but was turned back in order to continue his work! Such was the courage of the man. History tells us that as many as 20,000 people were accidentally killed during the construction of India's Taj Mahal. But none but one was killed during the erection of Genting Highlands atop the mountain.

Genting Highland was to be constructed on a land area of which 4,940 hectares fell under the Pahang government's jurisdiction and the rest of 1,100 hectares under the Selangor state. With the recommendation of Tunku Abdul Rahman, Pahang immediately granted the land. But Lim said he encountered some problems with Selangor government with the then Menteri Besar Datuk Harun Idris being prepared to give the land only on a 99-year lease. This totally upset his plan.

Lim said," I then decided to appeal to Datuk Harun personally and explained to him my predicament. I told him that Genting Sampah was a remote jungle area and it would take 30 to 40 years and huge investments to build roads, hotels, staff quarters, and to install water and electricity supplies and other amenities.

If the Selangor government would only issue 99-year lease, we would have to surrender the and to the government almost as soon as the development was completed." He emphasized that if Selangor did not accede to his request for a freehold title, he would have no choice but to develop only the land located on Pahang side of the border thereby resulting in Pahang having yet another hill resort. He pointed out that there were already many holiday resorts such as Cameron Highlands, Fraser's Hill and many beaches facing the south China Sea. Selangor, on the other hand, could only boast of the muddy beach in Morib. Once Genting Highlands was added to the list of resort Pahang, Selangor would lagging far behind in terms of tourist attractions.

Needless to say, Datuk Harun was eventually convinced by Lim's explanation and recommended to the State government to grant freehold status to the land where today Genting Highlands proudly stands. Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong said," once the goals have been clearly defined with the greatest amount of determination and hard work, one can conclusively realize one's goal."

Through he was alive he is nonagenarian, he still comes around and looks for avenues to develop the area further. Though his sons and daughters manage the world famous resort well enough, it is generally believed that killer instinct that Lim exhibited can seldom emulated. His meteoric rise to the pinnacle of ultimate world-glory is the stuff the legends are made of. Even the Chinese community that is known for hard work is in awe of his marvelous man. For his success, Lim still leads a simple life and is involved in philanthropic activities. If one were to point at an inspiring personality, then it is, no doubt, Lim. So long as there is the mountain his name will be indelibly etched in human memory. And the wafting breeze will always sing his glory. Yes, his fame will remain as old as the rocks!

You Are What You Eat

Hello people, today I'm gonna talk about you are what you eat!

The food you eat is your body's fuel, supplying the energy you need for everything that you do, every minute of your life. Energy supplies which are not used immediately are stored in your body for future use and accumulate as fat. Why would anyone want to store more fat in his body and then complain of putting on more weight? This is one area where saving for the future is not advisable because your body is not an energy-saving bank.

However unusual or delicious a particular food may be, as far as your body is concerned, it is simply a source of fuel the enable you to survive. Whatever you eat, be it the finest caviar or a humble potato, your body uses it in the same way - by breaking down into nutrients and converting these into energy.

The energy in food is found in three main forms: proteins, carbohydrates and fats. This energy is measured in calories.

The Energy In Food
What you eat is significant too. Digesting any food uses energy; but some, especially those high in fat, need less energy to digest than proteins or carbohydrates such as grains and pulses. All food provides some calories, but some are more concentrated in the amount they contain.

Exercise And Fatigue
When you exercise, your muscles convert the stored energy from your body into compounds that enable you to move and produce body heat. the main fuels for this process are carbohydrate and fat. Your body stores carbohydrate as glycogen in your muscles and liver. The point at which you feel fatigue during exercise often coincides with a depletion of your carbohydrate stores. Once these are used up, your body calls upon your reserves of fat, and starts to metabolize fatty acids (the main chemical units of fat) in order to release energy. Your fat reserves are larger than your carbohydrate.

Gain Confidence To Lose Weight
Be patient! It took time to put on weight, so getting it off will also take some time.


After all, my general advise would be to stay fit, you only have one body. And eat well - food is what makes your body work. Good food makes your body last longer.

A New Year Bright With Promise!

A new year has come to mean a time for new resolutions : self-promise to do better, to overcome bad habits, to improve one's lifestyle.

It's a matter of goal setting, which is always a good idea especially when done properly. Here are few hints which have worked.

  1. Pick a long-range goal - one for the entire year. You can break it down later into segments.
  2. Pick a goal you really think you can achieve. Not too easily, of course, butt still attainable. Then raise it by at least half again. If you think you can reach the first, I think you can reach the second, when you really make up your mind to do it.
  3. Write it down, this is important. It's human nature to feel always there to remind you. At any rate, write it down.
  4. Post the written goal where you can see it. Not where everybody can, just where you can. Everyday, and keep it there.
Follow these suggestions, and you'll be off and running into a new year bright with promise. You'll be a different person a year from now, ready to follow this hint for the following year : raise your goals again!

To make things change, first we must change!
That's what I always said.

Please Save Our Precious Planet Earth - Our Only Home




Global warming is posing a serious threat to our planet and all lives! Disasters are happening worldwide one after another. In May 2008 alone, deadly Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar and the powerful earthquake in Sichuan, China, killed at least 150,000 people and left millions homeless, the floor disaster in India and the hurricane Gustav in New Orleans, USA are the affects of global warming, and the list goes on ...

This is the only beginning ...

In December 2007, scientist predicted that the Arctic could be ice-free by summer 2012. Shocking to note in our STAR Paper front page Sept 2008. North Pole now an island as global warming melts Arctic ice cap.

In June 2008, Dr. James Hansen, a NASA's top scientist pointed out that the world had long passed the "dangerous level", "We're toast if we don't get on a very different path," He stated, "This is the last chance!"

To date, many countries consider climate change issues as top priority and significant steps have been taken, such as adopting sustainable energy and environment-friendly policies. However, it may take a long time to restructure or rebuild the entire energy system and environment policies worldwide, whereas time is running out for human race to address climate change.

Nevertheless, there are things EVERYONE can HELP to do immediately!

Consequently, in order to safeguard the immediate future of Malaysia as well as our planet Earth, we call upon all citizens to join the global effort to reduce individual carbon footprint. We urge fellow Malaysians to be "Be Veg! Go Green@ Save Our Planet!"

Every single contribution, be it big or small, is essential to advert the danger of climate change. And the fastest, easiest and most constructive thing that one individual can do is to eliminate or reduce one's meat intake immediately.

It is time to make the choice: to form a global sustainable society or to risk the destruction of our planet and ourselves. may all Earth's inhabitants work hand in hand to prevent the worst scenario from happening in just a few years' time and build together a brighter future of peace and harmony.


Be Part of the solution and not the problem !

Whisky Protects You From Cancer!


A good news for those people who drink alcohol. Some scientists believe that whiskey may be one of the keys to preventing the Big C.

For a quite a number of years, liquor has been known not only to bring destructive intoxication and addiction upon its patrons, but also as deterrent to a healthy lifestyle. But as a potential weapon against cancer? Sounds controversial.

Rumors that single malt whiskey may be a tool to combat cancer have begun circulating recently. Whether it actually holds any water has yet to be proven. According to one of the theory's proponents, a consultant to the whiskey industry, Dr. Jim Swan, the antioxidants present in whiskey, particularly ellagic acid, can reduce the risk of developing cancer, since this acid fights the unstable atoms that aid in rapid cell replication. He added that the more cells were produced, the more likely that rogue cancer cell will be born. "Whiskey can protect you from cancer and science proves it," he said, speaking at the EuroMedLab 2005 conference in Glasgow. Dr Swan explained that ellagic acid, which is in greater concentration in whiskey than in red wine, breaks down the harmful free radicals present in our body.

My IDOL!

I love his body! Just started to keep fit, was thinking of buying some bodybuilding supplement to aid in the building of lean muscle mass or to cause fat loss. It may also be used to improve sports performance and improve recovery from events and training. However, their potential effect remain controversial.


2PM leader Jae Bum

Jae Bum said, “Usher’s six packs looks so cool and toned because he started toning them since secondary school. So I did weight training since high school, building up my body earnestly.”

“And in order to keep my body at the optimum condition, I stayed away from alcohol and cigarettes.”




The SEXY back.




If only he can just be a little teeny weeny taller, it would just be perfect :D

Great photo shoot anyway. His body is like art.
