Lazy to clean? Reviews say this Electric Mop Cleans So Well, Effortlessly~ Available on Shopee

Anyone else who is too lazy to do chores but can't stand your houses being dirty? Personally, I have a love hate relationship with house chores. I don't want to do it but can't stop once I start. This 5-star rated cordless electric mop from CLEANHOME will make you WANT to do your chores!
  Traditional mops require you to carry a bucket of water all around, then use your tiny, clean arms to squeeze the life out of the mop heads. Meanwhile, more "modern" mops would probably have a bucket with a spinner that you still have to spend some energy spinning. With the CLEANHOME electric rotary mop, you can literally mop with a your phone in one hand and the mop in the other.

  The motor controlled mop head makes the mop practically move by itself, so all that's needed is to control the direction of the mop. It's very much like walking your dog but about 10 times easier. With that said, every family member will be able to use it when they need it, whether young or old.

  When it comes to cleaning the microfiber mop head, gone are the days where you need a gym membership to clean your mop. Place it on the mop cleaner and press a button. Within 30 seconds, your mop head will be as good as new.

  So, we have a mop that looks good, effortless to use, effortless to clean, and can bend up to 90 degrees for those "under the couch" spots. What more could you ask for? Although it is a little pricey at RM659, but the rave reviews tells me it's worth it!CLEANHOME Cordless Electric Mop Shopee Link

4 Zodiacs Who Struggle Making Friends As An Adult

ICYMI: Here Are The Top 4 Zodiacs Who Struggle To Get Comfortable In RelationshipsSome zodiacs are social butterflies. They make new friends wherever they go. Other zodiacs have a little more trouble forming connections. Here are a few zodiacs who struggle to make friends as an adult:TaurusYou have trouble stepping outside of your comfort zone because you're scared of the unknown. You're a planner who likes things to stay predictable. You like to know what you're getting yourself into ahead of time. Most of your friends have been there for you since you were a child – but you find it hard to make new friends because that requires you to talk to new people, to embark on new experiences, to step outside of your comfort zone. Even though you make an incredible friend once you get to know someone, it's hard for you to speak up around strangers. You usually clam up and blend into the background when you don't know anyone else in the room.CapricornYour main focus is your career. Every year, you spend more and more time working and less and less time socializing. Even when you're ready for a wild night out, you would rather gravitate toward old familiar friends than set out to make new friends. It's hard for you to form new connections because you are so set in your ways. You like to stick to your schedule, stick to tradition, stick to what works. However, since some of your closest friends have moved away, it's important for you to put yourself out there again. You might miss your old friends and prefer to spend time with them, but when that's an impossibility, you need to improvise. You need to let some new people in.AquariusYou march to the beat of your own drum and don't care what anyone else thinks. Even though this is a beautiful quality to have, it can rub some people the wrong way. When they're expecting you to act a certain way and you completely catch them off guard, they won't know what to make of you. They won't know how to communicate with you. They will be too intimidated to start a conversation, and since you couldn't care less what they think, you won't start a conversation either. Your independence is admirable, but you need to remember that no one can do it alone. Its okay to care.ScorpioScorpios are comfortable around people they know and love, people who have been there for them since they were young. However, they're pretty quiet around fresh faces. They keep to themselves and let others do the talking. They are hesitant to share too much personal information because they aren't sure whether they can trust this other person yet. Since Scorpios are so mysterious, some people will take that as a sign they don't want to be bothered. Some people will walk away without getting to know them. Even though Scorpios are going to let loose and have fun once they grow comfortable with someone, it can take them a while to reach that step.

No Competition: Do Not Judge Beauty, Take Beauty as It Is

Beauty has been defined as something that is pleasant to look at and all of us love beautiful things. However, each of us has a different definition of beauty. Something that seems beautiful to one might not be so for another and yet everyone likes to be a judge and to label beauty their own way. This year, corresponding with the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, SK II has launched a new series, the "VS" series, with the aim of declaring NO COMPETITION towards beauty. Six Olympic athletes have joined the fight with SK II to proclaim that everyone is beautiful and that we should not be pressured to achieve the "beauty" in everyone's eyes.1. Simone Biles: VS TrollsSimone BIles is an artistic gymnast from the USA who had won four Olympic gold medals in Rio de Janeiro. As a world and Olympic champion, people have always been judgmental of her figure and her leotard as well as her overall appearance. She now calls upon everyone not to be depressed by other's comments and not to be guided by other's definitions of beauty.2. Liu Xiang: VS ObsessionLiu Xiang is a swimmer from Guangzhou, China and the holder of the world record for 50m backstroke since August 2018. She defines beauty as being the person that you wanted to be, a true beauty that lies deep inside instead of one's superficial appearance. 3. Mahina Maeda: VS RulesMahina Maeda is a surfer from Japan, the second woman who had been able to drop in at Nazare. She questions the reasons that she had to play by the beauty rules and takes pride in living by her own standards of beauty. 4. Kasumi Ishikawa: VS PressureKasumi Ishikawa is a table tennis player from Japan and an Olympic medalist in 2012 and 2016. She believes that doing the best and focusing on our own strength will bring out one's beauty. She also states that never doubting one's self, even in beauty, is crucial in achieving success.5. Hinotori Nippon: VS LimitsHinotori Nippon is Japan women's national volleyball team with Kumi Nakada as their head coach. They encourage everyone to reflect and look for limitations in themselves and strive to overcome them rather than listening to the comments of others and focusing on other's beliefs.6. Ayaka Takahashi and Misaki Matsutomo: VS MachinesAyaka Takahashi and Misaki Mastutomo are Japan's badminton women's doubles players who had created history together by winning Japan's first-ever gold in badminton in the Rio Olympic games. They urge everyone to remain true to themselves and give their best in everything they are doing.There will be six animated films that will be released on the 6th of April 2020, each telling the story of the six athletes overcoming their competition in beauty and inspiring all not to compete in beauty. Beauty is a wonderful thing only when there is no competition to judge it.

How to Improve your Indoor Plant Arrangement to increase Aesthetic Value of your Interior Spaces? Make your Home like a Designed-home. Learning Basic Principle of Houseplant Decor!

The living space is where we spend most of our time ; no matter in our home or in our working places. However, not all of us have taken notice of the above fact. We allow ourselves to work in spaces that might cause sick building syndrome that affect our health. We also allow the release of air pollutants (organic volatile pollutants) released from the vehicles, motor, cosmetics, cleaning materials occupied in the air of our living spaces. We ignored the important facts and allowed ourselves to live in a not so comfortable space. Actually, we may twist the facts and solve the problem easily. We just need to insert some indoor plants into our living spaces to improve the air quality and in the mean times upgrade the ambient of the house. However, we need some techniques and apply some principles to make the plant decor and plant arrangement look comfortable and upgrade its aesthetic value. If we lack the basic principles of the plant decor design, the arrangement may make the house look messy and complicated. Size, Ratio and BalanceFirst of all, we have to measure the space available for placing the plants before making any purchase. A big space placing a small plant or a small space placing a big size plant will be considered as imbalance design. Unless you want the potted plant to be the focal point of your whole home décor. Otherwise, If the plant is too small, the plant decor will easily be ignored. If the space is small but the plant is too big, the plants decor will seem very crowded and messy. So, it is better to choose a suitable size that occupies around 70% only of the available space and leave some space for indoor plants to grow.
    The indoor plants usually are slow growing plants and may take several months to grow a little bit higher. Therefore, if your space is too big, but you have bought the small size potted plants. Then, you may use a rack to alleviate the potted indoor plants to make it visible. Other techniques that may be used to place small size potted indoor plants in big space is placing a few of small potted plants in groups. It may attract the attention of others too.
    Repetition and Focal PointToo many different types of houseplant in the whole design may create the feeling of being messy. Therefore, we may use repetition principle to make the whole design look more simple. However, if you love to collect different types of houseplants, you may choose the indoor plants from the same family but different varieties of plant. They have similar leaves shape and texture but different leaves colour. However, if your design styles are more prone to minimalist or Muji styles, then you may try to use a focal point as your plant's décor design. You may place a single pot of indoor plant in the whole wall or window sill and leave a blank on the other spaces. We may make use of a plant rack to alleviate the indoor plants and artificial lighting to make the plant décor become the focal point in the whole space.
  Colour of the PlantsBesides that, we may make use of different colours of indoor plants to break the monotonousness of the whole plant décor design. By different décor design, we may mix different colour of the houseplant like green, purple, pink or red to create the variation according to the different demand about the décor style. If you prefer green colour leaves plants, you may use different tones of green leaves plants like light green, dark green, brown green or army green to create variation. Using a different tone of green colour could break the monotonousness of the plant décor design effectively too.
  Texture and form of the PlantsTexture of the plants means the different size and shape of the leaves; small leaves have finer texture and big leaves with bolder texture. Besides that, dangling vines and up straight plants may create different forms of the plants. By using the combination of the fine and bolder texture of the indoor plants to break the monotonousness of the design. On the other hand, we may use repetition of arrangement for similar texture indoor plants to create a neat and simple feel for the interior design. Besides that, the same principles may apply to using different forms of indoor plants. Using an up straight plant mix with a dangling indoor plant.
  Indoor plants are the most suitable home décor because it is not only possessive of the aesthetic value, the indoor plants have other benefits compared to the other home décor. Indoor plants could purify the air pollutants, release the anion to neutralise the positive ion in the air, releasing phytoncides which could make people feel released and relax etc. Indoor plants have been proven by scientific research that could reduce a lot of minor health problems and improve our life quality effectively. Therefore, we should integrate the indoor plants in our daily life and maximize its uses.

The Link Between Nose Size and Penis Size: Research Confirms the Connection

There are various different beliefs circulating among the public, suggesting that if a man has larger feet, nose, or palms, then their reproductive organ size would also be larger. This belief has sparked curiosity among many scientists, leading them to conduct research, and the results have confirmed that this legend is true!According to reports from "The Sun" and "Sin Chew Daily," as early as 2021, a Japanese team published a study on the relationship between nose size and erect penis length. Now, a South Korean university has conducted a similar study and has found that men with larger noses also tend to have larger penis sizes.According to the latest research conducted by a team from Ulsan University Hospital in South Korea, the team points out that this is related to the concentration of testosterone that the male fetus is exposed to during development in the womb. This hormone plays a significant role in the development of the nose and reproductive organs in the fetus. This interesting research confirms the myths surrounding penis size.Additionally, the research team invited 1,160 adult males with an average age of 35.5 to participate in the study to examine the correlation between penis size and nose size. After measuring their height, weight, foot length, and testosterone levels, the team reached the aforementioned conclusion.The study revealed that men with a nose length of 4.5cm (1.7in) had an average flaccid penis size of 10cm (4in). However, individuals with a nose length exceeding 5.5cm (2.1in) showcased an average size of 13.4cm, which is well over five inches.Furthermore, the study found that individuals with a lower body mass index (BMI) tended to have larger noses and penises, and men with larger feet were also inclined to have thicker penises.Dr. Hong Seung-yu (transliteration), who is in charge of this research, stated that "The size of the nose is an important indicator of penis size, and penis circumference increases with the size of the feet. Furthermore, several studies indicate that hormones encountered during the fetal stage can influence the growth of reproductive organs."

There was a car in front, also following the same route as her.User @rizuan1998 shared his similar encounter using the navigation application previously. "I had a similar experience. But then, the car in front decided to stop, not wanting to lead the way. I had no choice but to lead the way, which took us to a pitch-dark hilly route."

The goal is simple: Get them talking.If you're feeling stumped, we've consulted with dating and relationship experts on the best questions to ask when you really want to get to know someone. Not only do these work for romantic relationships, but they're great to talk about with your friends, parents, strangers on a plane – you name it! Whatever the situation, here are the top 10 Qs to ask so you'll never have to talk about the weather again!1. What's one question you wish more people asked you?This simple Q tells you what they enjoy talking about, what may be their passion, and as a bonus, "this gives the individual a very open-ended approach to share things that may be hard to prompt," says licensed psychologist Carly Claney, PhD.2. What makes you feel accomplished?We all measure accomplishments differently, and you typically value the things that make you feel accomplished. So whether it's receiving praise at work, protesting for a good cause or reaching a fitness milestone, this is a good indication of what makes them feel fulfilled and successful.3. Did you have a childhood best friend growing up?Asking about someone's early years can feel like a lot, so instead, ask about a (likely) positive source of comfort from their younger days. Childhood BFFs can majorly shape us as people, so this might cue you into why they went into their specific line of work or why they love watching movies on Saturday mornings. Besides, it's always sweet to see someone get that far-off, nostalgic look in their eyes when talking about a friend.4. What's your strangest talent?It's usually easier (not to mention more fun) for people to talk about their talents when it's a little less "I'm really good at public speaking" and a little more "I can balance stuff on my head." Not only will you likely get a show (I mean come on – you're a good balancer? Show me now!), but throwing this Q into the mix after a few heavier questions will also keep things balanced.5. Do you have any spiritual beliefs?Some people might connect over religion right off the bat, but others might have spiritual beliefs that aren't as out in the open. Sure, this can give you insight into whether you'll be expected at midnight mass should you end up together, but it can also shine some light on the guiding force behind many of their actions and morals.6. Do you believe in life after death?This might be an obvious answer based on the above question's answer, but plenty of people have beliefs outside of religion. This can be extremely insightful and personal, so make sure to actively listen to their answer and don't try to talk them out of their beliefs. If you want a fun follow-up, ask them what their version of heaven would look like. It's puppies, loved ones, and lots of pizza rolls behind those pearly gates for me!7. What's your go-to karaoke song?Some people love public singing and others would rather sit on the sidelines, so sure, you'll get that answer v quickly. But either way, try to phrase this as a "you have to sing" kind of thing. Which song do they know every word to, and why is that song such a big deal to them? If things are going well, you can absolutely request a performance then and there for a playful vibe change. Just be ready to mic up as well for a spontaneous rendition of "Toxic."8. What's the last dream you remember?...or what's the last dream they remember that they're comfortable sharing? Dreams can get weird, y'all, but oftentimes, they cue you into what your subconscious is trying to work through. Make a non-judgment rule so you can discuss your dreams freely without fighting over the fact that one of you had a sex dream about Jim Carrey's Ace Ventura.9. What's the *best* dream you remember?The definition of a "good dream" really varies depending on the person, their mood, and their values, so while this question seems a little silly, it's actually pretty deep. Whether their favourite dream was when they got to spend time with their grandmother who had passed away years before or got to live in a house made of cheese, you'll get some good intel.10. Do you have a life motto?If someone has a mantra, that's one of the greatest indicators of how they *want* to live their life, so pay attention to what they say and see how it aligns with your own goals. Are they a "live fast, die young" or a "slow and steady wins the race" type? There's a biiiiig difference in how those two people will likely want to spend their future.


Facebook Shops Was Launched On May 19!

Amind Covid-19, many businesses are migrating online to deal with the economic downturn because the physical storefronts are having a difficult time staying open and many people become jobless as people are being told to stay home.
  Photo Source: BBCIn the last several months, the chief executive officer, Mark Zuckerberg worked with his teams on Facebook Shops to quicken the launching of Facebook Shops so that the small businesses could benefit from using this tool. Facebook Shops are free and it allows small businesses to easily start a shop to sell things directly across the apps. This is because Facebook Shops would appear on your Facebook and Instagram accounts as soon as it is set up. It would be soon on Messenger and WhatsApp. The small businesses could also share their story, featured products, purchase features on their Facebook Shops. Besides, here would be no app-switching to a slow mobile web browser to reenter your credit card for the purchase. Moreover, the small businesses can easily integrate their Facebook Shops with different tools like Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Channel Advisor, CedCommerce, Cafe24, Tienda Nube, and Feedonomics to manage their customer journey.
  Photo Source: The Business of FashionIn addition, there would be new Live shopping features across Facebook and Instagram, where the viewers could shop on Live in real-time. A shopping tab on Instagram and a destination inside "Explore" would also be added. These features would enable the users to discover the products that they might be interested in. Mark Zuckerberg also revealed that artificial intelligence and augmented reality tech would be included in Facebook Shops in order to generate better shopping experiences. These technologies would automatically identify and tag products in feeds so people can easily click-through to purchase the products. Small businesses also could personalize their storefronts and use augmented reality to let their customers virtually try their products to see how they might look on you before buying.

It's 2023, Can Malaysians Stop Being Racist To One Another?

I believe that there are good people out there. Good people who look past your skin colour, your religion, and your status.Every year, we look forward to having a community that is open and that is willing to accept everyone as their equal.Just exposing some racist netizens. Best giler baca semua ni pic.twitter.com/c1GCUiyM0B— Divya Perumal (@divyaperumal27) February 4, 2023 But those are just dreams that we can only expect to happen in our heads.Yes, not everyone is mean. Not everyone is nasty.
But together as a force, we can push such behaviours out and expect changes in society. That choice is in our hands.The Thaipusam celebration is about being respectful and believing in traditions and the aspect of having our fellow compatriots saying nasty things about Indians is pretty disappointing.
Sometimes, it feels like instead of taking two steps forward, we are going backwards like all the way. Indians are still Malaysians, they deserve equality and to be treated the same. Who gives others the right to treat them in such haste?Whether it's about the Thaipusam celebration or even the recent A.R Rahman concert incident it's embarrassing as well as insulting. If only there was a way.I mean, it's already 2023. Can we stop being racist already?It's exhausting to be witnessing such incidents when we've only stepped into the second month of the year.Can we just be nice and get along with one another? Or is that too hard?I can't stress this enough: you can love your race, but please respect others as well.

Malaysian Employee Fired By Supervisor Through Text Message Over Paternity Leave

A Malaysian man faced a challenging situation recently when he was laid off by his boss via text message while applying for paternity leave.
When he informed his boss that he needed to take leave to care for his wife, who was about to give birth, instead of being supportive, his boss replied erratically, asking him who would be working on his tasks while he was on leave.
Despite explaining that his wife had gone into labour earlier than expected, his boss showed no empathy and asked him to quit his job instead. The man pleaded to keep his job, even providing proof of his wife being in labour with a photo of himself at the hospital, but his boss was adamant and laid him off.
The man pleaded again, explaining that he had added responsibilities and needed the job, but his boss refused to be considerate. The next day, the man followed up with his boss, who claimed to have replaced him with someone else and promised to pay him on the 7th.
The man shared his story on TikTok, which quickly went viral, with many advising him to file a complaint with the Department of Labour.As of now, he has not had time to make a report, as his baby has been diagnosed with jaundice. He mentioned that he has put his job search on hold while he is actively in contact with the labour department and waiting for a follow-up.

Spilling The Tea on Tea: The Ultimate Tea Guide

Are you a fan of sophistication and hoity toity fanciness? Well, then you need to venture into the world of tea because tea is fancy as hell. I mean, if you don’t believe me, watch any British movie or tv series. They look so sophisticated having tea parties and drinking tea all the time. Venturing into the tea world isn’t going to be easy, my love. You will be flooded with millions of different types of tea, different flavours of tea and there are so many brewing techniques. Don’t get culture chock and try and leave because Goody is here to help you out with a guide to tea for beginners. Here are the different types of tea:1. True TeasDid you know that there are only five true teas in the whole wide world? The five true teas are white tea, green tea, oolong tea, black tea, and pu-erh tea. What makes them true teas is that they are made from the leaves of the tea plant known by its scientific name Camellia sinensi. But if they are all made from the same plant then how come they all have different flavours? Well, this happens in the production process which affects their colour, flavour, and aroma. Let’s find out more about these five true teas:+ White Tea
  This is the least processed tea made from the youngest buds and leaves of the tea plant. After harvesting, the leaves are dried in direct sunlight before being sorted, graded, and packaged for sale.White Tea helps in weight loss, increases energy & alertness, helps reduce inflammation, improves digestion and is great for the heart.The best time to drink white tea is in the morning as it helps wake you up or after ever meal as it aids digestion. However, do not drink more then three cups a day.To brew White Tea, use 1 to 2 teaspoons for every 240ml of water and steep for 1 to 5 minutes. + Green Tea
  The production of this tea includes an additional step compared to white tea. The harvested leaves are either pan-fried or steamed before being shaped, sorted and packages.Green tea has recently risen to fame due to the many health benefits it contains. Here’s an article about 10 benefits of Green Tea with evidence. You should drink green tea in the morning or before workout sessions as green tea contains caffeine and L-Theanine which wake you up and helps you concentrate better. Do not have more than 2 or 3 cups a day and NEVER drink green tea on an empty stomach.To brew, steep one teaspoon of green tea leaves for every 240ml of water for 3 to 5 minutes.+ Oolong Tea
  The difference between oolong tea and the other pure teas is that they are semi-oxidized teas. After harvesting, the leaves are gently bruised to release the enzymes in the tea so that they can interact with oxygen. Then they are dried in direct sunlight before being shaped, sorted, and packaged.Just like the other teas, the best time to drink oolong tea is in the morning or before workouts. You can also find out about the benefits of oolong tea here. To brew oolong tea use 1 teaspoon or 2 grams of oolong tea for 240ml and let it steep for 1 to 5 minutes.+ Black Tea
  This tea undergoes the most production processes. After harvesting, and drying using either direct sunlight or air, they are processed using either the CTC method – crush, tear, curl, or the orthodox method – where the leaves are fully oxidated. Here are 10 Evidence-Based Health Benefits of Black Tea. The best time to enjoy a nice hot cup of black tea in anytime during the day as it does contain caffeine and also after meals as it helps you to digest your food. To brew black tea, use 1 teaspoon of black tea leaves for every 240ml ounces of water and steep for 3 to 5 minutes.+ Pu-erh Tea
  This tea is a post oxidized tea meaning that their oxidation process is more like an aging process. For raw pu-erh, the harvested leaves are pan-dried and oxidized for 1 to 50 years. For ripe pu-erh, they are aged using micro bacteria. Pu-erh tea increases energy, promotes a healthy heart, cleanses toxins, protects bone health, aids weight loss, and reduces stress. The best time to drink it is after every meal so that it can remove excess grease and help your body eliminate unwanted and hard-to-digest fat. To brew, use 1 teaspoon for every 240ml of water and steep the leaves for 2 to 4 minutes.2. Herbal TeaHerbal teas are made from plants that are not the tea plant such as flowers, herbs, spices and roots. Also, herbal teas are caffeine-free, so you can enjoy them anytime you like.To brew them, add boiling water and let it steep for a few minutes. They can be paired with true teas or sweeteners too!Some of the examples of herbal tea are:+ Chamomile – helps you to calm down so it is best to drink before bedtime & pairs well with honey and lemongrass.
  + Peppermint – boosts relaxation and is perfect for when you’re having a slight flu or cough.
  + Ginger tea – help when you have digestion discomfort (angin) so enjoy after your meals.
  3. Flavoured TeasThese teas are actually true teas that are infused with other flavours such as spices, herbs or citrus fruits. It is brewed the same way herbal tea is brewed, just add boiling water and let it steep for a few minutes.Here are some examples of flavoured teas:Earl Grey – black tea leaves infused with bergamot orange rinds.
  Masala Chai – black tea leaves with black pepper, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon.


The Reality Of Growing Up With A Drug-Addicted Single Father

In the year 2020, there were a total of 13.9 thousand new cases of drug abuse in Malaysia. Drug abuse is a toxic addiction that not only negatively impacts the addict but also those around them like family, friends and even co-workers. If a parent is an addict it can have a long-lasting effect on their children's health, education and development. However, just because a parent is an addict that doesn't mean that they are a bad parent, in some cases, they manage to provide their kids with love, support and everything else that is needed but it can still be heartbreaking growing up with a parent who is also a drug addict. Maria, 25, who is from Perak, Malaysia grew up with a single dad who was addicted to methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine and much more. Growing up with parents who were friends with people from the T20 financial category, her dad was introduced to the privileged lifestyle.  According to Maria, her father's friends' parents had connections that got them out of everything, even drug abuse so it was sort of a normal thing for them. Being friends with them meant participating in illegal drug use with them, minus the privileges. So by the time her dad was a teenager, he got in trouble with the law quite a number of times. Here, Maria shares her story with Goody! about what it was like growing up with a parent struggling with addiction.
According to Maria, shortly after she was born, her mother, an Indonesian woman who was in the country illegally was deported and lost contact with her father. Since she was still a baby, her grandparents adopted her so that she would get to live in the country and later be given citizenship. At that time, Maria said her father was an addict but his addiction was still controllable since her grandfather was quite strict with him. Unfortunately, when she was 5, her grandfather passed away and that's when things started going downhill. "My grandmother was never able to control my father, so, he went deeper down the rabbit hole of addiction. Every month when my grandma got her pension he would take it all and spend it all on drugs. It would all be finished within a few days. To support us, my grandma would borrow money from loansharks and from some of her late husband's friends. This severed ties between her and many of our family's long-term friends and later even endangered my life," said Maria. According to Maria, when she was 8 years old, one of the loan sharks came to her school and threatened to kidnap her if her family doesn't repay the money they borrowed from him. Although at that time Maria did not realise the seriousness of the situation, as she grew older she slowly realised how that situation could have endangered her life if it had gone wrong.
  "I never realised that what had happened was almost a kidnapping. Then, it happened a few more times and ever since then, I started being scared whenever my dad's friends would come over, even when they were just visiting, I would hide away in the room and not come out until they had left," said Maria.When she was young she didn't really know what was going on but since her dad never hid his addiction and literally took drugs in their living room while they watched television, as she grew up she learned that what her dad was doing was wrong. "We would be sitting in the hall, facing the tv and my dad would be seated on the floor behind the sofa, taking drugs," Maria explained.Soon, Maria said her grandmother left them to live with her daughter in KL. Since her father didn't have her grandmother's pension to rely on and couldn't borrow money anymore to finance his addiction and take care of her, her father then decided to start selling drugs. She told us that he would often take her on the bike with him when he went to deliver the drugs. He was using her as a cover, to not get caught but she was happy that she got to go on bike rides with her father and meet his friends. She knew what he was doing and was scared but at the same time, she liked spending time with him.
  "I liked going on bike rides with him even though it was to deliver drugs to his friends. He used to tell me stories while I was on the bike with him and he would even buy me some snacks from the roadside stalls that we passed by. As a child you take any time you can get with your parent so it was like heaven to me," Maria explained. "He wasn't a bad parent. He never abused me or treated me badly. He showed me love and always reminded me of how proud he was of me. He always did the best he can to make sure we had food, we lived in a comfortable house with a nice television and we spent a lot of time together which is what a child wants. I remember how we would have movie nights every weekend where he would take me to the CD shop to buy some cheap CDs to watch. He would also always buy me snacks and soft drinks to enjoy while we watched the movies," she told us.
  Maria knew what he was doing was wrong and she knew that he would get caught one day which forced her to grow up and think like an adult at a young age. Maria knew and understood that she had to work hard and study hard to come out of that life. She knew that even though her father was here now to take care of her as best he could, she couldn't rely on him forever so she had to be independent. "Realising that your father was actually the bad guy is a hard thing to process as a child. You really have to prepare for the worst and that's what I did. I learnt how to take care of myself and work hard so that if anything happened to him, I would be okay," she said. True enough, when she hit her teens, her father started going in and out of prison. According to Maria, her grandmother had come back to stay with her but since her grandmother was old, she would help her out as much as she could. Maria said, every time her father got out of prison, he would promise her that he wouldn't take drugs and that he would get a job and get his life together. She said, within weeks he would go back to his old ways.
  "Finding a job as a convicted addict is hard and it's not like he didn't try. Since they lived in a small town, my dad's reputation preceded him which made it difficult to secure a job. Being continuously rejected affected him emotionally and mentally. He would cry whenever I asked him if he had a job and tell me that he was trying his best. The rejection was part of the reason why he would turn back to drugs," Maria said. Since everyone in town knew about her dad, Maria too was treated differently. According to Maria, people often looked at her with pity in their eyes. "One of the worst moments of my life was when my teacher took me aside and after a few questions about my family, the teacher asked me if my dad had ever touched me in a sexual way. It was the most stereotypical and disgusting thing to say. I was taken aback and answered the teacher saying "Even though he is an addict and a single father, he had never done that, will never do that and he does his best to take care of me." she told us.
  Maria said that after that incident, she was so embarrassed every time she saw the teacher. She explained that her father had never sexually assaulted her. She said it is the stigma that exists in the society about addicts that made her teacher say such horrible things but it stuck with her. She knew that her teacher probably wasn't the only one who had such thoughts about her father but there was nothing she could do about it. Her father had missed most of the important parts of her life because he was in prison. He missed her getting all her important exam results, he missed her getting into university, he missed her first day at university and he will be missing her convocation which is in the next few months too. Maria loves her father but hates the fact that he is an addict.
  "I am very sad that he won't be able to watch me graduate from university but there's nothing I can do about it. All my life I worked hard so that I will be able to take care of myself and I will be able to show people that even though my dad is an addict and a single dad, I still turned out fine. I wanted to show them that just because he is an addict, it doesn't mean that my life is ruined too," she explained. Addicts in Malaysia are represented by the media as sampah masyarakat (trash of society) which has built a stigma towards them. According to Dr Rusdi Abd Rashid, director of the Centre for Addiction Sciences at Universiti Malaya, said that discrimination against drug addicts is still at an alarming level in Malaysia, and something needs to be done immediately to stop them from being oppressed by society and the authorities.
  According to Maria, she is seeing a therapist to help her heal from the trauma she experienced and she recommends anyone who has loved ones who are addicts to get proper professional help. Do you have a similar experience? Share your thoughts in the comments section!


Having Doubts About Wuhan Coronavirus | WHO’s Q&A About The COVID-19 (Part 2)

The outbreak of COVID-19 hit a record high in Malaysia, with 566 confirmed cases as of March, 17. This also means that the risk of infection becomes higher now! During this extraordinary period, everyone is trying to protect themselves and their families. However, there are many false and unofficial news on the network. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently published recommendations and statements about these rumours.1. Can a hot bath prevent COVID-19?
  Taking a hot bath will not prevent COVID-19, because your normal body temperature will remain between 36.5°C and 37°C regardless of the temperature of the bath or shower. Conversely, washing your hands frequently is the best way to prevent COVID-19. It can remove the virus from your hands and avoid possible infections when your hands touch your eyes, mouth, and nose.2. Can UV disinfection lamps kill new coronaviruses?UV lamps should not be used for the disinfection of hands or other skin areas because UV radiation can cause erythema (skin irritation).3. Can whole body spray of alcohol kill new coronavirus?Spraying alcohol throughout the body does not kill viruses that have already entered the body. Spraying such substances may be harmful to clothing, eyes, and mouth. Alcohol and chlorine may be useful for disinfecting various surfaces, but they must be used properly.4. Can pneumonia vaccine prevent new coronavirus?Existing pneumonia vaccines on the market cannot prevent new coronaviruses. With the support of WHO, the researchers are working to develop a vaccine against COVID-19.5. Does regular nose washing with saline help prevent infection with the new coronavirus?Rinsing the nose with normal saline can help people recover more quickly from the common cold. However, no evidence rinsing the nose with saline can prevent infection with the COVID-19.6. Are antibiotics effective in preventing and treating new coronaviruses?Antibiotics are not effective against viruses, only against bacteria. The new coronavirus is a virus, so antibiotics should not be used as a preventive or therapeutic approach.There are more rumours released by WHO. For more information, click and see part 1.Other than wearing masks and washing hands, you also need a balanced diet to boost your immunity. If you keep track of the number of confirmed cases, please visit CoronaTracker. If you want to check for the availability of masks, you can check from the website, Where My Mask?Let's cheer for Malaysia and hope that the epidemic will stabilize as soon as possible!

  In my opinion, I'm not sure why they want to build it on water, except for stunt effect. But it certainly will attracts people to visit the store more, as it is something very unique. So, let's anticipate what's on the inside and when will it be opened. And hopefully, RMCO will be over soon, so we can travel there more freely.

4D3N In Local Hospital For Only RM17?! Netizen Shocked At How Cheap His Wife's Hospital Stay Was!

One thing that Malaysia can definitely brag about on a worldwide level is our healthcare system. We are known internationally for having the most affordable healthcare system where locals have to pay a mere RM1 in order to consult a professional doctor at a public hospital.
  Even so, many skip visiting public hospitals due to the crowds of locals that swarm its doors each day and opt for private hospitals since the are significantly fewer people there. Recently, a Twitter user, @amirulhanafy shared his experience at one of these local hospitals and it just proves the point that we have the most affordable healthcare system in the world!Wife aku warded 4 hari 3 malam dekat Hospital Putrajaya, March lalu. Sebelum aku ambil dia dekat ward, wife pesan untuk bayar bil rawatan dan kos ward dekat kaunter dulu. Aku risau dan berpeluh-peluh. Pergi ATM keluarkan duit RM400.Sekali kena bayar RM17 aje. pic.twitter.com/N0vsU9sdhY— amirlhanafy (@amirulhanafy) May 21, 2022 In the viral Tweet, the user explained that his wife was warded for 4 days and 3 nights at a public hospital in March. After she was discharged, he went to the counter to pay for the treatment cost and ward stay cost. Worried that it was going to cost a fortune, he decided to withdraw RM400 from the ATM beforehand.
  He said he was so worried and sweaty as he withdrew the money but when he went to the counter, the nurse informed him that his bill was RM17! He was honestly shocked. He even got his debit card standing by just in case the RM400 wasn't enough. Stunned at how cheap the bill was he asked his wife about the conditions of her stay. First asking about the food to which she responded by saying that meals were given 5 times a day and that she had just enjoyed some kurma chicken. Still not satisfied, he then asked about the care given at the hospital to which she responded by saying that a nurse checked in on her every hour!
  He then asked his wife to guess how much the bill was and she guessed RM300. When he told her it was only RM17, she was just as shocked as he was!Still unsatisfied with how cheap the bill was, he then went to work the next day and asked his co-worker about the cost and his co-worker responded by saying that when he or his wife or children were admitted, it barely cost him RM10.
  The netizen then shared that after this experience he had a newfound respect for our healthcare system. He pointed out that even though we have to wait for hours to meet the doctor at times, it is completely worth it rather than spending thousands at private hospitals that give you the same quality of treatment. Have you ever been admitted to any public hospital? How was your experience and how much did it cost? Share your answers in the comments section below, we'd love to hear all about it!

Health Is Golden | 6 Best Habits In The Bathroom That You’re IGNORING

A bathroom is a place where we keep ourselves clean and healthy. To maintain the cleanliness in the bathroom, remember to develop the following habits.1. Do Not Use Your Mobile Phone During Defecation Looking at the phone during defecation could prolong the time we spent sitting on the toilet. It is very fatal to the health of the anus, as it can affect blood circulation, causing the occurrence of haemorrhoids (enlargement of the vascular anal cushions).2 Clean The Bathroom Door HandleBacteria will move from our hands to the door handle when we touch them. The door handle is the place where we can find active bacteria growth because different people can touch it. I believe that few people will clean the door handle, so don't ignore the door handle and be sure to clean it regularly.3. Change Towels FrequentlyThe towels should be changed after 3-4 times of use. The humidity in the bathroom is relatively high, and bacteria are more likely to grow on damp towels. In addition, the towel may also be stained with skin keratin, saliva, or even water splashes from the toilet. Hence, be sure to change the towel frequently for the sake of hygiene.4. Close The Toilet Lid When FlushingIt is found that the height of water splashes (when flushing) from the toilet can reach the height of the eyes. Therefore, it is usually necessary to develop the habit of closing the toilet lid when flushing!5. Clean The Shower CurtainWhen we take a bath, the substances washed from the body and the bubbles of soap might be attached to the shower curtain. Hence, do pay more attention and clean them frequently!6. Disinfect The ToothbrushAfter brushing your teeth, the remaining bacteria and microorganisms on the toothbrush can easily contaminate the toothbrush. If you use it for a long time, your oral health may also deteriorate. The toothbrush can be disinfected frequently by immersing the toothbrush in boiling water or drying it in the sun. It is best to place toothbrushes separately!From now on, you must pay attention to these details and change your habits to ensure your health is protected!

Pets On Board! Fly Your Pets In-Cabin With This Airline

Given that pets are usually not permitted on aeroplanes, one of the hardest things for us pet parents is to leave them at home while we travel, checking them into a hotel of their own.But recently, Nok Air, a Thai airline, held a one-of-a-kind trip in which passengers were allowed to bring their dogs along for the ride, according to this Facebook post. This is a unique offering, as airlines usually require for pets to be stowed in the cargo hold and not brought on board in the passenger cabin.Dog owners travelling on 30 August from Bangkok Don Mueang airport to Chiang Mai brought their pets on board in specially designed carriers. Special bags marked "Nok Air Pet on Board" were used to transport the animals. The pet carriers included huge mesh panels so people could see their animals from the outside. The carriers also had an opening at the top to enable the pets to peek out of the bag.Flight tickets for two people and one pet cost THB12,999 (approximately RM1,590).One of the requirements for passengers bringing their pets is that before boarding, travellers who plan to bring their dogs must ensure that their animals are properly diapered in order to avoid any unpleasant incidents.Nok Air has not commented on whether the animal package will expand to include more animals or if it will be made available for other routes. The airline however, has acknowledged that this was a one-time flight that allowed passengers to travel with their furry companions.The airline has indicated that they would be willing to consider additional destination recommendations if there is continued public demand.For the time being, Nok Air is the only Thai airline that welcomes pets on board. Let's hope that more airlines will join this initiative and begin providing services to enable travellers to bring their pets on board!


Can't Grab a Parking Space | Angry Auntie Squirt Her "Milk" On Guy's Car!

If you see a parking space but other car owners who are overbearing and insist on inserting it, will you leave silently and continue to look for parking?  Not everyone has a good temper. A few days ago, a woman got out of the car and shot human milk directly!
A woman in Washington, USA, about 40-50 years old, had a conflict with a male driver in the parking lot. The woman took out her big breasts from her clothes on the spot, and then squeezed breast milk to the driver's window!
It is reported that the incident happened because the woman thought she found the parking space first, but a male driver jumps in the queue, so she got so angry that she got out of the car and scolded the man for jumping in the queue, then took out her big breasts and sprayed breast milk to the man's car window. The man was so frightened and he immediately took pictures of the whole process, and even took pictures of the woman's car plate number, and threatened to sue her for blatant molestation, but the woman insisted that it was breastfeeding, not molestation! See the video here~
How is your opinion? Is this molestation?

If You've Recently Purchased Jif Peanut Butter, Might Be Best To Throw It Away Immediately. Here's Why:

Uh oh! Jif's peanut butter has been urgently requested to be taken off the shelf immediately following possible salmonella contamination in several of their batches, specifically, those containing batch numbers 1274425 to 2140425, namely with 425 at the last three digits.
  According to Health director-general Tan Sri Dr. Noor Hisham Abdullah, the Ministry of Health was notified by International Food Safety Authorities Network regarding the product recall and after a thorough examination through the Food Safety Information System of Malaysia data, the contaminated products have indeed reached Malaysia.
  “Sellers must stop selling the affected batch immediately while consumers who have purchased the product should avoid consuming them,” DG Hisyam added, stating that aside from Malaysia, the contaminated batch has also been shipped to countries like Canada, Thailand, Honduras, Spain, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore. SOo, if you happen to have purchased a Jif peanut butter recently, it'd be wise to check the barcode and throw it away if found to be contaminated. Wouldn't want to be caught with salmonella!


Are you sure that your sunscreen have SPF 50? | The Purito's sunscreen scandal

A week ago, a sunscreen saga was happening in the skincare world. One of the sunscreen from Purito was exposed to be advertising their SPF wrongly. In simple words, Purito lied about their SPF of their sunscreen. It turned out it has roughly around SPF 19. How shocking it is! Let's dive deeper on the whole event.A company decided to bring the sunscreen to test@Incidecodercom is a company founded by a computer scientist turned by a cosmetic formulator. The company's vision is to help the public to understand the ingredient list in their cosmetic product.Their website provides a portal for the public to snap a photo of their product's ingredient list or type in the name of the ingredient.By doing that, the public would know what they actually use on their face. Whether it is a heavy chemical or highly reactive ingredient that causes your face redness and sensitivity.You will find out with a click and truly understand (easily) like a cosmetic chemist.No one would actually test the product, including YOU!Let's just say fact-checking is not for everyone. Yes, including YOU.When did you actually doubt the product you are using is lying to you? Probably not that often.Because we usually buy a product based on a celebrity, a friend or the salesperson in the store.Even if you did suspect the product, you don't actually dig deeper. So, @incidecodercom did it for you. But, how?They took it to two labs to test out.They took the Purito's sunscreen to two labs: a Polish and a German lab. The result revealed that Purito's sunscreen has only SPF 19.What did Purito respond?Basically, Purito is saying that they trusted the KFDA which is the Korean's Minister of Food and Drug Safety. Their sunscreen was legally recognised by the KFDA which is a governmental department that handing these issues.They did not doubt the manufacturer that makes sunscreen because the manufacturer was long established. As the manufacturer also registered under KFDA. Purito owned up their mistakes and provided a refund policy.So... should we hate Purito now?We should give it a benefit of doubt. As this issue is not only about Purito itself, the bigger issue here is KFDA approved the manufacturer. Purito and Klairs, depended on the government-approved list of the manufacturer to make skincare or cosmetic product.This could be a good check and balance for the government and the manufacturer. It raises a great awareness for the public to beware on what they are using on their face.Also, for the beauty company to do more fact check before making the product.KFDA, the governmental's department should keep checking the manufacturer to make sure the manufacturers are always obeying the law. Should you continue to use it?Yes, absolutely. There is nothing wrong to continue using it. As it still has SPF but just lower SPF.It still works as a sunscreen but you need to reapply it more to maintain the SPF.So far, only Purito Malaysia addressed the same issue. Klairs Malaysia has not responded to the scandal. Wishtrend which is a global beauty product retailer has responded to the scandal. Hermo(sells Purito's product) did not respond to the scandal as of now.Be curious and dig deeper. Educate yourself as a smart buyer and send your feedback to the company. Make them company accountable for us the buyer.Cover photo source: Image

This way, you can have a more streamlined closet, and even earn some cash.Learn A New Language
