Credit Card Pros & Cons | Pick the Right Card & Use it Wisely are Extremely Important!

What is a credit card?Credit card is a 3-inch by 2-inch piece of plastic, which holds the power of simplifying your financial aspects, or it may end up ruining your financial life if you didn't use it wisely.     You may have wondering, nowadays credit card is an essential item for everyone, but, there are still people prefer to spend cash instead of using credit card. Whether or not you are using a credit card right now, you should take a look on below list of pros and cons to consider is credit card a good fit for you?       PROS  【1】 A Convenient Spending ToolAs mentioned, credit card is just a 3-inch by 2-inch piece of plastic, but it carries many advantages to us.First of all, it is easy to apply from various banks. As there are many types of cards with different benefits, you may choose them based on your own purpose. Bring this small card along in your wallet, and swipe it anytime and anywhere as you wish without carrying cash around.This small card contains certain credit limit, you can spend minimum or maximum amount as needed without exceed the limit.    【2】 An Essential Tool to Track Your Payment BehaviorYou are advisable to own a credit card if you not yet borrow for any loan products.It is an important step to keep a good payment history as it will helps you to build a good credit score, which increasing the chances of approval for loan products such as car loan or mortgage loan.     【3】 For Emergency UseCredit card can use at anytime and anywhere, meaning it can use within our own country as well as other countries. You can spend using your credit card if you have not enough cash to pay for some unexpected incident occur. But make sure you must have the ability to pay back the amount, or else, the interest charge by the credit card is relatively high.    【4】 Earn While You SpendSome cards offer rewards such as cash back, loyalty points or air miles on every dollar you spend on eligible purchases.You can enjoy some discounts while you spend, or earn the reward points to redeem with the bank's reward program or airline loyalty program.     【5】 Credit Card Can Work In Any CurrencyCredit card can be use internationally, no matter in what kind of currency.Although there is currency conversion fees apply, but it makes you more convenient in making payment if you have insufficient money exchange upfront during your trip.Furthermore, there are some credit cards that will waive the conversion fees for international purchases, which is very useful if you having international trip or often shop at overseas online store.      CONS  【1】 Paying High Rates of InterestPlease keep in mind that credit card isn't your cash, it is a form of short term borrowing tools. You buy now and pay next month, that's the rules of using a credit card.If you do not pay off your full balance each month, the interest rate as stated will definitely add on to your balance amount. This is so called the late payment interest rate. You might end up paying more than your initial spending amount.    【2】 Hidden Cost Besides the expensive interest rate, you will also be charging a fee if your payment is overdue, or perhaps you miss out your payment. You will also need to pay a penalty if you spend over the credit limit. Do make sure to always pay your bill on time and do control your spending as well.    【3】 Cash Advance Fees Do not attempt to withdraw cash from your credit card if it is not necessary.Most card firms will charge certain fee or charge a percentage based on your cash advance amount, whichever higher. Please note that there is no interest free period on cash withdrawals, cash advance interest rate is relatively high in this case.     【4】 Annual FeesYou are required to pay annual fees for a credit card, depending on which cards you choose.If you refuse to pay this charges, you may have to spend a certain amount each month, or you can try to call up the credit card center to waive the annual fees. Most importantly, it is recommended to go through the card features and terms before choosing a card.     【5】 Pick the Right CardMake sure you pick the right card, otherwise, you could end up paying more than you expected and it does not provide any spending benefits to you.Try to choose a card which can match your needs and perhaps some other extra benefits which suit you.     Although credit card has both the good and bad outcomes, but it is solely depends on how you use it. In my personal opinion, I support the usage of credit card. You must choose the card that best suits your needs, spend wisely, make your payment promptly, and do not overspending.Bear in mind with these few points, credit card actually can helps you more than you expected!

This M'sian Gets Lost In The Middle Of The Jungle Thanks To Waze, Discovers Muddy Handprints On Car The Next Day

Getting lost in the jungle in the middle of the night can definitely be a harrowing experience for everyone. This Malaysian named Airil Hafiz recently shared his story on TikTok about how he went through a nightmarish incident while attempting to find his homestay in the depths of the Jenjarom area. What was supposed to be a straightforward journey turned into a daunting struggle for survival, as he found himself lost in the unforgiving wilderness.Relying on the guidance of the popular navigation app Waze, Airil embarked on his quest without a second thought, even though the path led him into a dark and foreboding jungle. Undeterred by the ominous surroundings, he ventured deeper into the wilderness, trusting that Waze would lead him to his intended destination.As the narrow tarred road gradually transformed into a rugged dirt path, overgrown with thick vegetation and littered with debris, Airil realized he was venturing into uncharted territory. The production manager had shared coordinates that supposedly led to the location, but to his surprise, no signs of houses or homestays were in sight.Confused and growing increasingly concerned, Airil retraced his steps in an attempt to find his way back to the initial entry point. However, without any service on his phone or anyone to call for assistance, his predicament worsened.Unfortunately, his efforts to backtrack and locate the entry point proved futile, leaving him stranded deep within the labyrinthine jungle around midnight. Perplexed, Airil stopped to assess his surroundings, only to discover that the path indicated by Waze led him perilously close to the edge of a steep riverbank.Realizing the potential danger, he carefully manoeuvred his car to avoid treacherous potholes. However, his misfortune continued as his car became trapped in a muddy pit, immobilizing him for several nerve-wracking minutes.With his vehicle rendered useless, Airil refused to succumb to panic and maintained composure, although his heart raced with every step.Throughout his arduous journey, Airil encountered several peculiar occurrences. Determined to stay focused, he pushed aside any unsettling thoughts and sought solace in reciting prayers and recollecting verses from the Quran during moments of brief respite.Amidst the chaotic darkness, a faint glimmer of light caught Airil's attention in the distance. Despite its remote location, he chased after the elusive light, driven by a desperate longing for salvation, even though it seemed impossibly far away.With each passing moment, the light seemed to retreat further, as if teasing Airil, testing his willpower. Undeterred, he relentlessly pursued it, reaching a point where he no longer cared about the outcome. Whether it would lead him to safety or deeper into the wilderness, he simply resigned himself to fate.After a long and gruelling pursuit, Airil finally emerged from the dense forest, finding himself on a nearby road where a few passing vehicles offered a glimmer of hope, despite the prevailing darkness.Seeking assistance from his Production Manager, Airil managed to secure a ride back to the homestay. Exhausted, he finally arrived at the homestay and rested. However, upon inspecting his car the next day, he was taken aback by the numerous muddy handprints, serving as a haunting reminder of his treacherous journey through the depths of the jungle.Airil Hafiz's ordeal serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the potential perils of relying solely on navigation apps in unfamiliar territories and having a strong willpower to keep going.

Always Full Of Negative Thinking? Check Out If Your EQ Is High

Having high emotional intelligence (EQ) is different from having a high Intelligence quotient (IQ). IQ means the speed and logic of your thinking, which is also related to your ability to solve problems. The higher your IQ, the better at handling problems. On the other hand, EQ is related to your mood and mental health. High EQ indicates how you deal with your emotions in different situations. IQ and EQ both have their own advantages, and they cannot be compared with each other. If you want to know if your EQ is high, check out if you have the following characteristics.#1. You Don't Think Negatively & Don't Let Negative People Affect YouGetting along with negative people can make us feel frustrated and exhausted. People with high EQ are aware of their feelings and can control their emotions when they are with negative people. They can clearly recognize their emotions and do not allow anger or frustration to control them. They will also look at the positions of both parties and find a solution that both parties can agree on. #2. You Are Not A PerfectionistPeople with high EQ know that "perfection" does not exist because they understand that all human beings have their own shortcomings. If you only pursue perfection, then you will be more prone to failure, which will also make you lose the motivation to do anything. You will eventually feel defeated and depressed because you cannot complete the task. People with high EQ will not let such emotions control them, but will continue to move forward, excited about their achievements.#3. You Take Time Off OnlineTaking some time away from the Internet, especially social media can help us reduce stress levels and allow us to focus on what needs to be done. Studies have shown that reducing the use of electronic gadgets such as phones and computers, can reduce stress levels.#4. You Don't Rely On CaffeineDrinking too much caffeine triggers the release of adrenaline, which can prevent you from thinking rationally. Too much caffeine can put your brain and body in a state of excessive stress and can lead to unhealthy behaviours. People with high EQ know that caffeine will only mess up their thoughts, so they will not let caffeine control their thoughts.#5. You Prioritise On SleepSleep and your EQ are interrelated. Good sleep will improve your EQ, and having a high EQ also means you will focus on important things. If you have enough sleep, your brain will be more awake and remember what you did that day. People with high EQ know that if they don’t get enough sleep, their self-control, concentration, and memory will be reduced, so they will try their best to give priority to sleep.#6. You Define Your Own happinessPeople with high EQ can define your satisfaction in life. They are proud and satisfied with what they have done. They can control their lives and they will not let anyone's opinions change their minds. None of us can control what others think of us, but we can control our thinking. People with high EQ know that they don't have to compare with others. Cover Photo: IG of Moon Lau | IG of Moon Lau


“I do not want to work today” 7 Productivity-Killing Habits You Should Know & Quit

As much as we'd like, we don't always wake up every day ready to tackle the world. In fact, some days are just harder than others. However, the difference between being productive and procrastinating, is understanding the habits which can lead you to the latter, instead of the former. It is only in realization can we cultivate change. If you want to be productive, here are 7 habits you most definitely practice. Take note and hit the brakes on them.
  1. No morning routinesJust going with the flow every day or waking up just in time for everything tends to leave you feeling demotivated. Instead, get yourself up earlier, drink something, stretch a little, plan your day, read and meditate.  2. Social mediaSocial media can get addictive and continuously browsing aimlessly would kill your productivity. Instead, keep your phone away when you're working and only reward yourself some screen time, after you've completed your tasks.
  3. Doing two or more things at one timeMultitasking may seem effective and would get the job done faster, but it reduces productivity. Instead, create a priority list and follow that. That way everything gets done right. 4. Saying yes when you don't want toA lot of people like to people-please. It is the easier route to take and that way the only person struggling is you. However, doing something you do not exactly want to do would often bring about forced efforts. The results wouldn't be as pretty. Instead, listen, contemplate and say no if you're not feeling it.
  5. No pre-planningMaking decisions as you go about the day can result in one feeling tired and weak. Instead, make choices a day before for tomorrow, and you would feel more ready to take on even the toughest of days. 6. No frameworkSometimes, we may find ourselves working without a specific direction or aim. This decreases productivity. Instead, pick what is best for you and put your efforts in formulating an end-goal to achieve. Then, there would be more purpose and a drive to work towards that purpose.
  7. Perfectionism First, there is no such thing as perfect, and second, perfection means zero room for growth. It ruins both productivity and self-development. Instead, work smart, work hard, and continue to strive for the bestest of you despite failure.

For acne-prone skin, it is suggested to look for cleansers that contain salicylic acid, also called beta-hydroxy acid (BHA). This ingredient can help remove excess oils on our face and remove dead skin cells. It can also reduce swelling and inflammation of acne. However, high concentrations of salicylic acid can be drying to the skin.

A Scoot flight bound for Singapore from Bangkok had to return to the Thai capital on Monday (May 8) due to smoke in the cabin.Pictures showed smoke filling the cabin of flight TR605, which had departed from Bangkok at 3.56 pm local time (4.56 pm Singapore time) and was scheduled to arrive in Singapore at 7.15 pm.  @cheeken_sotong Literally dk if im on the plane or in heaven wtf is this smoke #scoot #travel  original sound - Trueno   However, Scoot Airlines clarified that the incident was caused by mist from the air conditioning and was not related to any technical malfunctions.

7 Reasons (Besides Covid) Why People Rather WFH

Working from the office was acceptable until it was not. Two years ago, a pandemic hit us, and it's safe to say that nothing has been the same since. One stark difference we assimilated into is the transition from working in the office to working from home. What started off bumpy, became rather convenient, and now as life inches back to normal, many have begun to see the appeal in remaining at home.
  Based on a little research and a lot of common sense, here are 6 reasons why people do not want to go back into the office. #1 CommutingAs fun as travelling can be, you've got to admit that no one likes spending hours on public or private transport getting to work and back. The jams, throngs of people and fatigue just ain't worth it. #2 Dressing UpDoing it for a date, or a girls night out every once in awhile is fun, but to figure out what to wear day in and day out is not something most look forward to.
  #3 Buying LunchBuying lunch is so much more expensive than making lunch or even skipping lunch altogether. Besides that, choosing what to eat? Another puzzle not worth solving. #4 Public ToiletsWhen we can go whenever in the comfort of our own homes (and the comfort of our own bowls), why go through the struggles of a public toilet, right?#5 TimeoutProbably the best part, taking a break whenever things get too much. Whether its a nap, a snack break, having a short read, or watching a sitcom, a little brain rest, can go a long way.
  #6 PeopleLast but definitely not the least, dealing with humans. Socializing is by far the most tiring aspect of being at work, so doing away with it altogether could actually feel pretty great. Yes office experience and all that, but since working at home works and in some cases, proven to be much more effective, why not make it our new normal?


Are you still visiting these touristy spots in Seoul? Well, Koreans stop coming here.

Planning a visit to Korea in near future? Are you pondering on places to go during your upcoming Seoul trip? If so, why not read up this post before departing. I believed that, many will include Myeong Dong, N Seoul Tower and Nami Island as part of your itinerary, however, do you know that, the Koreans actually stop visiting these places which are over flooded by tourists? Scroll down to read up further.Myeong Dong, the shopping heaven  Currently, the main shoppers in Myeong Dong are no longer Koreans. Instead, it is bustling with tourists, especially the Chinese, therefore we noticed that most of the sellers in Myeong Dong were conversing in Mandarin.  Apart from that, due to its popularity among the tourists, the prices for F&B hiked up in this area. So where the locals go? They prefer to shop at GoTo Mall, an underground street market near Express Bus Terminal Station which offers cheaper and more varieties of goods to purchase.  N Seoul Tower, the love stories behind the locks  N Seoul Tower or more commonly known as Namsan Tower was once famous with the love locks on a wall next to it. In the past, the locks symbolize eternity love between those who hang them; but now? The Koreans believed that couples that hang locks on the Namsan Tower will break up eventually. A cursed lock or love lock? If you are looking for a place to enjoy the panoramic view of Seoul city, I would love to recommend you to visit Lotte World Tower which currently is the tallest building in Korea.  Nami Island, the love of Winter Sonata dramaI know you are in shock when you see Nami Island is one the list, so do I. Nami Island was flooded with one-day-tour groups from all over the world after the success of KDrama "Winter Sonata".

10 Things to Know About Black Coffee and Weight Loss!

Lately, many people have been posting success stories of them losing weight using a combination of black coffee and exercise, bringing black coffee into the limelight of weight loss diets. However, too much coffee is also not good. Here are 10 things to keep in mind when drinking black coffee from nutritionist Gordon Cheung!
  1. Does black coffee really have 0 calories?According to Gordon, not entirely. While making the coffee, tiny amounts of carbohydrates and fats will be released. A cup of black coffee without sugar and milk has about 2 calories, so we generalized it (and anything below 4 calories) as "zero calories".2. Which components of black coffee help with weight loss?Increased Metabolism: The caffeine in coffee excites the sympathetic nervous system, which results in a faster heartbeat and higher blood pressure, causing increased metabolism. Other effects include diuretic effects, preventing edema, and improved fluids metabolism.Reduced Glucose Absorption: Coffee contains chlorogenic acid, which is a type of anti-oxidant. This reduces the amount of glucose being absorbed and entering the bloodstream.Protected Liver: Chlorogenic acid can also protect the liver and reduce the chances of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. At the same time, it is a PPAR agonist that helps reduce body fat and prevents obesity and fatty liver disease.
  3. Which coffee has the best weight loss effect?Gordon says that the higher the caffeine content, the greater the weight loss effect, but our body should not take in more than 300mg of caffeine a day. Therefore, 1 specialty coffee a day should be good enough. Take not that "specialty coffee" refers to coffee that has been given a rating of more than 80 by the Specialty Coffee Association.Why specialty coffee? Specialty coffee beans have richer chlorogenic acid content. However, these beans usually have a lower heat tolerance and loses a lot of its chlorogenic acid during the roasting process. That said, lightly roasted coffee beans will have better weight loss properties compared to their more roasted counterparts.4. How much coffee can I drink in a day?As mentioned previously, a person's daily intake of caffeine shouldn't exceed 300mg, therefore 1 - 2 cups of coffee a day is more than enough.
  5. What are the negative effects of having too much coffee?Besides the obvious insomnia for most people, drinking too much black coffee might cause anemia, lack of iron, and lack of calcium, possibly resulting in osteoporosis. Besides that, since coffee increases metabolism by increasing gastrointestinal motility, too much coffee will cause excess stomach acid, diarrhea, and gastric.6. Are men more suitable to drink coffee than women?Research has been done on the correlation between caffeine and gender specific genes. Gordon points out that said research concluded women to be more sensitive to caffeine. This means that ladies have a higher chance of having increased heartbeat and shaking hands after drinking coffee.
  7. When is the best time to drink coffee before exercising?The body takes 15-45 minutes after drinking to digest the coffee, while its effects take anywhere from 30-75 minutes to show. As such, the suggested time to take coffee is 1 hour before any exercise. This will help improve your tenacity and burn more calories.8. How to drink coffee without losing sleep?According to Gordon, caffeine lingers in the human body for up to 6 hours. So, if coffee makes you lose sleep, then he suggests not taking any within 6 hours of your bedtime.
  9. Does black coffee cause cancer?The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reclassified coffee from Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic) to Group 3 (not classifiable as to carcinogenicity). The former classification was due to the release of acrylamide (a carcinogen) during the roasting process, but its amount was far lower than those of other carbohydrates such as chips.Gordon still suggests picking lightly roasted specialty coffee as it contains the highest amount of chlorogenic acid. Besides that, try to avoid drinking coffee (or any hot drinks) at more than 65 degrees centigrade as it increases the chances of cancer. Therefore, any coffee that is not too hot to the touch should not be a cause for concern.10. Who should not drink black coffee?Many people believe that pregnant women cannot drink black coffee. However, Gordon says that pregnant women CAN drink coffee provided they do not exceed the typical daily caffeine limit of 300mg. On the other hand, those with heart problems, gastric and intestinal problems, and insomniacs should try to avoid any coffee at all.There you have it, coffee tips from nutritionist Gordon Cheung. Remember to keep this things in mind the next time you get your daily dose of coffee!

Best Value Facial Cleansing Brush is at DAISO | You don‘t need RM800 to get a good face cleansing tool

We all know how important it is to have our face properly cleanse after a long day out. Even sitting in office all day, our skins still produces dead skins and sebum. If not properly cleanse it, it may causes more skin problems, like acne, blackheads, whiteheads, etc, and we do not want that.
  Looking for a good face wash is no longer enough, you need a tool that could help you do the work more effectively, such as a facial cleansing brush or machine. You can try to Google to find one, but it will possibly cost you a couple of hundreds, just for a palm big brush/machine. We are not in the best time, in terms of economy, buying a RM400 facial cleansing machine would probably drain out your wallet. So what are the other cost-effective alternative?Introducing the Facial Cleansing Brush from the most beloved brand of fellow beauty-lovers - DAISO. This piece of DAISO's jewel is highly recommended by many beauty bloggers, for it's affordability and the amazing outcome.
  One amazing feature that this product stood out from it's competitors is that, it is made out of silicon which you can reach out to every part of your face, including those creases and corners. Some other cleansing machine or brush might probably face the problems of getting into those areas, as their size is bigger and not as flexible. The design of this facial cleansing tool is relatively simple, a cleansing surface with a lot of tiny buds on it, and also a handle at the back for you to "kiap" and move around with your fingers. You can also hang it up using the handle or have it sucked on to your mirror.

  The method of usage is pretty simple and straightforward. First, make sure your face is wet and softened with water. Then apply some face wash on to the brush. The tiny buds on the brush will help foam up the cleanser when you gently scrubbing through your face, which boosts up the cleansing effect of your cleanser. Also, the tiny buds helps to remove dead skins and tiny dust/dirt from your skin when brush upon. Rinse off the soap on your face after you have scrubbed through the entire face (Don't forget to get into those corners).Voila! There you go, a clean, soft, and bright skin.
      If you want to removes the blackheads or whiteheads on your face, this is the best time to do so. Get a blackhead removal stick and apply just some pressure on to the affected areas, and the blackheads will come off super easily! It is for sure that those higher priced facial cleansing machine or tool can give you a better outcome or varieties of outcomes. But comparing the price to it's function, this DAISO Facial Cleansing Brush is definitely worth the buy. Sadly, Malaysia does not have the item yet. However, you can still get it from TaoBao or directly from DAISO Japan.

Do You Dare Try Melanau's Popular Exotic Worm Dish?

If you're already frightened out by the fact that the most bizarre food of Borneo is Sago Worms, which is really a delicacy, you might be even more disturbed by the fact that the Melanau tribe of Sarawak has another worm dish that is similar.
For the unfamiliar, Balan, Kampung Sungai Kut, Hulu Tellian, and Dalat in Sarawak are famous worm-hunting destinations. And not just any worms, they are searching specifically for Ulat Lelamas or Lelamaih.
This worm-hunting activity is known as Melamas, and it is an annual affair among the Melanau community that offers them a good part-time income. The Lelamas hunters could earn between RM1000 and RM3000 per day depending on the number of worms they catch, which they then sell in Mukah and Dalat after being cooked.It turns out that it is an unheard exotic cuisine for us, and it is dubbed as 'food for the rich' due to its expensive price tag. Who knew these worms could cost RM300 and even more for a kilogram?
You'd think that capturing Lelamas would be straightforward, but it isn't! In reality, the only reason these species are so expensive is that they are only available seasonally from January to August and it requires a lot of patience to catch them. The demand for the worms is pretty high during the seasonal period and many are willing to purchase them at a higher price.
So, if you're heading to Sarawak to try some worms, wait for them to mature before eating them, otherwise, they'll taste bitter. And you can't just walk out and look for them at any plants 'cause they can only be found in tropical rainforests that grow Nyatoh wood.
To discover how a Lelamas worm matures, look for it wrapped in leaves with silk, and if you're lucky, you might discover two of them wrapped in the same leaf.You may eat the worms raw, just like sushi, but the Melanau people like to boil them and 'agak-agak' make a dish from scratch without recipes. They tend to use the worms as condiments or even deep fry them to eat them as a snack. So, do you dare to try them?


Benefit of using Scrub | Exfoliating is the easiest way to change your skin condition

True skincare self-love is all about exfoliating your skin regularly. The basic elements of the effective skincare routine can start simple with three products:  1. Face WashWash away the dirt, bacteria that are able to keep your skin from looking great and reduce the risk of having acne. Wash your face every morning and evening. 2. Face ScrubScrub that able to clean deeper. Just use it 3-4 times each week to exfoliate your skin. This can get you the results of having brighter and healthier skin complexion every day. 3. Face moisturizerTo hydrate your skin and protect it away from dryness and aging process. Without using a proper moisturizer can cause your skin dull and saggy. After a long time of not using moisturizer, wrinkles, age spots and signs of aging will start to appear.   A simple skincare routine for a man can be more effective than a major, complicated routine. As long as you pick the right products for yourself before you know your exact skin type. But do you know what's the benefit of using scrub? Here are 5 benefits of using an exfoliator as well as the reason why you need to exfoliate your skin regularly.  BENEFIT 1: Create a healthy and glowing skinScrub your skin gently will eliminate dry and dead skin cells to create a softer and smoother skin outcome, as well as increases your blood circulation to provide you a healthier and fresh-looking face.   BENEFIT 2: Minimize PoresPores are the tiny openings on the skin which expanded to create a build-up of dirt or dead skin. Without exfoliating it, your pores will continue to grow and become more visible.   BENEFIT 3: Reducing the breakouts and acneExfoliating helps to unclog pores and to clear excess oil, which is the main reason for causing breakouts.  BENEFIT 4: Counteracts the wrinklesExfoliating helps to remove the troublesome skin cells, such as dry or dead skin cells, which usually cause difficulty in blending and create a noticeable layering effect for face makeup. With exfoliating, it is bringing the blood to your skin's surface, this helps to create a fuller and youthful appearance.  BENEFIT 5: Maximize the potential of using other productsWithout the process of exfoliation, the other step of your skincare routine will be less effective. As the exfoliation process can tackle those blocked pores and scrub those dead or dry skin cells. Making your skin into a blank canvas for whatever you are going to place on it next to, such as rich moisturizer or light cleanser, these will be successfully absorbed into the deep layers of your skin.  So, exfoliating is the easiest way to change your skin condition.

REAL SUPERNATURAL STORIES: The Mysterious Keeper of Pulau Tikus, Penang And Why You Should Probably Never Visit This Island

DISCLAIMER: This article is intended for educational purposes only and we hold absolutely no intention of spreading any malice. We strongly advise against visiting this island.Not many people are aware of what lies within Pulau Tikus, not even Penangite themselves. Deep within the island, there is a shrine built ages ago, of a local saint by the name Seyad Abdul Mohamed Kuddoos Oliyullah. His origins strangely cannot be traced in any historical records, although legends say that sometime in the days of yore, the mysterious figure was originally an ancient princess who was forced to take her own life to get away from her enemies who were trying to conquer the island. Her body washed back ashore and was later buried on the island. Ever since then, supernatural occurrences began to surround the island. (There exists other versions of the shrine's origins as well, this is simply one of them.) Fast forward to the present day, people now flock to the island to pay their respect to the shrine and bring forth offerings, mainly in the hope of luck and wealth.

Credit: Persatuan Abang Tanjung Penang According to a personal recollection from a local who frequents the island, he used to act as a personal guide for those who wished to visit the island for worshipping purposes. In one instance, he brought along a group of people to the island, whose main intention was to ask for guidance on lucky lottery numbers. When they reached the island, they began placing their offerings in front of the shrine, and it was said that the spirit of Datuk Su, which is what the local saint is generally referred to, possessed the medium who was brought there as well and started muttering the lucky numbers. Everything seemed to go smoothly until the very end of the ritual. Datuk Su, through the medium, shouted a stern warning; "Everyone may leave now, except for that lady!" the medium pointed at said lady before the spirit left his body.

Credit: Talking Ghosts After some interrogation, the lady finally admitted that she brought a "protection sword" which she obtained from a Thai temple as a means of protection. Apparently, this had angered Datuk Su, and the group were advised to leave immediately. At this point, the lady started growling and hissing; it appeared that she was possessed. As they were quickly leaving and dragging the lady with them, they started hearing a mysterious voice chanting Malay spells and the voice grew louder as they made their way out. Everyone also noticed a distinctive fragrance, which is a sign that a mystic figure was present. The fishermen whose boat they borrowed, told them to ignore the signs and to quickly head to the boat.

Credit: Jackie Xiangge Belief Culture FacebookAs they were jumping onto the boat, one of the people shouted, "wait, there's one person still on the island!" and when they looked on, they saw a man dressed in full military uniform, looking down at them. The fisherman simply looked away and said, "He's not one of us. Let's leave." All of a sudden, the possessed lady let out a voice that was much different from her own, saying: "let's see who is much stronger, you or me." The girl calmed down as they left the island. After a few more visits to the island, the local simply stopped visiting.

Your Life-Saving Guide On How To Survive A Crowd Crush

In light of the Itaewon Halloween's tragedy, Twitter user @belugasong has put together the must-know tips when you're trapped in a crowd crush. Let it be at a concert, a gathering, or a packed MRT station, this guide could very well prepare you for the worst. 1. Take note of all exits at the venue. Make sure you know where all the emergency exits are before you enter a venue. Don't opt for the main exit whenever in an emergency, as it's where most of the people would go.  2. Watch for crowd density. Look if the crowd density reaches six people per square meter or more. This would tell you if the situation has gotten dangerous or not.3. Know where crowd crush usually happens.Crowd crush mostly gets dangerous in small spaces such as alleyways, moshpits, or exit hallways. So, leave early if possible, and do not wait until peak hour to avoid getting trapped.  4. Make space around your chest. If you find the density increasing around you, make space encircling your chest with your arms. Do not pin your arms to your sides or above your head. This would leave your chest open to being compressed. 5. Do not take off your backpack.Taking off your backpack is a major hazard. Someone might trip and make a huge pile-up when they fall over it.  Check out this Twitter thread for more tips.  Our sincere condolences goes out to the family and friends of all of the Itaewon crowd crush victims. Source : Twitter

Student Hurts Himself After He Was Forced To Write A Fake Confession

This Form 4 Malaysian student needed 22 stitches after he injured himself with a broken glass.Teachers falsely accused him of behaving inappropriately with his female friend, who he has known for three years when she sought to hand him a birthday present in class.They were both in class during recess when a teacher passed by, suspecting some hanky-panky, and he instructed them both to go to the teacher's office for more questioning.Afterwards, he was questioned about things like whether he had kissed his friend and whether she had sat on his lap.The teacher pressured him to sign a confession even though both of the students disputed these accusations.Since no one was in his class yet and he couldn't comprehend what had just happened at the teacher's office, he decided to hurt himself.As of right now, Jempol OCPD Supt. Hoo Chang Hook confirmed receiving a report about the incident and that the investigation will take some time to finish.


Make These 3 Changes To Regain Work Enthusiasm And Improve Efficiency

The wage earners who work overtime often have to deal with negative emotions. They are prone to feel anxious, and they start to enter a state of burnout.According to research, people who lose enthusiasm for work will gradually lose confidence in their ability to work! However, most people will think that their current job is no longer suitable for them and then move to the next company to gain their motivation. In fact, even if you move to the next company, you will still face the same problem. Hwnce, you need to change your thinking and work mode.
    1. Options, Doing, DoneDealing with multiple things at once can easily make you clumsy. "Options" are all the things that neeto be done. "Doing" is to choose up to 3 things to deal with. "Done" is the completed things. Sort the tasks you need to deal with based on their priority, and then complete them in order. When you have completed 3 things, you can move to "Done", then select 3 items from "Options" and put them into "Doing", and so on. An efficient person can complete one thing within a certain period of time well, and then continue to do another thing.
    2. Change To-Do List to Get to List"To-Do List" is a list of thing that you must do, while "Get to List" is a list of thing that you can do. Literally, the word "must" will make you feel negative because you don't have the right to choose whether you want to do it or not. The word "can" will make you feel that you have the right to choose and freedom. If you don’t want to be affected by these negative emotions, you have to redefine the things you have to deal with. For example, replace "I must complete all customer designs today" with "I can complete all customer designs today because the boss believes in my ability." If you handle things in this way, you will make you more confident with your working ability.
    3. ChunkingDivide the work assigned to you into several parts and complete them gradually. For example, if you need to submit an advertising draft next week, you need to work with the advertising department to understand customer needs, collect information, topics, content, etc. Divide the work nto small parts, and then complete one by one.

Fun Facts You Should Know About Airlines & Airplanes

The pandemic has made many things harder and one of it is definitely travelling. Remember the times we had to wake up at 4am for an international flight? The times where the queue to check in our luggage takes 1 hour? Or the sweet, sweet announcement that our gate is finally open? Maybe being squeezed in the middle seat or having our flight delayed for hours upon hours wasn't as fun, but it sure is missed.
  So, as our vaccines start arriving in our country, and our economy is (hopefully) going up while the infection numbers go down, here are a few fun facts you probably did not know about flying and airplanes:1. Pilots & Co-pilots Have Different MealsIt's not a must-follow rule but many airlines practice it. When flying the same flight, pilots and co-pilots are given different in-flight meals just in case one of the meals has been compromised. You probably don't want your cockpit to be empty just because both pilot are having tummy aches!
  2. Please Open Your Window Shades & Keep Your Tray tablesIsn't it annoying to be woken up before landing so that you can open up the window shades? Why do we need to do it though. Not to get you scared, but most flight incidents happen during the takeoff and landing process. Opening the window shades allow passengers and crew members to keep an eye outside in case anything happens, while tray tables are stowed away so that in case of emergency, nothing is in the way when passengers need to escape.
  3. Lights On Lights OffIf you pay attention, the lights of the plane will be turned to maximum brightness during takeoff and landing for a day flight, and it will be dimmed to the minimum for a night flight. This, together with the opening of window shades, are to help the people on the plane to get accustomed to the brightness or darkness. For example, if something happened during a night flight and all the lights went off, we would all be practically blind for a few seconds before our eyes get used to the dark, and those few seconds saved could mean lives being saved.
  4. Red Light, Green LightWe know planes have lights on the outside, we've seen them in the night sky as they fly across us. But, did you know that there will always be a red light on the left wing and the green light on the right wing? This is to help pilots tell the direction of other planes if they encounter them in the sky. If you see a set of "red --- green" lights, that means the other plane is flying away from you, if you see a set of "green --- red" lights, you'd probably want to get on the radio.
  5. Do Planes Really Need EnginesIf it helps to calm some nerves about flying, planes are built with plenty of tolerance for extreme conditions and pilots are prefectly trained to handle most situations we could think of. In the case where an engine fails during or after takeoff, most commercial planes can actually continue flying with one engine. In the even more unlikely event where both engines fail, planes and pilots are capable of landing without them.
  So, miss flying yet? Hopefully, you've enjoyed these fun facts about planes and flying and have learned something new. The next time you go to the airport or board a plane, do keep an eye out for these things!


Speaking Too Directly May Not Be A Good Thing. Remember These 5 Tricks To Perfectly Master Interpersonal Skills!

Language is equivalent to art. It can make the other person feel warm, and it can hurt people or make people unhappy! If you don't want to hurt others unintentionally, you must master the following 5 tricks to increase your charm and make others want to be close to you!1. Think For 3-5 Seconds Before SpeakingSometimes, we might say some wrong things that could accidentally hurt each other and making people feel uncomfortable. Therefore, it's best to think about whether this sentence is appropriate before we speak.
  Photo Source: Pinterest2. Try Not To Criticize OthersEveryone’s growth and experience are different. Past events would have affected our views on the events. Therefore, we must listen carefully to other people’s ideas and don’t let the other person feel criticized. Try to speak and explain your opinions in a non-critical way, so as to get the other party's approval.
  Photo Source: Pinterest3. Understand First And Be ConsiderateThe dialogue between people should be equal. When you were being asked for help or opinions, remember to understand the whole thing and the thoughts of the other person. Never give guidance or blame immediately and don't force the other person to accept your own opinions.
  Photo Source: Pinterest4. Frankness is Not Necessarily RightDon’t use frankness as an excuse to be ignorant and make fun of others. It is actually a very selfish behavior to only care for yourself and ignores others.5. Always Have EmpathyTo make the listener feel warm, you must know how to think from the other person’s perspective. Speak intentionally so that others are more willing to talk to you.
