How Much Is Too Much Sex? Malaysians Share Their Honest, Unfiltered Opinions:

What is a normal amount of sex? And how do you know if you've exceeded?
  If for some reason, these questions have once crossed your mind, you're not alone. Sex experiences generally vary between men and women and most of the time, the contrast between the opinions of both of these genders can be rather fascinating. We've asked a few Malaysians, "How much sex is too much sex?" and have gotten very interesting answers. Let's take a look:#Mr. T, 25, Lawyer:"To each their own, but personally it's not a priority in my relationship. Between my job and other adult responsibilities, I'd be happy just hanging out with my girlfriend at the end of the day. Free time is already in itself a luxury for adults like us."#Ms. R, 26, Civil Engineer:"How can there be too much sex?"# Mr. E, 36, Consultant:"Well, at my age, I don't mind if it's a once-a-week thing, unless I'm on vacation with my wife. But generally, more than two rounds is too much for me."#Ms. N, 22, Student:"If it was up to me, I'd be having sex 6 times a day! But the downside of being in a long-distance relationship is that it's basically impossible. But to answer your question, I don't think there's such a thing as too much sex, no."# Ms. S, 26, Educator:"How can there be too much sex? Us girls generally have a hard time reaching orgasm during sex. Sometimes it takes more than just one session, maybe even more before we feel satisfied. So, for me, there's no such thing as too much sex." # Ms. W, 23, Student:"There's a limit to it?"#Mr. H, 29, Social Media Manager:"I've once gone four rounds at a time, and I was already exhausted. So generally I think 2-3 times a week is a normal amount."
  What happens when you're having too much sex?Repetitive penetration over a short period of time would naturally take a toll on your private parts. The constant friction could lead to irritation, swollen labia, and vaginal infections, among other complications. Ultimately, listen to your body. If you start to experience soreness, pain, or any discomfort in general then perhaps you should tone it down.
  At the end of the day, it all comes down to quality over quantity. As long as you're having orgasmic sex each time, the recurrence tends to only matter so little. Life's too short to have crappy sex, anyway!


Do Not Make These Skincare Mistakes! You May Be Secretly Ruining Your Skin:

You may pride yourself in having a well-curated skincare routine, but are you using them the right way?
  These mistakes could easily halt your journey towards flawless skin, and some of these you've probably done without even knowing! Find out what they are below: 1. Letting The Dropper Touch Your Face When Applying Serums
Believe it or not, your face is not the most hygienic surface for you to rest your skincare dropper on. When the dropper becomes in contact with your skin, the bacteria residing on it could cling onto glass structure and contaminate your serum once it is put back in. 2. Re-using The Leftover Serum From Your Sheet Mask
  Sheet masks are designed for one-time uses and therefore, trying to "prolong" its shelf life by saving the leftovers to be used another day isn't exactly a smart move. You'll just be putting expired serum on your face. Yikes.3. Applying Very Little Sunscreen
  Always remember the three-finger rules when applying sunscreen, and do NOT neglect your neck. 4. Mixing Sunscreens With Other Beauty Products
  Mixing sunscreens with other products (i.e foundation) might seem like a good idea but doing so will essentially disrupt the film formation; a protective layer that sunscreens are designed for in the first place. That way, your sunscreen will become less effective in protecting your skin. 5. Leaving Your Sunscreen Under The Sun
  Heat can be damaging to sunscreens, especially when it's exposed under the sun for a long time. Heat interferes with the effectiveness of the sunscreen and renders it purposeless. Instead of keeping your sunscreen in your car or close to a window, keep it in contained storage, like your handbag or inside your vanity drawer. These tips are taken from Lab Muffin Beauty Science's channel on Youtube.

Are You In A 'Situationship'? What Is It & 3 IMPORTANT Signs To Know If You're In One

Have you ever heard the term 'situationship'?What is it?Well, it is basically a relationship where you're just sorta, kinda stuck. By definition, it is a romantic relationship which is undefined and uncommitted. It isn't the same as being in a friends with benefits (FWB) type situation. Those who are in FWBs don't become personal or emotional with the person they are involved with. They do not engage with the other about their personal lives.
  In a situationship though, there is more relationship stuff, without the commitment or the labels. What are the signs one may check, to see if they are in a situationship? We've listed the 3 big ones down below. 1. They are not consistent
  You spend time with them, you talk to them for awhile, and suddenly you don't hear from them for days. 2. You're confused
  Sometimes, they would open up to you about things, and do stuff only couples would, but then other times, they are avoidant, shut-down and again, radio silent. They make you think you could get close to them, but then they pull back and the confusion starts. 3. It 'feels' like a relationship (sometimes)
  They may open up to you, go on dates with you, talk about serious things with you, but when it comes to asking, 'what are we', 'where is this going', they draw blanks. It can be frustrating being in a situationship, and it can hurt more than one would intend it to. So if you find yourself in one, and you don't like where you're at, this is your window to cut the chord, before things get worse.

Hair Fall During Shower? Tips To Reduce/Prevent Hair Loss

While hair fall is a common occurrence, it can be alarming if you find out a bunch of hair falling out in the shower (or anywhere else) and it may be time for you to pay special care and consult with your doctor. Just keep reading if you’re not too sure about normal hair loss and check out the hair-care tips to reduce hair loss.
    Hair loss depends on the length and thickness of your hair. The average person generally will fall between 50 to 100 hairs a day. However, those with long or thick hair are expected to shed between 150 to 200 strands. If you wash your hair more than once a week, that amount can instantly increase.     Tips To Reduce Hair Loss1. Use A Wide-Tooth Comb When DetanglingUsing the wrong detangling tools is the biggest contributors to your hair fall. Remember to detangle your hair with a wide-tooth comb, and start from the ends, working your way up to the roots. It’s also helpful to use a hair detangler.
    2. Avoid Rubber Hair ElasticsAccording to the Cleveland Clinic, rubber hair elastics can lead to hair loss over time because elastics can grip your hair tightly. Switch to use hair ties that are gentle on your strands such as ones made of silk or cotton.
    3. Limit Heat StylingUsing excessive heat on your hair can cause breakage and ultimately lead to hair loss. It’s wise to opt for heat-free styling alternatives when you want to blow-dry or flat iron your hair.
    4. Protect Your Hair From The SunOther than protecting your skin from the sun, you should protect your hair from the sun too. Sun exposure can damage your hair and lead to hair fall, merely as using excessive heat can take a toll on your strands. Play it safe and take the proper sun protection for your hair.
  If you have protected your hair as much as you needed to, do it now before too late! Source: L’Oréal Paris

Never has there been a pandemic of such magnitude in recent times that brought the whole world to its knees.Since there is no cure as the vaccine has not been found as of now, it is up to us to keep the virus at bay by adopting some simple habits. Having done all that we can do and to strike a balance between our health concerns and economic viability, we are keeping our fingers crossed that the MCO will be lifted soon, albeit with certain safeguards in check.Photo source: freepik          As the virus is still around, once the MCO is lifted the following are what I am still going to do as good hygiene and social distancing are two utmost priorities to break the chain of infection:
        1 We should still adopt the 3Ws which are Wash, Wear, and Warn. - After touching anything outside we should wash our hands with soap and if that is not possible, use sanitizer to clean our hands. - We should still be wearing masks when we are outside working or running errands. - We should also not shake hands or hug or pat our acquaintances but instead greet them with our right hands on our chests or other contactless gestures. - If we sneeze or cough we should make sure we don’t do it in the direction of others and stay out of the way when others cough or sneeze. - As the virus is still out there and is airborne, we never know who can transmit the disease to us. Even though we may be healthy, there is no knowing if the people we come into contact with can infect us. As of now, there are still new clusters coming up beside the successive generation infections.         #2 We should also avoid the 3Cs which are crowded, confined places and close contact/conversation with others. - All should not rush to the wet markets or shopping centres to get your supplies. Then there will be long queues and people will jostle with each other especially in unguarded places like the wet markets, with dire consequences. We can still order some of our supplies online and wait for delivery as well as buy in bulk and not go out so often.- Working from home should be encouraged, where possible. Some companies have work rotation schedules whereby half the workforce work alternate weeks. This is also keeping in tandem with the concept of avoiding crowds. - If possible, we should cook our own food or if you are at work, take-away or order online delivery unless of course there is no proper space at work to eat.
         We have come so far in our fight against this virus and do not let our subsequent actions create another wave and waste all our earlier efforts. Together (although not physically speaking) we can triumph over this and let our victory be something we can rejoice in the near foreseeable future. May the force & not the virus be with you!

This Clan Makes- Over & Lives With Their Relatives' Dead Bodies For Years! | Indonesia

Warning: Viewer discretion is advised. Nope, this is not a Halloween special! About 800km from Bali, the Toraja people actually treat their dead relatives' bodies as if they're still alive. The ethnic group consists of 1 million people. The group believes that the soul of the person stays close to the body even after death. By preserving their bodies, they will earn good fortune! When a relative passes away, the families provide them with food, clothing, water & a bowl to be used as a 'toilet'. They mummify the bodies with special leaves & herbs to remove the decaying stench. According to The Sun, formalin is coated onto the corpses so the flesh & skin don't rot. Bodies are wrapped in blankets and live in the homes until their funerals- months or decades later. Every year, the Torajans remove the dead from their coffins for a makeover & to let the younger generation 'meet their ancestors'.So, if you happen to be in the village, don't be shocked and try to be respectful of their culture!

Malaysians Share: Why Do You Find It Hard To Ask Your Boss For A Salary Raise?

After many years of advocating, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has finally announced that starting from the 1st of May, the government will implement a RM1,500 minimum wage for private sector employers with five or more employees.
  While this is a win for many, it is no doubt that there are still some of us who are underpaid and still too afraid or do not dare to ask our employers for a pay raise. With the cost of living rising and the toll the pandemic has taken on our economy, there's no way we can continue to survive with a low salary. But, why do Malaysians think it is better to suffer in silence rather than to ask their boss for a raise?We decided to ask our audience to share their honest opinions as to why they find it hard to ask for a raise, here's what they had to say: # Vin, Customer Service Representative"Most bosses are grumpy, so I am scared to ask for a raise even if I deserve it because I am worried that I will get scolded or embarrassed by my boss in front of the other employees."
  # Nora, Social Media Executive"It is not common for Malaysians to ask for a raise so if I decide to do so if I do it, my boss might have a bad opinion about me."# Kuan, Influencer Marketing Executive"Most of the time when I ask for a raise my boss will say that my work did not meet the KPIs, so it will make me feel like I am asking for something I don't deserve or like I am not working hard enough to get a raise."# S, Electrical Engineer"I don't dare to ask for a raise because I feel like I don't have enough experience to do so. Maybe if I gain enough experience and know my value then I will be brave enough to ask."
  # B, Brand Associate"Because it's Malaysia!" # Dan, Production Technician"Normally after the probation period, bigger companies will provide employees with a RM200 - RM300 raise and smaller companies, RM 100 - RM200 raise, so since our salary is already revised, people are afraid to ask for another raise."# SJ, Account Executive"Because I don't have any experience and I am just a fresh graduate."
  # Lav, Account Clerk"If I ask then suddenly my boss will start paying extra attention to my work and finding every minor error to use as an excuse not to give me a raise." # Jo, Sales Executive"Sometimes it is because the company told you in the past about how they cannot afford to do so. You want to leave but you need job security so you just continue to work at a low salary worried that if you ask for another raise, they will let you go because they can't afford to pay you."# Angel, Logistic Assistant"My boss thinks that the salary offered is the maximum pay for my job scope, so if I ask for a raise, he will say that I am not qualified enough to get a higher salary even though my job scope is the same as my co-workers who are getting paid more than me."# KC, Retail"Want to ask for leave also scared, imagine asking for a raise!"
  # Ella, Purchasing Executive"Due to social culture, asking for a raise is kind of a taboo. We were taught to obey instructions, but not negotiate or discuss ever since we are young making us unsure how to stand up for ourselves. To question or discuss an issue is considered a bad thing."# Lee, Business Development Executive"If I ask then my boss will think I don't appreciate what I have and that I don't appreciate the company and my job here."ConclusionBased on the opinions above, it can be concluded that most Malaysians are scared to ask for a pay raise and would rather be underpaid than stand up for what they deserve. But since we live in a society where standing up for yourself and being brave is often misinterpreted as being rude, it is completely understandable why Malaysians feel that way. However, it is important that we cultivate a new culture of being brave and fighting for yourself and what you deserve. Malaysians need to understand that asking for a raise is normal and standing up for yourself is normal too. So, if you manage to build up the courage to ask your boss for a raise, you can refer to our article "Ways To Ask Your Boss For A Raise In Salary, According to Expert Opinion" where an expert who has been working in the Human Resources department for 5 years shares the best way to ask for a raise. Have you ever been rejected when asking for a raise?

UNIQLO Godzilla vs Kong Series

If you‘ve grown up watching monster movies then you must’ve been excited when "Godzilla" came out in 2014 and "Kong: Skull Island" came out in 2017. But, what can be more exciting when the 2 most famous creatures in the MonsterVerse meet for a battle royale? That's exactly what's happening in the much-anticipated Godzilla vs. Kong coming to the big screens end of this month!To celebrate the clash of the greats, UNIQLO has introduced an entire "UT Godzilla's World" series. Let's have a look!
  The series comprises of 6 adult-sized t-shirts, each sold at RM59.90, and 4 kids t-shirts that go for RM39.90 each. Some of the T-shirts are primarily for Godzilla fans (it is called Godzilla's World after all) with some designs of fan-favorite MechaGodzilla!

  The other half of the series depicts the epic showdown between the kings of monsters, with even "Team Godzilla" and "Team Kong" shirts for the kids to proudly display their loyalty to their favorite creature.

  Each design comes in a different colors, with white, block, navy green, navy blue, and brown to choose from.
  As of now, you are able to preview the "Godzilla's World" T-shirt series on Uniqlo's website, but they are not for sale until late March, which we think should be around the time the movie gets released (25 March). So, are you Team Godzilla or Team Kong?


Apple (secretly) Announces AirPods Max!

The AirPods and AirPods pro have been part of Apple's best sellers ever since their launch. However, there are still a large number of people who prefer over-ear headphones rather than in-ear pods. That said, since the launch of AirPods, rumors have always been surfacing every now and then about the launch of an over-ear headphone version. Well, today, rumors are no longer rumors.
  Introducing the AirPods Max! Boasting premium sound quality and active noise cancellation, it comes in 5 familiar colours: Space Gray, Silver, Green, Sky Blue, Pink, and starts at a whopping RM 2399! (gasp) That's only RM 500 away from a brand new iPhone 11! (double gasp)
  So, what are you actually paying for? Let's have a look:# Custom Acoustic Design For Maximum Comfort And FunctionalityAlthough the design seems typical, it is anything but. The canopy is made of strong but flexible stainless steel and is covered with a breathable knit mesh that can effectively distribute weight and reduce pressure on the head. This makes it perfect for a wide variety of head shapes and sizes.
  Next, the ear cushions are made out of custom-designed mesh textile wrapped around acoustically engineered memory foam to gently cup the ears with a comfortable seal, making the audio experience more immersive.Something you might not find in other headphones is the Digital Crown, which was inspired by none other than the Apple Watch. It is the go to control hub for volume, play/pause, answering phone calls and Siri activation.
  #Apple H1 Chip For The Best Listening ExperiencePeople who use over-ear headphones are usually serious about their audio and Apple knows that. Hence, they've equipped the AirPods Max with the H1 chip in EACH ear cup. The chip uses advanced software to deliver high quality sounds with minimal distortions.
  Also, by using the 10 audio cores in each chip that are capable of 9 billion operations per second, it is able to carry out breakthrough computational audio including:• Adaptive EQ - The AirPods Max adjust low and mid-frequencies in real time to deliver every audio detail.• Active Noise Cancellation - Using 3 outward-facing microphones and one inside the ear cups.• Transparency Mode - To allow users to listen to what they want while hearing the environment.• Spatial Audio - AirPods Max track your head in space so as you move, the audio adapts.#The Magic of AirPods for Seamless IntegrationUsers who have tried out the traditional AirPods know for a fact how easy it is to setup, connect, and use them. All of this is carried forward to the AirPods Max, including one-tap setup, automatic pairing, automatic switching between devices, and auto pause when the user removes or lifts one ear cup.
  #20 Hour Battery Life for All Day UsageAirPods Max boasts 20 hours of audio playing and talk time even with Active Noise Cancellation and spatial audio on. It comes with a soft, slim Smart Case that keeps the headphones in a ultra-low-power state to preserve battery. What's more impressive is the claim by Apple that a 5 minute charge can give up to 1.5 hours of listening! What about the million-dollar question: "Does it have a power brick?" Unfortunately, no, it only comes with a lightning cable so you'll have to figure the rest out for yourself.
  Does the AirPods Max get you excited? Are you one of those people that have been waiting for this forever? It's still unsure when it'll be open for orders in Malaysia, but you can already check it out on Apple's website here. I know I can't wait to try one out myself!*Cover images from Apple.

Famous Hong Kong Actor Richard Ng Dies Aged 83

The renowned comedy actor Richard Ng Yiu-hon died last Sunday (April 9) due to health complications and old age. The Five Lucky Stars franchise actor's doctors called his family and asked them to come to the hospital to say their final goodbyes, as he is in a critical situation.
According to reports, Ng's heart had stopped, and life support kept him alive. The doctors eventually certified Ng's death by signing a death certificate.
In 2021, Ng disclosed that he only had 10 per cent of his kidney function left and had to undergo dialysis daily. This came after several sicknesses, including heart blockages and hearing loss. Ng first gained notoriety when he starred in Michael Hui's comedy film The Private Eyes in 1976. He became famous for his role in Five Lucky Stars (1983).

Pamper Yourself Without Relying On Your Partner | A Woman Who Loves Herself Is The Most Beautiful

Instead of desperately being kind to everyone, we must establish our own value of existence, try our best to be good and love to ourselves. This will make people feel that you are of high value and will unconsciously want to please you! If you want to be an attractive and intelligent woman, you must learn the following points!1. Organize Your Mental HealthYou must take care of your own emotions before taking care of other people's emotions. If you feel that the other person makes you uncomfortable, you must gradually stay away from them. This is not to ignore the feelings of the other person, but to protect yourself.2. Don't Be Too Harsh On YourselfOverwork will make you age instantly, so don't be too harsh on yourself. Overwork will not only make you love life but it will destroy your vitality. 3. Be AssertiveWhen many people are asked to express their opinions, they choose to remain silent and are forced to do things they don't like. In fact, we should have the courage to express our opinion and not suppress our emotions and feelings, so that we can live more comfortably and happily.4. Compliment Yourself MoreOften blame yourself, always feel that you have not done enough to be better than others? May as well let go of this idea, lower the barrier to praise yourself, and praise yourself more. If you can’t find anything worthy of praise in yourself, you might as well look in the mirror and ask yourself if the threshold is too high. Everyone in the world is an ordinary person, don't set your own requirements too high.5. Know How To Choose OptionsEveryone has the right to choose. If you encounter unfairness or something you hate, you can make changes instead of accepting it dumbly. There is no designated path in life, you can choose to make mistakes, admit defeat, or give up. 6. Tolerate Your Own MistakesOnly those who can tolerate themselves can improve themselves and have the ability to be truly tolerant to others. Therefore, treat yourself better, and learn the ability to tolerate your mistakes.


I'm Bleeding?? 11 Things Women Need To Know The First Time They Have Sex

Having sex for the first time is a scary experience for most everyone. A series of I'm not sure what I'm doing, why does it feel like that or is this good for them, first-times are hardly ones for the history books. There is a world of things no one tells you before you decide to have sex for the first time.
  As means to aid that, we are listing down some of the most common first-time sex questions women may have, in the hopes to give the lot of you a little bit more confidence moving forward henceforth. Check them out. #1 Does penetrative sex hurt?
  Well yes, and no. This really depends on the individual woman. For some the experience would hurt, as your body adjusts to new movements, whereas for others, it could just feel uncomfortable. Having sex is relearning to use your body, or parts you weren't quite sure could function in a certain way, so of course, there is an adjustment period to get used to. However, if you are having long term pain after the experience, then consulting a doctor would be wise. #2 Will I bleed when his penis enters me?
  Again, yes and no. Some people bleed because the hymen tears a little when the penis enters the vaginal hole, whereas for some, it just resorts to stretching, so no. If you do bleed a little, do not be alarmed, you're not broken, it is perfectly normal. #3 I don't think his penis can fit in there
  Believe it or not, penises fit into vaginas most times. A vagina is 3-7 inches long, so fitting in there, isn't as big as a problem as you think it is. You just need to take it slow, steady, and when your body's ready, you'll know. #4 Is birth control good enough, must I also use a condom?
  Now this is a conversation for you and your partner. The two of you need to talk things out, and try to understand what works. Of course using a condom is a 98% effective form of birth control and preventing STIs, but to each their own, so long as you're practicing safe sex. #5 Is sex only sex if it goes in?
  This is the patriarchy talking. Sex is about you, your experience, your pleasure, your vulnerability and the intimacy you share with your partner. This means that you define what sex is. It does not have to be penetrative, to be deemed sex. #6 What position would hurt the least?
  Also something based on respective individuals, use the position which you feel most comfortable in. If being on top, makes you feel like you can control entryway and movements, so be it. #7 How long does sex take?
  It could take from less than a minute, up to 7 minutes. Each couple is different. #8 What about orgasms?
  What about them? You could get one, but you may also not get one. The presence of one does not mean sex isn't sex. Sex can still be sex without an orgasm. First times are mostly for exploring each other, so it would be best to not have any expectations going in. However, should you crave it, then strive for it, and you may not be disappointed. #9 Can I have sex if I'm on my period?
  If that is something the both of you are okay with, then why not? Still use protection though. #10 Should I use lube for penetrative sex?
  This isn't a must, but it can help reduce friction, which may in turn make you less uncomfortable, or in pain. Besides that, it can also feel pleasurable, so that's a plus point. #11 Will it be good?
  The first times are mostly awkward, nerve-wrecking, uncomfortable and not at all what you see on tv, or porn (if you have watched porn). Even if it isn't the first time for your partner, it is still their first time with you. The key is being honest with one another, knowing that there is a learning curve to sex, and being okay with going as slow as either of you needs to.
  First-times often require a lot of planning like, location, protection, deciding what kind to have, enthusiastic consent, what the two of you personally like, so on and so forth. It is doing what you can to make each other feel a lot safe, the least scared and the most aroused. The whole experience will not be a bed of roses, but with time, it will only get better.


Keeping yourself vitalized for a superb day ahead

Do you feel exhausted every time you open your eyes with nothing to look forward to? Well lucky you, 'cause we got a few pointers to aid in the rejuvenation of yourself. Before you gain secret knowledge, keep in mind that the most important meal of the day is breakfast.                                                                                1. Drink WaterAfter getting up in the morning, gulp down a glass or two of room temperature water to rehydrate your body and provide a fresh start for your digestive system. But at any rate, you're feeling fancy, slice a thin slice of lemon ( put a spoonful of honey if you aren't into sour taste ) and insert it into warm water as you will be able to obtain vitamin C and scour toxins from your body.                                                                                2. Plan Your Breakfast AheadSome ingredients included in your breakfast can be prepared a night before to be time-efficient in case you're behindhand on an occasion ( like cut up tomatoes or your own homemade dressing ). The most essential part of the meal is involving lean protein and fiber, a low-fat plain yogurt without sugar covered in fresh fruits would be one out of the many others as a healthy meal. By the same token, to prevent the boredom of your taste buds, replace your morning meal with a new variety of food occasionally.                                                                                3. Have Something Warm During Your MealBear in mind to keep your meal a balance of hot and cold, as warm food or liquids enhance your digestive system. It's also recommended to prepare your own drinks so the amount of sugar and other high-calorie additives can be controlled or another option would be to order a low-calorie drink. On top of that, consuming only a beverage as a meal will only be insufficient for your diet.                                                                                4. TimingEat your breakfast within an hour from the awakening of your slumber as it helps keep your blood sugar levels stable throughout the day. During your meal, relax and chew carefully as it ameliorates your digestion along the way.                                                                                Last but not least :Here's noteworthy advice as a small reward for being eager to improve your life, a nutritious breakfast assists in boosting metabolism; reducing cravings; maintaining a healthy weight, and reducing the risk of other health problems. Wishing you luck in your journey to a salubrious way of life. " All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast." - John Gunther*Cover images from ( Left ) Pinterest & ( Right ) Pinterest


5 Tips to Maintain LDR

It’s not easy to maintain a long-distance relationship. In a LDR, you can’t always get an instant response from your loved one or can’t meet him/her when you’re in need. It’s tough but that does not mean it's impossible! Let’s look at these 5 tips to maintain your LDR! 1. Treat your handphone as your best friend.A long-distance relationship doesn't allow couples to meet in person, so please utilize your handphone as much as you can! It's best to keep in touch with your partner every day and share the daily happenings. It’ll be so good to hear his/her voice and see his/her face even if you can't really touch him/her at the moment. Set a daily video call time so that you guys will have some time to talk with each other.
  2. Do the same things even though you're not staying together.It’s recommended to read the same book, watch the same movie, or cook the same food with your partners. You'll get more common topics to talk about and can share your feelings with your loved one. If you would like to have more fun, you can watch the same movie with your loved one at the same time via Skype or Zoom. Besides watching the movie, you both can discuss the storyline together.3. Always obey your promises.No matter what kind of couples you're, it is very important to keep your promises from time to time. For example, if you’ve promised to call your loved one at 10pm every day, you must stick through the schedule. Fulfilling promises is also a way to let him/her trust you more. Similarly, if both of you had set a real meeting time, you must try your best to overcome all difficulties to meet him/her because staying apart for a long time may cause each other to feel insecure. So, appreciate every chance to meet in person!
  4. Be confident in your relationship.It's really crucial for you to be confident no matter to your partner or your relationship. If you always think too much or do not believe in your partner, it'll be difficult for you to stay together with him/her. The best and only tip to avoid fighting is always trust your loved one. Don't be too doubtful! If you really have questions for your partner, try to communicate after calming down. You'll definitely regret it if you make any decision in anger. Also, and important tip, don't bring up 'break up' discussion too often when you have arguments with him/her! Fighting may be a good way to grow up together so we hope all couples could learn from that.
  5. Travelling together.Planning trips and travelling together are also good ways to maintain a LDR. Travelling does not mean overseas trip all the time, there are also a lot of local destinations which that are not too costly. Travelling will definitely let you understand your partner further and it's a good chance for you to stay with him/her few days consecutively. It's like an opportunity for you to see the future life when both of you are married. This is also why a lot of people suggest that you must travel with your partner at least once before marrying!“You’re a thousand miles away, but no one else is closer to my heart than you’re.” Let’s hold hands and go through everything together!
