This M'sian Exposes Prison-Like Rental Room Conditions For RM250

In a surprising turn of events, a Malaysian man recently embarked on a room-hunting journey in the Shah Alam area. Eager to find an affordable place to stay, he contacted a landlord who advertised a room for an unbelievably low price of RM250 per month. However, the shocking images he received in response quickly changed his perspective.Theres no way I would rent this kind of room again. The aircond room I cannot landlords, please. pic.twitter.com/kQo60kOKyQ— Far Sun (@farfromthesunn) April 25, 2023 Expressing his dismay, the man took to Twitter to vent his frustration with the seemingly heartless landlord who had recommended several rooms to him. To his utter disbelief, each room was described as "unbearable" and reminiscent of prison cells. The images painted a bleak picture: cramped spaces that barely accommodated a mattress, devoid of any room for a wardrobe or even a small desk. However, the most concerning aspect was the shared air conditioning system with the neighbouring room.

According to the landlord's pricing scheme, the room with shared air conditioning was offered at RM250 per month, while the same room without air conditioning came at a slightly lower price of RM200.Additionally, for those seeking a slightly more spacious room, the rent increased to RM280 per month without air conditioning and RM350 per month with air conditioning.

Though tempted by the affordability, the man couldn't fathom subjecting himself to such living conditions. After careful consideration, he politely declined the landlord's offer, stating that he would never agree to rent a room that resembled a prison cell.Please jangan support landlord lahnet macam ni. Walaupun kita ni tak ada tenancy act, tapi jangan lah mata duitan sangat adoi. Diorang ni beli rumah lepastu tak mampu bayar, harapkan tenant untuk bayarkan sampai buat partition bagai nak gila. Abah dia— Hani (@hhufiy) April 27, 2023 The man's tweet instantly ignited a flurry of discussions and comments from netizens who shared his frustration and criticized the appalling conditions depicted in the photos. The shocking revelation highlighted the importance of adequate and habitable living spaces, emphasizing the need for fair and reasonable rental standards in the market.There's hardly even any space to put all my clothes, never mind my other possession. I'd better get paid for that space rather than paying for it.— Bae Inhyuks Dimples (@sejajeoha987) April 26, 2023 While the quest for affordable accommodation continues, stories like these serve as a reminder to potential tenants to be vigilant and thoroughly inspect rental properties before committing to any agreements. It is crucial to prioritize personal comfort and safety, ensuring that the chosen living environment meets basic standards and promotes a healthy and conducive lifestyle.Mampus ehh bilik macam ni, adoii. Ni kalau tempat kerja stress, balik masuk bilik macam ni. Mau ak jadi beruk, gila dengan diri sendiri— esahhmanaf (@potpett) April 25, 2023 As discussions surrounding the issue persist, it is hoped that landlords and property owners will take note of such concerns and strive to provide suitable and dignified living spaces for prospective tenants. After all, everyone deserves a home that offers comfort, security, and peace of mind.

We Almost Fell For A Fake Facebook Support Team Scam, Here's How It Went

No one is safe from scams. Literally, NO ONE. Even a Facebook page can be targeted! On the 21st of June, Goody Malaysia received an email claiming to be from "Meta Business Support," stating that our Facebook page was being unpublished due to a violation of community standards. Fortunately, we have covered too much scam news on our site, making us highly alert to such incidents. Our vigilant team spotted several red flags, prompting us to investigate further and avoid falling victim to this scam. Here's the full story:- The Email from "Meta Business Support"In the email we received, it claimed that our page, Goody Malaysia, was being unpublished due to an alleged violation of community standards. The email cunningly suggested that we could appeal the decision if we believed it to be false, conveniently providing a link for that purpose. The link directed us to a Facebook Messenger sign-in page. This raised our suspicions even further, as it became apparent that the scammers were attempting to deceive us into providing our login credentials.
More Suspicious Elements First, the sender's email address was excessively long and differed from the typical email addresses used by Facebook.
Secondly, the absence of the header, usually displaying the Facebook logo, added to our scepticism.
Furthermore, we discovered critical sentence mistakes that would be unlikely for legitimate communication from Facebook.
Verifying the ClaimsRather than immediately clicking on the provided link, we decided to cross-check the email's content and claims. We reviewed our page's quality and found no violations. To ensure our investigation was thorough, we reached out to the official Meta Business Support. They confirmed that our page was indeed in compliance and clarified that the email did not originate from their team. Their affirmation validated our suspicions, preventing any unnecessary actions on our part.The Meta Business Support personnel also shared some tips with us on how to identify fake emails.
Essential Tips to Stay SafeWe are grateful that we were able to spot the errors and avoid unfortunate incidents from occurring. We would like to share a few tips with our fellow readers to ensure that everyone remains vigilant and doesn't fall victim to any fraudulent cases.# Remain Calm: When receiving emails or messages indicating trouble or problems, it's crucial to stay calm and not let panic drive your actions. Scammers often exploit heightened emotions to manipulate their targets.# Scrutinize Messages: Take the time to carefully read the entire message, paying attention to suspicious elements such as phone numbers, email addresses, formatting discrepancies, and sentence errors. Compare these details with previous messages or emails received from the purported sender to identify inconsistencies.# Check Before Action: Independently verify the status of your account or page by directly accessing the platform's official channels. Avoid clicking on links or providing personal information through suspicious emails or messages.# Confirm with Official Sources: If you have doubts about the authenticity of a communication, reach out to the official support team or customer service channels of the platform in question. Confirming with trusted sources can help prevent falling victim to scams.# Stay Aware of Scam Tactics: It is crucial to expose yourself to news and information about fraud cases, both old and new. Familiarize yourself with common scam tactics and the latest trends in fraudulent activities so that you can recognize and avoid potential scams. Stay updated and stay one step ahead of the scammers.The attempted scam targeting Goody Malaysia serves as a reminder that scammers continue to devise new tactics to deceive unsuspecting individuals and organizations. By maintaining vigilance, scrutinizing suspicious messages, and verifying claims with official sources, we can protect ourselves and others from falling prey to such fraudulent schemes. Stay alert, stay informed, and together we can outsmart the scammers.

Adulting 101: Managing Your Money

One of the biggest and probably worse parts about becoming an adult, is learning how to handle your cash. Not only can it be tedious, but most times, many of us are clueless on where to even begin.
  It’s not always a topic we’d like to talk or read about, however, as another year dawns upon us and more teenagers transform into adults, now's a good a time as any.BudgetingA tale as old as time itself, the best way to manage your cash is to set up a budget for yourself. Becoming an adult means complete freedom over your finances. It can be a very exciting time, however, if unwise, it can also become a very careless time.
  Disciplining yourself to not overspend, as well as setting up savings for rainy days, is no walk in the park. Nevertheless, it is necessary. The key? Understanding that life in general, is more so about needs, rather than wants. This isn’t to say you’re unallowed to live a little, because by all means, if you’re not pampering yourself, then what is the point, really? But what we’re talking about is being smart, amidst said pampering. #1 Spending habits
  Getting to the bottom of how you usually spend your cash is important. When you’ve listed/noted/tracked down how your money depletes, you can then start prioritizing on the things that should matter, first and foremost: bills, student loans, debts, taxes or any other paying commitments. #2 A goal
  Step number 2 which may come in handy, is setting a goal before you get your monthly, salary if you will. Deciding how much you’d like to save for the future, can help remind you how much you should allow yourself to spend each month. It is a clear-cut aim, which as humans, we often tend to push ourselves, into achieving. #3 Planned-purchases
  Besides setting a goal for how much you want to save, you can also take it a step further, by understanding the big purchases you’d like to make, as you age. It could be a car, it could be a home, it could be travelling the world, but the point is to understand your goals in life. This will help garner motivation so that you actually take much-needed steps, in order to reach them. #4 Additional account
  Saving money is not for the faint of heart. This world has blessed us with so much and most times, we’re only frail human beings who cannot seem to resist temptation. During times like these, an additional savings account can definitely help. Aside from setting aside some money for the future, life can become easier with a separate account altogether. This way, we would think twice, before we touch money we know we’re not suppose to, for things which we know we don’t really need. Long-term Wealth
  Besides focusing on the money we have now, another rather prominent aspect to growing up, is to think about the money we could possibly have. Living in the now is splendid, but ultimately, humans have this thing about wanting to hold onto as much control as possible, for a future we technically have no control over whatsoever. It can be taxing, but this has, without a doubt, proven to eventually help a little ways down the road.  #1 Insurance
  We think it’s pretty evident now that the only thing people like more than money, is more money. The good news? Getting insured gets you there, one way or another. Insurance can be pretty pricy stuff, but when all is said and done, paying for it on a monthly basis, whether it may be one for health, vehicle, life or disability, can in due course, help a person in the long run. #2 Investing
  On top of insurance, another way to build long-term wealth is by investing. Making an investment means allocating money on a particular something, with the hopes of getting more money/profit from that something, in the future. With this, one would be able to grow money in time. Of course, the guide to managing money after leaving the nest, is one which is long and comprehensive to say in the least. But we've all got to start somewhere, and these easy steps is a good way to go about it.

Lionel Messi Leads Argentina's Dressing Room Party – Dances With The Trophy & A $10m Cheque

Lionel Messi led Argentina's World Cup celebrations with the Player of the Tournament seen dancing on top of a table in the changing rooms - in footage recorded by Sergio Aguero.The 35-year-old led his side to World Cup glory after an incredible final where Argentina defeated France on penalties.The World Cup was the one trophy deserting Messi's collection and it appears the PSG forward could not be happier to add it to his haul.After getting on the table, Messi was joined by his teammate Lautaro Martinez who jumped up to dance with the World Cup trophy. The former Barcelona star then partied with the $10m cheque Argentina were given after winning the final.The chanting went quiet whilst Messi was being presented with the cheque but when it was handed over to Argentina's No. 10 normal service resumed and the champions chants started back up again.After Messi finished dancing on tables and with cheques, the celebrations became slightly more unorthodox.It was a brilliant World Cup final and one of the Argentina staff members decided there was no better way to celebrate than somersaulting into a bin. Buoyed on by their colleagues as if they were doing the long jump at the Olympics, this member of staff launched himself into the bin headfirst.They got a fair bit of height on the jump and dived straight into the bin with perfect form.After getting out of the bin the now-gymnast was greeted to plenty of cheers and plenty of alcohol as they made their way up from the floor.

Malaysian KOL Insults A.R. Rahman Concert By Calling It "K*Ling"

AR Rahman's concert was what everyone was talking about during the weekend, and Malaysians have been gushing about it ever since it took place yesterday night.Dato Siti Nurhaliza (@ctdk) has undoubtedly captivated the crowd with her stage presence, voice, and ability to sing in Tamil when she dominated the song "Munbe Vaa."However, an influencer who went to the concert uploaded a story of her on Instagram with the remark "Pening dengar lagu k*ling."In the video, it's seen that she was seated in the VIP section of the concert when she posted her IG story.

Since then, Malaysians have gone berserk and called her out for her inappropriate behavior and use of language that denigrated the community.Video creator, @suriya_17 brought this to everyone's attention and posted on his Instagram with the caption, "Taking a minute to make sure y'all don't do anything stupid like her. If you don't like a language, remember that no one forced you to listen. The nerves you had to use the word KELING, god! Please remember that we're at peace and don't use words that shouldn't be used especially when you claim yourself as a public figure and you have a big followers list. Spread loving messages, not insulting ones. Thank you and have a nice day. @fatinamyralee."The fact that there are people who freely discuss this without any concern is definitely something to be offended about. Malaysians have worked hard to create a more accepting community where we respect everyone's ethnicity and religion.Since then, her video has gone viral; as a result, she privatized her Instagram account.Malaysians, let's be more polite and consider of other people's cultures, yeah?


Man Fired For Taking 3-6 Hours Toilet Break Due To Post-Surgery

A man who underwent surgery for an anal disease in 2014 was fired from his job for spending almost 3-6 hours a day in the toilet. However, he was not satisfied with the decision and filed for arbitration, seeking reinstatement.According to reports, the man surnamed Wang started working for the company in April 2006 and underwent surgery for an anal disease in December 2014. His wound healed around January 2015, but he claimed to have continued experiencing pain and had to use the restroom for 3-6 hours daily starting from July 2015.In September 2015, the man's company communicated with him and, after obtaining written consent from the company's labor union, issued a dismissal notice as a disciplinary action.In October 2015, the man filed for arbitration, demanding that the company fulfill their indefinite labor contract and reinstate him in the agreed position. After hearing the case, the arbitration commission ruled that the company's action constituted illegal dismissal and ordered both parties to continue the labor contract. However, the company disagreed with the ruling and continued to pursue litigation.After going through first-instance, second-instance, and high court retrials, the court ruled that the man's behaviour exceeded the scope of normal physiological needs, and therefore, the company's dismissal was deemed legal. This incident has sparked discussions among netizens, with many believing that the man deserved to be fired."What kind of work can he do? In the end, he only brings trouble to his colleagues." If the man's condition is indeed true, it seems he is not suitable to continue working, right? But do normal people really spend 6 hours in the restroom?


These 6 Lines Are NOT Apologies

'I'm sorry'. It takes a lot of a person to apologize don't you think? It is literally two words, it can solve some of the biggest problems of the world, and yet, many just cannot seem to bring themselves to it. But don't be mistaken though, people who are too egoistic to say they are sorry, are NOT the worse kind of people. Surprised? Let us explain.
  The worse kind of people, are those who say they are sorry, without actually saying they are sorry. As a matter of fact, when you look closely, it is merely an apology in disguise, if you will.Have you ever experienced it? Check and see. #1 "I'm sorry, but..."
  I'm sorry, but I'm sorry followed by a but, is not an apology. It is an attempt of a person trying to justify their actions, instead of genuinely apologizing for them. #2 "It is not my fault you see it that way"
  A person is entitled to their feelings. So if someone tells you they are not okay, or they are hurt, you accept, you understand and you apologize. Piece of cake, really. #3 "I don't know why you're making this a big deal"
  Again, not an apology. If something feels monumental to you, no one else can say otherwise. It is you who is feeling what you're feeling, and it is valid, even if someone else isn't okay with that. #4 "You know how much I love you"
  Um, okay, but that doesn't translate to an 'I'm sorry'. Just because someone loves you, that doesn't mean they do not have to acknowledge, and respect your feelings of hurt. Love doesn't heal wounds or erase mistakes. #5 "Can we just forget it?"
  "No, no we cannot. I mean, if we could just forget it, then I wouldn't have brought it up right?". Don't let them brush your feelings and thoughts aside, just because they've got no balls to own up to their shit. #6 "I'm sorry that you feel that way"
  A person doesn't need to be sorry that you felt a certain way. People can't control feelings, they are involuntary, and it is not your fault. Don't let them make it seem like it is. At the end of the day, "I'm sorry", is as clear as day, a standalone. There shouldn't be anything else that follows thereafter, except for remorse and actual change.
  So, when someone says to you either of these 6 lines, or any other line that shifts blame from them to you, no. Just no. Find post here.


How to provide enough nutrients to the plants without using chemical fertilisers?Use Natural Way to Provide Nutrients to Your Plant

As we know, the use of chemical pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides are bad for the environment! However, how could we take care of the environment while maintaining the plants health also? Actually, many of the natural ways could help us control the health of plants easily and make home gardening more safe for human health and eco-friendly!
CompostUsing Osmocote (a kind of slow releasing chemical fertiliser) is the common way for maintaining the health of a potted house plant! However, it is a synthetic fertiliser and not good for the environment if the extra nutrients have leached and cause nutrient pollution. We actually have a better alternative choice, we may use compost instead of synthetic chemical fertilizers. Compost is lower in nutrients but it is enough for the normal growth of the plants. Besides that, compost could improve the aeration of soil, increase the beneficial microorganism within the soil and establish healthy plant roots. Feeding of chemical fertilizers is like feeding vitamins to humans, you rely on the supplements once you stop it the plants could not grow healthily anymore. But application of compost, like having balanced nutrients and exercise regularly. The overall health condition of the plants could be improved and maintained naturally. Moreover, compost is low in nutrients and the chances for nutrient leaching and nutrient pollution will be lessened.
  Organic and Natural FertilizerBesides the compost, using certain organic fertilizers could achieve the same effects as the chemical fertiliser and be more eco-friendly! For example using fish meal could provide high content of nitrogen to the plants and make the leaves grow bigger and greener! Rock phosphate, the natural minerals, could provide phosphorus for the plants to make the roots of plants grow better! And Epsom salt could provide potassium and magnesium to the plants and make the fruit of plants and leaves grow better . Seaweeds extracts could provide various types of nutrients to the plants. All the mentioned items are biodegradable, not toxin to the animals if leached to the environments and slightly have chances to cause nutrients pollution unless you over-apply!
 Bio-FertiliserBio-fertiliser is an alternative choice other than the chemical fertiliser. Bio-fertiliser is a kind of fertiliser that makes use of the inoculate natural fungi from the healthy soil and manufactured as commercial products for the convenience of the user to apply to the plants! Application of the bio-fertiliser such as mycorrhizae could improve the nutrient absorption of the plants! Besides mycorrhizae, PSB (Phosphate solubilizing bacteria) could be used to transform the immobile phosphate in the soil to soluble phosphorus for absorption of the plants. All the mentioned fertilizers are organic and may not cause destruction to the environment while providing enough plant nutrients!

  We always talk and worry about the issues of climate change, environment pollution, floods and assorted natural disasters caused by destruction of environments! It is actually the responsibility of all of us to minimize the impact of environmental pollution caused by human activities! What we do and what we buy will have an impact on our environment! Even if we are not the policy makers, we cannot stop the pollution from continuing to happen! However, every step counted, everybody taking a little step could form a great leap in reducing the pollution of environments! Do not turn eco-friendly activities like gardening into a bad activity that pollutes the environment!


Man Dedicated To Feeding Stray Dogs, Wins Hearts Of M'sians

We've heard stories about how the general public regularly mistreats and abuses stray dogs. As a result, various pet shelters assist in any way they can, including feeding them.They not only do not have a home but they are regularly seen wandering around asking for food and demanding human kindness.What distinguishes Malaysia is the kindness of its people, regardless of colour. Malay friends are not supposed to own dogs as pets, but they can surely protect them.Faiz, who is originally from Langkawi, is known as CEO Anjing, a moniker derived from his courageous passion and commitment to not letting stray dogs go hungry.
He added that he could only afford to feed them kibbles at first, but now that he's in a lot more stable situation, he's able to indulge them with tasty food like pizza and KFC just to make sure they're happy because they deserve it.In his videos, you can also notice how obedient the dogs are to him, as he has formed a strong relationship with them over the years.Some may argue that pizzas are unhealthy for dogs since they might aggravate pre-existing diseases, but Faiz is aware of this, which is why the pizzas he feeds the dogs only contain the crust and chicken.Faiz further stated that dogs are God's creation and that people should not despise them. For example, you can feed a dog for three days and be confident that it will remember you for the following three years. That is not the case with people; even if you help them for three years, they will not remember you for the rest of their lives.Thank you for being kind to our canine buddies!

WATCH: Woman Confronts Man For Burning 'Ah Long' Flyers In Neighborhood

Check out this viral video of a man confronting a woman who may be working for an "ah long" or unlicensed loan shark company. The incident happened after the man was seen burning leaflets that had been attached to motorbikes parked in the flat's parking lot.The two-minute video shows the woman expressing her disappointment with the man's actions of burning the flyers that she had been distributing. "I want to ask you, sir, is it right to collect these flyers without telling us and then burn them?" she asks. However, the man responds by saying that he had every right to burn them since such service advertisements are illegal.steady bang dah la buat keja celaka, takde lesen, naik kepala pulak. kutip bakar lagi bang. Perempuan tu bagi ayat pusing pusing pun kalah dengan abang tu. Kemenangan bagi pihak lelaki pic.twitter.com/H0qDr7W8sT— MALAYSIA MOST VIRAL (@MALAYSIAVIRALLL) May 9, 2023  "Of course, I burned them. Why do you think we don't have money? If you take loans from ah longs, you'll only trouble others tomorrow," the man can be heard saying in the two-minute and 18-second video.After some time, the woman eventually gives in and leaves the scene, and the argument comes to a close. The location of the incident is still unknown, but it is believed to have taken place in the northern region of the country based on their dialect.It's not uncommon for Malaysians to borrow money from "ah longs" as a last resort, but this often ends up trapping them in debt and negatively affecting their families. Kudos to the man for taking a stand against the unlicensed loan sharks who were soliciting business in his neighbourhood by putting an end to these illegal practices.

M'sian Housewife Rants On TikTok For Not Being Allowed To Open A Bank Account Due To Profession

Based on TikTok, a housewife and woman Farhanah recently shared her disappointment in failing to open a bank account for herself due to the fact that she was a housewife. In her video, she claimed that the bank staff initially told her she could open an account, but would need to bring necessary documents like her husband's payslip, a telephone bill or any phone-related documents to verify her phone number.
  However, after bringing the documents the next day, and waiting for 2 hours, the bank told her that she couldn't open an account because she was a housewife without an income. She shared her story and many other netizens related to her as they explained their similar experiences in the comments.   @farhanah_said   original sound - Ana_Nokcili   Due to scam syndicates, banks have become very cautious and instructed strict policies. According to sources, should you find yourself with difficulty opening a bank account, the matter can be taken up with Bank Negara Malaysia. But, approving applications involve extensive background checks to prevent money laundering activities.


#GoodyEats: It’s Taco Time at Lebuh Carnarvon, Penang.

Dear Penangites, if you’re craving for tacos, you don’t have to “langgar SOP” and risk getting the RM10 000 saman. All you have to do, is visit the mysterious Mr. Flacko, a guy who has what you need and can get it to you fast.
  Mr. Flacko is a fast-food joint in Penang that serves Mexican Food! They have tacos, they have nachos, they have burritos, they have quesadillas.
  You name it, they’ve got it.+ The Beginning It all started with a mural.
  Mr. Chan, the owner of Mr. Flacko ventured into the F&B industry after painting an enormous two-storey mural at Prangin Lane in Georgetown Penang, and acquiring the lot next to it for a reasonable price. He started his adventure into the F&B world with a partner and opened a café selling desserts but after a while, he decided that it was time for change. After doing some research, he identified that Mexican food is quite similar to Asian food especially since both Mexican and Asian food have rice and well-seasoned, flavourful meat, which means, it could possibly be well-accepted in Malaysia. And boy, oh boy, was he right. After changing the menu and rebranding the café to Mr. Flacko, there were crowds and crowds of people swarming his café. It was a hit. Then came COVID-19 and the whole MCO. Mr. Chan decided that the best way for customers to still enjoy his tasty food while following the SOPs and keeping them safe was to transition into a fast-food joint. This way, his loyal customers could easily drop by and tapau some Mexican food and go. Safer, faster, and easier.
  + FoodHere’s some of the food that we tried and would 100% recommend:The Flacko Special are two soft shell tacos filled with deliciously spicy chicken, cheese, fresh salad and of course, salsa.
  The Double Supreme. A combination of both the soft and hard shell to give you an extra crunch of yumminess when biting into this tasty taco filled with mildly spicy chicken, cheese, salad, and salsa.
  The Burritos are jam packed with flavoursome ingredients like rice, chicken, salsa, cheese, and salad, that will definitely fill your tummy.
  They have the best Quesadillas! It is absolutely yummy with the flavours of the cheese, chicken and salsa.
  Last but definitely not least are the Nachos! Crunchy corn tortillas topped with chicken, cheese, and salsa.

  The food is served with a drink of your choice. They have 5 different soft drinks you can choose from and we recommend the passion fruit drink. + #OOTD SpotThe vibrant, orange-coloured walls with cute doodles makes the whole place an #ootd spot.

  But, if you go to the back of the restaurant, where there are high stools and a white brick wall, you can definitely strike a powerful sitting down pose and get a cute and quick #OOTD snap for the gram.
  + Future Plans for Mr. FlackoMr. Chan is a visionary. In the future, he sees Mr. Flacko not only as a Mexican fast-food chain with outlets all over Malaysia but also all over the world.So, stay tuned and keep your eyes peeled for Mr. Flacko.

Upgrading your quality of life online and on the go

Smartphones, wearables, and portable devices have become ubiquitous in the current world, their importance made more apparent as social distancing initiatives become commonplace worldwide, due to the global pandemic. However, this technological advantage has both upsides and downsides. While they provide us with extraordinary amounts of information and 24/7 connectivity, it is also these same qualities that can impact our lives negatively if left unbalanced and unmanaged. For those constantly spending time online and on-the-move, it can be difficult to maintain a sense of balance both offline and online. The constant connectivity – whether to our devices, the Internet, or to social media – means that our personal and professional lives intertwine more deeply than ever before. With so much work, education, entertainment, and socialisation taking place online, it can be difficult to keep track of plans and activities happening simultaneously. In fact, it can be overwhelming and downright stressful. As such, it is important to use technology meaningfully and ensure we take control of our online activities and lives, instead of being hampered by its constant presence.
  Decreasing Stress through Sorting and OrganisationWe’ve all felt it – the anxiety and closing-in feeling when there’s a laundry list of things to do, but only a limited time and capacity to complete them. The not-so-secret secret solution to combating this sensation is in getting organised. Whether online or offline, clutter and chaos can impact your mental health. It is important to recognise the effect of organisation, especially if this organisation extends to multiple areas of your life; this can help reduce stress levels long term by requiring less last-minute scrambling in a variety of everyday situations. Furthermore, it can also be empowering, as it helps you experience new situations as “exciting” instead of “stressful”. How then does one get organised? A simple way to do so is to keep tabs of your to-do list and day’s priorities. Plan and access your calendars, reminders, and notes from your smartphone and plan your day around your activities to stay one step ahead. To ease this process, your smartphone can be your personal digital assistant. For those with a Samsung device equipped with an S Pen, you even have a whole disposal of stationery and tools for all your notetaking needs to boost productivity. With access to a range of colours and thickness through a variety of pencils, pens, highlighters, and even a convenient eraser, the S Pen is great for any notetaking purposes, allowing you to organise and sort through your files for easy sharing. However you do so, a little organisation goes a long way; even sorting your apps on your device’s homepage can help provide screen clarity and reduce stress.
  Ensuring Convenience and Peace of Mind with PracticalityGiven our current reliance on our smartphone, it is significantly more important today than a decade ago to have a reliable device that survives the day without needing to be plugged in. Meetings, conversations, and crucial moments may be missed if our smartphone’s battery dies and having to charge it whether via outlet or a portable power bank can be troublesome and unnecessary. That’s why having a smartphone with a larger-than-average battery capacity – like the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra, with its 4500mAh battery to ensure you have a full day’s use of your smartphone without needing to worry about missing important moments. Now, knowing you have a device that will last with you as you go about your day, other quality of life habits to pick up that can ease stress and help you better manage your day can be considered. Staying practical can be helpful. For example, synchronising your files and documents across all your devices by using a cloud service like Samsung Cloud can help you stay connected with all the necessities while having the freedom and convenience to access them from other devices. Similarly, you can seamlessly synch your written notes with the Notes Live Sync so you can access your notes without a worry. When a connection is limited, saving files to your phone can also be beneficial and timesaving. However, if you’re a consistent smartphone user and traveller, local memory and storage may already be full. That’s why when shopping for a new phone, selecting one with expandable memory – to refer to the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra again – can not only expand your smartphone library, but also provide you with the freedom to discover and create more without worry or storage hindrance when you’re out and about and on the go.
  Equipping Yourself with the Right Accessories When you’re out for the day, the gear and accessories you carry with you become more relevant, as they can help cover your needs for you to have a productive, effective day. As such, it is natural to want to travel light and reduce the weight and clutter of carrying too many items. Keep your on-the-go kit simple and easy to pack. You could bring along Galaxy Buds Live that give you the freedom of music and handsfree communication without the mess of wires, or pick up a protective standing cover for your phone that both protects your device and allow you to kick back while watching a video hand-free. Furthermore, you can put to practice safe habits by keeping your smartphone clean with a UV Sterilizer, which can help kill harmful germs and bacteria that gather on the surface on your devices. If you find yourself needing to also work on the go more often than not, it also pays off to bring along a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse so you can work on-the-go on your smartphone.

Malaysian Girl Tried Traditional Rice Flour Mask | The Result is Amazing!

It is undeniable that the ability to show the prettiest side of ourselves to others makes us more confident. Imagine walking among all the flawless-skin girls with a face full of pimples or blackheads, most of us would feel insecure. This is why, it is almost impossible to separate a woman from the desire to look beautiful, clean and attractive. She would spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on skincare or beauty products just to look good.Unfortunately, not every product guarantees healthy and radiant skin, even though they cost a lot. Some of them would even worsen your skin condition, just like this girl, who prefers to go by the name Jiha on Twitter.According to her Tweets, she has tried many different beauty products just to get smooth skin, but none of them work well for her. After numerous trying and failing, she decided to give up on these products and try the traditional way. She started to apply a rice flour mask and the result was surprisingly amazing! Her skin did turn flawless in just less than 3 months!Eager to know how she made that happen? Here is how!1. Mix 1 tablespoon of rice flour and water with a proportion of 1:1 until it becomes a thick sticky paste.2. Apply the paste on your face.3. Wash it off when it dried.She also mentioned that you can leave the mask on your face for the whole night, but the cleaning would be quite troublesome as the hardened mask might come off or enter your eyes. Jiha also encouraged people to apply the mask as often as possible. “Dullness and redness will disappear. And most importantly, your face will be like a baby’s butt,” she tweeted.What we learned from Jiha’s story is that not every expensive beauty product worth its price. So, instead of spending your money on countless products that might or might not work (who knows), why not give this tested and proven method a try? After all, it is really cheap.

Why Inserting Greenery in our Living Spaces is Beneficial? Make use of the Benefits of Plants Releasing Phytoncide to Improve Our Quality of Life.

The living space is where we work, rest and communicate with others and we spend most of our time here. However, not all of us have noticed the importance of the quality of living space! It includes the cleanliness of the spaces, the basic necessities and also the freshness of the air. But usually we only noticed the physical items like the quality of furniture, electrical appliances and decoration. We forgot that air quality is as important as physical comfortability. We ignore the bad quality of work space that might cause sick building syndrome that affects our health. We also ignore the air pollutants (organic volatile pollutants) which are released from the vehicles, motor, cosmetics, cleaning materials occupied in the air of our living spaces. We ignored the unhealthy air quality and allowed ourselves to live within it without any consciousness. Actually, we may solve the problem easily by inserting some indoor plants into our living spaces.
  Improve Air QualityFirst we have to understand the reason for placing indoor plants in the house? How could indoor plants play a role in improving our quality of air? And this is related to the ability of plants in producing phytoncide. Phytoncide is an organic volatile compound which is emitted by plants naturally to protect itself from attack by pests and diseases. Phytoncide release antiviral and antibacterial agents to protect the plants health and it is useful for protecting humans too. The function of phytoncide in fighting against the air borne virus and bacteria could purify the air. And indirectly reduce the chances we fall sick because of inhaling harmful pollutants in the air. It could reduce the sick building syndrome which is caused by bad air ventilation in the building.

  Improve HealthPhytoncide is scientifically proven to be good for physical and mental health. It has been proven to help in lowering blood pressure, reduce anxiety, confusion, enhance the immune system and help with sleep. If we live under pressure and anxiety will weaken our immune system too. Phytoncide may increase the activity of the natural killer cells in the body. It helps the body fight against cancer and disease more effectively and enhances our immune system. Scientifically proven, the living spaces occupied with plants could reduce the cardiovascular response to reduce the high blood pressure and stress. Another research also proved that working spaces with living plants could reduce the frequency of the workers taking sick leaves. Therefore, we may conclude that placing indoor plants could improve the overall health condition.

  Improve Learning & CreativityPhytoncide could improve sleep quality while it could improve our performance in focusing on the next day. Besides that, the phytoncide could improve the parasympathetic nervous system, which could help us to keep calming. Therefore, by improving the ability of focusing and keeping calm may improve in learning and creativity. Besides that, improved performance in focusing could help to increase the work efficiency too. The workers who work in the office occupied by the living plants have higher efficiency compared to the office without living plants.

  Phytoncide is an amazing natural produced substance, which may help us improve our quality of life. As a busy person, we may not always have chances for forest baths but we may bring the indoor plants to our house and create small greenery spaces ourselves. Besides that, keeping the air circulating at home is as important as inserting the greenery plant at home. Always open the window to encourage the air flow within the house. Only we could achieve good ventilation at home and placing more green plants at home could keep the air fresh. Only if we are healthy physically and mentally enable us to lead a high quality life.
