You’re Not A Real Hallyu Wave Fan Unless You’ve Had These Thoughts About Going To Jeju-do

If you love anything and everything Korean, you've definitely fantasised about going on that perfect Hallyu wave themed holiday

Image via 100 Ways To Write (Wordpress)

You probably think that going to Seoul is the only way that you'll be able to make all your dreams come true but we're here to tell you that that's so not the case!Here's how going to Jeju Island can make sure you check off every single element on your ideal Hallyu-cation wishlist:P.S: If you're not one of us and have never heard of the term 'Hallyu wave' before, it refers to how Korean entertainment and culture has become increasingly popular all over the world.

1. "OMG maybe I'll bump into my bias hehe!" ;)

You know what? You just might! Many of your favourite K-pop stars actually hail from Jeju Island and try to make trips there as often as they can. Including but not limited to:

We're in no way condoning or suggesting that you should stalk them and make a nuisance of yourself (don't be a sasaeng fan lah okay?). But if luck is on your side, you may very well just get to meet some of them IRL. And if not, hey at least you'll be able to say that you've been to their hometown.

2. "I must see where (insert your favourite K-drama or K-pop MV here) was filmed with my own eyes."

With its picturesque and breath-taking natural beauty, it's no wonder that Jeju Island has played host to many a on-location shoot for world famous K-dramas and K-pop music videos.

'Secret Garden', 'Boys Over Flowers' and 'Princess Hours' are just some of the top-rated K-dramas that have been filmed at The Seaes Hotel & Resort.It has become such a popular stop for K-drama fans that they've put up dedication photo collages of each drama in the lobby. There are also screenshots of specific scenes at the exact place they were shot so you'll be left with no doubt of its authenticity.Location: 2563-1 Jungmun-dong, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do.

Dae Jang Geum/Jewel In The Palace is the OG crazy popular K-drama that only true fans have fond memories of watching way back in the day when no one really bothered about Asian TV shows. The torture of not having anyone to share the obsession with was too real!You can relive all your feels on Jeju Island where some pretty significant scenes were filmed such as at Seongeup Folk Village where Jang-Geum studied and honed her skills in the field of medicine. Other filming locations that double up as popular tourist haunts include Oedolgae Rock, Jinjigul Cave, Hyeopjae Beach and Seongeup-ri Ranch.

So what do Big Bang's 'We Like 2 Party', f(x)'s '4 Walls' and Zico ft. Babylon's 'Boys and Girls' have in common? Yep, you guessed it, they were all filmed at various locations around Jeju Island.Imagine how cool it would be to listen to the songs while you're physically standing in the very places they took place! Time to re-watch those MVs like crazy and see if you can figure out where they are. #challengeaccepted

3. "Haiyo there's so much I wanna do, not enough time la..."

You can kill a few birds with one stone by spending the day at the internationally renowned KCON convention. For the first time ever last year, it was held in Korea and Jeju Island was chosen as the host region. Though most know it as an annual K-pop convention, in reality it's more than just that. Besides live performances from popular K-pop groups (Block B, SHINHWA and MAMAMOO just to name a few!), the convention also features cultural activities such as K-dance classes, K-food tasting, K-beauty tutorial sessions, and special Jeju cultural experiences. It's like a one stop shop for everything Korean! If you weren't already a Korean expert, you'll totally leave as one.

Does "so much food, so little time" sound like a familiar dilemma? Especially in Korea where all the food is just so yums! Well then, keep your fingers crossed that the KOREAT Food Festival will be held again this year because that's where you'll be able to eat all kinds of different types of Korean food.The 'Top 50' ranked restaurants of the year all operated their own food trucks where some of the best chefs in the country cooked their highly acclaimed dishes, leaving the public in awe at just how amazing Korean food can be.

4. "Jeju really has the best K-BBQ of all time meh?"

Image via Passport Chop

You know that one place you always go to for K-BBQ because it's the best you've ever had? You're gonna forget all about it once you get a taste of Heukdwaeji (Jeju black pork BBQ). When even Koreans tout it as the best K-BBQ in the world and are willing to travel for it, you know it's serious business. Apparently it's the particular breed of pig used that makes it so good because its meat is more juicy and tender plus its skin has a rich, non-oily taste. It's so flavorful that it's usually cooked and served without any prior marinating, just some light seasoning and the usual K-BBQ style dipping sauces.

5. "EAT. ALL. THE. SEAFOOOOOODD!"

If you're a seafood fan then Jeju Island will be your ultimate paradise with its bountiful supply of fresh seafood courtesy of the haenyeos (female diver). A profession unique to Jeju, these women who average at around 60 years old, dive up to 20m below sea level without any breathing equipment to catch various types of seafood.These are loads of ways to enjoy these gems of the sea:

Jeonbok-dolsotbap (abalone hot stone pot rice): Abalone innards are fried together with rice inside a hot stone pot before being topped with sweet pumpkin, jujube and thick slices of abalone. To properly enjoy it in all its glory, you should first scoop the rice out of the pot to eat separately. Then, pour some hot water into the bowl and cover it. Let the leftover rice stuck at the bottom infuse into the water and form nurungji (scorched rice) to be eaten at the end of your meal.

Seafood ramen: A particular roadside stall is the only place you'll be able to grab a bowl of this particular type of seafood ramen. What sets it apart from regular old instant ramen is its rich, milky seafood broth. The people who run the stall actually fish for the seafood themselves so you'll get different varieties of seafood in your ramen depending on their catch-of-the-day.Location: 2530 Aewol-ri, Aewol-eup (24 Aewollo 1-gil).

But the best way to truly enjoy just how scrumptious Jeju Island's freshly caught seafood can be, eat it raw! Nothing even comes close to how sweet and succulent they can be.

6. "How come Koreans always go to Jeju for their wedding photoshoot/honeymoon ah?"

Because it's pretttyyyy! Here are some ways you can fully appreciate how gorgeous Jeju Island can be, especially in autumn:

Hop on the Forest Train at Ecoland Theme Park that will take you on a journey through Gotjawal forest. You'll set off from the Main Station and make stops at Eco Bridge Station, Lake Side Station, Picnic Garden Station, and Lavender, Green Tea & Rose Garden Station. There are trains every 8 to 12 minutes so feel free to hop on and off as you wish so that you can take your time enjoying what each station has to offer.Location: 1278-169, Beonyeong-ro, Jocheon-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju-do.

Every autumn, Jeju Island is transformed into a glittering, silvery wonderland when the grass changes colour with the new season. The sight of them swaying in Jeju's famed strong winds is said to be the trademark image of autumn in Jeju.Find out more about this phenomenon and where the best places to view it are here.

7. "Ish, why all the concert tickets so expensive one?" :(

  A video posted by PLAY KPOP JEJU (@playkpopjeju) on Oct 16, 2015 at 2:55am PDT

This Woman Cut Out The Tattoo Of Her Ex-Boyfriend’s Name And Then Mailed The Skin To Him

THE IMAGES BELOW ARE GRAPHIC

They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned - and here's a woman who's taken that fury to a terrifying new level in all literal sense

When 26-year-old Torz Reynolds found out her boyfriend of two years had been cheating on her she took revenge, in the most gruesome way possible.

        huffingtonpost.com

Image via dailymail.co.uk

Miss Reynolds, from London, had thought Stuart 'Chopper' May broke up with her because he moved to Alaska to take a dream job. She even saw him off, tearfully, at the airport. But a week later Miss Reynold found out he had instead allegedly moved in with a woman he'd allegedly been having an affair with for six months.

        dailymail.co.uk

She decided she needed to remove her tattoo.  With a scalpel.  And then send the skin to him.

Image via dailymail.co.uk

Miss Reynolds was shocked when she discovered from friends that Chopper was still in the UK and had allegedly moved in with his new woman.

        gawker.com

It took her an hour and a half to carefully slicing the skin from her arm. She then used a pair of dissection tweezers to peel the skin back.

        huffingtonpost.com

Image via huffpost.com

Afterwards, the remnants of the tattoo were put in a jar, wrapped up with a bow and sent via recorded delivery to her former lover

Miss Reynolds even tracked it online so she knew for definite that Chopper, 24, had received it.

        dailymail.co.uk

Image via dailymail.co.uk

Miss Reynolds, originally from Colchester, Essex, said: 'I packaged it up so it really did look like a present. I even used different handwriting so he'd have no idea that it was me.

        metro.co.uk

'I can't imagine what his reaction was. I wish I could have been there to see it.'

'I don't like pain, but the skin coming off was actually quite relaxing. It was the after-pain that hurt the most. It felt like a nasty stinging sensation and putting on clothes was a difficult task,' said Miss Reynolds.

        dailymail.co.uk

Image via dailymail.co.uk

'I'd always planned to send the skin to Chopper. After I had posted it to him, I didn't receive a response from him. 'Removing the tattoo like that was definitely closure. I like to get over things quickly and I always delete someone completely out of my life.'

        huffingtonpost.com

"Posting the tattoo to Chopper sent a clear message," she told the Daily Star. "Now he knows never to mess with me again."

She posted an image of the bloody result to Facebook in December. When a friend called the act "crazy," she replied, "Crazy was getting his name tattooed in the first place. . . cutting it out was just necessary! ;-P"

        thecelebritycafe.com

She then conceded that she may end up getting someone else's name tattooed on her body, because "Its not lyk there permanent! Haha! [sic]"

A Bread Seller Accidently Walked Into A Photoshoot And Ended Up With A Modelling Contract

About a week ago, Nigerian photographer and singer/songwriter Ty Bello was doing a photoshoot with British musician Tinie Tempah when a woman selling bread happened to walk right into her shot:

  A photo posted by TY Bello (@tybello) on Jan 31, 2016 at 10:22am PST

After the shoot, Bello posted on her Instagram, writing:

Image via Ty Bello

However, at first, Bello hadn't given her a second thought:

"The moment didn't look special at all. If anything, she stood there a little confused. Some people asking her to leave the set and others asking her to stay. I signaled [to ask] if it was ok to take her photograph and she agreed, and I pressed on my shutter so she could move ahead. I was wrong to have paid her such little attention. Every frame with her in it was perfect," she wrote on Instagram.Looking through her photos after the shoot, the Nigerian artist found herself drawn to the figure of the local bread seller.So she decided to post about her on Instagram in order to get more information about the woman who had made Bello pull her focus from her main character.

Then on Thursday Bello revealed her quest to track down the bread seller was successful. She is 27-year-old Olajumoke Orisaguna.

    So I found her ...our beauty from the @tiniegram shoot and boy have I got a fantastic story to share with you all.  Right here is an amazing 27yr old mother of two , Jumoke Sunday with an incredible life story .I called on three amazing artists @bimpeonakoya  for beautiful makeup .. @zubbydefinition  for hair and @emaedosio  to make a short documentary about her .. Every one gave a yes !on the spot . They were all at the studio within an hour and we had the most amazing shoot with her. I've also spoken to a few people about the best way to help move her forward and reunite her with her family . ... The process has already begone and I'll figure out the best way to have anyone who wants to be part of the journey .Meeting and photographing her has inspired us all and we can't wait for the good that will come to her from all of this to unfold . She doesn't speak English well but here ,she was explaining how she found us . I had sent an assistant , as many of you advised ,to leave a message with the people in the area where we photographed her... So here she is .. #Olajumoke #tybellophotography #findingjumoke #thebeginning A video posted by TY Bello (@tybello) on Feb 3, 2016 at 7:00am PST

A few days later Bello shared her first shoot with Orisaguna, which featured on the cover of Nigerian magazine 'This Day Style'

  A photo posted by TY Bello (@tybello) on Feb 7, 2016 at 12:15am PST

She shared the images from the magazine spread on Instagram

    JUMOKE ORISAGUNA : PORTRAIT WITH GRACE  Grace is her 14 month old daughter and second child. #makeup by @bimpeonakoya  #hairby @zubbydefinition  shot with @phaseonephoto @profotoglobal  @chimeralighting  @digitaltransitions A photo posted by TY Bello (@tybello) on Feb 7, 2016 at 3:35am PST

  A photo posted by TY Bello (@tybello) on Feb 7, 2016 at 5:47am PST

She also shared more about Orisaguna's life:

"A hair stylist from Ire in Osun state but not making enough profit between her and her husband, a sliding door installer in from the same village, to care for their two young children.At the invitation of a distant relative who knew someone operating a bakery, she relocated to Lagos with her 14-month-old daughter to give bread hawking a try, leaving her husband and older 5-year-old behind.As I listened to her, I wondered if the beauty I had seen on my screen as I edited my image was a fluke, well until she smiled, I realized that I was wrong, I had, in fact, underestimated the beauty of this 27-year-old woman. As always, it was her eyes and of course, her perfectly chiseled features that jumped out at you when she chuckled. This lady belonged in front of my camera. After a conversation with her husband telling him the story of our meeting, I decided I was going to photograph her that very afternoon. Within an hour, Bimpe Onakoya, one of Nigeria’s leading makeup artist, and Zubby, one of my favourite hairstylists, were at my studio to work magic. They had both followed the story online and were more than happy to put in their very best for her.Olajumoke, with curly extensions out, revealed a short natural afro that beautifully hugged her face. @Bimpeonakoya also had decided to keep the makeup minimal. She stepped in front of my camera and I almost couldn’t recognize her. She moved differently too. Jumoke looked straight into my lens, emoting like she had done this all her life. I knew we had found a star."

Orisaguna, who is now signed to Few Model Management, is excited to get her career started as a model, wrote Bello

"Olajumoke is elated and trying to take it all in," she told HuffPost. "Today she just concluded on a two-day shoot with CNN international. She's really inspired so many people out here in Nigeria and apparently across the globe. It's all so surreal."

        huffingtonpost.com

Payudara, Transgender Dan Lagi Isu Panas Dalam Video "Terlajak Lucah" D'Herbs

Macam tak percaya iklan sebegini wujud di Malaysia. Sungguh lucah, erotik, dan penuh dengan adegan yang tak sesuai untuk tontonan awam. Anda dah tengok video terlajak lucah ini?

Iklan nak bagi tetek beso dari D'HERBS terlajak laris macam KimK. Dah serupa promo movie porn BangBros dah..Posted by MuahSetapak.com on Friday, December 4, 2015

Kenapa perlu ada elemen lucah dalam iklan?P/S: Sila tonton video untuk fahamkan keseluruhan kandungan artikel.

Beginilah reaksi kami selepas menonton video di atas. Tak sangka betul.

Rata-rata orang ramai tidak boleh menerima iklan ini yang langsung tidak peka terhadap sensitiviti masyarakat. Cemuhan demi cemuhan dilemparkan oleh netizen sejurus video tersebut menjadi viral.

Tak semena-mena, jenama D'herbs dan imej pengasasnya, Dato Aliff Syukri menerima persepsi negatif dan dikritik hebat

Meskipun begitu, terdapat ramai pihak yang tidak percaya bahawa video ini dihasilkan oleh krew produksi D'Herbs sendiri. Ada yang mendakwa mungkin ia dihasilkan dengan niat mahu menjatuhkan maruah Dato Aliff.

Image via MuahSetapak.com/Facebook

Mana satu yang betul ni?
Rupa-rupanya, video tersebut merupakan hasil dari salah seorang peserta dalam peraduan video parodi D'Herbs.

    kepada yg join contest perodi/iklan dherbs mohon jaga sensitiviti masyakat sy on behalf peserta yg joint contest memohon maaf.. A photo posted by abang terlajak laris (@aliffsyukriterlajaklaris) on Dec 5, 2015 at 3:54am PST

Walaupun langsung tidak terlibat, Dato Aliff Syukri memohon maaf dan meminta agar peserta lebih peka terhadap sensitiviti masyarakat.

Turut menjadi bualan hangat adalah watak si isteri yang dilihat terlalu asyik menayangkan aset payudara sambil menari ghairah. Adakah dia seorang transgender atau bapok atau pondan?

Image via MuahSetapak.com/Facebook

Image via MuahSetapak.com/Facebook

Bukan juga. Dia adalah seorang wanita tulen yang merupakan anak kepada pelakon wanita veteran, Normah Damanhuri. Dia sememangnya bukanlah seorang transgender seperti yang digembar-gemburkan.

Sejauh mana dakwaan ini benar? Anda boleh layari sendiri laman Instagram Normah Damanhuri dan Liana Rosli untuk dapatkan info lebih lanjut.

Cuma yang menjadi persoalan BESAR di sini: Macam mana lokasi rakaman video lucah ini boleh SAMA dengan satu video Dato Aliff Syukri sebelum ini?

Anda boleh lihat sendiri. Kedua-dua video menggunakan lokasi rakaman yang sama. Adakah ini satu kebetulan?

Singaporean actor and comedian Gurmit Singh was fined SGD800 (about RM2,490) for speeding on a Singaporean road

According to CNA, the court also banned Gurmit from driving for three months during the proceedings today, 8 June.The actor — best known for playing Phua Chu Kang in a popular sitcom in the late 1990s — pleaded guilty to his offence under Section 63(4) of the Road Traffic Act. The court heard that Gurmit was driving his vehicle along Woodlands Avenue 12 towards Seletar Expressway on 12 April, reported TODAYOnline. The offence took place at about 9.30pm.

The actor explained that he was driving to fetch his son from the workplace he was interning at before suddenly hearing a "flapping sound" from his vehicle

"I know I drove fast but I have a story to tell... I was driving to get my son from his internship workplace and I noticed a flapping sound from the car," he told District Judge Salina Ishak.After picking up his son, he said he wanted his son to hear the same sound the vehicle made, which he said only "comes out at 100km/h"."I'm not saying I should drive at that speed on that street but it was just a short spurt. I don't know how I clocked 131km/h. I'm not a reckless driver, it was just a one-off thing.""But again, I realise I should not be driving so fast at that stretch of road."The Straits Time reported that Gurmit's vehicle is believed to be an Audi A8 L, a luxury sedan that was recently released.Audi Singapore's official website states that the starting price of the vehicle is SGD483,449 (about RM1.5 million). It can accelerate from zero to 100km/h in about 5.7 seconds and has a top speed of 250km/h.

Although Gurmit had no prior conviction, the prosecutor urged the court to impose a driving ban on him

District Judge Salina Ishak told him that he could have put his son's life in danger, as well as his own."I understand, your honour. I regret doing what I did," CNA quoted Gurmit as saying.Gurmit appeared in court dressed in a grey shirt and blue disposable mask. He said his wife drove him to the hearing today.The 56-year-old actor recently made headlines after reprising his old role from the Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd series to make public service announcement (PSA) videos for the Singaporean government amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.He was a full-time Mediacorp artiste from 1994 to 2014 before announcing his retirement from acting in order to spend more time with his family, reported TODAYOnline.

It's quite thick but it wasn't dry, and was enough to fill my stomach without any other sides." — Sabrina"Love the honey glazed fried chicken thigh. It was suuuper juicy! Could not really appreciate the chicken floss on the burger. :') The Umami mashed potato pairs well though!" — May Vin"I loooove." — Laila"The taste is quite unique. The pineapple gave it extra juiciness and an added sweetness to the patty. They are very generous with the portion of the burger." — Irfan"I took out the pineapple slice but other than that I think the combination was perfect! The tangy sauce paired with the juicy fried chicken was yummy." — Imelda

"For someone who doesn't usually go for burgers… l like it a lot! The sauce was what kept me going back for more. It's sweet and tangy, which made the burger bright and appetising??? HAHAHAHAH plus, the chicken thigh was very big. Eat it immediately though, otherwise the chicken floss might get a bit soggy from the sauce." — Brenda"That tangy, juicy pineapple was gooddd hehe" — Jeremy

Election Commission (EC) deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar will retire tomorrow after serving the EC for 16 years.

        astroawani.com

EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Yusof, in a statement, said Wan Ahmad's compulsory retirement at 66 was in accordance with Article 114 (3) of the Federal Constitution.

Wan Ahmad was appointed deputy chairman on Dec 17, 2004. Before his appointment, he was the EC secretary for more than six years from May 20, 1998 until he retired from public service on Nov 28, 2004.
In his 16-year tenure with the EC, he has been involved in four general elections (1999, 2004, 2008 and 2013) and 42 by-elections.

        thestar.com.my

Bersih co-chairman Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan told the Malaysian Insider that the electoral body cannot be trusted to clean up the rolls.

        themalaysianinsider.com

"This is nothing new, they have been saying that they would clean up the electoral rolls for years and yet, we keep finding flaws. I don't believe them. They are just not doing a thorough job."

        themalaysianinsider.com

Ambiga called on the EC to work on a suggestion made during the ongoing Sabah Royal Commission of Inquiry to delete the current electoral roll and re-register voters.

        themalaysianinsider.com

The lawyer and former Bar Council chairman also challenged the EC to involve civil societies and representatives from every political party in the cleaning-up exercise to ensure there were no irregularities.

EC says they are cleaning up the voter lists and will issue regular reports

Stung by repeated criticisms over tainted electoral rolls, the Election Commission (EC) has formed an internal committee to clean up the voter lists with the first report to be released later this month.

EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar (pic) said the committee began work after the May 5 general elections and would ensure the rolls for the next elections would be reliable and free from controversy.

        malaysia-today.net

"It is the EC's main priority to review the electoral rolls which has been said to be problematic by certain quarters. EC officials from all states are working together to clean up the electoral rolls and the committee will issue a report this month and from time to time," Wan Ahmad said.

        themalaysianinsider.com

Electoral watchdog Bersih 2.0 and other civil groups have been asking for the rolls to be cleaned up since Election 2008, after allegations surfaced of phantom voters and foreigners in the lists based on identity cards issued by the National Registration Department.

The Election Commission (EC) will begin a review of the country's electoral boundaries by the end of this year, and has assured the public of “utmost transparency” in the exercise.

“This exercise will be conducted according to the utmost level of transparency before going to Parliament to be debated, so there is no question of us trying to conceal anything from the people,” EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said.

Responding to allegations that the EC would attempt to gerrymander the electoral boundaries to favour Barisan Nasional, Wan Ahmad said: “Many people are unaware of how the review is conducted and merely believe some political parties which accuse us of not doing our job in accordance with the law.”

He said the redelineation of electoral constituencies and boundaries would be carried out in accordance with Article 113 (2) (ii) of the Federal Constitution as the last exercise was done ten years ago

"The last exercise should have been conducted in 2011 as the latest one was done in 2003, but we had to postpone it until the 13th general was over.

        thestar.com.my

"The review and redelineation of the parliamentary and state constituencies has to be carried out as the constitution stipulates than the EC has to carry out the exercise once every eight years.

        malaysiandigest.com

He said the redelineation exercise was very important because the country had undergone many changes, including migration of people from city to city, over the last 10 years.

Kerana Status Badan Binasa, Wartawan Didakwa Kerana Sebar Berita Palsu & Cetus Panik Di FB

Wabak novel koronavirus atau dikenali sebagai virus Wuhan sememangnya mencetuskan kebimbangan terhadap masyarakat terutamanya apabila kes pertama wabak itu dilaporkan di Malaysia

Selain itu, terlalu banyak berita palsu yang tersebar di media sosial juga tidak membantu masyarakat untuk bertenang malah ia lebih memburukkan lagi keadaan. Dalam usaha menangani perkara tersebut, Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia (SKMM) dan Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) akan mengambil tindakan terhadap mereka yang menyebarkan berita palsu.

Terbaru, antara yang didakwa kerana menyebarkan berita palsu berkaitan wabak itu adalah seorang wartawan, Wan Noor Hayati Wan Alias, 41 tahun

Memetik laporan Malay Mail, dia menulis tiga status di laman Facebook peribadinya iaitu 'Ibu Yati' yang boleh mencetuskan panik di kalangan rakyat.

Memetik laporan Malaysia Kini, wanita itu mempunyai hak kebebasan bersuara bagi menyatakan kebimbangannya terhadap penularan virus itu. "Mengambil tindakan ke atas wartawan atau media dalam negara demokrasi seperti Malaysia kerana menyatakan pendapat akan dilihat langkah ke belakang di mata orang ramai, selain masyarakat antarabangsa."Sebagai wartawan Wan Noor Hayati berhak menyatakan kebimbangannya kepada orang ramai kerana kegelisahan sangat dirasakan dan kebanyakannya tidak dimaklumkan oleh kerajaan mengenai keadaan wabak koronavirus," kata setiausaha agungnya, Chin Sung Chew dalam satu kenyataan.

Untuk pengetahuan, sepanjang bergelar wartawan, Wan Noor Hayati telah mendapat pelbagai jenis pengiktirafan antaranya Anugerah Kajai 2014 dan Tokoh Wartawan Rakyat 2016

19-Year-Old Goes Blind After Years Of Only Consuming French Fries And Potato Chips

A teenager in the UK reportedly became blind after several years of only consuming French fries, Pringles potato chips, bread, and processed ham

The 19-year-old unnamed boy from Bristol, United Kingdom had to drop out of college due to his loss of sight. According to Daily Mail, the teenager was extremely picky with his food. The last time he ate any fruits or vegetables was a decade ago. The boy's height and weight, however, was normal.

The teenager began to lose his sight at the age of 14

He visited the hospital to seek treatment as he had been feeling tired and unwell. Doctors revealed that the boy was deficient in several essential vitamins namely, vitamin B12, copper, and vitamin D among others, as reported by CNN.The teenager, however, did not follow the doctor's treatment plan or improve his diet.

By the age of 17, the teenager progressively lost his sight and was registered blind

Further health checks and tests revealed that he was suffering from Nutritional Optic Neuropathy (NON), a condition in which there is damage to the optic nerve resulting in visual impairment. According to The Guardian, Dr Denize Atan shared that the teenager was getting enough calories in his diet, but not vitamins. "His diet was essentially a portion of chips from the local fish and chip shop every day. He also used to snack on crisps — Pringles — and sometimes slices of white bread and occasional slices of ham, and not really any fruit and vegetables," the doctor said as reported by Mothership."When the problems started he seemed, on the outside, like a healthy 14-year-old boy," the doctor added.

The boy was also diagnosed with avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder, an eating disorder that resulted in malnourishment

"Avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder is a relatively new diagnostic entity, but unlike anorexia nervosa, it is not driven by weight or shape concerns," Dr Atan said, adding that symptoms could consist of the lack of interest in food, heightened sensitivity to food textures, and fear of the consequences of eating."His family actually bought him the French fries because if he didn't eat them, then he wouldn't eat anything. They tried hard to introduce vegetables and fruit to his diet.""He is now registered blind and can only read the top letter on an optician chart. He also has a blind spot in the middle of his eyes," Dr Atan said. "It's the most serious case I've ever seen of blindness caused by junk food."

In other news, a teenager in China nearly died from an exceedingly high blood sugar level:

                A Teenager Nearly Died With Blood Sugar Level 20 Times Higher Than An Average Person

Daily consumption of bubble tea was one of the factors for his high blood sugar level.

This Restaurant In China Offers Discounts To Its Female Diners Based On Their Bra Sizes

A seafood restaurant in China has come up with a controversial way of offering discounts to its female customers depending on their bra sizes

Image via shanghaiist.com

Trendy Shrimp, which is located in a mall in the city of Hangzhou, advertised the unusual discount in a poster placed outside the restaurant, the Qianjing Evening Post reported.“The whole city is looking for BREASTS,” reads the poster, which features an accompanying image of animated female characters with varying breast sizes and a table showing how much of a price cut a woman would get based on her bra size.

Women with A-cups could receive a 5% discount on their bill while those with G-cups get 65% off

As expected, the sexist promotion was heavily criticised by the public. According to the BBC, many have slammed the promotion as "vulgar advertising" and "discriminatory towards women".

The poster was removed within a few days following the public backlash

However, Trendy Shrimp general manager Lan Shenggang defended their sales strategy."Once the promotion started, customer numbers rose by about 20%. Some of the girls we met were very proud - they had nothing to hide," he told BBC.The manager also said customers could redeem the discounts from female staff members - rather than male  - to “avoid embarrassment”.

These marketing ploys are not foreign to restaurants in China. Back in 2015, a restaurant in Henan made headlines for rewarding diners who were "good-looking".

The Korean restaurant uses a "Pay By Face" system where customers could get a free meal if they're deemed as good-looking.

Menurut sumber, warga emas, Azizah Baba, 65, berkata, pada Khamis lalu jam 12.38 pagi, dia terjaga dari tidur apabila mendengar ketukan kuat dari arah pintu belakang rumahnya.Jelasnya lagi, ketukan itu turut didengari suaminya berusia 70 tahun dan kemudian cuba meninjau dari tingkap di sebelah pintu namun tiada siapa."Sebelum kejadian mak cik dah terlena, tapi bila dengar ketukan kuat mak cik terjaga dan terkejut sebab terlalu kuat."Bunyi ketukan itu berulang kali selama 30 saat sebelum mak cik dengar rumah adik yang terletak bersebelahan rumah pula diketuk," katanya.Tambahnya, beberapa tahun lalu pernah juga berlaku kejadian seumpama itu namun ketukan misteri itu hanya muncul pada waktu Maghrib sahaja.

Mengigil ketakutan selepas dengar bunyi ketukan kuat sehingga terpaksa tidur di rumah jiran

Bagi Zaleha Jalil, 67, berkata, rumah jirannya yang merupakan ibu tunggal turut diganggu ketukan kuat itu sehinggakan wanita yang tinggal bersendirian itu takut dan menggigil lalu menumpang tidur di rumahnya."Dah empat malam Rewah (jiran) tinggal di rumah mak cik, kasihan dia sampai menggigil."Bila dengar banyak rumah yang diganggu ketukan misteri itu mak cik yang tinggal seorang diri pun rasa takut."Harap tiada lagi ketukan misteri itu dan penduduk kampung juga ada buat rondaan pada waktu malam, selepas kejadian itu," katanya.

On Valentine's Day, 14 February, Lee took to Instagram to share side-by-side photos of him and his wife, Datin Wong Mew Choo, playing badminton over the years.

Image via Instagram @leechongweiofficial

"There is a Chinese saying that goes, 'Love birds who love each other will tend to look more like each other as time passed (sic) by'. I did not believe [it] till I saw these photos," he wrote."We do have the same badminton 'pattern'. Of course, I don't want to look like her, she is far too beautiful for me."

The national hero shared that during their courtship, he would joke about needing to win international titles or she would never "accept his face"

"But deep down, I know she would love me even though I'm a nobody. After all, we started courtship when I was cleaning court in [Bukit Jalil Sports School]," he wrote, adding that his wife has become the most important person in his family's life."During my last fight with cancer, I told myself I don't want to die so early because I don't want her to cry for me," he shared.

The couple have been married since November 2012.

He ended his post by thanking her, "No one knows how much you suffered for me except for God and me. I thank you and I love you so much"

"Didn't You Go To University?" — Woman Says Customers Belittle Her For Working In Retail

Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Telegram for the latest stories and breaking news.

Working as a retail assistant is not easy, as the job requires a lot of physical strength and patience to deal with various types of customers

Twitter user @sofearozaidi_ recently shared how she was belittled by customers who came to shop at the store she works at.According to the user, her customers made fun of her five times in the past week alone, and it was all because of what she does for a living.She said some shoppers asked if she was working part-time in retail because she was awaiting her results before continuing her studies at a university."I told them that I am working full-time and I have finished my studies in university a long time ago and that I'm already old," she wrote."Most of them would reply, 'You went to university but in the end, you are working like this?'" she added.

Image via @sofearozaidi_ (Twitter)

Frustrated by the remarks, the user proceeded to ask netizens whether working in retail is such a horrible career choice

The woman also claimed that working in retail is not as bad as people make it seem, adding that retail workers get to go home without carrying back any work stress.She went on to say that employees also get to apply for annual leave easily and her leave applications have never been rejected."This society is so confusing. People choose to find a halal job that doesn't concern you yet you still downgrade them," she wrote."If everyone wants to be a doctor, then who will entertain people like you who go into a store and can't even use your eyes to find items?" she added.

Image via @sofearozaidi_ (Twitter)

Netizens sympathised with the woman and left supportive comments

One user praised the retail worker for her hard work and told her to keep fighting."Ignore some of the customers who don't have manners. They think that you can't develop skills while working in retail," they wrote.

Image via Twitter

Another commented that they respect retail workers as they have to sacrifice their holidays to work."The Society's mindset is the one to blame. May you continue to be healthy and happy to work," they wrote.

Image via Twitter

Meanwhile, one user, who has been working in retail for over 16 years, mentioned some of the benefits of working in the industry."We get off days on weekdays and it's way better than resting on weekends. You don't have to queue at the cinemas, or when you go to eat and drink coffee. You also don't have to get stuck in traffic jams," they wrote.

Image via Twitter

At the time of writing, the woman's tweet has garnered over 8,400 retweets and over 1.5 million views.

Hina ke kerja retail? Bulan ni je dah 5 orang customer perlekeh. Dorang tanya kerja part time ke, tunggu result Uni ke.

Stillborn Baby Left To Decay By Mother In Coin Locker For Several Years

A 49-year-old Japanese woman was arrested yesterday, 25 September, for leaving her stillborn child in a coin locker for several years

Kyodo News reported that the woman had turned herself in to a police station on Monday morning.Following that, Tokyo police discovered the baby's decaying body wrapped in a plastic bag and placed in a baggage locker near Uguisudani Station in Taito Ward on the same day.

Image via ANN News

The mother confessed to having left the baby's body in the locker for four to five years

Emiri Suzaki reportedly admitted that she had been paying storage fees for the past few years after she had given birth."I panicked after I did not give birth to a living child and kept the body as I could not dispose of it," Suzaki was quoted as saying by the police.She told investigators that over the years, she had moved the body to a different locker only once on 13 September.

The baby's remains were discovered in this locker on Monday, 24 September.

Suzaki claimed that she turned herself in to the police after accidentally leaving the locker key at a male acquaintance's home

She told the police that she got into an argument with the acquaintance and was kicked out of the home. However, she forgot to take the locker key along with her, reported The Japan Times.Afraid that the man might find the key, go to the locker, and discover the body, Suzaki decided to turn herself in instead.

Police believe that the baby's body was abandoned shortly after the mother gave birth and they are currently investigating the cause of death.


Husband Saves Wife From Attempted Rape By 21-Year-Old Neighbour Who Broke Into House

A 25-year-old woman was saved by her husband when their neighbour broke into the house and tried to rape her at Pongsu Seribu, Penang yesterday, 1 July

According to New Straits Times, the suspect is a 21-year-old man staying next door to the victim.The incident happened around 3pm when she was alone at home and heard the sound of footsteps on her roof.When she walked out of the room to inspect the source of the sound, a man suddenly appeared before her.

Seberang Perai Utara (SPU) district police chief ACP Noorzainy Mohd Noor said the suspect pulled her hands and forced her back into the room, before starting to hug her

"The victim tried to escape by taking a bottle of water and hitting the man's head. But it didn't shake the man off," Metro Harian reported Noorzainy as saying.The man proceeded to tear the victim's dress and attempted to rape her.

Image via Sinar Harian

At that moment, the victim's 32-year-old husband happened to return home, stopping the assault in the nick of time

"The victim's husband, who just returned from work, heard his wife's cries for help, and entered the house through the kitchen where he stumbled upon the suspect," revealed Noorzainy today, 2 July."The husband caught the man, but the latter hit him on the head with a piece of wood." "Seeing that the husband was injured, the suspect fled."

Initial investigation found that the suspect is believed to have entered the victim's house through an opening in the kitchen

The 21-year-old suspect was later arrested by the police in front of his house. The piece of wood used in the confrontation was also seized by the police.The urine test of the suspect showed that he was not under the influence of drugs during the assault. The case will be investigated under Section 455 and 354 of the Penal Code for housebreaking and assault or use of criminal force to any person with the intention to outrage modesty respectively.If convicted, the suspect can be imprisoned up to 14 years for the first offence, and 10 years for the second offence. Both offences are liable to a fine or whipping as well.


12 Most Relatable Things About Buying Insurance In Malaysia

1. In every family, there's always that one auntie who does insurance - and she probably pestered you to sign up with her

Image via JustKiddingFilms/Youtube (edited)

2. When your old friend, who you know is an insurance agent, randomly asks if you wanna "hang out"...

Image via Taringa (edited)

3. But there is a silver lining to look forward to: FREE FOOD

Image via Tumblr

You know they'll probably pick up the tab as a thank-you for listening to their surprise sales pitch. When the bill arrives you'll pretend to take out your wallet, of course, but both of you know you've got your heart set on that free meal.

4. When you eventually consider taking up a plan, and your agent starts drawing charts and rattling off numbers...

Image via Supernatural Snark

You honestly have no idea what's going on; you just nod your head and pray to God you can trust them.

5. "How much are you comfortable to set aside every month for a protection plan?"

Image via collaborativedreams.tumblr.com

They don't have to know the many, many dollars you spend on hipster coffee every month.

6. When you zone out halfway through the talk, and they suddenly ask you a question

Image via earplug8.wordpress.com

You have NO IDEA what you just agreed to.

7. There's something morbidly thrilling about hearing your agent tell you how much your insurance claim would be if you actually died

Image via WiffleGif

You'll be much too dead to enjoy the piles of money, of course, but it's nice to know you're leaving a neat sum of money for the people who need it when you leave this earth.

8. When you finally agree to sign up for a plan but you're not entirely sure what you're getting yourself into

Image via Disney

9. When you need to answer uncomfortably invasive questions in the sign-up form, like your actual weight *gasp*

Image via quickmeme.com

10. "Please describe your medical history."

Image via MTV (edited)

11. If you're being really honest, the biggest criteria that determines whether or not you sign up for an insurance plan depends on whether you'll get free umbrellas and notebooks

Image via imgflip

12. Then there's that awesome feeling when your insurance submission gets approved and you feel completely invincible!

Anything can happen and that's okay because you're covered! Although, it's probably a wise idea to not go out of your way to find a reason to be hospitalised...

Image via Imgur

Protecting yourself is one of the best things you can do, and it's a huge reminder that you're actually pretty awesome at this whole adulting thing after all!

Researchers have discovered that some people have a rare genetic mutation that decreases their cells' use of a particular growth hormone: insulin-like growth factor 1. As a result, these people tend to be smaller and also live a longer-than-average life span.
