Cempedak Vs Jackfruit: What The Heck Is The Difference?

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.

This is jackfruit...

Image via Cleveland Clinic

... And this is cempedak or chempedak

Image via Migrationology

Both fruits look awfully identical to each other, which often causes confusion.
But there are several differences between the two.

For starters, cempedak is generally much smaller than jackfruit

Image via Steemit

Although both have a slightly spiky outer layer, their shapes are also sometimes different.Jackfruit, also known as nangka in Malaysia, is usually huge and oval in shape. While cempedak is tubular as well, it can look slightly rounder and bulgier at times, like a ball that has been partially squished.A cempedak fruit's size can range from 10cm to 15cm in diameter and 20cm to 35cm in length. Meanwhile, a jackfruit can range from 15cm to 50cm in diameter and 30cm to 100cm in length!

When ripe, both of the fruits' flesh have similar colours, ranging from pale yellow to a slightly orange tone.
But compared to jackfruit, cempedak flesh is slightly sweeter, aromatic, and fibrous.

Native to Southeast Asia and several other tropical countries, cempedak fruit can be eaten on its own, like jackfruit, or is often enjoyed deep fried as fritters. I mean, what's not to love about cempedak goreng?

Image via Inani Hazwani

Cempedak seeds may be smaller, but one thing the fruits have in common is that both seeds can be boiled and eaten as well.

So now the question is, if jackfruit is called nangka in Bahasa Melayu, what is cempedak called in English?

There's no English equivalent for the fruit's name. Unless you want to get scientific and call it 'Artocarpus integer'.TL;DR: Although both fruits are similar in many ways, they also have their differences in shape, size, texture, and taste. Either way, they're both yummy!

Durian has been confused for a jackfruit on multiple occasions as well:

Even lifestyle guru Martha Stewart has committed the same mistake.

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.

E-hailing and food delivery super-app Grab is acquiring Malaysia's premium grocery chain Jaya Grocer, according to a filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)

New Straits Times reported that Grab did not disclose how much it is offering to buy Jaya Grocer.However, sources claimed that the largest ride-hailing company in Southeast Asia is forking out RM1.5 billion to RM1.8 billion to buy the grocery chain, according to The Edge Markets.Based on the filing to SEC, it is understood that Grab had entered into a share purchase agreement (SPA) with the current shareholders of Jaya Grocer to buy all of the ordinary shares and 75% of the preference shares of Jaya Grocer."Subject to certain terms, the GHL (Grab Holding Limited) subsidiary will have the option to buy, and the current shareholders will have the option to sell to the GHL subsidiary, the remaining 25% of the preference shares of Jaya Grocer after the closing of the transaction," read the filing."For local regulatory purposes, GHL intends to partner with a local investor which will own 50% of the voting shares in Jaya Grocer."

Image via New Straits Times

The closing of the deal is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2022 after the customary conditions are met

"Following closing, Jaya Grocer is expected to become a subsidiary of GHL and its financial results will be consolidated by GHL," it said.Grab's share price remains at USD7.20 at the time of writing as it is after-market hours in the US.

Grab had on 2 December listed on Nasdaq, a dealer stock market in New York, US

The former Malaysian start-up became the largest listing in the US by a Southeast Asian company, reported The Star.Grab was founded by Malaysian Harvard graduates Anthony Tan and Tan Hooi Ling. Its first name was called MyTeksi, before changing to Grab on 28 January 2016. Currently, the super-app company is headquartered in Singapore.

As for the history of Jaya Grocer, the company's first outlet was opened in 2007.It was founded by Teng Yew Huat, who is also known for founding Giant Hypermarket.According to New Straits Times, the Teng family reportedly bought back Jaya Grocer's entire stake from AIGF Advisors Pte Ltd, a private equity firm headquartered in Singapore.The sale in November gave the Teng family ownership of the entire shareholding of Jaya Grocer, reported The Edge Markets.The full ownership gives them the flexibility to implement their strategic plans for their consolidated shareholding.

AIGF said on 24 November that its investment in Jaya Grocer back in 2016 was part of the fund's strategy of identifying and investing in companies with strong potential as it wanted to work alongside them to enhance the value of their businesses and to create leaders in their respective industries.During the investment period, Jaya Grocer expanded from just over 10 stores to more than 40 today.


How To Grocery Shop Like A Pro So You Get The Best Experience & Savings Every Week

1. Don't shop on an empty tummy

Image via The Oatmeal

When you do groceries on an empty tummy, you'll totally end up spending on snacks and overbuying food you don't actually need. It's much better to shop on a full stomach, that way you'll only get the necessary groceries and save a lot of money.

2. Plan your meals ahead of time and bring a list

Image via Lifehack

Making a meal plan doesn't have to be complicated. Think about two or three dinners, list the ingredients needed to make those meals, then add some snacks and easy breakfast foods. This is the single easiest and most efficient way to save money and time on your groceries!

3. Buy less canned and packaged convenience foods

Image via Gizmodo

Fresh produce is much cheaper than canned goods. Shop for local fruits and veggies when they're in season to get the most bang for your buck. While pre-packaged meals are convenient, cooking from scratch is not only more affordable, it also tends to be healthier too!

4. Don’t automatically overlook no-name or store brands

Image via AEON

One of the best ways to save money on groceries is to buy store brands! They tend to be less expensive than branded goods, yet are still good quality. Products to consider buying are dry goods like noodles and household supplies like garbage bags. You never try, you never know!

5. When you’re picking out chicken, look at the colour of the flesh, texture, and odour

Image via SAYS

Fresh chicken meat should have pink flesh and when you hold it, it should feel springy and firm rather than stiff or overly soft. If you see blood, this may be a sign that the meat has been frozen and thawed several times, which is not a good thing. There should be no bloody spots on your chicken.

6. For the freshest fish, check the eyes, the colour of the gills, the firmness of the stomach, and the scales

Image via SAYS

Fish eyes should be clear and firm rather than cloudy and sunken.Meanwhile, you want the gills to be bright red rather than brownish. Look for a firm stomach, if the insides are starting to spill out, do not buy that fish. Finally, fresh fish would have the scales firmly intact to its skin.

7. If you're buying fresh meat, take note of the colour, firmness, odour, and clean cuts that are uniform

Image via SAYS

Fresh meat will have a rich, red colour. If it is brownish or dull, the chances are the meat has been sitting out for a while. The meat should be springy, so if your finger leaves an indentation, it's probably not a good pick. Finally, fresh beef is generally odourless, so if it gives off a smell, give it a pass.

8. When shopping for fresh produce, look for bright colours, heavy weight, firmness, and aroma

Image via Freepik

Go for fruits and vegetables with the brightest colours. Dull colours usually mean the item is not fully ripe or was deprived of sun or nutrients. Generally, the heaviest fruits will be juicy and crisp, while lightweight produce tend to be more dry and mealy. Meanwhile, your produce should be plump and firm to touch, but not hard. Finally, give your produce a sniff. Unripe fruits smell like nothing, but ripe ones tend to be fragrant.

9. Buy baked goods later in the day for an extra discount

Image via Imgur

Most grocery store bakeries will slash their prices near the evening in order to finish their inventory before the market closes. It’s the perfect way for you to get your fill of yummy carbs at reduced prices!

10. Hit the frozen aisle last on your grocery trip

Image via Buzzfeed

Adding them to your cart at the start of your trip will cause them to thaw as you complete your grocery list, making them less fresh when you finally get home.

11. Use a trusted membership card to collect points and rewards

Image via Giphy

Membership cards provide lots of rewards that will benefit you. From exclusive discounts and privileges to point redemption and conversion to cash, it’s always a great hack to sign up for membership to your preferred grocery store.

Here Is MOE's Response To The Controversy Of Students Singing 'Negaraku' In Chinese

Last week, a video showing Chinese vernacular school students singing the national anthem in their mother tongue went viral, leading to an investigation by the Ministry of Education (MOE)

The video, which spans one minute and 23 seconds, shows a classroom of Year Five students of various ethnicities singing 'Negaraku' in Mandarin while standing straight.According to New Straits Times, the video recorded on 19 September last year was believed to have originated from a school in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan.

The video sparked anger among netizens, with many disagreeing with the national anthem being sung in a language other than Bahasa Malaysia

"What the hell... This is too much," commented a Facebook user."Even Singapore doesn't dare to change their national anthem to Chinese," said another netizen.

Image via Facebook

Some netizens noted that it is not the first time 'Negaraku' has been sung in other languages, citing examples that it was also sung in Arabic."It was common to hear the national anthem sung in Arabic in the past," added a netizen.

Image via Facebook

After investigations, the Ministry of Education revealed that the incident was part of a lesson to teach students about the meaning behind the national anthem

Education director-general Amin Senin said the video was captured during a lesson in a confined classroom, reported Malaysiakini."Our investigations found that the conduct only took place during classroom lessons that were meant to improve the understanding towards the meaning, purpose, and conventions when singing the national anthem 'Negaraku' by citizens in this country," Armin said in a statement last Friday, 6 December.He added that schools must adhere to the National Anthem Act 1968 and warned against making alterations to the national anthem when it is sung during official functions.

The Ministry of Education also stated that they are aware of similar incidents found in other schools

Primary school students singing 'Negaraku' in Arabic.

Bersatu Youth's education bureau has filed a police report over the viral video, adding that the national anthem was also sung in Arabic, reported Malaysiakini.Its exco Mohd Ashraf Mustaqim described such incidents as a treasonous act against patriotism and nationalism. "It is clear that the singing of 'Negaraku' either in Mandarin or Arabic is wrong and transgresses the position of 'Negaraku' as the official national anthem through its own language, which is Bahasa Melayu," Ashraf said.

Since the controversy, reports have also shown that the translations of 'Negaraku' have been part of the Chinese and Tamil school syllabus since 2014

Image via Mohd Fadhli/Facebook

A report by New Straits Times yesterday, 8 December, confirmed that the Year Five Chinese-medium History textbook contained a full translation of the national anthem on page 128.The textbook was first published by Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) Kuala Lumpur in 2014, with its third version published last year.A similar version is also found in the Tamil-medium Year Five History textbook. However, the translation is written phonetically based on the Bahasa Malaysia lyrics.

Image via Travel Wire News

Backpacking holiday specialists STA Travel was offering an exclusive deal, selling return tickets from London to Langkawi in Malaysia for only GBP49 (RM275). Only 49 tickets were available at each of STA Travel's store in London and Manchester on Thursday at 9am (UK local time). These cheap tickets are sold on a first come first served basis and limited to one per person.  These hopeful travellers, who are mostly students, were definitely prepared to rough it out and spend the night on the streets as they brought along extra pillows and duvets to keep themselves warm in their sleeping bags.They started camping as early as Tuesday, two days before the sale.

The harsh weathers conditions did not stop any of them from trying their luck to snap up those limited tickets

Thomas Gough (right) and Billie Green were the first two people in the London queue.

Thomas Gough, 20, and Billie Green, 22, who were the first two people in the London queue, said that it was worth braving the "freezing" cold weather to get those discounted tickets. "We found out about the sale at about midday on Monday and we came down as soon as we finished work. We plan to go travelling in June and now we are going to have two weeks in Langkawi and then get flights from there to Australia. I had never heard of Langkawi but it looks really nice in the pictures!" Gough told Travel Weekly.

Image via Travel Wire News

Meanwhile, STA Travel said that it was not surprising to see people queueing outside the stores as they've seen such occurrences in the past when they offered similar deals

"We are very excited to be able to offer these incredible Malaysia Airlines fares to our customers." "Langkawi boasts some of the world’s best beaches, wonderful wildlife and marine life and delicious local delicacies," STA Travel's UK manager, Tim Fryer told London daily Standard."Whether you just want to chill in Langkawi, team your time with a stay in Kuala Lumpur or use Langkawi as the springboard for a longer trip around south-east Asia, our exclusive GBP49 fare is the perfect way to start your adventure."

Looks like Malaysia will be welcoming some of these lucky travellers from the UK soon :)


Tourist Drowned After A Wave Dragged Him Out To Sea While He Was Taking Selfies

Chinese national Qiuwei Anhui drowned on Sunday, 29 July, at Nusa Penida, an island just off the southeastern coast of Bali, Indonesia

Image via Punapi Bali

Klungkung Police Insp. spokesman I Nyoman Sarjana told Tribun News that, "Upon arriving at Angel's Billabong Beach, the victim and his friend, Emeli Seth, a Dutch national, took a selfie with a sea view of the Indian ocean."

The 46-year-old tourist and his friend were taking selfies on the edge of a 10 meter high cliff when a wave crashed into them and dragged them out to sea

"The wife of the victim shouted for help," Sarjana said.I Kadek Sinta, the group's driver, had witnessed the incident and immediately jumped in to save them. However, he only managed to save Seth, as the rough waters had sent Anhui too far out, Coconuts Bali reported.

The victim was reportedly already dead when he was pulled out of the water by rescuers from the Lembongan Dive Centre

Image via Ist

He was officially declared dead at the Pratama Nusa Penida Hospital, where his body was taken. According to medical examiners, flesh from Anhui's leg was torn and there were scratches on both his hands and back.

Sarjana warned that tourists visiting the popular tourist destination should be more careful when travelling around Angel's Billabong, "especially when tidal waves tend to be large"

Image via Hotels.com

A similar incident happened last March.According to Coconuts Bali, a New Zealand tourist jumped into the ocean when his girlfriend was dragged out to sea by a large wave while she was taking pictures.His girlfriend was rescued by a snorkeler, but the 23-year-old's body was later found in Crystal Bay, around 50 meters from the cliff.

Pernah alami. Agak sukar utk pulih. Masih dan kekal rasa insecure n ada trust issue. Trauma, stress. Setiap hari berdoa n ckp dgn diri sndri, “aku maafkan suami, aku redha, aku redha ya Allah dgn segala ujian-Mu.” Antara sebahagian ayat yg selalu aku ckp pd diri sndri.— shaaaaaa (@sha_sba89) July 20, 2022

Sis? Lepas 30 tahun berkahwin pun, dia tetap akan cari perempuan lain. Lelaki kalau dari awal dah curang, takyah la bg muka. Bnyk relatives yg perangai bangsat mcm ni. Saya pun berbuih mulut cakap kat isteri depa suh tinggalkan je la. Why stay seksa diri when you can be happy?— Nadiaaaa (@cacaxhayat) July 20, 2022

Lelaki bila dah kahwin and still download dating apps , niatnya semata nak test market. First sekali nasihat elok elok & try tegur , kalau masih tak berubah , minta fasakh. Dah kahwin sepatutnya benda benda macam ni kena tinggal dah. Nak buat boleh tapi masa single.— G (@najeeha_9) July 20, 2022

Kalau dia terima balik, dia still teringat and ada trust issue dengan husband dia. Sepanjang perkahwinan akan ada rasa curiga dekat suami. Faham tak perasaan tu? Kesiannya! — Nuriyliamalek  (@nuriyliamalek) July 22, 2022

Kita yang single pun tak berani nak donload apps tu sebab takut terjebak terjerat.. tengok iklan dia kat utube pun dah mengerikan. Like macam mana orang boleh percaya/chatting dengan orang yang dia tak kenal pastu jumpa terus dating.. — Nur Atikah™ (@NureQgiLer) July 20, 2022

Guru Di Ghana Ajar 'Microsoft Word' Kepada Pelajar Tanpa Menggunakan Komputer. Salute!

Di Malaysia, kebanyakan institut pembelajaran sudah pun menyediakan pelbagai kemudahan termasuk komputer untuk para pelajar belajar dengan mudah

Image via radarbanyumas.co.id

Namun begitu, tidak semua negara di dunia mempunyai akses dan kemudahan seperti itu. Ada juga negara yang masih menggunakan papan hitam walaupun untuk kelas yang sepatutnya menggunakan komputer. Contohnya jika ingin belajar cara untuk menggunakan segala software yang ada.

Baru-baru ini telah viral tentang seorang guru di Ghana yang telah dikatakan mengajar Miscrosoft Word tanpa menggunakan komputer

Image via CNN

Menurut laporan dari CNN, guru lelaki ini yang dikenali sebagai Richard Appiah Akoto, 33 mengajar subjek komputer di Betenase Junior High School di bandar Sekyedomase, Ghana.Beliau telah melukis diagram yang cantik dan persis Microsoft Word yang sebenar seperti dalam komputer untuk mengajar muridnya menggunakan software tersebut.Oleh kerana negara itu masih belum mampu untuk memiliki komputer di sekolah, cara yang dilakukan oleh Richard merupakan usahanya sendiri untuk memastikan anak muridnya tidak gagal dalam peperiksaan subjek itu.Warna yang digunakan oleh Richard ketika melukis diagram itu juga adalah berlainan supaya mudah untuk difahami anak muridnya.

Menurut Richard, pelajarnya perlu lulus peperiksaan yang merangkumi soalan mengenai teknologi maklumat dan komunikasi (ICT), namun sekolah itu tidak mempunyai kemudahan komputer sejak 2011

Image via CNN

"Saya sentiasa mahukan mereka mempunyai minat dalam subjek itu supaya saya boleh melakukan yang terbaik untuk mereka semua," kata Richard.Beliau juga berkata kepada National Public Radio bahawa beliau mengambil masa kira-kira 30 minit untuk melukis versi skrin komputer ke papan hitam sebelum bermulanya kelas tersebut.

Richard melalui laman Facebook miliknya telah menulis bahawa beliau menyayangi anak muridnya dan akan melakukan apa sahaja supaya mereka faham apa yang diajar

Teaching of ICT in Ghana's  school is very funny. ICT on the board paa. I love ma students so have to do wat will make...Posted by Owura Kwadwo Hottish on Thursday, February 15, 2018

Tindakan Richard telah meraih perhatian orang ramai di media sosial termasuk seorang usahawan yang dikenali sebagai Rebecca Enonchong

Image via CNN

Rebecca Enonchong telah menyuarakan pendapat melalui laman Twitter kepada Microsoft Amerika tentang cara Richard menggunakan produk mereka (Microsoft Word) tanpa menggunakan apa-apa akses, hanya papan hitam. Beliau juga menyarankan supaya Richard mendapat sumber yang sesuai untuk terus mengajar subjek tersebut.

Campur tangan Rebecca dipersetujui oleh Microsoft Amerika dan mereka membuat keputusan untuk membantu memberikan akses dan sumber yang sepatutnya kepada pelajar Richard

Image via CNN

Menurut 100 lebih orang pelajarnya berkata mereka gembira dengan lukisan yang dilukis oleh Richard kerana ianya merupakan penjelasan yang simple dan mudah difahami oleh mereka.Ini juga bukan kali pertama Richard telah menggambarkan teknologi di papan hitam. Beliau telah melukis monitor, system unit, keyboard, mouse, formatting toolbar, drawing toolbar dan pelbagai lagi.

Hebat betul Richard ni! Kudos untuk beliau kerana telah bersungguh-sungguh mengajar anak muridnya walaupun tanpa akses yang sepatutnya. :)

Man In Ipoh Almost Set His Friend On Fire After Petrol Nozzle Suddenly Burst Into Flames

In a recent viral video, a petrol spout suddenly burst into flames while a man was filling up his car at a gas station in Ipoh

Image via Facebook

CCTV footage showed two men exiting their car to fill petrol. The driver was casually chatting with his friend while filling up when the petrol nozzle suddenly caught fire.

Out of reflex, he immediately pulled it out of his car. It proved to be the wrong thing to do, as the still-flowing nozzle splashed petrol everywhere, causing the fire to spread all over the ground and almost set his friend on fire.

Image via Facebook

Fortunately, his friend managed to run away from the fire while alert bystanders ran out to quickly extinguish it

Image via Facebook

Thankfully, the fire died down without any explosion and no serious injuries were reported.

It was believed to have been caused by his car engine being left on as he was filling up petrol.

Watch the full CCTV clip below:

It is also not advisable to use your phone at the petrol station. Here’s why:

10 Myths & Misconceptions About Women's Periods We Gotta Set Straight

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.

Menstruation is a normal part of a woman's life, and yet, there are many hearsays and myths surrounding this 'special time' of the month

Humans used to depend on word of mouth for information and advice, so there were tonnes of superstitions passed down from mother to daughter.However, so much progress has been made in science and medicine. So, let's try to move past these unnecessary and restrictive rules surrounding women's periods.

Image via freepik

Here's what's true — and what's not — about periods:

Myth 1: Drinking cold water will worsen your period pain

From a scientific point of view, no food and drinks — or the different temperatures at which they are consumed — should affect your menstruation.A medical officer from the Ministry of Health, Dr Ena Liew, also told SAYS that drinking and period pain are two separate events."Menstruation is related to the reproductive system, whereas drinking is related to the gastrointestinal tract. There is no evidence of cause and effect," she said.However, it is important to stay hydrated – you just have to decide what temperature water you like best.

Image via jcomp/freepik

Myth 2: Washing your hair when you're menstruating is bad for your health

"There is absolutely no reason for you not to wash your hair during your period," affirmed Dr Liew."No studies have showed any side effects from hair washing. In fact, personal hygiene is even more important when you're on your period," she said.She added that soaking in a warm bath may actually help relieve menstrual cramps instead.Scientific studies have found that localised heat therapy, be it a warm bath or a heating pad, on the lower abdomen can lessen menstrual pain by reducing abdominal muscle tension.

Myth 3: It is unhygienic for women to go swimming while menstruating

It may be hard to believe, but it is absolutely safe for women to go swimming during their periods.This myth probably came before the invention of internal feminine hygiene products. Women now have tampons and menstrual cups that make it safe, comfortable, and sanitary to participate in water-related activities on their periods.In fact, China national swimmer Fu Yuanhui broke the taboo on international TV too, revealing that she was on her period when she swam the 4x100m medley relay during the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Myth 4: Exercising while you're on your period can damage the uterus

It is perfectly fine for you to go exercise while you're on your period.According to Dr Liew, the uterus is a very hardy organ – it is situated deep inside the pelvis and cannot be damaged simply from vigorous exercise."Instead, some studies have found that regular exercise can boost your mood and reduce menstrual cramps," she said.So, you do you. While some women enjoy exercising, many others prefer to be less active when they have heavy flow and pain.

Image via tirachardz/freepik

Myth 5: Period blood is 'dirty blood'

There is no such thing as 'dirty' blood in the body. All blood is normal blood.The vaginal bleeding that you see every month is the result of your womb shedding its lining when pregnancy does not occur.So, menstrual blood is just a mixture of unused uterine tissue and blood – you might occasionally get small, chunky clots and that is okay.Blood colour can also range from pink to dark red, depending on your flow and day of your period. Fresh blood tends to be bright while older blood is darker, and both are normal to be seen during periods.

Image via The Verge

Myth 6: Girls will lose their virginity if they use tampons during their first periods

This is absolutely a myth because, let's set this straight: a broken hymen does not prove a person has had sex and virginity is a social construct anyway. It should not be a worry.Dr Liew agreed. She explained, "If losing your virginity is referring to breaking the hymen (a thin piece of fibrous tissue that is found inside the opening of the vagina), you must know that the hymen naturally already has holes that allow menstrual blood to flow through.""The hymen can also break on its own from other everyday movements, not just sexual intercourse."So, no, using a tampon will not take away anyone's 'virginity'. Although for first time users, it may be difficult to insert a tampon the first few times and that is normal. Take your time or make an appointment with a healthcare provider to teach you.

Image via freepik

Myth 7: You can't get pregnant from having sex during your period

"It is highly unlikely, but not impossible," cautioned Dr Liew.She told us that even though the general menstrual cycle is predictable, some women have irregular menstruation as well as irregular ovulation (release of eggs from the ovaries).So, there is a possibility that her fertility window could overlap with her period."And so, even though you are bleeding, there is a chance that you could get pregnant when having sex because you have no idea if you are still ovulating," she said.Therefore, always practise safe sex.

Image via Medical News Today

Myth 8: Taking painkillers every time you have period cramps is bad for you

It's common to have menstrual cramps during the first couple of days of your period.If natural remedies such as using a heat pack does not relieve your pain, it is definitely okay to take painkillers for your period pain, such as paracetamol or over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medications.It should not be shameful to take painkillers – they not only help to relieve discomfort and cause your uterus to cramp less, but can also make your period flow lighter. You will also feel better to carry out daily chores.Ask a doctor for a prescription on how to take NSAIDS safely, but most importantly, always take them after food to prevent stomach ulcers.

Image via rawpixel/freepik

Myth 9: Women who spend a lot of time together will have their menstrual cycles sync up

While period syncing is a popular belief that women will start menstruating on the same day every month after spending time together, it is difficult to prove.An initial study in the 1970s suggested that body chemicals called pheromones synchronised the cycles of women living together.However, further studies failed to support those findings and showed that they may instead be random events, and that synchronisation is more likely due to the laws of probability.

Image via Inside FMCG

Myth 10: Pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS), mood swings, and period pain is all just in your head

According to WebMD, PMS is a real syndrome of emotional and physical symptoms experienced usually one to two weeks before your period.Symptoms vary greatly among women and can include bloating, headaches, mood swings, sleep changes, and acne."As many as 75% of women experience PMS," added Dr Liew. She added that it is degrading for anyone to dismiss the experience and period pain reported by a large minority of women, as well as prevent them from seeking relief from their symptoms."Some women do require more emotional support from those around them during this time."

Image via katemangostar/freepik

And that's it! But, to reiterate: Menstruation is a regular biological function and not some ancient taboo

The practices surrounding women having their periods should be supportive, not limiting!

Contraception does not have to be a taboo topic either. Here is all you need to know about birth control in Malaysia:

“Shopping Macam Tak Ada Akal” - Inilah Perangai Buruk Sesetengah Orang Kita Bila Ada Sales

Baru saja masuk minggu kedua bulan Ramadan, orang ramai sudah memulakan misi pencarian baju raya

Seperti biasa, tatkala tiba saja waktu perayaan pastinya akan terdapat begitu banyak sales di gedung-gedung pakaian berjenama di seluruh negara. Waktu inilah semua orang tak nak lepaskan peluang untuk berbelanja sakan supaya boleh bergaya di hari raya nanti.

Image via giphy.com

Tetapi apa yang mendukacitakan adalah sikap buruk sesetengah rakyat Malaysia apabila adanya sales besar-besaran

Seperti yang dilaporkan Farah Amin pada akaun Facebook miliknya semalam, dia sangat terperanjat melihat keadaan butik pakaian berjenama H&M sewaktu dia ingin membeli-belah di sana. Kejadian seperti ini terjadi disebabkan H&M kini menjalankan jualan murah besar-besaran sempena Aidilfitri nanti.  Baca luahan Farah di bawah:

Aku tahu H&M tengah sales gila2. Tapi korang kalau pergi shopping tu jadi lah pembeli yang berhemah sikit. Aku pergi H&M tadi ya Allah kesian wey. Memang dah nama pon keje dia tp pikir la jugak. Staff tu pon manusia, puasa lagi. Sama je mcm kita. Bukan binatang kau nak panggil woi woi tolong amik baju. Tak cukup tangan budak tu nak layan org ni org tu. Semua tak reti sabar. Kalau dah nampak mcm tu punya ramai manusia, please consider. Self service atau pon sabar kejap. Staff mesti tolong. Nak bayar tolong beratur.

        facebook.com

Image via Farah Amin/Facebook

Reminder utk mak ayah yang nak shoping barang2 anak. Fitting room ade pergi la try. Ni kau try kt floor dah satu hal, lepastu bila taknak, kau tinggal je kt atas lantai macam tu je. Macam kat rumah kau buat. Kau dah jadi mak bapak kot. Takkan lah takbole pikir adab. Bila staff kerek ke takde mood ke kau marah pulak staff tu. Padahal org tu da penat kemas kasi elok nak kasi senang semua org shopping. Tapi kau orang shopping mcm takde akal. Sabar. Tak hilang pn H&M tu. Tak sempat harini, esuk datang lagi. Rasa malas nak beratur sbb ramai sangat kt fitting room? Beli dulu. Balik rumah try. Tak ngam bole tukar. H&M ade exchange & return policy. Bole baca kt website H&M. Tolong educate diri sebelom pergi shopping. Kau tahu pukul 10 mall tutup, jangan lah dtg pukul 10. Staff pon ade rumah nak balik makan, mandi, rehat. Tak kisah la mana2 pon kau nak shoping selain H&M. Tolong jaga adab.

        facebook.com

Image via Farah Amin/Facebook

Orang ramai yang melihat post tersebut turut terkesan dan berasa geram. Mana tidaknya, baju kasut dan sebagainya semua dalam keadaan bersepah.

Image via Farah Amin/Facebook

"Aku tengok macam nak sepak je!"

Image via Farah Amin/Facebook

"Lain kali H&M bentang je canvas. Tabur je baju tu"

Image via Farah Amin/Facebook

"Inilah namanya beruk masuk bandar!"

Image via Farah Amin/Facebook

Kami harap semoga teguran dan luahan Farah ini membuka mata orang ramai di luar sana. Ingat ya, bukan anda seorang saja yang ingin beraya. :)

Confirmed: Malaysians Are #1 Users Of Poop And Fart Emojis In The World

Are your conversations constantly filled with emojis? One billion emojis were analysed in a study done by keyboard app Swiftkey, and it gave us some interesting results about Malaysian texting habits...

Image via giphy.com

SwiftKey analyzed more than one billion pieces of emoji data across a wide range of categories to learn how speakers of 16 different languages and regions use emoji. The findings in this report came from an analysis of aggregate SwiftKey Cloud data over a four month period between October 2014 and January 2015, and includes both Android and iOS devices.

        scribd.com

1. Malaysia is the world's emoji capital. We send out more emojis than Americans or Europeans! Malaysia boleh!

Image via giphy.com

And guess what? It turns out that Malaysian SwiftKey users are the heaviest users of emoji. Even more than US or European users. It gets even more interesting when you find out which are the most popular emoji with Malaysians.

        stuff.tv

2. Malaysians are a sleepy nation. We use the sleepy emoji twice the global average. Must be because of the late night football.

Image via EliteDaily

Malaysians apparently love the sleepy emoji over everything else using it twice the average according to an unusual study by SwiftKey.

        therakyatpost.com

3. France is really the capital of love. They send the most heart emojis compared to the rest of the world.

Image via fastcompany.net

Study found that the French are the most loved-up, sending more hearts than any other region, while Australians use double the average amount of alcohol-themed emoji.

        dailymail.co.uk

4. Malaysians love integrating kampung animals into their convos with the pig being the most used animal followed by the ram

Image via Fab

Amazingly, we also topped the charts for farm animal emoji. That’s the cow, chicken, and rams. Of them all, the pig was the most often used while the ram came in a close second. What do you make of that?

        stuff.tv

5. Malaysians are the top users of poop and fart emojis, double the global average...

Image via giphy.com

We love using joke emoji like farts and poop; they ring in at nearly double the average rate. Guess which is the most popular joke emoji? Nope, it’s not the poop one, but the fart that wins. Want to know who takes themselves very seriously. The Russians.

        stuff.tv

6. Malaysians love football. So much so that we use the emoji three times more than football crazy nations in South America!

Image via Stuff.tv

Yes, we can. When it comes to sport-related emoji, the soccer ball is the most popular. We use it three times more than other cultures, including Latin American Spanish speakers.

        stuff.tv

7. Malaysians lead the charge in girl power emojis, especially with the "woman raising hand" emoji. Talk about sass!

Image via bbci.co.uk

While we did not come first in users of male emoji, it turns out that we are the biggest users of female emoji. More specifically, we use the “woman raising hand” emoji the most, as does the US. We really thought it'd be the woman in the red dress.

Woman Made Her Son Sit Under The Hot Sun To "Book" A Parking Space

A woman has come under fire on social media for making her toddler son sit on a parking spot alone to "reserve" the space for her car

Image via Facebook

The incident is believed to have occurred at Jalan Kuchai Lama, Kuala Lumpur, a populated business area known to have limited parking spaces especially during peak hours.

A passerby has initially thought the boy was lost, only to discover that his mother had told him to sit there while she shifts her car over

In a Facebook post that has since gone viral, the passerby wrote that the mother had left the boy there for at least 20 minutes.

The boy's mother remains unidentified, although that did not stop netizens from commenting on her irresponsible and dangerous decision

Federal Territories Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa said the hotel will be used to help those who are impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic

"This is a platform to gather, coordinate, and treat those who are impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. It is done jointly with the support of volunteers, associations, corporate organisations, and NGOs," he said, adding that the initiative will offer five main components.Based on the visuals posted by YWP on Facebook, Rumah [email protected] Seasons will be offering 1,000 food packages every day under the Prihatin Kitchen component.The initiative will also offer 300 hotel rooms to people under the Prihatin Accommodations component, reported Sinar Harian. They just have to pay a minimal amount or any amount they can afford.The other components are Prihatin Mental Health Services, Prihatin Vaccination Services, and Jejak Prihatin Operation Centre."We are also reviewing whether some of the 300 rooms in the hotel are suitable to be used as quarantine centres for low-risk COVID-19 cases," said the minister.

Grand Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur was once the tallest hotel in the capital and had been in operation for 20 years

The Edge Markets reported that the 40-storey hotel was owned by Lim Siew Kim, a daughter of late Genting Bhd tycoon Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong.It ceased operation in 2019 due to "cost, business, and operational factors even though remedial measures have been taken".The building is said to be old and has many issues with its facilities, such as water plumbing, piping, and central air conditioning system.

5 Perkara Yang Anda Patut Buat Supaya Darah Pahlawan Tidak Hilang

1. Elakkan tengok cerita hantu

I think the PM is down with fever, he watched Insidious 3 last night and now he is scared of Tun M. Wait what?— soulzoul (@soulzoul) June 5, 2015

Filem Insidious Chapter 3 baru saja menjengah ke panggung wayang seluruh Malaysia semalam (4 Jun 2015). Mungkin orang yang ada darah pahlawan juga akan tewas selepas menonton.

Image via www.beentothemovies.com

2. Jangan biarkan keputusan perlawanan bola sepak negara menggugat anda

Image via youtube.com

Seperti yang kita tahu, Malaysia baru saja tewas 0-1 di tangan Thailand semalam (4 Jun 2015). Lebih buruk lagi, kemungkinan besar pasukan kita tidak layak untuk pergi ke pusingan seterusnya dan boleh balik awal. Memang boleh gugur darah pahlawan bila fikirkan balik.

3. Jangan beritahu orang lain yang anda ada darah pahlawan

Image via www.themalaymailonline.com

Najib: "Saya tidak akan patah semangat, darah dalam diri saya ini bukan darah sembarangan, saya mungkin dilihat adakalanya bersemangat diplomatik, tapi semangat kepahlawanan tetap ada dalam saya."Kenapa jangan beritahu? Dikhuatiri orang akan nampak diri kita ini kononnya seperti seorang yang gagah perkasa. Tetapi hakikatnya tidak pun.

4. Jangan kongsi bantal dengan isteri

Image via www.malaysiakini.com

Najib: "Saya gembira kerana saya tidak berseorangan. Malam ini saya boleh tidur nyenyak, isteri saya pun boleh tidur nyenyak, kami tidur sebantal, mimpi pun sama, kami rasa lega kerana Sarawak BN jelas begitu ikhlas menyokong, saya boleh baca hati orang."Seseorang mesti perlu ada bantalnya sendiri ketika tidur. Barulah boleh tidur dengan nyenyak. Kalau kongsi dengan orang lain, tidur akan terganggu dan pada masa yang sama anda akan tak cukup tidur. Bila tak cukup tidur, mulalah badan rasa lemah dan tak bermaya. Darah pahlawan pun tak akan dapat membantu.

5. Jangan tak hadir pada apa-apa majlis yang anda telah dijemput

Image via www.themalaysianinsider.com

"Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak tidak hadir program 'Dialog PM bersama NGO' pagi ini di Pusat Dagangan Dunia Putra (PWTC) kerana faktor keselamatan atas nasihat Ketua Polis Negara, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar."Sudahlah majlis itu diadakan semata-mata untuk anda datang, tetapi anda sendiri yang tidak hadir. Jadi nak buat macam mana? Kalau perkara ini berlaku, maknanya darah pahlawan dalam diri anda telah hilang. Setuju?

Persoalannya, di mana Najib?

Menurut Nurul, di Istanbul memang banyak restoran halal untuk Muslim. Anda hanya perlu pilih jika ingin makan mahal atau murah.

3 Hari di Istanbul memang sangat best! Memang tenang sungguh Istanbul. Jadi kami banyak ambil kesempatan untuk solat di Blue Mosque. Best sangat... Makan pula jangan risau sebab memang banyak kedai restoran halal. Cuma nak makan murah or mahal. Di istanbul, pagi breakfast disediakan di hotel, jadi kami cuma perlu makan di luar utk tengahari / malam sahaja. But 3 hari di istanbul boleh tahan muak jugak la mkanan dia sebab makanan dia kering. Kalau tak kebab, nak makan nasi dia pon, lauk daging dia cm yg kat kebab tu hahahaha. Korang bawakla maggi / nasi / brahim just in case muak.The next day, kami pon bergegas siap untuk ke Cappadocia pula. Check out hotel.Ambil tram dari Sultanahmet ke station Kabatas (guna istanbulkart), di kabatas, tukar untuk naik furnicular dan berhenti di Taksim (guna istanbulkart), tunggu bas Havabus 25TL dan tiba di Sabiha Gocken airport.

RM 253 untuk 2 malam termasuk breakfast.Yang bestnya hotel kami ni ialah, dia boleh beri harga diskaun untuk naik hot air balloon. Hotel yang kitorang duduk tu, dia siap bagi list nak naik hot air balloon jenama apa. Paling murah €70 (tapi tak tahu ape jenama). Jenama yang biasa orang ambil seperti:1. Universal Balloons = €802. Anatolia Balloons = €803. Discovery Balloons = €90Kadang terkejut juga bila kawan-kawan cerita yg diorang pergi ikut travel agent, harga hot air balloon tak termasuk dalam pakej, and kalau nak tambah, kena tambah €200, like what?? Yang kitorang punya murah je, takdela sampai €200. Huhu. Selepas survey online (kat Malaysia), kitorang decided untuk ambil jenama universal balloon sebab mcm lagi famous dan lebih experienced. Hahahaha. Tapi owner hotel siap bagi discount kat kami so kami dpt harga €70 per person je.

Sebelum naik Hot Air Balloon, mereka akan bawa kita untuk makan breakfast dulu dan harga adalah termasuk pakej yang dibayar. Sangat berbaloi!

Nak naik hot air balloon ni, pagi-pagi pukul 4 dia dah kejut kita weh. And surprisingly diorang ni datang on time! So pukul 4 tu dengan mata mengantuk lagi tapi dah bersiap-siap naik shuttle bus yang disediakan. Rupanya sebab dia nak kena ambil orang lain dari hotel lain lagi.Apa yang lebih best ialah, leoas dia dah ambil semua orang dari hotel, kitorang diturunkan di sebuah restoran. Rupanya siap dapat free breakfast (buffet). Macam wow, murah dab sangat berbaloi! Dalam pukul 6.00 kami tiba di kawasan di mana semua hot air balloon tengah dikembungkan (tak tahu kata kerja yg sesuai hahahaha)Best sangat dapat naik hot air balloon. Boleh tahan rasa sebak juga sebab terbaru akhirnya tercapai wishlist sy. Tapi agak gayat jugakla. Cam terbayanngkan what if kita terjatuh. Okay terpengaruh dgn Final Destination sgt. Penerbangan habis dalam pukul 8.30 pg mcm tu and lepas mendarat, kita siap dapat sijil tau! Haha. Dia siap celebrate dgn wine tp since kami org Islam, so dia bg air jus delima.Then kami join tour untuk explore Cappadocia, pun di organise oleh hotel kami. Harga 90 TL untuk seorang dan dapat pergi ke:1. Goreme Open Air Museum2. Cavusin Old Vilage3. Pasabag Chimney4. Avanos Pottry Village5. Devrent Valley6. Urugup7.

Nurul juga mengatakan bahawa dia dan suami hanya ingin fokus untuk explore Istanbul dan Cappadocia sahaja kerana cuti yang tidak begitu panjang

So kat Cappadocia, kami banyak save sebab tour dia banyak bagi free meals haha. So memang best! The next day kami banyak berjalan pusing Cappadocia untuk bergambar dan beli souvenirs je.NOTA:1. Memandangkan ini honeymoon, jadi hotel yang kami pilih ialah hotel yang proper la sebab kalau backpack dgn kawan of course hotel cikai dan murah kita tak kisah kan, haha. Kami pun decide untuk pergi ke semua pusat tarikan di Istanbul dan Cappadocia, dan juga nak try hot air balloon. Jadi mungkin la bajet tu agak mahal sbb nak bayar semua entrance fee kan. But for me, untuk trip yg proper dan siap dapat pergi ke macam-macam tempat, bajet & itinerari ni kira dah reasonable. Hehe Tapi mcm rugi je kalau dh dtg tak pergi ke tempat-tempat tarikan dia kan.2. Sekarang duit lira tengah murah, so boleh pergi Turki sekarang hihi.3. Bajet yang saya berikan tu mostly untuk seorang. Harga hotel je utk dua orang.4. Memandangkan cuti kami tidak lama, jadi kami memang nak fokus untuk explore Istanbul dan Cappadocia sahaja.5. Bajet yang saya nyatakan diatas TIDAK termasuk flight dari Malaysia sebab haritu ade flight Air Asia ke Tehran jadi kalau All in including flight from Malaysia, kitaorang habis dalam RM 2,300 la termasuk flight, hotel, segala tiket & trip, hot air balloon, pengangkutan dan trip di Tehran sekali. Tapi since dah takde kan, so tak perlu la cerita pasal flight dari Malaysia.

If You Hate Ads In Videos, This New Feature On Facebook Will Really Annoy You

Facebook will reportedly start testing new "mid-roll" video advertisements - ads that run in the middle of a video - in order to bring in additional ad revenue to content creators

Image via Entrepreneur

Mid-rolls, as the name suggests, are adverts that automatically run in the middle of a video users are watching

Image via GDP Venture

According to BBC, the ads would probably first appear in Facebook videos by professional publishers.It's been suggested that ads wouldn't start to run until users had watched at least 20 seconds of a video.

However, the site plans on giving publishers 55 percent of the revenue generated by selling the mid-roll video space to advertisers

Image via BGR

In other words, if the new video ad model is successful, it would finally give all publishers a consistent ad-based model for making money off of the videos they post on Facebook.YouTube is also offering the same profit margin to its content creators.

With Facebook yet to comment on the claims, it's unclear how the mid-roll videos will work with Facebook Live videos or when the ads will be introduced to the masses

He also said that he will look into the matter of non-functioning CCTV at the Sarikei police station during the time of the incident

It was the Lanang MP who had questioned why the CCTV at the Sarikei police station was not functioning when the 19-year-old was raped on 29 October.According to a report in The Star Online, Muhyiddin has assured that all relevant evidence would be adduced when the case is brought to court.

Last night my dad shared his pain with me , now I realized the sacrifices of a father . He always gives all the best for us . Tries to obey everything we want. For him the child is the most precious treasure in the world, the happiness of the child is the top priority for him  pic.twitter.com/5C8BZi5XZD— aaanisss (@anxszafirah) April 2, 2019

Dia juga mengatakan bahawa ayahnya sering ingin menjadi yang terbaik buat anak-anak. Kini dia sedari bahawa pengorbanan seorang ayah adalah begitu besar buatnya.

Spek ayahnya yang sudah patah.

Jubah ayahnya yang sudah koyak dan lusuh masih dipakai.

Sentiasa bersyukur dan berterima kasih dengan apa yang diberikan oleh seorang Ayah. Mereka hanya ingin melihat anak-anak bahagia. Paling penting, jangan pernah mengeluh.

Kids nowadays craves for branded stuffs and fancy things . But please , think abt your fathers . The one that wants to see you happy every second of his life . The worst part is , you can’t recall when he brought a brand new shirt unless it’s just bundle shirt .— aaanisss (@anxszafirah) April 2, 2019

Never complain about the things your father couldn’t give you , it was probably all he had . Syukur for what you had because in Alquran said "Maka nikmat Tuhanmu yang manakah yang kamu dustakan?" Surah ar-rahman — aaanisss (@anxszafirah) April 2, 2019

BAHASA:Tweet pertama: Kanak-kanak sekarang sentiasa menginginkan barangan berjenama dan mewah. Tetapi tolonglah, fikirkan ayah. Yang ingin melihat anda gembira setiap saat dalam hidupnya. Paling teruk adalah, anda tidak boleh ingat bila kali terakhir dia membeli baju baru kecuali baju bundle yang sudah terpakai.Tweet kedua: Jangan pernah mengadu/mengeluh tentang benda/perkara yang ayah tidak mampu berikan kepada anda, mungkin hanya itulah yang dia miliki. Syukur untuk apa yang sudah ada kerana dalam Al-Quran turut berkata "Maka nikmat Tuhanmu yang manakah yang kamu dustakan?" Surah Ar-rahman.

Kasih sayang antara ayah dan anak akan kekal buat selamanya
