You Won't Believe Just How Many Epic Adventures You Can Have In Mauritius

Before we go into the story, just LOOK at how breathtaking this island is *_*

Image via holidaygoogle

If you think that Mauritius is just another paradise island, you'll be surprised at how there's actually so much more to it than just endless stretches of gorgeous beaches

Just a mere direct 7-hour flight away with Air Asia X from LCCT this beautiful island nation of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean is one of the world's top luxury travel destinations.

Just check out all the epic adventures you can experience at this vibrant island nation!

1. Visit the safari in Mauritius; the memories will stay with you forever

Not what you were expecting from a paradise island getaway huh? Yep, you can have an African safari experience right there on the island itself. It's not every day that we get to be up close and personal with the wildlife, and it's definitely not something that everyone is fortunate enough to experience. There are many animal discovery expeditions available from various parks and perhaps the most exciting one would be guided walks with lions, tigers, and cheetah.

Image via incredible-mauritius.com

Image via offbeattravel.com

The lions roam freely amongst you offering a unique opportunity of being in close contact with them. With the supervision and guidance of the lions’ handlers, you can get even closer, and experience firsthand how it is to walk alongside the lions, lead them the way and even pet them. You will get to see how the lions interact between them, climb trees and even how they feed.

2. Even if you're not a diver, you can still get a taste of the most memorable underwater excursions in one of the submarine tours

If diving isn’t your thing but you still want to venture into the underwater world, Blue Safari has a couple of alternatives for you to explore the depths of the Indian Ocean. Most importantly, you don’t need to be able to swim or dive to take part!

Single subscooter rides.

There’s a submarine tour which goes to 35 metres below sea level, deeper than a diver can go. Besides that, there’s also the subscooter – which is a hybrid between a submarine and a scooter, and is as cool as it sounds. There are a few packages available to choose from, but whatever it is, you're bound to have one of the most unique underwater experiences in your life.

3. The unbelievable view of the Mauritius coastline on a Seakart combined with the adrenaline rush - oh yeah, this is a must-do!

Image via ebrahimtours.mu

If you want a truly unique fun experience in the beautiful waters of Mauritius, get on a Seakart. Found exclusively in Mauritius, Seakart is a hybrid between a jetski and a speedboat, and sure is a kickass way to cruise around the South West coast of Mauritius. It's definitely one of those you'll-regret-if-you-don't-try-it activity. There is also a variety of packages available for either big or small groups, to cater to everyone's needs.

4. Known for its beautiful beaches - it's difficult not to be entranced by their hypnotic clear waters

The endless white sandy beaches, the turquoise blue lagoons and the clean nice warm seawater all these are things for which Mauritius is so famous. There is an offshore riff almost around the whole island. It is the main factor in the genesis of this paradise with beaches and lagoons. The coastline of Mauritius is approximately 330 km long and nearly everywhere you can find the nice sandy beaches.

        mauritius-guide.net

With incredibly clear waters and beautiful beaches, Mauritius is a diver’s mecca and surely a dream holiday location for the beach bums. All the beaches in Mauritius are open to public, equipped with parking areas and toilets. However, as most of the beaches are usually located near hotels, some of the best ones have been subtly claimed by them.

5. The diversity and rich culture of Mauritius is evident in the lifestyle of its people but it is best represented by the amazing array of cuisine thanks to years of cultural assimilation

For a tiny island, Mauritius has amazing food, from Chinese dim sum, French gourmet dishes and Indian curries. Mauritius has an incredibly rich and diverse food culture, infused with influences from its mélange of inhabitants (Creole, French, Chinese and Indian people). The island is also blessed with fertile soil, so the local produce is incredible – from super-sized vegetables to sweet fruits.

Street food is fantastic in Mauritius – you can get everything from fresh coconut water, chopped fruit covered in chilli and sugar, hot curries topped with chilli and pickles wrapped in buttery breads, and Chinese fried noodles. Mauritius also has fabulous restaurants – from local eateries with authentic food to gourmet places that serve Mauritian fusion food.

6. Although Mauritius is mainly an English and French-speaking nation, there are also a variety of other languages that are spoken within certain communities

Mauritians are no strangers to switching languages to best fit social situations, as a majority of them are fluent in both English and French. These two are the two preferred languages in educational and professional settings, while Mauritian Creole is the mother tongue for most Mauritians.The media and literature in Mauritius are primarily in French, while other Asian languages like Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu are reserved for music, religious and cultural activities.

7. The diverse culture is rich with history and heritage, resulting in beautiful traditions such as the Sega dance

The Sega is a dance which originated from Madagascar and is the musical expression of the Mauritian way of life: joy and liveliness. Originally sung by men and women who had been sold as slaves to keep their spirits alive, the Sega is now a folk song that is a mainstay in Mauritian tradition.A look at the Mauritius population might remind you slightly of home, with its multi-ethnic society. The ancestors of the Mauritian population are mainly of Indian, African, French and Chinese origin.

The driver was making a right turn down a slope of the highway when the animal suddenly crossed the road

A video of the aftermath of the incident has since gone viral, showing the black panther looking stunned in the centre of the road, before limping away on its injured hind legs and slipping under a stationary lorry that had stopped to check on the animal.According to the police chief, the panther then made its way to a drain at the side of the road to rest before succumbing to its injuries."The [driver] and his family did not suffer any injuries," he added.

Maslan said the panther's remains have been handed over to the Negeri Sembilan Department of Wildlife Protection and National Parks (Perhilitan) for further action

Meanwhile, social media users have conveyed their sympathies for the animal.Some have also suggested solutions to the common predicament, such as the establishment of wildlife bridges to help wild animals cross roads safely.

Image via Twitter

According to the Malaysia Biodiversity Information System (MyBIS), black panthers, or black leopards, are an endangered species in Malaysia and are protected under the Wildlife Conservation Act 2010 (Act 716).

Malaysians have long been calling for wildlife bridges to be built across wildlife-sensitive areas to help animals cross the road:

We Calculated Everywhere You Can Drive With "One Year's Supply" Of Free Petrol

How awesome would it be to get free petrol for a year?

Image via Giphy

Now you can with IJM Land's latest campaign 'Fuel Good'! In celebration of IJM Land winning the Platinum at the Putra Brand Awards, and The Edge Top 10 Developer again, the powerhouse developer wants to 'Tank You'. (Teehee)From now until 29 February 2020, any purchase of an IJM Land property will be rewarded with free petrol as well as 1 year ALLIANZ Personal Accident coverage.You can get 500,000 petrol points worth RM7,500. That's a lot of petrol! In fact, it's pretty hard to wrap your head around that amount.

What exactly does 1 year's worth of petrol look like? Let's break it down:

For RM7,500, you can buy RON95 at RM2.08, that's a total of 3,605 litres. Taking the average estimate that a car can travel 6km with 1 litre of petrol, you could travel 21,630km.Jom, let's see where you can go!

1. You won't have to pay for your commute to and from work

Image via Pinterest

This is a no-brainer! Let's say you spend an average of RM65 a week just to get to work, that's a total of RM3,380. You'll still have RM4,120 worth of petrol points to enjoy!

2. Are you from Johor Bahru? Because you can balik kampung from KL around 32 times in a year.

Image via Asian Inspirations

Imagine driving home to eat mee rebus, kacang pol, and laksa Johor more than twice a month without having to pay for petrol lol.

3. How about Kelantan? We estimate you'll be able to travel from KL to Kota Bharu at least 24 times!

Image via @azriadnan/Instagram

And that includes the journey back, ya know? Crazy!

4. You could go on the ultimate road trip through Borneo, starting from Kuching and ending in Semporna

Image via The Culture Trip

Taking the Pan-Borneo Highway, this epic road trip is around 1,589km long. Even if you detour for scenic stops at places like Sibu Central Market and Kinabalu Park, you've still got over 20,000km of fuel left!

5. You can drive 11 laps around Peninsular Malaysia lol

Image via Google Maps

If you start from Johor Bahru and head north to Kangar, then over to Kota Bharu, and back down again to JB, that's around 1,913km. With 21,630km worth of free petrol, you could circle the peninsular 11 times.

6. Too far? You can drive around the world's largest roundabout in Putrajaya 6,180 times!

Image via oBike/Facebook

Why would anyone wanna do this? We have no idea! But you can haha. Did you know Persiaran Sultan Sallahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah in Putrajaya is a record-holding 3.5km in diametre?

7. Travel up and down Cameron Highlands from Kuantan 30 times

Image via Cameron Highlands

Cameron Highlands is 90km from Ipoh, 200km from KL, and 355km from Kuantan. If you are what you eat, you gon' be a strawberry.

8. Hit the Sepang International Circuit to fulfill your racing fantasy... 8,287 times

Image via Giphy

Daytona 500 is 200 laps long and considered the most important and prestigious race in NASCAR. But that ain't nothing compared to this...Sepang Circuit is 2.61km long, meaning you can do 8,287 laps with a year's worth of free petrol. Vroom vroom!

9. And you don't have to keep it all in Malaysia, take a road trip to Hat Yai in Thailand or head south to visit Singapore

Image via Matador Network

It's 534km (around RM178) from KL to Hat Yai and 350km (around RM116) from KL to Singapore. So if you really wanted to, you could enjoy road trips to Hat Yai 10 times a year or to Singapore 30 times a year. :O

Imagine all the possibilities with a year's supply of free petrol...

Image via Giphy

From now 'til 29 February 2020, you'll be rewarded with free petrol points and 1-year ALLIANZ Personal Accident coverage when you purchase a home with IJM Land's 'Fuel Good' campaign

Many Malaysians have got in touch to say the meal I tweeted about yday is a popular national dish. I’d not come across it before & meant no offence. As many have pointed out, I was clearly served a v poor version by BA. Sure it can be lovely & hope to try the real thing one day!— Katie Morley (@KatieMorley_) January 16, 2020

Namun, perasaan cemas dan kekhuatiran yang berturut mungkin disebabkan oleh penyakit disorder kebimbangan.Kebanyakan penyakit ini akan dapat dirawat dengan kejayaan yang dicapai. Selain itu, ia juga dapat dirawat melalui bantuan dari pihak kaunseling dan ubat-ubatan yang sesuai.Sebelum itu, kenali gejala-gejala penyakit depression ini kerana ianya adalah berbeza untuk setiap orang.Kesukaran untuk tidur atau lebih dikenali sebagai Insomnia.Debaran jantung yang begitu cepat.Bergetaran atau kepeningan.Mempunyai kesukaran untuk bernafas.Merasa rengsa, tidak senang, tiada kawalan dan tidak dapat berehat.Tidak dapat berfikir dengan jelas atau berkonsentrasi.Nausea, muntah-muntah atau cirit-birit.Merasa seperti tercekik atau bengkak di bahagian kerongkong.Selalu berpeluh, pening kepala, otot tegang dan mudah untuk rasa ingin pengsan.

Seorang wanita yang dikenali sebagai Nazia Suhaimi telah berkongsi kisah beliau melawan penyakit depression ini dengan begitu sabar selama bertahun-tahun lamanya.
Ikuti kisah beliau di bawah:

Image via Nazia Suhaimi / Facebook

Dulu lepas habis belajar di politeknik, saya bekerja sebagai pelukis pelan. Adat bekerja, balik malam, terpaksa OT. 2 bulan saja bertahan, bila kena marah dengan bos saya terus berhenti. Dapat sambung belajar ke UiTM, dapat lompat terus ke sem 4 tapi rasa tak tahan, telefon ayah cakap nak berhenti. Ayah cakap tak perlu berhenti selagi tak gagal. Ya, memang tak gagal tapi saya drag sem yang sama sampai 3 sem. Akhirnya saya berhenti juga.Rezeki tak habis disitu, saya dapat tawaran kerja di Rawang sebagai Pembantu Arkitek dengan lulusan diploma saja. Gaji RM2k sebagai permulaan. Saya jangkakan saya akan lama disitu tapi tidak, 2 hari saja. Lepas kena maki, saya berhenti tanpa notis (sebab memang tak dapat lagi OL). Bos call banyak kali pujuk masuk kerja, tawar taja belajar di UK (sebab English saya kurang bagus). Saya diam saja. Saya tak nak.Saya tahu, mak ayah pening dengan keadaan saya. Kakak saya "sound" kalau macam ni sikap, tak ada orang akan terima saya bekerja lagi. Sepanjang tempoh pengalaman diatas, tiada ahli keluarga saya yang tahu saya dalam rawatan dan mengalami masalah Major Depression. Setiap hari rasa tak mahu bangun pagi sebab rasa tak mampu nak hadap dunia. Setiap hari rasa tak guna. Setiap hari tertanya-tanya apa hala tuju hidup. Setiap hari rasa kosong. Setiap hari rasa nak mati. Setiap hari memikirkan cara macam mana nak mati.

Tidak terhenti begitu sahaja, beliau masih merasa kesal dan murung dengan hidupnya lalu bertanyakan sama ada perkara baik yang dilakukan masih tidak cukup

Adakah saya tak solat? Saya solat cukup 5 waktu. Adakah saya tak baca Quran?Saya baca Quran. Adakah saya tak ada iman? Kalau tak ada, rasanya dah mati kot. Saya doa banyak-banyak, Ya Allah tunjukkan aku jalan apa yang paling baik buat akhiratku.Saya berkahwin dengan jodoh yang sangat baik. Pada awalnya suami saya pun pening dengan "mental" saya tapi beliau sangat sangat sangat sabar. Sepanjang rasa sengsara, 7 tahun lamanya. Satu pagi saya bangun, saya nekad untuk sihat. Saya sangat penat dengan diri sendiri. Penat rasa nak mati. Penat rasa beban. Penat rasa "mental".Dan saya bangun dan fight semua ketakutan. Saya terima kegagalan saya. Saya terima kelemahan saya. Dan saya belajar untuk bersyukur. Orang tanya saya macam mana nak sihat? Pecahkan tembok ketakutan, kegagalan, rasa malu, rasa rendah diri. Sabar. Satu-satu tembok akan pecah dan kita akan berani keluar dari "gua" kita.

Sehingga hari ini, keadaannya bertambah baik dan mampu untuk mengupaskan isu penyakit depression ini kepada masyarakat secara umum

Hari ini saya mampu bercakap secara terbuka tentang sakit mental yang saya alami. Hari ini saya mampu tersenyum dengan ikhlas tanpa perlu dipaksa. Hari ini saya bangga menjadi seorang surirumah dan ibu kepada anak-anak saya.Hari ini saya mampu terima kegagalan saya dan saya akan kembali sambung belajar. Hari ini saya ada matlamat hidup setiap hari. Kenapa saya mesti hidup pada hari ini. Hari ini, sama ada keadaan baik atau buruk. Saya tetap hargai apa yang terjadi. Hari ini saya belajar untuk bersyukur bagi setiap detik.Macam mana pula dengan hari anda?

Ingin tahu bagaimana wanita kuat ini merawat penyakit depression yang menghantui dirinya selama bertahun-tahun? Baca 8 tips beliau yang sangat berguna ini:

Image via Nazia Suhaimi / Facebook

Saya amalkan istighfar sepanjang masa. Kebergantungan pada Allah kena kuat.Saya cuba aroma terapi dengan Young Living essential oil (EO). Ada masa, walaupun sudah makan ubat tapi saya masih sukar untuk tidur. Jadi saya calitkan saja sedikit EO di bantal.Saya mula kurangkan makan benda yang manis, fast food dan lain-lain.Petang-petang riadah dengan anak-anak (lebih kurang bersenam).Mula wujudkan hobi sebagai terapi (sebelum ni hobi pun tak ada sebab terlalu sibuk risau macam-macam).Bergaul dengan orang. Satu tahap saya pernah rasa terlalu takut nak berjumpa dengan orang. Jiran datang ketuk pintu, saya lari masuk bilik. Pada awal pengalaman ambil job wedding photography, saya kena panic attack sebab macam terkejut ramai sangat orang, muzik kuat. Rasa nak pitam, nak muntah, mata pun dah naik juling, semua ada.Job-job seterusnya pun saya masih kena panic attack tapi jangan risau, ianya akan berkurang.Akhir sekali, paling penting, UNFOLLOW semua yang bawa perkara negatif. Kita nak positif kena buang semua perkara yang tak baik. Kalau perlu unfriend, left group, delete account, buat saja. Bukan nak putus silaturahim pun. Jangan sampai dekat luar pun tak tegur.Muka mesti sentiasa senyum.

Kesimpulannya, jika anda mengalami masalah penyakit depression ini, jangan sesekali pendam tanpa berkomunikasi dengan keluarga atau teman rapat kerana ianya mungkin akan membawa kepada kesan yang lebih padah

Malaysian Singer Apologises For 'Brownface' MV & Explains That It Was About Sunburnt Skin

A music video portraying a brown-skinned woman who turns fair after consuming a beauty product given by a secret admirer is criticised for making dark-skinned people look inferior

In the almost five-minute long music video, Malaysian singer Choo Hao Ren (朱浩仁) can be seen singing a song about turning a brown-skinned woman fair while describing her as a 'white doll' — which is also the title of the song.The brown-skinned woman is played by an influencer named Qiu Wen, who normally boasts fair skin in her Instagram photos.However, in the music video, she paints her skin brown and portrays a high schooler who gets bullied for being tanned.In one of the scenes, a canteen vendor speaks Bahasa Malaysia with Qiu Wen's character, which can be seen as a sign that she is mistaken as Malay. It quickly prompts her schoolmates to laugh at her.

After getting bullied, Qiu Wen's character tries to use an easer to rub off her tanned skin.

"I stare at your dark skin with admiration. I wonder if you mind," Choo begins singing

"Your dark forearms are bullied by the sun until you reach home. I am concerned, do you know?"Choo, who plays a boy with a hero complex, then secretly gifts her 'nutritious' sachets that can turn her fair upon drinking. The music video also includes unscientific skin-whitening tips, such as drinking soy milk to turn one's skin tone lighter by a few shades.By the 60th day, Qiu Wen's character turns fair, winning praise from her friends who once bullied her.Additionally, the song also uses homophonic word plays to make the term 'very white' in Chinese sound like the vulgar word for 'vagina' in Hokkien.

The music video is doubled as an advertisement for a skin-whitening product called Snowbebe.
Image via @haorened (Instagram)

The music video garnered almost 200,000 views within less than a day

Many netizens criticised Choo and his team for the racist music video and propagating antiquated ideals that fairness is beauty."Personally, I [find] this MV offensive, especially with the incredibly inappropriate use of tanned skin. Society has been trying to be prejudice-free and this MV creation [is] indirectly implying that fairer skin girls are more beautiful, [while] dark skin tones [are] inferior and less beautiful," read a comment."I think the team can create a better MV than going after such [an extreme] to gain publicity.At the time of writing, the video was removed from YouTube.

Image via YouTube

"[Throughout] the entire production, a group of people saw this in motion and thought, 'hey this is a great idea?' It's 2021 la, please don't stupid can?" read a comment written on Choo's Instagram post, which has also been removed."Seems like school didn't teach y'all enough about cultural appropriation," added another."This is not ok it's 2021 y'all," said a person, while another asked, "Why the f*ck is there blackface in 2021?"

Image via Instagram

At 10am this morning, 26 January, Choo released an apology video, saying he is sorry for making his audience feel uncomfortable over the music video

In the seven-minute long video, Choo also took the opportunity to clarify that the character Qiu Wen played was dark from being sunburnt."By sharing this MV, I hope you know that my intention is to highlight the story and effects of sunburn. It was never my intention to touch on skin colours and racial sensitive topics," said the 32-year-old singer."If I have offended anyone, I sincerely apologise."He also admitted that he was "immature" when producing the music video, adding that he will make the necessary edits to the song and share it with his audience in the future.Choo said the new music video will not contain any offensive content.The apology video made no mention that the music video was trying to equate fair skin with beauty nor did he apologise for propagating the misguided beauty standard.

Choo shared the lyrics of the song in the apology video in the hope that no one would misunderstand his intention.

Anak Autisme Selalu Hilang Kawalan, Cara Bapa Ini Tangani Anaknya Amat Meruntun Hati

Seperti yang kita sedia maklum, mendidik dan membesarkan anak mempunyai cabarannya yang tersendiri. Ibu-bapa akan diuji dengan pelbagai cabaran mental dan fizikal yang berbeza-beza.

Bukan senang nak besarkan anak-anak, lebih-lebih lagi apabila anak menghidap penyakit autisme.Kanak-kanak yang menghidap penyakit autisme ini mempunyai masalah perkembangan neuropsikologi yang menunjukkan ketidakupayaan dalam berkomunikasi dan secara tidak langsung membantutkan perkembangan. Kanak-kanak ini juga berinteraksi dalam kelakuan yang terhad dan berulang.Namun, mempunyai anak yang mengalami Autism Spectrum Disorder dan ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) tidak menghalang Iman Wan dari membesarkan anaknya itu dengan penuh kasih sayang yang tidak berbelah bagi.

Membesarkan anak istimewa sememangnya memerlukan tahap kesabaran tinggi. Seperti yang ditunjukkan oleh Iman Wan di Instagram dan Facebook, anaknya yang mempunyai Autism Spectrum Disorder dan ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) kadang-kadang sukar untuk dikawal

Namun, itu tidak menghalang Iman Wan dari membesarkan anaknya itu dengan penuh kasih sayang yang tidak berbelah bagi.

Beliau tidak teragak-agak untuk memuat-naik video yang memaparkan aktiviti harian beliau membesarkan anaknya di laman Instagram dan Facebook beliau

    PART 1 . We were a little late getting Adam’s lunch yesterday. I was worried he would snap into a meltdown. True enough as soon as we parked the car, Adam showed signs of instability. We rushed our way towards Dave’s Deli. Unfortunately before we could get into the restaurant, Adam went into a meltdown and went to the floors. It was pretty bad so I tried to bring him back into the car. He was on the floors of the parking lot. Took us about 15 minutes to contain him. When he got a bit tired, I took him into Dave’s Deli where the mother quickly fed him a plate of spaghetti. We then applied some doTERRA calming essential oils on him. He was stabilised. But the entire saga was a very exhausting one. Mamarai and my hands were scratched by Adam. He was always apologetic after he hurt us. . This is a 3 part posting. Do follow and watch the next 2 related postings. . #adamsautismfamily #doterrafamily #autismfamily #autismlife #meltdown #essentialoils #doterra_aof #calmingoils #patience #davesdeli @idanixh @raidoterra @arenalieya A post shared by  Iman Wan (@adamsautismfamily) on Dec 23, 2017 at 11:33pm PST

Melalui posting beliau, Iman Wan tidak malu mendedahkan kepada umum tentang keadaan anaknya itu. Penyakit yang dihidap oleh anaknya itu tidak sama sekali menjauhkan dirinya daripada anak istimewa tersebut.Kebanyakan video yang dikongsi oleh beliau menunjukkan kegigihan beliau bersama isteri dalam membesarkan anaknya yang menghidap penyakit autisme itu. Jujurnya, bukan mudah untuk mereka tangani masalah yang mereka hadapi.

Ketabahan dan kesabaran beliau menjaga anaknya itu meruntun hati netizen lebih-lebih lagi apabila Adam bertindak di luar kawalan

    Part 2 . Here’s the video with scenes from Adam’s meltdown at the Atria Mall yesterday. I have to restrain him by pinning him down to the floor. Otherwise he will run, he may smash things, push people, and get himself hurt. During a meltdown, Adam is unable to control his actions. Most of the time we showed videos of him on the floor when he was cheeky and playful. This one is different. He was going into a meltdown. Adam is so strong. It takes a lot of strength and concentration to hold him down, and at the same time worrying about everybody’s safety, including Adam and myself from getting hurt. I need to be very calm too. It’s very hard to manage a meltdown in public places. This lasted about 15 minutes. He has not had lunch yet. When he finally started calming down, I took him back up to Dave’s Deli for his meal. This is what some of us Autism parents go through every now and then, just to have a simple meal at the mall. . This is part 2 of a 3 part video. . #adamsautismfamily #doterrafamily #autismfamily #autismlife #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismfriendly #meltdowns #patience #davesdeli @idanixh @raidoterra @arenalieya A post shared by  Iman Wan (@adamsautismfamily) on Dec 24, 2017 at 1:37am PST

Adam selalunya akan mengalami meltdown dan beliau tidak akan dapat mengawal dirinya. Beliau akan berlari, langgar orang sekeliling dan mencederakan dirinya sendiri.

    Calming Adam was a daily struggle. I remembered how frustrated and helpless we felt those days before we had the oils. There was nothing we could do except increasing his dosage of suppressive drugs. Looking back, I am amazed how we survived. How I wished we had found doTERRA back then. We could have done much more for Adam. . We are truly thankful now that we have come to know about these amazing certified pure and therapeutic essential oils. I can’t tell everyone enough how happy and hopeful we are now except to continue to do our little part in sharing the blessings of these gifts of the earth to as many people who can relate to us. It’s real. It works. It’s life changing. Thank you doTERRA. . #adamsautismfamily #doterrafamily #autismfamily #autismlife #meltdowns #calming #essentialoils #calmingoils #oilsforautism #adamlovesdoterra #doterramalaysia #doterra_aof #grateful #thankful #hope @idanixh @raidoterra @arenalieya A post shared by  Iman Wan (@adamsautismfamily) on Dec 19, 2017 at 8:27pm PST

Menenangkan Adam juga merupakan aktiviti harian untuk Iman Wan.

Iman juga sering berkongsi kata-kata semangat dalam membesarkan anak-anak autisme yang menjadi perhatian pengikutnya. Sangat inspiring!

    Good morning all. Love this quote and just like to share with all. Sometimes we take this for granted. I realise there are many out there who don’t have a home or someone to call family who they love and will love them back. If you have these blessings, cherish and protect them always. Remember that they don’t have to be perfect to the world. They just have to be perfect in your heart. Perfection is the ability to see the goodness in everything. I am thankful and grateful. Alhamdulillah. #adamsautismfamily #doterrafamily #autismfamily #autismlife #family #home #love #cherish #gratitude #thankful #protect #oneness #positivevibes @idanixh @raidoterra @arenalieya A post shared by  Iman Wan (@adamsautismfamily) on Dec 13, 2017 at 6:12pm PST

Berikut adalah perkongsian oleh seorang pengguna Facebook tentang Adam dan penyakit yang dihidapnya

Baca status penuh Adlina Sharine Abdillah bawah:This is Adam. He has ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and non verbal. I have shared about him before and i’m sharing again. Adam had his meltdown that his father had to restrain him by pinning him down to the floor. He can’t control his action and the reason for this particular meltdown was because he was hungry as they were on their way to Dave’s Deli to eat his fav spagetti. If people around didn’t know what was going on it may look like the father is treating him badly which is not at all in his case. He might hurt himself and others if he is not managed that way. The first video was his meltdown. The second video is how he was when he has already calmed down. He is a sweet boy and i am big fan of Adam and his family. His third video is when he is ready to enjoy his meal. That’s why people need to see the whole situation. Look how loving and how patience the family is taking care of Adam. So please give all the family that has to go through this situation daily by giving them support by at least not giving them THAT LOOK and if possible approach nicely to the family if they needed any help if it looks like they running out of hands (case by case). If you happen to meet them don’t forget to say hi. Motif Viral has played their part very well as the ig followers has climbed up from 50k to now 86k and the numbers is going up daily. More people will be aware more people will be sharing and more people will be alert and concern. I have had enough of THAT LOOK from people when my boy ZZ had his bad day.Videos from @adamsfamilyautism instagram. Please follow them to see more stories.Update: 5:05pm,27/12/17, @adamsautismfamily ig has now reached 100k followers. Thank you each and every one of you for sharing the post and let us spread more awareness. Hope Adam’s family will read all the wonderful and kind words from all of you.#adamsautismfamily #autism #mysonhasadhd #createawareness

Semoga perkongsian Iman dapat membuka mata ramai pihak tentang autisme dan semoga keluarga beliau terus diberikan ketabahan menjaga anak istimewa seperti Adam

Preacher Ebit Lew To Face Trial For Allegedly Sending Lewd Pics & Texts To A Woman

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

Ebit Irawan Ibrahim Lew, a celebrity preacher more popularly known as Ustaz Ebit Lew, will face trial on 11 charges of sexual harassment

The trial will be held from 27 to 30 September at the Tenom magistrate's court in Sabah, according to a statement from Bukit Aman Corporate Communications head ACP A Skandaguru.The charges against the 37-year-old preacher were filed under Section 509 of the Penal Code.He faces up to five years in prison, a fine, or both if convicted.According to Bukit Aman CID director Datuk Seri Abdul Jalil Hassan, Ebit allegedly sent lewd texts and photos through WhatsApp to a Malay woman between March and July last year.

In February, the preacher pleaded not guilty to all of the charges

At the time, magistrate Nur Asyraf Zolhani at the Circuit Court in the Tenom district office allowed Ebit to be released after he posted bail of RM11,000 — RM1,000 per charge — and two sureties.After he was released on bail, Ebit claimed that people were trying to tarnish his image and credibility as a charity worker and that the charges were a "test from God".He said that the accusations are baseless and were created with an ulterior motive to ruin his credibility.

Why Is Microsoft Suing The Largest Smartphone Maker In The World?

Last Week, Microsoft Filed A Lawsuit Against Samsung, Alleging The Company Has Refused To Pay Interest On Late Patent Royalty Payments And Threatened To Withhold Future Payments

Image via turner.com

In the lawsuit, Microsoft alleges that Samsung not only delayed royalty payments that were due last fall, but also refused to pay interest after finally remitting the late payments.

        slashgear.com

The royalties are tied a three-year-old cross-licensing agreement that calls for Samsung to pay Microsoft an undisclosed fee for every Android smartphone or tablet that Samsung sells. Though Android is a Google offering, Microsoft claims a wide range of patents related to the OS and has signed licensing agreements with many Android device makers.

        informationweek.com

As Part Of A Patent Sharing Agreement, Signed By The Two Tech Powerhouses In 2011, Samsung Is Legally Bound To Pay Microsoft A Royalty Fee For Every Android Phone It Produces

Since 2011, Samsung has increased its smartphone production by 400%, shipping 85 million units in the first quarter of 2014 alone, making Samsung the largest cellphone maker in the world.

        financialbuzz.com

Though the specific financials from the agreement have been redacted, telecom analyst Rick Sherlund of Nomura Securities, estimates Microsoft makes $2 billion a year on royalty fees related to Android based devices (this includes all cell phone manufacturers, not just Samsung).

        informationweek.com

In A Blogpost, Microsoft Stated That Samsung Used Microsoft's Takeover Of Nokia, "As An Excuse To Breach The Contract"

“Today’s legal action is simply to enforce our contract with Samsung,” Microsoft deputy general counsel David Howard said in a blog post. Microsoft said that Samsung has been late paying its patent bills since late last year, following Microsoft’s announcement of the Nokia acquisition, and that the two companies have not been able to come to a resolution.

        financialbuzz.com

The dispute appears to have been prompted by Microsoft's Nokia acquisition
Image via bbcimg.co.uk

Samsung's Argument, As Microsoft Recounts It, Is That The Acquisition Of The Nokia Divisions Means The Cross-Licensing Contract It Signed Is Now Invalid

"Curiously," Microsoft deputy general counsel David Howard writes in a blog post, "Samsung did not ask the court to decide" whether that was actually the case legally, something he suggests was "likely because it knew its position was meritless."

        bbc.com

Meanwhile, Samsung Has Said: "We Will Review The Complaint In Detail And Determine Appropriate Measures In Response"

Image via financialbuzz.com

According To BBC, The Case Marks The First Time That Microsoft Has Launched Legal Action Against Samsung. The Two Companies Have A Long-Running Partnership.

Microsoft’s biggest fear in this lawsuit is that a precedent may be set where other companies will be able to stop making royalty payments to them and causing a massive hemorrhage in revenue stream. Essentially cutting over 9% of their annual revenue of $22 billion.

        financialbuzz.com

Also, According To re/code, The Patent Dispute Lawsuit Could Have Wide-Reaching Impact On The Windows Phone Business

Image via v3.co.uk

If Redmond prevails, Samsung will have to keep paying and will probably owe Microsoft interest on last year’s bill. But should the court find otherwise, Samsung and possibly even other Android makers could be off the hook for those royalties. Au revoir, revenue stream; so long, price advantage for Windows Phone. And Microsoft needs all the leverage it can muster to convince phone makers to build Windows Phone devices.

        recode.net

Thus far, Microsoft has managed to keep most of its current Windows Phone licensees and even added a few more names, but the outcome of this suit could have a lot to say about Windows Phone’s long-term attractiveness as compared to Android. Judging the merits of the dispute is tough. So far, we only have Microsoft’s side of the story, and even the public version of its lawsuit was heavily redacted.

This New Skyscraper Will Soon Be Taller Than KLCC. How Is It Being Built So Fast?

There may be many buildings that are sprouting up all over Klang Valley but all eyes are on one building in Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) in particular - The Exchange 106

Image via Mulia Property Development Sdn Bhd via Malay Mail Online

Formerly known as TRX Signature Tower, The Exchange 106 will be another landmark of the city upon its completion as it will be the tallest building not just in Malaysia but also in the whole of South East Asia, at a height of 492.3 metres with 106 floors and eight basement levels.It will also take over the popular Petronas Twin Towers as the country's tallest building.The lead contractor commissioned for this project owned and developed by Mulia Property Development Sdn Bhd, is China State Construction Engineering Corp Ltd's unit China State Construction Engineering Sdn Bhd.

People who work or live within the vicinity would have noticed that the superstructure that is located in the heart of KL is being built at an amazing pace

Image via Doka

Construction began in 2016 with the pouring of the mat foundation concrete.According to TRX.my, the event was massive - with 20,200 cubic metres of concrete pouring, which is about the size of eight Olympic swimming pools - making it one of the largest concrete pours recorded globally. "The concrete pouring took 48 hours. It involved 120 cement mixers, carrying 8.5 million kg of cement, 16 million kg of sand, 19 million kg of construction aggregates and about two million kg of ice to overcome the extreme heat generated during the process. When hardened, the concrete weighed about 50 million kg," read the excerpt on the site.

Ever since then, the building has been rising fast. As of December 2017, top of the structure is already at 450 metres above ground.

    How you have grown! Exactly one year ago Exchange 106 was less than 10 floors up. Today, EX106 stands at 450m, waiting to take its place as the tallest bulding in Malaysia and SEA. #theexchange106 #muliagroup #trx #tunrazakexchange #kualalumpur #malaysia #skyscraper A post shared by  Mulia Malaysia (@mulia_malaysia) on Dec 18, 2017 at 4:40am PST

The Star Online reported that the construction rate has been rapid, as the building has been rising one floor, every two to three days.Project director Ronald Suckling said that the building has been designed specifically in a way that it could be erected and built quickly, adding that they developed a specific strategy to fast-track its completion. "We started off with a four-day cycle. A full floor completed in everyday four days. Then we move to a three-day cycle. At the top of the building now, we're doing two-day cycles on the concrete floor slabs." It is said that new technologies used in this project such as the tower crane and concrete pump have led to operational efficiency - saving time, labour, and cost.

The project has seen rapid progress as the developers work hard to erect the mammoth building within the tight construction schedule

  A post shared by Abd Khabir Mohd Ali (@portraiturejournal) on Nov 10, 2017 at 7:35pm PST

In a video by the Construction Industry and Development Board (CIDB), it was learned that work has been ongoing at the central core of the tower and the glass cladding is being installed simultaneously. Ying Yue Ming, the Safety Director of the project, said that a meeting is being held every week to discuss issues related to the employee safety.

About 2,000 workers from various nationalities have been working on 22-hour shifts every day of the week

  A post shared by Pixel Brain (@pixelbrainkl) on Dec 9, 2017 at 11:24pm PST

With advanced technology and skilled workforce, The Exchange 106, which stands to be one of the world's most luxurious and efficient office skyscrapers, is on track to be completed by June 2018.

Watch this video by the Construction Industry and Development Board (CIDB) on the construction of The Exchange 106:

This Guy Wore A Pink Tutu All Over The World Just To Make His Wife Smile Through Cancer

This man has gone around the world, dressed in a pink tutu, all to make his wife laugh and raise funds for breast cancer research and treatment

The man has traveled the world in a pink ballerina tutu taking ridiculous - and yet beautiful - photos to keep her spirits up.

Bob Carey is a New York based photographer, and he's been using his professional photography skills and his unique sense of humor to help the Carey Foundation, a nonprofit that covers women's breast cancer related costs.

        cafemom.com

His wife Linda was diagnosed with breast cancer about 10 years ago. The cancer recurred in 2006. He saw the strength of his wife through her fight with the disease.

"I've been in awe of her power, her beauty, and her spirit. Oddly enough, her cancer has taught us that life is good, dealing with it can be hard, and sometimes the very best thing—no, the only thing—we can do to face another day is to laugh at ourselves, and share a laugh with others," Bob writes in the Tutu Project.

WATCH: Bob and Linda share their heartwarming story

      Unsupported video platform

After Linda was diagnosed with breast cancer, Bob began photographing himself in nothing but a pink tutu wanting to make his wife laugh in the midst of her struggle

The resulting work, now referred to as "The Tutu Project," helped lift both his and Linda's spirits and immediately went viral on the Internet in 2012.

        huffingtonpost.com

Linda would share the images with other patients going through chemo and they too would laugh

For Linda, the photos provided an opportunity to laugh, something she said helped keep her positive during treatment. But it wasn't just for her. The photos made EVERYONE laugh.

She was able to bring them in on her phone and show them around so that people could see Bob on the high line in New York City, twirling shirtless in only a tutu.

It's silly. It's not deep. But it makes Linda laugh, and the more she laughs, the "better she feels," said Bob. Amen. That's love. True, true love.

        cafemom.com

Linda said the other women appreciated that Bob was standing out in order to stand by her.

“Oddly enough, her cancer has taught us that life is good, dealing with it can be hard, and sometimes the very best thing — no, the only thing — we can do to face another day is to laugh at ourselves, and share a laugh with others,” Bob said, encouraging people who find themselves in a similar situation.

        rt.com

The idea for "Ballerina," a book, was then born. Inside, a collection of images of Carey donning a pink tutu, but also humorous stories of Carey's adventure while wearing it.

        myfoxphilly.com

"There are so many expenses not covered by insurance, but what's so great is that for every $1,000 raised we can make a significant difference to these women. We'll be able to help with transportation to doctor appointments; wigs; lymphedema sleeves; childcare and counseling," Carey said.

        8newsnow.com

Now it has gone beyond just their personal story and has evolved into something else

Over the years Bob has continued making the photos in various locations (even in the mid of a snow storm) and that’s how The Tutu Project was born inspired by the feedback Bob received.

        ctvnews.ca

Image via buzzfed.com

The Project helps raise money for breast cancer research and is also to support the fund raising efforts of The Carey Foundation for women with breast cancer.

        huffingtonpost.com

Image via buzzfed.com

It strives to bring laughter and understanding to patients and their families. This work now gives hope to others fighting cancer, as his photos have become an art and philanthropic phenomenon.

        voiceofrussia.com

Image via huffpost.com

Funds raised with the support of The Tutu Project, individual and corporate donations are provided directly to organizations that offer assistance with cancer-related costs like transportation to treatment, home care, childcare and medical supplies.

Ayam Brand Hosts Workshop To Teach Kids From Orphanages How To Cook Healthy Meals

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

This Spotlight is sponsored by Ayam Brand.

Believing in the importance of healthy eating for everyone, Ayam Brand recently launched a community outreach programme titled Taste of Comfort, through which they hosted cooking workshops for kids from orphanages around Klang Valley

Image via Ayam Brand (Provided to SAYS)

Hosted by food entrepreneur and TV personality Chef Ili Sulaiman, 55 children from 11 orphanages were invited to attend a cooking workshop at TCH Foodworks, where they were taught all about how to whip up nutritious, easy-to-prepare, and delicious meals.The orphanages involved were Fungates Superflow Foundation, Precious Gem Home, Trinity Children Home, Yayasan Sunbeams Home, Rumah Charis, House of Joy, Rumah Bakti Al-Kausar, Rumah Shalom, Pusat Jagaan Anbe Sivam, Ti – Ratana, and Rumah Kebajikan Anbu Illam.

Taste of Comfort gave underprivileged children the opportunity to learn all about healthy eating and how they can create nutritious dishes filled with comforting flavours

Image via Ayam Brand (Provided to SAYS)

Chef Ili guided the kids in making yummy dishes like D-I-Y Comfort Pizza with saba fish and tuna, as well as Tropical Fruit Smoothie Bowls. Using Ayam Brand's quality canned food that have no added preservatives, MSG, trans fat, and additives, the children will be able to easily replicate these recipes on their own.The children also got to play all kinds of interactive games, which were not only lots of fun, but also taught them important values such as teamwork.

Image via Ayam Brand (Provided to SAYS)

"Cooking is a skill that anyone can learn no matter your age. I'm honoured to partner with Ayam Brand and have the opportunity to educate children about healthy meals and inspire them to unlock their creativity when it comes to cooking. I believe this will be a skill that will follow them every day for the rest of their lives," shared Ili.

Image via Ayam Brand (Provided to SAYS)

To ensure that the kids will be able to enjoy healthy meals, Ayam Brand also donated two months worth of food products to the 11 participating orphanages, as well as an additional 35 orphanages that were unable to attend the event

Image via Ayam Brand (Provided to SAYS)

To enable them to continue exploring the art of cooking, the kids were encouraged to download the 130-Years of Homely Goodness e-recipe book from the Ayam Brand website. In there, they'll find tonnes of local recipes that will serve as inspiration to get creative in the kitchen with Ayam Brand's wide range of food products.One of the products that was included in the donation packages was Ayam Brand's Baked Beans, as it is a favourite amongst kids. Delicious on its own, as a side dish, or as an ingredient, these baked beans pack a nutritious punch — they're a high source of fibre for better gut health, and are also low in fat.

The Taste of Comfort event was held as an extension of Ayam Brand's annual Community Care Campaign, in conjunction with the brand's 130th anniversary celebration

With Taste of Comfort, Ayam Brand is marking their 15th consecutive year of giving back to society."Ayam Brand celebrated our 130 years milestone by offering Malaysians healthy meal options with our wide range of products, and we wanted to also ensure that we provided the underprivileged the same access to healthy food."We truly believe that healthy children and individuals are key to building a thriving society and an even stronger nation.

Pemilik resit sotong goreng RM100 mohon maaf kepada Hameediyah

Difahamkan, pelanggan yang memuat naik resit  harga dua ekor sotong di media sosial itu tampil membuat permohonan maaf kepada pemilik restoran berkenaan.Menurut sumber, Pengarah Restoran Nasi Kandar Hameediyah, Muhammad Riyaaz Syed Ibrahim, mendakwa pelanggan berkenaan memohon maaf kepada pihaknya menerusi mesej di aplikasi WhatsApp pada Rabu.Beliau memberitahu pelanggan wanita itu mengakui memuat naik resit di media sosial, tetapi bukan bertujuan mempertikaiikan harga sotong tersebut. Ianya kerana dia mengakui tahu akan harga hidangan berkenaan.

Malah, dakwanya lagi tindakan wanita itu memuat naik resit tersebut telah disalah faham yang menyebabkan gambar itu disunting oleh pihak lain seolah-olah memberitahu harga hidangan itu terlalu mahal.Namun, katanya, perkara tersebut sedikit sebanyak telah memberi reputasi yang buruk terhadap restoran mereka. Setakat ini pihaknya belum bercadang untuk membuat laporan polis mengenai isu itu.

Hennessy Partners With Beijing Artist Liu Wei To Come Up With Limited Edition CNY Creation

This Spotlight is sponsored by Hennessy.

To usher in the Year of the Ox, renowned French cognac distiller, Hennessy, has collaborated with contemporary Chinese artist, Liu Wei, to design a stunning piece of art

Image via Hennessy

The Year of the Ox symbolises openness, talent, and confidence, all of which are qualities that Maison Hennessy wishes to channel through their significant partnership together with Liu Wei. Thus, Liu Wei was given carte blanche to design a memorable, meaningful Hennessy creation to herald an auspicious season that ushers hope, togetherness, and bright horizons.

Liu Wei is known around the world for his series of beautiful artworks in various mediums including video, installation, sculpturing, painting, and more

Image via Hennessy

The Beijing-based artist has always been heavily influenced by the instability and fluctuation specific to 21st-century China, particularly towards his country's physical and intellectual landscape. Over the years, Liu has become a significant presence in the global art industry for his insightful and stylistic creations. In fact, he has been nominated and won numerous awards for his works, including but not limited to, the Chinese Contemporary Art Award for Best Artist in 2008, Award of Art in China in 2016, and many more.

Diving deep into Maison Hennessy's history and cognac-making to design the Hennessy bottle, Liu Wei discovers that crafting barrels of cognac is an art, and it allows space for infinite imagination

Image via Les Visites Hennessy

When the artist toured the headquarters in Cognac, France, he was fascinated and impressed by the rhythm of life at Maison Hennessy. From the surrounding vineyards to the distilleries, and the Founder's Cellar, Maison Hennessy holds a rich, unique heritage of questioning, exploring, and perfecting a craft."Maison Hennessy is sort of a culture unto itself. In Cognac, I realised how much time and patience it requires crafting a barrel or perfecting a blend. "In a world where so many people work like machines, Maison Hennessy focuses on the excellence of the gesture. We both bring the world’s beauty to life through art: what we create is a contemporary expression of emotion," Liu Wei shared.

Following his eye-opening journey, Liu Wei conceived SPRING, an almost-kaleidoscopic painting that possesses a visual extension of Hennessy cognacs, along with an impartation of joy

Image via Hennessy

Image via Hennessy

The artwork embodies vibrant shades of fuchsia, blue, green, and yellow. With close observation, one would perceive the painting to be organic and spontaneous. In retrospect, Liu Wei depicts the artwork as the fruit of reflection and resistance, a gesture of self-expression, and a creative metaphor for the many directions one may choose to take in life.

Besides that, Liu Wei also designed this beautiful Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège Chinese New Year 2021 Limited Edition Deluxe bottle:

Image via Hennessy Malaysia (Facebook)

Image via Hennessy

The beautiful cognac bottle is donned with Liu Wei's chosen colour palette, expressing Spring's cheerfulness. Upon smelling the cognac, you'll notice some hints of vanilla, clove, and cinnamon, followed by the toasted notes of the aged oak barrels. In terms of taste, you'll get Hennessy V.S.O.P's iconic taste – the strength and smoothness of the cognac.

Meanwhile, Hennessy has also released their Hennessy X.O Chinese New Year 2021 Limited Edition Deluxe bottle:

Image via Hennessy Malaysia (Facebook)

Image via Hennessy

Unlike other Hennessy X.O bottles, this edition gives X.O an aroma of candied fruit combined with a subtle hint of spice. Upon tasting, you'll also notice hints of cocoa, and a warm, fruity presence of X.O.

Hennessy wishes to celebrate Chinese New Year and illuminate 2021 with hope and joy

Additionally, you can also be part of Hennessy Malaysia's social movement by sharing an illuminating moment of yourself this year. Here's how you can participate:1. Post two pictures on Instagram, one nostalgic photo of yourself from 2020, and another coloured photo of an illuminated moment coming into 2021 with hope and possibilities 2. Include these hashtags – #HennessyMY and #IlluminateCNY20213. Make sure your profile is set to public

You can get more cool and exciting updates on Hennessy's Facebook page
