Taking a good food photo is not that simple, though. It requires thought, planning and a good editing app.
This is where Foodie comes in! The newly launched camera app from LINE is planning to revolutionise how people take food photos.

LINE Corporation, known for its acclaimed instant messaging app, LINE, has launched “Foodie," a new camera app available  free on both iPhone and Android devices, dedicated to taking delicious food photos.

The food camera app, which follows the footsteps of LINE's selfie camera app, offers an array of features with one goal in mind - to make food shots look even more delicious!

B612, the selfie dedicated camera app has surpassed over 100 million downloads worldwide!

What sets Foodie apart from the other camera apps out there? For starters, it has over 24 types of filters dedicated to food photography!

Its 24 types of food filters, aptly named “Meats”, “Sushi”, Cakes” and more, are sure to make your food look better than it is!

Image via LINE

Aside from that, the app’s “best angle” feature also allows users to know through colour when the camera is positioned horizontally above the subject so you can snap away trendy flat lays like those seen in gourmet magazines.

Besides that, the app also includes features like an auto blurring effect to give images the air of SLR photography, as well as brightness adjustment and flashlight feature to increase your shooting options

M'sian Girl Rescued Puppy In Sewer 6 Years Ago & They've Grown Up Together Daily Since

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

When asked to imagine a hero, we would probably visualise an adult who is brave and selfless.
But a Malaysian girl is here to dispel the typecast, as she became a hero at the tender age of four when she saved a puppy from a sewer six years ago.

The story of the now 11-year-old girl, Madhushree, saving a puppy went viral after My Forever Doggo, a platform dedicated to connecting dog shelters to adopters, shared her heroic act on Instagram yesterday, 1 February.Madhushree is the daughter of Malaysian Animal Welfare Association (MAWA Malaysia) founder Mukunnan Sugumaran.In May 2016, Mukunnan heard a noise coming from the drainage behind his house."After checking, the place (sewer) was not accessible by myself or my wife," recounted the father in a TikTok video.The one-minute video shows the sewer hole was so small that only a child could enter it. Thus, little Madhushree crawled into the sewer and came out with a golden-furred puppy, who was only slightly bigger than an adult's palm.

"We asked our little girl if she could help. She said yes and went in without hesitation and brought out a pup," Mukunnan recounted

Madhushree's mother immediately praised her, saying "good girl" as she crawled out of the sewer."She is so adorable," said the little hero after the rescue mission.Mukunnan said it was fortunate that they rescued the puppy in time, who they named Princess Bujji, as it started raining heavily shortly thereafter.

In separate videos, Mukunnan shared moments of Princess Bujji growing up alongside the loving family, with a photo showing the father feeding the smol pup milk in his arms

The videos also show Madhushree lying on a sofa while looking at a tablet, while Princess Bujji slept soundly beside her rescuer.After growing out of her puppy phase, Princess Bujji was spotted rocking a pink shirt with a printed ribbon on it."They played and slept together. Both were best of friends and they are still good friends (today)," the father shared.In the third video of Princess Bujji, she can be seen having her paws up on Mukunnan as if she wanted to be snuggled.She was smiling from ear to ear as Mukunnan petted her, as if to convey that the now beautiful golden-furred angel was extremely happy living in the family's home.

At the time of writing, Princess Bujji's story has been liked over 1,200 times in My Forever Doggo's Instagram post

Many netizens lauded the little girl's selflessness and the father for raising such a kind girl.

Speaking to SAYS, Mukunnan said his non-governmental organisation MAWA Malaysia currently shelters 200 dogs. They constantly need donations and pet supplies to maintain the dog shelter.If you wish to help, you can donate directly to:Persatuan Kebajikan Haiwan MalaysiaMaybank5623 8452 4376Alternatively, you can also donate to their supplier, Pauline Yeoh Poh Ling, from One Pet store at Mahkota Cheras:Yeoh Poh LingMaybank114058058950A bag of supplies costs RM110.

Old Chang Kee Explains What Curry Puff Dots Mean After Customer Asks If Food Was Spoilt

For a while now, many stall owners and pastry shops have used coloured dots as a way to differentiate fillings in pastries and paus

But just because it's common knowledge to a lot of people, it isn't necessarily the same for all, especially for those who are unfamiliar with the brand.

A customer in Singapore recently went viral after thinking that her curry puffs from Old Chang Kee were spoilt because of the green dots on them

She also included photos of the puffs:

In the Facebook post that has since been deleted, the customer wrote:"Bought these new launched 'chicken mushroom pie' from VivoCity branch today. Got a shock to see these green little dots on the pie. Not sure what are them and if they are spoilt? I bought the same from Junction 8 yesterday, and they don't have these greenish dots! (sic)"

Old Chang Kee then responded, explaining that the green dots indicate their 'Chicken Mushroom'O' flavour

Image via Facebook/Mothership

But not before others shared their own cheeky replies:

Image via Facebook/AsiaOne

Jumping on the bandwagon, the Singapore curry puff maker announced a new 11.11 promotion on 3 November

The photo shows different coloured dots on curry puffs and what each colour represents.- No dot is 'Curry'O'- Red dot is 'Sardine'O'- Green dot is 'Chicken Mushroom'O'They also included a fun fact: "Curry puffs are 'dotted' with different colours, for easy identification on the fillings inside the puff. So please be assured that the puffs are safe to eat."

A quick check on Old Chang Kee Malaysia's Facebook page shows that the same colour coding practice is used at their branches in Malaysia.

Syed Saddiq Claims He Is Being Blackmailed With "Sensitive Photos"

Syed Saddiq has lodged a police report at the Subang Jaya district police HQs, claiming he is being blackmailed with "sensitive" photos

The Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) Youth chief claims he was sent the "sensitive photos of a threatening nature" in an apparent bid to silence him.Syed Saddiq held a press conference yesterday, where he said that he received the photos at 1.30am on Wednesday morning, after which he "couldn’t sleep"."Previously, the threat was sent to my father and elder brother. This time around, it is much more personal. It is directed against me."It is not a murder or assault threat, but is of a more personal nature," he said.

Image via Malaysiakini

The photos were sent to him through an app. Syed, however, did not name the app or elaborate on the nature of the photos.

According to a report in Malaysiakini, Syed, who declined to provide any details on the source of the photos, also refused to comment if the photos were lewd in nature.He said that he believed both the blackmail through the photos and the RM5 million offer he previously received to quit Pribumi and leave Malaysia were by the same group.Syed said that came to the conclusion based on the modus operandi being the same, where a threat was followed up with a bribe."This is a typical fear tactic. If they think this will silence me, they are wrong. If they think such a disgusting tactic will frighten me, they are wrong," he added.

Syed claimed that the threats against him were not "death threats" but were more personal in nature, aimed at silencing him

"They think the more they threaten, the more I will follow what they want. But one thing which I have learnt from my family, the more they pressure, the more we fight," he said.

On Monday, 2 October, Syed had claimed that he was offered RM5 million in cash by an aide to the prime minister to leave BERSATU:

These 6 Malaysian Brands Just Couldn't Resist Jumping On The "Crispy Rendang" Bandwagon

Zaleha Kadir Olpin's elimination from Masterchef UK made international headlines after Malaysians caught wind of the fact that the judges called her chicken rendang not 'crispy' enough

Image via Youtube

"The chicken skin isn't crispy, it can't be eaten," Gregg Wallace said to Zaleha when she presented her nasi lemak and chicken rendang to the panel of judges.Malaysians, Indonesians, and Singaporeans took to social media to express their outrage at the judges' disregard for the traditional way of preparing the treasured local dish.

KFC Malaysia took advantage of the piping hot attention surrounding 'Rendang gate' to promote their finger licking good fried chicken

In a playful Facebook post, KFC revealed their new advertisement that simply read, "Not rendang".At the time of writing, the post had received over 16k shares and 23k likes.The ad came shortly after Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad tweeted Masterchef judge John Torode saying that, "Maybe you are confusing chicken rendang with KFC."

Not to miss a valuable marketing opportunity, TGV Cinemas followed suit with an ad for their 'crispy' popcorn chicken

The caption "Know what's right" subtly hints at the unspoken understanding between Malaysians on how rendang should be cooked.The Facebook post garnered 506 shares and 1.3k likes at the time of writing.

MAS chimed in with a post of their on-flight nasi lemak meal that comes with a side of "real" rendang

myBurgerLab joined in on the fun when a Twitter follower brought up their Nasi Lemak Ayam Rendang burger, which was introduced last July

Actually if you wanna try out how a CRISPY ayam rendang tastes like I think @myBurgerLab kind of has that covered already: https://t.co/2zqPgtl5aLGranted if you wanna be pedantic it's not reaaaally rendang but fried chicken + rendang sauce but it's still good.— Max Loh (@Maxsterism) April 3, 2018

How did we get dragged into this? https://t.co/OCcrnsIoHb— myBurgerLab (@myBurgerLab) April 3, 2018

Despite not jumping on the rendang bandwagon on their own, myBurgerLab admitted via their Twitter account that they appreciate the free publicity.

Not really complaining. — myBurgerLab (@myBurgerLab) April 3, 2018

Penang based Spade's Burger introduced a rendang inspired chicken burger to their menu, available for a limited period

Even the Vice-Chancellor of Sunway University decided to poke fun at Rendang Gate with a short video

#RendangGateEnough said!!  Rendang, Definitely Not Crispy.   Message from the Vice-Chancellor, Sunway University Malaysia. #ChickenRendang #Rendang #RendangGatePosted by Sunway University on Tuesday, 3 April 2018

A baker in Kuala Lumpur recently garnered the attention of netizens after she announced an initiative at her bakery that is meant for those struggling financially just so they can find some joy in celebrating birthdays

During an interview with SAYS, the owner of Bakeries Baker n Pastries in Cheras revealed that she started selling birthday cakes for RM5.30 when a regular customer reached out to her while dealing with financial constraints.Nur Rasziah Fhasyarini Sharolanuar, also known as Fasha, said, "Since the start of Movement Control Order 3.0, I started selling cakes for RM5.30 because a regular customer suddenly asked for just one cupcake. She said that she wanted to make it herself, but the ingredients were expensive and her husband was laid off from work. I didn't have the heart to make just one cupcake."

"So I made her one birthday cake. When the cake was done, she asked me how much the cake was and I said that she could pay whatever she wanted. The customer gave me RM5.30 and another RM5 for the delivery runner. That was all she could afford. From there, I thought of selling cakes for RM5.30, which are big enough for entire families to enjoy," she added.In a Facebook post recollecting her conversation with the customer, she mentioned that the woman meant to buy a cupcake for her child who was really craving the dessert. Fasha also noted that her cheapest cake would usually cost RM30.The post went viral and garnered over 1,900 shares and 4,200 likes.

Driver Bas Didakwa 'Overworked' & Pandu Perlahan Untuk Lawan Mengantuk Ini Cetus Kerisauan

Follow kami di Telegram, Instagram dan TikTok SAYS Seismik, jadi antara yang terawal untuk dapatkan berita serta artikel-artikel menarik.

Seorang pemandu bas yang memandu bagi perjalanan jarak jauh merentasi Semenanjung Malaysia ini didakwa terpaksa bekerja berlebihan, menyebabkan dia kurang tidur selama enam hari, sekali gus menjejaskan keselamatan penumpangnya

Menerusi posting yang dimuat naiknya pada hari Ahad, 14 Mei, penumpang bas itu, Shu Ling berkata dalam catatan Facebook bahawa dia pada mulanya marah kerana pemandu itu sangat tidak bertanggungjawab mempertaruhkan nyawa penumpang dengan kekurangan tidurnya.Tetapi apabila dia bertanya untuk lebih lanjut, dia mengetahui tentang majikannya yang didakwa mengeksploitasi adan kemudian menyalahkan syarikat bas  berkenaan untuk pengurusan yang lemah.Shu Ling memberitahu kepada SAYS, dia sebenarnya dalam perjalanan dari Johor ke Perak seorang diri ketika dia menuju ke Thailand untuk bertemu keluarganya untuk bercuti.Dia membeli tiket bas dengan waktu berlepas pada 10.30 malam, tetapi bas hanya tiba pada pukul 2 pagi kemudian.Semasa menaiki bas, dia tidur sebentar sebelum bangun pada pukul 5 pagi untuk memeriksa di mana dia berada.

Shu Ling berkongsikan video perjalanannya dengan pemandu bas yang kurang tidur itu di media sosial.
Image via 舒灵 - Shu Ling (Facebook)

Shu Ling terkejut dan dia menyedari bahawa bas itu tidak bergerak jauh kerana ia kelihatan memandu dengan lesu pada kelajuan 30kmsj

Shu Ling berkata setiap penumpang sedang tidur pada masa itu.Dia mengesyaki ada sesuatu yang tidak kena dengan pemandu kerana bas itu meluru ke lorong kanan pada satu ketika, menyebabkan sebuah kenderaan membunyikan hon ke arahnya.Susulan itu, dia mengesahkan bahawa pemandu berkenaan pasti benar-benar mengantuk."Melihat pemandu memandu pada kelajuan itu (perlahan) dan tidak melekat di lorongnya, saya semakin gementar dan tidak berani tidur. Saya terus memerhati dan merasakan kami hampir mengalami kemalangan beberapa kali," kata usahawan kecantikan itu.

Shu Ling menggunakan Waze untuk memeriksa kelajuan perjalanan bas.
Image via 舒灵 - Shu Ling (Facebook)

Selepas beberapa ketika, pemandu bas memberitahu penumpang bahawa dia tidak boleh berjaga lagi dan bertanya sama ada dia boleh tidur sebentar selama 30 minit, dan penumpang bersetuju

"Seorang makcik yang baru bangun tidur juga menyedari pemandu bas itu memandu secara berbahaya. Dia bersama seorang kanak-kanak berusia tiga tahun (ketika itu)," kongsi Shu Ling."Jadi, kami meminta pemandu berhenti untuk menukar pemandu lain dan mendapati hanya seorang pemandu di dalam bas. Bas jarak jauh sebenarnya memerlukan dua pemandu! Kami juga berasa tidak berdaya."Tidak lama kemudian, pemandu itu memanggil pemandu bas lain untuk mengambil alih dan membantu mengambil penumpang. Akhirnya, (kebanyakan) penumpang bas itu bertukar ke bas lain," ceritanya.

Image via 舒灵 - Shu Ling (Facebook)

Bagaimanapun, Shu Ling terpaksa kekal di dalam bas bersama dua penumpang lain, kerana bas baharu itu tidak dapat membawanya ke destinasi dituju

Shu Ling memeriksa dan mendapati dirinya berada 30 minit dari destinasi dituju iaitu Sitiawan, Perak, di mana dua penumpang lain juga menuju ke destinasi berkenaan.Walaupun ia adalah laluan terakhir, pemandu bas itu berkata dia tidak dapat meneruskan perjalanan selama 45 minit tambahan sehingga mereka tiba di Sitiawan.Justeru, pemandu bas itu mencadangkan untuk membayar RM80 kepada Shu Ling dan dua lagi penumpang untuk mereka menaiki Grab ke Sitiawan.Kemudian, dia menawarkan lagi untuk memberi Shu Ling tumpangan ke destinasi yang lebih dekat, yang boleh dia uruskan."Kami semua bersetuju demi keselamatan kami," kata Shu Ling.“Dengan jarak yang tinggal sedikit, saya duduk di hadapan bas untuk memulakan perbualan dengan pemandu bas.“Menurut pemandu itu, enam hari dia tidak tidur selain tidur siang satu hingga dua jam sehari. Pemandu itu berkata, dia sudah sampai tahap seperti ada jalan di hadapan walaupun tiada. Semakin saya mendengarnya, semakin saya takut."Pemandu juga bertanya kepada kami, 'Adakah saya dalam perjalanan ke lorong motosikal?' dan 'Adakah terdapat lampu isyarat di hadapan?'," tambahnya.

Image via 舒灵 - Shu Ling (Facebook)

Shu Ling berang selepas mendengar tentang betapa penatnya pemandu bas itu

"Saya bertanya kepada pemandu itu mengapa dia memaksa diri sehingga satu tahap dan mempertaruhkan nyawa keseluruhan bas itu dengan sendiri! Dengan cara ini saya boleh membuat aduan atau melaporkan keadaan kepada Kementerian Sumber Manusia."Dia memberitahu kami bahawa dia telah memandu bas jarak jauh hampir 10 jam semalam, dan dia juga membayar penumpang terakhir semalam untuk menaiki Grab. Kemudian, dia menjemput kami pada pukul 2 pagi.“Pemandu itu berkata, dia memberitahu bosnya sebelum ini bahawa dia sangat letih dan tidak dapat lagi menghantar penumpang bas ini ke destinasi mereka, tetapi syarikat itu menjawab mungkin boleh memandu lagi dan meminta pemandu memandu perlahan."Pemandu itu berkali-kali memberitahu syarikat itu bahawa dia tidak boleh memandu, tetapi mereka memintanya untuk bertahan. Kerana cuti umum, mungkin terdapat kekurangan tenaga kerja," ujar Shu Ling.Shu Ling bersimpati dengan pemandu bas itu pada penghujungnya, menyifatkan dia sebagai 'sleepwalking' semasa memegang stereng bas.Dia kemudian mengimbas kembali kemalangan baru-baru ini melibatkan sebuah bas dan sembilan kenderaan berhampiran Kuala Kangsar, Perak. Usahawan kecantikan itu berkata, dia berharap isu itu dapat diselesaikan segera sebelum lebih banyak tragedi berlaku.Ketika artikel ini ditulis, posting Shu Ling di Facebook telah menjadi tular dengan lebih 3,800 perkongsian. Anda boleh membaca posting penuh di sini.Pihak SAYS telah menghubungi syarikat bas untuk mendapatkan kenyataan rasmi, namun sehingga kini masih belum menerima apa-apa jawapan balas.

TV footage showed a charred tail and wings of the white Fokker 50 propeller plane ripped in half outside the smouldering two-storey building housing several shops

Security personnel secure the scene where a cargo plane crashed into a commercial building at the Utawala estate on the outskirts of Kenya's capital Nairobi, July 2, 2014.

While two guards at the building were injured, the fact that the crash happened around 4 a.m. meant a worse toll was avoided. Four crew members onboard were killed.

Kenyan media reported all four crew members, including a pilot and his assistant, were killed in the crash. "All four on board perished... it hit an electric post before crashing on a building and bursting into flames," a senior police officer told AFP.

The plane was transporting the mild stimulant known as Khat to the Somali capital, Mogadishu, said Joseph Ngisa, the airport's head of police investigations

The plane was understood to be carrying a cargo of the mild stimulant khat (pictured).

According to preliminary investigations, the vehicle was flying low after takeoff and might have hit an electricity pole before the crash. Footage on TV caught the moment of crash displaying how the tail and wings of a white plane ripped in half outside a two-story building, reported Reuters.

        rt.com

The airport was closed for "a few minutes as a matter of procedure," but has now reopened and “is operating normally,” said KAA security chief Eric Kiraithe. Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is the Kenyan capital's main airport, the busiest in East Africa.

Car Battery Died? This Web Service Could Be More Reliable Than Calling Your Friend

Discovering a dead car battery is perhaps one of the most dreadful experiences in life, as it never comes at a convenient time

Often, you're left with two choices - either you call a friend over to help jumpstart your car or you call a mechanic from the workshop. But both options might take too long and you're in a rush! How?

Image via Tumblr

OR you could ditch your car completely and opt for a ride by claiming an RM20 coupon code from Uber Coupons!

This is where The Battery Shop comes in! The startup aims to break away from conventional workshops by delivering car batteries in an hour.

Image via The Battery Shop

The Battery Shop exists for one reason; to get you back on the road quickly and safely. Unlike your average workshop, we use technology and our hearts to deliver exceptional customer service, after sales service, reliability and transparency. And that's because we understand how frustrating it is to have your car broken down. The next time you're having problems with your car, remember, we can be there in sixty minutes.

        thebatteryshop.my

Co-founder Eugene Tan, an accountant by profession, started the business after realising the increasing risk of cars breaking down - which opens up opportunities for scams

What led Eugene to exit the tax accounting industry in Melbourne before setting up The Battery Shop here in Malaysia was the true fact that he finally reached the peak of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs – self-actualisation.“Vehicle breakdowns, not just in Malaysia but everywhere, really, pose great risks to drivers. Just imagine being at your weakest points when trying to deal with your dead vehicle. It’s an open opportunity for mechanic and tow truck scammers as well as thugs and gangsters to victimise you,” he says.

        thebatteryshop.my

So, how does The Battery Shop work? It's pretty simple - all you need to do is to register yourself an account or if it's an emergency, you could call them directly through a hotline.

Image via The Battery Shop

The hotline is available on Monday - Sunday from 6am to 11pm. And here's the thing - delivery is FREE! You would need to pay for the battery, that's all.

The Battery Shop only uses batteries from ATLAS BX, a brand from Korea. All batteries come with 12 months warranty so you won't have to worry about a thing!

Image via The Battery Shop

Prices for a battery ranges from RM200 to RM500, depending on the make and model of your car. Other brands of batteries are also available, by special request.

Worry that the battery can't fit in your car? Use the site's Battery Matcher to find one that fits your car because according to them, size matters.

Image via The Battery Shop

Select your car make and model from the drop-down menu. From the common Proton to the high-end Lamborghini, they got it all covered!

The Battery Shop has fixed over 1,600 cars since it started last year. They are hoping to have a mobile app up and running next year, with hopes to expand to Penang, Johor and Sarawak.

“As we are rapidly expanding, we are looking to hire more technicians and on top of that, we are developing a mobile app which we plan to launch in March next year. In the future, it is most likely to expand its product platter to include car tyres and also intensify its towing services. It was also revealed to us that The Battery Shop is eyeing to expand in other niche markets such as those in Penang, Johor and Sarawak," said Eugene.

11 Top Tips For An Awesome Family Holiday That Will Ensure Less Stress & More Fun For All

1. Pack all the snacks!

Image via Adobe Stock

Travelling can be tiring, boring, and frustrating... for adults! It's infinitely worse for kids. Snacks will not only distract and entertain the children, they'll also give them an energy boost and keep them going for the rest of the journey.Consider wholesome, hearty snacks like fruits, sandwiches, pasta, and buns, as well as a few sweet treats to keep them happy.

2. Choose a comfortable hotel with a lot of amenities like children's swimming pools to keep the little ones occupied

Image via Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa

One of the most sure-fire ways to have a fully enjoyable holiday with kids is to stay at a kid-friendly hotel. That doesn't necessarily mean luxury (although that would be awesome for everyone lol), but cleanliness, comfort, and great amenities like a gorgeous swimming pool are easy ways to keep kids entertained for the whole holiday.

3. Stay in a family-friendly area with easy dining options nearby

Image via iStock

This really depends on your family, but in general, it's advisable to stay away from the backpacker hotspots and loud nightlife if you're travelling with little ones. Do your research beforehand to make sure there's plenty of easy food options within walking distance from your hotel.

4. Book things in advance for the best rates and least stress, especially special packages that include both hotel rooms and theme park tickets!

Image via Sunway Lagoon

If you're planning on going to specific theme parks, museums, nature parks, or farms that require admission tickets, you should definitely buy them online in advance. With the many travel sites, you're sure to find great discounts and packages, plus it's one less thing to think about!For example, the Family Fun Package gives you 15% off on your hotel stay and Sunway Lagoon theme park tickets. The best part is you get MULTIPLE ENTRIES on the same day for the theme park, so you can bring your little ones back to the room for a nap in the afternoon, then return to the park to play afterwards! This is the only package that allows re-entry tickets to Sunway Lagoon Theme Park, find out more here!

5. Plan a detailed itinerary ahead of time so you know where to go, what to see, and where to eat during your holiday

Image via Guillty Mama On The Go

A simple Excel sheet is honestly more than enough to create an itinerary, but if you want something cuter, there are plenty of templates available online for free. Start with what time you plan to leave your home, reach your hotel, and check in. From there, add activities, locations, and times.

6. Buuuut... be flexible and open to last-minute changes, because kids don't care about your itinerary lol

Image via Young Parents

It's always really good to have a plan to refer to. But in case someone is too tired and needs a nap, or someone else wants to stay in the hotel to swim a little longer... just go with the flow. Remember the holiday is supposed to be relaxing for everyone. Forcing kids to follow your Excel sheet isn't going to be fun for anyone :P

7. Buy and pack some new, small toys to bust out during difficult times

Image via Freepik

On top of bringing their favourite toy from home, it's a good idea to buy some new ones too! Buy and pack them without the children knowing so you can surprise them during any particular stressful times such as airport delays, long queues, on-the-edge-of-a-tantrum moments, and so forth. It's an easy way to diffuse situations and keep younger family members happy.

8. Bring basic medication for fever and tummy aches

Image via rawpixel/Unsplash

It's always a good idea to bring basic medication whether you're travelling with children or not. Kids are particularly susceptible to fevers and tummy aches when there are changes in their routine, so be sure to bring along children's paracetemol and even antihistamines just in case. Fingers crossed you won't need them!

9. Allow your child to be the holiday photographer

Image via Tim Gouw/Unsplash

Maximise learning opportunities by giving your little one the partial responsibility of being the holiday photographer! There are lots of affordable digital cameras made especially for children nowadays, or you can use an old camera phone. This allows your child to be creative and really take in the sights of their new surroundings, so they fully appreciate their vacation in a fun and enjoyable way.

10. Always get travel insurance

Image via Chris Benson/Unsplash

Nowadays travel insurance for the entire family is less than RM100. You never know what could happen, and with small ones in tow, it's always better to be safe than sorry. You'll be thankful for spending those few extra dollars if there's a flight delay or your luggage gets lost.

11. Accept that some things WILL. GO. WRONG. And have a great time despite of it!

Image via 123RF

At the end of the day, your kids probably aren't going to remember the historical names and dates of all the amazing sites you bring them to. But what they will remember is the fun, laughter, and joy of being with you. So just take it easy, don't try to squeeze in everything, and enjoy your special family time!

Lelaki Ini Kongsikan 5 Tips Untuk Menunaikan Haji Lebih Awal Pada Usia Muda

Menunaikan haji pada usia muda bukanlah sesuatu perkara yang biasa dalam masyarakat kita. Ini kerana setiap individu yang berdaftar dengan Tabung Haji perlu menunggu giliran mereka yang mana mengambil masa hingga puluhan tahun lamanya.

Bagaimanapun, ia bukanlah perkara yang mustahil untuk dilakukan. Seperti yang dikongsikan oleh pengguna Facebook, Afyan Mat Rawi baru-baru ini, terdapat beberapa tips yang seseorang perlu lakukan sekiranya mahu menunaikan haji lebih awal pada usia muda.

Jom, ikuti perkongsian beliau di bawah:

Ketika saya menulis coretan-coretan pengalaman saya menunaikan haji dalam posting-posting sebelum ini, beberapa orang rakan bertanyakan tips bagaimana saya boleh menunaikan haji lebih awal di usia muda. Sejujurnya, saya sendiri tidak menyangka menerima panggilan-Nya seawal ini, dalam keadaan kurang bersedia.Saya menerima tawaran haji beberapa hari sebelum 1 Syawal yang lepas untuk diberi jawapan dalam masa 14 hari. Selepas menjawab surat tawaran, perlu siapkan dokumen dalam masa kurang 2 minggu. Selepas dokumen dihantar, hanya kira-kira 10 hari lagi tarikh penerbangan. Jadi, persiapan sebelum berangkat ke Tanah Suci hanyalah kira-kira sebulan sahaja. Jadi saya ingin berkongsi beberapa tip yang boleh dijadikan sedikit panduan kepada rakan-rakan berdasarkan pengalaman yang ada. Tuan-Puan dipersilakan tambah jika ada, dan boleh ajukan soalan yang berkaitan. Jika mampu, saya akan respons sebaik mungkin.

        facebook.com

1. Daftar

Ini paling penting, jika hendak pergi menunaikan haji melalui Tabung Haji. Perlu daftar terlebih dahulu melalui Tabung Haji.Ada yang menyangka dengan membuka akaun Tabung Haji, bermakna sudah mendaftar untuk menunaikan haji. Saya pun dahulu menyangka begitu. Tapi sebenarnya bukan begitu.Membuka Tabung Haji bermaksud kita mulakan simpanan di dalam akaun Tabung Haji. Untuk membuka akaun TH, hanya perlukan minimum simpanan RM2 sahaja. Manakala untuk mendaftar giliran menunaikan haji pula, memerlukan minimum simpanan RM1,300 di dalam akaun Tabung Haji. Selepas mempunyai simpanan minima RM1,300 barulah kita layak untuk mendaftar bagi memohon giliran menunaikan haji. Jika sebulan kita simpan RM100, hanya memerlukan setahun sebulan sahaja untuk cukup RM1,300 supaya kita layak mendaftarkan diri untuk menunaikan haji.

        facebook.com

Kita juga boleh gunakan wang KWSP untuk tujuan ini. Dan jika baru hendak daftar sekarang, giliran menunaikan haji sekitar 50 tahun akan datang. Ya, 50 tahun akan datang. Jadi, usah bertangguh untuk mendaftarkan giliran haji. Ketika saya menunaikan haji tempoh hari apabila saya berkongsi tentang perkara ini kepada jemaah negara lain, mereka mengerutkan dahi terkejut. Mereka terkejut apabila mengetahui bahawa jemaah haji di Malaysia perlu "beratur" lama sebelum sampai giliran menunaikan haji.Mungkin ini menunjukkan kesedaran mengenai kepentingan ibadah haji di kalangan umat Islam di Malaysia tinggi berbanding dengan kuota tahunan yang disediakan oleh Arab Saudi untuk Malaysia. Lama? Ya memang lama. Itulah cabaran dan ujian pertama hendak menunaikan haji. Ia sekali gus menunjukkan kita mempunyai iltizam untuk menunaikan haji. Jika kita ada anak yang masih kecil, daftar cepat-cepat. Supaya mereka tidak menerima nasib seperti kita menunggu lama untuk menerima panggilan Baitullah.

        facebook.com

2. Simpanan

Image via Afyan Mat Rawi/Facebook

Kos sebenar untuk menunaikan haji ialah RM19,550.Kita di Malaysia bertuah kerana lebih separuh ditanggung oleh Tabung Haji. Daripada RM19,550, kita hanya perlu membayar RM9,980 apabila hendak menunaikan haji kelak. Selebihnya ditanggung oleh TH.Ya, hanya RM9,980 kos untuk menunaikan haji menggunakan Tabung Haji melalui mu’assasah Arab Saudi. Amaun ini sungguh rendah jika kita bandingkan dengan negara-negara serantau lain seperti Singapura, Thailand, Indonesia dan Brunei yang amaunnya RM20,000 ke atas. Apabila saya berjumpa dengan jemaah haji negara lain, ini antara perkara yang kami bualkan dengan mereka, dan apabila saya maklumkan amaun ini, rata-rata terkejut. 2 kali mereka terkejut; kejutan pertama ialah apabila mengetahui jemaah haji Malaysia perlu menunggu puluhan tahun sebelum mendapat giliran haji. Kejutan kedua apabila mengetahui jemaah haji Malaysia hanya perlu membayar jumlah tidak sampai USD2,500 utk menunaikan haji. Bertuah sungguh rakyat Malaysia! Baik, kembali ke topik simpanan. Langkah seterusnya selepas kita mendaftar haji adalah dengan memastikan kita mempunyai sekurang-kurangnya RM9,980 di dalam akaun Tabung Haji untuk tujuan menunaikan haji. Tidak sampai pun RM10,000. Jika sebulan kita simpan RM100, kira-kira 7 tahun selepas kita daftar haji, duit kita akan cukup RM9,980 dengan anggaran keuntungan purata TH 6%.

3. Rayuan

Langkah seterusnya, ialah membuat rayuan untuk menunaikan haji.Secara normal, tempoh menunggu untuk mendapat giliran menunaikan haji boleh mencecah sehingga 50 tahun.Tempoh ini adalah untuk jemaah yang ingin menunaikan haji menggunakan perkhidmatan Tabung Haji melalui mu'assassah Arab Saudi. Jadi, hendak tak hendak, kita perlu usahakan untuk merayu supaya giliran itu dipercepatkan. Sebab dalam tempoh 10 ke-50 tahun, macam-macam perkara boleh berlaku. Untuk mempercepatkan giliran, kita perlu buat rayuan ke Tabung Haji. Selalunya 3 - 4 bulan sebelum musim haji bermula, pihak Tabung Haji mula memproses surat-surat rayuan dan menghantar surat balas. Jadi, kita perlu menghantar surat rayuan lebih awal. Sebaiknya selepas tamat musim haji, boleh siapkan surat rayuan untuk dihantar. Pengalaman peribadi, saya mula buat rayuan kira-kira 5 - 6 tahun lepas apabila wang di dalam akaun sudah cukup untuk membayar kos menunaikan haji kira-kira RM10,000. Dan setiap tahun juga apabila menerima surat balasan rayuan ditolak oleh Tabung Haji, kami akan hantarkan surat baru ke Tabung Haji untuk merayu menunaikan haji. Alhamdulillah, setelah beberapa tahun merayu akhirnya rayuan kami diterima.

        facebook.com

Setiap tahun pasti ada kuota yang kosong atas pelbagai sebab seperti;- bakal jemaah haji meninggal dunia, - bakal jemaah haji mengandung,- bakal jemaah haji mempunyai masalah kesihatan- bakal jemaah haji menolak atau pelbagai sebab- kuota ditambahBagi tahun 1438 yang lalu, kuota Arab Saudi untuk jemaah Malaysia dikembalikan kepada 27,900 pada Januari 2017, dan kemudian pada Mac 2017, kuota itu bertambah kepada 30,200. Dan yang terkini dimaklumkan, jumlah jemaah haji Malaysia tahun 2017 berjumlah lebih 40,000!!! Jadi ini mungkin menjadi asbab saya dan isteri diterima untuk memenuhi panggilan-Nya tahun ini. Sebaiknya rayuan dilakukan apabila kita sudah cukup wang simpanan untuk membiayai kos haji tadi supaya ada kredit untuk Tabung Haji menerima rayuan kita.

        facebook.com

4. Datang Kursus Haji

Ini tips yang saya terima daripada seorang rakan yang juga jemaah haji.Apabila kita menghadiri kursus haji yang dianjurkan oleh Tabung Haji melalui masjid-masjid dalam kariah kita, nama kita akan dimasukkan dalam senarai kehadiran. Jadi, ia memberi kredit kepada kita apabila pihak Tabung Haji membuat penilaian terhadap rayuan haji kita. Perkara ini tidak pernah saya sahkan dengan Tabung Haji. Ia berdasarkan pengalaman peribadi seorang jemaah yang saya temui. Jika ada mana-mana pegawai Tabung Haji berkenaan yang membaca tulisan ini, mohon berikan maklum balas.

        facebook.com

5. Doa

Ini merupakan harapan utama dan terakhir jika kita benar-benar berhasrat untuk menunaikan haji. Pergantungan kepada ALLAH adalah segala-galanya.Sebaik sahaja kita sudah cukup wang di dalam akaun Tabung Haji, berdoalah supaya ALLAH memanggil kita menemui-Nya.Setiap kali bulan Ramadhan pula, ambil kesempatan untuk berdoa supaya giliran kita dipercepatkan ke musim haji tahun berkenaan yang tiba sebulan selepas Ramadhan. Doa ini bukan bermaksud doa sebelum musim haji sahaja. Terus-terusan berdoa sehingga hari-hari akhir penerbangan jemaah haji Malaysia ke Arab Saudi. Ada jemaah haji yang menerima panggilan Tabung Haji kira-kira seminggu sebelum penerbangan! Ya, seminggu sahaja untuk memberi jawapan dan membuat persiapan. Jadi, jangan berhenti berdoa. Allah pun sudah berjanji akan memakbulkan doa hamba-Nya, dengan pelbagai cara. Pengalaman peribadi, kebetulan saya menunaikan umrah buat kali pertama pada Januari 2017, saya berdoa setiap hari agar Allah memanggil saya lagi untuk kembali datang ke rumah-Nya pada setiap lokasi mustajab di Masjidil Haram dan Masjidil Nabawi. Sungguh tidak disangka-sangka, Allah penuhi permintaan saya dengan cara ini; panggilan untuk menunaikan haji.

        facebook.com

Manakala, isteri saya pula berdoa setiap malam pada bulan Ramadhan sebelum musim haji. Ketika itu beliau sedang berpantang dan selalu berjaga malam menyusukan bayi. Jadi, ada kebarangkalian salah satu doanya jatuh pada malam yang lebih baik dari seribu bulan; Lailatul Qadar.Ada banyak kisah jemaah haji yang menerima jemputan-Nya dgn pelbagai cara.Ada jemaah haji muda dapat menunaikan haji sebagai mahram ibunya kerana ayahnya yg patut pergi bersama baru meninggal dunia. Ada juga suami yg lambat daftar haji tapi disebabkan isterinya daftar lebih awal dan dapat giliran, si suami dapat pergi sebagai mahram. Dalam masa sama, ada juga yg punya wang ratus-ratus ribu tapi masih belum terima panggilan-Nya. Ada juga seorang sahabat saya katanya sudah ikut semua tip yang saya kongsikan di atas, malah beberapa tahun sertai kursus haji. Tapi masih belum ada rezeki dijemput oleh-Nya. Malah ada juga yg sudah terima surat tawaran, sudah buat persediaan, kenduri doa selamat, datang ke Tabung Haji Kelana Jaya tapi tak dapat pergi sebab visa gagal dikeluarkan. Point penting di sini; jangan berhenti berdoa. Sekian, terima kasih.

Naps are life. They are everything.

While most get sleep lines from clothes, pillowcases, or sleeping in a weird position, one kid was accidentally left with an imprint of a cicak

On 21 February, Twitter user @menlin_fitri tweeted two photos of a kid in Taiwan, who apparently fell asleep on a lizard while doing his homework.

Judge Cuts Offender's 1,050-Year Jail Term To 42 As Previous Sentence Was 'Unreasonable'

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

A man who was handed a 1,050-year jail sentence for raping his underaged stepdaughter had it set aside yesterday, 7 March at the Klang High Court

Judge Datuk Azmi Abdullah reduced the jail term to 42 years after allowing an appeal by the 34-year-old accused who, in January 2021, had pleaded guilty to 105 charges of raping his stepdaughter. The sentence was amended to 14 years in jail for each year the offences were committed in, namely 2018, 2019, and 2020.However, the Sessions Court's sentence of 24 whippings was upheld.Azmi called the sentence handed down by the Sessions Court judge an emotional judgment and excessive, reported Bernama.

The High Court judge added that the 1,050-year prison term is "unreasonable as it is unlikely to be served"

"Even the age of 100 is rarely reached by people in the world," he said, thus, the appellant is unlikely to reach that age. Klang Sessions Court judge Datin M Kunasundary had imposed the punishment at the trial. In her judgment, Kunasundary had said the offence was abominable and had blighted the child's future, reported The Star.Azmi said in terms of punishment, Section 377B of the Penal Code (rape offence) provides that the jail term that can be imposed is up to 20 years."The Sessions Court judge, in this case, used the discretion for all the 10-year jail sentences to run consecutively, and this made the sentence a staggering 1,050 years in prison, a number that can be said to be a record in our country," he explained."So far, there is no rule that says that total punishment that can be imposed cannot exceed a number that is considered a maximum. However, the court during its sentencing needs to assess many factors," he said.

The accused was convicted of raping his stepdaughter who was only 12 years old at the time

The then 33-year-old was found guilty of committing the offences from January 2018 to February 2020 at a house in Sungai Way, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.The prosecution was conducted by Deputy Public Prosecutor Aimi Syazwani Sarmin while the appellant was represented by lawyers V Vemal Arasan and KA Ramu.

Nokia Has Risen From The Dead With The N1, An Android Powered Tablet

Nokia may have sold off it's phone division to Microsoft, but that doesn't mean it's dead. In a surprise move, Nokia announced the N1, an Android powered tablet.

Sebastian Nystrom, head of product business at Nokia Technologies, presents N1, Nokia's new Android tablet, at the Slush 2014 event in Helsinki November 18, 2014.
Image via Reuters

Nokia is launching an Android-powered tablet, marking the Finnish company's return to consumer electronics. The surprise launch pits the firm against Microsoft, which completed its takeover of Nokia's previous mobile-devices business in April.

        bbc.com

"Don’t write Nokia off just yet" was the message coming out of Helsinki this morning as the Nokia N1 tablet was being unveiled. In spite of selling its device business to Microsoft earlier this year and swearing off putting its name on smartphones until 2016, Nokia wishes to be seen as the same driver of mobile innovation that it’s always been.

        theverge.com

The iPad lookalike will be running on Android's latest software, the Lollipop, and the device will be produced by Chinese manufacturer Foxconn

Image via wordpress.com

Nokia has released the N1, a iPad-like small tablet with an aluminum shell, a 7.9-inch screen and the Android Lollipop OS. Selling for $249, it will be sold first in China by way of a manufacturing and distribution partnership with Foxconn and initially at least will be WiFi-only.

        techcrunch.com

Nokia, a name which was once synonymous with mobile phones until first Apple and then Samsung Electronics eclipsed the Finnish company with the advent of smart phones, said the manufacturing, distribution and sales of the new N1 tablet, will be handled under license by Taiwan's Foxconn.

The device will be priced at USD249 and will be sold first in China in the first quarter next year, right before Chinese New Year

Image via androidauthority.net

The aluminum-cased N1, which runs on Google's Android Lollipop operating software but features Nokia's new Z Launcher intelligent home screen interface, is due to be in stores in China in the first quarter of next year for an estimated price of $249 before taxes, with sales to other markets to follow.

        reuters.com

Set to cost around $250, the 7.9-inch N1 tablet will be on sale in China before Chinese New Year -- 19 February 2015. Prices and release dates for other countries were not announced, but that US dollar price converts to around £160 or AU$290.

        cnet.com

The Nokia N1 will cost $250 and launch in China initially, starting in February. Nokia says the device will be in stores in time for the Chinese New Year (February 19, 2015). After that, Nokia plans to introduce the device to Russia and some European countries, markets where historically it had the biggest influence and where the Nokia brand is still highly valued by consumers.

        androidauthority.com

Although manufactured by Foxconn, Nokia will ensure that the quality of the products meets the company's standards

Image via cbsistatic.com

Unlike Polaroid or Kodak, who have been doing this name licensing thing for many years now, Nokia will employ some strict quality controls for any device that anyone wants to make and sell under the Nokia brand. This started with the N1, actually. Aside from the brand, Nokia contributed the design too - and Foxconn will be paying it royalties for both the name and the design. And just like the N1, all upcoming devices bearing the Nokia brand should look and feel as good as if they were built by Nokia itself.

        gsmarena.com

The tablet is 6.9mm thck and comes equipped with a 8-megapixel camera on the back and a 5-megapixel camera on the front

Image via androidauthority.net

The N1 is encased in a 6.9mm thick one-piece aluminium frame, in either dark grey or silver -- which, it must be said, looks distinctly similar to Apple's iPad Mini 3. It has an 8-megapixel camera on the back and a 5-megapixel snapper on the front, with 32GB of storage for apps, snaps, music and movies.

        cnet.com

At its Slush 2014 conference in Finland, Nokia just introduced the N1, a brand new tablet running Android. The device features a sleek all-aluminum design, a 7.9-inch laminated display, a 64-bit quad-core Intel Atom Z358, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, an 8MP rear camera, a 5MP front-facing camera, and a 5,300 mAh battery. Full specs:- 7.9-inch, 2048×1536 (4:3) IPS LCD with Gorilla Glass 3 and fully laminated zero air gap display- 64-bit 2.3GHz Intel Atom Z3580 processor, PowerVR G6430 GPU with 2GB RAM- 32GB built-in memory (non-expandable)- 8 megapixel rear camera, 5 megapixel front camera- Dual channel 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi with MIMO, Bluetooth 4.0- Micro-USB 2.0 with a Type-C reversible connector- Stereo speakers- 5300mAh battery

        androidauthority.com

The tablet comes equipped with a USB Type-C socket, which is a reversible USB port so you can plug in whichever way it is

Image via windowsblog.in

One of the most interesting things about the tablet is that it's one of the first devices to boast a USB Type-C socket -- that's a reversible USB port so you can stick the plug in either way round.

What Is Mo Far Kor Actually And Why Do People Eat It When Feeling Nauseous?

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

If you grew up in Malaysia during the '90s or often experience travel sickness, chances are that you've tried this local snack

Image via Greedy Piggy Wiggy

Known as Mo Far Kor or Jeruk Memasin, this black and white obituary-looking packet holds one of the tastiest 'cures' for colds and travel sickness. Always feel like puking on planes, boats, or in cars? The acidity in this tidbit is a lifesaver to help relieve dizziness and nausea.

The best part is that it still exists today and can be found in many local sundry shops. But what is mo far kor exactly?

For starters, the founder of the snack is Cheong Chee Ming, who started the Cheong Chee Ming Industry in 1945, which deals with tropical fruits. This includes planting, transportation, and manufacturing of dried fruit products.So in that case, mo far kor should be some kind of fruit, right? Although it's infamously known as the founder's tahi hidung (nose poop) because of how it looks and its salty taste, that's obviously just a rumour.The packaging's ingredient description is pretty vague, stating that "it contains natural  herbs and liquorice, which helps to soothe your throat and prevent bad breath."According to Sinar, mo far kor, which means 'non-flowering fruit' in Cantonese, is made out of a fruit grown on the calabash tree. Contrary to its translation, however, the calabash tree produces purplish-white, tubular flowers.

The calabash tree is found mainly in the Caribbean, parts of Africa, as well as Central and South America.
Image via Urban Tropicals

The calabash fruit has a green hard shell on the outside with a white, spongey pulp (kind of like mushrooms) and edible black seeds inside

It's said to have a slightly sour and bitter taste with very little flavour. And it is traditionally used for medicines.

Image via Wildcat Sailorgirl

According to this article translation, mo far kor is instead referred to as dried figs.On a different mo far kor brand, the ingredients listed are also figs, papaya, sugar, salt, citric acid, and permitted preservatives.

Image via Sinar

So essentially, the tasty snack we know and love today is made with some type of dried fruit (be it calabash or dried fig), sugar, salt, and herbs.

Speaking of traditional remedies, did you grow up on any of these?

Pasangan Ini Tinggalkan Dunia Kerjaya & Jelajah Dengan Campervan. Betul-Betul #LifeGoals!

Setiap seseorang itu mempunyai idea dan cara tersendiri untuk menjalani kehidupan masing-masing

Namun kebanyakan antara kita memilih untuk bekerja bersungguh-sungguh di kala masih muda dan bertenaga ini untuk betul-betul berehat apabila sudah bersara nanti.

Image via Ikim FM

Bahkan persaraan merupakan satu fasa yang dinanti-nantikan oleh ramai orang. Manakan tidak, setelah berhenti kerja, seseorang itu tidak perlu lagi fikir tentang urusan pekerjaan.Kebanyakan masa akan diisi dengan pelbagai aktiviti seperti beribadat, belajar ilmu baru, bercucuk tanam dan juga melancong. Itulah bayangan yang ideal bagi fasa persaraan.

Berbeza dengan pasangan Samantha Khoo, 43, dan suaminya, Rene Sullivan, 45, yang memilih untuk 'bersara' awal dengan meninggalkan terus kehidupan bekerjaya untuk menjalani kehidupan yang jauh lebih ringkas

Image via Facebook 24 Hour Travellers

Samantha dan Rene yang masing-masing berasal dari Malaysia dan Singapura telah menjual sebahagian besar harta termasuk premis pejabat dan perabot rumah untuk mengembara sepenuh masa menggunakan campervan di samping singgah dari satu tempat ke tempat lain. Samantha yang juga bekas pengarah filem syarikat produksi dan pemilik studio fotografi manakala Rene yang bekerja sebagai komposer muzik dan memiliki syarikat sendiri, menutup sepenuhnya perniagaan mereka awal tahun lalu.

Image via Facebook 24 Hour Travellers

Pasangan yang sudah berkahwin selama 20 tahun itu menggelar diri mereka 24 Hour Travellers

Menurut Samantha, dia dan suaminya tidak menyesal bekerja selama ini kerana hakikatnya pekerjaan itu yang membolehkan mereka mengumpul wang yang cukup lalu membuat keputusan menjalani kehidupan secara berkelana ini.Jikalau sebelum ini, wang yang diperoleh dari hasil bekerja digunakan untuk perkara yang bukan keperluan seperti membeli pakaian dan perabot selain mengekalkan gaya hidup, kini kehidupan mereka jauh lebih tenang serta menjimatkan ekoran penurunan kos perbelanjaan harian serta bulanan disebabkan tidak perlu membeli banyak barang keperluan rumah atau pakaian baru.

Image via Facebook 24 Hour Travellers

“Kehidupan sekarang ringkas, kami belajar membezakan antara keperluan dan kehendak.“Kami tidak perlukan banyak barang atau pakaian dan bersyukur dengan apa yang ada. Kami lebih menghargai perkara kecil dalam hidup termasuk air dan elektrik,” katanya seperti yang dilaporkan akhbar Harian Metro.

Untuk menjalani kehidupan ini, Samantha dan Rene telah memberli sebuah van Toyota LiteAce Premio terpakai dan mengubahsuainya menjadi campervan yang lengkap dengan bekalan elektrik tenaga solar, ruang tidur, serta kabinet barang dan dapur kecil

Image via Facebook 24 Hour Travellers

Selepas beberapa bulan, mereka memasang set khemah rooftop tent di atas bumbung van berkenaan sebagai alternatif tempat tidur yang lebih luas dan selesa terutama apabila berkhemah di kawasan pantai atau tepi sungai.“Gaya hidup minimalis dan mengembara menggunakan campervan membuatkan kami lebih menghargai alam semula jadi yang indah.“Kami juga menikmati kebebasan tanpa perlu terkejar-kejar untuk kembali melakukan rutin pekerjaan seperti sebelum ini,” ujarnya.

Image via Facebook 24 Hour Travellers

Samantha dan Rene selalunya akan berkhemah di tempat yang mempunyai kemudahan tandas dan bekalan air. Walaupun begitu, mereka turut membawa tandas mudah alih untuk waktu kecemasan.

Kedua pasangan ini merancang untuk mengembara menaiki campervan itu menggunakan jalan darat ke London tidak lama lagi dan kini dalam proses membuat persediaan menghadapi perjalanan jauh itu yang mungkin mengambil masa sehingga enam bulan

“Kami mahu menikmati sepenuhnya perjalanan dan pengembaraan itu dengan singgah di mana-mana tempat atau negara yang disukai dan meluangkan masa yang lama di situ,” kata Rene.

Image via Facebook 24 Hour Travellers

Samantha dan Rene aktif mencari dana untuk perjalanan itu melalui platform dalam talian termasuk YouTube, Patreon, Facebook dan laman web.Menurut mereka, platform terbabit juga digunakan untuk berkongsi kisah pengembaraan selain aktiviti campervan di Malaysia yang kini semakin mendapat perhatian terutama golongan yang mahu menikmati percutian lebih bebas, mencabar dan menjimatkan.

Boleh lihat di bawah antara video-video penjelajahan Samantha dan Rene:
