Keep fit to prevent flu

Well, if you are one of those who are not into regular exercise, maybe it is time to change that.

Research shows that regular exercise bolsters immunity to colds and flu, and sporty types who do not succumb to colds tend to get off lightly.

New research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found people who were physically active on five or more days a week were ill for almost half the time of those who managed only one workout in a week. Cold symptoms were also up to 41% less severe in the very fit.

I guess that just give me an extra reason to get on my running shoe for the run again...

Finding inner strength





For those of you who know the Tasmanian devil, you will know of the extremely active, wild and energetic cartoon...probably one of the most active in Looney Toons...but even then, this image shows the moment where this little devil felt tired...and this is exactly what I feel like right now...

Feeling extremely tired the last week...went for an event in Goldcoast Sepang, where we stayed in Golden Palm Tree Resort.
Just when I thought I could rest during this weekend, something happened that means rest is not an option.
I had to attend the wake for my grandma as she just passed away. While there was not much to be done, my entire family members have to be there.
I find myself not having enough sleep and the rest I long for...but it was at this time that I have to learn to persevere...the inner strength needed to stay strong.
Even as the new week starts, I want to learn to embrace every single moment of my life, that my life is not about results, but about the journey in gaining some while failing many others...

Golden Palm Tree Resort

The entire last week was almost spent in the Golden Palm Tree Resort as I went there with my company to prepare for an event for Top 200 GSMs under Great Eastern. 

Well, I couldn't believe the rate was about 1k per night until I read this on the internet. 


1.3k per night? Honestly, I find it to be overvalued. Anyway, here is the experience of staying in the place, minus the workload there.


Well, since I'm there for work purposes, my first visit was to the Secretariat room. Honestly, the impression was good enough. The room was spacious and a beauty.
 







Well, we have to consider going back to our room as it is quite a distance from the Lobby and the Grand Ballroom. 

This is what we used for moving from one place to another most of the time...

The buggy car service is quite good...

Well, this is the bed that I sleep in...


Check out the living room in the villa...





 


And if you switch on the TV, you get to choose a lot of things...the movies that you want to watch, ask for room service, order foods and even shopping.



Check this out....there is a greeting to my boss here....


I even manage to sneak some time to go for a walk in the beach...

This is the snapshots I have taken using my iPhone...










Well, overall, I don't find the money worthwhile....1k per night?? The swimming pool is small and while the service is good, there are a lot of flies when you go to the clubhouse for a drink or makan. 


The clubhouse closes about 12 which means no nightlife here...there are some makan places outside the resort but I wouldn't recommend going as I find it a bit dangerous. 


Nevertheless, the environment and the place is really a good one for couples to spend the night over....a romantic environment! 


Well, if you don't think 1k is a lot, then Golden Palm Tree Resort might just be the right one for you to go to enjoy your quiet holiday.

Positive Habit 3: Be Energetic

This is something that is very crucial...the first 2 positive habits talk about knowing oneself from the inside out and setting the right priority by eliminating certain burdens. 


Today, I just wanna share something that I believe will make one irresistibly attractive. If you are in the "Dating Game" or wondering how to make people like you, the one thing for sure will help you is energy. Being energetic is so crucial because we are all energy fields....energy is all around us. It's invisible and yet it's real. It is very powerful. One's energy will determine how one live to be successful, from the inside out. 
The best way to put it is this: your energy extends around you and bumps against the person next to you. The person's energy next to you bumps against you and your energy.


And if you notice people around you, it is likely that if you are an energetic and optimistic person, you will attract the same kind of people to you, and that's where the phrase: birds of a feather flock together...




Are you energetic?

OR

Tired?

The question that we need asking is how to be energetic? Here are a few simple tips that can go a long way in helping you achieve that:



  • Listen to upbeat music. Becoming energetic is no magical trick...one of the easiest way is to tune in to fast and upbeat music. This will cause you to want to tap your feet and swirl around...trust me, in no time, you'll find yourself all energized.
  • Go out in the open air. If working in an office is stressful, take some time off to walk out into the open air. A relaxing outdoor activity or a fresh air can refreshes your senses and help you to mentally active again.
  • Drinking water....if you have not heard it, then you must miss something important...water is the elixir of life. Take a glass or two to hydrate your body...don't be surprised....water helps to boost your energy level!!
  • Stretches. Most of us are so tired and uncomfortable with the reflexes of our muscles...bad postures are the main culprit for such uneasiness and tiredness. A few stretches help to flex your muscles and it will release the required energy to your system.
  • Meditation. I'm not a big fan of meditation but I believe it works since I've read a lot about it from the internet. I don't find meditation helpful as I normally fall asleep by meditation but I used prayer instead...probably prayer is another type of meditation? 
Anyway, I guess 5 easy tips on how to regain the energy and boost energy level will be enough. It will be hard to practice all 5 ways to energize oneself, but how about trying one for a week....don't be surprise at how much it will help you...and don't forget, energy helps to attract people!

Grandma's birthday

Sometimes it could feel amazingly taxing to be going for Chinese cuisine style dinner especially when I am not a fan of that kind of food...
Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable experience to be spending the night and dinner with my family, for my granny's birthday...

Took another photo in the car while waiting to fetch YenLeng...

Park moving to QPR

After years of staying with the Red Devils, it seems that now is the right time to say goodbye to one of Reds most hardworking midfielder, Park Ji Sung...and it seems that the player will be heading to QPR...



QPR have announced that a press conference for local and international media will take place on Monday, with chairman Tony Fernandes, vice-chairman Amit Bhatia and manager Mark Hughes all set to attend. The announcement will reportedly "put the QPR brand on a global scale". The press conference could be related to the club's ongoing look for a new stadium, although reports on Friday morning also suggested that the club were closing in on a South Korean signing.

Should he sign, Park would become the fifth player to arrive at Loftus Road this summer - following the captures of Robert Green, Andy Johnson, Ryan Nelsen and the permanent signing of midfielder Samba Diakite.

If Park Ji Sung, the Red Devils will wish the player all the best and a thank you for the contribution and the hardwork put in...

The Amazing Spiderman

"With great power comes great responsibility."

If you are a Spidey fan, then you will know the importance of this statement...the trademark of our superhero, Spiderman...while the previous Spidey movies have been pretty much a flaw, I am quite sure that the most recent one will not fail...

After all, it is Andrew Garfield playing the role as Peter Parker....really am looking forward for this.


Get ready to be entertained...this might just be the best Spider-Man movie you will see for now...and from the trailer, it sure looks darn good...

And guess what, I'll be watching it pretty soon...
