Must be my habit of Googling pregnancy related stuff and found out about it. And so, my search began for a prenatal yoga classes in Ipoh. Alas, I couldn&#39;t find any and almost thought it didn&#39;t exist in Malaysia. But then, I found out there were a bunch of classes offered in KL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: &amp;quot;roboto&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;I finally decided to ask in the Reddit forum and someone mentioned to check out Namu Yoga in Ipoh. Next stop--&amp;gt; Namu Yoga Facebook page. Since the page existed, I contacted the person via messenger. At that moment, no classes were running but scheduled to start in November.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot; /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: &amp;quot;roboto&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;So, I joined my first class in November. I got so excited about it and was hoping it wouldn&#39;t be the boring stuff.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot; /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: &amp;quot;roboto&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;I continued going for yoga until the first week of March. The teacher, Jia Ern (just call her J) is such a lovely teacher. She makes the class fun, at the same time providing really good info about yoga and what&#39;s happening to your pregnant body. She does have quite a good sense of humour too!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot; /&gt;

I mean, after the busy weekend and Monday blues, going for yoga while I was pregnant kind of helped me to &#39;reset&#39; or rather, calm down and relax to begin another awesome week of being pregnant. I just think it&#39;s really a good time to just drop everything and focus on myself. The class also gave me the chance to expand my circle of friends as moms-to-be connect and share their experiences.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot; /&gt;

Pregnancy yoga is safe when done right and J is a certified yoga teacher. She knows what she&#39;s doing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot; /&gt;

You can always check with your doctor first). At this point of writing, I know that J is the only one offering pregnancy yoga in Ipoh.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;Warded to maternity ward in Ipoh GH, Hospital
Raja Permaisuri Bainun around 2pm-ish in 2nd class ward (4-bedded room, no air
cond)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;Can&#39;t exactly remember time of following events
but changed into pink ward clothes and started with a CTG scan for 20 minutes.
Later, doctor came (probably after dinner time) to check cervix opening
(obviously it was still tightly shut) and insert a branula on right hand. Was
slightly anxious but managed to relax, breathe and do affirmations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;Every now and then nurse came to do BP check.
All normal. Later that night (probably after midnight), nurse informed that I
will be induced at 6am. I set my alarm for 5.30am and slept with whatever time
I could as I was not sure what&#39;s going to happen the next day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;8 March 2019, Friday&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;I woke up at 5.30am as my alarm rang and I
freshen up while waiting anxiously. Shortly, a nurse came to take my BP and
told me to get ready to go soon. I packed only the necessary things in my tote
bag (maternity pad, panties, baby&#39;s cloths pampers, some packed cupcakes) and
left the rest of the things at my bedside cabinet. I waited and waited but
unfortunately, I think they kinda messed up the schedule. The nurse was kind
enough to bring me Milo and nasi lemak for breakfast before I got to the
Prostin room (though I did munch of some of my packed food already).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;The nurse told me to go straight to the Prostin
room after breakfast. By the time i got there, it was roughly about 8am.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;8am - Prostin room&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;2 beds in the room. There was already an Indian
lady next to me. The nurse came later to explain all the procedure. Her name
was Kumathi, she was very nice. She also mentioned no handphones, only for
emergency to call husband. I was quite disappointed as I wanted to listen to
some relaxing music. But since I was practicing hypnobirthing, I just did my
relaxation breathing instead.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;Shortly (probably about 8.15am), a doctor came
to check my opening and then inserted the pill to induce labour. My cervix was
quite high, so, she had trouble locating it. But she was the nicest and most
gentle doctor. Of course, I was slightly scared a first, but I remembered and
told myself that my entire body has to relax, otherwise, I will definitely feel
the pain. So, I did relax and consciously breathe the way I have been
practicing and there wasn&#39;t much pain. After she had inserted it, she left and
the nurse explained that I can&#39;t go anywhere for 1 hour (no walking, no toilet
breaks). So, I just lay down there on the bed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;9.15am - CTG Scan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;9.40am - After that 1 hour and CTG scan, the
nurse allowed (and encouraged) me to walk out of the room. Apparently, walking
can help to fasten the opening. So, I walked out of the room towards the
waiting area where dear husband was waiting. Just seeing him and talking to him
made me relaxed and calm. Didn&#39;t feel much contractions yet at this time. Could
only stay out for an hour before I had to get back in the Prostin room.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;10.40am - Back in Prostin room and nurse did CTG
scan again. I was consciously, calmly breathing, just like how I&#39;ve practiced
at home using the hypnobirthing technique.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;11.10am - Could walk out of the Prostin room
again but this time I was not out too long as lunch would be served soon
(around 11.30am). Still not much contractions. Contractions was quite far apart
and not intense.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;11.45am - Back in Prostin room and had lunch.
Can&#39;t remember what was served. Hmm.... But it wasn&#39;t that bad though. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;1.30pm - CTG scan again. CTG scans are done at
the 1st, 3rd and 5th hour after insertion of the pill.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;3pm - doctor came to check opening but opening
was just 0.5cm, cervix dilation 1cm. Long way to go. Second pill inserted and
this time the doctor was pretty rough down there. Hated her.. Jeez.... The pill
insertion seems to be more painful that the contractions I was having. Again,
my cervix was still pretty high up there. But I still remained calm and relaxed
because I couldn&#39;t afford to tense up my muscles. Tensing up my muscles and
pelvic floor would just make the pain worse. So, I just chill and breathe and
let them do their job.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;So, from 3pm, the same process takes place for
another 6 hours. First hour, just lying in bed, CTG scan at 1st, 3rd and 5th
hour, and whenever I could, i&#39;d just go out and see my husband who was
patiently waiting for me. But after the second pill insertion, i felt the
contractions kicking in within the first 10 minutes. But still bearable. All I
did was breathe the way I had practiced all this while. It helped me focus on
my breathing than the contractions. Whenever I could go out, I&#39;d do squats to
help open up my pelvic area.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;Everytime I &quot;appeared&quot; in the waiting
area, people waiting seems to look at me one kind... Haha... They might
probably be wondering how the heck I&#39;m still out and about walking. As I was
walking out one time, a nurse asked, &quot;Tak beranak lagi?&quot; Haha...
Around tea time, husband and MIL (mother-in-law) brought coconut water
(supposed to help with the dilation or contractions, I think). Husband left for
dinner after that and came back later around 7.30pm. I asked him to bring me
McChicken &amp;amp; Fries!!! Haha.... Yeah, because the nurses keep telling me to
eat as long as I can since I can&#39;t bring in food into the labour room later on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;Anyway, somewhere in between, the Indian lady
next to me was pushed to the OT for C-section. Her induction wasn&#39;t working
apparently. A Malay lady took her place shortly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;By 9pm (the 6th hour), a specialist came to see
me to check my opening. First question she asked the houseman that was there,
what&#39;s my contraction like. At that time, it was 4 contractions in 10 minutes,
45 seconds each. Upon hearing that, the specialist turned to me and said,
&quot;That&#39;s quite strong but you look very calm.&quot; I was perplexed for
awhile and then, I smiled at her and shrugged my shoulders. I just didn&#39;t know
how to respond to her comment. But in my head I was like &quot;Duh!!! You are
so textbook!&quot; Honestly, this is where hypnobirthing really helps. Anyway,
my opening was still 0.5cm, dilation 1.5cm. I was like, &quot;WHAT????!!!!&quot;
Anyway, she said she will come and see me again at 1am to check my progress.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;In the meantime, I ate my McChicken and fries
that my loving husband bought for me. A nurse came in while I was eating and
smiled at me. I smiled back. It was quite an awkward moment. A woman in labour,
eating McDonald&#39;s.. haha.. they probably rarely see this case in government
hospitals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;Somewhere in between (can&#39;t remember now whether
it was before or after 9pm, probably before), the Malay lady next to me
painfully informed the nurse &quot;Nurse, air dah tumpah&quot;. The nurse was
in a rush to get the doctors, the MO rushed in with a bunch of houseman
doctors. It was pretty intense for awhile as the Malay lady delivered right
beside me. After some time, a doctor peeped over to my side and asked, &quot;You
takut tak?&quot; and of course, I said no because I was just chillin&#39;. But I
did feel a little weird. They just didn&#39;t have time to push her to the labour
room. Everything was done in the Prostin room and she delivered quite fast and
well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;9 March 2019, Saturday&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;1am - MO came to check but I said I was waiting
for the specialist instead. So, she didn&#39;t check me. Oh, good... I didn&#39;t want
too many doctors checking my down there too many times. Like I said, checking
down there was more painful than the contractions. By then, I was already
bleeding (but apparently it&#39;s normal because they keep checking).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;3am - I wondered what happened to the specialist
but apparently I think she was in the OT and so, an MO came to check me and I
allowed it because I wanted to sleep. She checked and I still wasn&#39;t
progressing. They said they&#39;ll check back in the morning but not going to
insert another pill because I&#39;m already having contractions. Contraction pain
was starting to kick in but still bearable when I consciously breathe. But for
the sake of having energy to push my baby out the next day, I thought I better
get some good rest and so, I asked for a painkiller and slept soundly for about
3 hours. FYI, the room was pretty cold that I asked for a second blanket!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;6am - nurse woke me up to check my BP. Later
doctor came to check my opening again and somehow I progressed a little bit.
Opening 1 cm, dilation 2 or 3cm (not sure what they wrote in the report, but
from their conversation, it&#39;s like they couldn&#39;t really decide exactly). Anyway,
they decided to push me to the labour room. Before that, i packed my things and
a nurse served me breakfast to eat before I entered the labour room. But she
didn&#39;t really give me a peaceful time to eat. She was like &quot;quickly
eat.&quot; I did and grateful that they were kind enough to serve me breakfast
first. They also informed me that the doctors will have to do an artificial
rupture of the membrane (ARM - water bag) before calling my hubby into the
labour room. They also injected antibiotic as I was GBS positive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;8am - Labour room&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;Some houseman doctors was there. They started
the procedure of the ARM. A junior houseman (I believe so) tried and couldn&#39;t
get it. She was taking forever to get it done but still couldn&#39;t. She let a
senior MO/houseman to do it and finally she managed. It took some time to get
it though, probably because my cervix was still high. Was it painful? Not
really. I just made sure I remained calm and relaxed and breathe so that my
muscles around the area don&#39;t tense up to cause pain. After that, she also drained out my urine (about 20ml) because I was restricted from going to the toilet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;Shortly after that, my hubby came into the room.
A nurse put on the drip for me (syntocinon) and was doing a CTG scan. Soon, i
started feeling more intense contractions. I asked my hubby to help me with
counter-pressure exercise. That helped but later the contractions got worse so,
I asked for another dose of painkiller. Painkillers can only be taken 6 hours
apart. While waiting for the painkiller, I started grunting in pain but hubby
was there to remind me to breathe. I kept hearing my yoga teacher&#39;s advice
&quot;Always come back home (your breath)&quot; and my another guru, T. Harv
Eker &quot;Dont lose your center&quot;. &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://almost-about.blogspot.com/2019/06/pregnancy-yoga-in-ipoh.html&quot;&gt;More about my pregnancy yoga here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Had no idea what time it was but hubby
said painkiller arrived around 11-ish. I was quite sleepy (probably from the
painkiller and lack of sleep) and started to fall asleep. I was thinking that I
can just sleep until the next &quot;big&quot; contraction. But the nurse saw me
and she said, &quot;Jangan tido. Nanti you nak teran.&quot; I was like
&quot;OK.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;lt;Lost track of time&amp;gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;My eyes was closed most of the time now but not
sleeping. Suddenly I felt quite a &quot;big&quot; contraction and I started
pushing. I told the nurse and she said don&#39;t push yet. It&#39;s not yet time. I
listened to my body and then, listened to her and did not push any further. The
next big contraction, I knew it was time to push. The blogs and YouTube videos
I&#39;ve watched said that you will feel like a strong urge like you&#39;re gonna pass
a &quot;big&quot; motion and that&#39;s when you should push. Didn&#39;t really know
how that felt until now. So, I told the nurse I&#39;m going to push and she quickly
checked my opening and I was already 10cm. That was my first push and then the
doctor said she was going to cut down there. I briefly told them not to, didn&#39;t
have time to explain (my baby&#39;s head is only 8cm and if you allow the tissues
down there to slowly warm up, I wouldn&#39;t tear. Even if I did, I would probably
tear a 1st degree tear. That&#39;s what I train my mind and body to do). Later, my
hubby told them not to do so too. He said they hesitated for awhile but perform
episiotomy anyway. Damn, those doctors. Again, they seem to be very textbook.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;Had my second contraction and I pushed again. By
then, they already performed the episiotomy. The nurse asked me to continue
pushing all the way but I was already out of air. So, I took a quick gasp of
air to continue my J-breathing to push my baby out and I did it!!!! I did it
with just 2 and a half push. The nurse said I knew how to push. Yup, thanks to
hypnobirthing, all the bloggers and YouTubers out there who shared their
experience. Also, thanks to my yoga teacher. &lt;a href=&quot;https://almost-about.blogspot.com/2019/06/pregnancy-yoga-in-ipoh.html&quot;&gt;Yoga &lt;/a&gt;helped me focus on my breathing as well. Done and dusted at 12.17pm. I decided that I wanted to be in the
labour room for only 4 hours. I was slightly over, but pretty close.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;I asked whether it was a girl or boy and they
showed the baby to me instead to identify. It&#39;s girl!! She was so tiny and cute
and they put her on my chest. Shortly, I delivered the placenta and stitching
of the wound was going on. I just relaxed and laid there. Haha... It must have
been the painkiller that made me super sleepy!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;All in all, I was grateful I had quite a smooth
delivery with good experience. The rest is history. It&#39;s all in my head.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;Here&#39;s the takeaway:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;1) Hypnobirthing works and can give you the most
natural birth experience (with lesser&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;medical interventions).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white; color: #202124; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; letter-spacing: 0.1pt;&quot;&gt;2) Decide (months earlier) how long you
want to be in the labour room (what the mind decides, it can be achieved).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #202124; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; letter-spacing: 0.1pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

that I used the last few weeks before my delivery. Continued to use these until the labour room:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #202124; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; letter-spacing: 0.1pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.1pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;I am calm and relaxed at all stages of
labour.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.1pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;Always come back home.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.1pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;Don&#39;t lose your center.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

(Again!)</title><content type='html'>Well, well.... We always meet up like this. After a long while... Well, I&#39;ll tell you a little what&#39;s been going on since my last post here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since my last post, I was busy with my wedding preparations. Yes, I&#39;ve gotten married! In June this year. Then, went for my honeymoon and then settle down in my new house, unpacking and stuffs like that. So, yeah... It&#39;s been pretty busy for me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that I actually got time to write, hopefully I&#39;ll be writing more often now (&lt;i&gt;aside than the fact that I&#39;m also writing lyrics)&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

The title says it all. And by this I don&#39;t mean that you purposely put your information online for everyone to see. Sometimes, you just have to, like on Jobstreet.com.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, today... I found out something. Occasionally, I would simply Google my name to see where my name shows up on Google search. Usually, I would see in on a newspaper website (oh, yes, I&#39;ve appeared on National newspaper before) or some other sites I know I should have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But today, I was shocked to see my name appearing on an unfamiliar website. And I was shocked to see how it had everything. Like literally everything about me. My name, phone number, house address, national exam results, university results (proud of my results, but still these should be private &amp;amp; confidential!), &amp;nbsp;working experience and even my election district! All of these are private information that shouldn&#39;t be online. It maybe be possible that all my university qualifications can be found online (as I have them registered on Jobstreet.com) but it sure as hell not possible to get my election district online! My election district should only be known at the government office.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The website is known as &lt;a href=&quot;http://infowys.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Infowys.com&lt;/a&gt;. Apparently they have people &amp;amp; company databases in quite a number of countries and these databases are actually sold on their website!!! How creepy can this be when you think about it?? Literally your data or someone you know can have your data available online and worst still, impersonate you. The website does have a privacy policy saying that it&#39;s a data-aggregator website with bots running around all the world wide web to search and compile the data on their website but it think that is just to save their ass.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, I&#39;ll make a report to SKMM but in the mean time, I did manage to see who the website belongs to. That is if the registrant information is right.&lt;br /&gt;

So, the Prime Minister of Malaysia commented on the Bersih
4.0 rally saying &lt;i&gt;kita nak sambut Hari
Merdeka, ada pula orang nak tunjuk
perasaan.&lt;/i&gt; Well, in my opinion, the Bersih 4.0 rally is done at just the
right time, 2 days prior to Malaysia’s Independence Day. To me, the Bersih 4.0
rally coincides just nice with this year’s National Day theme “Sehati Sejiwa”
(One Heart, One Soul). You can see many people, regardless of race and
religion, even those in Switzerland and other parts of the world are fighting
for justice and to end corruption in the country.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
I don’t know about the rest of the Malaysian citizenS, but
sometimes when I listen to those patriotic songs, tears fill my eyes – simple
because I know many people have fought to achieve independence for Malaysia and
it’s just a beautiful country. But then, as of today, it’s sad to see too much
corruption, too much discrepancy.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Everyone knows that the government is not just. Otherwise,
there wouldn’t be thousands of people participating in the so-called illegal
Bersih rally. Well, when things get tough, we have to do the right thing to
ensure that Malaysia, being our promise land is back to being a peaceful
country, ruled justly and really unite as One Heart, One Soul. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
May we, the citizens of Malaysia fight for a just and clean government
that is not selfish or that works for self-benefit.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
This is Malaysia, a beautiful and peaceful country, rich with cultures
with a diversity of race and religion. May we fight to keep Malaysia as such.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The Guest Hotel &amp;amp; Spa is located 15-20 minutes from PD Waterfront
in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Being in the 3-star hotel category, it was quite a good
experience when I stayed there. I booked a Twin Room (about RM 240/night –
promo price) and it was quite comfortable. It was furnished with a working
air-conditioning, flat-screen TV, kettle (with only 1 sachet of tea), and a
cupboard. As far as my memory can remember, there were only 2 plug points (power
source), which I think is sufficient.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
The hotel also provided other facilities such as an indoor
swimming pool (kids pool &amp;amp; 4.5ft pool), a steam bath, sauna and a (so-called) Jacuzzi. Oh,
I forgot, a gym too. All these located at Level 1 of the hotel. It’s worth it
if you could use all these facilities during your stay. For free. Cool way to de-stress.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
There was also a spa, Thai Odyssey, which provided services
like half &amp;amp; full body massage, aromatherapy massage, and of the like. Also located
at Level 1, this doesn’t come for free though. You’ll have to pay base of the
kind of massage you want. You can have a visit and check out the packages and
prices they have to offer. You can make an appointment by just calling them
from your hotel room. I didn’t try this out though.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
The hotel is a little far from the city and from the
beaches. So, you can’t actually see the beach from the hotel room. They do have
a balcony room available, but I’m not sure if you can see any beaches even from
there. The beaches are about 20 -30 minutes from the hotel. The nearest would
be PD Waterfront. It’s quite a good place too.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
By the way, the hotel did come with a free breakfast, 7.30am
to 10.30am. Breakfast was not bad I would say. Note that the hotel is also next to Giant hypermarket.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
So, the next time if you’re heading to Port Dickson for a
holiday, try to check out The Guest Hotel &amp;amp; Spa.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I always liked Pizza Hut&#39;s baked rice. So, I decided to order that. Opened up the menu and found out that they have a new kind of baked rice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flaming Prawn Rice (RM 12.70) - Flavoured &amp;nbsp;rice in Arrabiatta sauce, topped with juicy prawns, crabsticks and mozzarella cheese. This is what I got:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.blogger.com/null&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBK7N0UGyycqY4d2VxkyELYkCQ4LgZS0MJiH5NXuU-AfM4nXhnVVh8x9YCFwu-T7kxQwq6vFo2oiXeeU4ZRwPqCCLxSShzBowpD5OTxKl2gtkSrU2dSCy3oIg3K1D-ZP0CDvbkkhV0-xF4/s320/DSC_2876.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looked good with chili flakes. But guess what? Notice the oil on the spoon i scooped out? There was even more of it. Looking at that much of oil, I didn&#39;t feel like even eating it! The taste was so-so due to the oil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I also ordered an appetizer. Mushroom Chicken Treasure (RM 4.90)- Crisp tortilla shells filled with chicken, mushrooms, onion, and tomato salsa!&lt;br /&gt;

Well, there were 3 pieces of it. I decided to eat one piece first before writing about it. This was really good! Forget the side salad because it wasn&#39;t fresh at all! But the tortilla was really good. Eat it immediately when served. Otherwise, you wouldn&#39;t feel the crisp. This was quite good. A good choice to snack on.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.blogger.com/null&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO9Ph469sUtaE5MWccvF9Zyop0AfuM9iX2OEY4nMeylErGnpfJKx2xns03ethjQl7tIcaZpi34xgeUGg-Tj2yvMhgIRKJIufexrnHe8lKHX8UAGqfRn1lvO3ommgtI-AVG3xKZK9_bq7i5/s1600/the-dentist-logo1.jpg&quot; height=&quot;88&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
It was about time for me to go for scaling after about a year from my last dental check up. As I was quite new to the Subang area, I asked my colleague if when knew and would recommend any good dentist around the corner. She took out a card from her purse and passed it to me. It happened to be a dentist which she visited the last time.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
It&#39;s called &quot;The Dentist&quot;. I thought the clinic name itself sounded cool. My colleague did mention that the dentist she met previously, Dr. Siti Marini was a good dentist and was quite gentle too. Visiting the dentist always scares me. So, I always look for those gentle dentists.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
I called up the clinic to make an appointment at 8.30pm. However, the receptionist said that Dr. Siti Marini was not in for the day and Dr. Bala was available. I was a little afraid since this wasn&#39;t the dentist my colleague recommended. But I set the appointment anyway.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
After dinner, I headed over to The Dentist located at USJ 9. I had to wait awhile but it was ok. The receptionist even asked if I wanted something to drink (eg: green tea). Well, I just had plain water while I waited at the waiting area. They were playing Mind Your Language on the tv, so I had quite a good laugh as I waited.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Just so you know, the waiting area is so nice - it literally looks like you&#39;re in a 4 star hotel lobby (not that big though but good setting). It was all so purple-ish and relaxing. Good vibes. It was quite cold though after some time, so, you might want to bring a jacket the next time you visit The Dentist.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Anyway, after I was called in, I met Dr. Bala. He was such a nice dentist and was very much patient and gentle too. I had my wisdom tooth, which wasn&#39;t causing much of a problem other than some slight pain I used to feel occasionally. He easily explained to me the condition of my teeth. My scaling was done so nicely at the slightest feel of pain!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
If I ever had to go back for whatever reason, I would definitely go back to The Dentist (considering if I&#39;m still staying around the area... LOL!). I believe Dr. Siti Marini would be as good as well. Apparently, as of this writing, they only have these two dentists. I would very much likely recommend The Dentist to whoever who needs to see the dentist. On a normal price, scaling &amp;amp; polishing would only cost RM120 (as of 21 April 2015). But there was a promotion, so I actually got it for RM80 =)&lt;/div&gt;

&amp;nbsp;My fiancé took me out on Valentine’s Day to a nice fine
dining place in Ipoh, known as STG Tea House. Located at Taman Kinta, the place looked
so beautiful even from the outside. Looking at the English architecture, &amp;nbsp;I bet it was previously a house turned into a
dining place. They had outdoor and indoor seating. We
took the indoor seating at Level 1.&lt;br /&gt;

As it was Valentine’s Day, apparently they only served the
Valentine’s Day set. Menu looked good!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
We started with the Seared Scallop with Mango Salsa &amp;amp;
Oyster Rockefeller with Beetroot Puree as an appetizer. The oyster is one of the best I&#39;ve tasted
so far. Nicely cooked and not yucky! Of course, they served us drinks before
that.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;Once we finished the appetizer, our plates
were removed and we waited for the next food which came in about 10-15 minutes
later. Cauliflower &amp;amp; Cheese Soup with Herb Garlic Croutons were next. The
soup was thick and creamy. Was definitely filling! It took us some time to
finish that.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Again, once finished, they removed the soup
bowl but this time we had to wait for quite some time. The main course was only
served after about 30 minutes or so. Probably a strategy since the soup was
quite a heavy one. But we were anxiously waiting for the main course.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;There you go – the main course; Mint-Crusted
Lamb Rack, Pepper Duck-Breast (or should I say slices of pepper duck-breast
because there were only 3 slices of it!) &amp;amp; King Prawn Spaghetti, all in one
plate! The portion looked small (I expected bigger!) but turned out to be just
nice! The lamb was tender and juicy! Loved it!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;It was quite bland. I had to add a little

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;All in all, it was a good meal, good vibe
and nice lighting, &lt;i&gt;regardless of the
price!&lt;/i&gt; Yup, as you can see on the menu, it’s written RM108/pax. Per pax can
mean “per person” or “persons”. For a Valentine’s Day meal, per pax should mean
per couple. Rarely does anyone go alone to a fine dining place on Valentine’s

have confused the customers. Plus tax, you could roughly guess how much the
bill was. $$$$$&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;Pulse Soundworks, founded in 2010 by Madan
“Psytrus” Theertha Pathy made its first public appearance on January 22, 2015
at Heli Lounge Bar as a record label. Located in SS18, Subang Jaya, Pulse
Soundworks also functions as a distribution label that looks forward to providing
a user-friendly distribution service.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;Personally working with Madan on my debut
single, &lt;a href=&quot;http://cynthiapinga.com/news/me-and-my-guitar-now-available/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Me and My Guitar&lt;/a&gt; (and definitely more in the future), I strongly
believe that the passionate music-makers behind the Pulse Soundworks label will
be creating new and better experiences for artists in the music industry. I
remember Madan mentioning to me that they provide management, artist
development and marketing services to ensure that “artists do what they do best
without worrying about all the other administrative tasks.” The team has good
knowledge in what they are doing and they are always giving their best to
produce high audio quality and services.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;Pulse Soundworks currently has 5 artists who
have collaborated with them namely &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/ArmonOfficial&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Armon&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/psytrusmusic&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Psytrus&lt;/a&gt;, Alex Chandran, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/hardcandyband&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;HardCandy&lt;/a&gt; and
Notyra.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;The best is yet to come for Pulse
Soundworks. Being the new pulse in the music industry, we wish them a
successful journey ahead. #PulseIt&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;I totally remember how I discovered Pulse
Soundworks.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;The moment I got a job in Subang, I gave
myself a little time to settle down and on one hot, sunny Saturday afternoon in
September 2014, I remember how I was looking for a recording studio in SS15 and
at the same time discovering the new place. I walked almost the entire SS15,
searching for a recording studio which my friend recommended – just to find out
it closed down.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;To not disappoint myself, I thought to
myself, “You know what, let’s see if any of the music stores here could suggest
any good recording studios nearby.” I did just that, walking almost from one
end to another in SS15. And I had some people suggesting to me another 2 more
recording studios in SS15, of which I found out to be closed down as well. One
of the recording studio (somewhere opposite INTI College) looked empty even
though the sign board was still there. Totally forgot the name of the studio
but there was a contact number. So, I called the number to ask and the guy said
they are temporarily closed down due to “&lt;i&gt;kompressor
kena curi” &lt;/i&gt;(translation: compressor was stolen). Not sure if it’s up and
running now.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;So, I kinda almost gave up at this time.
Seriously, it was freaking hot that day. But I still gave it a shot to visit
some of the last music stores before leaving. And there I was, in one of the
guitar stores (forgot the name – forgive me, my memory can be bad at times),
and I just asked. Arnold was his name and he suggested, “There’s one in SS18,
you can call the guy. He’s good.” So, I took the number, thanked him and later
called the “guy”. Madan was his name.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;I left SS15 right after that. I was tired.
Though I only had one contact in 2 hours, I trusted Arnold’s words, “&lt;i&gt;he’s good.&lt;/i&gt;” I called Madan and made an
appointment that very night. Upon entering Pulse Soundworks studio that night, it
was kinda creepy – a scribbled looking door, no sign board that it was actually
Pulse Soundworks (until I entered the recording room). I was like, “Really? A
recording studio?” Less did I know that Pulse Soundworks had big realistic dreams in the music industry.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;But after meeting and talking to Madan in
his studio, there was a very positive energy. I could just feel it. (Or was it
the couch I was sitting on? The couch is to die for!!! It’s freaking comfy!) Madan
was nice. He knew his stuff. And everything else, began from there. After about
2 weeks, we came to an agreement and things just fell into place until the
final masterpiece of Me and My Guitar was produced.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Adoration is a moment of silence to experience and be with God.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
As of Holy Thursday this year, 17 March 2014, I was sitting in silence during adoration and a silent prayer spontaneously was said somewhere in my heart. I felt like it was a really good prayer and so, I thought that I might share it with the world. It was in Malay but it&#39;ll try my best to translate it to the English version.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Malay (original prayer):&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Ya Tuhan, aku hambaMu yang sungguh berdosa. Kasihanilah aku dan bawalah aku mengikut jalan suciMu agar perjalanan suciku itu akan menempatkanku di dalam kerajaanMu di syurga.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
English translation:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Oh, my God, I am your sinful servant. Have mercy on me and bring me to follow Your path of holiness so that by following Your holiness I will have a place in Your kingdom in heaven.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think it&#39;s a great prayer and you can say it anytime, anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;
God bless you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

I think it&#39;s so cool... And when I&#39;m up in the air, it&#39;s like &quot;Woo-hoo!!! I&#39;m off the ground, finally!&quot; But before being off the ground, it does not mean that it will be a smooth take-off. It could be a rough one. Some people even feel so scared due to the drastic acceleration for take-off. But once you&#39;re up in the air, you just feel so nice. It&#39;s like you entered a different&amp;nbsp; dimension.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Many of us want to achieve success, we want our lives to take off, we want to be in the sky. But often, we are not ready for a drastic change, an increasing momentum. No one said being in the sky is easy. You&#39;ll have to be ready with what that comes with it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Once you take-off and reach your destination, that would be your best life ever. But remember, you must be ready with whatever that you have to face for you to take-off.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3zUemQ_LqkR0UzrDpVsoe8c7ZbI9rwNArV6OVs0r_zyX-tGmZ-xwosNNDrvrZbK7W4Vj92qgVXK52_XIJ_3NPAq_Fyctn4ei9WqUiF7HA418PbBhTq72rBGEgJoPam6m0NFoAtI-aoMMR/s1600/mooc.png&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
There are many free online courses. Over the internet it is largely known as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC). Some provide certificate and some don’t. But what’s interesting is, with MOOC you not only get to learn these courses blindly. It is structured with a proper syllabus offered by the institute that is providing it. Courses usually have a duration of 6 to 12 weeks.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Moreover, these free online courses can not only add up on your resume/CV in your field but in fact, it is an opportunity for you to grab as it can actually provide you with other skills outside whatever field you majored in college. Perhaps you could do a course while waiting to get into college or when you’re on the hunt for jobs. 
There are many universities and colleges who have partnered with MOOCs websites including Harvard University, MIT, Berklee College of Music, Yale University, Brown University and many other major institutes. The courses offered are non-credit courses.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Some of the major  MOOC websites are as follows:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.coursera.org/&quot;&gt;Coursera.org&lt;/a&gt; (my favorite one as of now)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.edx.org/&quot;&gt;edX.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.open2study.com/&quot;&gt;Open2Study.com&lt;/a&gt; (based in Australia)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.udacity.com/&quot;&gt;Udacity&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;…and many more of which you can Google.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The Future of MOOC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
In my opinion, MOOC might be something that almost everyone will do in the next few years especially in this digital world where every single thing seems to have its own place online. Taking a course in any of these MOOC websites might seem irrelevant to be shown on your CV now. People or employers might take it for granted, but in the future, this will probably be a trend as more people are competing for jobs. The more skills you have outside your field, (sometimes) the higher chance you can get employed.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Besides employment, people of many ages take these courses. For example, perhaps a person at the age of 50 wanted to do something new in his life, MOOC will be one of the best way to kill some time. MOOC will continue to expand and later on, perhaps these courses might be a transferable credit course to the respective institutes.

Adventure sports often appeal to those who love the adrenaline rush. Some take it as a hobby for the love and pleasure of it while others take it as a career opportunity. There is no doubt that this kind of sport is dangerous. However, the degree of danger in adventure sports may vary depending on the difficulty of stunts, geographical factors and the sport itself. Despite the dangers of adventure sports, many championships have been held throughout the world.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;In Malaysia:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Paintball&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Paintball has become one of the most popular adventure sports especially when it comes to hanging out with friends. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
People of various ages tend to engage in this sport for leisure. Competitions have been held at national levels and state levels, usually organised by the Malaysian National Paintball League (MY- NPL). Paintball centres in Malaysia are usually open to public throughout the year. However, early bookings have to be made.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bungee Jump&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Discover &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sunwaylagoon.com/extreme.asp&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Sunway Lagoon’s Extreme Park&lt;/a&gt; (in Selangor) which offers Malaysia’s first bungee jump in the country. Feel the rush when you free fall from 22 meters above the water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;4WD&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
For those who may love the jungle with some dirt, experience the 4WD off-road driving in the terrain of Malaysia at Endau Rompin National Park, Kenyir Lake, Taman Negara and Kuala Kubu Baru. Off-road driving is a year round activity but if you prefer a less muddy experience, the best time would be between the months of March to October.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Whitewater Rafting&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
The difficulty of the Pedas and Slim Rivers is graded as Grade 3 (difficult) while the Selangor River is graded as Grade 4 (very difficult). The Kampar River which has 14 rapids, range between Grade 1 (easy) to Grade 3 (difficult).&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Kitesurfing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Tioman, Balok, Tanjung Resang, Gorek Bay and Cerating are perfect sites between the months of December to March with winds up to 20 knots.&lt;br /&gt;

Today&#39;s sermon was a good one (Gospel Reading, Matt. 5:13-16). So, I decided to write a summary of it. It made me realize that a lot of us do not know what we are capable of in being a messenger of God. So, I&#39;ll basically summarize the sermon here. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Generally, salt has two functions - as flavour &amp;amp; to preserve. The Bible does not say that &quot;you are like salt.&quot; Matt. 5:13&amp;nbsp;clearly says &quot;You &lt;i&gt;are&lt;/i&gt; the salt of the earth...&quot; Hence, us being Christians, we are supposed to spread out and add the &quot;flavour of Christ&quot; to our community so that others may know Christ. Also, in the current world with all bad things happening here and there, we as &quot;salt&quot; should preserve the good things and the good news before it vanish with the worldly things.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Matt. 5:14 says, &quot;You &lt;i&gt;are&lt;/i&gt; the light of the world.&quot; With technology advancing in our world today, we do not depend on sunlight that much. At night we have lights to bright up the place. But what if one day, there&#39;s no electricity? Then in darkness, light, the source of light becomes very important. There&#39;s a lot of people in this world who still live in darkness. As Christians, we have to be the source of light to people so that those who are in darkness may see their light at the end of the tunnel. We never know if even being the dimmest light, could help a person in need in many ways. Matt. 5:16, &quot;Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
So, brothers and sisters in Christ, let us all be salt of the earth and light of the world. Amen!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
God bless you all.&lt;/div&gt;

I&#39;m not from a computer science background, so, everytime I change my blog template and tweak here and there, play around with HTML and CSS, I always learn something new. Today, I&#39;d like to share with you something I just learned.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Blogger does not have a built-in static homepage feature like how some other platforms have. However, it is not&amp;nbsp; impossible to create a static homepage on Blogger. So I did my research and found out, which to me is the simplest way to create a static page on Blogger.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
So, find out how you can &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bloggertipspro.com/2012/06/creating-blogger-static-home-page.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;create a static homepage&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Remember to disable the comments feature on your homepage (because you probably do not want any comments on your homepage, unless otherwise). To disable the comments, go to Pages and select Edit on your Homepage. (Click image to enlarge)&lt;/div&gt;

As I was at my lowest, with a &amp;nbsp;lot of people not believing that I can make it big time in my business, my believe system in myself and in what I was doing become very vulnerable. I almost gave up on what I was doing although I have seen many people around me who have made it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1550371603561867200#&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsLw-kCJTOjIcawmNCivzdtgzR8a4rBQ4gvcdISs1pDK9u_q4XlRbpOF5pMQkfmuDQnRCXEIhq4LEdTUaw521IEXTG4vIzCDgFQGqE6FdRBNOSCI5DCL28IQJLjfyUM7XxyP3W8mBoQH4Y/s320/joel_osteen.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Then on a Friday afternoon, I picked up this one book which I have bought few months back but haven&#39;t started reading. Entitled &quot;It&#39;s Your Time&quot; by Joel Osteen, it changed my thought 101% immediately. The best part is that I started reading it at the exact time I should have and needed it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
The first chapter simply tells me to put my 100% trust in God and that God is in complete control of whatever&#39;s that&#39;s happening. He knows best. The challenges I am facing simply means I am closer to my victory but I just have to keep faith, keep believing, keep doing the right thing and stay strong. And God will keep His promise to those who expect His favor.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
I am doing the right. just a little more of push and God will reward in His favor. I trust in God and in His master plan. Amen.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
I encourage all of you out there, who are on the verge of giving up in what you are doing to take up this book and read it. Though you may feel like you&#39;ve hit rock bottom, you are closer thank you think. If you have had a dream or desire to achieve something in life but your been trying to achieve it and it&#39;s taking a long time, stay in faith and trust God will give it to you. God did not simply put dreams and desires in your heart if He knows you can&#39;t achieve it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Buy &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.joelosteen.com/Pages/Store-Books.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;It&#39;s Your Time (Activate Your Faith, Achieve Your Dreams, and Increase in God&#39;s Favor)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The decision I took to join QNET one year ago has definitely changed my life. And I&#39;m very happy that I took that decision to take control back of my life. The journey with QNET and my team have been an amazing one.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Recently, 5-7 April 2013, I attended a Leadership Camp organised by QNET and The V which was held in Best Western Prima Inland Sea Resort, Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan. That weekend was one of the&amp;nbsp;best&amp;nbsp;weekends I&#39;ve ever had in my life. Being trained by V Managing Director, Pathman Senathirajah &amp;amp; his brother, VP Sathi Senathirajah simply blew my mind. Training was superb by those two&amp;nbsp;millionaires who want to make us successful and financially free like them.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1550371603561867200#&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/c39.0.403.403/p403x403/521728_10151598422495844_951424520_n.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;VP Sathi (left) &amp;amp; VMD Pathman (right)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Throughout that camp, I learned a few things which I would like to share over here. &amp;nbsp;Day 1, we actually had to do our dream board by cutting out pictures from magazines. What I learned is this. All of us have our own dreams. Big dreams. But along the way, when reality comes into the picture and we see that with a salary that can&#39;t afford to buy the Ferrari we dream of, our dreams simply fade away and we forget about it. Here in QNET, I can become a dreamer again. Regardless of your age, family background or even your financial status, it is always not wrong to dream big. Dream big and do actions which can help you achieve your dreams. Age is just a number. Whether you&#39;re 21 or 53 years old, it is always not too late to start dreaming again. You see, that is what I like about QNET. QNET makes me dream again and with QNET, I will be able to achieve things which I thought I could never achieve if I were to work in a 9 to 5 job. I shall always hold on to my dreams, fight for it and don&#39;t doubt my own capabilities. And I will achieve my dreams!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
AMEN!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On very special occasions, send an unforgettable watch gift to your man! A Swiss-made watch with style to make him look more manly. Here are my top 5 suggestions by Bernhard H. Mayer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://almaty.ekomok.kz/content/visitor/images/201210/f20121016205642-1315915457_238735587_2-bernhard-h-mayer-watch-inr50000-chronomax-limited-edition-only-5000pcs-in-world-mumbai.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://almaty.ekomok.kz/content/visitor/images/201210/f20121016205642-1315915457_238735587_2-bernhard-h-mayer-watch-inr50000-chronomax-limited-edition-only-5000pcs-in-world-mumbai.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;1) Chronomax &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bursting with power and strength, it is these two dominating attitudes 
that give this brawny timepiece its name. Chronomax takes its wearer to 
the next level of authoritative style and respect. Luminous numerals, 
chronograph and date, reputable Swiss movement and edgy masculine style 
create unforgettable ensemble to accompany you in all your quests.&lt;br /&gt;

How sure are you that the water you are drinking is safe? I believe most homes do have water filters and it could be using either reverse osmosis (RO), ultrafiltration (UF) or even ultraviolet (UV). Most filtered water, regardless of whatever type of filtration can give you clean water. But which of these water filter is giving you water which is good for your health??&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.qnet.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/HomePure-with-NSF.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://blog.qnet.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/HomePure-with-NSF.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
HomePure water filter gives you good, odorless water as well as produces Pi-water. Pi-water also known as &quot;living water&quot; is a type of water is naturally found in all living bodies including humans, animals and plants. &quot;living water&quot; gives you energy. For example, compare yourself soaking in a swimming pool and at a waterfall. You feel more refreshed and have more energy at a waterfall compared to a swimming pool. Yes, some of you may have said that you have the bouyant force in the swimming pool and everything but I&#39;m a person who can&#39;t swim much. And still I feel more tired in a swimming pool compared to when I&#39;m at a waterfall.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Why??? Simple. Waterfall provides natural water (living water) and water in the swimming pool is actually not living water. Living water provides energy and helps to reduce sicknesses. Now let&#39;s see what the HomePure water filter can do.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
The best thing is that it has&lt;u&gt; &lt;/u&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;7-STAGES of filtration&lt;/u&gt;!!!!! &lt;/b&gt;No electricity needed &amp;amp; low maintenance.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
For a water filter to have 7 stages of filtration usually is not less than RM 5000. Now offered only for RM 2400!!!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
