Mushrooms and onions are the perfect compliment to steak, plus they add bulk without added calories or fat. A great example of using steak as a condiment.

4 Ways To Simplify Insurance Planning For Your Growing Family

Being a parent means a life full of joy and love, but at times, with a dash of sacrifice and a few heaps of sleepless nights plagued with worries. And us, parents won’t have it any other way.

Even when we are not around our kids, we constantly think about them and wonder what they are up to. Perhaps nothing can really take away the constant worries, but if we prepare for it sufficiently, we can be better equipped at providing the best for our children.

If one of the family members is ill, the last thing a parent wants to worry about is money. As a parent we want to be able to afford the best care and the best treatment – without a second thought. However, the truth is, medical treatment has become so expensive in recent years that in such a situation, money is the first problem that we have to tackle.

One of the most effective ways to prepare for such eventualities is by building an adequate insurance portfolio, not just for the children, but for the entire family.

How do you ensure that your insurance portfolio stand the test of time? Starting and raising a family are expensive affairs. One wrong move can result in a financial hit that may take years to recover from, which is why you need to ensure your insurance planning is able to withstand any stress as your children grow up.

Here are a few things you need to consider to ensure your insurance portfolio for the whole family is financially sustainable:

Smoking vs Vaping : How Much Is It Really Costing You

The recent price hike for cigarettes have caused an uproar among the smokers in Malaysia with some brands going up as high as RM18 per box. On the other hand, a recent crackdown on vape juices (e-liquids) with nicotine by the Health Ministry has also caused outrage amongst vape store owners who have had their stocks confiscated by Health Ministry officers.

It was reported that in Selangor alone, over 300 vape stores were raided in the beginning of November. Under the Poisons Act 1952, the sale of nicotine can only be undertaken by licensed pharmacists and registered medical practitioners, and is prohibited by other parties. Similarly, under the existing legislation, the sale of e-liquids with nicotine can also only be supplied by registered medical practitioners and licensed pharmacists. However, pharmacists are saying they are not keen on selling vape juices. There have also been calls for vape to be regulated as well as for it to be taxed. The government has announced that it will set up a special committee to look into vaping. It is also interesting to note that the vape industry in Malaysia is worth half a billion ringgit and is the second largest in the world after the American market.

How to Manage Your Time on a Chaotic, Irregular Schedule

 

Not everyone works 9-5. When you schedule doesn't fit into neat little boxes, it can require some special skills to keep everything in order. Here are some tactics you can use to keep your energy up and maintain a bit of control.

In a past life, I worked as a video producer, writing, shooting, and editing short films. Anyone who's worked in this field for more than a day can tell you that regular hours are not something you keep. Some days you'll work 16 hours straight, other days you'll shoot for three hours in the middle of the night because that's the only time everyone's free. Developing skills to manage a chaotic schedule becomes incredibly important when you can't know when you're working from week to week (and, notably, these skills transfer very well to working multiple jobs and/or retail).

Zaid Ibrahim On Tun Dr Mahathir

The following is the transcript of Zaid Ibrahim's speech given at the Royal Selangor Club luncheon. It is also on Zaid's Blog here:

Thank you, Mr President, for allowing me the opportunity to speak to members of the Royal Selangor Club about what lies ahead for the country. I was once a member of this special Club. I have fond memories of the Long Bar as a special meeting place for lawyers and businessmen, where good spirits and conversation could always be found.

Today we have a Prime Minister who is not only embroiled in a financial scandal the magnitude of which the world has not seen before – he has also deliberately obstructed the machinery of Government from carrying out its duties.

The Government of Malaysia is today run by Prime Minister Najib Razak’s lackeys, and he himself has become dangerous as a leader of this nation.

Fraser’s Hill : A Cool and Calming Getaway

Though overshadowed by the more popular and developed Cameron Highlands Hill Station, Fraser’s Hill quietly beckons, offering those in seek of solace a cool and calming getaway, just a short drive from Malaysia’s chaotic capital.

In this day and age, when travellers want to cram in as much as possible within as short a time as possible, it’s comforting to actually find places where there is very little to do. Many of us enjoy weekend escapes because of some attraction or activity, but Fraser’s Hill (Bukit Fraser) appeals mostly because it is a destination to simply kick back, relax, and enjoy the cool mountain air.

However, on closer inspection, there are actually many activities here ranging from jungle trekking to birdwatching, but if you are simply seeking a place where you can put your feet up and read a book then Fraser’s Hill is perfect.Visitors can walk in comfort in the cool air around the rarely used roads to admire gardens and colonial

bungalows, many of which are now retained by large Malaysian corporations. Because it is not hot and humid, Fraser’s Hill is a good place for physical activity such as hiking, playing golf on the nine-hole public course, tennis, cycling and horse riding. The circuitous road from Kuala Kubu Bharu to the summit is very popular with cyclists who cycle from the bottom to the top to develop strength and stamina.

Those masked men among us

Pretentious people with masks are all around us. Can we not see them? Or do we choose not to?

Lately there are so many people masking themselves, pretending to be who they are not.

Did you hear about the lady in Algeria who was sued by her husband because she wasn’t who she pretended to be? The husband thought he had married a beautiful, gorgeous woman but once those inches of foundation and make-up came off, he got a fright looking at what was left of her.

If you remember, there was also a case of a man in China who sued his wife for failing to disclose that she had undergone a series of plastic surgeries prior to marriage. He claimed to have fathered three ‘ugly’ children due to his wife’s ‘cheating’ .

Azalina, shit Najib lebih busuk daripada shit Mahathir!

Azalina Othman Said

Berbaloi juga Najib Razak membawa masuk semula bekas puteri Umno Azalina Othman Said ke dalam kebinet. Tidak pasti kenapa dahulu Azlina digugurkan dari jemaah menteri, dan kini dia dibawa masuk semula. Apakah Najib dapat merasakan kabinetnya semacam kekurangan tanpa Azalina?

Apakah Azalina digugurkan dahulu kerana menteri itu ada siasatan oleh SPRM yang membabitkan wang ratusan ribu ringgit yang ditemui dalam kereta bekas Setiausaha Politiknya? Azalina juga turut sama dikaitkan dengan satu projek dibawah kementerian Pelancongan yang dipegangnya yang menimbulkan keraguan. 

Apakah kemasukan semula Azlina ke dalam kabinet itu menunjukkan menteri yang belum berkahwin tetapi mempunyai seorang anak lelaki itu sudah suci dan bersih dari nifah politik?
