The best bookstores in KL

E-books may be taking over the world, but brick-and-mortar bookstores will always be special because you can never replace the joy of a paperback in your backpack. Live vicariously through your favourite characters at these best bookstores in the city. 

Cite Book Garden

Cite (magazine publisher, champion of local and Singaporean writers, and the biggest Chinese online bookstore in the country) opened a physical bookstore in the form of Cite Book Garden, a small store designed for bibliophiles to relax and browse at length. The book garden features actual plants by way of hanging potted ferns by the window, a few chairs where readers can sit and read, a wall displaying the magazines they publish (ranging from fashion glossies like Vivi to the Chinese edition of National Geographic), a wide selection of titles from Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China, and even a small café (they once offered coffee workshops partnering with Exhibit Café from TTDI). The second floor houses an event space for readings, talks, activities for kids, and more.

Cara semakan nama peminjam blacklist CTOS dan CCRIS

Individu yang gagal membuat pinjaman daripada perbankan dan institusi kewangan lain dengan alasan nama disenaraihitamkan (blacklist) CTOS dan CCRIS dinasihatkan menggunakan saluran yang betul untuk membuat semakan status bagi mengetahui sama ada benar-benar terlibat dengan masalah berkenaan. 

Apa yang kami lihat di internet ramai individu menggunakan ruangan komen di blog tertentu yang memberi info semakan CTOS dan CCRIS dengan mendedahkan maklumat peribadi mereka seperti no kad pengenalan. 

Sebagai peringatan, tindakan itu adalah kurang bijak kerana pihak atau admin blog itu tidak dapat membantu anda bagi membuat semakan laporan kredit sama ada nama anda sebagai peminjam atau penjamin di senaraihitamkan melainkan anda sendiri yang berusaha untuk berhubung dengan pihak atau agensi terlibat melalui saluran yang betul. 

Sekiranya anda memberikan butiran penting identiti, contohnya seperti nama penuh, alamat, no telefon, atau no kad pengenalan di ruang komen tersebut, secara tidak langsung ia terdedah kepada umum dan akan membuka peluang pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab menyalahgunakan butiran peribadi dengan mengambil kesempatan terhadap masalah yang dihadapi oleh anda. 

Terdapat beberapa kes, dimana ada pihak atau individu yang tidak bertanggungjawab akan tampil mengambil kesempatan kononnya bagi menolong menyelesaikan masalah dengan mengenakan bayaran tertentu malah ada yang akan menghantar SMS bertujuan untuk menakut-nakutkan mereka yang menghadapi masalah ini. 

Dari mana mereka mendapat butiran maklumat untuk menghubungi anda?, salah satunya adalah daripada sikap ambil mudah anda dengan mendedahkan maklumat tersebut seperti yang kami nyatakan sebelum ini. 

Sehubungan dengan itu, anda dinasihatkan berhati-hati dan menggunakan saluran yang betul untuk tujuan tersebut.

Posisi Seks Yang Anda Inginkan??

Kalau korang baca Kamasutra, mesti korang dapat banyak idea untuk posisi-posisi hubungan seks yang boleh korang terokai. Tetapi, antara banyak-banyak posisi seks yang diketahui, terdapat enam posisi seks yang diminati oleh ramai pasangan Melayu.

Berikut disenaraikan posisi seks tersebut.

1. Posisi Seks Missionary

Dalam posisi seks missionary, lelaki berada di atas, manakala perempuan berada di bawah. Posisi seks ini adalah posisi seks yang paling banyak di amalkan kerana sudah lumrah sifat lelaki untuk menjadi ketua atau memimpin. Jadi dalam posisi seks ini, lelaki mengetuai, dan “in control”. Posisi seks ini juga memudahkan lelaki memasukkan zakar ke dalam kemaluan pasangannya.

Rambut Cik Abang Cepat Gugur? Cuba Rawat Dengan Minum Kopi

Berapa banyakkah manfaat yang boleh didapati seseorang lelaki daripada kafein? Terlalu banyak, kata seorang saintis Jerman.

Hasil kajian yang beliau lakukan dengan kerjasama institut penyelidikan dan klinik Jerman mendapati minuman penyegar tubuh itu juga mampu mencegah keguguran rambut dalam kalangan lelaki.

Dr Adolf Klenk, ketua Bahagian Penyelidikan dan Pembangunan Dr Kurt Wolff, berkata kajian itu menunjukkan bukti bahawa apabila kafein menembusi jauh ke dalam umbi rambut, ia akan melindungi rambut daripada kesan negatif testosteron dan keguguran rambut secara pramatang.

BR1M : For The Better Or Worse?

1Malaysia People’s Aid (BR1M) programme was first devised by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in 2012 as part of the Government’s effort to ease the burden of the lower income group in Malaysia. This programme was devised to help the lower income group cushion the high cost of living in Malaysia. BR1M is also part of the Government’s Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) to turn Malaysia into a high income nation.

It was not surprising, though disappointing to hear that BR1M will be continued in Budget 2016, even with 95% of respondents we polled who received BR1M said that the amount is not enough to cover the rising cost of living. So, why does the Government continue to give handouts to the low income group?

Let’s start with why it is actually a good idea.

How Company Culture Shapes Employee Motivation

In a recent strategy meeting we attended with the leaders of a Fortune-500 company, the word “culture” came up 27 times in 90 minutes. Business leaders believe a strong organizational culture is critical to success, yet culture tends to feel like some magic force that few know how to control. So most executives manage it according to their intuition.

We’ve found that answering three questions can help transform culture from a mystery to a science: 1) How does culture drive performance? 2) What is culture worth? 3) What processes in an organization affect culture? In this article, we address each of these to show how leaders can engineer high-performing organizational cultures — and measure their impact on the bottom line.

How does culture drive performance?

After surveying over 20,000 workers around the world, analyzing 50 major companies, conducting scores of experiments, and scouring the landscape of academic research in a range of disciplines, we came to one conclusion: Why we work determines how well we work.
