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.

10 Simple Steps to Make the Most of Every Day

“Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things.” – Booker T. Washington

Our lives are a large collection of single days one right after the other. The sun rises, the sun sets, and it rises again. And in the end, the lives we chose to live will be determined by how we choose to spend each day.

Unfortunately, for most of my life, I embraced little intentionality in my days. I survived each new day, but made little effort to make the most of it. Instead, they simply just came and went… and many were wasted.

But over the past few years, my views have changed. I have begun to view each day as an important gift. I have sought to embrace each one individually and discover the potential that it holds. After all, some may get more days than others, but each of us have been given this one. And we ought to be making the most of it.

Facts You Need to Know About Your Blood Pressure

Simply put, your blood pressure is the force that the blood makes against the walls of your blood vessels each time your heart pumps. It is important to know what your blood pressure is. This allows you to determine whether it is within the normal range or not, allowing you to spring into action in case it is high. Having high blood pressure puts you at risk of heart attack, stroke and many other health problems.

Measuring your blood pressure on a regular basis is important. Aside from having it done at a doctor’s office, it may also be performed at home. Such is carried out with the help of a blood pressure meter or sphygmomanometer. Aside from something that features a mechanical or mercury manometer, there’s also a wrist blood pressure monitor available these days for easy taking of your blood pressure. However, this device is very sensitive to your body position, potentially causing an inaccurate reading or result.

Easy Ways to Take Care of Your Hair

Designer clothing, perfectly applied makeup, and fine jewelry are all wasted if your hair looks greasy, dull, or messy. Fortunately, no one needs a hair salon or expensive hair products to have hair that looks professionally cared for and styled. With the right techniques for shampooing, drying, and styling your hair, it can be among your most attractive features.

We’ll provide some useful hair-care tips in this article, starting with the basics.

1. Keep it Healthy

• Don’t tie your hair back too tightly and never when it is wet. This stretches the hair shaft, causing it to break and split.
• Do eat foods rich in skin and hair enhancing essential fatty acids. By taking care of your diet, the state of your inner health will reflect in the condition of your hair. Be kind to yourself.
• Don’t over-style. Experts recommend using a blow dryer only for special occasions. At the end of your styling session, switch to cold air. This closes the hair shaft, leaving the hair smooth, glossy and shiny.
• Don’t forget to keep regular scheduled appointments with your stylist. Making an appointment for a trim every 4 to 6 weeks will leave your hair in tiptop condition

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.

How Much Do Top Politicians In Malaysia Earn?

3 Golongan Yang Hampir Ke Syurga Tapi Masuk Neraka

Terdapat 3 golongan yang hampir-hampir melangkah masuk ke dalam syurga, namun akhirnya dia dilemparkan ke dalam api neraka... Nauzubillah...

Dia hampir melangkah masuk ke dalam syurga, tapi sebelum dia melangkah, ALLAH bertanya kepadanya.

“Wahai Mujahid, kenapa kamu masuk ke dalam syurga?”

Berkatalah oleh dia kepada ALLAH, “Aku masuk ke dalam syurga kerana aku mati syahid, kerana berjuang ke jalanMu ya ALLAH. “

First MRT Line is 65% Complete

Artist Rendering of MRT Station

The Kuala Lumpur Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) project is a part of the government’s economic transformation programme. Anyone driving in and around Kuala Lumpur could not have failed to see the construction, although the company has done a reasonably good job of keeping the traffic moving despite the line running alongside (or in the middle of) major roads.

The project will eventually consist of three lines. The first line will run from Sungai Buloh to Kajang. The train line will be elevated until its approaches the city centre when it will go underground. It will be 51 kilometres long and have 31 stations, seven of which will be underground. It will be capable of carrying 400,000 passengers a day. The second line will be 52 kilometres long and run from Sungai Buloh to Putrajaya and is targeted for completion in 2022.

The CEO recently announced that the first line is now 65% complete, and the first section from Sungai Buloh to Jalan Semantan will be finished by the end of next year and the final section, to Kajang, by July 2017.

How-to : Print Your EPF Statement In 3 Steps

If you are applying for a home loan or a personal loan, one of the most important documents you need to submit together with your application is your latest Employees Provident Fund’s (EPF) statement. This statement shows the monthly contribution from you and your employer in both Account 1 and 2.

For the uninitiated, EPF is a compulsory retirement savings scheme implemented by our government for all salaried workers in Malaysia. The money saved in your EPF account is invested and will be compounded according to the interest rate set.

The statement is a great way to prove the level and stability of your income to the financial institutions you are applying for a credit from. If you are applying for a credit card at the shopping mall, the sales agent will usually print the EPF statement, using your MyKad, on the spot.

However, with the advent of technology, you now don’t need to apply for loans or credit cards physically. With just a few clicks of a mouse, you can sort out most of your banking needs online.
