Let's make that change!


> One day all the employees reached the office and they saw a big advice on the door on which it was written:

> “Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym”.
>
> In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know who was that man who hindered the growth of his colleagues and the company itself. The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room.
>
> The more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up. Everyone thought: “Who is this guy who was hindering my progress? Well, at least he died!”.
>
> One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood
> nearby the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself or herself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: “There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth: IT IS YOU. You are the only person who can revolutionize your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself."
>
> Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.
>
> “The most important relationship you can have, is the one you have with yourself”
>
> Examine yourself, watch yourself. Don’t be afraid of difficulties, impossibilities and losses: be a winner, build yourself and your reality.
>
> **** The world is like a mirror: it gives back to anyone the reflection of the thoughts in which one has strongly believed. *****
>
> The world and your reality are like mirrors laying in a coffin, which show to any individual the death of his divine capability to imagine
> and create his happiness and his success. It’s the way you face Life that makes the difference!
>
> - If an egg is broken from outside force .. life ends. If an egg is broken from inside force , life begins. Great things always begin from
> our inside.

Durian Glorious Durian!!





No more RM10 eat all you can durians available but the durians for RM20 eat all you can was worth every penny...I mean sen!

Plump, soft yet supple, I bite into it like there's no tomorrow. Slowly it melts in my mouth as I gently spread it over my tongue letting the sweetness, bitter after taste hitting the right spot. Normally, wine connoisseurs' eau de vie description will sound like this; dry, heavy body with a hint of raspberry or some berries...blah blah blah... Wonder what they will say how durian is like.
Very full bodied, sweet, creamy, milky, freshly brewed alcoholic taste and finishing off with a gentle bitter end?


Sorry no comment...my mouth is full!

Oh mama! I'm in heaven!!!!

And so, that was our carbo loading dinner for PD triathlon this Sunday! Burp Burp!

You are a runner

" Shut the door and lock it. Now stand in front of the mirror and slowly take off your clothes. Marvel at your body - the flatness of your stomach, the curve of your hamstrings. Years of running have made your hips lean and your calves sculpted.
You are strong.
You are beautiful.
You are a runner."

Is your heart healthy?

Just because you don't have any symptoms does not mean you are healthy! About 80% of disease process occurs long before we have any symptoms. That is why it is so important to be proactive about health. Sadly, most members of our species are only motivated to make changes when they are caught up with symptoms.

About 80% of disease process occurs long before we have any symptoms.

Some diseases don't have any symptoms until they actually kill you. The first symptom is death! Well the number one cause of death in this country is heart disease and the most common symptom of heart disease is not chest pain, but it is sudden death.

We must not forget in taking care of our heart. Our heart is a super ultra marathoner that beats without taking a break!

Imagine our legs that can go on like our heart! Wow!

Therefore, we must take good care of our heart so that it keeps on beating.

Fish oils for heart health

The American Heart Association has acknowledged that the omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are essential for heart health. They now recommend that people without heart disease eat fish 2 or more times per week and consume a diet rich in alpha-linolenic acid. Heart disease patients should consume about 1 gram of EPA and DHA daily. Patients with high triglyceride levels may benefit from supplementing with 2 to 4 grams of EPA plus DHA per day in capsule form. EPA and DHA are the main components of fish oils.
