I asked the Lord to bless you, as I prayed for you today,

Stadthuys, also known as the Dutch Square,
is really the oldest of all the Dutch buildings in Melaka and South East Asia.
It was once officially home to the Dutch Governors.
It has been preserved in its original Dutch architectural form.
It was constructed in 1650, and it is known (and famous) for its red-painted buildings.
It is situated in the old part of Melaka city.


Siting at one end of the town square is the great red
of Christ Church.Built in 1753 as a Dutch Reform church, it was later converted by the British into an Anglican church. Although things were added, many Dutch and Armenian elements remain,including tombstones laid in the floor.

The church is open most days, but as it is still a working church,its often closed to tourists on Sundays.Next to the church is another red building now housing the Malaysia Youth Museum.

The Melaka River was a key reason behind what Melaka is today. The beautiful past of this great city would not have been possible had its was not bestowed with a river like this.
It other words, the Melaka River significantly shaped the history of this land.




Baba Nyonya museum (Peranakan, the term used popularly for descendants of early Chinese immigrants to the Nusantara region, including both the British Straits Settlements of Singapore, Malacca, Penang, and Dutch controlled island of Java among other areas, who have partially adopted Malay customs in an effort to be assimilated into the local communities.

The Portuguese Settlement is a Kristang community in Ujong Pasir, five km from Malacca, Malaysia.

The Kristang are a Malaysian ethnic group with mixed Portuguese and Malay or Indian ancestry, which arose during the Portuguese colonial period (16th to 17th century).

In 1933, 11 hectares of land at Malacca were purchased with the purpose of creating a heaven for scattered Kristang and their culture. The swampy land was cleared and 10 wooden houses with earth floors and attap roofs were built. Saint John's village, as that simple fishing village was originally known, soon attracted additional Kristang from all over Malaysia, and grew to become one of Malacca's main tourist attractions, improving the standard of living of its villagers.

Like many other Portuguese-speaking communities around the world, the Portuguese Settlement holds a yearly "June festival" that opens with Festa San Juang ("Feast of Saint John", June 24) and closes with Festa San Pedro ("Feast of Saint Peter", the fishermen's patron saint, June 29). This festival is attended by about 100,000 visitors from Malaysia and abroad. At the festival one can hear Kristang folk songs and watch dancers in colourful costumes perform to the rhythm of joget music. An important event in the festival is the blessing of the local fishermen's boats, specially decorated for the occasion, to assure good catch

Coping with daily pressures of working life and relationships can be trying, and that's precisely when you need to make time for exercise. When you need a peace of mind ,forget expensive holidays overseas -working out and staying fit is your best bet. After all,exercise helps alleviate stress and depression.


Goal 1 :Eat Healthier

A healthy tripple -you may be trying to lead a healthy lifestyle but that doesn't mean you have to cut Friday-night drinks out of your social calendar altogether. Moderate consumption of any kind of alcohol can be good for cardiovascular health.Just make sure you have no more than a glass a day.

Goal 2 :Get Shapelier

All-over toners -Yoga not only toners your muscles, it also makes you stronger and more flexible. Many of the standing and sitting poses of yoga help develop core strength,relying on your abdominal to maintain the pose. And with a stronger core, you'll stand straighter and taller! It's also known to help practitioners gain a peace of mind and improve concentration.

Goal 3 :Become Fitter

Prevent Burnout -It's not uncommon for athletes to burnout once they've been achieved a goal. Prevent this by changing your routine around-if you've been swimming as part of your cardio workout, try cycling.A good indicator of whether you're overracing is your mindset just before approaching a race. If you just feel bored and listless, it could be a sign you need to take a break.

THE RAREST OF ALL NATURALLY OCCURRING ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA.

Tzu Chi Foundation was established in 1966 by Venerable Dharma Master Cheng Yen on the impecunious east coast of Taiwan. For over 42 years, the foundation has been contributing to better social and community services, medical care, education and humanism in Taiwan and around the world. From the first 30 members, housewives who saved two cents from their grocery money each day to help the poor, the foundation has grown to over five million members in 45 countries.

Master Cheng Yen firmly believes that suffering in this world is caused not only by material deprivation but, more importantly, also by spiritual poverty. She feels that the lack of altruistic love for others has been the root of many problems in this world. Thus, the foundation’s guiding principle on charity is to “help the poor and educate the rich.”

Tzu Chi’s missions focus on giving material aid to the needy and inspiring love and humanity to both givers and receivers. In addition to charity, the foundation dedicates itself in the fields of medicine, education, environmental protection, international relief work and the establishment of the world’s third largest marrow donor registry. It also promotes humanistic values and community volunteerism. Through helping those in need, Tzu Chi volunteers take on the path of bodhisattva practices, the way to Buddhahood.

In 1984, Taiwan Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation USA was established in California, as a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Since then, 62 local offices have been established with 100,000 members in the U.S. working to make a difference in their local communities.

What comes into your mind when you hear the word Yoga?

Well, if you think of women in seemingly impossible poses, then you may have an inkling of what Yoga is.
But that's just it - an inkling. You've got a long way to go before fully understanding Yoga.

Yoga is an ancient Indian body of knowledge that dates back more than 5000 years ago. The word "Yoga" came from the Sanskrit word "yuj" which means "to unite or integrate." Yoga then is about the union of a person's own consciousness and the universal consciousness.

Ancient Yogis had a belief that in order for man to be in harmony with himself and his environment, he has to integrate the body, the mind, and the spirit. For these three to be integrated, emotion, action, and intelligence must be in balance. The Yogis formulated a way to achieve and maintain this balance and it is done through exercise, breathing, and Meditation - the three main Yoga structures.

In Yoga, the body is treated with care and respect for it is the primary instrument in man's work and growth. Yoga Exercises improve circulation, stimulate the abdominal organs, and put pressure on the glandular system of the body, which can generally result to better health.

Breathing techniques were developed based on the concept that breath is the source of life. In Yoga, students gain breathing control as they slowly increase their breathing. By focusing on their breathing, they prepare their minds for the next step - Meditation.

There is a general misconception that in Meditation, your mind has to go blank. It doesn't have to be so. In Meditation, students bring the activities of the mind into focus resulting in a 'quiet' mind. By designing physical poses and Breathing Techniques that develop awareness of our body, Yoga helps us focus and relieves us from our everyday stress.
