This was my teenager story. I really get shock when i hear the news from the radio.

Michael You will never be forgotten.

Ask most people what they think is the best way to a flatter stomach and the answer usually involves sit-ups. But the next time you do sit-ups, place your fingers on your stomach and observe what happens to them when you go through the movement. Chances are they just get push up and out, hence why your stomach isn't getting flatter.!

Move A Muscle

The muscles around your torso help you curl up, rotate and straighten up, and you need to mimic these actions in your exercises. You will also need to work deeper muscles the help support you otherwise muscle weakness results and with it comes poor posture.

Build Strength

Imagine holding an elastic band with one end in each hand. Place one hand above the other so the band is tight and running vertically. That is your abdomen with good posture. If you lower your top hand a little, the band goes slack and slops forwards and out, which is what happens when you slouch and/or have weak back muscles.

working on that theory, you need to strengthen the muscles that help keep you upright and stop you from slouching. Good posture is a mix or flexibility, mobility and strength. Try the following exercises as an alternative to sit-ups.

Good Posture

Your body is at its most stable position when your posture is good. Many injuries, aches and pains result from poor posture or weakness in those muscles responsible for good posture.

Our largely sedentary lives has resulted in poor posture. Seated at a screen, our bent knees shorten the back thigh and front hip muscles, while our rounded backs weaken those muscles around the waist and lower backs.

To stretch out tight muscles, straighten your legs, lift your chest and reach your arms around your back to interlock the hands.

Tomas Maier the creative director, established the brand as one of the world's top luxury houses for the brand's signature bag. With his minimalist aesthetic and remarkable vision, creative director Tomas Maier has turned Italian fashion house Bottega Veneta into one of the biggest players in the luxury world.

The global recession bites, luxury shopping has become rather delicate affair for those who can still afford it. Who wants to be seen flashing the cash when most people have been forced to tighten their belts? The fashion elite's answer is "stealth wealth," Alpha shoppers are now shunning over sized logos and blingy designs in favour of more discreet luxury with subtle messaging and intricate craftsmanship. And while other brands are struggling to adjust to this trend, Italian fashion house Bottega Veneta has mastered recession-proof style with ease. "when your own initials are enough" is the brand's mantra. No logo adorns its products, yet every seasoned fashionista will recognise Bottega Veneta's famous intrecciato, or woven, leather.

In 1996, Bottega Veneta is founded in the Italian town of Vicenza, 1980 the brand garners a celebrity following with fans including Andy Warholand and Lauren Hutton. Year 2000, British designer Giles Deacon and Legendary stylist Katie Grand are brought into modernist the brand, 2001 Gucci group acquires the brand and appoints Tomas Maier as creative director. 2002, Bottega Veneta flagship stores open in London, Paris and Milan, on 2004 Tomas Maier launches the first room fragrance name "Intreccio No.1," 2005 presents his first women wear runway show, 2007 opens the first store in shanghai, china and presentation of the first menswear runway show.

If you are in Malaysia, Melaka (The Historical City), and you’re a non-Halal visitor, Satay Celup is must eat. In fact, till now, I still believe good satay celup can only be found in Melaka, and nowhere else, unless I’m proven wrong one day. Never leave Melaka without the savory satay celup. In Melaka there a few Satay Celup shop such as Capitol Satay Celup, located at Bukit Cina, Ban Lee Hiang located at Jalan Ong Kim Wee. This two is the popular among others.

2. Melaka Nyonya Curry Laksa is enriched with various spices but cooked without curry powder.Donald & Lily’s Corner the one i like to recommend and it located at Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock (Heeren Street), within walking distance from Jonker Street and the reddish Dutch Square. Beside that you can get our Melaka famous dessert cendol at the same place.

3. Don't leave Melaka without trying chicken rice ball. There is few out there such as Hoe Kee chicken rice ball at Jonker Walk, Famosa chicken at Jonker Walk and the other one which is out of town is Wilson chicken at Jalan Gajah Berang.

4. Last, i would like to recommend Baba Nyonya Restaurant which located at Jonker Walk, Bibik Chi Neo, Makko, Ole Sayang all at Melaka Raya and Auntie Lee at Jalan Ujong Pasir.

Do you know why Geisha's had to walk with very small step?Check this out, and you will find the answer. Amazing!!!

Happy birthday, Mom!
To have you in my life another year,
The time I spent enfolded in your love,

I hope everyone can see,
What a great mom you’ve always been,
And how much you mean to me.

I always think about you,
In times both good and bad,
For the things you taught are with me,

In happy times and sad.
On your birthday I wish you joy,
Just like you pass around.

May all your good times multiply,
And happiness abound.

Please, Lord, protect my mother,
And keep her safe from harm,
For she is a cherished person,

With great wisdom, love and charm.
Lord, it’s my mother’s birthday
So please, help her to see
How much she means to us,
Her loving family.

Summer used to signal a time for a well-deserved reprieve from life's rigors. Par for the season: lazy afternoons at the beach, abbreviated workdays, and long breaks away from the daily grind. This year though you might be working extra hours and staying closer to home to save some cash. But there are still plenty ways to relax and rejuvenate.

The key is to learn how to "disengage" from daily stress. When you're taking fewer days off, it's especially important to find ways to unwind during the downtime you do have.

Squashing stress isn't just good for your sanity—it's good for your physical health. Stress has been linked to every major illness, including heart disease, cancer, and depression. Going nonstop day in and day out takes a toll on the entire body, learning to apply a vacation mentality to your daily life can put you back on your game. These tips will help you reach a state of blissful detachment; no matter where you are or how many days off you can swing.

1.Unplug Yourself from the Office

Experts say we've become so obsessed with always being on that we've lost the ability to turn ourselves off. And that can pile on stress.

More than a third of the participants in a recent study, published in the journal Heart, felt frazzled by a sense of obligation to respond immediately to their constant barrage of e-mails. Women also feel more pressure to hit REPLY. But just because you own a PDA doesn't mean it has to be on all the time, Each night, block 30 minutes for e-mail. When the time's up, turn off the device and put it out of sight.

Just don't schedule your catch-up session right before bed. Hitting the sack with work on your brain makes it tough to transition into sleep mode, so put the kibosh on all business-related correspondence at least an hour before turning in.

2.Create a Chill-Out Routine

In the same way a pre-bedtime ritual puts you in the mood for sleep, a pre-downtime routine helps you get in the mood for relaxation.

As soon as you arrive home, shed whatever reminds you of work: stash your bag out of sight and kick off your heels. Changing your outfit can change your mindset instantly.

Next, do something that offers a change of pace, if you're a desk drone, head outside for a run or a swim; if you're on your feet all day, ease into a warm bath. Soon you'll feel yourself mentally drifting away from what stresses you out.

3.Take It Outside

Mother Nature may be the ultimate antidepressant. Exposure to natural light can increase levels of the mood-lifting chemical serotonin.

Research also shows that spending time outdoors is hugely important in preventing depression.The expansive space, colors, and fresh air can all help your brain disengage,

Trading your gym routine for outdoor exercise or eating lunch .Try to notice every detail using all your senses—the shapes in the clouds, the taste of your lemonade, the warm breeze on your back.

4.Find a Balance Between Rest and Activity

When the weekend finally arrives, sometimes you're so determined to have fun that you try to cram in 147 things before Monday.

But a jam-packed weekend can actually leave you more exhausted and stressed. Even enjoyable activities can wear you out if you shoehorn too many into one weekend.

I recommends carving out a half-hour each day just to chill. Try using the time to read, listen to music, or sip a cup of tea.

Don't flip on the tube unless there's a show you really want to see.Even though watching TV seems like a great way to zone out, mindless surfing actually stimulates your nervous system and thwarts your ability to relax.

5.Plan Long Weekends

If you can't afford a full week away from work, put in for a few Mondays or Fridays instead. Experts say that taking mini-vacations can sufficiently recharge your batteries. (And since you'll be missing only one day of work, you won't have overflowing voice mail or e-mail to contend with when you return.)

When we examined how vacation length affects stress levels, we found that taking several short breaks may be more beneficial than taking one long one.

To get the most out of an extended weekend, you still have to seek out a slight change of scenery. Physical separation can lead to mental separation from stressed. Check into a nearby B&B for a night, go on an all-day hike, or even just visit a new restaurant across town.

6.Become an Escape Artist

To sufficiently drag your brain out of the work gutter, you need to reset it. The best way to do that is through what psychologists call escapism. That means getting out of the house and experiencing something that transports the mind—think movies, concerts, art exhibitions, comedy shows, sporting events.

An activity like watching a movie is the metaphorical equivalent of going to Hawaii. It lets you mentally check out and remove yourself from the problems in your everyday life.

If thoughts of the office intrude while you're enjoying a baseball game or a summer blockbuster, just briefly acknowledge them and then refocus.Redirect your attention toward the sound of the crowd, the taste of your hot dog, or the way Ryan Reynolds's eyes twinkle when he smiles.

10. Off to something sweet now with one of the most expensive deserts in the world, served at Serendipity 3, a popular restaurant in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The $1000 sundae was introduced in 2004 and was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most expensive dessert. It's made up of 5 scoops of the richest Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream, Madagascar vanilla, 23K edible gold leaf and one of the most expensive chocolates in the world, Amedei Porceleana.




















16. Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum is merely the top-selling high strength rum in the world, bottled in 1940. Only four bottles are left from this precious liquor, each being estimated at $53,000.









18. The most expensive beer in the world costs around £500 (around $1,000) a bottle and is called Vielle Bon Secours. It can only be found in a bar called the Bierdrome in London .

I would like to share this information regarding MLM company一 Beware of the these scam in the market don't invest blindly and lost all your hard earned money. Anything that is too easy to make money is usually a scam. Read the following interesting collections and be forewarned. Attached is a good compilation of suspicious business scams.

1.The Cafe Scams - Island Red Cafe & Stevens Corner
(strange, both in Pandan Indah) - Island Red Cafe collects members RM6,000 each and promised 5% return every month and even give you a name in the ROC as a shareholder but what’s the point when they run away? Stevens Corner, the famous Indian coffee shop follows due to drop of business since their renovation. They collect RM3, 000 per member and promise return of RM150 monthly and plans to open nice franchise cafe called Stevens Tea Garden. Someone mentioned they will make you sign an agreement that give them the rights NOT to pay you anything in future. If you really wish to join, ask for a copy of their agreement and consult your lawyer BEFORE paying them. Bet you will NOT get a copy. Both collect monies from new members with MLM recruitment schemes and pay the old members like Sunshine Empire. You never know when they will run away.

2. Sunshine Empire

This licensed and legal Company has an impressive office at the ground level of KUB building along Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, near Menara Public Bank and AmBank Building. They also have a showroom office at the ground level in the next building. 3 or 4 months ago, Singapore’s Straits Times and The Paper published big news reminding their people to be careful and NOT to believe in them. Hope someone can put up the link or Google for it. (As expected, they STOPPED paying back members now and all investors LOST their money).

Someone below has put a link to the Singapore news. In fact there are more to it. Although Singapore is investigating them, they did not stop their business as the business is legal and so far, no Singaporean has failed to receive their commissions as promised. Thus, the government cannot stop them yet. The news published that the founder, director and group president is someone named James Phang but he is NOT the owner. Is’t this quite strange ? At the end of the game, James Phang can just disappear from the Company easily and claimed that he was just "employed”. Such trick always happened in scam businesses.

Now, the Company has STOPPED paying commissions and interests to members with the excuse that the Singapore government has freeze their bank account while under investigation. Do you think their boss will be so stupid to keep many monies in the bank to be freeze? They are all transferred away. It’s just an excuses not to pay back to members and members are only paid “e-bonus-points” which is cashless. If they wish to convert to cash, they have to recruit new members to pay them cash and the recruiter less out tromp the amount. So victims act like Vampires and “forced” to victim other victims if they wish to get their monies back. And their victims will later transform to vampires and the scam carries on…..

3. MobilWallet

This Company owned by 2 young men, Stanley & Rey Gan, office in Queens Avenue Park has collect multi-millions the last 2 years. Claimed that they tied up with Telecoms, Utility Board payment like Water & Electricity bills, even May bank got fooled by them. Advertisement Billboards everywhere. They STOPPED paying back their members few months ago and the members cannot do anything because they are made to sign an agreement unaware that they have to claims if the company stopped paying them by CHANGING terms and policies.

4. Water Business - Oxygenated and Alkaline Water Products
Some of these are bottled water and some are filters or equipment that claimed the trick.
One of the better known Company that sold “oxygen” water is SITO (supposed to stand for Selangor International Trading Organization and claimed Selangor State Government owned some share in it).. The key person and founder is a Dato Robert Ong from Rawang but his name is no longer in the business now.

Their products are sold for RM2 to RM3 for a 350ml bottle and now concentrating mostly in the Indian market. Their Chinese and Malays market are long gone since a year or 2 ago. Their customers are made to believe that their water has more oxygen and able to give miraculous effects for the body. Water is H2O, how to put more O into it? Anyone knows how much oxygen do we breathe into our body everyday at FOC? Latest news is that this SITO Company is going to create new label to market under a new Company since the SITO name has already gone bad. Someone informed that this Company owes a lot of money (due to refunds) to ex-stockiest but just refuse to pay them. (Latest news, SITO shifted to another place and their MLM business has closed but planning to start again with a different name, bewares!!)

Alkaline Products - Can anyone explain how it can work for the body? The stomach’s gastric liquid is so acidic that water of any pH that goes through it will not make any difference.

5. Car Fuel Booster - K-Link

K-Link, the famous scam MLM Company that sold the foot patch TAKARA, later the “cock-ring” and energy-card launched the patrol-saving pills last year. Got so hot that even grocery shops are selling for them. Recently many of these cars that used the pills are rushing to the workshops to clean the residual. Few months ago, another MLM Company launched a fuel booster gadget, claimed that saves up to 20% fuel that is attached to the cigarette lighter. Started off well using binary plan but business begin to fade now and most users find it NOT effective.

6. Perfumery Products
(e.g. Lampe Berger & Bel Air) (more details later). Lampe Berger is not so hot now in the neighboring countries but there are still new victims every month in Malaysia. Must thanks to those who have contributed and kept the thread alive here in Kopitiam. Bel-Air has closed in Malaysia. LB is almost zero in Singapore.

This perfumery product from France with over 100 year’s history is just bottles and fragrance (check the factory’s website) but the Company marketing them in Asia claimed “aromatherapy” products. Hong Kong TVB aired a program that exposed their scam but their members claimed that HK’s TVB already apologized to them. Note that the biggest strength in a MLM Scam is their members will go all way out to lie in order to defend for their Company.

The reason is simple; these members fear that they will not be able to make their money back if the Company collapsed. Knowing that the Lampe Berger products are moving slow, they add a line of skincare products named Estebel, also claim to have over 100 years history in France. (Hardly anymore Chinese newcomers, they are now tapping the Malays in Malaysia.)

7. Energy Products
(e.g. stone pendants, bracelets, mattress and pillows). They use all sorts of gimmicks and demonstration to make you into believing them. They will do some tricks and demo to prove that these products really produce energy BUT are there any tricks in their demo? So what if there really produce energy; is it good or strong enough to help the body? The effect is actually PLACEBO which I will elaborate in a new thread soon. (More details later.)

8. Hi-Tech Products
Names like bio-tech, nano-tech that claimed millions of dollars of research involved, e.g. Bio-Young and XKL few years ago. Most of these will claimed a professor behind them (even with name and picture of a person) or used words like “U.S.A. formula”, “German Technology” or “Nanotechnology” and no further details (more details later). If you ask for more details like the professor or factory’s address, the answer will be “trade secrets”.

9. Investment Schemes
SWISS CASH is the King of all. Swiss cash is nearly over now but there are many similar and smaller ones that are still on. (Now, it’s closed or stopped paying back members.)

10. Gold Quest

This Company that claimed to be HK-based started with some non-value gold-plated coins that are sold for over RM2, 000 have several names and changed products several times. Quest Vacation, Quest Net, etc. They have several offices in Amcorp Mall, PJ and their key person (in fact, the owner), a Malaysian Indian was arrested last year in Indonesia for having involved in a very big Philippines scam. Most of their overseas offices are closed or inactive but their Malaysia business is still hot, with some “energy” products. (Can someone please provide a link which showed the news that their boss was involved in a big scam in Philippines and was arrested in last year?)

11. Numerology & Fortune Telling

A Company named Visible is using MLM to sell fortune telling classes using your birthday based on numerology fortune telling. Prospects will be told that they need to buy a certain “number” between 1 to 9 in the form of pendants or bracelets made of stainless steel and sold from RM600 to RM20,000. Customers, or rather victims are mostly females from rural areas. Very hot in Penang now and a number of spin-off Companies have started.

12. MJ - Life
MJ-Life - This Company boost of a very big background with many many years of history which is NOT true. Their people or associates may be long in business but nothing to do with their MLM launched recently. Why do I consider it a scam or bad? New members are told to pay a sum of money (up to RM1000) and you get NOTHING for it. You only get a membership can entitle you to enjoy all sorts of special price and discounts when you have medical check-ups in their centers. They will claim all those check-ups cost more if done elsewhere. It’s not true. Only the naive and those new to medical check-ups will fall victims to them. Most members who paid the money ended up with nothing.

13. Seaweed Venture Scams

One such Company is located in Taman Maluri, Cheras. They will ask you to invest a few thousands ringgits for their venture of growing seaweeds in East Malaysia and you are guaranteed returns. To gain your confidence further, they will tell you your investment money is secured by “insurance” or “unit trusts” & “trustees”. When you ask for further documents to prove, they will give all sorts of excuses or just ignore you because they know they cannot get you. These Seaweed scam is one of the hottest now, warn all your friends about it before they are victimized.

14. MXM (Previously MGM)

This is a master scam among the younger group, very successful 2 or 3 years ago but since there moved to their big 10-storey office at Phileo Damansara and changed name to MXM, their business dropped. They collect members RM3,000 to RM4,000 with credit card monthly easy payment and in return you get a hospital benefits insurance from Pacific Insurance worth only a few hundred RMs together with some you-don’t-need medical check-ups from their associate Company Path lab. Also talk about fitness, lifestyles bullshit that is all worthless.

15. Gano Excel

This company from the north, a copycat of DXN selling Lingzhi capsules created a new Company called Gano iTouch to cash-in on the internet like e-Cosway after their Company went down the drain since the last 2 years, selling Linzhi and some no-value energy pendants and alkaline water gadgets. They provide free transport every weekend from KL to visit their Alor Star office.

16. NuLife (HK)
This Company started by some HK people has been in Malaysia for more than 10 years but they have flopped in HK and Malaysia due to bad management and a product scam making use of a prosecuted American named Dr Jeffrey Bland, found guilty of false products claim. Since this case in the US leaked out and many Malaysians found out that the real boss in HK is a Steven Tang (he cheated many Malaysians in another scheme about 20 years ago) their business went down all the way. Now they claim Malaysian partners cheated them and start a new Company in Malaysia. Watch out, this new Company will come out with some investment scheme idea that will get many to lose their money.

17. Arowana Fish Breeding
Oora from Germany, Bio fuel (Kompleks Maluri) etc - These are some newer scams. Arowana fish venture ask you to invest some money and give you fixed return. Bio fuel will tell you their Indonesia connections (just like Sunshine Empire before using Taiwan) & Oora from Germany (I never trust those cruel Germans) that market some bio-chips and a gadget that claims to give energy and therapeutic effects of acupuncture, tai-chi, yoga, etc depending how you set the toy-like gadget, wear it on your body and you get the effect later.

They could not explain or provide any demonstration to prove their effectiveness. Only doctors and papers claim that I will never trust. The health effect is actually PLACEBO, which I will elaborate in a different thread.

Lastly but no least, thank you for reading to the end and I hope you can come back for more details and updates or help to contribute for me to update.

Some people say love is river,some say like razor let you bleed and some say like roses so what say about you?

How to live healthier as you age.

For a long time, doctors and researchers have touted the health benefits of red wine in lowering bad cholesterol, preventing blood clots and damage to blood vessels.

Antioxidants like resveratrol have promising heart-healthy benefits, according to the Mayo Clinic Web site.

Short of drinking several bottles of red wine per day -- something the Mayo Clinic doesn't recommend because too much alcohol can have many harmful effects on your body -- how can you get the benefits of resveratrol?

A pill called Eternal RezV is available to give concentrated doses of resveratrol. Resveratrol has been linked to life extension, cancer prevention, fighting Alzheimer's disease, diabetes and body fat, and it activates the body's natural defenses to help prevent the diseases that come with aging.

For baby boomers, it's more important than ever to improve your heart health and look and feel better as you age.

'Our goal is to prevent and forestall many of the diseases that strike us as we reach 50, 60, or 70, all with one pill,' says Dr. Christoph Westphal on CBS's '60 Minutes.'

Resveratrol's benefits are supported by researchers around the globe who have found it can prevent estrogen from causing breast cancer and can help treat fat buildup around the liver.

Resveratrol has been known to:

* Slow down your aging process
* Extend your life
* Protect your heart
* Prevent and fight cancer
* Fight type 2 diabetes
* Override an unhealthy lifestyle
* Help people lose weight

Resveratrol can also help boost your energy as it significantly increases the number of mitochondria in the muscle cells, which are responsible for generating your cell's energy. The increased mitochondria allow you to burn more calories, causing you to lose weight.

When teens become depressed, it can have a ripple effect in their lives, according to psychologist Judy Garber, of Vanderbilt University.

“It can affect their school, their relationships with friends (and cause a) risk for suicide and increased problems with drugs and alcohol,” Garber said.

It also greatly increases the risk of chronic depression as an adult.Garber and other researchers looked at 316 at-risk adolescents, ages 13 to 17, around the country. All participants had at least one parent or caretaker who had experienced depression.

Half of them received the usual care, while the other half met for weekly, then monthly group therapy to help them avoid another depressive episode.

“So we get them to kind of look realistically at what the consequences of the events, consequences of their own actions and then what they can do about it,” Garber said.

Published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the study found that with more than nine months of follow-up, those in the prevention program had an 11 percent lower incidence of depression than those who weren't in the program.

In the therapy group, teens with a depressed parent were much more likely to be diagnosed with depression than other at-risk teens.

Researchers believe the prevention program can affect many lives.

“It may increase many kids' ability to do work at school, their social relationships and may have some cost benefit effects down the line,” Garber said.

Study authors say that one future area of research should explore the association between parental depression and adolescent symptoms and look at the value of therapy for both.
