People must remind themselves to never walk along a road alone. These criminals are very smart as they know people will catch them and beating them if their victim is with other people. A person that are walking alone will fight when there are someone else with them.

You can protect yourself against snatch thieves by never walk down lonely roads or dark alleys. If you walk down a lonely road and a snatch thief snatches you, you cannot call for help because there is no one will be helping you. Things  can only be worse if you are at a dark alley. You will not see whether someone is waiing for you or there are someone that are going to help you in case you are being snatches.

Other than that, you  must avoid wear expensive jewellery such as gold bracelet or chain if you do not want anything bad happen to you and attract the snatch thefts attention. If you insist on wearing expensive jewellery for a certain event, make sure that you carry the jewellery carefully in your bag. Wear it only when you reach at the venue of the event. Or maybe you can use your own car and never use public transport or walk in any public area.

Money

It is truly undeniable that in this science and technology millennium, we can hardly live without money. Even buying something small such as sweet will cost you some money. However, this does not mean that money can buy happiness, unlike the misconception of most people in the world. In fact, wealth is a far cry from happiness. If you disagree with me, let's look at the reasons for my stand.

Firstly, one of the main gates to happiness is to stay healthy. Maybe some people think that when one is rich, he can be healthy or it does not matter even if they have diseases because these rich men have lots of money to pay their medication. This is totally wrong. Good health is acquired from a healthy lifestyle progressively and not in a day. With lots of money we are tend to temp ourselves to exotic, luxurious food. If this food is taken excessively, it will let to obesity, heart diseases, diabetes, hypertension and other serious illness. Moreover, rich people are probably lack of exercise as they hardly walk outdoor due to 24 hours-service debar fetching them about causing them to be at a higher risk of getting these unnecessarily health problems. How a person can enjoys his life and feels happy when he is confined to a wheelchair or bed-ridden. He would not even be glad spending his money and time curing his sickness. Therefore, wealth cannot bring happiness.

Professionals like doctor, nurse, lawyer, engineer, food technologist and accountant earn a lot of money per month. They are considered the high class citizens who can afford large, expensive house with huge beautiful gardens. But do they really enjoy the pleasures of life?  Most probably not because they are simply too busy with their work. They frequently burnt the midnight oil in their work place. It is even more miserable if they have to turn their home into a working place. Most specialists have to stand-by 24 hours in case of emergency calls from the hospitals. Hence, they can hardly spend any relax, restful night at their home even if they posse a huge two and a half storey bungalow with a beautiful garden and artificial waterfall. Successful businessmen may always have a chance of flying to all parts of the world when they go out station to make business. However, very few of them can really take it as a holiday as a treat for themselves for their schedules are always full and they are so stressful with their works. Even fewer businessmen can ignore urgent, pursuing calls from their clients or office when they are going for holidays or resting. In other words, one can make lots of money but he may not enjoy even the beauty of nature around them or the branded, expensive things with them. So what is the use of money when we do not even enjoy a meal properly and discontented with lives. One with a moderate income can feels happier if he leads a simple life and be grateful with what he has.

Finally, a children or a teenage brought in moderate family is better than in a rich family. As the sons or daughters of billionaires, their parents will give them whatever that they want in material. These children or teenagers get a lot of pocket money from their parents and can afford to buy many expensive things like branded, latest handset, expensive clothes and branded sport shoes. But the question is, are they happy if their parents are always working with only an Indonesian maid to accompany them. If they are asked to choose between wealth and love from their parents, I believe that they were undoubtedly choose love. A healthy family is not created for the children. These children mentally are not as healthy as those being cared and loved by their parents. Children need parents who can listen to their problems and give them words of wisdom, teaching then day by day. Parents who are not rich may not be able to buy branded things to satisfy their children but with more communication and understanding, these teenagers will understand the difficulty of their parents in earning money, learning to be thrifty. In short, money does not promise a happy, caring family.

Money may be able to buy a lot of things but not love friendship, health and others. These are the main ‘ingredients’ for a happy life. Thus, it is a controversy if money can bring happiness. Even, if we can afford many things we desired with lots of money, we may not be happy and enjoy our lives if we are always dissatisfied with what we had, yearning for more. Thus, I stand firm that money cannot bring happiness.

World's Human Computer Indis's Shakuntala Devi

Born - 4 November 1929 | Died - 21 April 2013

Very few people around the world achieved what this wonder-woman did. A mathematical prodigy, also known as the 'human computer', Shakuntala Devi was known for her complex problem-solving skills without the aid of any mechanical device. During her early years, she shot to fame by mentally calculating one of the toughest mathematical multiplications 10 seconds before the fastest and the most efficient computer of the time.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Using Mobile Phone

It’s no secret that smart phones are everywhere these days. It seems like nearly everyone has one, even if they’re not sporting some fancy new model. That’s why we’ve compiled this definitive list of the main advantages and disadvantages of cell phones.

Advantages - Communicating with Friends, Family, and Coworkers

This one is pretty obvious but bare with us. Since the first cell phone, we’ve been able to make calls while on the go. But given the fact that almost everyone today owns at least a basic mobile phone and the majority have their phone on hand at all times, you’re able to get in touch with people nearly 24/7.

Add to this the cell phone towers constantly popping up to give us ever-improving reception and even being in a building or outside of the city isn’t the problem it used to be. This comes in handy in so many ways. Let your boss know about last second changes to an important business deal, keep tabs on your kids, hit a friend for an impromptu hangout, or even call for help in an emergency. All these things and more are easier than ever.

Constant Internet Access

It doesn’t take much of an imagination to come up with tons of advantages of having the internet at your fingertips any time you need it. Want to find all the local movie times? No problem.

Need to look up the number for that restaurant you were supposed to make reservations at? Just pull out your phone. Smartphone’s have also been effectively solving friendly arguments about random trivia for years. Learn to take advantage of everyone’s constant connection to the internet.

Applications and the All-in-One Device

It’s tough to fit an mp3 player, digital camera, phone, and GPS all in your pockets at the same time – at least comfortably. Fortunately for you, today’s cell phones mean that’s not a problem anymore. It’s been our go-to calculator and flashlight for at least the past decade and a Smartphone is probably the only camera many people even own. To learn to create professional-quality shots with your phone’s camera.

If that weren’t enough, there are apps for practically everything. Now your phone is also an eBook reader, currency converter, and handheld gaming device. There are even apps that help you learn foreign languages on the go.

 Disadvantages - Hinder Real Human Interaction

Our phones can do so much these days that some people have trouble tearing themselves away long enough to reconnect with the real world. You’ve likely seen them around town, on public transportation, and in stores with their eyes and fingers glued to their mobile device. Instead of interacting with the people around them, they ignore face-to-face conversation for virtual ones.

Many believe that our younger generation is actually less capable of normal socializing because of this. They’ve gotten so little practice that they’re simply not comfortable with chatting with someone they meet out in public. Since humans are social creatures by nature who need real life connections, this runs the risk of becoming a huge problem for society.

Lead to Some Pretty Serious Accidents

That’s not the only way the inattention to their surrounding caused by cell phones creates problems. It can actually cost lives when drivers focused on texting or social media lose control of their vehicle and have major accidents. Is letting your friend know you’re on the way really worth dying over?

And it’s not safe to do it while you’re walking either. For one, people have stepped into oncoming traffic while staring at the screen of their phone. Less seriously, you can fall down stairs, trip over something on the ground, or bump into a wall or another pedestrian while you’re absorbed with what’s happening on Face book.

Do the Disadvantages Outweigh the Advantages?

What do you think? Does the bad outweigh the good? I personally don’t think so.

The cons of mobile phones are mostly a case of too much of a good thing. Pull yourself away from your device when you’re out on the town and don’t isolate yourself from the people around you. Don’t even think about touching that thing while you’re driving, walking, riding a bike, or anything else that requires your full attention. And Then you’ll be able to enjoying all the helpful things mobile phones bring to the table without the negatives.

The Night Market

One of the most interesting places in Malaysia is the night market. You may visit and experience the night market yourselves. Both locals and foreigners agree that the night market is the most common feature in the local society.

The night market begins when the vendors arrive in the late afternoon. More and more goods laden vans arrive to begin a brisk day of business. Most of the vendors busily set out to set up their stalls respectively in order to get ready for a brisk day of business.

The sun gradually sets and the night market picks up momentum. More cars and vans are arriving. By now, the stalls are neatly and strategically arranged to entice their customers. There is an assortment of goods sold ranging from food, toys and clothes, to name a few. A variety of goods is sold at low prices.

Large rainbow-coloured parasols are used to shade the people from rain and shine. A concoction of blaring music can be heard in the night market background amidst the constant shouting. It is an amazing kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, smells and colours.

The night market is known as a haven by local ‘gourmets’ who can enjoy various kinds of mouth-watering local cuisine. Still more people arrive, they come from all walks of life, mingling freely and harmoniously. Crowds are walking up and down in an endless stream. Some of them are stopping by the stalls and haggling before making purchases. Little children tag along, amused and excited. Sprinklings of tourists join in to experience the lifestyle of typical Malaysian folks.

When night falls, lighted lamps brighten up the place, they add gaiety to this atmosphere, and it is like a funfair. The night wears on and the traffic of people recedes. Vendors get a chance to rest their weary legs besides bantering with each other.

By 10.00 pm, all the stalls call it a day. The vendors pack up and close the van doors. One by one, they leave, leaving behind pieces of papers, plastic bags and discarded boxes. It us an eyesore! Finally, the night market disappears. The place becomes quite and still once more.

What is freedom?

What is freedom? Some might said that freedom is something that will make us happy however from my view of point, freedom is free from any obstacle and only could be attained by death. Freedom is can be divided by 3 main common things that people used to say such as free, happy and money.

Free, almost anyone wanted to be free.it like a dream or a goal for those who have locked inside the room or prisoner. Free is often symbolize as a bird.

http://www.quotesfrenzy.com/171951/saying-freedom-birds-quotes

People always think that bird is free, they can fly anywhere they want in this world if they got their wings. However that is not true, in order to archive freedom they must face a harder suffering to get on their current state now.

Happy is also a freedom from my point of view that is because we do whatever we want when we are happy. Parent always said that they sacrifice their future for our sake but they will be happy when we are on the age of success and take it care when we were young as well. Parent happiness also our or the children happiness as well.

http://www.quotesvalley.com/the-secret-of-happiness-is-freedom-the-secret-of-freedom-is-courage-2/

Last but not least is money. Money is also form of freedom but it also the root of all evil. Money can gain infinite freedom because they can go wherever they want and buy everything their want just with money such as House, Cars, Phones even women and many more. The reason why I said money is money is a figure or a symbol that everyone look to. Every day the reason why they work is money. If they already the money why should they work?

https://hateandanger.wordpress.com/2012/10/14/currently-freedom-can-only-be-leased/

In the nutshell, Freedom is about something that can make you free, happy also money can give you free as well. Freedom can be change according to a person perception. If the person has a good intention then he/her freedom might be good as well however do not judge a book by its cover, The person you might think is nice maybe the real deal so becareful.

WORLD HIJAB DAY

Other than that, the objective of World Hijab Day is to allay some of the myths and controversies among the Muslim women that choose to wear the hijab. She especially felt the call to bring the message having experienced “being the odd one out” since her school days after her family moved from Bangladesh to the United States, when she was 11-years-old.

The message had been spread through the social media and attracted all the women in the world including non-Muslim women. There are more than 50 appointed World Hijab Day ambassadors from 20 countries. And, Malaysia has a total of 7 ambassadors.

Two Chinese women from Malaysia namely Carol Lee, Mrs Universe 2013 who is said to endorsed the movement of the event in Malaysia and also Felixia Yeap, the ex-Playboy bunny and model shared her story on wearing the hijab.
