10 Steps to BETTER SLEEP

Simple, cool, all-white bedroom...

Here are the 10 tips and steps to getting better sleep which are very important and useful to everyone of us. ;)

1. Understand the need for sleep zzZz
~ After reading this you should already know. ;)

2. Make sleep a priority
~ It is as important as our mealtimes, studies, work, sports etc. Go to bed when it's time to sleep.

3. Watch your diet
~ A balanced diet will help you sleep better.

4. Exercise and be active
~ Though not too close to your bedtime, this will improve your chances of getting regular sleep.

5. Learn to relax...
~ Tension & stress at bedtime will give you a restless night. Try praying to God before sleep. ;)
In Proverbs 17:22, God's word says A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

6. Sort out your sleep routine
~ Get into a pattern of going to sleep the same time every night, and waking the same time everyday (whether it's a holiday or not).

7. Organise your time
~ There really are enough hours in a day to do everything. It's a question of organisation.

8. Develop healthy thinking and control worry
~ Worrying can keep you up and sleepless. Adopt some worry-free strategies like watching good movies/tv shows, exercise, reading, meditating on God's word (His promise) and many others.

Matthew 6:34 says that Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

9. Deal with other problems
~ Sort out your work, problems and things to do. By keeping life simple, you'll sleep better.

10. Persevere and practice
~ You have to make good sleep a habit, and this will take time. Don't give up too easily!
Practice makes perfect. ;)

Nothing bad happened

19/6/08 (Thursday)

As usual I was working part-time at the music centre while having my semester break. At about 9:45pm, my mum had already come to wait for me to close the shop. Another friend and a teacher were also there. All of a sudden, a malay man came. I thought he was a student's parent, so I pressed the button for the door to open for the man to come in. However, the man looked suspicious to us as his right hand was in his pocket and we all knew something was wrong. He took out something from his pocket... From far, I couldn't see clearly the thing. To me, it looked like small beads on his palm. As he came nearer, he showed us a gold necklace. He said in Malay that he needed money and wanted to sell the gold necklace for RM150! Quickly we told him that we didn't want it and he left the place! Thank God we are not harmed as anything could happen that time! So I learned a lesson today... Be alert at all times, be extra careful with strangers and pray for God's protection.

Age of Glory

This tv show is really nice! Very touching... Story talks about the life of three girls, how pitiful they are, and the tough life they have to go through. Story mainly revolves around fame, money and love... This is locally produced, with Malaysian celebrities showing off their talents! A show worth watching... Wonder what will the ending be? Do catch it on ntv7, Mon-Thurs 9:45pm! or watch online. ;)

Baking Egg Tarts

Just now in the evening, I thought of baking egg tarts since Chai Lim has given me the recipe about a week ago in her blog. Saw her post of egg tarts before that looked so delicious! See this! Therefore without delay I asked from her since I have time to bake now. This is the first time I make egg tarts ler.. I followed her recipe totally. The baking was not really successful but I managed to bake some good ones as I think the egg tart molds that Lim used are bigger than mine... so this caused my pastry to be quite thick and some left over of egg tart filling. Anyway, here are the ingredients.. ^_^

Dough is ready


Filling the tart shell...

Ready to be baked in oven!

Finally they are ready to be served! ;) Actually this is the second tray, first tray a bit burnt.. -.-" coz of the time, remember to watch the tarts to prevent being burnt.

As I said... there was some left over of egg tart filling, so my sis and I thought of making this giant egg tart pie to use up the egg filling. We made another new pastry using the APPLE PIE recipe that I use to bake! Not from the egg tart recipe.

See! While the egg pie was baked in the oven, the filling grew bigger and bigger! Like a pregnant mum's tummy.. haha.. breathe in, breathe out.. :P

If any of you are interested to bake, do check out the recipe in Chai Lim's blog here & egg tart picture! ^_^

Reminder: The recipe above serves 12. A 12-muffin tray can be used, or like mine, can use a 6-muffin tray but bake 2 rounds. Salt can be reduced according to your own taste. Time to bake is 15-20 mins, my oven applies to 15 mins with tarts preheated together in oven. Just watch out the tarts when it turns brown.

4th Sem Break

Fourth Semester Break has just begun! Ended my last paper on the 23rd, then 6 of us consist of uni mates and course mates went to one of our friend, Hooi Sin's house in Kapar, Klang for a 3 days,2 nights stay. We really enjoyed ourselves as her family offered their big house which is fully furnished for us to stay. They do not live there as they have another house, the old one. This place is located outskirts of the city, and I was really amazed during the long journey there. ;) Of course we did not miss out the famous cuisine such as Bak Kut Teh, seafood, and hand-made Pan Mee.


While we were in the midst of having K-session at Green Box, one of us was invited to go out for this game with other customers, making a partition by collecting the most green peas among the red beans. In the end, we won! We thought that we'll be given extra session, voucher or dinner, but we got a bottle of sparkling juice for the prize only... In the evening, we had badminton session at the sports complex. At night, we played mahjong, I learnt it for the first time, knew how to play at last! ^_^

All in all, it was really fun during the trip to Klang this time. ;)

Meeting with Nuan Shu, my Form 2 to Form 5 classmate, a bright student in Sunway Uni College before & currently working in Ernst & Young. Picture was taken at her mum's retirement dinner, also my mummy's school's principal. Venue : Palace of The Golden Horses

Last but not least, my task for this 2 months break will be planting Kangkung (water convolvulus) for my final year project!! I need to choose a type of vegetable or herb for my research. They are in the process of growing already.

Day 7

&

Day 21

I hate this thing

This thing came to my house! Yesterday when I was walking towards the flower pots I saw this creature, and it gave me a shock. This was not the first time, the second one! The first was killed not long ago, then came this one. Maybe it came to take revenge? Hehe, no idea, might have just come to find its friend.

Notice it? At the Aloe vera plant, beside the dried leaf.

Another clearer view...

it crawled to the bicycle wheel, scary!

as long as this

Sigh. Don't know where it goes now. Hope won't see u again la, creature~

For the shopaholics & fashion enthusiasts

I found this website which gives a list of online shopping directory for most of the boutiques in Klang Valley and also online shops/boutiques we can find which are operating in Malaysia (mostly in KL). All of the sites/blog shops are linked and web address are given. So can just browse through all the collections in the various sites. It's definitely a one stop page for all things fashion with just one click! ;)

Desert Rose

The search for Adenium obesum , in mandarin called fu gui hua 富贵花, a.k.a Desert Rose, for our Plant Structure and Function subject's presentation.

Humungous stems!

Finding Shelter

11.3.08This annoying cat had been making noise the whole night outside of the house due to bad weather. It even went under the car bonnet to hide and make noise. I guess it was very hungry and finding shelter. Photo was taken to find its whereabout as it was too annoying. In the end it was found under the drain, hiding there. Poor cat.

My First Vote on Election Day

This morning, before going to work part-time as usual, I went to vote for the first time of my life! ^_^ Quite happy as I have the chance to cast my vote in this election for this year as I just registered to be a voter last year soon after my birthday. My IC number was the last in the name list at the polling station. According to the person in charge who checked the IC, I'm the youngest voter there. ;)

Happy Valentine's
