Mr Lew and Elizabeth launching the AmLife World Mental Health Day 2020 campaign

In fact, year 2020 looks grim with the Covid-19 pandemic. Faced with threatening realities of health and life, loss of jobs, lack of social interactions, all these take a toll on everyone’s mental health, as well as adverse physical and emotional repercussions.

According to a survey by The Ministry of Health Malaysia showed that by 2020, mental health conditions are expected to be the second biggest health problem affecting Malaysians after heart diseases. One in three Malaysian adults aged 16 years and above (29.2 percent) have a mental health condition, nearly triple from 11.2 percent in 2006. Amongst Malaysian youth aged 13 to 17, one in five has depression, two in five have anxiety and one in 10 has stress.

On the mental well-being of Malaysian households during MCO (Movement Control Order / Lockdown), the latest health survey conducted by Malaysian think tank The Centre with 1084 respondents in Malaysia indicated:

· 45% of the respondents reported experiencing negative mental well-being during the MCO, with different levels of severity.
· 22% reported experiencing severe and extremely severe anxiety, with 20% and 15% of the respondents reporting severe and extremely severe depression and stress respectively.
· Women and those below the age of 35, reported experiencing higher levels of negative emotions. 18-26% of women stated that they experienced severe and extremely severe depression, anxiety, and stress.

Abroad, according to the International Association for Suicide Prevention, USA (IASP), one billion people across the world are thought to have a mental or substance use disorder and anyone, anywhere, can be affected. Depression alone is on track to be the leading disease burden in the next 10 years.

Mr. Lew Mun Yee, Founder & President of AmLife said good quality sleep improves our psychological and mental health and vice versa. Physiological health and psychological issues are escalating globally. One in five persons has a type of mental health issue. Therefore AmLife stresses sleep education which is part of our business philosophy,” explained Lew.

Jelly Cakes in Malaysia 缤纷的燕菜蛋糕

小时候，最快乐的时光就是妈妈做燕菜糕的时候了。看着妈妈把燕菜原料煮好后，倒进模子里再放进冰箱里，我们兄弟姐妹就很期待我们一起吃那清凉冷冻的燕菜糕的时候了。燕菜糕成了我儿时最美好的回忆之一。随着我们慢慢长大，妈妈就比较少做燕菜糕了。

现在，当我们要吃燕菜糕时，我们就上网向 Q Jelly Bakery Shop 订购。说起 Q Jelly Bakery Shop， 其实我们认识它已经数十年了。话说我们的结婚蛋糕也是从那里来的。

我们一家大小一直都喜欢 Q Jelly Bakery Shop 缤纷的燕菜蛋糕。它们家的燕菜蛋糕很新鲜，味道不太甜。而且它们家一直创新食谱和美丽的造型。

每次节日，它们家也会推出应节的产品。例如燕菜中秋月饼，到这个月的万圣节燕菜蛋糕。是不是很可爱啊？

它们家也有一系列的生日蛋糕，满月蛋糕等等供我们选择。

雪隆区肚子饿的时候千万不可以去的餐厅

今天是马来西亚雪隆区第二次 CMCO 开始的一天。这一次的有条件行动管制我们要从十月十四号一直闭关到十月二十七号。还好我们还可以到餐馆用餐，前提是每张桌子最多两个人。

那我就分享一下我亲身体验，在雪隆区肚子饿的时候千万不可以去的餐厅。那就是坐落在旧古仔花园的 Papasan Canteen 食堂。店家就在崇文华小四号门的斜对面。

之所以说肚子饿的时候千万不可以去，是因为它的人龙可真是吓死人的。来了好多次，无论中午或晚上都一定要在人齐后才能拿号码。然后随便就得等上三十分钟以上，你说，如果你肚子饿，你会饿晕了吗？

那么，为什么我们还坚持等待呢？原因只有一个，Papasan Canteen 食堂的食物是平，靓，正！意思就是又便宜，又好吃，又超级大份的！

如果你的胃很小的话，你肯定吃不完一份。不相信？来看图吧。
