Malaysia is in World Spotlight with Baton's Visit

Malaysian is familiar with Commonwealth Games as we have held it back in year 1998. 20 years later, the XXI Commonwealth Games will be held in Australia’s premier beach-side city of the Gold Coast next year, from 4-15 April 2018. It is set to be one of the most memorable and picturesque Games ever staged.

In conjunction with this, Malaysia has welcome the 2018 Commonwealth Games Queen’s Baton Relay this October as part of the longest and most accessible relay in Commonwealth history on the way to the host city, Australia’s Gold Coast.

The XXI Commonwealth Games will involve more than 6600 athletes and officials with thousands of international visitors expected to flock to the popular holiday city known for its golden beaches, world-class attractions and easy-going lifestyle.

In fact, the Queen’s Baton Relay (QBR) began at Buckingham Palace on Commonwealth Day, Monday, March 13, 2017, when Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will place her message to the Commonwealth inside the GC2018 Baton.

The Baton will travel 230,000km over 388 days through 70 Commonwealth nations on its journey to, and across, Australia and eventually to the Gold Coast for the Games’ Opening Ceremony where the Queen’s message will be read.

The Baton has arrived in Kuala Lumpur on Monday, October 16, 2017 before departing on Saturday, October 21 for Brunei. The best part of Malaysian stop is we got to meet Borobi, the blue surfing koala and official mascot for the 2018 Games, flying in specially from the Gold Coast to join the Queen’s Baton Relay in Malaysia. Borobi will appear in Malaysia only in the whole South East Asia region, how lucky we are. Borobi is so cute in real, many people has took the chance to take pictures with him.

Malaysia Online Stationery Store

I personally love to shop stationery as I still using the old method to write down notes on papers. Stationery department is the session that I and my children would always spend money at when we go to a bookstore. Now, with the technology we can even shop for stationery from home or any places with Internet access from online stationery store, hurray!

I recently found the online stationery store that is originated from Malaysia. Sassy is an online gift and a lifestyle store that has almost everything we need. From Journals, diary, notebook, planners, files, clip board, listpad and many more. You can even buy mugs and tumber from Sassy, isn't it cool?

I have received some samples from sassy over the mail last week. The parcel was heavy because it contains some essential stationery as you seen here. It was nicely wrapped hence the items inside was in good condition. At first glance, I love their classy and bold but not too fancy designs. Their products are priced at fair price, Sassy is indeed a great stationery Malaysia for all of us.

Overall, I appreciate that all the items are in premium quality. It is a joy when writing down my thoughts on their notebooks because the good paper quality.

Australian International School Recognised as First Visible Learning School in the World

As a parents of two, I emphasize a lot on my kids' educational journey. Education begins in early years, we as a parents should let our child explore, extend and excel in their academy. In fact, Education today is no longer about the consumption of knowledge. Schools today are preparing their students for challenges in real life and imparting skills that they would use in a highly competitive 21st century. With that, the role of a teacher in moulding citizens of the future is an ever important one and the learning approach in schools needs to change to reflect the needs of the future.

The Australian International School Malaysia, a part of Taylor’s Schools, knows how the delivery of an international curriculum is and has invested in equipping its teachers and students with a new teaching and learning method called the Visible Learning approach alongside the Australian curriculum. The school which has offered an Australian education in Malaysia for the past 17 years, held a launch ceremony on Thursday, 12 October 2017 to announce that it is the first Certified Visible Learning School in the world. This is testimony to its commitment to deliver outstanding teaching and learning practices at its beautiful campus in Seri Kembangan.

We were honoured to be invited to witness this memorable moment at the launch event. We have saw a lot of great performances by the talented students from AISM before the event began.

“The number one thing that differentiates an impactful teacher from others is their passion about children’s learning; a teacher who has taken time and effort to build up trust between themselves and the student. We are working hard to ensure this in our schools,” says BK Gan, President of Taylors Schools.

I first heard about deer placenta health supplement on a workshop that I attended months ago. According to the speaker, deer placenta is the latest health supplement that provides many benefits including youthful and improve blood circulation.

So coincidentally, my friend has introduced me the Lunior Deer Placenta Plus Enteric-Coated Soft Gel last week. Hence, I grabbed the golden chances to try it out since many people has already consuming it with good feedback.

As we know, placenta is a vital organ that is naturally needed for exchange of nutrients between the mother and the fetus. Ancient Chinese people explored the power of placenta as a source rich in nutrition, which nourishes the human body. Now, Deer placenta is preferred over other sources of placenta as New Zealand deer is known to be disease-free and a rich source of nutrients as well as certain growth factors which could be used for restoration of skin health and other benefits. The product is farmed from best sourced of New Zealand deer.

Made by Alpha Laboratories (NZ) Limited in New Zealand, Lunior Deer Placenta Plus Enteric-Coated Soft Gel comes in a 30 soft gels pack. Each soft gel contains 100mg deer placenta extract (20:1, equivalent to deer placenta fresh 2000mg), 200 mg Grape Seed Oil, 180mg Squalene and 50mg Lyophilised Royal Jelly Powder.
