Appreciation

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: 'I am blind, please help.' There were only a few coins in the hat.



A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?'



The man said, 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.'
What he had written was: 'Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.'

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

Invite others towards good with wisdom. Live life with no excuse and love with no regrets. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.

Great men say, 'Life has to be an incessant process of repair and reconstruction, of discarding evil and developing goodness... In the journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have the ticket of a good conscience.'

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling...
And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!

The Best Way to Cheer Yourself is to Cheer Somebody Else.

Keep Smiling!

Keratosis Pilaris (the chicken skin condition)

I've have been searching so long to determine whats my skin condition. It all appear on my upper arms, calf, and now worsen to thighs.
The skin are just like chicken skin with small red or white bumps. It can get itchy sometimes but mild one. It also look like whiteheads which you can squeeze and there's the white thing just like acne. This kind of KP usually appear on upper arms.


While on legs, it is more dark and red in colour. It will not appear like acne whiteheads. It will appear like a small coiled hair trapped beneath the rough bumps. Sometimes my itchy hand peel it off to get the hair out.

Last two weeks, I wnet to see doctor and he gave me some anti-fungal cream to apply. Apply it after bath and then apply lotion cream after 30 mins to lock in the treatment cream. It works and my KP on my arms appearing not that red and feel smoother. Although it is smoother but there still marks there, if untreated the rough bumps comes back.




I will keep you guys updated on my progress. below are some useful links relates to KP.
Hope it helps!

Update: Synargym at Kl Sentral

Hi All,

I would like to update on my previous post about Synargym. Well, after joining this gym for more than a year, I saw many changes in the gym. I have lots of opinions about this gym
Firstly, trainers keep on changing. Almost all the trainers has left and new faces in every 2-3 mths.
2) The rock climbing ... i think is for decoration only. When i asked around whether any trainers can guide on rock climbing, they said have to make appointment and the way they answer was not so confident and unsure on that...
3) Group classes - not much variety and very limited. Only once a week for a particular class and not crowded at all. I had been 1-1 with the trainers!! Imagine the crowd! & no classes on weekend!
4) As for the weights, my boyfriend actually complaint the weights are very light and limited.
5) Good thing is the gym is not too crowded and don't need to wait for some machines that you wanted to workout, they include towel service and key for locker ( instead of pad locks that sometimes you might forget).
6) As for the membership price, the staff are not pushy at all so dont worry. The price is fixed for RM150 or sign up 6mths for Rm120 and do ask for student price if you are a student RM90/mth. Minimum membership is only 3 mths!
