Hehehe. As if like I am doing the Promotion during Ramadhan! Actually, there are a few promotion on going during this Holy month in Malaysia. I am listing just a few that have caught my attention!
The act of fasting promotes detoxification, since fat is burned and toxins are released. As the body breaks down its fat reserves, it mobilizes and eliminates stored toxins.
2. Fasting Improves Insulin Sensitivity
Fasting improves insulin sensitivity (which is a very big deal). When your cells are tickled by the effects of insulin, they do a much better job modulating your blood sugar levels after meals and this makes life a lot easier for your poor old pancreas.
3. Fasting Rests Digestive System
During fasting, the digestive organs rest. Fasting gives the digestive system a much-needed rest. After fasting, both digestion and elimination are invigorated.
4. Fasting Boosts Immunity
Fasting boosts immunity if one is careful not to break their fast with an abnormally excessive amount of food. Fruits contain vitamins A and E which boost immunity so one should take care of their balanced diet in between fasts if this is to take place. Fruits should be eaten a lot while breaking the fast.
5. Fasting Corrects High Blood Pressure
Fasting corrects high blood pressure without drugs. Fasting will normalize blood pressure in the vast majority of cases, the blood pressure will remain low after the fast, if the person follows a health-supporting diet and lifestyle.
6. Fasting May Help to Overcome Addictions
Fasting makes it easy to overcome bad habits and addictions. Many people have overcome tobacco and alcohol addictions by fasting, and even drug addictions. Fasting rapidly dissipates the craving for nicotine, alcohol, caffeine and other drugs.
7. Fasting Promotes Weight Loss
Fasting initiates rapid weight loss with little or no hunger. It reduces the store of fats in the body. However fasting is not a good weight loss strategy. Reducing fat and sugar intake, and increasing fruits and rest are better measures to achieve weight reduction.
8. Fasting Resolves Inflammatory Response
Some studies show that fasting triggers resolution of inflammatory diseases and allergies, examples of such being arthritis and skin diseases such as psoriasis. Some experts even suggest that fasting could magically heal the inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis.
9. Fasting Promotes Healthy Diet
Fasting is the perfect gateway to a healthful diet and lifestyle. Going on a fast gives you the motivation and enthusiasm to make a fresh start. It has been observed that fasting reduces craving for processed foods. It promotes desire for natural foods, especially water and fruits.
10. Fasting Clears the Skin and Whitens the Eyes
Fasting clears the skin and whitens the eyes. It is common to see skin eruptions clear while fasting, and the whites of the eyes never look so clear and bright as they do after fasting.
Reached home at around 7.30am from work. After lunch at home, we off to Aeon Shah Alam. Went to the toys area for the boys to take photo with the Gundam display. We had the famous Gindaco Takoyaki and more photos.
Then, we off to the i-city! The trick to get a lower entrance fee is, to come in at 7.00pm onwards! i-city theme park is closed during Ramadhan month!

Heading to Genting Highlands for our one night stay at the First World Hotel and the Power Rangers Live in Genting 2016 show! We took the Express Bus from One Utama at 11.30am. We purchased the bus tickets together with the Genting Skyway tickets.
We meet up my sister, her husband and the youngest of The Amielzas at the lobby. We booked 2 Triple Deluxe Rooms with 3 VIP Adult ticket and 2 VIP Child tickets for the Power Rangers show.
Reached the hotel at around 1.00pm, since we have small children and elderly, we proceed with early checkin. Early checked in cost us MYR5.00 for each room. At that time, no connecting rooms and no nearby rooms available. So, one of the rooms at the 23rd floor, and the other one was at 27th floor. So, me and my parents were in the room on the 23rd floor and my sister and her family were on the 27th floor room.
At around 3pm, I went down to get the tickets at the Genting Box Office at Genting Grand. At that time, there were a lot of people coming up as the standard check in time is at 3.00pm!
We had dinner first before we go to the show.
The Power Ranger show was at night, at 9pm and finished at 10pm.

Checked out at 8.00am, since we to need to be at the Genting Skyway station before 9.30am to catch the bus there. Then from Genting Skyway, we took the Express bus to One Utama.
Last week, my parents and my nephews came for the School Holiday Trip. They stayed at my place for 6 nights, plus 1 night at the First World Hotel in Genting!

They reached KLIA on the 26 May 2016. Since I was on duty, my cousin went and picked them up n we met at Subang Skypark Terminal, before I took over and sent them home first. The boys followed me to the office until I was off duty. I brought them to the nearby shopping mall, Star Avenue aka Arena Bintang for dinner, at Texas Chicken.

On the 3rd day, the 28 May 2016, I had an appointment with the service centre to service my car (named Shrek) at 12pm. The original plan was, my cousin (me and my siblings called him Abg Ah Ming) will picked them up and bring them to Sunway Lagoon. But since, my other cousin's (Ah Lok) wife's flight was cancelled on the the day before (27 May 2016), her flight was scheduled to reach KLIA2 in the afternoon. So, they have to picked her up from the airport. So for not giving so much trouble to my cousin, Ah Ming, I decided to dropped my parents and my nephews at the Citta Mall, while I sent the car to the service centre.
Due to so many cars at the service centre, I spent 2 hours there! Then, I rushed to Citta Mall for lunch with my father and the boys at Nandos, since my mother is 'muak' (queasy) with chicken, she went for lunch alone at the Onde Onde and she had 'rojak'. Then, we went straight home since I need to go to work at night.
Sunday, 29 May 2016
I reached home home at 7.30am from work. We had 'roti canai' for breakfast, and additional 1 'nasi lemak' each for me and my father! Then I went straight to bed. I woke up for lunch at around 1pm. Then at around 2pm, we were ready to go to One Utama! The boys took photo with the Bumble Bee car since there was a 'Autobots Rolls Out by Toys'R'Us' promo there.
I have to renew my onecard for me to enrolled the boys for free the onecard kids+. So, the boys received a free notebook each! (Below photos taken at home)
On the way to the car, Apip saw the eggs capsule vending machine and insisted to get on of those. The trick was, to have 2 pieces of 50 cents coins to get 1 egg capsule! At the that time, I only have 1 piece of 50 cent coin. My parents had none. So I walked around that floor to get the coins. Managed to get 2 pieces at the Teh Tarik Place and the other 2 at Kluang Station! Then, we ran to the vending machines to get 2 eggs. Actually, there are fish food inside! So, spent some time feeding the fishes at 2 small ponds!
Next stop was the Setia City Central Park and Setia City Mall. Brought the boys to the park for afternoon walk. Spent some time at the playground, took photos at the fountain and had dinner there.
