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!
10 Incredible Health Benefits of Fasting:
1. Fasting Promotes Detoxification
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.

Earlier today, me and a few of colleagues decided to order Domino's Pizza for Iftar. So we did the order via the website. The website is so beautiful and user friendly, and I have fun doing the order. It was at 4.30pm, and I have selected the order to sent at 6.00pm, hope that the oder will reach the office just nice for Iftar.
At around 6.40pm, I called Domino's Call Centre to ask about the status of my order. Mr Akma told me, the delivery boy will reach my place in 5 minutes.
A few minutes later, my housemate called saying the delivery boy is at home with my order! After spoken to the delivery boy, he said he will send the order to my office address.
At around 7.15pm, Subang Perdana branch called telling me that the order will be sent late because delivery boy have to come back to the branch, before sending the order to my office. Admitting it was my fault, I agreed to get the order 30 minutes later.
Exactly after the Azan played on the television, I saw a guy in blue shirt came in to my office. It was Mr Tajul, with my order, 15 minutes earlier than expected. At that time, I was ready to break my fast with just warm water (sedihnyer!), waiting for my order to came in 15 minutes later.
Knowing that Mr Tajul, came in with no food for breaking fast, I gave him a can of chrysanthemum tea (teh bunga). I know i was nothing compare to the effort Mr Tajul took to send the order right on time.
So, we had our pizza happily, and sent a compliment to Domino's hope that they will appreciate him as a very good staff! And, he keep on apologizing for the delivery delay even though the silly mistake was by me! Well, that is customer service!

Today is the 3rd day of Ramadhan! No where can compare fasting at home! Wake up early in the morning, dishes are ready for Sahur (sahoor, i saw in the internet). But, there something special as I have experience some "1st time" experience.
To start with, the day before Ramadhan. My father and I went to Swee Kang, which is one of the famous ABC (Air Batu Campur) shops in Kuching. That day was my 1st time I have to wait for a table! It took me around 20 minutes, to get a table for me and my father. The ordering part, I have used to it as we have to wait some time to get the order to reach our table. But, it is fine for me.
At the night of the 2nd day of Ramadhan, which was last night, again another 1st time experience happened. The 1st time ever I went for a lepak with a monk (a sexy monk, a friend of mine refering to). Hehehe. Or a tall, dark, handsome monk! Hahaha. Forgive me. We have been friend for almost 10 years! We used to work in the same company, looking for customers here and there. We have the ups and downs for sometime before I moved to Miri then to Subang. Met him once in KL a few years back. Before he started to become a monk a year and a half ago. Last night, it was so cool when all eyes are on you, but I mean on him really. A young monk lepakking at a coffee shop in Kuching. Hehehe. When I was in a shop with full of chinese youngsters, I do not look to much different as I am half chinese with chinese features! Hehe

Happy Ramadhan 1436h/2015m!
hehe .. good day to all .. quite interesting day today .. almost confirm that I will not handle the next new batch .. that’s mean, either I will handle next group, which is not really my preference, or else, I will just become the normal staff as before ..
The last 2 months, I can say I’ve learnt a lot .. and I’ve shared a lot .. still, there are still a lot for me to improve .. as a normal person, I am not perfect .. I want to as perfect as possible ..
I’m going to miss this 2 months experience .. working in the morning,straight for 2 months .. but I do miss the shift patterns that I’ve absorbed for the past 2 years plus ..
Can’t wait for Ramadhan! Most probably this coming webnesday! Woohoohoo .. Let’s see wait will happen this coming month ..

huhu .. x sangka dah hari ke17 (7 sep 09) umat islam d malaysia n seluruh dunia mengerjakan ibadah puasa .. wah .. sungguh indah sekali bahasa ku .. haha .. tahun ni, aku dpt katakan yg tahun ni adalah puasa yg agak mcabar n menguji diri ku yg kecil ini .. gatal sgt tangan aku nak menaip n bcerita kat semua ..
d awal ramadhan, aku dah merasa drama ..
tsepit d tgh2, aku terima seadanya ..
apabila aku pikir balik, ada hikmah disebaliknya ..
bagaikan apa yg kulakukan, tiada salahnya ..
merasa bsahur n bbuka ngan parents, sudah kurasa ..
bila agaknya, bersama adik beradik tcinta ..
singgah sahur n sungkey d rumah member, sungguh enak semuanya ..
mcuci mata d bazaar ramadhan, sungguh gila n berani mati la ..
disindir org, sudah kurasa ..
tp apa daya ku, terpaksa jua bmuka2 ..
juadah thidang, x ingin ku mnyentuhnya ..
tp bagi ku, biar aku buat bodo saja ..
kalau ku bsalah, akan ku mohon ampunnya ..
kalau tidak, tengok lah keadaan nya ..
secara azali, aku bukan pendendam org nya ..
tp yg pasti, akan ku ikut kehendak nya ..
p/s cobaan berani mati .. malu .. malu .. *blush*
