Famous Breakfast Around The World

Did you know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day?

Siega-Riz, Popkin and Carson (1998) defined breakfast as any food, beverages or both consumed anytime between 5am and 10am and not the first meal you had when you wake up, especially if you wake up at 12pm.


Kah!

Children who eat breakfast perform better at school. They have better cognition and concentration. Eating breakfast is like recharging your brain and body for the day. 


Here's the tricky part. What to eat for breakfast? 

You have to eat the right kind of food to sustain your hunger until lunch time. Foods like sugary cereals, pastries or other high sugar foods caused sugar/energy spike and leave you feeling drained and hungry before mid-day. 

Chose to eat fruits, complex carbs or protein instead.

Eggs are good. It can be scrambled, boiled or made into omelette.

CPPS Shemale?

Shemale ke?? Nothing related. Just that I like this pic and how I picture myself when looking at my phone. Walaupun CPPS jarang ngepost cerita pasal Tinder, tak semestinya CPPS tak main Tinder lagi. Sesekali bila bosan, iols swipe-swipe la jugak kiri kanan kan. Saje bagi jari-jemari lemah gemalai ni bersenam sikit. Kekadang tu saje la kan nak networking. Tapi setakat tu je la kan. Sebab up to a certain point, Tinder ni bosan jugak. You have to put up with a lot of small talks, shallow conversations and jerks who think with their dicks. So biasanya bila uols sama-sama swipe right tu, maka uols dah connected and boleh lah mula mengejas. Biasanya si jantan akan text "Hey" Lepas tu uols pun reply "Hey. How are you?" Lepas tu krik-krik 2-3 bulan. Ataupun "Hey" "Hey. How are you?" "Good good. And you" "Great. What do you do for a living" dah macam interview keje kan. Ada satu soalan ni ULTIMATE TIN...

The Perfect Staycation For An Introvert: The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur, A Lush Sanctuary In The City

The Perfect Staycation For An Introvert: The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur, A Lush Sanctuary In The City  I absolutely love staycations and almost always prefer places that are quiet, intimate with lots of greens.  Like a resort in the middle of the city. But to find one with an affordable rate in Kuala Lumpur city is quite a challenge. I happened to have a work-related thing in The Saujana Hotel and fell in love. Told myself that I will come back to spend a night (or two) here. The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur Nestled in 160 hectares of lush gardens is a luxury resort-style hotel, located in the suburbs and next to a golf course somewhere in Subang/Shah Alam. It's the perfect place for a rejuvenating weekend when you want to be away from the hustle-bustle of the city but still located in the city. J ust minutes away from Subang Airport. I love that it's near to   Citta Mall , Subang Parade and Empire Subang Shopping Gallery .  So you know, I got a lot of F&B options...

Footprints In The Sand

This is my favourite story of Jesus One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.  Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.  In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.  Sometimes there were two sets of footprints.  Other times there were one set of footprints.  This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life  When I was suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat,  I could see only one set of footprints.  So I said to the Lord, "You promised me, Lord,  That if I followed you, you would walk with me always.  But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life  There have only been one set of prints in the sand.  Why, When I have needed you most, you have not been there for me?" The Lord replied,  "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints  Is when I carried you." When times are tough, when you feel so lonely and ho...
