10,000 Steps Achieved

how far can 10,000 steps bring u?
i do not know but it doesn't seem to be an easy job.
Average person walk around 3000 - 4000 steps a day.

Today i achieved 10,000 steps milestone!!!

mind my toes and slipper. I'm not an artist.

I 1st wrote about 10,000 steps challenge in 2012. But not quite long after that i didn't really care much about it until this few weeks when i read about health tips from Reader Digest. It struck me again.
Thanks to the cancellation of school bus, i have to walk extra miles to go to and fro class.

Fret not, for those who loves shopping or too busy for exercise there is a simple way to achieve that!!
From my experience, spending 3-4hours shopping can easily achieve 10,000 steps. (not hi-tea)
Doing what we like and exercising at the same time is the best of life!

Benefit of walking 10,000 steps

Build Stamina
Burn Excess Calories
Have a Healthier Heart

What are u waiting for??
start walking... around the house, in the office, window shopping, go to school.........
To aid ur calculation, u can use pedometer to calculate ur steps. (i calculate it myself)

If u think walking alone is too boring, u can get a partner so u can chat along, get an mp3 player or with ur phone to listen to ur favourite songs, plan ur walking days or route with interesting scenery.

The next announcement!

Christmas at TMLM

I know that Christmas is so last year, but i'm too excited about my pre-Christmas celebration at TMLM so i decided to blog about it.

FYI, TMLM = Tokio Marine Life Insurance Malaysia, which is the company that i done my intern for the past 3months.
i had great time there, although working life is seriously bored but i felt lucky to have this group of friendly and nice colleague to work with.

So, my christmas celebration start 2-3weeks before christmas!!
it all started with secret santa

We 1st draw our angel and kept it secret. No one is allow to know other's angel.
I am the secret santa for my angel.
we can do anything for our angel but we cannot let he/her know our identity or else we lose and will be punished!!!

I didn't did much for my angel,
my 1st present to my angel is just a simple notes.
then i gave him a kit kat and notes again..
then i gave him some christmas ornament... and some notes again..
so my the overall that i can describe as a hint for my angel is
"all handwritten, no printed stuff"
OMG!! i have no idea what else i can say about it.. hahha
I am such a not so nice santa...

BUT!!
I have a very sweet secret santa.. i love her so much!!!
and i love all the surprises she gave me!!! (I must learn from her. hehe)

The 1st surprises from my secret santa!!
I like the notes that state " Make Today Ridiculously Amazing! It's Friday!!"

I drank the Yakult before lunch on the same day but the cookies happen to be my dinner on some day when i had nothing to eat at hostel..

2nd Surprises!!
it was on my table when i'm back from lunch!!

This chocolate crispy bar happen to be my breakfast on some day when i was late to work..

so convenience.. haha

3rd Surprises!!! It's Victoria's Secret Lip Gloss!!!! Love it so much!
and i like that " Happy Girls Are The Prettiest" which i agree

The 4th and last gift from my santa after she knew i'm going to end my intern soon.

I felt so lucky to get 4surprise gift from my secret santa! and i love them all!!

Not only that i got surprise gift from my secret santa, i also got it from my Supervisor (manager)!!!

This is very surprise.. haha..

Loacker from my Supervisor!!!

This Loacker is freaky nice. But the price is kinda expensive for me as a poor student.. haha

To add more joy to Christmas, we have also gift exchange!!!

and also dress code to match the atmosphere. (we can choose to wear white, red or green)

Starbucks Mug hid in Converse bag!!!

I am so surprise when i saw Starbucks bag inside the Converse paper bag. i really thought it was something from Converse store.. haha..

My 1st Starbucks product!! can i bring use this mug at Starbuck store? Do i get a discount like they offer for using Starbucks tumbler?

I really enjoy my intern at TMLM. U guys are really nice people that taught me lots of thing.

thanks for giving me my 1st experience of Halloween Party!!

i have only saw that from Western Movie but never experience it in real.

(i did not actually dress up too just with a witch hat)

THE BEST CHRISTMAS / NEW YEAR GIFT that you can give!

hello Malaysian, you are one of the luckiest nation in the world
as we have virtually no natural disasters (not to mention those disaster caused by human activity)
and we may not have to face the consequence of these events.
hence, most of us cannot feel how they feel.
(honestly i don't feel how they feel too as i never experienced it and i don't wish to experience it)

The latest massive destruction caused by Typhoon Haiyan in Philippines left those survivor homeless, foodless, helpless.
Moreover, almost all communication and transportation system is break down at the affected area. there is limited flight that send food for the survivor and to move them to safer place. there is basically not enough food supply for everyone.

During this festive season, why not spread the joy with more people?
with little effort, we could help many.
instead of donating unwanted clothes (there is too much work and large storage space to classify and distribute the clothes), shoe, toys.... the best way to help is probably by donating money so the volunteer or survivor can buy things they needed.

Option 1
I had just made my donation at here. (or u can contact me to help u with the transaction if u know me.)
donation as little as RM5 is acceptable.
is the mindset and the helping heart that matters.
with this simple steps (which u can do it comfortably laying on ur bed or sitting at ur table) u can help a starving child, a dying man or a sick woman.

Option 2
made donation through purchase of product.
In Natta Cosme, they believe that absolute beauty does not stem solely from the external perfect skin, the internal beauty express through various kind acts is equally crucial to show ur unique gorgeousness as well.

this is the list of product that u could purchase and simultaneously contribute the the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in Philippines. all proceed go to the charity fund.
buy all u need and help those in need. u can make the world a better place.
click here to go directly to these charity product page.

sorry i took the picture from google.com (as i don't have these picture myself)

destruction caused by Typhoon Haiyan. it gonna takes long for reconstruction.

the innocent look on a child face.

i cannot bear with it when i saw these little angels face.
