Where can I find Black Soap?

Have you heard of the African black soap? I have, and have used it. I bought it from the United States last year and it worked great especially in removing DRY DEAD SKIN. Though it's called the black soap, it's not BLACK! African Black soap has also been used to achieve beautiful skin, and I noticed that after using a bar of the black soap, my skin is softer and clearer. This soap doesn't look like the ordinary soap sold at pharmacies. It's crumbly with coarse texture. I am trying to find a similar kind of soap in Malaysia but I can't find any at the moment. Google on the benefits on the black soap and you will find that it works wonders!!

Insured to be rest assured

I was frantically looking for a medical insurance for my family last week for "I don't know why" reason. I get alarmed at almost anything. This time I get excited about insurance. It's not that we're not insured. Everyone in the family, except hubby is insured. I don't understand why he refuses to take up a life insurance. To me, it's a kind of savings...for our retirement. Along's insurance is already matured and we're reaping the seeds of what we sow. I used it for his university funds. After "ransacking" my bookshelves, I found my 2 policies and Anga's policy and came to realize that Anga's policy will only mature when he turns 21. Aiyyooo why so long? Then I realized when I took up the policy for him, I thought I could prepare him financially when he gets married in the future....hahaha, one crazy mum I am and Ain has a policy with Takaful Malaysia. With my 2 policies, my hubby is going to be one rich man when I die. Lol.

I called up MAA enquiring about its Sihat Malaysia policy, thinking of a medical policy for the family, but an Indian lady from MAA who answered my call said, "why bother? you work for the govt right? you get all the benefits! you get 1st class treatment! why bother for a medical insurance?" her remarks made me have 2nd thoughts about this.

Arab Street Re-Visit

My sis invited me to join her for a Spore outing on a Thursday morning, and I thought I'd like to revisit Arab Street. The last time I was there was 20 years ago, and Arab Street has changed tremendously. There wasn't any old old stores left....but there were heaps of happenings around the area with Mediterranean and Arabic cuisine. I didn't shop much but bought 1 piece of Japanese cotton, 1 piece of French viscose and 1 piece of French voile, and 2 linen blouses. We stopped over at Zam Zam restaurant after asking around for its location. When I was young, my parents used to take us there for 'buka puasa'. We would do our Raya shopping around Arab Street area, then booked a corner at Zam Zam. Then dad would order carbonated drinks in glass bottles for each for us and beef murtabak for 'buka puasa'. Today, the murtabak from Zam Zam restaurant wasn't much to our liking as it was quite dry this time, but I guess it was a lot healthier as it uses olive oil.....Okay, pics of my Arab Street ventures for you my readers.

Strengthening English Language Teaching

Kak Linda spent a nite at the hotel where the conference was held. We had an elaborate Chinese course dinner...

The goody bag

I attended an ELTC-TED conference 2011 at the Royale Bintang Resort & Spa, and was surrounded by groups of English teachers. As a presenter at a workshop session, my presence at this conference was fully funded by the Ministry of Education. I see this experience to be very positive as I get a first hand information about what teaching language is like at schools. The KSSR syllabus has just been implemented to Year 1 pupils this year. It's about time language arts is implemented in our school system with the "FUN" factor to be prominent. But the problem about the "FUN" thing is how FUN can be assessed in an education system such as ours.
