Relationships In Malaysia? How Do We Fare?

Image
Prudential Relationship Index 2016 in Malaysia I was recently exposed to the recent 2016 Prudential Relationship Index (PRI) and I found it to be really interesting. Did you know the 2016 Prudential Relationship Index for Malaysia is 71/100. This means, in Malaysia, on average, people’s primary relationship fulfils 71% of their desired relationship needs. A perfect score of 100% can never be achieved, but hey, we rank 5th equal out of 10 countries in Asia together with Thailand. That's something. Relationships In Malaysia? How Do We Fare?

Is It Essential To Fireproof Your Home?

Image
Is It Essential To Fireproof Your Home? It's not something we talk about, nor wish for it to befall us, or anyone we know. But there's a growing need to fireproof our homes in recent times.  According to a recent statement by the Fire and Rescue Department Director-General Datuk Wan Mohd Nor Ibrahim, households around the country should be equipped with at least smoke detectors in the kitchen and areas with electrical circuit, and a fire extinguisher. I'm guilty of not looking into this seriously yet, but it's worth a thought or two.  Is It Essential To Fireproof Your Home? Now here's an interesting fire extinguisher device

“La Crème de la Crème” (Cream of Europe) Showcase Think you've tried the best cream? Cream is an essential ingredient in many classic European dishes giving them a unique velvety, rich taste. It is also incredibly versatile and will enhance any recipe from a starter through to an incredible dessert, and adds a wonderfully soft consistency to sauces.

FRISO GOLD With LocNutri - New Improved Formula

FRISO GOLD With LocNutri - New Improved Formula Taking care of two very young boys below the age of 5 is a daunting task, with the hopes of the kids being healthy everyday. The child's digestion has always been important to me, where when they were young we actually checked their stools everyday and compared it from day to day. When they began taking milk formulas, we had to choose the perfect one, one which can actually help  children to digest milk's nutrient better by preserving it. FRISO GOLD with LocNutri with their newly improved formula does just that. Read on. FRISO GOLD With LocNutri - New Improved Formula

Triumph Malaysia : Valentine's Day Is Near!  Valentine's Day is just a week away, tick tock the clock counts down. If you have a significant other, you may be thinking of a gift to give this Valentines. So what have you planned? Personally, I always feel giving chocolate and flowers to be so cliché as everyone's doing the same thing more or less. Have you ever thought about lingeries and underwear? Don't start having naughty thoughts though, but a bit of creativity coupled with practicality helps to spark this idea of giving lingeries this Valentine's Day.  Triumph Gift Vouchers, The Best Gift She will Need this Valentines
