4. Have a sense of humor.
5. Break your worst habits.
6. Never ever be rude.
7. Look at yourself in the mirror and think positive thoughts about your appearance...If you like yourself, you'll be more likely to pay attention to others rather than focusing on your insecurities.
8. Don't be shy!! Say hello to people you haven't talked to in a while, send an email, a letter, a nice Post-It...Just keep in touch, it will be appreciated.
9. Say Hello, it never hurts to say "Hi, how are you doing?"

Fasting

During the Muslim month of Ramadan leading up to Hari Raya, it is mandatory for Muslims to fast from dawn to dusk. All Muslims except the young, old or infirm must fast. Many Muslims also abstain from pleasures such as cigarettes, eating, drinking and intimate relations with spouse doing during the daylight of the fasting month.Muslims usually wake before dawn to take a small meal called “suhoor”. They abstain from eating, drinking and sensual pleasures during the daylight hours of the blessed monthWidely, markets, or 'Ramadan bazaars' are held in many areas around the country, where all sorts of food and kuih — traditional Malay delicacies — are sold for breaking fast or buka puasa. Hotels and restaurants have also exploited this situation to offer exorbitant Ramadan buffets. This practice of overindulging has been criticised by Muslim clerics, notably the mufti of the state of Kelantan.

Mochi Ice Cream

Mochi Ice Cream is 1 of the most popular ice cream in Asian but not in Malaysia. So this is the first time i heard about it. Some one told me that the ice cream is popular in Japan.

Ingredients that you need to make the Mochi Ice Cream is ice cream flavor of your choice, 100 grams of glutinous-rice flour, 180 ML of water, 50 grams of sugar and cornstarch. So there are 8 steps to make Mochi Ice Cream and there are:

1. Let the ice cream sit in room temperature for a few minutes or until it becomes soften. Scoop and roll the ice cream into 10 round balls. Put the ice cream balls back in the freezer to re-harden.
2. Mix the water and flour together well in a bowl. You'll want to achieve a paste. Dump the sugar in and mix it until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Cover the batter with plastic wrap (for example Saran Wrap). Place and heat in the microwave for two minutes. Remove the plastic wrap and stir the batter.
4. Place the plastic wrap on it again and put it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds. Take it out and stir the batter.
5. Cover a chopping or cutting board with plastic wrap. Then spread and cover the board in cornstarch. Make sure that it's a good amount and not an amount that the mochi batter will stick to the plastic wrap or board.
6. Put the batter onto the board when it's cooled down. Cut and divide the batter into 10 pieces.
7. Pick up one piece of dough. Flatten it with your palm and wrap it around a ball of ice cream. Repeat this process for the other pieces of mochi and ice cream.
8. Place it in the freezer to re-harden the ice cream. Serve when ready.

Also i have some tips for you:

• You can use any ice cream flavor you wish. The most popular flavor in ice cream stores are: green tea, vanilla, strawberry, and red bean.
• The bigger the ice cream balls are, the more dough you have to put around it.
• Be sure not to stretch the dough around the ball to the point where the dough breaks. If this happens, mold a little more dough where the hole is.

Langkawi Island

One of the most famous island in Malaysia is Langkawi Island. Langkawi Island is the main island are richly blessed with a heritage of fabolous myths and legends. As a natural paradise, the island are perhaps unmatched anywhere alse in Southeast Asia. The rustic beauty of the island is in itself a compelling attraction.
The name Langkawi is a combination of "Lang" and "Kawi". "Lang" comes from the Malay word helang which means eagle. In the past, the land was a home to innumerable eagles. "Kawi" is Sanskrit for marble, which is found in excess in this part of Malaysia. Both words are joined to form the word "Helangkawi" which ultimately became Langkawi.
Another reference found in the book by Tun Mohamed Zahir titled The Legends of Langkawi which says that the name is a mix of two Sanskrit words—"Langka" (beauty) and "Wi" (innumerable).
The legendary Isle of Langkawi is located in Kedah, northwest of Peninsular Malaysia. Comprising a group of 104 islands, the biggest being Langkawi, it is a place for those seeking tranquility and refuge from the hustle and bustle of city life. So powerful is its charm on visitors that many have returned to the island time and again.

Critical Thinking

A person can be good at critical thinking, meaning that the person can have the appropriate dispositions and be adept at the cognitive processes, while still not being a good (in the moral sense) critical thinker. For example, a person can be adept at developing arguments and then, unethically, use this skill to mislead and exploit a gullible person, perpetrate a fraud, or deliberately confuse and confound, and frustrate a project. The experts were faced with an interesting problem. Some, a minority, would prefer to think that critical thinking, by its very nature, is inconsistent with the kinds of unethical and deliberately counterproductive examples given. They find it hard to imagine a person who was good at critical thinking not also being good in the broader personal and social sense. In other words, if a person were "really" a "good critical thinker" in the procedural sense and if the person had all the appropriate dispositions, then the person simply would not do those kinds of exploitive and aggravating things. The large majority, however, hold the opposite judgment. They are firm in the view that good critical thinking has nothing to do with... any given set of ethical values or social mores. The majority of experts maintain that critical thinking conceived of as we have described it above, is, regrettably, not inconsistent with its unethical use. A tool, an approach to situations, these can go either way, ethically speaking, depending on the character, integrity, and principles of the persons who possess them. So, in the final analysis the majority of experts maintained that "it is an inappropriate use of the term to deny that someone is engaged in critical thinking on the grounds that one disapproves ethically of what the person is doing. What critical thinking means, why it is of value, and the ethics of its use are best regarded as three distinct concerns."
