We all know that English is an important language, it is the language of science, aviation, computers, diplomacy, tourism and many more industries. Hence, we Asian parents are concerned about our children's struggle in English. Especially in non-English speaking family, which the main language in my family is still mandarin.

Sadly, our local education system doesn't really encourage English. My daughter has to speak only Mandarin in the Chinese primary school hence her English level has dropped significantly over the past few years.

Knowing that English is the language of International communication, the media and the Internet, so learning English is important for socializing and work. I have planned to enroll my children into English Language Centre for them to master English language better.

I have recently came to KLC Language Centre at Bandar Puteri Puchong. Originated from Johor, KLC Language Centre has developed a proven method that enables the children to use English like a PRO. KLC focuses on helping children unlock their full potential through groundbreaking educational methods. Using language as the foundation of their syllabus, KLC help their children to build and enhance their communication, leadership and cognitive thinking skills.

In 2014, KLC launched their Language Centres and the KLC's MASTER KEY programme to connect with more students who were interested in learning English and to address the gaps in reading fluency and spelling accuracy among young learners. These efforts resulted in a significant improvement in the reading and comprehension abilities of our students and an increased interest in book reading, as well as a boost in their confidence levels.

Knowing that a solid foundation in reading is crucial to a child's success as they progress through primary school, into secondary school and then in later life. KLC Language Centre is determined to raise literacy standards, especially of those not achieving the expected level. Master Key is a proven effective program that gives children the key to unlock the treasure chest of knowledge. It strengthens children attainment of a good standard of reading and can inspire in a lifetime love of reading. KLC Language Centre is adopting a small class setting of only 4 person in a class throughout an intensive training to achieve 6 times of learning efficiency.Unlike conventional methods that only emphasize on academic achievements, KLC's students enjoy an on experimental learning process that will give them a deep and well-rounded understanding of the world around them.

Form by dedicated and passionate professional educators, KLC ensures that each and every child that goes through their doors is nurtured to be the best that he or she can be. KLC Language Centre's goal is to provide children with an enjoyable and effective learning experience that will set them on a path to a life long success.

Mr. Sean Chia, CEO of KLC

We had the chance to meet Mr. Sean Chia, the CEO of KLC during the grand opening of KLC Language Centre, Puchong last Sunday. “We are doing everything we can to move faster so that our curriculum and teaching philosophy can flourish for the benefit of even more children”, sean shared at the launch event.

KLC Language Centre has won numerous awards throughout the years. Today, KLC Language Centre has many branches in Johor, Sri Petaling and Kuala Lumpur. For more information, visit KLC Website and follow their Facebook Page.

It was a memorable night for me on 27th Oct 2018. It was my first time witnessed a night marathon at Putrajaya Night Marathon 2018 held at Dataran Putrajaya, Precint 3.

Once I arrived Dataran Putrajaya, I saw a lot of participants turned up that night to participate the Full Marathon, half Marathon, 10km and 5KM RBC Race for The Kids (Family & Friends) categories. They all looked so energetic and excited to join the run.

Meanwhile, there were many activities going on at the various booths at the event. One of it was U.S. Potato. U.S. Potato has been proved a healthy food and it is perfect for runners too.

In fact, naturally nutrient-dense, one medium-sized (148gram) potato provides just 110 calories. There is no fat, no sodium, no cholesterol and contains 30% of your daily value of vitamin C. In fact, potatoes can be part of a weight management regimen. As a good carbohydrates food, potatoes fill you up, not out. Some research suggests that consuming carbohydrate along with protein post exercise may aid in recovery. A medium-size (148gm) U.S. fresh potato has 26 grams of carbohydrate plus 3 grams of complete protein. Furthermore, potatoes are one of the most filling foods available that can stave off hunger as well or better than other common sides.

Potato has more potassium, a key mineral that the body relies on heavily to function properly than a banana. U.S. processors use state-of-the-art technology to meet high industry standards. The finished product is instantly quick-frozen to lock in the flavour and nutrients of fresh potatoes.

Whether you lead an active lifestyle or not, there’s a U.S. potato option to fuel your body and brain throughout the day.

People say "hair is a woman's crowning glory", I absolutely agree with it. In fact, a woman’s hair is the first most noticeable part of her beauty. Hair is an important part of our appearance and sets the tone for our entire look of the day.

The creator of the Big Foot Candy, Nicko Jeep Manufacture Sdn Bhd has officially launched its Himalaya Salt Sports Candy, targeting at the sporty and outdoorsy.

Made with the natural Himalayan Salt, this new sports candy comes in really handy should your body need some extra sodium after an intense workout. It’s refreshing minty flavour is also ideal for anyone who needs a minty fresh breath after lunch or before a meeting or something refreshing on hot day. The extra cool sensation of the hard candy also soothes the throat at the same time.

Kenny Low, the Founder and Managing Director of Nicko Jeep Manufacture Sdn Bhd said the inspiration behind this sports candy came about during a hiking trip with his friends when he suffered bad cramps due to excessive sweating which causes a decrease in the concentration of sodium in the blood stream. This was when Kenny wished he had that candy creation (with sodium content) handy.

The key ingredient of the sports candy which is the natural Himalayan Salt, is believed to possess many health benefits. It contains over 80 natural traces of minerals such as Potassium, Magnesium and Calcium which are all found naturally in the body. Besides promoting the absorption of mineral and nutrients into the bloodstream, the Himalayan Salt is known for helping maintain hydration in the body. Kenny believes that the health benefits of the Himalayan Salt when combined with pure Lemon juice which is rich in vitamin C as well as the soothing benefits of mint would result in a concoction that greatly benefits the body especially after a strenuous sporting activity.

“The Himalaya Salt Sports Candy comes in a convenient packaging on the go. It must be emphasised that the sports candy is not a health supplement but rather a handy ‘pick me up’ when you need some extra healthy natural salt and glucose after a good workout,” said Kenny.

Alongside the launch of the Himalaya Salt Sports Candy, was the unveiling of the sports candy’s ambassador. Goh Liu Ying, who is the 2016 Olympics Badminton Mixed Doubles Silver Medallist was appointed the ambassador for the sports candy as she is an ideal role model for aspiring young sportsmen and sportswomen.

She is also a fan of the candy and takes it whenever she is out training and have it with her during tournaments.

Not a fan of hard candies? The company also launched the Himalaya Pastilles Peppermint. The delightfully chewy, bite-sized pastilles that come in a convenient resealable packet that soothe the throat and freshen your breath with its strong cool mint flavour.

Both the Himalaya Salt Sports Candy (15g) and Himalaya Pastilles Peppermint (25g) are certified Halal and can be found in leading pharmacies, supermarkets and hypermarkets nationwide.

As a beauty junkie, I started consume collagen drinks many years ago in order to achieve plumper, firmer skin and a younger-looking complexion. Collagen is a type of protein found in our body which gives our skin the youthful glow and elasticity that we love. Unfortunately, as we age, the production of collagen depletes. We start losing collagen pretty early. After we turn 21, we lose around 1% every year. Once we hit menopause, collagen disappears at lightening speed! One will lose even more collagen if you live in a polluted city, eat a lot of sugar or don’t wear sunscreen daily. UV rays, pollution and sugar all destroy collagen, making your skin wrinkle and sag faster.

By consuming collagen drink, it can directly provide our body with the essential amino acids it needs to repair connective tissues of the skin and help kick-start the production of collagen again.

In fact, Collagen drinks are all the rage now. There are many selections available for consumer but I always love NH Colla-Plus 3. NH Colla Plus 3 beauty drink is a breakthrough in skin formulation that works far beyond a collagen drink. Its’ potent combination of advanced ingredients such as Tea Polyphenols, Yeast Ceramide and Olive Extract (Hydroxytyrosol), elevates your skin to its most beautiful state naturally.

The Wonders of Yeast Ceramide

• Helps replenish lost ceramide due to harsh environment factors and ageing.
• Enhances collagen production in the skin.
• Restores and retains moisture.
• Helps inhibit melanin production and promote pigment lightening effect.
• Supports skin structure to prevent wrinkles and lines.

The Wonders of Olive Extract (15% Hydroxytyrosol)

• Hydroxytyrosol is a world-class antioxidant found in olives. It has 15x the antioxidant activity of green tea and 3x the antioxidant activity of CoQ10.
• It stimulates the body’s own glutathione system, to help reduce skin pigmentation and promote brighter skin tone.

During the recent event of NH Colla Plus 3 at IOI City Mall, they have announced that the multi-talented artist Janna Nick is the new face of NH Colla Plus 3. Janna has shared her satisfying testimonial with the fast and noticeable results from consuming NH Colla Plus 3. She shared that her skin is smoother, softer and more moisturised within 3 days of consumption. Now we can attain healthy and beautiful skin that we desire most.

Since they were having great promotion for NH Colla Plus 3 on that day, I brought home a few boxes and consume it right away.

NH Colla Plus 3 is suitable for men and women, from age 18 and above who want healthy and beautiful skin. For all skin types, with or without skin problems.

Recommended Consumption

Day 1 to 6: Consume one bottle daily on an empty stomach in the morning or before bedtime.

I like to chill it in the fridge, and shake well before drinking it every night. It is tasty in berry flavor, no fishy taste at all. After drinking it, my skin is more elastic, firmer and look younger now. I would recommend it to you who wants to look and feel youthful.

Women in Malaysia are having children later in life. The Department of Statistics (DOSM) found that from 2001 to 2015, the mean age of first-time mothers increased from 26.6 years old to 27.7 years old.1 This means that on average, women in Malaysia are becoming parents at later ages.

This could be due to any number of reasons. Whatever the factors behind it, according to Dr. Eeson Sinthamoney, President of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Society Malaysia (OGSM), it is important for women who would like to have children to start planning for the future now and gain an understanding of their bodies. There are many options available now to help them make plans to have children later in life, such as AMH testing and egg freezing.

According to Dr. Eeson, 10% of women in their early 30’s have significantly reduced fertility. While this rate of decline varies from person to person, numerous studies have established that in the 30’s age group, a woman’s ovarian reserve begins to decline.2‘Ovarian reserve’ refers to the number of eggs a woman has in her body to be fertilised, and it is also known as ‘egg count’. Each woman is born with a total of about 2 million eggs, which are all of the eggs she will have in her lifetime. After a spike during puberty, this number begins to decline throughout her life.
‘Women who want to know how fertile they are may take an Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) test,’ said Dr. Eeson. ‘This will give them an indication on their remaining fertile years, and help give their doctor an idea of whether it will be easy for them to conceive, in the present or in the future.’

An AMH test is a simple blood test that can indicate a woman’s fertility. Blood levels of the Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) are used as a marker of a woman’s ovarian reserves (remaining supply of eggs available for fertilisation). This is an important consideration for women who are either planning for pregnancy or struggling with infertility.3

Speaking at an event on female fertility awareness on 13th November, Dr. Eeson indicated one option for young women who wish to plan for future motherhood. ‘If you have concerns about conceiving in a few years, there is the option of freezing your eggs. Women lose a certain number of eggs each month. For example, if becoming a mother in future is very important to you, and your AMH test shows that your egg count is in the low range, you may consider preserving your eggs so that you can still have the option of fertilising them later.’

Currently, around 50 million couples worldwide are affected by infertility4, and around 15 percent of women of reproductive age face fertility issues. Prior to the introduction of AMH testing, the most conventional female fertility test involved an invasive trans-vaginal ultrasound procedure. The AMH test is far more convenient by comparison, cutting out both discomfort, waiting time and confusion, as women can request a test from their physician at any time5.

Ultimately, what young women should know is that there are many ways of planning for the future in terms of their education, their career, and even their family life. An AMH test can function as the basis for their plans surrounding future parenthood, as it helps them understand their current fertility level, what it means for the coming years, and whether they will need to consider any other options to help them become pregnant later in life. The most important thing to remember, according to Dr. Eeson, is to understand your body now.
