Water village in China
Jun 10th
Water village in China? Besides Kampong Ayer in Brunei Darussalam, China has its own water village in Shenzen, China. However, the houses are beautifully crafted with concrete and uniquely designed with top and classy materials from glazed glasses to well-painted walls. The scenery through the windows are definitely a “cannot miss” as it may as well beat the view from a popular five star hotel. More pictures up tomorrow!
This is the house we were talking about

I love the view of the sunset from an angle
The “meeting” room
Great antiques to boost up the design

What are the ways a smoker can do to quit smoking?
By Dr Haji Rozaimee bin Haji Tengah
Senior Medical Officer
Ministry of Health
1. Fix the day. Commit yourself to a specific ‘Quit Day’. This ‘Quit Day’ may be your Date of Birth, your Wedding Day, a very close friend who had died due to tobacco smoking, May 31, the date announced by the WHO as World No Tobacco Day, or the first day of Ramadhan for Muslims.
2. Quit with a friend. Try to get a friend, partner or work mate to quit with you.
3. Cash not ash. At the end of each day, set aside the cash you would normally have spent on smoking, and use this accumulated cash to treat yourself to, let say, a 12- day trip to Saudi Arabia to perform umrah.
4. Throw away all cigarettes and all smoking materials, such as ashtrays, lighters and matches, just before your ‘Quit Day.’
5. Train your mind by saying ‘I will never ever smoke again in my life’.
