Yasz Amzah.com – Life's a commotion!

I need a banner and logo design for YaszAmzah.com

This site has been pretty bare and naked from colorful designs for a couple of months now. Hence, I need a banner and logo at least somewhere by this month.  I’ve been thinking to put up a banner and logo that reflect myself, me, the rightful owner of this blog/site which ever you want to call it. But thinking is as far I’ve gotten to do until now. The action part is coming in pretty slow which is not a good thing at all and I’m sure you readers are dying to see some colorful change over at this site. Believe me, I do too!

If you guys have any suggestions on where I can get my hands for a really cool, fully customized banner and logo designs or any tutorials for me to create my own design, do give me a heads up. If the design is worth the buy at a real bargain, I might as well buy it. Otherwise, I really don’t mind tweaking my own designs with some help from tutorials but that will mean I have to push myself to actually sit down and put into action on the designs. Seriously peeps, I need huge help in the banner and logo department of YaszAmzah.com and I do hope you guys can help me out here. Thanx!

 

 

 

 

 

 

A remedy for de-stress, it’s penniless!

If you happen to be all stressed out because that’s how life is for most people, help yourself to de-stress by doing these:

1. Have a slow walk in the nearest park or better, have a nature walk at a jungle trail near you. There are a lot of nature reserves in KL, so there is no excuse to say that you live in a city and the nearest ‘jungle’ is far away from you. The fresh air, the sound of nature and the greenery helps to de-stress and bring out a better mood in you.

2. If you still can’t find the ‘time’ for a short walkabout in the jungle, listen up to Birdsong Radio.com while you are working behind your desktop or laptop. Birdsong Radio plays specifically songs from singing birds. Yes, birds do sing and they have good melody too if you find time to listen to them attentively.

3. Alternatively, you can download  free mp3s by searching  keywords like Nature Sound Free downloads or visit my other favorite nature song website by Peter Mumme‘. There are a good collections of nature songs from animals, oceans sounds, rainforests sounds and etc available at this site.

Try this remedy out and hope it’ll help you to de-stress from your super hectic lifestyle. Happy jungle walking and listening!

p.s: I will share to you in future posts on the nearest jungle walk you can go to in KL. So do stay tune on Yasz Amzah.com!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clearwater Sanctuary Wetland for Par 3 Golfing

I’m running out of creative juices for today, hence I’m letting you guys feast on some of my pictures while attempting some beginners Par 3 golfing over at Wetland – Clearwater Sanctuary Golf Resort located at Batu Gajah, a mere half an hour or so from Ipoh, Perak. This wetland sanctuary was once the filming location of the movie “Anna and the King”. Most of the filming props have been taken down but this course has a really beautiful fairway and green, what more with a great ambiance of a true wetland environment.

The green fees for this Par 3 Wetland course is RM 30 for a 1-9 game. If you come in a flight of three, you get to pay RM 20/pax. Meanwhile, if you are looking for the real deal, 18 holes course, head on to the main golf course for a great and fun golfing experience. Enough said and let’s just move on to the pictures. Happy viewing!

Lovely lake view at Wetland Clearwater Sanctuary Golf course at Batu Gajah

8th hole for the Par 3 course at Wetland Clearwater Sanctuary.One of the best views and most challenging hole because you have to tee off and hope the ball will cross over the lake.

Myself with the clubs failed miserably to tee off over the lake. Hence I resorted to snapping some pictures.

Walking towards the green. If you are lucky, you can catch a beaver rolling on the green and watching out on your balls in case the ball hit it on its head. =p

If you are lucky, you can catch a sight of the local beaver rolling around on the green and watching over your balls

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sad truth about how kids are growing up today!

in Food   Tags: Children Diet, Food, Parenting

Have you ever sat in a fast food restaurant trying to catch a quick bite for lunch during your tight lunch hour with the place all crowded with hungry luncheons and not forgetting wailing little babies or kids scrambling noisily all over their young mum or dad for their food? Do you see anything wrong with this scenario? If you can’t find anything wrong with this, you are fitting into the right candidate to spoil your future or current children with bad eating habits and helping to further promote towards overall unhealthy lifestyle for your kids.

I feel sadden and almost helpless to see this poor little babies, some are hardly a year old and young children being fed with high sodium, high fat and oil, all sorts of MSG and God knows what ‘healthy’ fast food ingredients  for lunch, dinner or probably even breakfast. Things have taken a huge change from how we used to eat and the kind of food our mums used to feed us when we were a toddler and just a kid. I cannot remember being fed junk food or eating fried food only ration when I was growing up except for just a once in a blue moon kind of thing.

Parents have to be particular about their children food intake and the type of food that the children are taking in because as we all should know children is constantly growing. Their brain cells are growing by the hour perhaps , of course I’m no doctor to prove that statement. However, it is most important for parents to really take care after their children diet. Their little bodies need to have the right amount of nutrients, vitamins, antibodies and etc to help in their growth. If most parents are taking this food issues lightly and have little knowledge on feeding the proper food for their children, then they have to be ready for the worse once the children gets older.

Children with bad eating habits are most susceptible to growing up being unhealthy with complications probably like obesity, diabetic, hyperactive,slow in learning and malnourished too. Of course there are other factors that influenced a kid’s overall health but the one described are some of the common issues we are seeing more and more today. So the whole point here is if you love your kids so much, don’t you ever dare to be lazy and feed them that super salty,fatty fries and burgers with an extra large coke.

The way you are taking care after these little ones are going to determine on how and what they are going to grow up to be. Lastly, some people just gravely in need to go for some parenting education to knock some proper parental senses and knowledge into their heads. I am not a mum and no I don’t have a little toddler to raise, but I do know a thing or two about what’s best and what’s not for these little ones. For all the little children out there, good luck kiddos!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mangrove Swamp Park, Manjung

If you happen to visit Pangkor Island at Lumut, you will be missing another awesome nature preserve if you do not pay a short visit at Manjung’s Mangrove Swamp Park or locally known as Taman Paya Bakau, Manjung. The mangrove swamp is  located a couple of minutes drive from Lumut town or more precisely located at *Desa Manjung Raya, Sri Manjung.

Mangrove swamp Manjung or Taman Paya Bakau

You may be asking, what is so special with this mangrove swamp?

I am no geoscientist or a geologist but I do know that mangroves are not easily found anywhere except around the coastal wetlands of the tropical and subtropical regions. Mangroves are known to survive in both salt and fresh water. They play a major role as a vital provider of the habitat for animals and plants. Mangroves too help a great deal to protect the mainland from damages of the hurricanes and tidal waves besides working to avoid shoreline erosion.

With that said and  I am sure I have bore you peeps down just a little bit ( I hope not ;) ) with a tiny history of a mangrove swamp, so let’s just check out the pictures from this beautiful, mangrove swamp of Manjung.

The mangrove type is known as "Bakau kurap"

Hope you enjoy the pictures and do pay this mangrove swamp park a visit if you happen to come down to either Lumut or Pangkor Island or Sitiawan. =)

* To find the exact location of this park in Google map, simply set the direction to Taman Paya Bakau, Manjung.
