Jet lag & Viagra - myth or truth?
I know for a fact that you can actually feel and probably look like this double-headed monster when you are suffering from jet lag!
For those who love definitions, jet lag or desynchronosis or secondary circadian dysrhythmia is a physiological disruption of the circadian rhythm resulting in sleep disorder when travelling across a number of time zones. There are 24 time zones, so for example, flying from KL to London is equivalent to 7 time zones.
keep well hydrated, avoid alcohol and caffeine, exercise, a diet higher in protein than carbohydrates, take naps to catch up on sleep and wise use of sleep medication. Nothing new. You basically have to tough it out.
NB: Viagra is taken at your own risk . . . unless you are a hamster . . . sweet dreams!

How much golf can you play, man?


The agony and ectasy of putting.
Slow play!
How the mind works.

Office antics.
The night before the big game.
You know your hooked when . . . 
Size is everything . . . 
Drop shot anyone? 
It's a whole new ball game,when the wife decides she wants to take up golf!
REPLACE YOUR DIVOTS PLEASE! 
Get out the rule book.
Oops! There goes the new driver.
Some insist on the silent treatment . . .shhh!
It's so challenging playing overseas.
When is the next trip Sheikh Rosli? 
His buddy asked him "How much golf can you play, man?"
Never enough brader . . .

This locally manufactured surface is made of perspex embedded with ovum Jasper stones. As it is translucent it allows light transmission giving a unique effect. The claim is that this surface is non porous, non toxic and is scratch resistant.
Don't think of drapes only as yards and yards of fabric. These are panels of closely set cord giving a fluid-like effect. Be warned. Children love running their fingers (and bodies) through them and can be tempted to swing from them too!
This year I notice that doors have been given a fresh new look. The decorative glass panelled doors sport retro or Art deco designs, and the wooden doors have simple tasteful lines.
. . . to sheer opulence.
Security must be problem as business is certainly brisk here. Hello has anyone heard of the global recession?You may also want to add a home safe to your shopping list.
The hard sell.
"How much per foot run?" Are they buying or just resting ?
The tub of your dreams? Together with the bubbles, blue LED lights add to the experience.
We can't live without our telly's can we? You can get a 32" flat screen LCD for about RM 1500 now.
Malaysia is fast becoming a coffee drinking nation. Espresso gizmo must-haves.
If a device promises to purify the air in your bedroom (even though you spend 4 hours daily inhaling traffic fumes), or a humidifier that will cool your patio (despite spending 18 hours a day in dry air conditioning) there will be enough suckers who will want it and even influence their friends to buy one.
Zaini, an architect by training and an artist by passion, runs a studio in Bukit Bintang. Offering 'original works at reasonable prices' (his tag line) he aims to bring art to a broader audience. A brochure with prints of his work, biodata and inspiration are elegantly set in glossy white art card. There's fusion cuisine, this is fusion glass, so the artist tells me about his work. In 3 D, the picture is fused onto glass and embellished with colour.
It's good to get out into the open after all that.
