Aiman: kesabaran hilang, kemarahan muncul *************************************************************** During dinner  Aiman: ibu, aiman xleh nak buka mulut besar....

Taken from here  but it makes me wondering.... why they always said the best breakfast is yogurt or cereal or muesli... why it must be only those western breakfast is good? why not malaysian food? nasi lemak should be okay if we only take it once in a while, right? whats wrong if we have dim sum, chee chor fun, tosai or kuih apam for breakfast? those imported cereal or muesli are very expensive and it is really not good for local economy/// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saturday August 24, 2013 Healthy work habits By SU-ANN CHIEN suann.chien@leaderonomics.com The stereotypical work day starts from 9am and ends at 5pm officially, but in reality, most employees enter the office while the sky is still dark and leave only after it gets dark again.
