Empowering Women Through Health: My Experience with Mawar Medical Centre, Seremban

Taking care of our health is one of the greatest acts of self-love. Team from Mawar Medical Centre, this belief is brought to life through their free basic health check-up, which includes physiotherapy assessments, eye check-ups, blood tests, and more. It’s not just about identifying potential health issues; it’s about empowering individuals—especially women—to prioritize their well-being.

I took the opportunity to undergo the health test and was reminded how important it is to listen to my body. Whether it’s monitoring blood pressure, checking eyesight, or assessing physical fitness, every step counts towards a healthier life. Too often, we neglect ourselves while focusing on work, family, and responsibilities. This initiative serves as a powerful reminder that self-care is not selfish—it’s necessary.

Mawar Medical Centre Seremban is making healthcare accessible and reminding women everywhere to love themselves by taking charge of their health. If you haven’t had a check-up in a while, take this as your sign—your health matters!

Mawar Medical Centre Seremban played a vital role in the event, reinforcing the importance of self-care.

Mahga Creations displayed their beautiful handmade products, In a world dominated by mass production and fast consumerism, these handmade products stand as a testament to craftsmanship, authenticity, and creativity.

These items, crafted with skill and dedication, bring a unique charm that machine-made goods often lack. From handcrafted jewelry to artisanal home decor, handmade products offer a personal touch that speaks to the heart of both the maker and the buyer.

Uniqueness and Personalization

One of the most appealing aspects of handmade products is their individuality. Unlike factory-made items, no two handmade pieces are exactly alike. Whether it’s a hand-painted brooch or a meticulously woven scarf, each piece tells a story and carries the personal imprint of its creator. This uniqueness makes handmade goods special, allowing buyers to own something that is one-of-a-kind. while astrology and tarot reading booths drew in curious visitors.

Henna artist worked her magic. Henna and astrology have long been intertwined in various cultures, both serving as forms of self-expression, spiritual connection, and symbolism. Henna, also known as mehndi, is a natural dye derived from the Lawsonia inermis plant, used for centuries to adorn the body with intricate designs. Traditionally applied during celebrations, rituals, and auspicious occasions, henna is believed to bring blessings, protection, and good fortune.

Astrology, on the other hand, is the study of celestial bodies and their influence on human life. Each zodiac sign carries specific energies, and planetary movements are said to shape our emotions, decisions, and life paths. In many traditions, astrology and henna intersect, with certain symbols and patterns in henna designs aligning with planetary influences. For example, mandalas represent wholeness and cosmic energy, while vines and leaves signify growth, fertility, and renewal—qualities often associated with Venus, the planet of beauty and love.

As I experimented with a simple henna design, curiosity led me to listen closely as Madam Sivagami shared her astrological insights. She spoke of the intricate connections between one’s birth chart and life’s unfolding events. The idea that planetary alignments can shape personal energy resonated deeply, much like how henna patterns flow seamlessly on the skin, telling a unique story.

Perhaps, just as henna leaves its imprint temporarily, astrology reminds us that moments—both challenging and joyous—are phases in the grand design of life. The beauty of both lies in interpretation and intention. Whether through the delicate strokes of henna or the guiding wisdom of the stars, each carries a message, waiting to be understood.

My highlight of the day was speaking to a mother and her son. “The Cookie Challenge: A Mother, Her Son, and the Power of Perseverance“

Baking cookies isn’t just about mixing flour, sugar, and butter—it’s about love, patience, and creativity. This devoted mum, and her son, who is on the autism spectrum, baking together became more than just a simple kitchen activity. It became a journey of empowerment, understanding, and raising awareness.

She has always been passionate about using only high-quality, natural ingredients in her cooking. She believed that food should nourish both the body and the soul. When she and her son decided to take on the challenge of making cookies online, they knew it would be no ordinary task. They set out to create a recipe that was both delicious and wholesome, sharing their experience with the world to inspire others.

Baking was never easy for her son. The textures, the smells, the process—it all presented sensory challenges. But she knew her son had a gift for details, a unique perspective that could transform this challenge into something extraordinary. She encouraged him every step of the way, allowing him to take charge where he felt comfortable and guiding him through the more difficult moments.

As they worked together, she noticed something incredible. Her son’s precision, his keen eye for measurements, and his patience in waiting for the dough to be just right turned him into the heart of their baking mission. With every stir, every carefully measured ingredient, and every perfectly placed cookie on the tray, he was proving that challenges could be turned into strengths.

They decided to share their baking journey online, streaming their process to encourage other families facing similar challenges. Their goal was simple: to raise awareness for autism, empower those who feel limited by obstacles, and prove that determination can turn any challenge into success.

The first time they streamed, she wasn’t sure how people would react. But soon, messages of encouragement and admiration poured in. Parents of children with autism reached out, thanking them for showing what was possible. Others were inspired to try baking with their own kids, making the challenge go beyond one family and into a movement of inclusion and perseverance.

Her son’s confidence grew with each batch of cookies. The world was no longer just a place of struggles—it was a place where he could create, inspire, and achieve. Their journey wasn’t just about baking; it was about proving that autism doesn’t define limits—it redefines possibilities.

This mother and Son team’s Cookie Challenge continues, showing the world that success isn’t about perfection but about effort, love, and never giving up. They remind us all that sometimes, the sweetest victories come from the most unexpected places—and that a simple cookie can hold the power to change lives! “TRY IT, YOU WON’T FORGET IT”!

The Enchanting Crystal Booth: A Glimpse into the Mystical

Wandering through the bustling marketplace, I stumbled upon a mesmerizing crystal booth, shimmering under the soft glow of hanging lights. The moment I introduced myself to the owner, Ms. Hew, I felt an inexplicable connection—almost as if she could see through me. With just a glance, she read me like an open book, revealing insights into my inner thoughts, my personality, and even the energy I carried with me.

Ms. Hew spoke with a quiet wisdom as she explained the purpose of each crystal. Some offered calmness, some granted strength, while others attracted good luck, wealth, and health. Each crystal, she said, carried a unique vibration, aligning with the energies of those who sought them.

As I scanned the dazzling array of stones, I felt an undeniable pull toward a red crystal. It was as if it had been waiting for me. Ms. Hew smiled knowingly. “Red represents protection,” she explained. “It shields you, keeps you grounded. But no matter how much success you achieve, always stay humble.”

Her words resonated deeply. This wasn’t just a purchase—it was an experience, a moment of reflection and guidance. Leaving the booth, the red crystal in my hand, I felt a newfound sense of clarity. The world of crystals was more than just beauty—it was a language of energy, waiting to be understood.

A dynamic team from Sun Moon Greens introduced fresh microgreen vegetables, emphasizing the benefits of homegrown nutrition. The Magic of Microgreens: Fresh, Zesty, and Packed with Goodness

Microgreens may be tiny, but they pack a serious punch when it comes to flavor, nutrition, and versatility. These young vegetable greens, harvested at their most vibrant stage, are more than just a garnish—they’re a powerhouse of vitamins, minerals, and fresh taste.

During my visit to this booth, the owner passionately explained how microgreens can be enjoyed in various ways: stir-fried for a light, nutritious meal, tossed into fresh salads, or blended into juices for an extra boost of vitality. Inspired by her enthusiasm, I tried a juice blend of apple and ginger with microgreens—an unexpected yet delightful combination. The natural sweetness of the apple, the slight heat of the ginger, and the crisp, earthy notes of the greens created a drink that was both refreshing and invigorating.

The experience wasn’t just about the flavors but also the people behind the greens. The owner and her team radiated warmth and passion, much like the products they cultivate—pure, natural, and full of life.

Microgreens aren’t just food; they’re an experience. Whether you’re looking for a fresh salad, a nourishing juice, or a quick stir-fry addition, these tiny greens are a must-try for any health-conscious food lover.

Penang Ketam Dish: A Fiery, Flavorful Seafood Indulgence

Penang, known for its vibrant food culture, never fails to impress when it comes to seafood. One dish that stands out is the Penang-style ketam (crab) dish, a mouthwatering combination of fresh crabs cooked in a flavorful, often spicy sauce. Whether prepared in a sweet and spicy chili sauce, creamy salted egg, or bold black pepper glaze, this dish is a must-try for seafood lovers.

First Impressions

The moment the dish arrives at the table, it’s a feast for the senses. The aroma of fragrant spices, chili, and garlic fills the air, teasing the taste buds even before the first bite. The crabs, coated in a rich sauce, glisten under the light, making it impossible to resist.

Taste and Texture

One of the highlights of Penang ketam dishes is the balance of flavors—sweet, salty, spicy, and umami all coming together harmoniously.

• Chili Crab: The sauce is thick, slightly sweet, and spicy, clinging beautifully to the crab meat. Dipping it with soft mantou (buns) makes it even more delightful.
• Salted Egg Crab: A creamy, buttery, and slightly grainy texture from the salted egg yolk enhances the natural sweetness of the crab.
• Black Pepper Crab: Bold and aromatic, this version delivers a fiery kick with every bite, perfect for those who enjoy a peppery punch.

The crab meat itself is succulent and tender, absorbing all the goodness of the sauce. Cracking the shells to get to the juicy meat is part of the fun, making it a messy but truly satisfying experience.

The Experience

Eating ketam in Penang isn’t just about the food—it’s an experience. Whether enjoying it by the poolside or at the beach side of at the hotel restaurant or in a bustling eatery, the communal act of cracking shells, dipping into sauce, and licking fingers clean adds to the enjoyment.

Final Verdict

A Penang ketam dish is a must-try for anyone visiting the island. It’s bold, flavorful, and packed with the essence of Penang’s culinary heritage. While it might get messy, the experience is well worth it, offering a satisfying and unforgettable taste of Malaysia’s seafood paradise.

Sweet Endings and Heartfelt Moments

No Ramadan feast is complete without traditional kuih-muih and indulgent desserts.

Satay: The Perfect Grilled Skewers of Flavor

Satay is one of Malaysia’s most beloved street foods, and for good reason. These charcoal-grilled skewers of marinated meat, served with a rich peanut sauce, are the ultimate combination of smoky, savory, and slightly sweet flavors. Whether enjoyed at a bustling night market, a roadside stall, or a high-end restaurant, satay never fails to satisfy.

First Impressions

The aroma of satay sizzling over hot charcoal is enough to make anyone’s mouth water. The skewers arrive golden brown with slightly charred edges, glistening with juices and ready to be dipped into a generous serving of peanut sauce. Accompanying the satay are usually cucumber slices, onions, and ketupat (compressed rice cakes)—the perfect sides to balance the richness of the dish.

Taste & Texture

• Chicken Satay – Tender, slightly sweet, and well-marinated with turmeric and spices, giving it a beautiful golden hue.
• Beef Satay – More robust in flavor, with a deeper, smoky taste and a slightly firmer texture.
• Lamb Satay – Juicy and rich, with a more intense meaty flavor that pairs exceptionally well with the peanut sauce.
• The star of the dish is undoubtedly the peanut sauce—thick, nutty, slightly spicy, and sometimes with a hint of sweetness. A well-made peanut sauce elevates the satay experience, coating each bite in rich, flavorful goodness.

The Experience

Satay isn’t just about eating—it’s about the whole experience. Watching the skewers being grilled over open flames, seeing the vendor fan the fire to get that perfect char, and finally dipping each skewer into the sauce is what makes it special. It’s a dish meant for sharing, bringing people together over a plate of simple yet delicious street food.

Final Verdict

Satay is a must-try Malaysian classic that never disappoints. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a local craving a comforting meal, a plate of satay will always hit the spot. The perfect balance of smoky, sweet, and nutty flavors makes it an irresistible dish that’s loved by all.

Final Thoughts: Love, Peace, and Good Food

The fitness industry is booming, with gyms, studios, and clubs offering various programs to attract clients. However, behind the scenes, a growing concern affects both professionals and members: the hiring of unlicensed, unqualified instructors.

Why Credentials Matter

Professional fitness instructors dedicate time, money, and effort to their craft. Many of us:

• Obtain and renew licenses – These certifications ensure we meet industry standards.
• Pay annual fees in USD – Many globally recognized certifications come with recurring costs to maintain credibility and stay updated with the latest research.
• Undergo continuous training – Fitness is ever-evolving, and top instructors regularly attend workshops, courses, and recertification programs.
• Specialize in demographics – Teaching children, seniors, or individuals with special conditions requires additional education and credentials.

Yet, despite these efforts, some gym and studio owners overlook these qualifications and hire unlicensed instructors, often prioritizing cost-cutting over quality.

The Risks of Hiring Unqualified Instructors

1. Safety Concerns – Instructors without proper training may not know how to modify exercises for different fitness levels, increasing the risk of injuries.
2. Liability Issues – A facility that hires an uncertified instructor could face legal consequences if an accident occurs.
3. Client Retention – A poorly trained instructor can lead to dissatisfied members, affecting the gym’s reputation and membership retention.
4. Industry Devaluation – When unqualified individuals take up professional roles, it undermines the effort and investment of certified professionals.

What Gym and Studio Owners Should Do

• Verify certifications – Ask for proof of licensure and verify through the certifying body.
• Ensure specialization – If hiring for children’s or senior fitness, check for additional training in those areas.
• Prioritize ongoing education – Support instructors who invest in continuous learning.
• Recognize the value of expertise – Paying for skilled, certified instructors ultimately benefits the gym, its members, and its reputation.

Final Thoughts

The fitness industry thrives on trust, expertise, and results. By ensuring that only qualified, licensed, and experienced instructors lead classes, gym and studio owners can uphold professionalism, prioritize safety, and elevate the industry’s standards.

Mushroom Rice: A Wholesome Delight

One of Mama Kim’s standout dishes is their Baked Cheesy Mushroom Rice, a simple yet deeply satisfying meal that embodies both nutrition and flavor.

🔸 Texture – The rice is cooked to perfection—fluffy yet slightly chewy, allowing each grain to absorb the rich umami essence of the mushrooms. The mushrooms themselves add a delightful contrast, tender with just the right amount of bite, making every spoonful a joy to eat.

🔸 Presentation – Served in a beautiful, rustic bowl, the dish is a visual treat. The earthy brown mushrooms sit elegantly atop the steaming rice, with hints of vibrant greens adding a fresh pop of color. A sprinkle of sesame seeds and a light drizzle of fragrant oil elevate the presentation, making it look as comforting as it tastes.

🔸 Taste – This dish is a celebration of natural flavors. The mushrooms bring deep, earthy umami notes, perfectly complemented by a subtle garlicky aroma. There’s a light hint of soy that enhances the savory profile without overpowering, allowing the purity of the ingredients to shine. Every bite feels warm and nourishing—wholesome, balanced, and absolutely satisfying.

Mama Kim’s Baked Cheesy Mushroom Rice isn’t just a meal; it’s a comforting experience. Whether you’re a mushroom lover or simply someone who appreciates good, honest food, this dish is a must-try.

If you’re looking for a comforting, nourishing meal, the Herbal Soup and Set Rice is a must-try, packed with restorative herbs that leave you feeling revitalized. And for coffee lovers, their Hainanese Hot Coffee—bold and smooth—or the refreshing Iced Coffee makes for the perfect ending to a delightful meal.

The service at Mama Kim Wellness Kitchen is just as heartwarming as the food. Every smile from the staff makes you feel at home, adding to the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. It’s a place where time slows down, and good food meets good company. A special thank you, to my special friend Hema, for bringing me and introducing me to Mama Kim Wellness Kitchen.

My parents and I had a lovely lunch moment here, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and flavors that comforted both our hearts and our health. If you’re looking for a place to unwind and enjoy a wholesome meal, Mama Kim Wellness Kitchen, Seremban 2 is a hidden gem worth discovering.

Took some time off for lunch today, hoping to catch up with my best friend over a comforting meal at  Soul Thai Mookata. It had been a while since I last dined there, and I was looking forward to indulging in some flavorful Thai BBQ while soaking in the familiar ambiance.

Unfortunately, from the moment we walked in, things felt… off. The waitress seemed reluctant to seat us, her demeanor unfriendly and impatient as we browsed the menu. We tried to brush it off, thinking perhaps they were short-staffed or having a rough day. But as the experience unfolded, the disappointment only grew.

The Long Wait and The Invisible Customers

Seated and ready to order, we found ourselves waiting… and waiting. The staff appeared impatient as we selected our meal, and when our order was finally placed, we were left to fend for ourselves. Getting their attention became a game of waving hands in the air, only to be ignored repeatedly. The frustration grew.

Our order took far too long to arrive, and when it finally did, it was a letdown. The food, which used to be packed with rich, authentic flavors, felt lackluster—like it had lost its “soul.” The ambiance, once warm and inviting, also seemed to have lost its touch.

Where’s the Soul in Soul Thai Mookata?

By the time our food arrived—after an unreasonably long wait—the excitement had already faded. And so had the flavors. The vibrant, soulful taste we remembered was gone. The seasoning lacked depth, the freshness missing. It was as if the essence of Soul Thai Mookata had disappeared.

Final Thoughts: A Meal Best Forgotten

We left feeling disappointed, craving the warmth and joy that should come with a meal shared with a friend. A good restaurant isn’t just about food—it’s about the experience. And sadly, Soul Thai Mookata missed the mark on both.

Would I return? At this point, it’s hard to say. A place that loses its soul rarely finds its way back.

Have you been to Soul Thai Mookata recently? Did you have a different experience? Let me know in the comments.

What a fantastic way to start the day! Our Zumba Coffee Morning with the parents from Tenby International School was nothing short of amazing. The energy in the room was contagious—smiling faces, upbeat music, and a whole lot of good vibes filled the session.

We kicked things off with an energetic warm-up, shaking off the morning stiffness and getting into the groove. Despite a slight technical hiccup at the beginning (because, let’s be real, what’s an event without a little drama?), we quickly got back on track and let the music take over!

From Latin beats to high-energy cardio moves, everyone brought their A-game, moving, sweating, and most importantly—having fun! It was more than just a workout; it was a celebration of movement, positivity, and an active lifestyle. Seeing parents step out of their comfort zones, dance with confidence, and fully embrace the Zumba spirit was truly inspiring.

A huge thank you to all the wonderful parents who joined in! Your energy, enthusiasm, and willingness to let loose made this session an unforgettable one. Let’s keep the momentum going—more fun, more movement, and more moments like this!

Until next time, keep dancing, keep smiling, and stay active! 💃✨
