 Apakah 'forest Bath'?




Orang Jepun menyebut  Shirin-yoku, yang membawa maksud literal "forest bath" dalam bahasa Inggeris ataupun 'mandi hutan' dalam Bahasa Melayu.  Forest Bath lebih dikenali umum sebagai berjalan-jalan santai di dalam hutan...

Dalam kajian yang dijalankan oleh orang Jepun, mereka dapat melihat perubahan yang berlaku pada orang yang mengambil masa selama 20 minit berjalan-jalan di kawasan hutan yang cantik dengan bau-bauan hutan dan mendengar bunyi deruan air dari anak sungai berdekatan...

Individu yang meluangkan masa untuk forest bathing didapati mempunyai tahap tekanan yang lebih rendah berbanding dengan mereka yang mengambil masa yang sama berjalan-jalan di kawasan bandar...

Oleh itu, marilah kita bersama-sama tingkatkan masa berjalan-jalan santai di hutan atau hiking  untuk mengurangkan tekanan...

Before the end of the schools break, my daughters managed to persuade their dad to spend a day at Cameron Highlands. The original plan was to go to Bukit Tinggi in Pahang but he refused to go for some reasons.

Weekends were out of question since there were more than half a dozen wedding invitations that we need to attend. So, anyway last Tuesday morning off we went to Cameron Highlands; just the five of us, hubby and I and the three girls who were beyond excited to go (none of the boys were going).   Since hubby had given a condition that he would be studying in the car all  the way if he was to go (his exam was on the following day), so  Sha was driving and I could tell that she loved every moment of it .. We arrived there at around noon and the place seemed crowded with people as it was school holi

How to say no to your boss?

Well.....  the truth is you simply don't......it's something that I learnt that from my previous boss who advised me years back when I jhad just started my early career, the three magic words "never say no". Just the other day, I was debating with myself whether to say no or just accept my boss's suggestion (read: order) without giving him a slightest idea that I'm not capable of doing it ......it's kinda hard to explain coz it's not my job and I don't want to be a scapegoat to be doing it just because somebody else doesn't want to do it.  Anyway, it happened in the meeting, out of the blue like one bright idea bestowed upon him, my boss suggested me doing it ......which, no doubt appalled everyone in the committee and I was left absolutely stunned and speechless........obviously, I didn't make any comment and it was decided then.... Later, came few close friends playing devil's advocate......'This is not your job'.....&#
