What Time Should You Sleep


By James Pang
Is there a best time to sleep? There is a saying that sleeping early and waking up early is good for your health. How true is that? Is it alright to sleep late and wake up late?
You actually have an amazing biological clock ticking inside your body. It is very precise. It helps to regulate your various body functions including your sleeping time.
From 11pm to 3am, most of your blood circulation concentrates in your liver. Your liver gets larger when filled with more blood. This is an important time when your body undergoes detoxification process. Your liver neutralizes and breaks down body toxins accumulated throughout the day.

However if you don't sleep at this time, your liver cannot carry out this detoxification process smoothly.
·         If you sleep at 11pm, you have full 4 hours to detoxify your body.
·         If you sleep at 12am, you have 3 hours.
·         If you sleep at 1am, you have 2 hours.
·         And if you sleep at 2am, you only have 1 hour to detoxify.
What if you sleep after 3am? Unfortunately, you won't have any time to actually detoxify your body. If you continue with this sleeping pattern, these toxins will accumulate in your body over time. You know what happens next.

What if you sleep late and wake up late?
Have you tried going to bed very late at night? Did you realize you feel very tired the next day no matter how much you sleep?

Sleeping late and waking up late is indeed very bad for your health. Besides not having enough time to detoxify your body, you will miss out other important body functions too.

From 3am to 5am, most blood circulation concentrates in your lung. What should you do at this moment? Well, you should exercise and breathe in fresh air. Take in good energy into your body, preferably in a garden. At this time, the air is very fresh with lots of beneficial negative ions.

From 5am to 7am, most blood circulation concentrates in your large intestine. What should you do at this moment? You should poop! Pass out all unwanted poop from your large intestine. Prepare your body to absorb more nutrients throughout the day.

From 7am to 9am, most blood circulation concentrates in your stomach. What should you do at this moment? Have your breakfast! This is your most important meal in a day. Make sure you have all the required nutrients from your breakfast. Not having breakfast causes lots of health problems for you in the future.
That's the way to start your day

There you are... the most ideal way to start your day. After fully detoxifying your blood during your sleep, you wake up fresh to inhale beneficial energy. Then you pass out unwanted poop from your large intestine. After that, you take in balanced nutrients to prepare your body for a new day.

No wonder people living in villages or farms is healthier. They sleep early and wake up early. They follow their natural biological clock.
Living in city, we have more difficulty in following this sleeping schedule. We have good lightning, TV and internet to delay our precious sleeping time.
Following your natural timetable

Once I know the importance of our biological clock, I try my best to follow it. If I wake up early, I usually start my day on the computer. But when I see the clock shows 7am, I know it's the best time for breakfast. So I'll try to have my breakfast before 9am for best absorption.

What if you're offered a night shift job? I recommend you to reject it even the salary is higher. For long term, you may need to spend more money for your health problems.
What if you have assignment to do until late at night? Well, why not sleep early and wake up earlier to do it? Just shift your work time from late night to early morning. You get the same time. But your body will appreciate it.

With this, try to follow this timing as close as possible. Make it your daily routine. I'm sure you will feel fresher and more energetic all day long.

What goes around comes around


One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her. 

Even with the smile on his face, she looked worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry. 

He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was that chill which only fear can put in you. 
He said, 'I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.' 

Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt. 

As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid. 

Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way. 

He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, 'And think of me.'

He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight. 

A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. 

The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan .. 

After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin. 

There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: 'You don't owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.' Under the napkin were four more $100. 

Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard.... 

She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, 'Everything's going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.'

There is an old saying.. 'What goes around comes around.' Today I send you this story, and I'm asking you to pass it on. Let this light shine. God works in wonderful ways and sometimes puts people in our lives for a reason.

Don't delete it, don't return it...   Simply, pass it on to a friend, I just did

respect others

A lady worked at a meat distribution factory. One day, when she finished with her work schedule, she went into the meat cold room (Freezer) to inspect something, but in a moment of misfortune, the door closed and she was locked inside with no help in sight. 

Although she screamed and knocked with all her might, her cries went unheard as no one could hear her. Most of the workers had already gone, and outside the cold room it's impossible to hear what was going on inside. Five hours later, whilst she was at the verge of death, the security guard of the factory eventually opened the door. She was miraculously saved from dying that day. 

When she later asked the security guard how he had come to open the door, which wasn't his usual work routine. His explanation: "I've been working in this factory for 35 years, hundreds of workers come in and out every day, but you're one of the few who greet me in the morning and say goodbye to me every night when leaving after work. Many treat me as if I'm invisible. 

Today, as you reported for work, like all other days, you greeted me in your simple manner 'Hello'. But this evening after working hours, I curiously observed that I had not heard your "Bye, see you tomorrow". Hence, I decided to check around the factory. I look forward to your 'hi' and 'bye' every day because they remind me that I am someone. By not hearing your farewell today, I knew something had happened.That's why I was searching every where for you.

Moral Lesson to reflect upon: Be humble, love and respect those around you. Try to have an impact on people who cross your path every day, you never know what tomorrow will bring. Let this story be an inspiration. 
Let's share to inspire others;someone else shared this to inspire me...

a blind girl



There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind.
She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there 
for her.
She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.'
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages 
came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.
He asked her,’ Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?'
The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of 
his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. 
The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to 
marry him.
Her boyfriend left her in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying:
'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, 
they were mine.'

This is how the human brain often works when our status changes.
Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always 
by their side in the most painful situations.

Life Is a Gift
Today before you say an unkind word -
Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who 
has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's 
crying out to ALMIGHTY GOD for a companion.

Today before you complain about life -
Think of someone who died too young.

Before you complain about your children -
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep -
Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job -
Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another -
Remember that not one of us is without sin and we all answer to one MAKER.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down -
Put a smile on your face and thank GOD you're alive and still around.

And before you think of closing your Whatsapp messenger, 
Please think of sending this to as many people . It might change 
someone's thinking towards Life. Remain blessed.👋

A Road Accident



            Road accidents are reported in newspaper and on 
television every day. There are more frequently caused by 
reckless drivers rather than faulty vehicles. Last Saturday, 
while I was travelling from Penang, I witnessed a serious 
accident. The scene of the accidents was vivid in my mind.

            A motorcyclist was following behind was carvery closely. 

He was so impatient that he was trying to overtake my car 
even near a sharp bend. At that critical moment, there was 
an oncoming car. The taxi driver swerved to the roadside and 
I got a terrible jolt. It was too late for the motorcyclist to avoid 
the car. His motorcycle ran against the bumper of the car and 
smashed its windscreen. The motorcyclist somersaulted over the 
car and was found lying in a pool of blood. It was a scene to chill 
the flesh! The car driver, who was cut by the flying glass, was in 
a state of shock. All that happened in split second and fear 
overwhelmed us.

            The taxi driver stopped his taxi and I quickly ran to the 

nearest to the nearest telephone booth to inform the police and 
the hospital. From a distance I could see some people trying to 
help the injured motorcyclist and the car driver. They carried them 
into one of the onlooker’s car and sent them to the hospital for 
treatment. Meanwhile the taxi driver tried to control and directs 
the traffic. 

           Soon the police arrived and they promptly took some measurements and evidence. After that they moved the damaged 
car and the motorcycle to the roadside to ease the traffic congestion. 
They also took down the evidence provided by witnesses and 
onlookers. Some sweepers were clearing the debris and the blood 
stains on the road.

            When the taxi finally continued the journey, I silently 

thanked God for my narrow escape. I learned a good lesson 
that impatience and recklessness would bring harm and danger. 
I was happy to see that Malaysians are public-spirited and they 
render help to others readily. Since then I remember and follow 
the saying ‘more haste less speed’ and ‘prevention is better than 
cure’. I believe good road manners and roads safety campaigns can 
help to reduce the number of road accidents which cause injuries, 
loss and lives and properties.


DESCRIPTIVE – EVENT  [Hari Raya Celebration]
One of the biggest celebrations in Malaysia is Eid or more commonly known as Hari Raya Aidilfitri or Hari Raya Puasa. Hari Raya literally means 'Celebration Day'. It is celebrated by Muslims on 1 Syawal of Muslim Calendar after a month of fasting.
Shopping malls and bazaars are usually filled with people days ahead of Hari Raya, which creates a distinctive festive atmosphere throughout the country. This is the time when my mother and I will do our last minute shopping for clothes and delicacies. Then, we will return to our home town to celebrate the festival.
The night before Hari Raya is filled with the sounds of the takbir in the mosques. Just like in many parts of Malaysia, especially in the rural areas, I will lit oil lamps and place them outside and around my grandmother’s home. My brothers, together with my cousins, will light traditional bamboo cannon or firecrackers which are notoriously loud and can be very dangerous. My mother and aunts will be busy preparing special dishes like ketupat, dodol, rendang and other delicacies to serve on the next day. My favourite is definitely lemang which is a type of glutinous rice cooked in bamboo.
On the morning of Hari Raya, we will wear our traditional clothing, baju kurung. Before heading to the mosque for prayer, we will greet one another and ask for forgiveness for sins which we may have committed. Once the prayer is completed, it is common for many Muslims to visit the graves of loved ones. During this visit, we will clean the grave, recite Yassin, and also perform the tahlil ceremony. All these are done as a means to ask God to forgive both the dead and the living for our sins. The rest of the day is spent visiting relatives or serving visitors. Hari Raya is a very joyous day for me and other children as we will be given token sums of money, also known as "duit raya", from our parents or elders.

I truly enjoy the Hari Raya celebration which is a really unique festival. It is more than a religious celebration as it fosters closer relation in a family as well as the neighbourhood. 

NARRATIVE   [An Unforgetable Experience]

          May 25 2011 was a day I will never forget. It was the day when my family suffered a tragedy. The day began like any other day and we all got ready for school while my father got ready to go to work. We all had breakfast together, enjoying our favourite banana pancakes and hot chocolate, before leaving the house. My sister and I got on our school bus while I saw father got into his car to get to work, leaving my mother doing her usual house chores.
          At 10.00 a.m., I was having a Mathematics lesson when a teacher came and told me my father was at the canteen waiting to take me home. I could sense something bad had happened. Fearing the worst, and thinking of all kinds of bad things that could have happened, I met my father who had already fetched my sister. Her face was white as a sheet.
          ‘Our house was burnt down and mom is in the hospital,’ explained my father sadly. His voice shook as he spoke. I was so shocked.
          We rushed to the hospital and the doctor told us that mom was all right. We thanked God that nothing serious had happened to her. She only suffered minor injuries. However, we lost everything in the fire, our computer, furniture, books and clothes. I found my piggy-bank in the ashes and the coins were still inside. That was all I had left. My father comforted us by saying that the house could be built and the things inside could be bought.

          ‘Mother is all right and that is the most important thing,’ he said. That is why May 25 is a day I will never forget.    [underlined the past tense]

[2011/ 2010/ ..]

2. My Best Friend.
A best friend is the first person who comes in when, out of the door, the whole world has gone.

But I am very lucky that I have a best friend with whom I can share my feelings and divide grief with. His name is Johan. He is very …………………………, and I am very happy to have him as my best friend. He is very ……………………………, and an ………………………………… person.
FirstJohan has all those friendly habits that we seek in a friend such as friendly behavior and respectfulness. He is very …………………………… and friendly person.

3. My teacher
If it was not for her, I would not have progressed this far. To most of us, primary school education is fun and joyfulness but to me it was a painstaking experience. All my classmates would be scoring full marks or close to it but my score would be barely reaching the pass mark. I had several tuition teachers but none of them was like her. She was my turning point in my life. Her patience and faith she had on me made me preserve. No matter how long I took to absorb the facts, she neither give up nor lost her patience on me. Once it took me about 3 hours to observe the pattern in term of reading the clock. She never lost it. She was very innovative, as she gets hold anything nearby and use it as a teaching tool just to get me understand and have a good grasp of what she had taught. She was always kind and genuine. 

Apart from tutoring, she had other commitments. Even till today, I admire her time management. She had to look after her family, her career and she was also upgrading herself, even in her forties. It inspired me. She had an everlasting thirst for knowledge. Ever since then it is my passion to attain all-rounded education. Despite her hectic schedule, she gave her best in tutoring. It is from her I learn to strive for the best and give the best in whatever I do.

I am sure I can be the one who could make a difference in someone else life. It’s my passion and desire.
