Restaurant Review :- Ramadan Buffet at Klana Resort Seremban

Gema Ramadhan at Klana Resort Seremban

My next ramadan buffet stop was at the Klana Resort Seremban. This time was with an invitation from a friend, Rezeki jangan di tolak!!! The venue for the Ramadan Buffet was held at the Ballroom. Their Ramadan Buffet was mainly stalls set up in the porch area of the ballroom. I somehow don't fancy having dinner in the ballroom. The effect and ambiance is not there but my friend mentioned that the buffet here is quite popular in Seremban that they can sometimes get about 700 over people on certain nights. Maybe thats why they need to use the ballroom.

LIVE MUSIC

Live local music during dinner to enhance the dining atmosphere.

THE SALAD AND ULAM STATION

VARIETY OF SAMBALS

COLD BEVERAGE COUNTER SERVING FOUR TYPES OF ICE COLD DRINKS

ICE CREAM COUNTER

CHAR KUEH TEOW STALL

MURTABAK AND ROTI CANAI STALL

ROTI JOHN

SATAY STALL

SOUP STATION

There was also a dessert stall, lempeng stall, chicken rice stall and a roasted whole lamb stall which had a very long queue. Well roasted lamb is a must in any buffet ramadan.

Apart from the stall there is a small buffet inside with eight type of main course but it was not popular with the customers there.

Address
 Klana Resort Seremban
PT 4388, Jalan Penghulu Cantik, Taman Tasik Seremban, 
70100 Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia.

Tel: 06 - 766 7888

My Verdict

With all the stalls the buffet ramadan is great value. But having to share the stalls with another 700 or so people is something you need think about.
Food taste was nice. I liked the mee curry, as always the satays and roti john. If you are thinking of coming here make sure you make advance reservations

World Of Technology: What Kindness Does to Your Health

World Of Technology: What Kindness Does to Your Health: Treating other people well isn’t just good for your karma. It’s good for your health and vitality, too. Psychology researcher Barbara Fredrickson, PhD, author of Love 2.0: Creating Happiness and Health in Moments of Connection, studies how “micro-moments” of connection with others, like sharing a smile or expressing concern, improve emotional resilience, boost the immune system, and reduce susceptibility to depression and anxiety.

In Fredrickson’s view, our psyches need affirmative human connection in much the same way that our bodies need wholesome food.

“Moments of uplifting positive emotions function like nutrients for creativity, growth, and health,” she says.

Still, while none of us wakes with the intention to curse other drivers, snap at our kids, or shame our employees, we do — more often than anyone likes.

And according to psychologist Elisha Goldstein, PhD, author of Uncovering Happiness: Overcoming Depression with Mindfulness and Self-Compassion, this may be because our brains contain a “negativity bias,” which favors cautious, fear-based thoughts over generous, positive ones.

We’ve evolved this defense mechanism to protect us from lurking danger, he notes, but it doesn’t protect our relationships very well. And in our fast-paced culture, where we compete for everything from parking spaces to pay raises, our primal survival behaviors are triggered routinely.

“We live in a kind of fundamental scarcity,” explains Kristi Nelson, executive director of A Network for Grateful Living, a nonprofit that promotes gratitude practice. “That sense of scarcity tends to run our lives.”

It also leads to perpetual rushing, which only makes matters worse. In Nelson’s view, the “preoccupation with always getting somewhere and getting more” drives an unhealthy tendency toward self-focus. We start to believe “it’s me or them.” All the time.

Under this kind of pressure, the very idea of being kind — keeping the needs and feelings of others in mind, showing care and empathy — can start to seem like a luxury at best. At worst, it just seems foolish.



Yet the act of focusing on others can reduce our eat-or-be-eaten anxieties. And in the process, it may actually improve our health and well-being.

Restaurant Review :- Ramadan Buffet at Grand Lexis Port Dickson

My Review on the Ramadan Buffet at Grand Lexis Port Dickson

My first Buffet Ramadan Stop this year was in Grand Lexis Port Dickson. The buffet was held at the Duyung Restaurant. This year apart from the local goodies they had a Middle Eastern station loaded with Kebab, Lamb Mandi Rice with Chick pea and my favourite of all these dishes was the Hummus. It was something different from the normal.

As we came during the first week of Ramadan there was not much of a crowd, so my wife and I really took our time eating. We didn't need to rush.

THE BUFFET CENTRE PIECE

EIGHT TYPES OF COLD BEVERAGES

At the Ramadan Buffet in Grand Lexis they have eight types of cold beverage which was Bandung, Kurma Cordial,Corn, Sugar Cane and so on.

ULAM AND SALAD COUNTER

THE DESSERT COUNTER

As with most Ramadan Buffet elsewhere, there were lots of cakes, local kuih and pastries. At the dessert counter, they even had Middle Eastern desserts such as Rose Shaped Arabic Danish, Ghreyba Butter Cookies, Turkish Tulumba Arabic Doughnuts.

THE MIDDLE EASTERN STATION

ACTION STALLS

There was a noodle counter serving a variety of noodles like Chicken Soup, Tom Yam and Mee Curry (my favourite). And also a Murtabak and Roti Herba counter preparing different breads like Roti Canai, Murtabak, Roti Herba, Roti Arab, Capati and Naan.

THE GRILL STATION

At the Grill Station there was beef and chicken satay, kebab, lots of different grill seafood and meats

For the main course there was Seafood Padprik, Chicken in Chili and Honey, Rendang Beef Bones, Mix Vegetables and much much more.

Address:-
Duyung Restaurant 

                Grand Lexis Port Dickson
Batu 2 Jalan Seremban, 71000, Negeri Sembilan 

Telephone number: - 06 653 2000



Verdict:-
The food was nice but there were not much action stalls like Roast Lamb and Freshly Grilled Meats and Satay that you find in some other Ramadan Buffet. Make early reservations as the air conditioned area is small. We noticed a few people had to sit by the walkway or poolcafe. The buffet is priced at RM80.00 nett per person and RM40.00 nett per child. They have also group packages for 5 till 20 persons, you will get a 20% discount and 21 person and above there is a 25% discount.

5 THINGS YOU DON’T NEED TO LIVE AN AWESOME LIFE

by STEVEN BANCARZ

The pursuit of happiness is the greatest pursuit in life.  Everyone is searching for something to truly fulfill their soul and quench their thirst for meaning and purpose.  Everyone wants to wake up being in love with life and excited for what the day has in store.

But from the moment we are born, we are programmed into thinking that “happiness” comes in a variety of forms that prove time and time again to be hollow and empty.  We grow up wanting to live “the dream”, which usually consists of a bunch of dead end pursuits and egoic pleasures that end of numbing and burdening our spirit.

Here are is a list of 5 things society tells us we need to live an awesome life, when in reality some may actually prevent you from having an awesome life:

1) Fame/popularity

When we are in high school growing up, peer approval is so important to us.  We all want to be seen as “cool”, “wise” or “trendy” by the people around us.  We desire to be desired, and want to be seen as important in the eyes of our peers.  Sometimes, this deep-rooted need to impress others sticks with us into our early adulthood and persists throughout our entire life.

A huge weight gets lifted off your shoulders when you realize that you don’t need to be liked by everybody around you.  You don’t need to be popular and famous.  You just need to be you.  Don’t define yourself in relation to your position within your social network or even within society as a whole.  You came into this world as an individual, and you will leave this world as an individual.  Discover yourself and love yourself, and you will find that the pursuit of popularity and fame is just another burden preventing you from living a happy life.

2) Riches and wealth

We all want to be “rich”, but does wealth really equal freedom?  Does being buried head deep in bills, payments, and material items really satisfy the spirit?  Money can’t buy you happiness.  It can buy your ego contentment for a short while, but it will never be able to make you feel alive. It can only buy you things that give you the imitation of happiness.

If you are sad, depressed, lonely, or angry and think that winning 1 million dollars will make you  feel better, consider this:  It will only give you a more luxurious environment to feel sad, depressed, lonely, and angry in.  Whether you are unfulfilled in a 2 million dollar house or in a $200,000, it doesn’t really matter.  Happiness does not come from possessions.  It comes from your relationship to yourself.

Read about 60 Small Ways to Improve Your Life in the Next 100 Days

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to make drastic changes in order to notice an improvement in the quality of your life. At the same time, you don’t need to wait a long time in order to see the measurable results that come from taking positive action. All you have to do is take small steps, and take them consistently, for a period of 100 days.

Below you’ll find 60 small ways to improve all areas of your life in the next 100 days.

HOME

1.  Create a “100 Days to Conquer Clutter Calendar” by penciling in one group of items you plan to declutter every day, for the next 100 days.  Here’s an example:

• Day 1: Declutter Magazines
• Day 2: Declutter DVD’s
• Day 3: Declutter books
• Day 4: Declutter kitchen appliances

2. Live by the mantra: a place for everything and everything in its place. For the next 100 days follow these four rules to keep your house in order:

• If you take it out, put it back.
• If you open it, close it.
• If you throw it down, pick it up.
• If you take it off, hang it up.

3. Walk around your home and identify 100 things you’ve been tolerating; fix one each day. Here are some examples:

• A burnt light bulb that needs to be changed.
• A button that’s missing on your favorite shirt.
• The fact that every time you open your top kitchen cabinet all of the plastic food containers fall out.

HAPPINESS

4.  Follow the advice proffered by positive psychologists and write down 5 to 10 things that you’re grateful for, every day.

5. Make a list of 20 small things that you enjoy doing, and make sure that you do at least one of these things every day for the next 100 days. Your list can include things such as the following:

• Eating your lunch outside.
• Calling your best friend to chat.
• Taking the time to sit down and read a novel by your favorite author for a few minutes.

6. Keep a log of your mental chatter, both positive and negative, for ten days. Be as specific as possible:

• How many times do you beat yourself up during the day?
• Do you have feelings of inadequacy?
• Are you constantly thinking critical thoughts of others?
• How many positive thoughts do you have during the day?

Also, make a note of the emotions that accompany these thoughts. Then, for the next 90 days, begin changing your emotions for the better by modifying your mental chatter.

7. For the next 100 days, have a good laugh at least once a day: get one of those calendars that has a different joke for every day of the year, or stop by a web site that features your favorite cartoons.

LEARNING/PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

8. Choose a book that requires effort and concentration and read a little of it every day, so that you read it from cover to cover in 100 days.

9. Make it a point to learn at least one new thing each day: the name of a flower that grows in your garden, the capital of a far-off country, or the name of a piece of classical music you hear playing in your favorite clothing boutique as you shop. If it’s time for bed and you can’t identify anything you’ve learned that day, take out your dictionary and learn a new word.

10. Stop complaining for the next 100 days. A couple of years back, Will Bowen gave a purple rubber bracelet to each person in his congregation to remind them to stop complaining. “Negative talk produces negative thoughts; negative thoughts produce negative results”, says Bowen. For the next 100 days, whenever you catch yourself complaining about anything, stop yourself.

11. Set your alarm a minute earlier every day for the next 100 days. Then make sure that you get out of bed as soon as your alarm rings, open the windows to let in some sunlight, and do some light stretching. In 100 days you’ll be waking up an hour and forty minutes earlier than you’re waking up now.

12. For the next 100 days, keep Morning Pages, which is a tool suggested by Julia Cameron. Morning Pages are simply three pages of longhand, stream of consciousness writing, done first thing in the morning.

13. For the next 100 days make it a point to feed your mind with the thoughts, words, and images that are most consistent with who you want to be, what you want to have, and what you want to achieve.

Why You Should Be Chief Growth Officer of Your Family

It isn’t just about becoming a better person for your own sake; it’s a way to benefit the people closest to you.

by Annie Mueller

Companies benefit from having well-developed, growing, open-minded leaders. Your children (members of a different kind of company) should also benefit from having leaders who pursue personal development, understanding and growth.
Taking time for personal growth might seem selfish, but it’s not. Many self-improvement practices like keeping a journal, meditating, practicing optimism and reading come with a long list of mental, emotional and physical benefits. And when you put time and effort into becoming a better person, your children reap the rewards.
How?

1. Give your child a better primary influence.

A parent’s influence is the first and arguably the most influential relationship in any child’s life. On a daily basis, parents influence how their children interact socially and what habits, views and preferences they form. In the long-term, they influence everything from religious beliefs to physical development, from emotional well-being to hygiene habits to anxiety levels.
No pressure, huh? Of course, as a parent, you know you don’t have it all figured out. You do the best you can.
Pursuing personal growth can help you do better.
You can’t choose whether you will influence your child. You will. That’s a given. You can choose, however, whether you’ll be static, stuck at one level of ability, or whether you will continually seek to grow into a better person who can be a more positive influence.
