Borneo Antiques

25 September 2010
I took a trip to Kuching, Sarawak from 19 - 22 September. Even though I had been to this Sarawakian capital some years ago, I was tempted to come again just to update myself about this city. There were some developments here and there, new shopping complexes - The Spring, Tun Jugah Shopping Complex , as well as new hotels - The Four Seasons Hotel on the way to the Airport and Santa Magherita (formerly The Holiday Inn) overlooking the meandering Sungai Sarawak.
I took a relaxing walk up and down the Avenue and enjoyed every miniute of it, in the morning as well as in the evening. I also dropped in at the shops, now selling much more stuff for tourists like T-shirts, beautifully engraved key rings, etc. I have always loved Sarawak's wood work and craft. However, this time I was attracted to the antique brass earrings of the Orang Ulu. In fact, I bought 3 pairs each for both male and female. I shall frame them up and add on to my stock of frames of collectible items. These frames should adorn the living room and dining hall of antique lovers!

Transfer Factor

17 July 2010
All along, I have been conscious of the nutritional values of food. Every food, whether it is plant or animal-based,  has got its own nutritional values embedded in them. Otherwise, God would not have created them for the benefit of mankind. I believe in the old cliche that
You Are What You Eat. Since coming back from my holiday break in London (wherelse?), I thought I want to keep up with the London pace of brisk walking and minimal eating with sandwich snacks for lunch but a good meal for dinner. We also took back a good dose of dietary supplements to keep us healthy.
Then, I met up with an old friend, now  a Professor in one of the local Universities, who introduced me with a programme Transfer Factor - Immune Information Messenger Molecules - which impressed me quite a bit to register as a dealer. Transfer Factor claimed itself to be one of the Greatest Scientific Discovery of this Century, backed up by 50 years of research since 1949. This product also claimed to be the Most Powerful Immune System Product known to Science! And this Professor friend, who herself is a chemist, repeated the experiment and got back the same results. Impressed with this discovery, I enrolled as a dealer and my Gift Boutique is now selling the Transfer Factor products. The products are 100% natural, safe and halal, sources derived from bovine colostrum (cow's first milk) and egg yolk.
