The Beaconhouse International School Convention (BISC) was initiated in Bangkok last year to highlight the importance of sports in academic learning. The international sports meet saw a stellar breed of students from around the world come together in a full day sports tournament, cheered on by thousands of supporters.

Riding on the huge success of the inaugural convention, this year the convention is held in Malaysia. A huge crowd of students, teachers and parents showed their support to over 200 delegates from Malaysia, Oman, Pakistan, Phillippines and Thailand competing in Badminton, Basketball, Athletics, Futsal and Swimming. The chance to compete was open to both male and female students, from 12 to 16 years of age. The Convention continued at Beaconhouse Sri Inai International School the next day with panel discussions, quiz, science exhibition, art installation and photography.


The Malaysian sports team made up of 50 delegates was chosen through an inter-school carnival in Malaysia held between Beaconhouse Sri Inai, Beaconhouse Sri Murni, Beaconhouse Sri Lethia, and Newlands International School. The students from Malaysia were aged between 12-16, hailing from different Beaconhouse Schools in Malaysia and most played together as a team for the first time. For many it was the first time playing in an international tournament against other countries.


Mr Kasim Kasuri, CEO of Beaconhouse Group said the school places emphasis on an all-rounded education and not just classroom excellence. The strong network within the school group also allows for
a stronger global apparoach and exposes the students to activities and experiences that may be challenging for other schools.

“This is a unique experience that not many students get to have – a rare chance to meet and compete with other students in the region while still keeping it friendly. We are able to offer this to our students as we have a vast network of schools that spans from Europe to Asia. This ability to use our network to offer experiences to our students is what sets us apart from the rest,” said Mr Kasim Kasuri.


Representative of Yang Berhormat Datuk Saravanan A/L Murugan of Ministry of Youth & Sports, Mr. P. Subramaniam emphasized on the importance of sports and education in order to build a progressive and sustainable nation .

“Apart from having the ability to improve overall fitness, Sports plays a vital role in terms of societal development – it has the power to bring together people of any ethnicity, any religious or political belief. It enhances national unity. Sports are often taught in school for this very reason, as it is a good way for children to learn to work together in teams, and they start to understand the important roles that people play in everyday society,” Said Mr. Subramaniam


Regional Director of Beaconhouse Malaysia Mr. Syed Jahanzeb Shah said the power of sports in building character should not be underestimated. This is part of Beaconhouse’s ethos of building Lifelong Learners and Future Leaders.


“True sportsmanship is about fairness, ethics, respect, and a sense of fellowship with one's competitors. It is important not only as a practice of etiquette and respect in sports but also because it helps teach young athletes good behavior that carries over into other aspects of life,” said Mr Jahanzeb


Through BISC 2017, Beaconhouse hopes to be at the forefront in contributing to future world leaders who excel both academically as well as in real life.

It's never too early to plan for Prosperity

You know I love being Malaysian because I love to eat... pineapple tarts one of my favorite too! 

Cultural festivals celebrated in Malaysia are valued for one important reason: their predictability. From Deepavali to Aidilfitri, the masses return to familiar routines, customs, habits, and cuisine they commit themselves to once every year, usually in the company of friends, family and euphonious laughter. People already know what to expect when they balik kampung to celebrate the festivities with their loved ones, and it is precisely this anticipation to experience the familiar that only comes once a year which keeps such cultural celebrations alive. To usher in the Year of the Ram next Chinese New Year, SCS takes on the ambitious task of upgrading a familiar festival classic, the pineapple tart.

Chinese New Year is coming soon, I am sure many people are preparing baking for many types of cookies. I don't know baking pineapple tarts but I know where you can find recipes to bake them. Scroll down to read more info. 

For generations, this sweet and savoury bite-sized pastry is a must have for family reunions during the Chinese New Year and whose quality make for impassioned conversations between middle-aged aunties wanting to perfect their own pineapple tart recipes. The shape and size of these delectable treats differ from region to region but none have dared deviate from time-honoured proportions that produce the tarts’ distinctive flavour and aroma. It doesn’t take a connoisseur to know that the pastry itself plays an equally important role as the pineapple jam filling. Just as it is inconceivable to celebrate Chinese New Year without these tarts, the creation of buttery, fluffy, and crusty pineapple tarts is impossible without quality butter, like SCS butter.

However, easily replicated perfection simply by the procurement of the right ingredients is never an indication of innovation. As such, SCS takes a step further by introducing eight newly developed pineapple tarts, complemented with a variety of flavours, to enhance and update a much beloved classic. These new varietals include Pineapple Cream Cheese, Pecan Pineapple, Berrylicious Pineapple, Chocolate Brownie Pineapple, Caramel Pineapple, Creamy Mango and Pineapple White Chocolate, Oatmeal Pineapple, and Green Tea Pineapple.

Baking enthusiasts interested in the recipes for the pineapple tarts above can check out SCS’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/scsdairymalaysia or their YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/SCSDairy. Recipe booklets for the tarts can also be obtained from select supermarkets. Coming January 2015, SCS will be launching an online-driven pineapple tart contest, so keep an eye out on their Facebook page for updates.

Above picture of me and Pn. Rafidah (Mydin). You are looking we holding the recycle bag. You can get the recycle bag free when you purchase RM25 products of P&G in MYDIN.

On Saturday morning I was invited by Pn. Rafidah to P&G and MYDIN for this meaningful event. It is be part of Special Olympics Great Movement P&G and MYDIN call for greater opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities.

 

What is Special Olympics? Special Olympics, it is an international organization that changes lives by promoting undersand, acceptance and inclusion between people with and without intellectual disabilities. Through year-round sports training and atheletic competition and other related programming for 2.8 million children and adults with intellectual disabilities in more than 180 countries. Special Olympics has created a model community that celebrates people's diverse gifts. Founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Special Olympics provides people with intellectual disabilities continuing opportunities to realize their potential, develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage and experience joy and friendship.

Then speech by Datuk Muhammad Feisol Hassan President of Specials Olympics Malaysia.

The Special Olympics atheletes were invited on stage.

14 year old Dehveyann was born with Down syndrome, a condition typically associated with delay in cognitive ability and physical growth, however this strong-willed boy is providing to all that the only limitation in anyone in the limit they set on themselves and for Dehveyann, the sky seems to be the limit. A condident swimmer and a hardworking athelete, Dehveyann is given a chance to represent Malaysia in the 1st Asia Pacific Special Olympics Games in Australia.

 Above picture two special athletes Dehveyann (swimmer) and Zaim Abu Hirzan (bowler) will represent Malaysia in the 1st Asia Pacific Special Olympics Games in Australia this December 2013. Picture credit from Sidney Kan.

Many special children, like Dehveyann, are discovering their potential and going beyound what they are commonly expected to through sports and Special Olympics is a place where not only they are given the opportunity to be active in sports but also interact with their peers in a supportive and enriching environment.

The happy faces and the true confidence that can be seen on these special children is an inspiration for Procter & Gamble (P&G) and Mydin Mohamed Holdings Bhd (MYDIN) to roll out a fundraising campagin. P&G and MYDIN aim to raise funds in support of our athletes' participation in the 1st Asia Pacific Special Olympics Games in Newcastle, Australia.

Passionate in advocating a worthy cause, professional tenpin bowler Shailin Zulkifli, badminton coach Mohamad Razif Mohd Sidek and former national football player Datuk Santokh Singh who made apperance at the launch, will be conducting a motivational clinic for the special atheletes to boost their self-confidence. Above picture of Mohamad Razif Mohd Sidek and Datuk Santokh Singh.

Before the event ends, a group photo of the VIPs and special Olympics atheletes.

 

Starting from 23 Feb 2013 until 15 April 2013, consumers can help reach out the special atheletes by spending a minimum of RM10 on P&G range of products at participating MYDIN store. The campaign raises funds from sales of designated P&G products like Pantene, Head & Shoulders, Rejoice, Herbal Essence, Olay, Gillette, Oral-B, Downy, Ambi-Pur, Whisper, Febreze, Bonux, Dynamo and Fab.

 

 

Are you ready for school tomorrow?

Yes just a few more hours Sunday is over, we will welcome Monday and night needs to sleep early and wake up early to go school. My son maybe not use of it, he has been sleeping late for a week. Tomorrow teachers maybe see sleepy eyes of children in class.

Did you had a good time for a week of school holiday? My friend's daughter is having another week school holiday she is studying in kindergarten. Next year her gal will be same school as my son.

I am done checking his home works and books in his bag. His white shoes and white socks are ready. His school uniform is hang up. Hopefully I didn't miss out anything.

Where to buy breastfeeding bra?

If you are breastfeeding mom like me, I am sure you will like to shop for affordable breastfeeding bra. I like to shop at AEON for affordable bra price from RM19.90 if not mistaken. There have padded bra but I find the cup size too big for me.

The other day I purchased two pair of breastfeeding bra. I am happy with the haul because the cutting and design of bra I like it so much. Sometimes the cutting and design not very nice, so if you found the right bra grab two or more. You don't want to go back looking for more when they are sold out. No kidding this happened to me before and now if I spot the affordable and comfort bra I just bought two of them.

Breastfeeding bra is useful to breastfeed baby and for pump breast milk.

Lousy courier service until today never receive my items!

Last week when I wasn't around for two days, the exact two days the courier came and left their message at the gate. On Monday I called them up and the lady told me that they will courier to me on Tuesday, but no courier came on the day. Then I receive their call in the evening saying they will send courier on Wednesday. Sadly Wednesday no courier came, and until today there's no news from the courier.

It is difficult to get through their numbers, when I got through nobody answer the called. Yeah waited until the call end by itself. There's no saying where the courier sending from, it is only the courier company address. I check the courier company on their Facebook and seen that many people complains of them.

You bet I am mad at this courier company, I never know what's the item for me. Maybe is the Prize I won for my baby, the milk powder.

Passingby Pureen Sale@PJ

The sales of Pureen was on Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 6pm. In the afternoon on Saturday I was there but passingby in the car because too many car and bad traffic jam, my dear decided not to go. I saw many cars park at the road side because there is no proper place to park them. I was told there is parking lot available but it was close.

My friend manage to go on Sunday and park far away, she send sms to me asking if I go Pureen. I told her about the incident on Saturday, she too was there on Saturday and go back empty hand because traffic jam and no parking space. But Sunday she was lucky, she was there at 11 something and she manage to shop.
