SCHOOL’S OUT. “IT’S WIPEOUT”

School holiday is here. Yeah... Can see the happiness of all the kids. A question that often comes to mind is how to allocate one’s budget to maximise pleasure. Research shows that people experience much more joy spending money on experiences as opposed to material items from a shopping spree.
A study conducted by Cornell University in USA measured how adaptation affects happiness by asking people to self-report their happiness with major material versus experiential purchases. The result turned out to be counterintuitive, where a lasting physical object does not keep one as happy as long as a once-and-done experience does. Why is that so?
Ironically, while the happiness from material purchases diminishes over time as it fades into the background among other possessions, memories of experiences become an ingrained part of our identity. In addition, shared experiences create ties that binds. People are more likely to feel connected with someone they took vacation with than someone who also happens to have bought the same smartphone. Hence, happiness lasts longer and is multiplied by investing in life experiences.
This holiday season, families and friends can now spend a joyful and memorable time at Sunway Lagoon, Malaysia’s premier theme park is gearing up for a grand festive celebration like never before. From 1st to 30 December 2018, Sunway Lagoon’s “It’s Wipe Out” holiday celebration will feature exciting activities and events planned for visitors of all ages. The park will be open for extended hours until 9pm every weekend (Fri, Sat and Sun from 1 to 22 Dec) and daily from 23 to 30 Dec 2018.
Visitors at the park in December can expect to be thrilled and entertained by a barrage of events and goings-on. These include the Party Zone @ Mali Cove where guests will be entertained by a DJ as well as a variety of shows and performances.

It is indeed unbelievable but it is happening now in Malaysia. As a male blogger and influencer, it is my duty to raise awareness to all the male out there.

Most male breast cancers are diagnosed when a man discovers a lump on his chest. But unlike women, men tend to delay going to the doctor until they have more severe symptoms, like bleeding from the nipple. At that point, the cancer may have already spread Because men have very little breast tissue, i...
