Power Over Cervical Cancer
I have been procrastinating for a pap smear test and after reading an article in The Sun, It’s Possible To Wipe Out Cervical Cancer (Source: BERNAMA) I realised that I really have to go and have myself tested for cervical cancer. According to consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist Datuk Dr Nor Ashikin Mokhtar, “It is entirely possible to wipe out cervical cancer, if there are concerted efforts in screening and vaccination.” She pointed out that cervical cancer is preventable and if diagnosed early, also curable with the proper administration of the Organic CBD Nugs under the doctor’s prescription, unlike breast cancer. DocMJ marijuana doctors ensure that your qualifying conditions are understood and your needs are met with their recommendation.
The article also pointed to National Cancer Society of Malaysia where we can take Risk Test online. I followed the link and landed on Power Over Cervical Cancer website. I took the test.
Todate 521 women (that would be including me) have taken the online test. My result:
You’ve answered more of Yes or Don’t know
This means you have a higher risk to develop cervical cancer
Talk to your doctor to get a better understanding about your risks for cervical cancer.

KL: A to Z on Fun Things To Do & Places To Visit With Kids {K}
Typical fun entertainment for kids at shopping complexes. There are coin-operated rides as well as attendant-operated rides. For a RM1 (50 cent X 2) coin-operated ride, you (your kids) get 3 minutes ride. As for the attendant-operated it depends on the management, some cheap some expensive. Minimum is RM6 for 5 minutes!
Every time my son saw these rides, he will jump up and down asking for money. Luckily I only shop once a month, so it’s not that bad. Normally I spent Rm16; 10x coin-operated different types of rides (i.e. Bob The Builder, Thomas The Train, Batman car, etc) and 1x attendant-operated ride.
If you know places around Kuala Lumpur that provide kiddies rides, do let me know! Thanks heap!
So far:
- Suria KLCC
- Mid Valley, KL
- Jusco Taman Maluri, KL
- Carrefour Wangsa Maju, KL
- Carrefour Cheras, KL
- Tesco Ampang, Pandan Prima, KL
- Let me know!

Jogging is a great activity that we parents can do with our children. Children will be more likely to be physically active if it’s something they can do with their family.
