Thus there are are a few tips to pick up to ensure Muslims who are fasting worldwide remain a little a fresher and awake before the day ends.

1) During Sahur (Sahari/ Sehri/ Suhoor) consume a very heavy meal and water. This is essential as any breakfast meal which you will take whenever you wish to skip lunch. Consuming a heavy meal and plenty of water will provide the energy you need to go through your daily activities without feeling like a withered cabbage.

2) During your breaking of fast, control the amount of water you intake. Even though your throat is as parched as the desert, you still need to consume your meal. It will not be good should you become full by just consuming water only. Always try to eat a proper meal whenever you break your fast. You need to replenish whatever energy and nutrients your body had consumed during your fast.

3) Most of us feel tired and sluggish during the mid-day. Temptation to sleep is very high. If you can get a nap during your break time, do it. It will do wonders to your body and mind. If you are unable to get a nap, wash your face and try to do some stretch exercise for at least 15mins to get the oxygen to all parts of your body.

Hopefully the tips work for you! If you have any other ideas and wish to share it, feel free to drop us a comment!

1) Always cough in a tissue paper or your hand if there isn’t any tissue paper around.

2) Wash your hands immediately after you cough/sneeze onto your hands.

3) Wear a mask when you don’t feel well especially if you suspect that you are having flu or a cold.

4) Always wash your hands after you use the toilet and if you there are any sanitizers, use them. You might be surprised at how many germs and bacteria you may receive by  just touching the door knob of the toilet cubicles.

5) If you feel unwell, do the responsible thing and try to only stay at home. Call your office and inform them of your condition and head immediately to the doctor wearing a mask. The patients who goes to the clinic are unwell people and you may not want to spread your disease to them and if you’re unlucky contract any from them also.

6) Get a shower or a bath every time you return from an outing. Germs and bacterias are everywhere. You do not know if the shopper beside you are infected with an incubated disease thus it is best to always get a shower after you return from an outing or work.

7) Change your beddings regularly. It is advisable to change it weekly. Bacterias and germs flourish in a dirty environment and unchanged and dirtied linens and beddings are a good nesting point for them.

Since I happen to be a public commuter for years, I’ve jotted down some tips to avoid these unwanted mishaps. Please take note that the below mentioned does not guarantee the safety of your belongings. It’s just ways in crime prevention.

1) Avoid Public Molesting

This happens usually to the women. When taking public transport, bear in mind that you are going public, thus sharing your personal space with strangers for the same purpose of commuting. You are not taking your car to arrive at your desired locations, therefore women listen!

Do not wear any clothes that may attract unwanted attentions. IF you value your modesty & honor, ditch those Versace Deep V-plunging neckline blouses, mini skirts, high slit Dolce & Gabanna dresses and those hot sexy pants.

Trust me, you do not want to receive leering looks,constant peeking looks in an effort to catch another glimpse of your bountiful cleavage. If you’re unlucky, you’d even get an occasional groping on your rump.

So no sexy clothes!

2) Be considerate to your neighbouring commuter.

Try avoid using high heels or stilettos. Standing for hours in packed environment will kill your legs. It will cause a lot of pain in your leg muscles and if you’re unfortunate, you’d find yourself experiencing back problems.

Furthermore, I doubt your neighbours would appreciate having his feet being stepped on.

3) Don’t talk on your mobile phone loudly.

I hate having to listen to a person’s conversation who are a few meters away from me. I don’t mind people answering their phones if it’s an emergency. But it’d be very considerate if you can continue your conversation later in a perhaps less packed environment.

I don’t want to hear what you’ll be having for dinner!

4) Blaring your music on your handphone.

I do not appreciate listening the music blasting from your phone. So all of us knew you have a handphone. I do too and so is everyone else. But not all of us appreciated the songs that are blaring out loudly. I happen to love my peace and tranquility after a tiring day at the office.

So unless you want others especially me curse you in losing your mobile phone, we’d appreciate you keeping the music to yourself.

5) Move into the rear end of the bus or train.

I hate to keep shouting and requesting irritating ignorant commuters to move into the rear end of the bus. Other new commuters pay for their fares too and we’d like to have the ability to hold onto something when the bus is moving. There are no monsters at the rear end, so MOVE!

6) Do not litter in the bus!

Don’t you hate it when you finally got a seat, the stupid selfish idiot that sat before you left a momento for other commuters. I hate rubbish, so do not litter! What’s so difficult in holding onto the rubbish for a few moment? If my niece can do it, so can you.

1) Do not spend on items that are not a necessity.
– Yes my dears, as much as we love to spend even on the little bit of items, sometimes we tend to buy items that are not even used by us, thus wasting our hard earned money. No matter how cute or techy the item looks, think. Do you really need to buy it? What are the frequency of you using it every month? If the answer is no and 2% frequency usage, then you might as well ditch the idea and save your money for something else.

2) Use public transport to work.
– No doubt we hate to share our personal space with strangers, public transport is the best way to cut cost on your transport expenses. When we say public transport, we meant the buses. No taxis. Look at it this way, you only spend RM2.50 max on your tranport fee single trip to work instead of RM15 worth of petrol. You no need to worry about traffic jam cuz there is a driver to take care of that problem, unless you are running late for work.

You just have to wake up a bit earlier for work, walk further (good for losing extra weight ladies) and bring a foldable umbrella with you at all times. It’s easy and very save cost. Why do you think Le Vamp and Ninja Turtle manage to have a better bank account standing than any of us…

Or you can try to organise a car pool with your colleagues if you still insist on not taking the public transport.

3) Pack food from home. Forget ego and questioning looks cast at you when you walk into the cafeteria with a Ta-Pao food in your hand. They are just jealous not thinking about the idea sooner. Packing food from home not only save you large amount of money but it also tells your wife how much you love her cooking.

4) Use fan at home instead of air-con no matter how much tempting it looks. A fan only takes up a little of your electricity bill compared to air-con. Turn off all those unecessary lights and appliances when not in use.

That seems to be the only logical ideas that graced our minds right now. However should we find any more good ideas, we will be sure to update this category.
