This lockdown has affected my skin's health in ways I cannot imagine. It might be the stress or the sudden change in daily routine or food but my skin has decided to dry up on me like the Sahara Desert.

1. Murder on the Orient Express (Harper Collins)
Author: Agatha Christie
Destination: Turkey
“It would be a pity to pass through (Istanbul), — comme ça.” He snapped his fingers descriptively. “Nothing presses—I shall remain there as a tourist for a few days.”

After solving his latest case, detective Hercule Poirot planned to spend a few days in Istanbul as a tourist. With its East meets West location, visitors can immerse themselves in its long history dating back to the Roman empire. Istanbul is undoubtedly rich with culture, unique arts, and remarkable architectural sites. If the book inspired you to get to know more about Istanbul, take a look at the Hagia Sophia, once an Orthodox Church and Ottoman Mosque.

Malaysia’s biggest Columbia Asia Hospital Opens in Tebrau
I've had only one experience using Columbia Asia and that was for a health medical check up required for me to get my teaching license. Who knew right. Anyway, I opted for the Columbia Asia near my house because I figured there would be fewer people there and wouldn't need to wait so long compared to University Malaya or Assunta Hospital nearby. I registered, made an appointment in advance and showed up on my appointment date with little fuss. Did my medical check up the morning, went for brunch with my old work mates during which I got a call saying my results are ready and went back after lunch to collect them. Easy.

In light of the uncertainties brought about by the still developing Covid-19 global pandemic, Dirigo Events regretfully announced the cancellation of the Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon (KLSCM) 2020 that was scheduled to take place on 13 and 14 June 2020. The health and safety of runners, organising crew, volunteers, medical personnel, officials and police personnel are their top priority, and after consultations with all relevant stakeholders, they would not in good conscience proceed with the event without being able to guarantee everyone’s safety.
