Jr. NBA by Dutch Lady

I played basketball,

Every Saturday.......

Thanks to Dutch Lady,

Now I will have the chance,

To be a part of Jr. NBA!!!~

Super duper C-O-O-L!~

In celebration of World Milk Day this year, 

Dutch Lady Malaysia will go beyond 

Spreading the goodness of milk 
With a campaign that helps Malaysian children 
Adopt an active and healthy lifestyle.

Aptly named Drink.Move.Be Strong, 

The campaign essentially encourages children 

To drink one glass of milk a day 

And spend one hour a day on outdoor exercise.

Putting the campaign into action, 
Dutch Lady Malaysia will present 
The first Jr. NBA programme in Malaysia. 


Under its Drink.Move.Be Strong campaign, 
“It has been staged in the Philippines 
It will officially launch on 31 May, 2014, 
"On the impetus of the Drink.Move.Be Strong campaign, 

The NBA’s international youth development programme 
Will serve as a vehicle 
To promote physical activity 
Through basketball participation.

Rahul Colaco, Managing Director of Dutch Lady Malaysia, 
Said the Jr. NBA programme promotes 
Not only basketball participation, sportsmanship and teamwork, 
But more importantly, 
An active lifestyle among children. 

For seven consecutive years, 
And has reached more than 80,000 students, parents and coaches 
Participating in its camps, clinics and activities. 
We plan to present Jr. NBA Malaysia 
As an annual programme 
To get more and more Malaysian children and parents 
Appreciate and reap the healthful benefits of sports,” he added.

Jr. NBA Malaysia 2014 
Presented by Dutch Lady Malaysia 
Will conduct a series of exciting basketball clinics and camps 
To get children to be active and drink milk. 

A day before World Milk Day (on 1 June, 2014) 

Colaco said it is founded on the belief that
Every child’s growth and development 
Is heavily influenced by both nutrition and daily exercise. 
“It is also conceptualised 
To address nutritional and lifestyle gaps 
Found in Malaysian children 
Based on the the findings of SEANUTS,” he said.

Return To Zero

520 is a beautiful date...
It means 'I love you!'

Based on true story,
Return To Zero,
Telling the story of how a loving couple,
Facing the most difficult time of their life:-
Their baby son has died in the womb...
L-O-V-E is a strong and only bonding,
That makes their marriage and relationship goes on....

Premieres on 20 May (520), Tuesday,
At 8pm on Lifetime (CH709 on Astro)

*Repeats on 25 May, Sunday, at 9pm 
And 31May, Saturday at 4pm..

Maggie (Minnie Driver) and Aaron (Paul Adelstein).
Happily preparing for the arrival of their first child..

Just weeks before their due date,
They are devastated to discover that,
Their baby son has died in the womb,
And will be stillborn...

Don't miss the chance to catch:
Return To Zero...
On Astro Lifetime (CH709)
And learns the new maths of how...
Three minus one,
Could be equal to ZERO!~

The couple attempt to go on with their lives,
But cannot escape their postpartum grief,
And their relationship has been,
Forever altered by this loss...

They try to cope in a myriad of ways:

Through denial, escape and alcohol...

But when Maggie discovers that,
Aaron is having an affair with a co-worker,
She decides to end the marriage.
  

Just when Maggie believes she has started a new life,
She discovers that she is pregnant...

With the help of an empathetic doctor
Who once experienced a similar loss,
Maggie finally learns to grieve for her son,
And must reunite with Aaron,
To prepare for their second pregnancy. 

Director and Writer of Return to Zero,
Sean Hanish explained that,
Return to Zero means returning to a place,
Where you need to rediscover,
A new philosophy for life. 

He and his wife,
Lost their son,
Norbert Krekorian Hanish,
In July 2005,
After 37 weeks...

The true meaning of marriage is,
No matter how hard and tough life is,
Both husband and wife,
Are still facing every ups and downs TOGETHER,
And building an entire new life philosophy from scratch...

Pregnancy is never an easy experience,
Delivery is always a painful experience,
But babies are always beautiful.....
The moment babies are born,
You'll know....
Miracle happens......

About The Film

While this film is intended,for a wide-release to audiences regardless of their life experience, Return to Zero fills a particular niche for a market that has gone unserved — those who have or know someone who has experienced the devastating loss of stillbirth, miscarriage, or neonatal death.

The statistics on stillbirth, which is the loss of a child after 20th week of pregnancy, are remarkable. In the U.S. alone there are approximately 26,000 stillbirths a year. That is equivalent to the amount of people who die in traffic accidents across this country every year. Yet, this topic has never been the central theme of a feature film.

The impact that one stillbirth has on the mother, the father, their family, and friends is devastating — a shock-wave of pain, guilt and then, too often, silence. The majority of those affected, especially the mothers, suffer in this silence often believing that their grief and trauma is theirs to bear alone.

While planning to entertain and enlighten all audiences with a dramatic tale of the strength and resilience of the human spirit, Return to Zero intends to break through the silence and become a beacon of cinematic light to the millions in search of answers, understanding and healing.

Return to Zero has been selected as one of the official selection of RIFF Awards 2014, and CINEQUEST Film Festival.

Tick-Tack-Toe

I found a new way,
To play Tick-Tack-Toe...
Not using pen or pencil,
To mark down on the paper,
But using my Wikki Stix,
To stick on the wall....

Fun?
Of course Yes!~
Added the fun,
To the little Tick-Tack-Toe Game..

Time to play!~

Activities @UK Farm

Petting animals at mini zoo...
Aiming and shooting in the Archery...
Having the greatest sheep challenge...

Are activities we enjoyed in UK Farm!~

We all go into the area...
And try to catch the sheep...
It's a lot more harder than we could imagine...
The sheep run very very fast!~

Daddy managed to catch...
To be exact just touching,
One of the sheep's leg.....
With a fall until his knee is bleeding...

To win this little medal in the sheep challenge...

Time to aim and shoot,

In the archery...

It's a bit tough,
And the tools are big for kids...
I guess it's just cool activities for the adults...

There's a beer garden,
But we skip this part...
Daddy and mummy said,
Beers are not allowed for kids...

Unlike other normal coconut trees I saw before,
With the coconuts high up in the tree,
The coconut trees in UK Farm are very cute and short...
We can touch the coconuts easily!~

Can't help singing the song...

C-O-C-O-N-U-T, Coconut!~

Thanks to Friso,

For the superb experience,

In the farm!~
