How To Boost Your Intellect

According to the BBC, playing Sudoku or taking a shower with your eyes closed can make you up to 40% cleverer.

Brain exercises can make us 40% smarter in just a week!
BBC created a programme that combined healthy eating, physical activity, sound sleep and mental stimulation for the study.

This is the programme they created : THE GET SMARTER GUIDE! ooh

SAT = Brush your teeth with your 'Other' hand, and take a shower with you eyes closed.
SUN= Do a crossword or Sudoku in the papers and take a walk
MON= Have oily fish such as Salmon or Tuna for dinner, and cycle or walk to work.
TUES= Select unfamiliar words from the dictionary and work them into a ubiquitous conversation. (I just tried it)
WED= Do Yoga, pilates or a meditation class. Talk to a stranger
THURS= Take a different route to work, Watch Brainteaser (what's that?)
FRI = Avoid Caffeine or alcohol, memorise shopping list.

Hmm, seems like pretty simple list of things to do.
I wonder if playing bejeweled has the same effect . lol

The Evolving Urban City: Thriving Kuala Lumpur

The Evolving Urban Form: Kuala Lumpur A very well researched and presented article written by Wendell Cox 01/12/2013 It has very comprehensive graphs on the growth of Kuala Lumpur city, particularly useful for property investors that are seeking to understand geographical influences in property buying. I am currently writing an article for Mah Sing which aims to explain their purpose behind developments in the outer suburbs or outskirts of Greater KL. Finally moving towards a nation with progressive planning, I am glad that the fabled Wawasan 2020 may have achieved its influence in the minds of Malaysians.
