Walking along the streets in Malaysia, you may hear a number of different languages—Malay, English, Mandarin, or even Indian. More people have decided to travel to Kuala Lumpur to witness the incredible development of Western Malaysia.

However, having a passion for experiencing multi-cultural and peaceful lifestyles, I chose another route—Sabah, the second largest state in Malaysia. I took a trip there in August. With a knowledgeable guide and warm-hearted locals, it turned out to be an unforgettable experience.

Although Sabah is not that rich or prosperous like Western Malaysia, I prefer the easy and simple life there. Its social ethos(精神气质)is more harmonious than any other scenic spot.

During my five-day stay, I think the Mangrove Forest was the most impressive destination. Have you ever imagined what it might be like to boat through a pleasant breeze while drops of light blur(模糊)your vision? My mind drifted away with the warmth of the sunlight. I lost myself in the peaceful and relaxing surroundings, and fell into a splendid dream world.

However, as a former British colony, it still holds some customs that are difficult for me to get used to. For me, the various dialects and unique expressions among the locals were the biggest issues to deal with. Regardless of this, it taught me a lot. My time at Sabah was very memorable.

Deciding to get her money's worth out of the wedding dress on which she spent over $1, 000, an Australian woman has been wearing her wedding dress, a year after her wedding.

43-year-old Tammy Hall adopted a new lifestyle—anti-consumerism(反消费主义)lifestyle in 2016, after a trip to India opened her eyes to how much we as a society consumed. She decided not to buy any new clothes or footwear for a whole year after she returned home to Adelaide, in Southern Australia, and she managed to make it.

But last year, as her wedding day approached, she faced a dilemma. She wanted to look good on the most important day of her life, but how could she spend a small fortune on the wedding dress she would only wear on that day?

"In the end I decided that if I was going to get a wedding dress, I'd make sure I could get my money's worth, "Hall tells PA Real Life.

"The first time I wore it after the wedding was to vote in the Australian election in early 2019, "the 43-year-old adds. "Since then, it's been to all sorts of places. Wearing it on a crowded train was especially funny, but I've worn it to do housework, to football games and to the gym. "

Hall says that she has gotten some strange looks from people, but no irritating comments. It may have something to do with the fact that the dress is not the fanciest, but she believes people are just too reserved to say anything. Anyway, she doesn't really care, because she knows she has to hit the goal she has set and wearing the dress multiple times is the most reasonable way she could think of to make the most of her wedding dress.

Hall now plans to wear her wedding dress on a trip to Iceland that she and her partner will take next summer.

"Keeping the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear." This saying by Buddha is a life motto of highly healthy people.  The following four habits will significantly improve your health.

They are organized and disciplined.

If you want to be healthy, you should try to become organized.  It will help you succeed in everything and do things on time.

In our busy lives, it's very easy to ignore the healthy habits that keep us feeling great and eating right. Highly healthy people usually have a habit to prioritize(优先考虑)their health. They are particular about their nutrition. They always avoid fast food because they find it very harmful.

They have an exercise schedule.

Exercise and other physical activities are not only good for you, but they are also a fun way to spend time.  That's why they set aside time for exercise in the mornings or evenings. Due to the high level of self-organization, they easily stick to the exercise schedule. They think that active lifestyle and regular sports will help them live longer.

They get enough sleep.

Sleep plays an important role in immune(有免疫力)function, memory, learning and other important functions.  It is very important to wake up and go to sleep at the same time, because your body works according to a certain rule.

A. They take care of their health.

B. Lack of sleep can affect your immune system.

Dear Alpha,

Can you help me, please? I have tried to stop smoking several times. I am OK for two days and then I feel really sick and irritable and I have to start smoking again. I know smoking is a bad habit, but I just can't seem to give it up. Do you have any useful tips?

Yours sincerely,

If one more person talks about the benefits of mindfulness, I will throw cabbage at them. Just kidding. But I do have lots of cabbage happily rotting away in my kitchen thanks to the wellness obsession(着迷)that failed to keep my attention. This is a symptom of a phenomenon known as "wellness tiredness".

Wellness is seriously big business with a worth of $3. 72 trillion and a healthy annual growth of 14 percent. To satisfy this consuming desire, brands of super foods and various exercise classes crowd in. "The problem with all this constantly changing information on what to eat or which exercise class to take is that people begin to form distorted (扭曲的)mindsets towards the idea of a healthy lifestyle, "explains Dr. Bijal, a psychologist at Nightingale Hospital. "The least harmful result of a distorted mindset will be confusion. The most harmful would be serious physical and mental disorders like extreme dieting or over-exercising. "

It's little wonder that many people are beginning to reject the idea of wellness and the lifestyle it advocates." I can't tell you the number of wellness accounts I've unfollowed on Instagram, "one fitness-enthusiast friend tells me. When I ask her why, she tells me that the public pursuit(追求)of wellness has reached "the eye-roll stage". Meanwhile, sales of fitness trackers and wearable wellness things have dropped sharply.

Speaking of gym culture, which offers classes like Hula Hoop and Yoga, it's also beginning to show signs that people are returning to more conventional forms of exercise, some that wouldn't look out of place on a school timetable.

The whole point of wellness is that it should become such an everyday thing that you forget about seeking it. Living a healthy lifestyle becomes a given rather than something singled out as impressive and worth applauding. Now, more people are starting to cycle to and from work, swim on lunch breaks and even try to buy old school exercise bikes.
