As you know, Cameron Highlands are
famous with lots of fresh local veg-
etables and fruits ingredients. With his
passion on ice cream and waffles, he did
some research to develop more varieties
of ice cream and waffles flavors using the
available ingredients from Cameron.

cream. Its a perfect match. Highly recom-
mended by the Mrs. Tan and true enough
it is super yummy.

for this waffle is Teh Tarik, Chocolate or

WD-40
Saving us from Troubles!
Assumed WD-40 is only good for squeaky hinges or
to loosen tight and rusty bolts?
Here are some amazing ways that this familiar blue
and yellow can make your daily life easier! And with
flood disaster around the corner, its all the more im-
portant to start preparing for any disaster where you
might be stuck outdoors or indoors.
WD-40 is renowned and respected by millions of
households around the world because of its versatili-
ty and effectiveness through the 60 years since it was
invented, says Marcus Chen Kwang Meng, WD-40
Company Regional Director Asia.
With the monsoon season in Malaysia and rainy
weather expected, we hope that some of these tried
and tested tips can help families and individuals to
prepare for the unexpected.
So what are the ways that WD-40 can help?
Lubricates Just About Anything
2. Malaysias hot and humid weath-
er can have damaging effects on

bicycle parts, hinges, latches and locks on doors, gates, tool-
boxes, ladders and trucks, any moving parts on a vehicle,
and power tools including drills, nail guns and staple guns.
 Keeps Parts Rust Free

3. A fast-moving flood will wreak havoc on

nuts and bolts, leaving them rusted and
stuck. Get jammed parts moving after a
big storm with a spray of WD-40 Multi-
Use Product. Penetrates and removes rust from screws, nuts,

smoothly. This powerful product removes carbon build-up on
spark plugs, gets rid of residue from solenoids, loosens carbure-
tor linkage when stuck, dries ignition wires (with engine turned
off), and also removes residue from pistons.

Keeps Your Tools Pristine

5. In the midst of disasters, you will need

your tools to be ready for any job. Spray
your axe, shovel and saw with WD-40
Multi-Use Product to ensure that they
are rust-free and in prime condition for chopping fallen trees or
removing displaced objects from your yard.

Runs Wires Through A Conduit

6. Unprotected wires can be hazardous in

an electrical storm. To prevent lightning
strikes, use WD-40 Multi-Use Product to
smoothly pull wires through a conduit to
safeguard your property from a potential fire or explosion.

RFID BLOCKING DEVICE
DO YOU NEED ONE?

R
RFID technology, or radio frequency identifica-
tion, has been around for a long time. Along with
the convenience, however, comes the risk of hav-
ing the information contained on RFID-equipped
items being stolen in a new brand of electronic
pick pocketing known as RFID skimming.

The technology has made its way into a variety of items, includ-
ing credit cards, drivers licenses and passports.

These items, which are mostly found in the wallets of people,

use embedded RFID chips to transmit information wireless to
compatible readers to perform functions such as confirming the
persons identity or paying for a purchase.

RFID uses radio waves to read information stored on tags

attached to certain objects, and can be scanned from several
feet away, without the need for a direct line-of-sight to the
reader.

The Threat Of RFID Skimming

Individuals who have RFID readers can possibly activate the

RFID chips embedded in personal items, which would allow
them to extract sensitive information without the owner of the
items even knowing that they were victimized.

Over the years, hackers have demonstrated methods of using

handheld RFID readers to acquire information from several feet
away.

Information that can be extracted this way include the name

and country of origin listed in a passport, and more alarmingly,
complete credit card numbers.

The Need For RFID-Blocking
Wallets
One of the more popular ways for con-
sumers to protect themselves from RFID
skimming is through the use of RFID-
blocking wallets, which has spurred a
whole new industry. Before, the most
important decision to be made on pur-
chasing a wallet is choosing its color and
material; now, one of the top criteria for
purchasing wallets is that they should
have RFID-blocking capabilities.
This new kind of wallet protects consum-
ers from RFID skimming by creating a
shield around their RFID-equipped items.
This shield repels the electromagnetic
energy sent out by RFID readers that the
items need to be able to send out the
information they contain.
Alternatives For Worried People
For consumers who are worried by RFID
skimming, but do not want to replace
their wallet for any reason, there are
some alternatives in protecting your
RFID-equipped items.
One such option is the Armourcard,
which is a battery-powered device with

the size of a thicker credit card that can
be slipped into wallets or bags. When a
person comes in contact with an RFID
reader, the Armourcard jams scanning
attempts made by the reader. The prod-
uct has been launched in Australia and
is making its way into the United States
through online stores.
Other options for protecting against
RFID skimming include placing the items

Thats why I use Sudo an app that automatically generates

I created a secure email address, a new phone number and use
the browser to prevent any of my information being collected by
third party apps/companies. Its also a great way to book flights
and hotels without having the prices jump up immediately
after searching for them. The app gives you, and only you, total
control over your personas, and it doesnt collect any of your
personal data or track/monitor any of your communications
while youre online.
Plus, if you meet people while traveling and want to stay in
contact you can give them your new Sudo number or email
address as a way to reach you without having to give them your
actual phone number or email address.
After all, you never know how crazy people will turn out Ive
had some horror stories of people Ive met while traveling who
seemed perfectly normal only to become weirdly stalker-ish
shortly afterwards.
4. Call your bank and credit card company before-
hand.
Its happened to me I flew into London only to have none of
my credit cards work because I realized AFTER I had gotten off
the plane that I had forgotten to call my credit card company
and inform them about my travel plans.
Call your bank and credit card company beforehand and give
them approximate dates + locations on where youre going and
when so that you dont get stuck having no way of contacting
them afterwards. Many banks now offer this service online, so
log into your online account and check before hopping on the
plane.
5. Check the local currency and bring as much cash
as needed.
Check the local currency and anticipate any situations where
you may need cash as soon as you arrive at the airport at your
destination. Its usually better to take cash out at the ATM, as
most airport money exchange kiosks will take a commission
and/or give you a horrible exchange rate. The best is to bring
along your debit card as the card gives you better exchange
rates.
Dont bring too much cash, though I feel nervous/anxious if
I have too much cash on me at one time. Look up the prices
of cabs to your hotel from the airport, or first destination upon
arrival estimate the amount you think you may need and
plan accordingly!
6. Check the carry-on requirements for your airline.
There is absolutely no reason to bring luggage bigger than carry
on size. I repeat no reason. Traveling light is only going to
make your experience EASIER.
If you have a huge suitcase, buy a new one and one that fits
the carry-on requirements for the airline youll be flying on.
Most budget airlines have smaller requirements, so check those
beforehand and compare with the suitcases/luggage you are
currently eyeing. Plus, if youre taking a carry-on size suitcase,
youll save money.
7. Bring the appropriate outlet adaptors and plugs to
charge your electronics.
Research what countries use what plugs and search for adap-
tors that are sold from reputable brands/companies.
You can buy individual adaptors or all-in-one adaptors. Pack
these along with your electronics to ensure that you have a way
to charge your goodies while youre traveling!
8. Learn basics of the language.
This is not only going to make your life easier, but its also a
way to be respectful of the culture and country you are visiting.
A few weeks before you travel, take the time to learn even the
basics of the destinations language please, hello, thank you,
excuse me and goodbye just a few terms that will help open
the door, and probably invite a smile from someone local to
the area.
Some countries are home to people who know multiple
languages just because they grew up there (i.e. Switzerland,
Morocco) dont expect everyone to speak English, either. And
if you can only speak English (which is completely fine!), learn
how to ask if someone speaks English in their native tongue.
