Great domestic trips .. Terengganu , Pahang , Selangor , Penang and Johor Bahru

It is a mid term school holiday . We have some schedule what we called a " great domestic holidays " ... travelling from east to west and north to south of peninsular Malaysia . By the way it is also due to some small gathering at my brother in law house in Penang .

Selangor 

We start the day by driving thru LPT highway heading to Penang . But due to my health condition , we stopped at the small budget hotel at Batang Kali for a good night rest .

Penang

Morning we start our journey back to Penang by following Kuala Kubu road and then proceed towards the PLUS highway . As usual the journey was very smooth and after 2 hours we already reached Penang . Before heading to my brother in law house at Bukit Mertajam , we have a chance drove through the new second bridge to Penang Island . This is one of the new "year mark" in Penang and very good for motorist since its offer second alternative link and thus reduce the traffics . After that , we put a night and enjoyed our stayed at my in law house . Thanks for your hospitality !


Cameron Highland

The next morning , we drove to Cameron Highlands for a short break ie 2D1N  at this calm and cool highland . We stayed at Capthorne Hotel which is situated at Brinchang peak and closed to many tourist attraction such as markets , strawberry farms and many others . But the negative side , the hotel quiet ageing and its a time for them to get major refurbishment especially their furniture . By the way , we really enjoyed during our stayed there especially the very first time visited , The Time Tunnel Meseum , and our favourite steam boat restaurant for our dinner , Glory Restaurant , which is situated at Tanah Rata . Other than that , we did also enjoyed sipping the hot tea and taste a nice scorne at the Boh Cameron Cafe , plus viewing the awesome view of the green tea plantation .


Johor Bahru

On the next day , we check out and drove towards Johor Bahru where we spend for 3D2N at the Orange Inn hotel off Jln Tun Razak . This is a small budget hotel but very clean and offer complimentary breakfast with a  fast free WIFI . One of our activities , we do a small shopping at the Johor Premium Outlet and for me there is nothing much to offer since according to my wife , the clothes style available over here  is not really up to date . But the most important point actually we fetched our second son since he will be on holiday for a month semester break .

Scientists explain link between Stress and Heart Attack ...

Doctors have long known that chronic stress leads to cardiovascular disease, but have not understood the mechanism.

Last weekend, scientists said that they may have unravelled how chronic stress leads to heart attack and stroke – by triggering overproduction of disease-fighting white blood cells which can be harmful in excess.

Surplus cells clump together on the inner walls of arteries, restricting blood flow and encouraging the formation of clots that block circulation or break off and travel to another part of the body.

White blood cells “are important to fight infection and healing, but if you have too many of them, or they are in the wrong place, they can be harmful,” said study co-author Matthias Nahrendorf of the Harvard Medical School in Boston.

Doctors have long known that chronic stress leads to cardiovascular disease, but have not understood the mechanism. To find the link, Nahrendorf and a team studied 29 medical residents working in an intensive care unit.

Their work environment is considered a model for chronic stress exposure given the fast pace and heavy responsibility they carry for life-and-death decisions.

Comparing blood samples taken during work hours and off duty, as well as the results of stress perception questionnaires, the researchers found a link between stress and the immune system.

Particularly, they noticed stress activate bone marrow stem cells, which in turn triggered overproduction of white blood cells, also called leukocytes.

White blood cells, crucial in wound healing and fighting off infection, can turn against their host, with devastating consequences for people with diseases like atherosclerosis – a thickening of artery walls caused by a plaque buildup.

The study then moved on to mice, which were exposed to the rodent equivalent of stress through techniques like crowding and cage tilting. The team chose atherosclerosis-prone mice.

They found that excess white blood cells produced as a result of stress accumulated on the inside of arteries and boosted plaque growth.

“Here, they (the cells) release enzymes that soften the connective tissue and lead to disruption of the plaque,” said Nahrendorf.

“This is the typical cause of myocardial infarction (heart attack) and stroke.” He added leukocytes were only a part of the picture – factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, smoking and genetic traits also contribute to heart attack and stroke risk.

“Stress might push these over the brink,” the researcher told AFP. — AFP Relaxnews
