  • timer or alarm
  • quiet place to relax

      Taking a power nap doesn't have to be complicated. First, recognize that you're tired. Frequent yawning, stretching and lack of focus can be signs that you need a power nap.
    • 2
      Find a quiet place. It may be your car, an unscheduled conference room (get permission if necessary), or anywhere that you can relax and get to sleep quickly. Set a timer or alarm for 20 minutes. Spend 5 minutes relaxing.
    • 3
      Start by clearing your mind of the rest of the day's agenda. Don't think about the meeting you have in an hour, the work on your desk, or whatever is ahead of you. Instead, take slow deep breaths in and exhales out. As you do, think only about sleeping. Allow your body to relax by tightening each muscle from head to toe.

      By the time you get to your toes, you should be starting to fall asleep. Let it come, enjoy the rest and see how much a power nap can help you complete the rest of YOUR day!


Take a power nap to boost your productivity! :)
Happy napping!

Causes

You must be the change you wish to see in the world - Mahatma Ghandi
We need your help to make the change. A little passion of yours can make the difference. So join the English Language Club to create a cause and make the change in this campus. We have a few ideas, you decide which one you like best and let us know alright we will ty our best to run it.


NO FACEBOOK DAY
Well not precisely one day but three. Try not to log in to Facebook these three days and see what you did with all the free time you have. We will have a gathering to share all the things we can do other than staying in front of the computer screen facing the blue and white page.



A CAUSE AGAINST ANIMAL CRUELTY
Any pet lovers here? Even if you don't keep pets, I don't think anyone can bear seeing animals being tortured. They to have senses and feelings. If human can't bear being tortured, why should they?

30 Hour Famine
Hungry for a cause. 16000 children die of hunger everyday. By going through 30 hours without solid food you can give them a better life, more importantly hope. Join us in this cause and let us take you on a journey beyond language, hope.

Save paper, save the Earth
Well, we don't have to cancels all exams to save papers. The papers we spend on events promotions are more than all the test and exams add together.


A penny saved is a penny earned
Many of us scholars complain that RM 500.00 is not enough. Whenever we need to buy something we normally spend excessively and starve for the rest of the month. So why not save RM 2 a day and by the end of the month you would have RM 60 already.



Choose your favourite cause and let us know. The poll is just located at the right side of the page.
