HOMS Rehab Service, A Home Based Rehab Centre for Stroke and Bedridden Patients

Dear readers, I was recently invited to check out a newly opened hyperbaric oxygen therapy rehab centre in Malaysia, a sanctuary of hope and healing for stroke and bedridden patients and here’s sharing my thoughts about them with all of you here, hoping that this posting will benefit not only stroke and bedridden patients from across the globe, but to caregivers who are looking for such services for their loved ones as well.

Let me share with you my personal experience during the visit and the remarkable services that HOMS has to offer, each designed to aid recovery and restore a better quality of life. Basically, it is a bungalow turned into a rehab centre. From the moment I stepped foot into their state-of-the-art facility, I felt a wave of positivity washed over me.

HOMS is practically a home away from home. One of the things that struck me about HOMS was their warm and inviting atmosphere. From the friendly smiles that greeted me to the cozy waiting area, it felt more like visiting a family home than a medical facility.

The staff members at HOMS are not just healthcare professionals; they are compassionate individuals who go above and beyond to ensure every patient feels comfortable and cared for.

HOMS boasts cutting-edge technology and modern hyperbaric chambers that create the optimal environment for recovery. The hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers are spacious and meticulously maintained, offering a peaceful sanctuary during therapy sessions. The comfort and serenity of the chamber provided a sense of tranquility, allowing patients to relax and focus on their healing journey.

At HOMS, professionalism is the cornerstone of their practice. From the initial consultation to the personalized treatment plans, every step is executed with precision and expertise. The medical team at HOMS comprises highly skilled doctors, technicians, and therapists, each with a deep understanding of the unique needs of stroke and bedridden patients. Their seamless collaboration and coordinated effort created a sense of trust and confidence.

What makes HOMS truly stand out is their commitment to individualized treatment plans. They recognized that each patient’s journey is unique and tailor therapy sessions accordingly. Their specialized focus on stroke and bedridden patients allows them to fine-tune the hyperbaric oxygen therapy to address specific needs and promote targeted healing. The personalized attention and care provided a sense of empowerment to patients, where the experts understood each individual’s challenges.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is at the core of HOMS’ treatment approach, and its efficacy in aiding stroke and bedridden patients is nothing short of remarkable as per their patient’s testimonials. While I cannot disclose my actual conversation with their patients in respect of their privacy, but I can share with you that most of them could feel the positive effects of the therapy as it accelerated their healing process, reducing inflammation and stimulating tissue regeneration. I was informed that the increased oxygen supply not only boosted their energy levels, but it also enhanced their neurological function, improving overall cognitive and physiological well-being.

HOMS is a facility that goes beyond therapy. They recognizes that healing is not just physical but also emotional and mental. Alongside hyperbaric oxygen therapy, they offer a comprehensive range of rehabilitation services as well as counseling sessions to both patients and caregivers. These holistic services provide an all-encompassing approach to recovery, nurturing not only the body but also the mind and soul.

Living room, for caregivers to wait and chill while waiting for patients to undergo their session.

Homey room for patients and caregivers to stay overnight if the needs arise.

All rooms over here at HOMS are nothing but spacious and homey.

Bedrooms  are designed to cater to bedridden or patients who are using wheelchairs.

All restrooms are wheelchair accessible.

Patients and caregivers are welcome to use the kitchen area.

My visit to HOMS left nothing but a good, lasting impression. From the moment I walked through their doors, I knew that many lives was about to change for the better. The combination of their state-of-the-art facility, compassionate personnel, and individualized treatment plans has given stroke and bedridden patients a newfound hope and optimism. HOMS is not just a rehab centre; it is a beacon of light and a testament to the power of human resilience. If you or your loved one are seeking a place to help you improve the current health conditions , I wholeheartedly recommend HOMS – where recovery becomes a possible reality and a better quality of life awaits.

How to Choose a Freediving Instructor

How to choose a freediving instructor? Easy. Just choose a cute one and you’re good to go. Really? Just pick a cute one? Yes, yes. Just pick a cute one. I did that and I think I did pretty well.

Okay, that’s a joke, guys. Don’t do that. Don’t. Just don’t. Instead, try to get to know your future instructor well before you sign up for your freediving course, or any diving related courses for that matter. What makes a difference in your learning curve is not the certifying agency or the cheapest freediving package around, but the instructor.

Freediving is a sport that requires alot of training and guidance. You’ll be doing a lot of scary skills for the first time. You would want someone you can trust your life with to be with you during your course.You’ll need someone who can not only be your teacher, but also a buddy who can assure you and guide you well.

If you’re serious about learning to freedive, then you will need someone patient, and someone who can also be a lifelong friend and a mentor instead of someone who will ditch you the moment you’ve completed your course. If you’re anything like me and ended up with a money-making ‘touch&go’  instructors like that, you’ll find it extremely frustrating because you’re stuck there instead of continuing your education and improving your skills.

I have friends who are interested in freediving and they’re always asking me for recommendations for an instructor that offers cheap fees and stuff. They’re always asking me, which agency would be better, AIDA, Molchanovs, PADI, SSI etc.

And I always say the same thing. Don’t look at the fees. Don’t look at the agency. Look at the instructor. Pick an instructor that can be your buddy and your lifelong mentor and someone you’re comfortable with.

An instructor who is right for me doesn’t mean will be right for you. So, do abit of homework first before you commit yourselves to the course. Go with someone who can match your energy.

Say hi to Swen . He’s my freediving instructor whom I also see as a mentor. I kinda struck a lottery with this one. He’s a gem. I go from not really into freediving to loving it to bits.

How To Choose Suitable Upholstery Material For Your Sofa

Are you wondering how to choose the best suitable upholstery material for your sofa or furniture? Do you want to replace your old sofa cover? Or reupholster your current sofa to match your newly renovated home interior?

There are so many choices which makes it difficult to narrow down the best upholstery material for your furniture.

For an upfront advice, here are tips on:

How To Choose Suitable Upholstery Material For Your Sofa

  • Ease of Cleaning

Prioritise upholstery materials that are easy to clean when spills happen instead of ones like velvet upholstery which requires special cleaning techniques.

  • Maintenance and Treatment

Correctly knowing how to care for your sofa material will help maintain its durability. Different types of upholstery material may need different approaches to maintain them properly, so be sure to ask about right cleaning techniques and perform spot testing cleaning.

  • Placement

Will your sofa be used indoors at home, shop or office or on the patio? Will your sofa be placed in an air-conditioned room? Those factors can affect the choice of upholstery material because they can influence the fabric, which can be worn out from overexposure to direct sunlight, moisture, and other corrosive atmospheric conditions.

  • Durability

Evaluate how often the sofa is going to be used and by whom. If you are looking for a solution for high-traffic areas or families with small children, then go for durable fabric upholstery that can be cleaned easily and those that are durable enough for daily usage.

  • Style

Do pay close attention to the design and style of the furniture’s frame and select an upholstery material that reflects the style of the overall design of your space.

  • Users

Bear in mind who will be using the sofa. If you have furkids or small children at home, it’s best to choose durable fabrics that can withstand scratches and stains.

Bring the elements of personalization to your room with textured, and patterned fabric furniture upholstery that is representative of your design sense.

  • Interior Design

Opt for upholstery fabrics that complement the other colours and the theme of your decoration.

  • Cost

Consider your budget for the upholstery service. However, although luxury fabrics are more expensive at the outset, they provide cost saving because quality material can be used for longer, hence avoiding frequent replacements.

  • Microfiber Upholstery

Choose microfiber upholstery that is hypoallergenic especially if you have family members with asthma at home.

Ultimately, the upholstery for your sofa should be selected in a way that ensures ease of cleaning, proper maintenance, durable, the right signalling of style with the rest of your cushions and décor, the ability to accommodate the users of the sofa, suitability for the look of the room, and your budget. By analysing these factors, it is possible to pick a suitable upholstery material that satisfies a place’s aesthetic aims and suitable for practical living which fortifies both comfort and style in your room.

Consider Top Sofa Repair, they are a team of experienced sofa upholsterers with an upholstery shop in Ara Damansara, Selangor ready to assist you with this. Contact them by phone call, Whatsapp or drop us an email for more information on their upholstery services today.

My Thrilling Experience as a Safety Diver in Onshore Pool Freediving Competition 2023

Dear readers, it’s been awhile since I’ve last shared things with you, isn’t it? Well, things have been really busy on my side, but today I’m excited to share my enthralling journey as a Safety Diver with you.

If you have been following my social media; say…my Facebook, you would notice that I’ve recently volunteered in Onshore Pool Freediving Competition as a Safety Diver and I’ve shared tiny tidbits of my journey there, but here’s a lengthier version of it, so come and join me as share with you the empowering nature of this event that brings together freedivers from all walks of life, while ensuring their safety throughout the captivating competition.

One day before the competition; briefing, safety team’s scenario training and judges training. The training was to ensure we are well prepared for all possible scenarios and to prevent any preventable mishaps throughout the competition day.

As I arrived at the Arena Sukan indoor pool in the morning during the competition day, a wave of anticipation washed over me. Surrounded by a hubbub of energetic athletes, I couldn’t wait to begin my role as a Safety Diver. The atmosphere was electric, with each breath seemingly charged with excitement, fueling the participants’ determination to showcase their prowess.

Here’s Team FAM in action; the Safety Divers and the athletes. Yup. Freediving Adventure Malaysia sent representatives in the form of athletes and safety divers too this round.

One of the most rewarding aspects of being a Safety Diver is knowing that my teammates and I played a crucial role in the competition’s success.

We underwent extensive training, equipping us with the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure the athletes’ well-being, both physically and mentally.

As athletes prepared to perform, my heart raced in sync with theirs. Meticulously positioned at strategic points within the pool, my fellow Safety Divers and I remained vigilant, ready to assist in any situation. Our presence acted as a reassuring lifeline, instilling a sense of confidence and encouraging the competitors to push their boundaries.

The sheer diversity of freedivers participating instantly captivated me. From seasoned veterans to those dipping their toes into this captivating sport for the first time, every individual exuded incredible courage and resilience. Witnessing these incredible humans, empowered by their unwavering determination, was awe-inspiring.

With one of the freediving athletes that I was assigned to do safety for today; Azua Shafii , during STA discipline.

Adam Lau on the other hand, was assigned to take care of her during her DYN performance. She’s very well known in the FD community as a very prolific athlete in Malaysia. Her achievements are really inspiring, and I look forward to seeing her perform in competition again. I’m not sure what the future will bring , but maybe we will cross paths again some day, since I’ve decided that I’ll still volunteer as a safety diver in freediving competitions in the future.

As a Safety Diver, I had the privilege of giving moral support to competitors prior to their session, offering words of encouragement as they showcased their breath-holding prowess. Here’s a picture of yours truly with Team FAM’s athlete, Mabel Lee.

Mable Lee is the most positive, easygoing and the most cheerful athlete ever. Super friendly and the best to cuddle with. I was assigned to be her safety diver during the STA discipline session at the Onshore Pool Freediving Competition. She did really well for this discipline and I am super happy and proud of her.

Not only she did well in STA discipline, but she managed to break her personal best record as well for the DYN discipline as well. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing her in more competitions in the near future.

The enthusiasm was contagious, uniting us all in a shared celebration of personal growth and achievement. Here’s yours truly with her freediving schoolmates, Team FAM at Onshore Pool Freediving Competition; the athletes, the safety team and our emotional support buddies.

There was no greater joy than witnessing the adrenaline-fueled smiles on their faces, knowing we played a part in their triumphant experience.

The Onshore Pool Freediving Competition not only serves as a platform for participants to challenge themselves physically but also offers valuable opportunities to connect with like-minded adventurers. The camaraderie that bloomed between athletes, Safety Divers, and the audience was truly heartwarming.

Whether mingling by the poolside or swapping tales of underwater conquests, the shared passion for freediving united us all. Countless friendships were forged, forming an invaluable support network that will undoubtedly continue to empower each individual in their future freediving endeavors.

As the competition drew to a close, my heart swelled with pride and happiness. Here’s Ms.Amy Cheng from Onshore Mermaid presenting me a certificate of participation as a token of appreciation for volunteering. A moment that truly warms my heart. Again, I never expected anything in return for volunteering, not even acknowledgments. All I wanted was just to give back to the freediving community while gaining precious experiences along the way. But it is certainly nice to be appreciated this way. The freediving community is definitely on another level.

The memories created, the bonds formed, and the unwavering spirit of those who took part left an indelible mark on my soul. Being a part of this exhilarating event has not only empowered the freedivers, but it has also empowered me to embrace my own personal obstacles, fostering a newfound belief in my abilities.

The Onshore Pool Freediving Competition held at Kuala Lumpur’s Arena Sukan pool is a celebration of empowerment, bringing together individuals from all walks of life and unleashing their true potential. As a Safety Diver, I couldn’t be prouder to have played a role in this empowering journey.

One for the album. As we continue to dive headfirst into life’s challenges, let us always remember the empowering spirit that comes with pushing our boundaries and supporting one another along the way. Let us be inspired by the remarkable triumphs witnessed amidst the thrilling competition.
