Macalister Mansion by Ministry of Design

I have a split personality when it comes to design. While part of me is enamored with the clean lines of modernity, another is drawn to bling like a magpie. Danish midcentury or Rococo, Italian contemporary or Baroque - there's no way I could choose. The tricky part comes with trying to incorporate both the modern and the ornate in one space, which is why I'm so blown away by Malaysia's Macalister Mansion.

As a member of Design Hotels, the Macalister Mansion stands out for its mix of architectural styles. Along with owners Dato Sean and Datin Karen, Singapore firm Ministry of Design took on the renovation of this 100-year-old colonial mansion, both preserving the original characteristics of the building and creating a thoroughly modern and whimsical boutique hotel.

    give you a quick heads up! Other then that, great blog!

  6. Did not thought about this until now :)Garcinia Cambogia
    Extract prevents the pancreas from breaking down starch into maltose and dextrin.
    It also stops the production of alpha-amylase enzymes in the overall body.
    Medical doctors sometimes suggest this to their people who are diabetes sufferers because the Garcinia Cambogia stops the development of alpha-glucosidase located in the colon from
    changing disaccharides and starches into glucose.
    Garcinia Cambogia benefits also inhibits glucose and carbohydrate food from turning into undesired fats by
    preventing the growth of citrate lyase. Some health professionals use Garcinia as a laxative to help with constipation or other well-being
    functions such as fat burning, stress relief, depressive disorders, mood swings and as a support to getting a good night rest.
