Malaysia say 'no friendly' to Indonesia
KUALA LUMPUR: For a change, the national football team get to say no to others. For years, Malaysia found it hard to get teams to play international friendlies against them due to the country's low world ranking. But this time, the FA of Malaysia (FAM) has reportedly turned down an invitation from the Indonesia FA (PSSI). Indonesian media reported PSSI president Erick Thohir as saying that their proposal to have a friendly with Harimau Malaya in September was turned down by FAM. "We have long missed playing against Malaysia. One opportunity was during the Fifa window in September. We extended an invitation to Malaysia. "However, perhaps the Malaysia senior team have other considerations as they are currently in the process of strengthening the squad," said Erick. He said fans, too, are eager to see a clash between these Southeast Asian rivals, who have not faced each other for some time. Their last meeting was four years ago with Indonesia beating Malaysia 4-1 in an AFF Cup match. FAM secretary-general Datuk Noor Azman Rahman confirmed that Malaysia had rejected the PSSI invitation as national head coach Peter Cklamovski has other plans for Harimau Malaya.

In Greenhills, Hashi Pan-Asian serves food that's almost like a honeymoon of flavors
There are chapters in your family's love story that deserve more than buffet lines and dim lighting. We were going to celebrate my grandparents' platinum wedding anniversary (yes, 72 years like a long-running K-drama plot) and my parents' sapphire one so we wanted a place that felt familiar with the kind of quiet charm that befits the steadiness of my loved ones' relationships. Then I found out about Hashi Pan-Asian Restaurant on the 3rd floor of Greenhills Mall. A quick look at the menu shows majority of the dishes are Japanese-inspired, Hashi also offers Vietnamese, Thai, and Chinese selections. Don't get fooled by the wood and marble interiors that feel like an upscale dining area of a posh hotel. Each dish is quite affordable and offers bang for the buck. Hashi's aesthetic quietly beckons to families who prefer intimate celebrations to Gen Z professionals who bask in the quiet elegance that modern restaurants offer. Owner Frederick 'Erick' Tuazon, a visionary who splits his time between Sweden and the Philippines, launched the flagship restaurant in Venice Grand Canal Mall in 2017. Its expansion into Greenhills, a dynamic food district, was a strategic move. 'We wanted each location to carry a thematic identity, ambiance and menu should work together. Greenhills gave us that opportunity,' Erick says. A Culinary Vow Renewal From the first plate served, our celebration being lunch and became a full-on culinary reception. Moving forward intentionally Erick isn't here for the flash. 'One to two branches per year,' he said of his expansion plans as 'I care about consistency.' Just like any lasting marriage, he knows that longevity isn't about speed, it's about showing up with consistency, and this is how he treats his business. 'I don't want 30 or 40 locations where guests can't expect the same experience. I want our guests to return and find the exact same quality, flavor, and service they fell in love with,' he added. So, whether you're celebrating decades of marriage or simply craving something soulful, drive to Greenhills and let Hashi Pan-Asian Restaurant remind you what coming home tastes like. — LA, GMA Integrated News Hashi Pan-Asian 3/F Greenhills Mall, San Juan. +63285110725

Exclusive - Worship Khanna talks about his tattoos; says 'Each holds a special place'
Actor Worship Khanna, who has been a part of shows like Kumkum Bhagya , Meri Doli Mere Angana, and Ishq Subhan Allah; web series like Hello Jee and Coldd Lassi Aur Chicken Masala; and will soon be seen in the upcoming show Pati Brahmachari, has three tattoos on his body. While his first ink is dedicated to his nephew, the second to his work, and the third to his mother. Talking about them, he said, 'The first tattoo, Erick Khanna, is on my wrist. It's my nephew's name. His school name is Aduit, but I gave him the home name Erick. My name is in English, and I wanted to give him something that sounded classy and rich, and thus named him Erick. Now he loves this name so much that he even says, 'Change my school name to Erick!' I love him a lot, and I'm very emotionally attached to him. That's why I got his name tattooed on my wrist, a place close to my heart. ' 'The second tattoo is on my back. This tattoo has a deep meaning too. It shows wings going towards the sky. In the center, there's a big red star, and around it, it says, 'My Work is Worship.' This is something I believe in. The star in the middle represents my dream—to become a star. The wings show that I want to fly high and touch the sky. There are also small glitter-like stars spread around it, which for me represent the celebration we feel when we win an award like an Oscar. It's like a burst of joy, a moment of success. One day, I want to shine bright and receive a big award. That's what this tattoo reminds me of,' he added. His third tattoo is on his chest, and he said it is very close to his heart. He said, 'It says 'Matru Devo Bhava,' which means 'Mother is God. I believe that in this world, before anything else, a mother comes first. I got this tattoo done as a gift for my mother on Mother's Day.' Worship confessed that though tattoos are painful, it didn't matter to him as he dedicated them to those he loves deeply. Talking about the tattoo dedicated to his mother, he added, 'I wanted to see that happiness on my mother's face, and I did. That joy made me forget all the pain of the tattoo process.' Many people do not prefer god/goddess tattoos on their bodies, but Worship doesn't have a problem with it, as he feels that the body is a gift from God. He said, 'Some people like to get pictures of gods inked on their bodies, and some don't. For me, our body is a temple. It is a gift from God, our parents, and nature. We must take care of it and treat it with respect. I personally believe God should live inside our hearts, not just on our skin. Everyone has their own way of thinking, and that's okay.' Any plans to get tattoos in the future? 'I don't have any plans for a new tattoo. But tattoos are very personal. They come from sudden thoughts and deep feelings. Maybe I won't get a new tattoo in the next few years, or maybe I'll get one tomorrow. Who knows? But I do have an idea for my next tattoo,' he said. 'I want it to be something grounded and rooted, yet full of dreams. I'm thinking of getting a bicycle with wings. It will mean that even though I stay grounded, I dream of flying high. I haven't finalized the design yet, but once I find the perfect one, I'll definitely get it done,' Worship ended.
