Kronenbourg 1664 Media Appreciation Night

Over the past few months that I've been exposed to plenty of events and being the non-beer drinker that I was, I've gotten used to drinking a glass of ice cold beer and not to mention, I am beginning to like it too!



Last Wednesday was Kronenbourg 1664's Media Appreciation Night at The Library, Midvalley. So, I made my way there to hang out with my bunch of MHB babes and gentlemen. Despite being busy most of the time, I make it a point to socialize at least once a week so that I don't go insane!


Linora & Mei Sze


Michelle, Ashley, Josiah & Chrystal

I've never really been to the upper floor of The Library before and that night was my first. The place was packed with medias of all kind and I saw plenty of familiar faces whom I met at Where's the Party? by Carlsberg.


Me & Raj


Naomi & I

I was treated to a delicious buffet spread, free flow of ice cold Kronenbourg 1664, and most of all, a fun filled night with the people that I know.


Us with Soren

It was indeed a relaxing fun night :D

Like drops of Turqoise candy :D

Told myself way earlier that I needed new colors for my nails! Like, bright colors. The only bright color I have is barbie pink. Remember my post years ago? Here.

So, during the weekend, I went to Elianto at Midvalley to get myself some brand new colors. However, I only found one interesting color, which was Turqoise.



I am not promoting Elianto actually but I usually get my polishes from them. They are reasonably purse friendly at RM5 a bottle. Their colors are pretty but they don't last.



What I do is I paint 3 coats of color, followed by 1 coat of transparent polish.



I am not the kind who splurge on nail polishes. So if you want to opt for a longer lasting nail polish color, go try OPI instead. Only if you don't change your nail color frequently or else, opt for cheaper ones like what I do coz I change my nail color all the time! OPI may be expensive, but probably very worth your purchase.



I got this remover from Sasa not long ago and I really like it! Especially the smell. It actually smells like Pina Colada which reminds me alot of being by the beach.

[Advertorial] Head to toe rejuvenating experience at Advanced Beauty Slimming Centre

I recently took a trip down to IOI Boulevard in Puchong as I was invited to Advanced Beauty Slimming Centre for an awesome head to toe rejuvenating experience! .

IOI Boulevard is a really nice place to chill out after work because they've got pretty decent cafes and restaurants around where you can sip on a decent brew and read the newspapers while you wait for the rush hour traffic to subside.

I was greeted by the staff upon entering Advanced Beauty. The two lovely ladies were friendly and polite while the lounge area was so comfortable that I was immediately impressed.



After confirming my appointment, I was escorted inside where I was given a comfy pair of spa slippers to change into while they got my locker ready for me to keep my belongings.

Bear in mind that this is going to be a long post but trust me, it is really WORTH reading about my whole experience. As I was going to have 5 hours worth of detoxing, pampering, facial-ing, massaging, showering and slimming treatment, I eagerly anticipated being transformed from a caterpillar turned into a beautiful butterfly by the end of the day.

As this is a slimming centre, no photos were allowed inside so I'll have to make do with the photos I managed to take in between treatments and some pictures are provided by the outlet coz I couldn't take them as I was in the midst of the treatment. So, I will best describe everything as accurately as possible for you to visualize. Hahahahahaha!

So my first treatment began with their Incredible Spa Treatment (1 1/2 hours) worth RM848.

I had an amazing FULL BODY SEA SALT SCRUB. This is a gentle full body scrub to exfoliate and to rid off all oily particles that are on my skin. It also hastens cellular metabolism, hydrates my skin instantly to make it look more supple, delicate and brightened.

Once I was done with the full body sea scrub, my beautician then got me ready for my LED STEAM BATH. I was cling wrapped tightly from my lower chest all the way down to my legs. This PER PART SLIMMING WRAPPING is part of their Signature Slimming Treatment (1 1/2 hours) worth RM1216. After I was fully wrapped, I was then escorted into their Steam Bath room where I relaxed. Their LED Steam Bath is more like a sauna, but much better. I sat on one of their benches and had a facial towel covering my nose, which helped me breathe properly amidst the steam coming out from the steaming vent once in a while. The difference between sauna and this is that this allows you to breathe and isn't as hot and stuffy as a sauna. I pretty much felt comfortable for the whole of 30mins and I made a friend in there too. The whole point of the LED Steam Bath is to help my body go through a full detox where I just sweat it all out. Imagine everything dirty from inside your body, came flowing out and out and out and before I knew it, it was the end of 30mins already and I was ushered out. I felt instantly refreshed after I stepped out of the steam bath room. It was like, my body told me it woke up and felt absolutely fresh!

It was then time to head to another room to experience their INFRARED THERMAL BLANKET which is also part of their Signature Slimming Treatment. Here, I was wrapped with the thermal blanket like a newborn baby. I managed to ask one of the beautician to take a picture of this process.



Tadah! Although a thermal blanket sounds suffocating to the body, it isn't! The temperature was just nice, light music playing in the background and trust me, I almost fell asleep! This treatment is to increase ATP energy in fats and muscle and to convert fats into free fatty acid where the body needs much less energy to drain them out. Toxins are also drained by going through with this process. All in all, this is the final detox process for my body where everything is being cleansed.

After another half an hour, I went for my bath. Perfect timing because I felt absolutely dirty! It has been such a long time since I've sweat like that and really, it just felt oh-so-good to wash off all the toxins that came out of my body! After I stepped out of the shower, I went to have my hair dried.



They provide pretty much everything a girl needs after a satisfying shower. New fluffy towel. Hair dryer! and an awesome cup of warm Ginger Tea! I absolutely love their ginger tea. No idea why. I naturally dislike ginger, but the tea was really nice. It gave my body a calm and soothing effect after drinking it.



Once I've done with my hair, it was time for my FULL BODY RELAXING MASSAGE given by a genuine Thai lady! This is part of the Incredible Spa Treatment for a duration of 1hour. I've never really gone for a massage before so this was my first! I've heard about the lack in authenticity of spa places before. I'd say the best is to have genuine masseurs who are from the place the massage was named. I think by the end of the massage, my body was freed of all tension. More like the lady went through a war with my body to free off all my knots to give me a knot free-body at the end of it and I am thankful for that because my shoulder was killing me for as long as I can remember!



You know what I love most in a beauty centre? The most that I anticipate? The facial! The extraction, where the beautician extracts all my black and whiteheads! I absolutely love going through that because I don't feel any pain. In fact, I always almost fall asleep. Weird, I know! So after my body massage, I was then attended by the beautician for my Ultimate Skin Rejuvenation Facial Treatment worth RM1198.

For this treatment, I got all these! Scalp Massage, Amino Cleanse,Arwa Derma Deep Cleanse, Extraction, Eye Brow Trimming, Face Serum, Enzyme Mask, Ultrasound Face, Eyes, Neck (Octolift), Face, Eyes, Neck Massage, Face, Eyes, Neck Soft Mask, Hand, Leg, Should Massage, Derma Tone (Toner), Bio Essence, Face Serum, Eye Care, Neck Care, Soothing Cream, Moisturizer, Sunblock. The best part was the ULTRASOUND FACE, EYES AND NECK (OCTOLIFT) because it tones the face. It actually makes the face firmer and shapes the jaw line. I had a look at half of my face before I went through the ultrasound and after because the beautician proved to me by only having half my face done first and gave me a peek at the mirror to see the differences and really, my jaw line was sharper after it was being done!

During my facial treatment I was also experiencing LIFT BF (German Machine) at the same time where I was massaged by air bubbles from my upper body to my legs. This is the final part of the Signature Slimming Treatment where it helps to improve my arterial and venous micro circulation in between fat cells, speed up my metabolic rate, tones up sagging and atrophic muscles, and to also smooth connective tissues.

The beautician later finished off with sunblock and I was done! A whole 5 hours top to toe all in one slimming experience I've never had before and truthfully, I felt all refreshed!

Malaysia's Hottest Bloggers' 1st Anniversary Party @ Bakita

Malaysia's Hottest Bloggers turns ONE this month! Instead of celebrating once, we will be celebrating every chance we get. So buckle em boots, this month will be filled with parties!



So, for our first celebration we had MHB's birthday-do at Bakita, along Changkat Bukit Bintang. Timmo (founder of MHB) treated us with 32 pints of Kronenbourg, some of Bakita's delicious dishes on a buffet spread, and we also had a bottle of Skyy Vodka courtesy of Bakita!

Baby & I


MHB babe Naomi & Andy (MHB's one and only official photographer)


Andrea who is MHB babe Stacey's (middle) friend & I

Instead of a usual birthday-do filled with drinks & boogy-ing on the dance floor, we had an amazing chill out time on the deck of Bakita's alfresco dining area and were mesmerized by Zlwin Chew, who is the ambassador magician for Zouk. He did his "abrakadabra" on some of the girls, and they were so thrown over by his magical powers to combine two polo mints into one!


Zylwin doing his thang on the girls



Also, it was Donovan's birthday and was surprised when his cake was brought out. Once again, a very happy birthday to you. Live life to the fullest, I know you will. :D



Towards the end, Zlwin did a little magic trick for both Baby & I. Again, he did one of his "abrakadabra" moves and the card that both baby & I chose became one. That was the whole point of his couple magic trick, to make 2 different cards into 1! How on earth....


Malaysia's Hottest Bloggers with the owner of Bakita

It was probably one of the best night I've ever had with all my MHB babes (and gentlemen). We were all there to have a great time. Till the next party, stay tuned!!

It is dirtier than you think!

It's not always the 'restaurant food' that causes stomach distress. Sometimes 'what you don't know *will* hurt you'!

This is an email forwarded to me, and I've decided to share it because I believe sometimes we need to be reminded of what we don't realize.

Mom got so upset when guests came in the door and plopped their handbags down on the counter where she was cooking or setting up food. She always said that handbags are really dirty, because of where they have been.

It's something just about every woman carries with them. While we may know what's inside our handbags, do you have any idea what's on the outside? Women carry handbags everywhere; from the office to public toilets to the floor of the car. Most women won't be caught without their handbags, but did you ever stop to think about where your handbag goes during the day.

'I drive a school bus, so my handbag has been on the floor of the bus a lot,' says one woman. 'On! The floor of my car, and in toilets.'

'I put my handbag in grocery shopping carts and on the floor of the toilet,' says another woman 'and of course in my home which should be clean.'

We decided to find out if handbags harbour a lot of bacteria. We learned how to test them at Nelson Laboratories, and then we set out to test the average woman's handbag.

Most women told us they didn't stop to think about what was on the bottom of their handbag. Most said at home they usually set their handbags on top of kitchen tables and counters where food is prepared. Most of the ladies we talked to told us they wouldn't be surprised if their handbags were at least a little bit dirty.

*It turns out handbags are so surprisingly dirty, even the microbiologist who tested them was shocked.*

Microbiologist Amy Karen of Nelson Labs says nearly all of the handbags tested were not only high in bacteria, but high in harmful kinds of bacteria.

Pseudomonas can cause eye infections staphylococcus aurous can cause serious skin infections and salmonella and e-coli found on the handbags could make people very sick.

In one sampling, four of five handbags tested positive for salmonella, and that's not the worst of it. 'There is faecal contamination on the handbags' says Amy. Leather or vinyl handbags tended to be cleaner than cloth handbags, and lifestyle seemed to play a role.

People with kids tended to have dirtier handbags than those without, with one exception.

The handbag of one single woman who frequented nightclubs had one of the worst contamination of all. 'Some type of faeces, or possibly vomit' says Amy.

*So the moral of this story is that your handbag won't kill you, but it does have the potential to make you very sick if you keep it on places where you eat. Use hooks to hang your handbag at home and in toilets, and don't put it on your desk, a restaurant table, or on your kitchen counter top.*

Experts say you should think of your handbag the same way you would a pair of shoes. 'If you think about putting a pair of shoes on your counter tops, that's the same thing you're doing when you put your handbag on the counter tops.'

Your handbag has gone where individuals before you have walked, sat, sneezed, coughed, spat, urinated, emptied bowels, etc!



Do you really want to bring that home with you?

The microbiologists at Nelson also said cleaning a handbag will help. Wash cloth handbags and use leather cleaner to clean the bottom of leather handbags.

Veron's 24th Birthday Bash at Sultan Lounge @ Mandarin Oriental

Ben's @ Pavilion KL

Baby & I recently stumbled upon Ben's at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.

We were there for a movie night out. Larry Crowne if I am not mistaken. Really good show. Anyways, we were looking for a place to have our dinner before the show and I wanted to try Ben's because I saw a picture of it on one of the "what's at Pavilion" sign.



Upon entering Ben's, it was as if we were transported into a home. The place was decorated really nicely. Plush sofas, quirky decorations such as this humongous floor lamp, nostalgic photos in thick border frames all over their contemporary brick walls, warm lighting all around...and it actually reminded me of our home.



It was close to 10pm when we were there and for a restaurant to be that packed, means the food is good and people love hanging out there. We saw plenty of after working hour crowd, enjoying late dinner with colleagues, friends celebrating at a birthday event, family dining with their loved ones, and foreigners just chilling.



If you must know, Ben's is part of the BIG GROUP which also brought you Ben's General Food Store, Plan B, T Forty Two and Canoodling.



We had a look at their menu. It was actually pretty impressive as they have soft shell crabs with all sorts. Like pasta, rice, salad..dishes you usually don't find at other restaurants. They have pretty much everything I love to eat there and it was difficult for me to decide what to eat.



I finally chose Crispy Duck Confit Spaghettini at RM22.90 because the only one I've ever tried was at Delicious and so far that is the best because I've not tasted others before.



They are extremely generous with their portion. I still can't compare with the one I had at Delicious because they both tasted pretty different. Except that I would say Ben's duck confit was really delicious. The texture of the duck was very tender and it was oozing with flavour. For those who love aglio oglio will find this to be quite tasty. Although it is mostly tossed in olive oil and topped with rockets.



Baby opted for Ben's Cheeseburger priced at RM23.90. It came with REAL SESAME SEED BUN, unlike other restaurants where they top the burgers with lame sesame seed bun. Although I did not take a picture of it, these were real black sesames. Baby said the burger was good. I took a bite of it but I forgot how it tasted but I remembered it being good.



Pavilion is not a place we often visit but if we do, we FINALLY found a place worthy of dinning. Why I said FINALLY? Well, because every time we are at Pavilion, we would take hours to look for a place to dine and 10 out of 10 times we were there, we ended up at the food court or at Friday's. So this time, we were pretty satisfied with our visit to Pavilion. :D
