Innovation that Matters to You by Philips Malaysia

Hello everyone!

When I first heard about the 'Innovation that Matters to You' contest by Philips Malaysia, I was pretty amused by their concept of "Contribute One Idea. Improve Many Lives".

Some of you might be questioning now, and wondering how can us improve many lives by just contributing ideas? I mean, sometimes we do have some ideas, but how are they going to change our lives? How does it work?

This is the first time ever, that I've seen such meaningful contest and this is definitely a breakthrough project in Malaysia. Let's give a big round of applause for Philips Malaysia.

We have always wanted to live in a safer city and healthier home, but the thing is that, we have never started any move yet to contribute to the society. It's your time to do something.

Like what the Philips Malaysia website said, 

"Great things can happen when people and sheer imagination come together to produce solutions for modern living. Your innovative ideas can help Malaysians everywhere live in safer cities and healthier homes! Learn how you can make a difference. What are your ideas for building safer cities and healthier homes?"

Not only that, Philips appreciate all the ideas that you contribute. Your ideas will not be left unrewarded. Everyone who submits an idea will stand a chance to win these awesome prizes:

Wonder how this works?

So what are you waiting for? I've contributed my ideas, have you?

Wish me luck!

Mentos x Cintai Malaysia

I believe that most of us had a beautiful lovely childhood memories with Mentos.
Mentos has always been my favorite candy, it's crunchy and fresh on the outside but
chewy on the side, leaving an irresistible texture. Whenever I bring my Mentos roll to classes, I'll pass around my friends and share with them, and almost every time, they will finish up the whole roll.
This clearly show how people love Mentos.

I would like to share a good news for all the Mentos fans out there! 

Mentos Roll's "Cintai Malaysia Contest" will be running from 15th October 2013 to 15th January 2014 in collaboration with Tourism Malaysia's 2014 Visit Malaysia promotion.

The participating flavours include Mint, Air Action, Mintensity, Secret, Rainbow, Fruit, Mix Grape and Sour Mix. My favorite would be 'Mix Grape' and Sour Mix.
They taste so good and I carry a roll of Mentos with me everyday to keep me alert during class.

Have anyone tried out 'Secret' flavour before?

'Secret' sounds really interesting right? And it's limited edition too.
This is my first time trying it as I don't usually see this flavour on the market. Well, I'm not going to reveal the taste here. No spoiler alert.

Mentos, the "Stay Fresh" candy now gives you the opportunity to refresh your soul with eight island holidays in Malaysia and daily prizes worth RM130,000.

Beauty 13 Expo

Hello, readers! 

Last two days ago, I've attended the Beauty 13 Expo, thanks Arisa for the invite!

 Beauty 13 Expo is definitely one of the most anticipated event for all the beauty products lovers. 

It is held from 4th of October 2013 till 7th October 2013 at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. 

In case if you don't know what Beauty 13 Expo is all about, here a brief introduction:

Beauty 13 Expo is the 13th Presentation of Southeast Asia's Largest Expo and it is the trade platform for Beauty and Therapeutic Professionals. The exhibition spreads over 10,000 square meter of floor space at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center, with over 500 specialists from 23 countries gathered to showcase the vest of their premier products. With an array of over 10,000 products on display from not only the local companies but the international exhibitors, including the Singapore, Korea and Taiwan country pavilions, visitors were truly spoilt for choice.

I've been wanting to attend the Beauty Expo since years ago, but I couldn't find a chance to do so. 

I don't want to miss out this year's expo, hence I quickly rushed to KLCC after finishing my Law class.

They have done a great job in putting effort to easy visitor's sourcing needs for specific related products by dividing the exhibition halls into have product-based zones. These five zones cover every aspect of beauty from head to toe. The five zones are comprised of Beauty Salon Spa & Wellness, Hair Products & Equipments, Nail Products & Tools, Packaging, Contract, Manufacturing & Private Labeling an Make-Up Education.

At first I thought that there will not have much people since it's the last day of the exhibition, but I was wrong, I'm surprised to see the large crowd of people. Besides that, everyone were trying so hard to bargain with the promoters for amazing deals.

I was tempted to buy some masks since they're having incredible sales for masks clearance. It's only RM2 for each mask and we're entitled to get a free mask with every purchase of five masks.

However, I didn't buy at last due to there is not much choices left *sobz*

Overall, it's a great experience for me, I had fun trying out the samples and meeting new people. 

Looking forward to attend another beauty expo next year!

That's all for today.
