Heard of the Herbal Life juice program?

March 25, 2010

I’ve heard quite a lot about Herbal Life as a weight loss program as well as a multi-level marketing business. At one point, I used to see people walking about the streets in the heart of KL, adorning a badge that read “Lose weight now, ask me how”. I have to say it’s a pretty [...]

Ninja Joe pork burgers at Tropicana City Mall

March 25, 2010

I happen to be at Tropicana City Mall one afternoon looking for a decent place for a quick bite at lunch time. Then I came across a small burger outlet called Ninja Joe. Ninja Joe serves pork burgers so it is definitely non-halal. No other burgers if you are hoping for more variety.

The travel bug bites

March 16, 2010

For a while now I’ve been very tempted to plan for a getaway. Whether it’s a local one or one to some place far out of the country, it doesn’t matter. Of course it’s best if it’s to some place I’ve never been before.
With Air Asia having so many promotions offering cheap tickets, it’s sometimes [...]

How does the impending GST affect your shopping?

March 13, 2010

Have you thought about how the impending implementation of the goods and services tax (GST) will affect your shopping or spending habits? Suddenly the price of things will be increased by 4% of tax, and that is assuming the price of the item itself does not increase in price. I shudder to think how much [...]

March 4, 2010

I’ve been told that a term life insurance policy is one of the most expensive types of insurance policies around. Do correct me if I’m wrong as I’ve not asked for or don’t remember getting any term life insurance quotes before.
But a few months ago I learned that I’m actually eligible to take up a [...]

Melt-in-the-mouth pineapple tarts from Lavender Cake Shop

February 27, 2010

During the Chinese New Year period we were in Johor Bahru and we got some pineapple tarts and Chinese cookies from Lavender Cake Shop. I have to admit that in the beginning I wasn’t much of a fan. The only thing that caught my eyes were the nice packaging of the products. They come in [...]

Review of Asience Shampoo Deep Nourish and Asience Treatment

February 27, 2010

Since the hair care brand Asience came to our shores quite a while back, I’ve never tried using it. It didn’t really appeal to me then. Recently I was looking for a different brand and I thought of giving Asience a try since I’ve tried most of the brands on the shelves. And I love [...]

Where do you buy your Chinese New Year cookies?

February 21, 2010

Every year I just never know where to find great Chinese New Year cakes, cookies, snacks and those arrow roots crisps. All I do is just buy from stalls at the shopping malls and hope that they turn out nice.

But some of our friends actually have theirs specially ordered and they’re all apparently home-made. I [...]

Where can you buy gold coins?

February 21, 2010

I was just wondering where you can get gold bullion or just simple gold coins other than from banks. The ones at gold smith shops aren’t very nice either, I find them a bit too traditional looking if you know what I mean.
The reason I ask is because I’ve always thought that gold coins are [...]

February 21, 2010

I was recently going to replenish my Vichy Aqualia Thermal Fortifying & Soothing Hydrating Concentrate (read the review of the facial essence here) when I suddenly had the itch to try out some other brand called Hada-Labo. I’ve never used it before but what attracted me to it is that it’s a Japanese product. I [...]
