Since I permed my hair in February this year, I found that the hair ends have become really dry and looks awfully damaged at times when I don’t apply enough hair serum. Also, I found that I tend to lose a lot of hair, especially so when washing. Also, my scalp tends to get oily [...]

Hassle with MyEG Services

by Penny on September 7, 2010

I’ve always been a pro-online shopper, and I’ve extended it from merely physical item shopping to financial services too. I do banking online whenever I can skip going to the banks and even get my car and life insurance quotes online if I can do so, provided they are not more expensive.
Last year I purchased [...]

My opinion on IKEA’s office furniture

by Penny on July 15, 2010

Most of us shop at IKEA at one point or another, whether it’s to buy furniture pieces or small items like tea light candles, plastic bag holders or even bed sheet sets. Have you tried IKEA’s office furniture?
Well I have and I have to say they are quite nice and durable. Years ago when I [...]

I was in Bukit Tinggi in Klang today and dropped by at AEON Bukit Tinggi Shopping Centre for lunch. It’s my first time there and I must say I’m impressed. It’s a really huge mall with ample parking space. There are both outdoor and indoor parking spaces and I didn’t have any trouble looking for [...]

If you enjoy nutritious and clear soups, one place that I would like to recommend is The Zun Express at Mid Valley. The Zun Express is part of the Eu Yan Sang group and they are located right next to Eu Yan Sang shop on the lower ground floor of The Gardens, Mid Valley.
The restaurant [...]

Recently I received a book as a birthday gift, and I started reading it immediately although I have many unfinished books at the same time. The title of the book is catchy and interesting, so I started right away. It’s a book by Leil Lowndes called How To Talk To Anyone, 92 Little Tricks for [...]

Yesterday I had lunch with a friend at Oriental Maju Palace. We ordered dim sum as they are famous for their dim sum dishes. We’ve been there a couple of times now but I kept forgetting to write about it. And oh, sorry no pictures to show because the food was always so irristible that [...]

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 way to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Elomet sure works wonders for eczema

by Penny on February 21, 2010

I met with a friend yesterday and we talked about our kids and came to learn that both our boys suffer from mild eczema problems once in a while. They have sensitive skin that reacts almost instantly to heat and even touch sometimes.
Then we talked about what works well to curb the condition and I [...]

Anyone likes Hada-Labo skincare products?

by Penny on 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 [...]

John King egg tarts

by Penny on January 21, 2010

I know John King has been around for quite a while now, but I only tried them just some 2 months back. I was told that the normal egg tarts and the durian tarts are hot items. So I tried them both. But I didn’t find them to be that exceptional. I’ve had better and [...]

Last week I had some matters to settle with Maxis and I called the customer service line. I wasn’t expecting much but when the person came on the line and greeted me, she sounded so friendly, casual and relaxed that it actually helped to put me in a relaxed mood too.

When talking with her, she [...]

Crazy about pan mee

by Penny on January 21, 2010

Lately I haven’t been doing much food or restaurant reviews. The truth is that I haven’t been bringing my camera with me when we go out, so there are no pictures to show even though the places I tried are pretty good. And as you know, a picture paints a thousand words, so I thought [...]

Review of Botani Olive Hand Cream

by Penny on January 21, 2010

This is a long overdue review of the Botani range of products. I’ve written some before (reviews of cleanser and a repair cream) and this last installment of the Botani products I’m going to touch on the Olive Hand Cream. I must say that I don’t usually use hand creams. I normally would just use general moisturisers or lotions [...]
