Test drive anyone?

Hi everyone! It's going to be a brand new year in few days, are you guys excited? I'm pretty excited as I can already feel 2015 is going to be a bigger & better year! I guess most of my old readers who started reading my blog since young are graduating from college/uni already, am I right?

Anyway, anyone of you is interested to join me for a test drive with the New Ford Fiesta 1.0L Ecoboost? 

If you haven’t heard of it, the New Ford Fiesta 1.0L Ecoboost is powered by the triple award winning International Engine of the Year (2012, 2013 & 2014) which comprises of a 3-cylinder turbo charged engine paired with the Powershift ® six speed automatic transmissions. One of the smallest yet most powerful engines in its class, you can enjoy a smooth ride with power and acceleration at 125ps and 170 Nm. You will be surprised how this fuel efficient 1.0L engine only uses 5.3L/100km. Fuel-saving and speed; you got the best of both worlds with the New Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost! On top of that, it is also fitted with 7 airbags all around to also ensure a safe and smooth ride.

To top it up with the already attractive features, the new Ford Fiesta 1.0L Ecoboost boasts upgraded smart technologies, including the hands-free in-car connectivity system Ford SYNC™. This is a really cool feature because for a music lover like me, the car can easily recognize my voice and I can just command the car to play songs from my phone or even my iPod! And you definitely want to keep your hands off from your phone when you’re driving; Ford SYNC definitely comes in handy for hands-free calling.

The Smart Keyless Entry on Ford Fiesta adds so much convenience to people like me, who’s always looking for car key in my bag, which is full of other stuff. Now you don’t need a key to open the car door, instead by just standing next to it and press on the button on the door handle; press on the Push Button Start to start the engine and off you go!

Don't you love the Fiesta 1.0L Ecoboost in bright red? Stylish in a sporty full body kit, fitted with Daytime Running Lights, Auto Headlamps and Auto Rain Sensor for a chic and safety ride in the city.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST BOWL OF MAGGI (in 3 minutes)

To be honest, I'm a huge fan of Maggi. I once tweet about my best combi “breakfast” is actually Maggi and a cup of Milo few years back and it is still my fav. I could say my fav flavor goes to Asam Laksa but I also like the others like curry/tomyam/chicken flavor.

It is not that I want to be so thick-face but I seriously think that I cook the best maggi (soup ones); I never really like people cooking my maggi cuz I think they can't do the taste I wanted, except for my mom, she does it how I likes it #momsthebest

So here's my secret to cook the best bowl of maggi in 3 minutes.

I'm cooking a new flavor today, Maggi Royale – Penang Seafood Curry.

 For me, my maggi couldn't be complete without an egg. I'll actually go to neighbour to get eggs if I am eager to have a bowl of maggi but I don't have eggs lol.

Usually how I do is, I use my bowl to measure how much soup I want, I like my soup to taste thick so just pour a little more water to estimate that it will evaporate. Also, I uses hot water cuz I want it to boil fast.

THIS IS AWESOMENESS. 

See how big pack is the chili paste, also comes with cremer and prawn flavoring. Yums.

Put everything in when it started to boil.

So when to add the egg? Right after you feel the noodle is less hard and starting to soften. I just leave my egg at the side and continue cook my maggi.

Close the fire when you can feel the noodles are still bouncy. Noodles that are too soft will just kill the whole bowl.

And here you go, my ideal bowl of Maggi.

Look at the egg yolk *droolllll. Sorry for being full of my maggi lolll.

Soup is just nice.

Btw, I'm really impressed with this Penang Seafood Curry flavor. I think I did a great job cooking it cuz it taste like it came from penang or maybe its just Maggi did a great job on the flavor #asalways. I'm so gonna try the next one flavour in the Maggi Royale range, the Maggi Royale Korean Spicy Braised Beef! Any suggestion what should I add in? Kimchi???

You guys should really try the new Maggi Royale range too!

I am giving away 10 gift packs to my readers – drop a comment in the comment box telling me what is your preferred way to cook Maggi; the first 10 comments will win the gift pack! Dont forget to leave ur email and contact deets!

Good luck :)

Why you should study abroad.

"You thought you've seen the world, until you came off the roof." Not sure whether you understand this, mainly it means that this world is so big, there's many things to be discovered, to be inspired. Which explains why I love travelling, I love getting inspired with people and their lifestyles.

I love talking to friends who graduated abroad and came back with great stories. It is true that people who studied abroad always come back will different mindset, and mostly, they're so inspired by the cultures and lifestyle they had in that specific countries. 

As you grow up, you tend to realise things, want matters and what not. Let me tell you something, something I think that people, especially kids who just grown into adults have to learn, is that we only had a chance to live this life and what matters most isn't how to "survive" through this life but the memories you create. Like my lucky friends who get to study aboard, they had so much great memories, it makes me jealous! Well at least when they get old, they get to tell interesting stories to their children!

I really wish I had the chance to study abroad. If you're considering whether you should go abroad or just stay in the same place, please, please take the chance. I can guarantee you will never regret even if it's hard to cope with a new life at the beginning. Have you heard of something like "Take the opportunity and figure it out after that." Yes, that's how you gonna make great memories.

Don't limit yourself because you are afraid. The only thing we wouldn't want to regret in life is the time we wasted, the time we couldn't travel back to.

Anyway, if you're interested or you have no idea where to go, maybe you can think about New Zealand, watch this :

WHY NEW ZEALAND?

1. New Zealand is a safe & peaceful country yet an exciting country.

Even though New Zealand is not a big country but it's very well-known for great outdoors, adventure, cultural activities and friendly welcoming people. You can study during the week and choose activities like bungy jumping, skiing, hiking, rafting, or exploring local culture in your free time.

2. New Zealand offers International recognition of courses and degrees.

New Zealand qualifications are of a high quality and have a reputation around the world for being practical, modern and desired. All courses, programs and qualifications offered by New Zealand institutions are quality assured by the New Zealand government. Major employers around the world recognize New Zealand qualifications and employ New Zealand graduates.

3. Opportunity to settle permanently in New Zealand 

If you complete your course successfully, you automatically get a 12 months 'Work Permit' under the student visa policy. In most instances this permit will be done at your institution itself. This allows you to work full time in any job of your choice. However if you want to get a New Zealand Permanent Residency (PR), then you have to find a job that is relevant to the course that you have completed. Eg: If you have completed a course in IT, then you have to find a job as a programmer, analyst, etc. This will immediately give you a 2 years work permit with all rights like free medical, etc. Upon receiving this 2 years work permit then you can apply for PR and normally will get it within 5-6 months. If you do not find a job that is relevant to your course, you can continue to work in any job for 12 months and try and recover some of the investment you have made towards your study in NZ. You will that way end up by recovering a bulk of the fees you have paid and also end up with an international experience There are plenty of jobs in NZ, and while it may not be easy to get one, if you are good enough, you will easily get one.

Libresse been a good friend of mine since years, can't even remember when was the first time I blogged about it. Oh time flies so fast, I think they became a part of my life, just like I'm growing up with them. Or maybe they are growing with me too! Just last month, they introduced two new products - Libresse® Maxi Night Secure and Libresse® Longer and Wider CurveFitTM Liner, perfectly carter to different woman needs.

As you know, leakage is one of the biggest problems most girls have (almost 1 out of 5 girls face leakage problems!). Libresse improved the body contour design for all range of products to enhance the absorption, by introducing the newly improved Deep Flow Channels (DFC)™, which incorporates a more compressed area at the back to keep fluid away from the skin for better dryness and new wider core for greater absorption. Unique and innovative, the enhanced features prevent side leakages and promise the most comfortable fit from day to night!

Libresse® Maxi Night Secure 

Studies have shown that 50% of the night sanitary pads users experienced leakage from the back of pads (Source: Innoscreen Ipsos 2013). The Libresse® Maxi Night Secure was invented to solve this problem by providing ultimate comfort with a new wider back for additional security, all night long! Available in both Unscented and Odor Control with Green Tea range 

Libresse® Longer and Wider CurveFitTM Liner
Designed to follow the natural shape and curves of a woman’s body. Its soft and pliable middle, wider front as well as a longer 17.5cm length helps keep you comfortable all day with the right fit that stays in place every time.

Libresse® products are designed anatomically to fit the body with its patented technology and trademarked design – Secure Fit™ and the newly improved Deep Flow Channels (DFC)™. Both features work hand-in-hand to achieve Libresse’s concept of ‘Absorption is Nothing Without Fit’. A registered trademark of SCA Hygiene, Secure Fit™ features a wider front to keep pads securely in place, a narrow neck and a split design at the rear to fit the delicate contours of your body. Not forgetting, Libresse® sanitary pads are easy to wash before disposal.

In conjunction with the release of Libresse® Maxi Night Secure and Libresse® Longer and Wider CurveFitTM Liner, LIBRESSE® THE HUNT were organised and the event kick-started on 7 October 2014 with a series of teaser and clues which were release via www.thehunt.my for the curious public to find a missing briefcase.

The campaign ran for three consecutive weeks with different clues provided each week, which eventually lead the public in finding the answers of the content of the briefcase. The campaign reached its peak on 28th October 2014, when the online winners of LIBRESSE® THE HUNT were invited to spent the afternoon with Adibah Noor and Fahrin Ahmad:

The Top 8 Secret Agent!

The afternoon was also filled with interesting activities and fun games, hosted by the two awesome celebrity. The media were also invited to witness the unveiling of the new improved and enhanced product.

I'm really glad that Libresse is always improving and being innovative to consumers, which is why I am always with them. The new products are available at most hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenient stores, pharmacies, mini markets and provision shops throughout Malaysia.

Libresse® Unscented range are retailed from RM2.95 to RM14.90 whilst the Odor Control with Green Tea range between RM3.30 to RM15.90.

MY EVERYDAY SKINCARE ROUTINE

I've been blogging a lot about skin care these past few years and I always believe that keeping good skin is more important than putting on make up. I am the kind of person who will invest in skin care products, even my cosmetics are skin-care based. 

Anyway, a lot of people have been asking about my skin care routine on my previous make up tutorial so I decided to do a really quick one.

To be honest, my skin care routine is really really simple, the only fancy thing is this cleansing brush from Clinique. The Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush is gentle yet reacts greatly to the skin. It doesn’t cause wrinkles and my skin feels smooth to the touch after every usage. You can watch my vlog below to see how gentle it is.

I didn't know about the rave surrounding this cleansing brush until I got my hands on it. This really made me feel like I've wasted my life hand washing for nothing. I mean hand washing is more like cleansing the surface but there are areas on our face that our hands couldn't reach. This Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush does the magic. I can see my skin literally glows and brightens almost immediately after I have washed my face with the cleansing brush. I'm not exaggerating but I'm really amazed by how it works!

I noticed one of the biggest difference after using this brush is that I have reduced the need for painful extraction because my face is cleansed thoroughly. It is recommended that you start off with just 30 seconds once a day and then prepare your skin to be able to use the product twice a day - like how I am using it.

Sleek design, just fits perfectly on the palms. 

Comes with a cap to cover the brush.

The Cleansing Brush comes in two different bristles

I really love that this cleansing brush has two coloured bristles which target different areas of the face. The white bristles are effective in helping me cleanse my cheeks area. It’s gentle and perfect for sweeping away dulling flakes on my skin. This is as thorough as it gets!

The green bristles on the other hand is angled to specifically target hard-to-reach areas like the inner corners of my nose which can be quite difficult to cleanse thoroughly with my bare hands. But with the help of the green bristles, I’m able to cleanse all these nooks and crannies of my face effectively.

One charge can lasts up to 72hours!

If in your normal skin care routine you didn't do your cleansing right, you're actually wasting your other skincare products. When your face is thoroughly cleansed, it can then absorb the rest of the skin care products better. I’ve also noticed there are fewer residues after washing my face, especially when I try wiping off dirt with my toner after cleansing.

Left: Cleansing my face without the Cleansing Brush. Right: Cleansing with the Clinique Sonic Brush. Dirt residues are less noticeable after face cleansing.

Btw, you don't even need to scrub weekly with this gentle daily exfoliation. Saves you all the time and hassle!

Frankly, it's a really great product & worth investing in as it comes with a 2 years limited warranty. The unit consists of the Cleansing Brush retailing at RM350 (USB variant) while the brush head is at RM93 per unit.

I'm definitely gonna buy it for my mom as an early Xmas pressie. Afterall, great things are meant to be shared, right?

That being said, I’ll be having a Meet and Greet session in collaboration with Clinique on 13^th Dec 2014 and only 5 lucky winners along with a friend will be chosen to attend and win exclusive Clinique door gifts. Just answer this question: The Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush comes with two coloured bristles, namely….

Sony Xperia Z3.

It's been a while since I’ve had a hands-on experience with a new gadget! I'm really excited for this one as it has been on my wishlist for some time - the Sony Xperia Z3. I found out about the Sony Xperia Z series smartphones from my fav instagrammer/social media/makeup artist from Thailand, Pearypie. She has many cool stuff and I think she did a pretty great job introducing the Sony Xperia Z series.

credits to @pearypie

Yes, the Sony Xperia Z3 is famous for its waterproof and camera functions. If I could keep the phone, I would really want to do an underwater photoshoot with it :( It's so so so cool! If I'm not wrong, many celebrities have done underwater photoshoots with this phone. How amazing is that? Apple, y u no do waterproof phone?!?!

The Sony Xperia Z3 features a super clear HD camera with 20.7 megapixels. I don't know how any other phone will be able to beat Sony? Sony always produces the best cameras (cuz I own a few Sony cameras lol)

The Sony Xperia Z3 is actually well known for its super long lasting battery life. Powered by a non-removable Li-Ion 3100 mAh battery, featuring up to 740hr (3G standby mode) and 16hr (3G talk time).

Btw, the Sony Z series family now includes the Sony Xperia Z3 and Sony Xperia Z3 Compact just like the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. No offence, I personally love the design of the Sony Xperia Z3 compared to the iPhone 6 :/ Anyway, I would say that this Sony Xperia Z3 completely beats the iPhone 6 because of functions like the waterproof smartphone, great camera features and long-life battery. So much wins. For more info about the Sony Xperia Z3, please visit:

My contact lenses.

One thing I can't live without is my contact lenses. I've been wearing them since 13 and its already been 9 years (still counting). In these 9 years, I've tried various brands of contact lens, from the ones sold in optical shops and the ones from the internet. I sort of ditched the ones from optical shops cuz I think the one sold on internet has more choices but now, I don't wear those sold online or outside optical shops anymore cuz I think that those unauthorized ones are actually very dangerous. What if one day something happen to my eye and the online shop went dissapear. I know I sound a little contradicting cuz I once model for some online contact lens shop few years back, luckily there was no problem with the lenses but still, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Anyway, there's a lot people asking me what brand I'm using now on my instagram. The past month I was introduced with a new color lens series, Lacelle by Bausch + Lomb. Yes, Bausch + Lomb is famous for their super breathable lenses so I'm really glad they have this series launched!

Lacelle comes in two series : 

Limbal series, comes in modest black and tender brown.
Color series, available in jubilee violet, sparkling brown and frozen grey.

My favourtie ones goes to Tender Brown and Sparkling Brown.

Tender brown that I wear it daily, very natural. Looks good with light make up too!

Sparkling brown! I think with this lens you can actually ditch the make up part lol. It's really beautiful!

Also tried on Jubilee Voilet, suitable for special occasions and parties.

All Lacelle lens are made with unique lace pattern enhance your eyes beautifully, with comfort. I love how they mataches my everyday look as I want my eyes to look fashionable as what I wore too, heh.
