安全的家来自于ONVIA VEDO S1无线保安系统

身为两个孩子的妈，我非常重视居家安全。尤其是我和丈夫每天早出晚归，留下两个孩子和佣人在家时，说真的我时时刻刻都担心她们的安危。除了教好她们平常要常注意周边环境和人物，我们最近也安装家庭保安系统以防万一。

市场上有很多家庭保安系统，但是在我们一番研究过后，我们选择了来自韩国的ONVIA VEDO S1无线保安系统。

我们选择ONVIA VEDO S1无线保安系统除了因为它得到过无数奖项，提供一系列的功能之外，还被它很炫的设计深深吸引。ONVIA VEDO S1无线保安系统的主控制台有黑色或白色，将它摆在家里任何地方都很好看，除了有触动荧幕功能，它还可以摆在起居间充作防护沟通系统。

ONVIA VEDO S1无线保安系统很容易安装，我们只花了五分钟就安装好了。系统只是需要电话线就可以使用了。就算家里没电，它也可以继续操作十六个小时。如果电池寿命就快完了，我们会收到系统的电话通知。

我们可以设定最多五个紧急电话号码。孩子在家发生什么事情就可以使用遥控器的 ‘SOS’按钮第一时间联系我们。

另外，我们也可以选择性另加安装更多门口磁铁探测器 （六十马币），窗户磁铁探测器（七十马币）（最多可以另加安装到五十个磁铁探测器）。磁铁探测器使用AA电池，一般上可以耐八至十二个月，如果电池寿命就快完了，磁铁探测器会发出‘毕毕’声以警惕我们更换电池。

因为我家里有养狗狗，我们便废止了移动探测器的功能以免安全系统误响。

ONVIA VEDO S1无线保安系统配套里包括；

·         一个主控制台

·         两个遥控器

·         一个移动探测器

·         一个门口/窗户磁铁探测器

·         一个电源适配器

·         一本用户指南

我们可以在Securemart Puchong 购买到ONVIA VEDO S1无线保安系统，售价是六百五十九马币，他们还提供一年保证。

Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Essence Gives You Long-Lasting Hydration

Keeping our skin hydrated is vital to look healthy, vibrant and less wrinkles. I started using hydrating skincare every day since mid-20‘s. I have tried out many hydrating care products and one of my current favourite ones is Hada Labo's Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Essence.

I esp. like its sleek and user friendly dropper bottle

Hada Labo is the ideal hydrating skincare brand as it is committed to bringing the most advanced technology in hydrating skincare, they invests in continuous product innovation as well as research and development.

My Hada Labo Hydrating Skincare regime

Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Essence if formulated with Moist24™ Technology that provides 24 hours hydration and combines with 4 types of Hyaluronic Acid, this new hydrating essence moisture concentration is 3 times more than the hydrating lotion. It fully hydrates the skin from the surface of the skin to the inner layers of the skin.

Ingredients of Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Essence

Hada Labo Hydrating Essence contains active ingredients that have ability to form a natural water reservoir to continuously retain, lock and restore moisture in the skin. When paired together with Hada Labo's Hydrating Lotion, the skin is able to achieve a 30% moisture increase while at the same time maintain its hydrating power for more than 7 hours. In addition, the Hydrating Essence is also formulated with Hada Labo's High Performance Penetrating & Deep Moisturizing (HHP&M) technology. This technology helps to boost the skin’s ability to absorb the nutrients from the next skin care product you apply on your skin.

Many women do not have the habit of using essence. However by adding essence to your daily skincare regime (after lotion, before moisturizer), you can effectively treat the deeper layers of the epidermis. The usage of essence is highly recommended for those who have dry & dehydrated skin as the usage of essence will give you noticeable results. 

Suitable for all skin types, the Hydrating Essence is skin PH balanced and low irritant.  It is also free of alcohol, fragrances, colorant and mineral oil.

It is packed in dropper bottle

Directions for Use:

Use twice a day after Hada Labo Hydrating Lotion. Apply on palms and gently pat onto face until thoroughly absorbed. Opened product can last up to 6 months.

The texture is light and easy to absorb

Beautiful Tresses for The New Year by Daisuke Salon

New Year is approaching in few days’ time. With many New Year celebration parties around the corner, I have shopped a lot of new party clothes, new bags, new shoes and also prep my skin for that perfect party makeup. But what about my hair? I believe that beautiful tresses are very important in order to look great, don’t you agree? Hence, I visited my favourite hair salon, Daisuke Salonto have my hair makeover recently.

Oh My messy hair :(((

The experienced hair stylist, Daisuke-san advised me to have a haircut and dye for a change. Since I trusted his professionalism hence I have followed his advice and ready to be transformed. As usual, I was offered a complimentary cup of hot green tea while having my hair makeover.

I like how Daisuke-san trims my tresses, using his very unique and professional technique. After his detailed haircutting, my thick hair feels much lighter but they still look volumise and most importantly they look really edgy. I love my new hairstyles!

Then, Daisuke-san asked me what my favourite hair color is. I chose to dye my hair into ash-grey this time because I have never done any ash color previously. Daisuke san and his team checked my hair condition and advised that there are too many Red colors in my hairs (I dye my hair red a few times in this year) hence they need to bleach my hair first. Alright, it was my first time bleaching my hair and I felt a little bit nervous but excited because I know its gonna be awesome!

Daisuke-san instructed his assistants to wash my hair, and apply the chemical to bleach the lower part of my hair. They bleached it twice before Daisuke-san found that my hair was quite weak and he doesn’t want to damage my hair hence the bleach ended here. 

Following with hair dye and treatment, Daisuke-san blow dry my tresses and style it to perfection. The end result was superb. Although my tresses doesn’t look ash-gray but I believe with the next visit it will turn out the ash color that I really wanted. 

Tada! What a transformation I had hehehe. Love the hair style and colors a lot! 

If you are planning to have a hair makeover like me, please free yourselves for a day and be prepared coz the whole process is long. It took me around 5 hours to complete the hair makeover. However, don’t be alarm because we could enjoy ourselves with their Free wifi, magazines and comics while waiting there. I love the comforting music that they were playing on that day; I had truly enjoyed myself like a Queen in the VIP room.

Thank you Daisuke-san for making me looks fabulous again. After a few washes, my hair color has faded to becoming ash-brown color. I guess it’s time to make my next appointment to Daisuke salon for more.

Lastly, I would like to end this post with my short Interview with Daisuke-san;

Question: Could you please tell me more about your experience in hair industry?

Daisuke: I had experience in London before moved to Malaysia. Back then, I had a small hair salon inside my apartment. I thought I would be going to Hong Kong after London but I ended up relocated to Malaysia. We are open for the 4^thyears in Malaysia now, I like the weather in this country.

Question: What are the differences from Japanese customer VS Malaysian customer?

Daisuke: Japanese know what they want exactly. While Malaysian are not certain, and always ask advice /opinion from the stylist. Malaysian are also more open to new hair styles.

Question: How do you keep yourselves updated in hair industry?

Daisuke: I go back to Japan at least twice a year. During that time, I would visit local salons and supplier to know more on the latest products, and will also bring back the technology and technique.

[Movie] Detective Chinatown 电影《唐人街探案》

Thanks to mm2 Entertainment for the invitation to the premiere screening of Detective Chinatown at Cathay Cineplex , eCurve last night.

谢谢 mm2 Entertainment 的邀请，我们昨晚在Cathay Cineplex , eCurve观看了电影《唐人街探案》在马来西亚的首播。标榜着年度最有“泰度”的爆笑动作片，我想大家都对这部电影有所期待！事实上，我们蛮喜欢这部集合了动作，搞笑，和悬疑的电影。《唐人街探案》是由王宝强、刘昊然、佟丽娅、陈赫主演，首部在泰国取景的中国喜剧动作电影。大部分场景是在泰国曼谷的唐人街拍摄的。那里的风土人情和色彩让整部电影生色不少。

Detective Chinatown is an action packed comedy from the Producer of "Lost In Thailand". 

The storyline is:

A gifted boy Qin Feng and his second cousin Tang Ren known as "Chinatown No.1 Detective" are involved in a bizarre murder and become the main suspects. They have no choice but escape from the police to find the real crooks, however they need to solve the case in just 7 days. Everything seems to be impossible for them until…

电影故事内容：

影片以发生在泰国曼谷的一桩离奇命案拉开序幕，命案将多方势力卷入，在探寻事件真相的过程中发生了许多令人啼笑皆非的故事。天赋异禀的结巴少年“秦风”警校落榜，被姥姥遣送泰国找远房表舅——号称“唐人街第一神探”，实则“猥琐”大叔的“唐仁”散心。不想一夜花天酒地后，唐仁沦为离奇凶案嫌疑人，不得不和秦风亡命天涯……穷追不舍的警探——“疯狗”黄兰登；无敌幸运的警察——“草包”坤泰；穷凶极恶、阴差阳错的“匪帮三人组”；高深莫测的“唐人街教父”；“美艳风骚老板娘”……等悉数登场！七天！唐仁、秦风这对“欢喜冤家”、“天作之合”必须取长补短、同仇敌忾！他们能否在躲避警察追捕、匪帮追杀、黑帮围剿的同时，在短短 “七天”内，完成找到“失落的黄金”、查明“真凶”、为自己“洗清罪名”这些“逆天”的任务？

《唐人街探案》是陈思诚导演宏大IP构想的开端之作，“唐人街探案”将以系列的形式打造电影品牌，树立本土侦探组合形象。未来，“唐人街探案”将走向世界，将中国的“福尔摩斯”向海外推广，作为系列作品的第一部，《唐人街探案》的重要性也就不言而喻了。

影片集结了王宝强、刘昊然、佟丽娅、陈赫、肖央、小沈阳、马浴柯、赵英俊、桑平等众多以喜剧表演风格见长的实力派演员。其中97年小鲜肉刘昊然继《北京爱情故事》中的亮眼表现获得业界瞩目后，与王宝强搭档出演本片，力求突破。实力派演员阵容不仅是喜剧部分的质量保证，同时也是整部电影的良心保证。

《唐人街探案》即将在12月31日登陆大马，在这个元旦前夕弄喜您！呼吁大家不要错过这部喜剧动作电影。Detective Chinatown will be screening in Malaysia from 31th December 2015 onwards!
