One of the key highlights at the fair is the Reduction of Recommended Retail Price (RRP) of Bedding Products. This is made possible by the strengthening of Malaysia currency along with the support and collaborations from their business partners/suppliers, coupled with lower cost for imported finished goods and raw materials. Hence, greater savings are passed to the customers in the form of much reduced recommended retail price (RRP).

[Resort World Genting] Aaron Crow “Fearless! Cheating Death Nightly”

WARNING! Alert! Do not read this post if you are a chicken guy! 

So 2 weekends ago my girl and I headed to Resorts World Genting to watch the most extraordinary and creepiest magic show.  Among the must-see shows at Resorts World Genting this year is “Fearless! Cheating Death Nightly” that features “mystician” Aaron Crow whose one-of-a-kind performance never fails to wow his audience.

With his fusion of magic, suspense, risky stunts and mystery, Aaron had captured the attention of a crowd without uttering a single word. His unmatched power and eloquent silence has long since become his onstage trademark, always leaving his audience at the edge of their seats and longing for more.

Often described as mental artiste extraordinaire or silent mentalist, the Belgian has impressed even the likes of Simon Cowell, and is well-decorated—he was ranked first at the World Championships of Magic, the largest competition of its kind that is held every three years. There, he battled against 150 other world renowned acts in front of a crowd of 2,500 people.

Among Aaron's other international achievements were winning World Champion Mentalism at the 2003 Den Haag XXII World Championships and winning the Wizard Trophy (Phenomenon category) last year.

Dubbed Belgium's foremost international television sensation, Aaron has also appeared in numerous TV and gala shows including the popular “Le Plus Grand Cabaret Du Monde” that featured his Candle and Sword act a whopping three times. Aaron has also appeared in the biggest TV shows in the world and was recently featured in Broadway New York, London West End and the iconic Sydney Opera House. He also enjoyed millions of hits on Youtube.

At Resorts World Genting, Aaron's “Fearless! Cheating Death Nightly” promises to deliver his unique brand of magic and mystery. The show will be held at the Genting International Showroom daily from 18 March to 15 May 2016, 9pm; with matinee show at 4pm.

Expect an evening of highly original, heart-stopping, thrilling and truly spectacular acts that will leave them at the edge of their seats throughout. In fact, my girl felt a bit scary at first but we were totally amazed with Aaron's entertaining performance! Thanks for bringing us a World class performance!

Theme of Overcoming Fear

It can be said that Aaron was born to be a magician. At the age of 12, he was presented a book on the iconic Harry Houdini where he found out that one of Houdini’s well-known acts involved swallowing needles. Coincidence or not, Aaron himself had an early encounter with needles—he was rushed to a hospital with a needle stuck in his throat at the age of three. But it was his encounter with a mouse that crawled on his back while he was in bed when he was five that first inspired him—it made him think about fears and how people overcome them.

Aaron’s appearance on the smash hit TV show “Britain’s Got Talent” wowed both the audience and judges. Even the infamous and dreaded Simon Cowell commented, “That’s a great act. I love the idea of watching something where there is a possibility that someone could actually die.” And during his live show performance, Aaron even trended worldwide on Twitter.

“Fearless! Cheating Death Nightly” features a positive theme—facing and overcoming our fears. Aaron sees himself as a “warrior with a mission.” “We can all overcome our fears, we can all become stronger. The time is now; a new year, a new you, a fearless you,” he says.

His most popular acts are “Supravision,” possibly the most spectacular blindfold act in the world, “Bowman” which is an unseen combination of bravery and love that will touch you, and “The Final Bullet” in which Aaron attempts to catch a signed bullet shot at 300 Bar from a paintball machine gun. Highly original and authentic, his routines are performed in silence with the exception of some spine-tingling eerie music in the background.

Tickets for “Fearless! Cheating Death Nightly” (Genting International Showroom from 18 March to 15 May, 8pm and 4pm) are priced at RM78 (PS2), RM98 (PS1) and RM118 (VIP).

[养生篇]燕王燕窝

大家好，我们都知道马来西亚生产燕窝。我们从小就食燕窩，因为它适合一家大小食用。

燕王燕窝

而中國人食燕窩可追溯至唐朝，據悉唐代女皇帝武則天經常食用燕窩養顏，繼後歷宗元迄明清，燕窩入饌之風在上流社會間始終不絕，而正列宮延御膳則由明代開始，當時東南亞附近之小國進貢天朝皇帝珍品，其中不乏極品頂級燕窩，順理成章被譽為「貢燕」或「官燕」。

明代李時珍所撰之【本草綱目】對「燕窩」已有較詳細敘述：「閩之遠海近番處，有燕名金絲……蠶螺背上內有兩肋如楓蠶絲，堅潔而白，食之可補虛損，已勞痢。故此燕食之內化而肋子化，並津液嘔出，結為小窩附石上。久之，與小雛鼓翼而飛，海人依時拾之，故曰：『燕窩』。

燕窝主要分为两类；

1. 屋燕:
燕子将燕巢筑于特设的屋子里, 屋顶用木材建造, 室内环境依照天然山洞气温, 光暗度及干湿度建筑而成, 平均温度为28°C - 30°C, 湿度约 89°C - 90°C, 潮湿阴暗。燕子早上飞离燕屋到野外觅食至黄昏时分才回到燕屋。因为栖息环境较好, 燕窝中杂质及羽毛较少及干净, 形状较完整, 似船型或匙羹形。

2. 洞燕:
野生洞燕产自远离民居的海岛, 燕子巢筑于岩洞及悬崖上, 燕子主要在大海中觅食海藻及浮游生物等。每年採燕窝2-3次, 所以产量较少。野生洞燕含丰富的矿物质, 形状呈窝形, 较厚身, 炖后口感丰富味道香浓, 被业界推崇为全世界最好的燕窝。 

最近我的朋友介绍我燕王燕窝品牌。他们的加工程序完全依据国际食品认证(HACCP、GMP、VHM及ISO 22000：2005) 进行，确保每批燕窝加工过程中，都符合国际食品卫生标准。从刷除燕窝杂质、研磨、挑毛、定型、风干、检验、包装、甚至燕窝品质管理都经过严密的专业管理，不容出现一丝差错。不但如此，它也适合回教徒食用，因为它Halal certified, GMP + HACC。 

燕王燕窝有干燕窝和即刻品尝包装。我喜欢既食包装因为省时间和很容易食用。所以我购买了他们的八罐既食冰糖泡参燕窝，售价是 RM 179 。

我通常在睡前或一睡醒后食用，因为空肚子更容易吸收燕窝的养分。

我喜欢燕王燕窝天然纯正的味道，没有添加任何色素和调味料。

他们家华丽的包装绝对适合送礼给家人，亲戚好友或公司送礼。 

随着双亲节的到临，燕王燕窝从四月二十日到六月二十日进行促销活动；

1）随购买一盒干燕窝，第二盒享有二十巴仙折扣。

2）随购买一盒既食燕窝，第二盒享有三十巴仙折扣。

New! Rohto® Cool Eye Drops

I am a big supporter of Rohto® Lycee Eye Drops since it launched in Japan few years back. Since then, I always buy tons of Rohto® Eye Drops when I travel to Japan. Good news to us, we no longer need to “borong” from Japan this March 2016 onwards.

Rohto®, the number-one global eye care brand has officially launched Cool Eye Drops in Malaysia, yay! Rohto® Cool Eye Drops comes with a unique cooling formula that provides you with an instant cooling sensation which soon fades to be replaced by a totally refreshing feeling for your eyes. Unlike other variants of eye drops that are available off-the-shelf, the cooling formula aids in producing more natural tears that help to soothe your eyes and reduce eye fatigue by increasing perceived image clarity.

Rohto® Cool Eye Drops was launched at Proof Café @ Sky Lounge, The Signature KL

In this digitally-inclined era, people spend long hours in front of computers, laptops, TVs and mobile devices which eventually lead to strained and dry-eyes. Not only the growing reliance on digital devices strains our eyes, eye irritation also stems from environmental irritants like smoke, dust, haze and air condition which further contribute to more conditions ranging from simple to complex. Hence, you may want to consider finding ways to give your weary eyes a break, or simply instil a few droplets of Rohto® eye drops to effectively retain moisture as well as to provide soothing relief for dry, irritated eyes. 

“At Rohto®, we believe that developing a daily eye care routine is essential for everyone, especially in the technology-driven society whereby we are always on-the-go, with long hours in front of computers, TVs and mobile devices, and other environmental irritants, contributing to more incidents of eye fatigue. We constantly drive to deliver the best to our customers. In this case, we are really excited to introduce Rohto® Cool Eye Drops to the Malaysian market. With its unique cooling relief properties, the eye drop is an effective solution and the perfect addition to your daily eye care regime,” said Ms. Lim Mei Yuen, General Manager of Rohto-Mentholatum.

Rohto® ensures consistent safety and quality through strong governance and compliance to applicable regulations and standards. Rohto® Cool Eye Drops and other variants are carefully formulated by eye care specialists in full compliance with FDA’s over-the counter Ophthalmic Drug Products Monograph, manufactured under Goods Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and ISO 13485 standard guidelines to ensure the product is safe and effective for minor eye irritations or dryness.

Each ingredient is filtered and sterilized, from the bottle to the cap and nozzle through gamma sterilization or electron beam sterilization. The process from filling to packing is fully automated and conducted by machines to ensure complete product hygiene. It uses HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter for air-conditioning during the manufacturing process, under a controlled environment (ISO 14644 Grade A) whereby the classification of the air cleanliness in the surrounding vicinity is at the highest standard of safety and quality.

Rohto® Cooling Eye Drops are available in 3 variants, which cater to the varying needs of eye care.

Back to the Mother Nature @ The Haven Ipoh

If you ask my girls what was the most fun activity we had during last school holiday, their answer would be our stay-cation at The Haven Ipoh. In fact, I have been hearing about this wonderful Mother Nature place and I was glad I brought my family there last month. Situated at Tambun, Ipoh, Perak, it took us around 3 hours’ drive from KL to The Haven Ipoh on a busy Saturday noon.

Once we arrived, we were amazed with the tight securities at The Haven Ipoh. We need to pass 2 guard houses in order to enter the boundary of The Haven Ipoh. There were ample car parks available be in open air or multi-level car parks.

The Check-in was fast and easy, and we were allocated to Tower B.

There are 3 towers at The Haven Ipoh, namely Acacia, Banyan and Cycas. We were given two key cards to access the lift and our unit.

Once opened the door, we jump for joy because we were so happy with our large and bright 3-bedrooms apartment unit.

The unit has a classy interior with designers’ furniture and Electrolux brand electrical items. It has full range of equipment for example safe deposit box, iron and board, weighing machine, hair dryer, microwave, fridge, kettle, TV, Wi-Fi, and many others.

The view from the balcony was fantastic, pristine natural lake, 200 million years old site, primary forest, Jogging tracks, and the swimming pools. The nature area was breezy and a great place to enjoy fresh air, without worry about mosquitoes cause there’s absolutely no mosquitoes from day to night. 

While the kids were having fun playing LEGO in the living room, I took an enjoyable bath in the bathtub before heading to Cuisine poolside bar and restaurant for our dinner. Cuisine poolside bar and restaurant has a very nice ambient, while offer no MSG food which is good for health. Diner could choose from local, Asian, Western and Mediterranean Lebanese food from their menu. There’s also a live band on that night, such relaxing night we had.

After breakfast at the Premiere Restaurant the next day, we took a walk around the lakeside.

There, we saw butterflies, birds, monkeys, big ants, and fishes. Oh, there’s also a Dinosaur statue at the lakeside which my younger girl was so afraid of lol.

After the walk, we proceeded to check out the Clubhouse. The clubhouse offers numerous amenities, such as gym, table-tennis, badminton court, squash court and changing room. We found the Indoor children’s playroom and outdoor playground around block C where the kids had fun playing there.

People said save the best for last. We had fun time at the spectacular specially designed and trademarked 60-metre Seahorse-shaped Swimming pool that has a Leisure pool, lap pool, Jacuzzi pool, children pool and infant pool. I and my hubby enjoyed our swim there and my girls were crazy over the children pool which has slides, Jacuzzi and others.

Last but not least, we had a chance to meet the CEO of The Haven Sdn Bhd, Mr. Peter Chan before we checked out. He told us that they had made a lot of effort to protect the Mother Nature and numerous trees and plants have been planted to further enhance the site and improve the air quality. The eco-friendly resort provides pristine air with natural airflow.

If you're into rest and relax, seeking peace and quietness, The Haven is definitely an ideal place to stay. Hubby and I already planning to invest in this Multi Award-winning development and Five-star Eco Resort in Perak for our retirement plan.
