Shopping for Teacher’s Day Gifts in S&J Gift Shop

It’s that time of the year again. What time of the year, you ask me? Well, Teacher’s Day and Mother’s Day, of course. It’s time to hunt for gifts for kiddo’s teachers as a token of appreciation. Wouldn’t want kid to feel embarrassed for not having any gifts for his teacher during their Teacher Day celebration in school.

Did not know where to go to get gifts actually, but I’ve always wanted to check out Alamanda Putrajaya whenever I go to Putrajaya for events and shoots but never had the opportunity to do so. And so…last weekend, I decided to check it out. And lucky me…I stumbled upon S&J. It is a shop specialized in selling trinkets and plenty of gifts.

I was definitely spoiled for choices in S&J Giftshop. plenty of things sold here that tickles me fancy, ranging from soft toys to accessories and small trinkets like fanciful keychains. They even have cute traveling bags. Awesome, huh?

Finally bought this for kiddo’s teacher. It’s a tablet traveling cover in bright red with a Eifel Tower keychain. you see, kiddo is a special need kid and been in a special need program for quite some time now. Instead of books, the students there used iPad instead, and having seen that his teacher doesn’t have any sleeve for her iPad… I thought it would be perfect for his lovely teacher.

I’m completely hopeleas at wrapping. Fortunately for me, S&J provides guft wrapping service. Phewwwww…what a huge relief! That will save me from nasty paper cuts. I’ve always been clumsy when it comes to artful stuff like this.

So I got kiddo to choose some gift wrapper and ribbons.

And handed the items we bought to the girl in charge of wrapping.

Here’s the gifts, ready for teacher And the cost for everything including the gift wrapping service? Merely RM30. Quite reasonable price to pay. I usually burn more money for Teacher’s Day gift every year.

A surprise for me from my boy

It’s huge! Wonder what is it? Can you guess what my boy got for me while I was busy choosing gifts for his teacher? It huge! And pretty soft. Hmmm…wonder if it is soft toys? Can’t wait for Mother’s Day to unwrap my gift.

Spin and win contest spotted at the counter. Ohhhhh…with just some purchase you can actually win some prizes. Wow…a trip for two to Nagoya! That sounds awesome, isn’t it? I’m gonna give it a try. Never been to Nagoya before and I bet it would be an amazing experience.

Anyway…once you have made your purchaes, don’t forget to apply for membership for discounts, points and privileges.

And should you buy anything for your mothers or teachers from S&J, don’t forget to share on instagram with hashtag #dearestday. Plenty of surprises awaits you. :)S&J have 17 outlets now with more than 5000 gifts in a single shop for you to choose from. Cool, huh? Here’s what’s even cooler, they have a voucher for you to use for this upcoming Teacher’s and Mother’s Day.

The code is A005.Make use of it folks, and have a blast shopping!

Ephyra, The Best Collagen Drink I’ve Tried

Ephyra is a collagen-based antioxidant drink, the most delicious, in the form of sachets made from natural ingredients (L-Glutathione, Astaxanthin, Acai Berry, AcerollaCeri, Marigold Flower Extract, Gum Acacia, Superberi & Tomato powder) that treat, renew and further enhances inner and outer health.

There are loads of collagen products out there, but EPHYRA has gained a place in the hearts of thousands of loyal users. So why EPHYRA is different from the others in the market? Well, for one, EPHYRA uses marine collagen from “white fish” which live in the deep sea. Reason being: deep-sea fish are free of contamination. EPHYRA uses hydrolyzed collagen. Hydrolyzed collagen consists of the smallest fraction of amino acids, which are easily absorbed by the body.

EPHYRA contains absorbable collagen. This is very important. Do you know why loads of people people takes collagen, but couldn’t really see the result? High collagen molecule density is the reason. The body can’t absorb it easily. A brand’s collagen is measured in DALTON (Da). It’s not about how many mg of collagen there is in the content, but how small the protein is. The more rapidly absorbed, the sooner see the effects of body. Important fact: The density of EPHYRA collagen = less than 1500Dalton. EPHYRA collagen size = less than 1500 Dalton and therefore very easily absorbed by the body . That’s why those who are drinking EPHYRA can see the effects as early as 7 days unlike most collagen in the market where one needs 3-4 boxes of collagen to see the effect.

EPHYRA collagen content is sufficient for the body .The human body does not require a large amount of collagen, but only needs small amount of it. (Do note that exessive amount of collagen can be damaging to the kidney in the long run. :()

EPHYRA is a skin supplement , (a beauty drink ), but not the only the skin that will be able to benefit from it . There are other benefits besides bright and elastic skin . Among them are: Energy booster

Less hair loss. ~ Strengthen hair roots , and encourages new hair growth.
Weight control.
Shiny and healthy nails.
Cracked heel decreases. ~ No more dry and cracked heels.
Dark circles under the eyes is reduced and more even skin tone.
Reduce inflammation & joint pain as well as knee pain.
EPHYRA is proven to be effective as early as 7-14 days.

There are many collagen products out there that claims to be safe & clean , but surprisingly when we checked them out with MOH & JAKIM, it is not. It is important to choose a product that will not be harmful to your body. EPHYRA is certified Halal, so if you’re a Muslim, you won’t have to worry about consuming a non-halal product.

EPHYRA has been proven effective by so many users. Just take a look at the testimonial below:

The Skin condition of this user is much better after consuming EPHYRA after quite some time.

It doesn’t just work for the ladies, but EPHYRA doesn’t have any gender discrimination. Men can consume and benefit from EPHYRA too. I know a few male bloggers who consumed EPHYRA religiously…and they have benefited tremendously from it. Among them are Shakiddo and Eyriqazz. Check their blogs out and find out for yourself how they actually benefited from it. If I’m not mistaken, EPHYRA also helped boost up EYriqazz’s fertility and his wife is now pregnant with another child.

I’m myself an EPHYRA user. And I assure you that it’s nothing short of miracle. Below is the recap of my first 14 days experience with EPHYRA.

14 days journal entry with EPHYRA

Day 1: I was a little skeptical about drinking EPHYRA, cuz most collagen and beauty drinks taste nasty. But I tried it regardless and was pleased to discover that EPHYRA is not only easy to prepare; all you need to do is just pour out the sachet contents into the shaker and shake it with cold water, but it taste very, very good too! EPHYRA tasted like a yummilicious glass of orange juice. I was all smile and immediately craved for a second glass on the spot, but rules are rules. One can only take EPHYRA once a day and according to prescribed serving. Completely a pleasant experience.

Day 2: I did not realize if there is any changes, but I noticed that I had no problems running around like the crazy Duracell Bunny all day long in events and whatnot. That’s pretty surprising cuz I get tired pretty easily and my mood can get terribly nasty due to fatigue.

Day 3: My skin isn’t any fairer and the dark chicken pox scar was still there, but I noticed that my skin is not as dry.

Day 4: Bowel movements improves and I pee more often.

Day 5: I was able to sleep better.

Day 6: Started noticing that my face is getting smoother and much more hydrated from within.

Day 7: The real fun begins, could really start to notice the difference in my face. It’s now brighter and my skin feels hydrated from within.

Day 8: Was out whole day again, attending events. Was filled with energy and people mistook my son for being my kid brother twice.

Day 9: Flaky and scaly skin is much lesser and I could seriously see the new skin regeneration effects.

Day 10: Skin is much clearer, smoother and the best part, chicken pox scar started to really fade.

Day 11: Took a good look in the mirror and noticed that my face is much fairer and my cheeks have natural rosy blush though there was no make up on. Skin is devoid of pimples though I was having PMS symptoms. The dark circles around the eyes and eyebags has pretty much faded. Skin tone is much more even too.

Day 12: More and more chicken pox scars faded away and my skin feels hydrated from.within all day through. Another noticeable positive changes that I noticed is that my gum no longer bleed easily. I suppose all that vitamins in EPHYRA contributed in this change too.

Day 13: Again, someone mistook me as my son’s elder sister and I noticed that my lips is surprisingly soft, fuller and pinkish without the usage of lip balm.

Day 14: Chicken pox scar is no longer noticeable. Skin much softer and smoother and my face is much more radiant than before. Took selfies and compared the picture with the one taken before I started to consume EPHYRA and I can happily say that I look much better and healthier now.

So, am I satisfied with the result? Yes, absolutely! I could actually see positive results in just 5 days of usage, and I’m definitely a happy camper, considering that I feel much more beautiful and confident now. I rarely feel as tired as before, and feel completely revitalized. A note here: I did not use any other skincare products throughout my 14 days challenge with EPHYRA, so I can vouch that it is really, really effective!

Not convinced? Well then just take a look at the before and after below.

Can you see the difference? Skin is much fairer and flawless.

And lips is much pinker. These photos are taken completely ‘nude’ with no makeups on and no filter was used whatsoever. Please ignore the damaged- looking hair, though. I had a little bit of a disaster in a stupid hairsalon and not even EPHYRA could save my burnt and frazzled hair. That’s another story altogether and I need to fix it and rescue it by using some hair products or chopped them all off, but apart from the disastrous hair, I believe that the changes that EPHYRA helped me achieve is amazing!

Ugly chicken pox scar has faded, and my skin is not as flaky and as dry as before too and I have no doubts that with continuous usage, I’ll be able to get rid of them unhealthy skin and damaged skin completely.

EPHYRA might be a tad costly for some, but I have some good news for those who are living in Putrajaya and Perak. EPHYRA will be joining Karnival Utusan (Putrajaya ) & Karnival Jom Heboh (Perak) from  26th April to  27th April 2014. EPHYRA will be sold at a promotional price during these carnivals.

Visit any of these EPHYRA booth during the carnival, and stand a chance to meet celebrity couple Memey Suhaiza and Norman Hakim.

And in conjunction of EPHYRA’s 2nd anniversary, OCEANLIFE will be have a MEGA SALE starting from 28th April 2014 where you can take advantage of the promotional price of RM180 (original price is RM197). So…grab em. It’s really worth every penny spent as I can vouch for the effectiveness.

And in conjunction of the anniversary, EPHYRA is also producing exclusive, limited edition t-shirts at RM15 each. It’s really cool and comfy, so you might wanna grab em too. Check out their booth during the carnival to take advantage of the promo price and loads of freebies awaits. I’ll probably check out the Putrajaya one and let me know if you’re going too, and I’ll meet you there.

Organizing and Managing Email is Easy with ccGenie

My email inbox is always in a mess. I’m not very good at organizing it. It’s constantly overload with new emails, drafts, forwarded emails, contacts, web links, embedded images, links to items in the cloud, all kinds of attachments: documents, spreadsheets, presentations—and more often I’m not, I feel pretty much lost whenever I want to find important emails in it.

My messy email.

I know I’m very bad at organizing and I probably should start learning how to manage my email better before any of my clients started to go banshee at me, but…but…I’m just terribly bad at organizing. There’s simply no hope for me in that department. Clearly, email management and cleaning up messy stuff is not my forte. But lucky me, a friend of mine introduced me to ccGenie Rooms.

Mission: Breakfast Love with F&N Seasons Nutrisoy

Remember not long ago I posted up about waking up early and attending the F&N Nutrisoy Breakfast Love cooking demo where it was emphasized on how important it is to kick start the day with breakfast? Well…after that I was a tad repentant that all these while I have been depriving my family from all the goodness one can benefit from breakfast, so I made a point to make breakfast every now and then these days.

Usually it would be something simple like half boil eggs served with buttered toasts or scrambled eggs, but today I decided to make something much heavier after perusing all of my family member’s calender. Husband would be busy with work and meeting, kiddo’s schedule is inclusive of art class and sports training while my schedule is packed with reviews and events.

Hectic schedule calls for breakfast that’s packed with carbohydrates, protein and iron, and what would better provide energy in the most delicious way than a wholesome breakfast pizzas served with F&N Seasons NutriSoy?

Pizzas are well known for being unhealthy, but I beg to differ. It doesn’t necessarily be unhealthy when it’s homemade and you get to control the ingredients. Mine are loaded up with iron through the spinach in it.

Here’s sharing with you the recipe for my special Breakfast pizza. Please don’t be intimidated. It’s pretty simple and I promise you that this is a quickie recipe that even the busiest mums could spend time to make.

Breakfast Naan Pizza Recipe

What you’ll need to make Naan Breakfast Pizzas:

Ingredients

Pizza base:

1 piece of naan ( you can easily obtain them from your neighbourhood Mamak restaurants)

Pizza toppings:

Spinach, finely chopped

Chopped garlic

2 pieces of chicken sausages

1 cup of grated mozzarella cheese or 3 slices of cheddar cheese

Ready made pasta sauce of any brand

What you need to do:

Method:

Spread the ready made pasta sauce onto your naan, then mix up some chopped spinach with chopped garlic lightly before spreading them up onto the naan evenly. Slice up the chicken sausages or frankfurters of your choice before finishing it up with a topping of sliced Cheddar or mozzarella. You may use any sort of cheese that you like, but I used cheddar, mainly because it’s economical and melt like a dream in the oven, cutting the baking time in the oven. I used two types of Cheddar Cheese. One is the aged ones, while the other is newly processed for extra rich distinctive flavour.

 

Basically, your Naan Breakfast Pizza will look like this before going into the oven. Now that the pizza is ready, you can either bake it in the oven immediately or wrap it up with cling wrap and leave it overnight in the fridge and bake it the next day for breakfast.

Temperature for baking:

If you used Mozzarella cheese as toppings: 160′celcius for 15 minutes

If you used any kind of Cheddar as topping: 150′celcius for 8 minutes

How my pizza looks like after 8 minutes in the oven.

I served my breakfast pizza with F&N Seasons NutriSoy and it’s polished up within minutes upon servings. (sorry, no pictures of us gobbling up the breakfast, we were rushing and too hungry to remember to take pictures. )

Preparing breakfast that is nutritious and packed with energy is easy as 1, 2, 3 with F&N Seasons NutriSoy. Apart from the Naan Breakfast Pizza above, you can also pair the F&N Seasons NutriSoy with various local breakfast favourites like roti canai, mee goreng, half boil eggs and toasts, nasi lemak and many more. I’ve tried pairing the F&N Seasons NutriSoy with these local breakfast favourites and I can say that it is definitely a better and a healthier choice than having the meals with the regular the tarik or kopi ais. F&N Seasons NutriSoy pairs perfectly with American breakfast and waffles too, so the next time you serve your American breakfast for your loved ones, it doesn’t have to be with some strong black coffee or breakfast tea. You can replace it with F&N Seasons NutriSoy instead.

Apart from the Naan Breakfast Pizza, here’s a few breakfast recipe in my blog that you can pair the F&N Seasons NutriSoy with too, so check out the links below:

Happy Birthday, Iqwal Hafiz

Do you have any celebrity friend? Well…I do. Most of them are either novelists or deejays. But ever since I started to join the good folks in Sahabat Media in various media trips and activities, I got to know a good looking kid, who happens to be a talented singer. He’s Iqwal Hafiz, the Singing Traveler and I met him for the very first time during Banghuris Homestay trip.

I’ll be honest, I’m not very familiar with Malaysian music industry…and only knew a few names…most of them are…well…older entertainers…or those drama actors and actress who are usually age 30 and above. :p And having meet this humble and down to Earth kid…I never once thought that he is an internationally known star.

I fell in love with his voice and humble charisma the very first time I listened to him sing on the stage in Banghuris Homestay and have been following his career with interest ever since. Learned plenty of new songs from him each time he sang live during those trips that I joined.

One would have thought that an artist status would made him cocky…but cocky is never a word I’d use to describe this young man. He’s easy to approach and his manager, Myn Khairuddin, more fondly known among us as Mama Myn a.k.a his mum are friendly to boot and most of us in Sahabat Media knows him personally.

First time knowing Iqwal…during Banghuris Homestay trip

Initially I thought he’s just another Vlogger. Then I discovered that he’s a star in his own right. Check out his website HERE

Iqwal singing during the KTAM sponsored Railway Tourism Trip to Bukit Gnatang Homestay. One of the most memorable memory for me. He sang ‘Anak Kampung by Jimmy Pelikat’. A pretty catchy song that’s now one of my favourites.

Memories with Iqwal- Adventure in 100 Doraemon Secret Gadget Expo. Kiddo fooling around with Iqwal.

Listening to Iqwal singing on board of Kelah during the Putrajaya Lake Cruise

Here’s thanking Iqwal for being our friend and entertaining us with various serenade, dedicating songs for me and my husband every now and then during DJ Azz and DJ Lia Omey’s program, Carta Blogger 30 in Ewana Fm every 10pm-12am every Tuesday. (sometimes we bully him into singing for us…LOL) and on the behalf of my family and everyone at Sahabat Media…we wish you a very blessed birthday and a wonderful career ahead.

Cleffairy: Thank you for singing for us and thank you for being our friend.

Q&A On Why I Raise My Child The Way I Do

Someone asked me yesterday…why instead of pushing my kid academically the way other parents are doing…I encourage him to cook, handle animals and do photography shoots instead? That someone seems to think that I’m not doing things the right way.

Well, I’ve posted my answer on Facebook as I was pretty annoyed that people are being cynical and skeptical of what I’m doing although the business of raising my child is mine and mine alone, but still…I’d like you people to know my answer. But since most of you readers are not my friends on Facebook, so here’s my answer, in case any of you decided to meddle in my business again:

1. My child has autism. He is different and socially challenged. His verbal skills is awfully limited and his academic development is not like other children his age. He doesn’t thrive on paperwork, but hands on. So I give him as much exposure as I can. I made a mistake by keeping him just in the house during the first few years in his life just because I was afraid of people’s opinion about him and my parenting skills. No more stupid mistake like this. Some people are dumb and impossible to educate  anyway and they have no idea how it is like to be a primary caregiver to an autistic child until they are in the same shoes. I’m giving my child the world. Not keep him in a damn house like I use to. Enough hiding. Enough being in the closet. ENOUGH!

2. Instead of just excelling the papers…I want to prepare him for the real world. Life skills is important. I won’t be around forever. I will die someday. When I do, who the hell is going to look after him? Family? Relatives? Friends? Geez…I bet my arse that they will be the first to run away from this ‘spoiled and retarded’ child before I even get cold in my grave. They would probably just throw him in the nuthouse when I’m no longer around…so good survival skills is essentially needed.

3. Cooking teaches him patience. And so does photography. He have photographic memory. It sharpens his mind and concentration. These give him sense of accomplishment and boost his confidence.

4. Handling animals teaches him to be human and compassionate. I don’t want him to be like any other loud, rude and rough brats people are breeding these days.

5. Other parents may just want their kids to get good grades in school and get a good job when they graduate. I don’t want that. I don’t want just a job but a career for my son…so I’ll do whatever I can to give him a head-start so that he can be an accomplished and recognized person nationwide.

Cleffairy: How I raise my child is nobody’s business but mine and mine alone.
