Living without pain (Sponsored Post)

Did you know that the word "pain" is said to be derived from the Latin "poena" meaning a fine, a penalty.. so, at times, I guess it is a punishment for us when we misbehave, over indulge, or do things we should not and find ourselves in pain. 




How? Like do dangerous stunts and get into accidents (example, my youngest daughter once decided to balance herself and stand on her doll's stroller and she fell over with a horrible gash in her gums and bruises all over), over indulge in sweet desserts to end up with diabetic or even a horrible toothache and so on....

I was at the Istana Budaya recently, a couple of days ago to check out the new Musical 'Randai' play  they had scheduled for 25-27 of March at the Panggung Sari theatre there .

Delicious healthy meals at your doorstep

Feeling too tired or lazy to cook and your family is expecting dinner from you? Have no fear, Shogun2U is here... 

LOL....yes, I made that up but seriously, Shogun2U is heaven sent when it comes to times when you have people dropping by or your family members expecting a good meal and you are just to knackered out and exhausted.. or feeling sooo lazy...

KOSE SEKKISEI Trial Kit

A couple of weeks back, I was stunned by the arrival of a huge box at my home, all wrapped in bubble wrap... my lovely step daughter Alyssa was with me, so she volunteered to be the one (,y model) unboxing it as I took some pictures, since I cannot quite take photos of myself opening the box nor do I quite like to be photographed not in make up, since it was a rest day for me...

Yes, skin care is important for me, and I love have days I put on full make up and go out, but on rest days, there are days I just tend to leave my face bare of make up to enable it to breathe.... I do not really know how true is it but well, I did go through a pretty bad phase once in my twenties when I was busy trying to be a 'model'.. yes, this woman was once reasonably pretty and narcissistic enough to think she could be a model or celebrity once upon a time...ages ago... and it was also the time I put on all sorts of make up and foundations and my skin got really messed up as a result.

The Launching of Tanah Aina Coffee Table book

It was a lovely warm and balmy Sunday afternoon and I was at the Saloma Theatre Restaurant along Jalan Ampang and I have to admit I was stunned to see the set up... upon registration, we got to walk along a covered and very lush green pathway to the restaurant surrounded by all kinds of plants , pebbles and pictures of all of the different Tanah Aina Eco Resorts there were....

I was actually here for the launch of Tanah Aina Coffee Table Book and a hi-tea, but nothing in my mind could have prepared me for such a grand launch of epic proportions....

Narcissistic me.... this blog post is about me... hahaha

Ok, today is the day I am gonna be 'perasan' (narcissistic) and am blogging about my own person.. my personality and to let my friends/ readers get a glimpse and some insight about me...

Once upon a time back in my high school days I dreamt of being a journalist... I wanted to be able to write and travel.. , it was definitely one of my ambitions back then. However I

HTC One A9 Launch & CNY Media Appreciation Dinner

LeveL7even @Hilton Kuala Lumpur was  bustling with an almost carnival-like atmosphere when I got off the elevator. Everyone knows that HTC is a global leader in mobile innovation and design, so I was here to check out the latest additions to the award winning HTC smartphone family...

KL Tower's Secretaries week 'Suatu Masa...' with Dato M Nasir

Roaring Lions and Dragon Dance Performance at Concorde Shah Alam

Like a blogger friend said.. there is nothing more thrilling then to watch a lion dance performance and it can make even us grown ups feel like little kiddies standing at the sidelines clapping away gleefully...to more or less quote famous food blogger Miss Ivy from www.foodmsia.com ...

I know I feel the thrill every time I see a lion dance performance and I can never resist watching one whenever I can... so that is why this CNY I have probably seen about a dozen or so lion dance performances... and all of them are pretty fun and unique in their own ways...Northern Lion dance... Southern Lion dance but when it comes to dragon dance... errmm... I have yet to see one... well, at least until yesterday at the Concorde Hotel Shah Alam....when I finally got to see my first dragon dance, and probably the last one of the year..

We were there early to get out car park, knowing the crowd the fun run was expecting as well as well, Kepong Metropolitan Park is notorious for double, triple parking even outside the park....especially on a weekend!!!!

How to have soft, clear beautiful skin....and stay young...

Every woman wants to stay young and beautiful their whole life. Anyone reading this has a different opinion?? Hands up or comment below… heheheh.. Anyway, these are half a dozen important rules on how to stay young and beautiful….

KL SOGO brought in the Kun Seng Keng Lion and Dragon Dance Association all the way from Muar  for the day, Kun Seng Keng Lion and Dragon Dance Association is the 58-time winner of the World Chinese Lion Dance Championship!!

Pakistan Expo "PEXPO KL" in Mid Valley Exhibition Center

So yours truly was at the Mid Valley Exhibition Center yesterday to check out the inauguration day of the Made in Pakistan exhibition. The mood there was sure very festive and there were many dignitaries and ambassadors around to give support to this made in Pakistan expo better known as "PEXPO"

And why not because this is the first ever exhibition on such a large scale organized in Malaysia showcasing a wide range of exhibits by 63 Pakistani companies, most of them who are here in Malaysia for the first time to study the market and source out Malaysian consumers taste and preferences. These companies are not to be underestimated though as many of them have since established a business relationship in Europe and North America, and they are not interested to explore potentials in South East Asia.

Sunway Lagoon Wildlife Park

As you all know, my daughter and I were at the launch of the new Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon Park recently.. and well, after spending time there, we decided to visit the animals at the Sunway Lagoon Wildlife Park because both of us love animals and I am just crazy over trying to take their pictures....despite having just so so cameras, since the demise of my Sony RX100....These pictures are all taken on my Samsung WB250F, and is fortunately not too bad....

Pakistan Expo (PEXPO) 2016

Heaven knows I have always admired the very lovely colonial style mansion that was the Pakistan High Commission, situated just right next to the Renaissance Hotel and right opposite the MaTiC.

So when I was invited to attend a Press Conference there yesterday, I was thrilled ...  but of course, since it was inside the Pakistan High Commission, there are definitely protocols and also the need to be able to carry yourself properly, but all is good. I am not about to behave like a wild monkey , despite it being the year of the Fire Monkey right... LOL

How I planned a holiday overseas with less than RM300....

Living in a big city with cost of living escalating, causes our stress levels to also rise... therefore it is of utmost importance for me to indulge myself and to go on a vacation somewhere... 

I need that break every now and then, from all the stresses in life that come from juggling work, family, relationships etc...I am sure everyone else needs a change of environment from time to time... but the one thing that is stopping people from going on a nice vacation, a nice holiday to somewhere they want to go...is money... right??

Well... what would you say if  I tell you that I have just booked a trip out of Malaysia on a flight for less than RM200 and can you believe me when I am telling you I got a hotel stay for 2 nights in a very clean and lovely place with nice ambience for less than RM100???

Unbelievable right?? But I did it... read on to find out how...

See What A Difference A Stay Makes at KIP Hotel Kuala Lumpur (Hotel Review)

So yours truly was over at the KIP Hotel with the family - my hubby and daughter in tow to check out the newly opened KIP Hotel and a little temporary change in life we need. Because, face it, with all the normal routine in our lives , sometimes it can be draggy and we do need a break from routine, and indulge in a trip somewhere. It doesn't really need to be too far away... For me it could be just checking into some nice hotel and spending time with family , kids and friends relaxing, chilling out etc....

Anyway this gorgeous hotel was opened to public since October 2015 and is located off the busy Jalan Kuching at the thriving Sri Utara commercial district... And if you do not know where it is... you actually cannot miss the red, white, grey KIP Hotel from Batu Caves or Jalan Kuching... and it is not too far from the Tesco Hypermarket near Taman Wahyu...
