My family visited Legoland from 3-5th Sept 2014. My children enjoyed the trip very much. We stayed at Legoland hotel. Our room theme was Adventure. There was treasure hunt in the room itself where they had to get the correct answers to the clues given to unlock the monkey treasure box. There was also a box of lego bricks for them to play in the hotel room. If you want to book your stay with Legoland Hotel, you can visit their website at http://www.legoland.com.my/Hotel/Home/
The first day was raining, so we decided to visit The Little Big Club since it was indoor. Here are some photos of the place.
The next day we visited Legoland. The Star Wars Miniland was the latest attraction there. It cost Rm6 million to built this. It has more than 2000 detailed models built using 1.5 million Lego bricks and it took the team an incredible 8000 hours to built it. This place is fully air-conditioned and has iconic scenes from all six Episodes and the Star Wars : The Clone Wars animated series.We saw Yoda, R2-D2, and the legendary Sith Lord, Darth Vader all made from Lego bricks. For the month of September 2014, children dressed in their favourite Star Wars character gets to go in for free. There will be fireworks display on the 15th Sept 2014 at 8pm. This miniland is open to the public on 6th Sept 2014 but I was lucky enough to be able to view it on the 4th Sept 2014. Annual pass holders & the media were allowed to enter from 1-5th Sept 2014.
Besides this new attraction, we visited the other rides at Legoland. My kids had a lot of fun here.
On the last day of our stay, we played at the water park. It was my daughter's first experience on the high water slides. She loved it & went many times. Overall, it was a fun trip for my family.
My daughter & I attended the Panasonic Bread Making Workshop on 9th August 2014 at The Cooking House.We were very excited as it was our first time attending a cooking workshop together.
We were taught how to use the Panasonic bread maker SD-P104 by Chef Collin Edward Lim. He said we need to put the kneading blade in the bread pan, add in the flour and all the dry ingredients except the yeast and nuts. The wet ingredients such as egg goes in last. The yeast should be put into the yeast dispenser and any nuts into the nuts dispenser. Select from the 13 menus and press start. After the beeping sound, take out the bread and you have good & yummy bread without preservatives. Simple, right?
Later, all of us proceeded to the kitchen to create our own decorative bread design using the dough and 3 slices of bread. My daughter & I decided to make Hello Kitty because both of us love Hello Kitty.
There were 5 Panasonic bread makers to be won that day. These are the photos of the winners.
The rest of the participants received a hard cover recipe book on desserts. Thank you Panasonic Malaysia and The Cooking House for organizing this workshop. My daughter and I had a lot of fun and it was a good experience. We hope to join more cooking workshops together in the future.
On 17th July 2014, Scholl Malaysia launched a new product - Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi electronic foot file. The event was held at the Gardens hotel and Residences, KL. I won the Facebook contest and was invited to try it out. I met many bloggers who were also invited to try this too.
The Scholl velvet smooth express pedi electronic foot file has a roller head which is washable and replaceable. It uses batteries and it is fast and effective. It buffs away hard skin easily for smooth feet.
After the session, all my rough skin on my feet were gone and my soles of my feet were really smooth. It took about 10 minutes only. I also had the option to color my nails.
Later we were invited for dinner. Everyone present also received the Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi to use at home. Thanks Scholl Malaysia for the great experience and for my smooth feet.
On 6th July 2014, I brought my daughter to Genius Mind Academy at Bukit Jalil. Here I learnt the benefits of Mid-Brain Activation. The Mid-Brain is a small region of the brain that serves as a relay center for visual, auditory, and motor system information. It acts as a bridge between the left and right brain. The activation of Mid-Brain will result in better communication between the left & right brain to achieve a balanced use of the whole brain. Do you know that most people only use 5% of their brain?
This sound wave technology is proprietary by GMA, and has been administered to more than 100,000 students over the past 8 years across the region including Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, China, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand, etc.
Children at birth and up to the age of about 6 years old, the mid-brain is active.
Beyond the age of 6, the mid-brain development slows down and gradually become less active.
My daughter went for the Genius Mind Academy (GMA) brain wave measurement. They use a computer to measure my daughter's brain wave. Here are some photos.
This is a sample of how the results look like.
After listening to the explanation and seeing some slides, it is hard to believe that the students can do so many things blind folded like read a book, choose a ball and know it's color, or smell a card and know it's color and number. Amazing, right? These students did a demo that day.
GMA offers these programs :
1) Super Sensory Development (for age 5-15 years old). This is to awake / activate the mid-brain to help kids to accelerate learning, increase efficiency, improve character, improve memory and concentration.
2) Super Sensory Reading (for age 8-17 years old). This is to let children learn to comprehend reading at high speed.
3) Super Brain Training (for age 5 years old and above). This is to increase IQ and EQ, improve memory, improve study ability, migraine, depression, autism, stroke, hand tremor, ADD and ADHD.
4) Mind Management Adult (for age 16 years old and above). This is a technique to download information into the subconscious mind. With a healthy mind, one can achieve success.
This photo above shows all the awards to GMA.
Here are some newspaper articles about this.
Take a look at this video.
For me, I think this is a good course for students to activate their mid-brain so they can improve their memory and achieve better results. For more information, please contact :
Neutrogena Malaysia held a private Healthy Beauty Hang Out event on 28th June 2014 at Damansara Perdana. Neutrogena celebrated their 60th anniversary and this event was to give us tips on the correct way towards healthy skin. Thanks to Neutrogena for this lovely event.
Above is Cindy explaining all the skin care products, when and how to use them.
The above are the deep clean range.
These are the moisturizers including hand cream, deep hydrating mask and lip moisturizer.
The whitening range above should not be used by those who have acne. They need to treat their acne before using these whitening products.
These are the Hydro Boost range.
Learnt that one should start using the ageless range at 25 years old.
There was Q&A session and sharing among all who attended.
There was a demo by Cindy on how to remove and apply make up. She mentioned that liquid eye liner last longer than pencil eye liner. She said it's ok to use the pencil eye liner first and apply the liquid eye liner on top of it. She also advised us to wash our face last after we use shampoo and conditioner. This way, we would have a clean face after the conditioner is rinsed off.
Lunch was provided and everyone got to bring home a goodie bag and an umbrella. The event was good and informative and I met many new friends.
