One of it is of course my birthday where Guinness Anchor Berhad (GAB), the leading beer and stout company in Malaysia will be celebrating the iconic German Oktoberfest with an exciting consumer promotion that provides discerning beer drinkers with a special edition 1 liter Ceramic Oktoberfest Mug when they enjoy GAB’s iconic brews! You just got another reason to drink more with Oktoberfest!

Expect evenings of good food from around the world, great fun with exciting contests, promotions and activities and of course, GAB’s selection of award-winning beers including Tiger, Guinness, Heineken and the official Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier, brewed exclusively for the Oktoberfest season. Not only that, as at these events, you will be able to get the special edition Oktoberfest Mug with a limited edition metal lid – if you want this, be sure to drop by early to reserve yours! 

Oktoberfest Facts & Figures (used this to impress your friends during Oktoberfest!)
1. All celebration initially started as wedding celebration in 1810 to commemorate the union between Crown Prince Ludwig (who later became King Ludwig I) and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen at Theresienwiese (translated as Therese's meadow / field) – it is for this reason that Oktoberfest is referred to by Germans as ‘die Wiesn’ or ‘the field’
2. Through the years, Oktoberfest celebrations have had a number of different elements and activities, including horse races, street parades (in traditional costumes), live music, dancing and of course the appreciation of authentic Munich-brewed beer.
3. Currently, Oktoberfest is a truly global celebration with almost 7 million visitors consuming over 7 million litres of beer and more than half a million chickens throughout the celebration (based on 2011 figures), which lasts between 16 – 18 days from the middle of September to the first Sunday of October.
4. For 2013, the Oktoberfest festival proper will run from 21 September 2013 to October 6 2013 – a total of 16 days of culture, cuisine and beers 

What Makes An Oktoberfest Beer?
1. All Oktoberfest beers must be brewed within the city limits of Munich and must also conform to the Reinheitsgebot or Bavarian Purity Law which strictly governs the production of beer in Germany by limiting the ingredients that can be used
2. All Oktoberfest beers are approximately 13% proof (about 6% alcohol), meaning they are a little bit stronger than their “non-Oktoberfest” variants 

An Introduction to Paulaner1. Paulaner was first brewed by monks from the Paulaner monastery in 1634 making it almost 380 years old – however it is still the “youngest” of the Oktoberfest Beers
2. Unlike the rest of the Paulaner range, Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier is not a wheat beer but instead a lager.
3. Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier, like all Oktoberfest beers are approximately 13% proof (about 6% alcohol), meaning they are a little bit stronger than their “non-Oktoberfest” variants . (Note usually one only 5%  to5.5%)
4. At the Oktoberfest celebration, each Oktoberfest beer operates a number of tents which provide different drinking experiences. Paulaner is famous for three widely popular tents, namely: -
• Armbrustschützenzelt – ‘Armbrust’ means crossbow and this tent certainly lives up to its name with a crossbow shooting range available for more than 110 years
• Käfer's Wies'n-Schänke – this is a smaller tent that gets VIP visitors from all over the world and serves signature gourmet food such as “Käfer-Duck” and a roast saddle of venison.
 • Winzerer Fähndl – This tent is also popular amongst VIPs due to its attention to detail, celebrated oompah band called “Nockherberger” and iconic tower with a giant mug of Paulaner sitting atop it

Liposonix - 1 treatment, 1 hour, & lose 1 size !

Do you have the last inch of fat at your tummy that always cannot be removed

It is possible with Solta Medical where it offers a revolutionary non-invasive reduction technology - Liposonix®, which uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy to permanently destroy targeted fat cells without surgery, allowing consumers to drop one size with one treatment that takes only one hour!

YES 1 treatment , 1 hour and you lose around 1 size!

Liposonix is a revolutionary non-surgical solution for people who are close to their ideal shape, but have stubborn areas of fat that just won’t go away no matter how much they exercise or diet. The procedure takes about one hour, and while individual results can vary, patients typically achieve a waistline reduction of approximately one inch (equivalent to one pant or dress size) within 8-12 weeks after receiving a single treatment!

And if you are not a fan of surgery knife, well Liposonix is a better choice to help eliminate stubborn fat at your targeted areas. It is perfect for those who are close to their ideal size and shape, but need help where diet and exercise just won’t work. Liposonix® was awarded the Best Non-Invasive Slimming Treatment by Harper’s BAZAAR Spa Awards 2013.

This century is witnessing emerging treatments in cosmetic surgery, especially for body contouring. Invasive fat reduction procedures typically carry certain surgical risks and are associated with significant post-treatment recovery downtime. Unlike such treatments, Liposonix® offers a non-invasive procedure for a truly customized treatment in a single one-hour session. The patients typically resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure!

THE LIPOSONIX® DIFFERENCE

 Non-Surgical = Non-Invasive  

As a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment, Liposonix® performs its custom contouring art using HIFU. The treatment head of the Liposonix® system is first placed on the targeted area, where the HIFU will breakdown the fat cells under the layers of the skin. A continuous lesion is created on the targeted fat but this guarantees no harm done on your skin layers. The fat tissues will then be removed through your body’s natural healing and elimination process.

Custom Contouring – 1 Treatment, 1 Hour, 1 Size Smaller!     

Patients come in all shapes and sizes, and different types of fat. The Liposonix® System is highly versatile, allowing control over precisely how and where energy is delivered. Liposonix® is a truly customized treatment in a single one-hour session.

If you want your shape to fit your style, then Liposonix’s 1 treatment, 1 hour, 1 size smaller offer is the answer you’ve been looking for. With just one hour in one session, Liposonix® is able to target fat around your abdomen or love handles without surgery. The average waistline reduction after just a single-hour treatment is about 1 inch – which typically means one size smaller!
 

A REDUCTION FOR THE HEALTHY ONES

A suitable candidate for the Liposonix® treatment must be able to “pinch-an-inch” of fat in the treatment area, have a body mass index (BMI) equal to or less than 30, have a good overall health, and have realistic expectations about the results. 

Results are typically seen in 8 to 12 weeks, but it really is a truly personal experience. It represent each individual’s last step to getting the slimmer look and is dependent on the patients’ body’s natural healing and elimination process.

It’s Time for Results  

Liposonix® is not liposuction or a surgical treatment, neither is it a replacement for your healthy lifestyle and exercise or a way to lose weight. Instead, Liposonix® is a quick and easy way to help you lose that last inch and hit your personal shape goals – proven in one quick and safe treatment.

Review : Now you see it, now you don't with Vanish Power O2.

 Have you tried Vanish before?

Vanish Power O2 is designed to remove even tough dried in stains. Ensuring that you are left with stain free laundry everything you used it!

There are basically 2 types as you can see from the picture:-

 

Left : White bottle is Vanish Power O2 Crystal White Powder (fabric stain remover + whitening effect - for white colour clothing)

Right : Pink bottle on the right is Vanish Power O2 Powder (fabric stain remover for all colours clothing)

I got to admit I am a pretty clumsy person and often split food on my clothes unknowingly too hungry maybe. And sometimes I got to toss my favourite clothes away when I could not remove the stains after several times...it's very sad especially if that is my limited edition dress I bought from overseas!

So let's put this Vanish Power O2 into test and see if it really VANISH the stains! 

Vanish Power O2 Crystal White Powder (RM13.80/500g) works to remove stains and keep your whites as white as possible. The special formula contains Oxi Powerlift agents which penetrate and lift the stain first time, and also whitening ingredients to help retain a brilliant whiteness in your washing. Add a scoop of this powder to your wash load to see great results.

You know that our white colour clothes will usually turns in pale yellow  ( after many many many rounds of washing and can feel the fabric thinning when I was using other whitening detergent brand... so this Vanish Power O2 Crystal White does not just removes stain but it also helps to maintain the "whiteness" of clothes.

 So it's pure coincidence that I have my white cardigan stained! Told you I'm a clumsy person...

 Actually I do not know where & when I got the stain from but I guess from food...maybe soy sauce or something! Also this cardigan which I bought from China has actually looked a bit old (the white colour turns yellowish) after many round of washing ...

Let me see if Vanish Power O2 Crystal White Powder works!

 Direction to use

Washing Machine:

1. For tougher and dried-in stains, add 1 scoop to your normal detergent in the washing machine drawer.    
2. For normal stains, add 1/2 a scoop.     
3. Wash as usual. You can get great results even at 30 degrees.   

 Soaking: (For tough & dried stains) -  Can use to remove blood & red wine stains too!

1. Fully dissolve 1 scoop in 4 litres of warm water (max 40 °C). 
2. For normal stains use 1/2 a scoop.     
3. For the best results, soak for 6 hours.     
4. After soaking, wash as usual or rinse thoroughly.     
5. For best results on tough stains, rub before rinsing.  

As I do not know what kinda of stain is mine, I use 1 scoop and soak it for 6 hours according to the instruction above. 

Important Note : Always follow the usage instructions on the Vanish packaging. Also Do not use on wool, silk or leather. Do not use on finished or coated surfaces - for example wood, metals etc.

 After soaking, I just rinse off with water and I did not even wash it using brush or washing machine before air dry it.

WOW, the stains really VANISHED into the air & was happy to find the scent was quite pleasing compare to other whitening detergent brand.... I did not even use softener here!


Tips for stain removal tip for clothes: Don't let the stain dry! The longer the stain stays in the fabric, the harder it will be to remove. 

Not only that, I was really happy to see that my white cardigan looked brighter & whiter after wash!!! To me it looks like NEW and I was super impressive with this one and start recommending to my sister & friends!

Verdict :  Vanish Power O2 Crystal White Powder pass with flying colour and I can now testify that it works! And definitely I would repurchase this to use!

Vanish Power O2 Powder (RM13.80/500g) contains Oxi Powerlift which removes all types of stains, from the ones you can clearly see to the tougher ones that may be hidden. Vanish Power O2 Powder is safe to use on both coloured and white clothing.

Honestly I have used many fabric stain remover on my coloured cloth and often the stains is removed but the colour faded after washing...so I have been searching for VERY LONG was searching for fabric stain remover that not only removes stains but maintain the colour in my clothes.

So I found my doggie toy when I was cleaning the house! This was given by my boyfriend on our 1st date 8 years ago.... and I always wonder why he gave me a doggie toy and not a bear ? Hahaha.. I think because both of us are dog lover!

Poor little doggie , looked really dirty cos I think I have chucked it somewhere when I was moving my stuffs , so now Mama going to give you a good shower with Vanish Power O2 Powder!

And my doggie looked really handsome now after I soak for an hour & rinse off!

Well some of you might be wondering, my doggie toy don't have any really tough stains to remove some more right... well I just want to prove, by soaking those normal stains will come off by itself even without brushing it! You know soft toy like this, cannot throw into washing machine ... because it would ruins the shape and the fur might fall off.

Anyway I upgrade my test level and see if Vanish Power O2 Powder can pass my exams or not!

Lipstick stain using one of my Clinique lipstick!!!!
 
This is one very common stains that one will get right, especially for man?  

I went overboard in drawing as I was telling myself... Vanish show me your power....LOL!

Direction to use

Washing Machine: For tough and dried stains: 

1. Add one scoop of Vanish to your laundry detergent in the washing machine drawer and wash as usual.     
2. For normal stains add 1/2 a scoop.     
3. Wash as usual. Get great results also at 30 degrees.  

Soaking: For tough and dried stains: 

1. Fully dissolve 1 scoop of the Vanish Power O2 Powder into 4 litres of warm water (max 40 °C) and leave it to soak. 
2. For lighter stains, you can use 1/2 a scoop.     
3. Colour: leave to soak for a maximum of 1 hour.     
4. Whites: leave to soak for a maximum of 6 hours.     
5. After soaking, wash as usual or rinse thoroughly.     
6. For best results on tough stains, rub the stains out of the clothes before rinsing.

For this lipstick stain, I have to rub the stains out of the clothes before rinsing before it was really a tough stain to remove!!!

My Verdict : Vanish Power O2 Powder also pass with flying colour! It did vanish the tough stains make the colour of my shirt stays!

So your turn to try & tell me your verdict lah... especially you can now request for a sample from FREE... delivered to your doorstep somemore!

Maju Home Concept, a 3-storey One Stop Furniture Mall is now opened USJ!

Last Sunday I attended Maju Home Concept launch and it is located at the boarder between Puchong and USJ. I have actually visited Maju Home HQ in Setapak before when I was hunting for bed frame few years ago. This new Maju Home Concept is a "One Stop Furniture Mall" where it offers customers an all-inclusive shopping literally under one roof of a 3 storey building.

Chinese traditional lion dance is common for store opening but pink colour one is uncommon! They are so pretty <3

He said that Home Concept is not only offering new & fascinating designs, they also set up a real home backdrop, so that customers can see and feel how their furniture would look like, in their home.

Performers of the Lion Dance tour around the store which the hope to bring good luck in the year to come for the business!

I like how their lift is disable friendly because many furniture store I have visited do not even have a lift service! And they are so considerate to even provide you chairs for you to rest your tired feet!

Let's scroll down & see what Maju Home Concept has to offer! 

First Floor

This is the view from the entrance, the place is really huge!

The first thing I spotted as I walked in from the entrance is the colourful button stool!! Really like the vibrant colour and how it comes with the matching coffee table!

Spotted a super huge sofa set and that can fit at least 8 persons ... well this would be perfect if you have big family!

I like the red colour built-in kitchen cabinet! 

Spotted some opening discount at the bathroom appliances section!

Plenty of material & designs to be choose from! Check out the right one in white where it's a 2 in 1 furniture, table & cupboard joint together... not bad, great for space saving!

Also got sell curtains!
