Sell, Swap, Give away your stuffs at friendlyfashion.my

Recently I stumbled to an interesting website named friendlyfashion.my which was founded by two lovely sisters named Nadzirah and Diyana Hashim. It hailed as Malaysia's first online community website where it allows any Malaysians to SELL, SWAP or even GIVE AWAY their preloved (or sometimes new) clothes / shoes or even acccesories for a fashionable cause by simplying registering as a member!

friendlyfashion.my is the first website I came across that is very simple to browse through, yet it is very organised in the sense that each item posted up will be categories accordingly. The fashion items are clearly categories whether it falls under women, men or even children.

Just for womens category itself, there are so many sub-categories. For eg, if I'm looking for dresses, I just click on it and all the dresses will appear for me to choose.

Unlike many online blogshop/forum, friendlyfashion.my is so systematic that we can search any items according to their lowest price to highest price, by number of views but also we can search according to the size we want to find! So it actually make our life easier and do not waste our time browsing through items which do not have our size!

p/s: There is also a search button where we can type exactly what we are looking for.

I am wearing size 35 and so I searched through and found this beautiful Miu Miu inspired black heels. The owner stated this item is new, material made from PU and reason she is selling because it does not suit her style! She is only selling for RM50! Quite an awesome deal I would think except that I don't really wear such a high heels that often. Check out the item here

Tips : By clicking the Star next to the I Want It button, then it will automatically favourite the item and it will appear in my profile Favourite item for me to view & decide later.

I am a big fan of accessories and I found this beautiful YSL Turquoise Ring at only RM12, cant afford to buy the original one maybe this will do !

Some nice Diva bangles I found at the website for only RM12!

I have been looking for a green earring to match my green dinner dress! I think this earring is beautiful and it's only RM5, such a good bargain!

Did I mentioned that seller can post a few photo to show the item they are selling? This is the close up picture of it!

They are also high end items like Coach . Owner mentioned clearly the bag comes with dustbag and care cards. Not for fussy buyers as there are two small hardly noticeble stains on the bag. Still a good bargain right at RM350 ?

To buy this item just click I want it (green tab) and then it will lead you to compose a message to the owner where you can ask the owner whether she is willing to sell or swap the item and payment & delivery method. Maybe can discuss for a little bit discount if you are serious buyer maybe?

Apart from selling away our new/used items, one can give away their items for free at friendlyfashion.my and that's the beauty of it.

There is a saying 'One man's trash is another man's treasure' , so why keep it when someone else finds it useful and can put into better use? This would be a good reason for us to clear away those un-used items and make some space for new items! Oh and this reminds me to take out some of my new clothes, cosmetics to put up for sale, swap or give away maybe?

p/s: As you can see at the right hand below size of the picture, there is a gift symbol which means the item is free.

And I found out this owner is giving away this pretty Diva Rose Gold Bangle for free to one of the people who commented on the page! Check the link here, I left a comment to try my luck!

Love the scarf colour & floral printing and guess what owner is giving it away! By just clicking I want it, it will direct you compose a message to the owner ...

Wow I found this guy is giving away all his shirts for free- some preloved and some new! The thing I like about this webite is I could click on the seller profile, look at the photo & feedbacks that other people give to him. I think feedback is important because as buyer want to make sure we are dealing with good & honest seller.

Besides buying, selling, swaping and give away items here, friendlyfashion.my believes in building relationships between people where there is a forum for people to exchange ideas!

p/s: Besides forum below each item posted on the website, there is a comment area for people to interact with the owner.

Nadzirah and Diyana (founder of friendlyfashion) also blogs to share any information/tips regarding fashion and sometimes they have some guest bloggers. And one particular blog entry that interest me is that how to do Fishtail crown braid, which is insipired by the ancient Rome/Greece hairstyle. There is even a tutorial video there to watch how to do .. very interesting! I am going to try this !

I like how convenient friendlyfashion.my website which allows me efficiently browse through the items according to my interest or size I wanted, now online shopping has never been easier than this ! Besides the forum and blog is a plus point for this website because it allows me to make new friends, obtains new information & share my 2cents on the the latest trends in fashion. I am sure now you can't wait to visit friendlyfashion.my and meantime I will go and dig my stuffs to see if I can sell, swap or give away it here!

One of the best recent movie I have watched, Marvel's The Avengers

If you asked what is one of the best movie I have watched so far in year 2012, definitely Marvel's The Avengers is one of them! And guess what, I watched it in TGV IMAX 3D cinema in Sunway Pyramid... seats are super comfy, screen is super big and most importantly the 3D glass is so comfortable to wear! I really like the 3D effect here, so real and I actually jumped up my seat at the starting of the show.. too real :x

Marvel’s The Avengers is presented by Marvel Studios ia about the Super Hero featuring iconic Marvel Super

Iron Man (by Robert Downey Jr)

Captain America (by Chris Evans)

The Incredible Hulk (by Mark Ruffalo) - my favourite character of all

Thor (by Chris Hemsworth)

Hawkeye (by Jeremy Renner)

Black Widow (by Scarlett Johansson)


Nick Fury (by Samuel L. Jackson)

The story in the “Marvel’s The Avengers is where Nick Fury, director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., initiates a daring, globe spanning recruitment effort to assemble The Avengers team to defeat an unexpected enemy threatening global safety and security. Despite pulling together the ultimate dream team, Nick Fury and longtime confidant Agent Coulson must find a way to convince the Super Heroes to work with, not against each other, when the powerful and dangerous Loki gains access to the Cosmic Cube and its unlimited power.

All I can say is that I like the action part of the movie eventhough in the middle part there are too much talking overall its a good movie to watch.I like how they added a little sense of humour using the Hulk in the movie. I would rate the movie 4/5 if you ask me :) Recommended to watch in TGV Imax 3D theatere !

Have you watch this ? If you have not, then you should !

Bagan Lalang my new favourite place for budget getaway!

I love travelling and everyone knows it. And people often ask me how can I afford to travel so often, so I always tell them to plan ahead and have a budget.

What does that means?

It means that I always plan ahead, as early as one year ahead in buying my air tickets from our Malaysia best local airline, AirAsia . And usually I buy it during their megasales *wink*! And I booked all my accommodations earlier so that I am entitled to get the early bird discounts. Besides that, in order to make travelling more affordable, I always have a budget in mind and plan how much to spend on food, transportations, accommodations and etc so that I will not overspend.

I love flying away for holidays but due to time constraints, it makes it very hard. So, when I like to have a weekend getaway with my family and friends, I will choose the local spots. And recently I found this awesome place and it is a hidden gem in Selangor where it can be a budget holiday for everyone!

I heard about a place named Bagan Lalang from Tourism Selangor when they were introducing this place in their twitter message last year and I was thinking isn’t Lalang (a malay word) means long long, sword-sharp coarse grass or weeds ? I was wondering a place full of long weeds….and what was there to make it so interesting? Hmmm….

Well then, by luck I was lucky to be invited by Tourism Selangor to join their 3 days 2 night outing for the Selangor Water Festival Tweetup Adventure at Bagan Lalang, and now can I confirmed now that Bagan Lalang is a very beautiful undiscovered beach in the Sepang District,Selangor.

Information from Mr.Google

Bagan Lalang is a beach destination near Sungai Pelek town in Sepang district, about 60km from Kuala Lumpur. Once a quiet fishing village, the Sepang Gold Coast integrated resort development has transformed the area into a booming holiday retreat; the Golden Palm Tree Sea Villas the first of a series of luxury hotel and apartment projects. Meanwhile, international visitors transiting at Kuala Lumpur airports,30km away have a convenient spot for a quick sojourn as they await the next flight out. Finally, sunny weather, calm sea, beautiful scenery and easy access from KL enhances the travel appeal to this tropical getaway”.

Bagan Lalang is a place of natural beauty, full of trees, flowers and beautiful beach.



The Bagan Lalang beach is also very beautiful, clean and quiet. It’s a favourite picnic spot for the locals.


Top 6 things we can do at beach without spending a lot of money



1) Feel & play with the sand



The first time I stepped my bare leg into my beach, I was thinking OMG the sands are so fine and white like flour and most importantly, it is very clean! Contrary to what I always thought about Malaysia’s beach to be really dirty but Bagan Lalang beach has proved me wrong!



And I make a joke here to my friends that the sand here is so fine that I can actually use it to scrub my foot to exfoliate and remove my dead skin cells!



And fine sand like this is perfect to use to build sand castles and I think I can spend whole day here building castles! We can also build castles in the air too!




2) Fly a kite

I always like playing with kites so when I saw a lot of stalls selling kites and beach balls, I am smiling like a happy girl because I am going to buy a KITE for myself! I remember I last played kite was like 10 years ago….OMG!


So many colorful kites, I don’t know which to choose! Guess which one I chose?



I bought the rainbow color one! And I must say flying a kite needs a lot of patience, because it is not always easy to control the kite to fly high or low.



3) Dig some clams (Lala)

I walked around the beach and found this Chinese uncle digging for something. I was wondering what was he digging!



A closer look, he was digging for clams or better known as LALA at his free time!



And he has a pail of them, fresh LALA …yummy!

So when I asked this Uncle how he knows when there are clams on the beach and he said that it’s easiest to find them during low tides. And I decided to try to dig for some clams too and he was kind enough to show to me how and even let me trying it!



I tried and tried….Well I must say it’s not easy! Need a lot of pulling with the clam fork and finally I gave up!



4) Stand still and watch

Then as I walked I saw lots of holes like this on the beach. As I had been wondering what was within these little holes, I decided to stay quiet for few minutes and guess what came out!



This little crab came out and says Hello! So adorable and even stand still to pose for my camera!



3) Watch the beautiful sunset
What is a beach trip without watching the sunset view?
I love how the sea wind was blowing on my face and the sound of ocean waves hitting the shore!



6) Take a beautiful jumping photo on the beach with friends!

It might look easy but actually we had to jump like more than 50 times to get a shot like this!

So after visiting the beach, we headed down to a seafood restaurant located along the beach and ordered some fresh seafood. Plenty to cheap seafood to choose from and they make fantastic dinner!

And that concludes my day trip at Bagan Lalang, a truly hidden gem, a place where I want to go back sometime again without burning a hole in my pocket. I highly recommend this place to my oversea friends and family where they can fly down to KL via AirAsia cheap airfare and head straight to this place in less than an hour time! There are plenty of cheap chalets on the beach and they can even stay in Tune Hotel near LCCT !

So why go far when you can fly down to KL not only for shopping but for a beach holiday! And who say Kuala Lumpur or Selangor do not have proper beach for holiday!

Shell Helix Launches New 2012 Range Of Motor Oils and I'm getting my first ride in Ferrari!

*Car for illustration purposes only*

I am a car driver, are you one as well?

If you are, then this is something for you to read because it something you will definitely need to buy & feed your car!

Recently, Shell Malaysia has introduced a new enhanced portfolio of Helix motor oils for 2012 to include a brand new ‘Fuel Economy’ product to meet a growing market demand for higher fuel efficiency and upgraded its two best-selling products to meet the needs of discerning car owners like you and me! The complete Shell Helix product line-up now comprises seven products -- Ultra, HX7, HX7 E, HX7 Diesel, HX5, HX5 E and HX3.

The new Shell Helix HX7 E engine oil is formulated with special synthetic base oils and friction-reducing molecules and has low viscosity at low temperatures. This means that it will be thin enough to flow during morning start-ups and thick enough to protect the engine’s metal surfaces from friction when it is hot. Featuring Shell’s special Active Cleansing Technology, the new Shell Helix HX7 E is also able to effectively remove sludge and resist degradation throughout the oil-change interval. The results are lower fuel consumption and a smoother and quieter drive. For example, the new Shell Helix HX7 E has been proven to offer up to 288 kilometres extra a year in petrol savings. (Compared with 15W-40 conventional mineral oil and based on 16,000km per year for a petrol powered car.)

p/s: No wonder my bf & mum used Shell motor oil for this reasons, according to them it is one of the best in the market... and I am not paid for saying this!

In addition to the new product, Shell Helix Ultra and Shell Helix HX7 have also been further improved and now offer performance that exceeds API SN, currently the highest specification in the market. In extensive and stringent tests, both products have consistently shown higher levels of performance, such as for engine cleanliness, compared with the previous API SM performance standard. They were also able to demonstrate compatibility with certain engine seals to help to prevent oil leaks.

Ms Chia Uen Li, Cluster General Manager, Shell Lubricants SEA-South said the Shell Helix range of motor oils was developed for proud car owners who want only the best for their cars.

Ms Chia said that for many Malaysians, the car is a major investment and, often, an indispensable part of life. At Shell, we have been able to leverage on our technological leadership and our six-decade partnership with Ferrari in Formula One, to develop products and technologies for the race track that could then be transferred to the road. We believe this is why proud car owners choose Shell Helix.

At the sharing session, Ms Chia further said that at Shell also shared that the new Shell Helix range now has a product to cater to every need, which reflects the company’s clear understanding of today’s market. She said while we have further enhanced our flagship Shell Helix Ultra and the Shell Helix HX7 to meet the exacting performance requirements of the new generation of cars, they have also expanded the range with the new Shell Helix HX7 E to meet the needs of those who value fuel economy and efficiency above all.

Group picture.

The retail prices for the new Shell Helix range of motor oils are as follows:

To help consumers better appreciate the benefits of the enhanced Shell Helix range of motor oils, Shell has leveraged on its long-standing technical partnership with Ferrari to launch a new global television advertising campaign called ‘Supercars’ that will transport proud drivers into a world where every car on the road is a Ferrari supercar. The campaign, which is set to debut in Malaysia on April 16, 2012, asks viewers to feel the same level of pride in their own vehicles by choosing Shell Helix.

This Supercars commercial will draw on the emotion of drivers worldwide by showcasing multiple beautiful Ferrari GT cars in stunning locations around the globe. Shell Helix understands the passion people have for Ferrari and want all drivers to feel the same pride as a supercar owner no matter what car they drive.

Thanks to the fantastic people in Shell Malaysia, members of media are giving an unforgettable ride in the Ferrari California on the Sepang race track!

Do you know the Shell Helix Ultra is the only motor oil recommended by Ferrari because it delivers Shell’s ultimate cleansing power, helping engines achieve maximum performance and protection, while maintaining fuel economy.

Sharon & I dressed in red that day , a perfect match for Shell & Ferrari :D

I was excited in getting my ride! Was told must put on helmet for safety reason! You know Ferrari is a supercar, so can expect it is going super fast!

The ride in California Ferrari was amazing!!!
Thanks Shell Malaysia for this opportunity!

In conjunction with this launch, Shell Malaysia also officially launched the 2012 edition of the exciting Shell Helix Global Promotion, renowned for its ‘once in-a-lifetime experience’ prizes.

This time around, five lucky Malaysians will win an all-expense paid VIP trip to Italy worth more than RM20,000 each in the Shell Helix ‘Get Your Heart Racing’ contest.

The contest from March 15 to May 31, 2012, is open to customers who purchase a four-litre pack of Shell Helix Ultra fully synthetic motor oil or from the Shell Helix HX7 synthetic technology range that includes the HX7, HX7 E and HX7 Diesel. Customers have to count the number of Shell Helix words in an image on entry form and submit their entries at selected Shell stations, authorised workshops or by mail with proof of purchase.

Fifteen lucky finalists take part in the fun-filled Shell Helix Challenge in July 2012. Five lucky winners will then get to embark on a trip of a lifetime, which includes a visit to Maranello, the home of Ferrari; shopping in Milan; and catching the Italian Grand Prix at Monza in September.
