My First Kleenex Ultra Soft Fresh Scented Experience

Hi  everyone! Let's take a pause and look at this bathroom for a minute... 

Ooohhh... ahhhhhh..... Isn't it amazing? So fresh and tranquil! For me, it really is the epitome of a PERFECT bathroom. When I save up enough money for a bathroom renovation, this picture is going to be my source of inspiration :) I've always wanted a nice bathroom, because it can be my very own retreat, right in my own home. A refuge at the end of a hard day, it's where I can kick back, relax and wash away not just dirt and grime, but my troubles too! 

A refreshing surprise from Kleenex :)

I received another package from Kleenex recently, and as you can see, the instruction on the box says "Sniff before you open". Sniff a cardboard box? I thought that was kind of weird, but sniff I did. Surprisingly, I was met with a lovely fragrance :) 

The fragrance intensified when I opened the box to see what's inside...

The Globalist - Vol 3:2012

Introducing my debut in The Globalist Malaysia, an international affairs magazine. Globalist - Vol 3-2012

Mama dan Si Manja 2012 Vol 1

I must say I'm very proud of this project, because it's the first time my work has been published in Malay! Plus, I didn't just work on an article, I worked on the entire book! Yep, you read right, I was responsible for compiling content for this 160-pager, which also involved adapting and translating content from English. I even came up with the title - Mama dan Si Manja! I'd like to thank the publisher, Ace Premier, for their trust in me, and my deepest gratitude goes out to Baby Talk editor Cindy, for suggesting me for the job. The guidebook retails for RM18 and is now available at newsstands and bookstores throughout Malaysia. You can check out the book's table of contents below:

Compost Diary Part 4

Hi everyone! After my successful first attempt at kitchen waste composting, I thought I'd share my second experience with you too, just to prove that it can be done very easily. Without further delay, here's two-weeks worth of kitchen & gardening waste that I've been fermenting with BioSense's effective microorganism-enriched biocatalyst :) 

This time, my fermented kitchen waste smelled quite a bit, maybe because I had chucked in a lot of onions. If you're doing your composting indoors like me, when the time comes to transfer your fermented waste into your burying bin, take it outdoors or a well-ventilated area. Your family & housemates will thank you for it!

Thanks Kleenex!

Guess what everyone! I won the Kleenex Wipes World Hygiene contest! Of course, I wouldn't have been able to do it without my precious pumpkin - Amir! Here he is posing with the Kleenex hamper & five RM10 AEON shopping vouchers we won :) Thanks so much Kleenex! It was great fun!

I'm going to buy Amir something nice with those vouchers. I can't resist that adorable smile :) You can check out my winning blog post here and learn more about Kleenex products here.
