4.6.14 My dream bento set ...

ChrisAu 12:08 AM Umatei restaurant , 16 Comments

Somehow I find this is one of the best Bento set I ever had. At a cost of RM25, I got my favourite Salmon Shioyaki , Edamane beans, chicken teriyaki, Agedashi tofu and miso soup. I guess it's quite worthwhile but most importantly, it had all my favourite Japanese food in one bento box. And, I can't help but have to blog this bento set. LOL ....

I had this at Umatei Japanese Restaurant in Permas Jaya, JB.

3.6.14 Marine Elements Body Wash and Intensive Cream

My kid have severe eczema at times and we had brought him to consult two skin specialists, one in Singapore and another one in JB. Most of the skin doctors somehow will prescribed the same medications which includes a steroid cream, though we were asked to use it for short term only. After reading about the negative effects of steroid, I was searching for a non-steroidal but effective products which includes supplements and nutrients. I stumble across Marine Elements body wash and intensive cream from online and thought of giving it a try.

From their website, Marine Elements™ is a range of natural, drug-free skincare products suitable for people of all age with sensitive skin to improve dry, irritating and inflamed conditions. It adds a protective barrier on the skin’s surface that seals the moisture in and keeps the allergens and irritants out, thus reduces the recurrence of dry and problem skin conditions.

Since the products helps in reducing redness, inflammation and itchiness which was present in my kid's condition , I guess this seems a good solution and alternative.i

His condition before using the products

After one day, his skin seems clearer and less red.

After 3 days of using, the lesions seems clearing and he also mentioned its less itchy, though there's still some degree of itchiness.

After a week, I think the products really work as his condition seems clearing though we still have to apply the cream religiously. My wifey even asked me where can we buy the products in JB instead of online.

Somehow , fresh eczema flares out after the second week which also affected other parts of his body and there are fresh redness at the same part. I guess its due to his condition which we have to continue to apply the cream.

Somehow, this is his 'peak' season and we have no choice but to continue to keep him moisturise, clean and keep him in cool places. We are still continuing the products and see if it's help with his fresh lesions. The good thing I like is this is a non-steroid product and it did helps.

2.6.14 Hard selling ...

Sigh ... somehow I got irritated by some sales folks who likes to touch on your personal life in order to make you buy their products. Well, I just join a network marketing company, merely to consume their products as well as slowly build up my network for retirement as a side-income if possible, but somehow my uplines tend to be very aggressive and even mentioned things like you are doing it for your family sake and etc etc ...which they tried to make me feel guilty if I didn't join them for their meetings on my rest days. I have nothing against network marketing as I really likes their products (though not all are good in terms of price) but I tend to dislikes some money-minded sales talk. I prefer to try it out first and if its good, then I introduce to my friends oe relatives rather than like a street medicine peddlers who boasts on about their products. Now I know why most folks tend to run away from network marketers...LOL.

I remember there was a time back in my mid-twenties where a relative tried to sell me insurance. She was so desperate in getting me to buy until even mentioned I will be more filial piety by buying an insurance should anything happens to me. Aiyo..I was like ..come on..do you need to say such thing to sell ? I ended up buying a small portion from her but I bought an insurance from another lady few years later, who was more professional where she explained clearly to me on the pros and cons. I bought almost 7 times more than what I have bought from that relative! Now, I will only look for this lady whenever I wanted to invest.

Anyway, on the other hand, my colleagues got hook up to the set meals in Hard Rock Cafe at Universal Studio, which costs only S$15 for the following and delicious meals.
