My First Virtual Run

  Hello World! As I was about to write this post, just realize my one and only beloved smartphone (LiRong) is giving up his life.  LiRong has been with me for many years now. I think it's about time for me to let him go peacefully soon. I am trying my best to scout for LiRong replacement. Heol! Why am I all excited to find a new one? Bad Rina! No sense of loyalty at all. huhuhuhuh Anyway, back to my title, my first virtual run.... the story begin when I was sitting on my treadmill after my usual morning walk. I manage to complete on 2km that day. My knee is giving up even at 1km. Adding another 1km was a heavy task for me. Even until yesterday, I feel suffering to the max just to complete 1km. By the way, I did wear a knee guard to protect my bad knee. The pain will suffer throughout the week every time after the morning walk. I have been turning my feeling off. Ignoring the pain for my whole well being sake. I shut myself off and decided not to pamper myself with such at the ...

Aik Cheong Black Drip Series Coffee Review

Aik Cheong coffee is not a foreign brand in Malaysia. They have been established ever since the year 1955. They started a humble wooden shop along Temple Street in the Old Historical Malacca Town. Mostly dealing with trade importing coffee beans from around Asia like Indonesia, the Philippines and South America.

That was those days before I got to know the other expensive brand. I would say, trying to follow the trends to satisfy my throat to those modern days brand. Now that, ageing is catching up to me.

Terminus Quantum-ion Mask Review

  Do you know certain states in Malaysia is currently observing MCO or Movement Control Orders again for 2 weeks? It was announced on the 11th Jan 2021 evening and the official MCO effective 13th Jan  - 26th Jan 2021. Many of us are speculating the MCO will be extended longer especially with the spike of cases and the upcoming Chinese New Year Celebration. I would say, Malaysia is not the only country facing such a situation. The pandemic has been spreading globally. As protection all of us are required to follow certain SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) and wearing a face mask is essential whenever we step outside or in public. Many of the capitalist business owners have taken the opportunity to produce or sells face mask to reap out from the global face mask demand. What kind of face mask do you wear? Which one is good for you? No one can tell you which one is good as many producer or seller will claim theirs are the no/ one and the best. No doubt! I personally don't favou...

Cosmoderm Luminous A Retinol Review

In general, most people are advised to start using retinol in their mid-20s. Why do we need retinol for our skin? Well, this is because collagen and elastin production starts to slow down. Adding retinol into our skincare routine at age of 25 to 30 is the perfect time to slow down the ageing process. So, what is retinol that people are hyping about? In short, retinol is a topical product containing a vitamin A derivative. Technically speaking a type of retinoid which works to increase collagen production. It helps to treat acne, and blackheads and is also ideal to improve skincare texture such as minimising fine lines, and wrinkles and brightening dull skin. Personally, I am a beginner in adding Retinol into my skincare routine. At the age of 47 years old. I guess, am afraid to start one because I read many side effects if use it wrong.  What is the side effect if you use retinol wrong?  Retinols can increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. So, it is advisable to apply th...
