[Giveaway] Swisse Multivitamin

Product Review

For all the reasons out there for one to maintain his/her health, there is just one reason that matters for me to stay healthy and vigor. That is for my family, my wife and two girls. Sad to say, it is getting more frequent to hear from friends of heart problems, cholesterol issues, sleep disorder, and the usual pains and aches.

Personally, I am guilty of not taking much supplements or multivitamins to enhance the immunity of the body. Fact is when we grow older, I think the body starts to absorb the nutrients needed slower than before, which is exactly why multivitamins plays an important role.

Swisse is Australian’s No.1 multivitamin brand now in Singapore. To name some of its ambassadors like the former Wimbledon champion and world number one Lleyton Hewitt, cricket legend Ricky Ponting and the Australian national rugby team, the Wallabies.

According to Euromonitor, vitamins and dietary supplement will be expected to be gaining popularity in Singapore mainly due to an aging population, as well as increasing awareness of the importance of maintaining health and wellbeing. Especially so in Singapore society, we all lead a busy lifestyle and it is always so hard to balance work, life and family. In come Swisse’s unique range of vitamins, which helps to supplement what is lacking in our diet, and provide the nutritional difference one needs.

So … I was given the chance to try out the Swisse Men’s Ultivite & Swisse Ultiboost Hair, Skin, Nails.

After 14 days of trying it out. I wouldn’t say I am a “changed” man, but honestly I do feel the energy level different than before. With my line of work, I have to face the laptop most of the time and when I am not, I will be out running around doing events. Usually my energy level will be low and over a few days of stress-filled work days, I will not be able to spend time with my kids, at home or outside. But the past 2 weeks, I was able to have that extra stamina to bring the girls out during the school holidays. Fulfilling my duty as a good father =)

  

Here is the deal, I don’t expect everyone to believe entirely what I have said, so I have 10 sets of Men’s Ultivite & Women’s Ultivite each for 10 of my faithful readers! It would be a great try out for Parents (Mummy & Daddy), especially during this school holidays, you will need all that energy booster you can have to pass through this period. For the singles, you can also win it for yourself or your aging parents, maybe just in time for Father’s Day small treats!

[Giveaway] Alcatel FLASH

Review

Can’t stop counting my blessings! On our recent trip to Malacca, we decided to take the coach from Singapore because we have a huge group of friends (15 of us) traveling together. It would be a great experience for our girls. BUT… how do we keep them entertained throughout the journey? Joey has her phone but Jayne has nothing to keep her occupied.

Behold!!!
We were offered the chance to review the latest phone from Alcatel OneTouch – FLASH. Loaned to us for the entire 3D2N trip!

The very first try with the phone. Shutter is slightly slower but still managed to get a pretty decent photo in dim lights.

 

With its 5.5 inch HD display, it was just the right size for the girls when they were taking photos or playing games throughout the trip. Probably the girls will have to handle the phone with both hands, given Jayne is only 6 years old and she has petite hands. But in my hands, the size feels just right.

 

One charge before the trip, and we were able to use it for the entire day, non-stop games and photo-taking. Living up to the huge 3200 mAh battery life.

Jayne’s view of Malacca.

 

I took over the phone and went on a photo walk with it around the old streets of Malacca. Quite happy with the results.

PS. Father’s Day is just round the corner, if you need a reason to buy something.

Father’s Day Dinner @ Oscar’s

Media Invite

I am going to give it to you first, the verdict: one of the best Buffet Dinner ever!

 

One thing I like about this place is the arrangement of the buffet lines. It is centralized in a circle and within one round, I know what is offered and the dishes are all grouped nicely. No hassle of walking here and there to look for food. I think buffet should be like that, no hassle, just food.

For starters, dip into the various bakery choices like bread or pizzas.

Or simple dishes like this prawn, nicely presented in a wine glass.

Salad is a decorated affair, with option to add your own Parma Ham. So lavish!

 

Next up is the Sushi portion, where I went for the most round, mainly for the fresh salmon sashimi.

Just beside it, the range of Seafood you can expect to have.

And for the Oyster lovers, this will be your favorite! Choose from New Zealand, France, USA, Ireland, etc. Seriously, I didn’t know there are so many types of Oysters! Yummy!

 

A whole array of local delights. Take my advice, don’t ignore this part, I know the Seafood, Oysters and Sushi bar will be the popular choice, but you will missed out on the best if you ignore the local food.

 

Beef Balls deep fried to the liking of many kids.

For the meat lovers, you won’t miss this! Pork Knuckles & Roasted Rib Eye. Remember to take the sauce provided by the side too.

Pardon the quality of the photo, but this fish is also a winner. Baked Butter Fish.

One of the few surprises of the evening was this part where the restaurant serves Indian food. I thought it was a weird choice given the spices and unique taste of the food, but I was so wrong. The Indian food were excellent! Totally loved the different spices used in the dishes and not too strong for a Chinese.

Mixed Vegetable cooked in mild Curry

Five types of lentil cooked in Indian Spices. This goes well with the crackers.

All meals will be incomplete without desserts like cakes, chocolate fondue, etc.

Pistachio Apricot Tart

Chocolate Royal Hazelnut Crunch

Bread and Butter Pudding

For drinks, try out the restaurant’s special cocktail. Sure to enhance the entire dining experience.

And since this is a Father’s Day special meal, all Fathers will be treated to a special glass of Prosecco.

On top of that, Conrad top up the menu with a sumptuous Crab Buffet! My favorite Chilli Crab!!!
