The invite for the launch of Honda Malaysia’s latest addition of Completely Knocked-Down vehicle – Honda Jazz CKD Petrol came just one day ahead of it’s event, held at Eastin Hotel on a fine Thursday morning. I couldn’t resist not going since it’s related to Honda Jazz (my dream car turned current car) and the fact that the email title mentioned something about “breaking news announcement”.
So what was the breaking news exactly? Honda Malaysia set a new benchmark by launching the new Honda Jazz CKD 1.5L Petrol which is fully assembled locally at a very affordable on the road (OTR) with insurance price tag of RM74,800.00. I still remember 10 years ago where Honda Jazz was priced at RM104k. It has always been my dream car but it’s one overpriced hatchback car. Honda Jazz to me is a luxury hatchback car as it only comes in 2-variant – 1.4 or 1.5 either IDSI or VTEC. Now, all Honda Jazz comes in just one variant – 1.5 i-VTEC.
This is the first car in Honda Malaysia’s history that is priced below RM75,000, especially if it’s a Honda Jazz. Based on a projected 90% loan payable over a 9-year period, the monthly repayment for a Honda is as low as RM755. Honda Malaysia anticipates that the CKD Jazz Petrol can attract a much broader customer base including fresh graduates and young executives. Bad news for me cause every car on the road will be a Jazz! LOL.
From my usual Kinokuniya rounding one fine Sunday morning 2 weeks ago, I spotted quite a few good magazine supplement deal but I only picked up two magazine this time round. I was really looking forward to see something for Malaysia Tatler but sadly the day I went is still 30th June. Malaysia Tatler don’t put up their magazine for sale earlier than what was scheduled.

After nearly a month of teasing in Facebook on the upcoming exclusive single brand box, finally the Limited Edition KOSÉ X Vanity Trove box reaches me end of last week.
This box would not be my first single brand beauty box that I received before. My first one would be the Astalift box back in March 2012 from Vanity Trove Singapore. To be frank I hated it because that time there’s no beauty box in Malaysia and I was really looking forward to try many different brand through beauty box. Plus I was still new in this beauty world. However I totally changed my perception on the second single brand box. It was the Kanebo box and God I love it!
Two months ago I was wondering about single brand box cause I kinda miss receiving such box once in a while. So when I found out that KOSÉ is partnering with Vanity Trove for their July box, I can’t wait!
Here’s the box. I know what you want to say but hang on to your horses and let me tell you what I think. Grandma story coming up!
As this is a special single brand collaboration box with KOSÉ, this time there is a special branding on top of the box. Vanity Trove should do a belly band instead of double sided tape because that thing keep peeling off. But then…it doesn’t really matter 😀
My understanding of Neesya started as far as a few months ago when my friend was looking for some bloggers for an upcoming skincare launch. Fast forward a little bit and I attended Neesya’s media launch held last week.
The company behind Neesya is Skinworkz Sdn Bhd. It is a 100% owned Malaysian company and Neesya Skincare Range of Beauty Products is Skinworkz first skincare and it is also Malaysia’s first skin radiance specialist brand that are able to promise to help users in achieving skin clarity, even skin tone as well as radiance.
I find that a skincare range by Malaysian, formulated and manufactured by Malaysian intrigued me very much. Maybe because I didn’t get the chance to approach this closely to a newly launched brand before, I personally find Neesya is quite interesting.
The person behind Neesya is Chris Yong, the CEO of Skinworkz. I had the opportunity to have lunch with Chris an hour before the launch event together with his elite team which you will be very surprised to know that they are all men! Through the chat at lunch and during the launch, I can see the passion within Chris. He is passionate with what he do, with his brand and with his products.
An interesting topic of discussion two days ago at Mix Breakfast Show with Rod and Sarimah whereas they discussed about who is messier. The men or the women. I couldn’t help but to wonder myself who I think is messier while driving. I was so deep into my own thoughts that I almost forgotten to concentrate on driving.
I realized I have a very good example in the office :P. The messy table (top photo) you see below used to be my place until I was moved to a smaller space (bottom photo) to be with the rest of the team. I am a private person outside so I like to keep everything either in the drawer or bring it home. Smaller space means I would need to be super tidy otherwise I wouldn’t have space!
P/S: My colleague would probably kill me after this lol!
