My dear Ms Exotica has reached her 5th birthday recently. And like most cars, Ms Exotica requires more and different kind of attention once she reaches her 5th birthday.
Now, Ms Exotica requires special attention, especially her engine oils which requires oil of premium quality in order to keep her at her best performance. I was advised by a certain Exora expert (Pak Tam Turbo) to take a better care of Ms Exotica.

Remember to always change your engine oil, on time

Pak Tam Turbo mentioned two issues that stay in my mind until now about turbo cars: 1) Change the oils every 5,000 KM for semi-synthetic oils 2) Change the oils every 8,000 KM for fully synthetic oils
The consistent and regular oil change will prolong the lives of the turbo and the engine. Everybody wants their vehicle to last long, right?
With that in mind, please mind the oil change schedule for your vehicle, regardless of what vehicle you own. Be sure to know your oil before putting it inside your precious vehicle, ok.
And here is another choice of engine oils for you to choose from.

Moto7 made its debut in February 2010 with its registration number, 890 642-D and led by Moto7 Distribution Sdn Bhd. Currently, Moto7 MOTO7 manufacture, bottle and distribute lubricant oils of 1L, 3L, 4L, 18L and 209L for all types of vehicles.

• Provide the best protection for the engine operating at high temperature and heavy load
• Contains detergent additives and antioxidants to prevent sediment, varnish, tear corrosion and rust in the engine

• Improved resistance to ensure prolonged life expectancy of engines and other moving parts
• Higher strength of the film coating of lubricating oil for high-temperature protection at all levels
• Multigrade oil with higher viscosity index to maintain stable viscosity at high temperatures

For cars with a turbo engine, be careful not to exceed the miles suggested for the oil change as once the turbo malfunctioned, it might cost you a bomb!

It is better to be cautious and careful than be sorry at the end!

Oh yes.

Here is the price list for the above-mentioned oils for your future perusal.

Don't worry peeps. I will not be sharing the spoilers.

Thanks to the good people in Petron Malaysia for the movie premiere invitation of The Fate of the Furious.
I talked to some of the lovely people of Petron Malaysia (just to name a few - Mr Alvin Wang from Lubes & Specialties, and there was another Mr Alvin from QC, Mr Gary Cheah from Commercial Business, Mr Peh Choon Hiang who is the Marketing Advisor and of course Mr Haron who was so nice to entertain and show me my seats) and they mentioned that they are now rigorously engaging with the social mass via social media platforms and man, they told me that they have lots and lots of interesting events in the pipeline. So, you guys better watch out for their announcements. Petron Malaysia Website | Facebook | Instagram

Dom and Letty were on their honeymoon when Dom met a certain lady named Cipher.

Cipher was a mysterious villainess hacker.

Cipher showed something to Dom and left Dom speechless.

Soon after, Hobbs called Dom to gather his team for a mission in Berlin,

On their way to their meeting place after the mission, Dom turned rogue, forcing Hobbs off the road and took the EMP.

The table is full of computers. Where can we eat our meals?

Turn around and do a plie!

Hobbs was captured and brought into prison where he met Ian Shaw. 

They were about to kill each other when Frank Petty, a leader of the covert ops, rescued both of them and set them on a path of intercepting every Cipher's moves to steal the nuke which includes to retrieve the EMP, the God's Eye, a nuclear launch code and a submarine.

When everybody else believed that Dom has betrayed them, Letty refused to believe the fact that Dom turned his back to his family.

With Cipher and Dom's combined forces, the team must unite to bring home the man who made them a family and stop Cipher from unleashing chaos. 

The normal sightings on Monday mornings when you are late to work

Run or you're it!

Together with Cipher, Dom went on a series of espionage actions throughout the world.

The team tried their very best to fail his moves but always left a step behind Dom.

Why did Dom betray his familia?

What is that smell? Someone farted in here?

Plot: 5.0/5.0. Owh. I gave full marks to the plot. You will understand why I gave such high marks. The movie play with your emotions (I was on a roller-coaster ride of emotions throughout the movie) and a few twists was thrown inside the storyline. It keeps you excited!

Cast: 5.0/ 5.0. Whatever! You can call me biased but the actors do the movie right and their performances were spot-on. You can expect to see some old faces and new casts too!

Will I watch it again: Yes, I will - in the glamorous and amazing glory of 3D IMAX!

And make sure it is Premium Beautiful Corset from your trusted male agent, namely ME.

Beautiful people in corset

Corsets have been around since 1800's. Defined as a 'garment that is worn to hold and train the torso into a desired shape for aesthetic or medical purposes' and there are even emotional purposes that come along with it. 

Premium Beautiful Corset for you

Here are the reasons why wearing corset is very beneficial to your health.

• A corset can correct your posture as far as your heels. If you have heel problems like plantar fasciitis, a corset may be a good corrective step for you.
• A corset aid in posture, which releases the tension some may have in their necks and shoulders. The release of tension can help with headaches and migraines tension can cause, and even stop the aches altogether.
• A corset helps to prevent back injuries and give the back support during long work hours.
• Those who suffer from Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and other hypermobility or connective tissue disorders use corsets to brace the torso and prevent spontaneous movements which can lead to further injury.

Every girl needs one

• Corsets can minimize menstrual cramps - they apply pressure on internal organs which minimizes menstrual pain.
• It also can help prevent some types of abdominal hernias because they relieve pressure on the abdomen.
• Corsets help to correct diastasis recti (read more on the matter here).
• Corsets aid in weight loss by not allowing much expansion of the stomach, which can help to control food portions.
• Over time, corsets can give women an hourglass shape which may be harder to achieve naturally.

That hour shaped figure

So babes and gents, get one for yourself or/ and your loved ones for their health.

Corsets are here to stay. 
There are so many more reasons why corsets are still relevant and the best corset of all time is Premium Beautiful Corset - it has a lifetime warranty that ensures it will last you for a very long time.

The best way to a man's heart is through his stomach, they say. But nowadays, not everyone has the time to learn to cook the right way.

Thermomix TM5 - world's smallest kitchen

Thus, I think Thermomix TM5 is the best gift that anyone can give to anybody. Why? As it is a unique all-in-one kitchen appliance that combines highly accurate electronic weighing scale, a super-fast food processor, and an efficient food mixer, it enhances the way you cook by helping you unlock your full culinary potential while saving your money, time and effort.
How is that even possible you say? Thermomix TM5 is dubbed as the smallest kitchen in the world as it combines all these 12 appliances into one amazing gadget that just takes up slightly more surface area on your worktop than an A4-sized sheet of paper.

1. Weighing
2. Mixing
3. Chopping
4. Grinding
5. Kneading
6. Blending
7. Steaming
8. Cooking
9. Whisking
10. Controlled Heating
11. Stirring
12. Emulsifying

Last week, I was invited to a cooking session with Olivia Tan (Cook With Olivia) using Thermomix TM5. It was an amazing experience as she showed us how to cook a full and yummy chicken rice under 40 minutes, using just one kitchen appliance which is the Thermomix TM5. She even let the Thermomix TM5 smash and grind the ingredients for her. And when the chicken rice was done, she was still looking pretty, minus the occasional oil splash on the apron that always happens to me when I was in the kitchen (which happen very rarely hahaha).

Chicken Rice

Tamarind Prawns

Hokkien Fried Noodles

As she was using three Thermomix TM5 during the 40 minutes of cooking demonstration, she managed to prepare lemonade drink, man tao buns, chicken rice, Hokkien fried noodles and tamarind prawns. And the worktop is not messy at all! The food was all very delicious!
Olivia Tan is an amazing chef and that is why the food was delicious, one would say. Fret not as Thermomix TM5 is revolutionising cooking in the kitchen with technology by going digital, mentioned JC Lim, Executive Director of Thermomix Malaysia. With its Thermomix Recipe Chips that is preloaded with 175 recipes, one will be guided through the steps to produce an amazing feast of dishes, making cooking so easy and effortless - even for people with no culinary experience. So, there will be no more overcooked fried mee hoon or disastrous-taste laksa. Haha.

Olivia is cooking

Together with the demonstration, Olivia Tan's Cooking book was also launched. Entitled "Cooking With Olivia: Chinese Flavours" the book is a collaboration between Olivia Tan and Thermomix Malaysia aims to develop a deeper appreciation of Straits Chinese style cooking which is uniquely flavourful due to the pervasive use of spices and ingredients from the region.
Purchase 'Cooking With Olivia: Chinese Flavours" here
Olivia Tan, who is of Chinese Hakka and Malaysian Nyonya descent, was very proud to have shared her family's favourite dishes in the book and she recreated the authentic taste of the dishes using Thermomix TM5 too!
Some amazing facts about cooking with Thermomix that really strike me fancy are:

• With controlled heating, one will produce a healthy meal as there will be no overheating of oil
• You can cook rice at the bottom layer, steam chicken slices on the middle compartment and prepare steamed vegetables and steamed egg on the top layer, under 40 minutes, using just ONE Thermomix TM5. The best is, your meal is super healthy too!

I can be a great chef with Thermomix TM5

So, when will Thermomix Malaysia gonna give me Thermomix TM5 for a test drive?

The Thermomix is available for RM6,488 (w/GST). Together with the Thermomix, the package includes:

• The official Thermomix Basic Cook Book with 175 recipes
• The Recipe Chip of Thermomix Basic Cook Book for guided-cooking of the 175 recipes
• Free Thermomix e-newsletters
• Personal Thermomix support through a dedicated network of Thermomix Advisors who are also Thermomix customers and super users
