Flossing Made Easy with Philips AirFloss

Hands up if you brush, gargle and floss daily! If your response is 'too lazy' or 'no time', the Philips Sonicare AirFloss is perfect for you.


Philips AirFloss makes oral hygiene easier

Removes up to 99% of plaque

Although you brush your teeth twice a day, the bristles cannot get into some hard to reach areas which require flossing. The AirFloss tackles that problem by removing food debris and bacterial plaque which have accumulated between your teeth. People with braces will find this much easier to use compared to normal flossing.


Philips has launched the new Sonicare AirFloss

Based on a survey, 98.3% of Malaysians were in need of oral healthcare D= 94% have gum problems while 7.3% had lost ALL their natural teeth omg


Launch of Philips Airfloss

Even Philips' Country Manager, Mr Muhammad Ali Jaleel admitted that he himself did not floss until he discovered the Philips Sonicare AirFloss. Now he has picked up the habit of flossing regularly as it is so easy and only takes 30 seconds.

The product may seem expensive but fixing the problem costs even more. Prevention is better than cure, right? And you would like to keep all your teeth.


Q&A session at Philips AirFloss launch

Convenient, quick and pain-free

You can fill the AirFloss with 1 teaspoon of water or mouthwash. A rapid burst of air and water droplets will shoot out from the tip. Each burst is a fraction of a second so you will be done in under a minute. Each recharge will last about 2 weeks and it's maintenance free.


How to use Philips AirFloss

Point, Press & Clean

It's easy to use even for children although they may need to learn how to position it properly to aim between the teeth. You can buy additional nozzles for your family too.

The Philips Sonicare AirFloss retails for RM 699. More details on www.philips.com.my

Philips Hairdryer with MoistureProtect & Ionic Care Review

I grew up with a hairdryer which has only 1 button - On/Off. So this is a luxury! 

Philips Hairdryer HP8280

I usually use Thermoprotect and gentle airflow but the strong airflow is super awesome if you're in a hurry. I also use it for my doggies after their shower.

MoistureProtect

This new sensor technology measures your hair temperature and adapts to it to preserve the natural hydration of your hair. Canggihnya.. Obviously, I keep this on all the time so I don't fry my hair lolz

Attachments

The diffuser and concentrator already come in the box so you don't have to spend more money on them.

Let's put it to the test on my hair!

Philips Hairdryer with MoistureProtect & Ionic Care Review

Diffuser

An attachment that diffuses air with 'fingers' to hold your hair in place. You can use this to create volume and enhance curls. You are recommended to use Thermoprotect and gentle airflow with this.

Philips hairdryer diffuser

Start from the roots with slow circular motions. Lift up your hair with the diffuser to add body to limp hair. If you have big waves, curl your hair around the 'fingers' to make the waves more pronounced. For small curls, simply scrunch up your hair from the bottom with the diffuser.

How to use a diffuser

Ta-da! Here is the difference with and without a diffuser. I'm only using the diffuser on the top half as I don't have curls anymore.

Results from using diffuser

Concentrator

As opposed to the diffuser, the concentrator focuses the air into a narrow space for styling control and to give smooth, straight hair. People usually sandwich the hair between the hairdryer and a round brush to get sleek hair but I use my fingers as I don't want to comb through my hair too much. Blow downwards to avoid flyaway.

Ionic Care

This hairdryer already comes with ionic care which IMO should be incorporated into every hairdryer. It prevents static for frizz-free shiny hair.

Lucy (2014) Movie Review

Genre : Action, Thriller
Rating : 5/10


Summary
It is said that humans use only 10% of their brains. So what happens when you use the remaining 90%? Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) is about to find out as she finds herself forced to be a drug mule. Unfortunately, the package breaks and the blue drug leaks into her blood, enabling her to use up to 100% of her brain capacity.


Scarlett Johansson was one of the main reasons I even watched this movie. She's gorgeous! But there were so many scenes showing her boobs and black bra that it was just like they were using her body to get views =/ She played her character as a tough chick well though.


Surprisingly, I can't say the same for Morgan Freeman, whose role as a scientist researching about the human usage of their brain was disappointing. In Lucy, he is a blur and weak scientist which contradicts his God-image in our minds. Also, there were wayyy too many close up shots. So close that instead of listening to what he's saying, I'm counting the numerous moles on his face. 


After her exposure to the drugs, Lucy obtained 'superpowers' including the ability to see things normal people cannot see, control other people and manipulate matter. These sound exciting but there was a lack of action scenes. Too much of boring scientific stuff and a poor mash of other random videos slipped into the movie at countless scenes, resulting in some 'wtf? moments'. Ending is terrible too.


If you're bored and you love Scarlett Johansson, no harm watching this but don't expect too much.

Three Little Birds Cafe @ Sentul, KL

Coffee, beautiful environment and good friends right here in Kuala Lumpur at Three Little Birds cafe.


Three Little Birds Coffee

The concept at Three Little Birds is hipster-ish with unique triangular stools/tables. There is a long table in the middle, several square ones and L-shaped ones attached to the wall (you will see that these are rather lonely). There are also tables situated outside.

Actually this photo turned out quite bad so B&W it is!

And let me just tell you.. The view at D7 is spectacular! It's very zen with pebbled waters, wooden planks and greens. Greens everywhere.



Garden at D7 Sentul KL

As part of the D7 building, they installed these sunken seats, which we thought really looked like an outdoor sauna xD Gosh.. imagine steam coming out as you have your morning coffee.

Green garden outside Three Little Birds Sentul

As much as we wanted to sit in the 'sauna', this outdoor picnic table was more appropriate for the four of us. It was relaxing to be surrounded by lush greens and sipping coffee with the calming absence of noise.

Take a shot from any angle and it'll probably look great. Really.

The Divine Tree #insidejoke actually it's just this tree smack right in the middle of short plants.



Environment at Three Little Birds Coffee at Sentul, KL

We were there slightly before 9am so they only had the breakfast menu available.

Mocha (Dark or Dulcey)

I ordered something which I do not find very often - mocha using white chocolate! I often associate white chocolate to a sickening sweetness but the Dulcey Mocha was not too sweet with a mild taste of coffee, albeit stronger than a latte. I expected the Dark Mocha to have a strong chocolatey taste (which I'm so accustomed to) but it was merely a slightly-bitter version of the Dulcey Mocha. That being said, this mocha is for coffee-lovers, not chocolate-lovers. If you're the latter, you'll be happy to know that they do serve hot chocolate.
Price : RM 13

Egg Mayo Croissant

It looks a bit sad here but rest assured that this is not your usual dry egg sandwich! The creamy egg mayo complimented the crunchy croissant well and tasted quite lovely.
Price : RM 10

Red Latte

As for this glass.. I can only say it's like a fancy teh tarik with less sugar. And it gives you an orange moustache.
Price : RM 11

Smoked Salmon Croissant

Each bite into the toasty croissant revealed the aromatic smokey flavour of the succulent slices of salmon. It had a good balance of salt and flavour, making it just right.
Price : RM 12

Nutella Bao with Coconut Affogato

This item is only available during the weekend. The platter consists of 2 steamed nutella baos and a scoop of coconut ice cream accompanied by bitter affogato. Laden with flavour, it can be heavy but the portion is small enough to be eaten alone.


Nutella Bao with Coconut Affogato from Three Little Birds Coffee

Each bao is stuffed full of rich chocolate paste although it didn't seem to carry the famous nutty flavour of Nutella. Make sure you eat them hot so they're still fluffy!

Cheesecake

Cheesy. So cheesy. And the chocolate. Mmmm.. 'Nuf said.
Price : RM 10

Mini Chocolate Cubes

I'm just gonna call these the mini chocolate cubes, each with a different flavour. The chocolate itself was just yums

Caramel - This was really hard! It was a combination of chocolate and caramel. Towards the bottom, you will also find the familiar taste of coconut. Peculiar but yummy.
Grasshopper - Gross name but omg so good! Mint and chocolate can never go wrong. Delightful treat on warm days with its minty cool core.
Java - Orange and chocolate. Another popular pair. Not bad but I would go for the mint over this.
Ladybug - A layer of sweet raspberry sandwiched between chocolate. The berry taste was strong enough to be tasted even through the chocolate.
Price : RM 2 each

I'm just gonna assure you right now that Three Little Birds Coffee is very Instagram/Tumblr friendly. Everything just automatically looks 10x prettier!

Three Little Birds Coffee review

Until I mentioned that Senri (right) looked like she was eating taufufa at a roadside stall while squatting on the road LOL Which lead to Elie doing this.. Why do I have friends like this?

But okay lar.. She's ladylike sometimes. Sometimes. Not always.

Overall, this place is okay.


Breakfast at Three Little Birds Coffee

Many people have mentioned their 'wet cement' floor which honestly does look wet with its extremely shiny surface.
