*Celebrating Sport Elegance for 75 Years!

Just recently, i went to The Gardens @ MidValley to buy myself a brand new fragrance! Well that's one of my hobbies actually. Trying out new fragrance every month or so!

This time around, well it was my birthday and the best part of it all is LaCoste is celebrating its 75th year anniversary and came out with a Collectors Edition to their "Essential" - LaCoste fragrance. And this was my birthday present to myself.

Being the person who i am, i won't buy a new fragrance just because i want to, but if only it suits me and it satisfies me to the max. Very picky i know, but LaCoste's Essential was my choice for this month of July 2008. Happy Birthday Shaz!!! (that's me...oh!).

Essential is one of LaCoste's classic fragrance that not only depicts a men but also his lifestyle. You can smell that classic and elegant feeling once you have it on you or even smell it as a person who sprayed it on them and passes by.

LaCoste essential has a fresh feel to it, yet but the classic feeling too. From other reviews i've read regarding the "Essential", I've been inspired by their comment on the essential having a "citrus" kind of smell. There are many kinds of fragrances out there, it really depends which type you like but the most common type is the citrus and sweet smell.

The one thing that's sure to strike you at first application of the fragrance on your skin is a burst of intense green freshness - yes, and i mean it! The composition of the fragrance has this feel of "Tomato Leaves" and not forgetting "Citrus" - fruit and water as well.

Awww, so sweet! Yes i'm feeling the sweetness in me right now after applying the perfume but let's not also forget the other feel of the fragrance where it has this Black Pepper feel to it giving it a spicy, intriguing sweetness. Different than any of my other fragrances but it's a challenge for me to try the Essential by LaCoste.

What's so GREAT about this fragrance is its innovative patented "Time Release Technology" in which LaCoste Essential benefits from as you are able to "re-animate" the scent (because sometimes you may feel that the fresh notes fades off too quickly. So the next best thing is this Time Release Technology where you can simply re-animate the scent by breathing on the skin, making the scent be on you and makes you feel and smell great for a longer period of time than a conventional fragrance.

Alright, it's your turn to get a glimpse and purchase the limited edition 75th Years of Sport and Elegance "LaCoste - Essential" which is only available from 15th July onwards till stock is finished. So, better get it before its too late. I have to admit the bottle does look nice with curves that's far different from any of my other fragrances here at home.

P/S: I brought the fragrance over to the office right after i purchased it @ The Gardens, Faraa our Content Editor @ XFM LUVES the smell! Hahaha, now i'm no longer known as the person who just loves to eat, but who loves to explore more on fragrances, gadgets and other stuffs! Long live my stomach...diet diet diet...yes it's about time!

A great event is when Microsoft holds the TECH.ED SEA conference and sees participants from throughout the region. But it became a Success Story when it is held back to back consecutively in Malaysia for the past few years and especially when over 3,000 developers and IT Pros converge to be a part of the experience last 11th August 2008.

The doors opened at the KLCC Convention Center giving entry to participants from 41 countries throughout the region and speakers from various different entities. Imagine what can you learn or find at this convention if you're a technopreneur, IT administrator, software developer, software architect. With so much you can learn and share the future might just be here for you.

I was there for a few days, the keynote speech was amazing! This was my first Microsoft TECH.ED SEA conference that i've been to, i have always wanted to go to the previous ones but failed to do so. But believe me i've learnt so much from the opening ceremony, the speeches shared by the speakers and not forgetting mingling around with the pros!

So if you missed out on this one, and you are one of the above or just a student! (Yess...students too are there to have a feel of what TECH.ED is all about and to learn stuffs), yes one of my friends Wen Loong (from Taylors College Subang Jaya) was there for the event and he gained so much from the conference as he was part of the experience during this 4-day event - Well, only one thing can be said if you missed out. Be sure to come to next year's TECH.ED SEA 2009.

Tech.Ed SEA 2008 featured more than 100 breakout sessions across 12 key tracks, namely Architecture, Database platform, Developer tools, and languages. Not forgetting Office & Sharepoint, Management, Security, SOA and Business Processes. Web and User Experience, Windows Client, Windows Mobile and Embedded, Windows Server Infrastructure and Unified Communications.

If you're an IT student and are studying any parts of these components you will simply love this conference as it helps to share with you the current innovation and technology across the platforms and programs.

Now, if that's not enough! During the press conference it was mentioned by Tyson Dowd (Senior Director, Malaysian Software Economy @ Microsoft Malaysia) that there's even Instructor-Led labs and Hands-on Lab sessions where you are able to evaluate products, smart technologies and computing practices from both Microsoft and a number of its most important industry partners.

Awesome innit!!! - Well over the four days conference, key speakers from Microsoft's top executives and product team members were there to share with attendees of the conference. Who are they you may ask! Haha, none other than Ward Ralston (this guy is funny! Really made the conference hall LIVELY), Steve Riley, Joel Oleson, Tony Krijnen and Loke Uei Tan.

All-in-all, i am pretty much sure those of you who are in college have heard of Microsoft Tech.Ed before as Microsoft did some small based seminars, hands-on lab sessions and exhibitions in several colleges in Malaysia to educate students on some of its products and technology. Most of these are conducted by Microsoft and helped by students from participating colleges / Uni and best of all is that it's FREE!

See you next year for Microsoft TECH.ED SEA 2009 :-)

Lee Chong Wei - He Won The GAME!!! Yes, i know he lost in the finals round for Beijing Olmypic Games 2008 in Badminton. But Seriously i think he won! YES... not by points but by hearts.

Lee Chong Wei, our badminton player - lost the game in the eyes of others but in the eyes of us Malaysians, we should be proud of him and yes he won the game in our hearts.

Why? C'mon... he has brought Malaysia to such a great length in the Beijing Olympic Games 2008 in Badminton, Imagine how many millions of people are watching the game from all around the world??? YES ALOT! He has perhaps put Malaysia in the spot where more and more people notices Malaysia as another location for their holidays for the upcoming months! Planning a holiday to Malaysia which in the end helps our economy? Doesn't it... it helps us in a whole by putting Malaysia on the map! Congrats Chong Wei for getting us this far!

Shaz baru ajer balik dari Jalan Damai di Kuala Lumpur di-mana terletak beberapa restoran morroccan, arabian - kebanyakannya semua middle eastern cuisine. Sebenarnya saya tak pernah ke sini sebelum ini, kawan saya Menz yang jemput saya ke Jalan Damai minggu lepas ke-sini! Apa lagi... jom makan makanan Middle Eastern la... Lagi-lagipun ia harijadi rakan se-kelas saya daripada kolej LimKokWing.

Happy Birthday Zin and yea...let's have a look at the photos over dinner with Anna!

Kalau anda nak cuba makan di-sini (Restoran Al-Maghreb) ataupun di mana mana restoran middle eastern, datanglah ke Jalan Damai, Ampang - berhampiran dengan Ampang Park. Belok kiri sebelum Kedutaan Perancis (selepas Automobile Sales).

Ok - Nasi Lemak nie bukan daripada restoran di Jln. Damai, tetapi daripada Straits Cafe di Centerpoint - Bandar Utama! Wahhh SEDAPNYER...

Sekali lagi, tiba masa untuk kita memperkuatkan lagi pengetahuan kita dalam Bahasa Inggeris! Kerana, bila kita mula bekerja... Bahasa Inggeris di-guna untuk semua bahan komunikasi antara satu sama lain. Jom kita ber-bahasa Inggeris!

Johnson & Johnson or better known as J&J is a reputable company with much knowledge on healthcare products and services to advance the health and well-being of people. J&J is not only all about body wash, lotions and all... but they have attributed into Facial Care and not forgetting Vision Care. Thus for this time around J&J Vision Care Malaysia, being a proud partner of the Malaysian Olympic team, has taken the initiative to care for the vision health of athletes.

In conjunction with the Beijing Olympics and J&J being one of its Worldwide Partners, J&J is using this "improving vision skills programme" that draws on the expertise of sports vision experts who also work with top flight athletes including professional baseballers in the United States. Yes, some of you may have thought that atheletes have full fledge 20/20 eye sight, well some of them don't... some do wear glasses and most wear contact lenses for their daily activities.

This time around, how would one really know which contact lenses is best for him/her for the game, how can one train his/her eyes to perform better and act faster. Well J&J has the answers for us all.

J&J continuously supports athletes globally for this Beijing 2008 Olympics Games, J&J cares for the vision health and needs of our atheletes thus providing eye screenings and vision correction and also visual acuity training using the specialised and internationally used Visual Performance Enhancement for Athletes software programme. The software helps train specific skills for specific sports such as focussing on a small distant target (shooting and archery) and peripheral vision (swimming).

I was just there for the event at Ikano Power Center recently when J&J Vision Care launched its program to educate the public about the importance of eye examinations also to introduce their programme for the athletes. For those using contact lenses, having the right power in your lenses and the right fitting lenses with the most comfortable wear MATTERS!

Having the right power in your lenses and the right fitting lenses with the most comfortable wear MATTERS! This time around J&J Vision Care tries to help atheletes globally (those who are participating in the Beijing Olympics) to train themselves with the pre-existing training programme.

J&J Vision Care are working locally with 8 Malaysian Atheletes namely Daniel Bego (swimming), Leong Mun Yee (diving), Elaine Teo & Che Chew Chan (taekwondo), Hasli Izwan Amir Hassan (pistol shooting), Cheng Chu Sian, Muhd Marbawi Sulaiman & Wan Khalmizam Wan Ab Aziz. Imagine what a better pair of
eye sights can do to our atheletes in achieving their goals and medals this olympic season!

Each athelete has been given eye screening and free daily disposable lenses (for those who wear contact lenses) and some are given advice on specialised sports optical equipment (prescribed by an optical outlet that specialises on sports eyewear). Eye health advice is given to the athletes especially relating to contact lenses. Johnson & Johnson Vision Care realises athletes are very busy and often tired so daily disposable lenses removes the need to clean lenses and avoids bacterial and chlorine contamination for athletes who swim or dive with lenses.

Let's hope for the best for our atheletes for this Beijing 2008 Olypic Games!

That's all from me, Shaz - signin out! Peace Y*all.
