My review on Panasonic quick hair dryer model EH-ND40-A655

I am using this hair dryer each time I am traveling. Bought it last 2014 for my own personal birthday gift to myself. Almost 4 years already with me.
Detachable nozzle.
Overview on speed and heat selections.
3 heat selections.
2 speed selections.
Back view.
My travel iron bag package.
What I like on this hair dryer:
  • It is foldable handle. A feature that is required from me to be able to fit in my luggage.
  • It has 3 temperature selections.
  • It has 2 speed selections.
  • Cool air selections.
  • Power: 1600W
  • Healthy & Set mode of 50°C
  • Automatic overheating protective device
  • Healthy quick drying nozzle
  • Part where in enable the hair dryer to be hooked

What it lacks of:
  • Nanoe technology. Unlike all Panasonic high end hair dryer.
  • Tourmaline and ceramic technology—key for smooth strands
  • A "cool shot" button. The "cool shot" is a button usually on the handle of the dryer that will shoot cool hair out, which will help you set your hair style, particularly for bangs and flips.

Verdict:
Regardless this hair dryer does have lacks of certain features that I need, it is convenient enough to dry my wet drench hair. Despite it takes longer time since it is quite low in power. 

The automatic overheating protective device function does help a lot in drying process. Also in protecting the device itself. Where this technology is not in my previous Vidal Sassoon hair dryer model S108. Which makes it grow hotter when after using it for more than 5 or 6 years (from 2009 until 2014/2015) [3]. 

By the way, do make sure to use a good quality surge protector  when using hair dryer with it [4,5]. As surge protector is better to be used on electronic devices compare to power strip [6]. Since surge protector able to protect your device from power spike. Does assist in reduce from any mishaps when using heavy duty hair dryer where could leads sparks generated from overloaded power which can cause fire hazard when the device is connected on a normal power strip or even wall plug that have no surge protector function. Like what happen to one of my girlfriend last year. Which she put blame on her power strip that have no surge protector function. Where it is actually user fault for not choosing good match on device and connector to use the device 😏.

You can learn more on how and type of surge protector suitable to your hair dryer and other electronic and electrical appliances when you join my short course that I will conduct later.

Till then, be safe when drying your hair.

My review on 360 degree quick multi-directional iron from Panasonic

Bought in 2010 after make a research on good steam iron. Since that time I have the luxury to splurge on such ironing assist appliance for my daily usage. Especially in making my ironing works fast on having wrinkles free effect on my working clothes.


The battered look of my good old iron assist appliance. Since I have use it on studded and bejeweled clothing without protection layer 😜.

It is 220 - 240 V. Power is from 1850 to 2200 W.

Verdict:
This iron does deliver as per what in the specification that claims it able to cut ironing time to 25% [1].
It does allow me to glide across any fabric in any directions.
Since the sole plate has balance edges on both front and back ends, which enable me to just slide the iron forwards and backwards without need to lift the iron [1].
It is a good worth of investment for me. Just that I need additional sole plate cover to protect it from my studded or bejeweled clothes 😅.
I am still satisfied using the iron despite it is already reaching almost 8 years using it.

Till then, have fun in ironing your clothes daily 😍.

I make sure to put on moisturizer on my face after the facial session.

Till then, have fun in taking care your facial skin condition.

My early morning breakfast of keropok lekor Terengganu via my travel cooker

I received keropok lekor Terengganu from my girlfriend last Monday. I decided to cook it last night. But I slept on while waiting for it to defrost. Since I am awake by 1 am and it is already defrost plus I am starving, I decided to cook it.
The look of the cooked keropok lekor Terengganu.
It is more like grilled keropok lekor instead of deep fry.

My review on Kenwood Multi Cooker CP 335 model

I bought this multi cooker last time when I am renting in Taman Tun Dr Ismail in 2010. That time, the house have no cooking appliances such as stove and gas tank. Only have 2 door fridge, kettle and sandwich maker.
Since I have been cooking in my previous rental place, would be hard for me not to be able to cook even burger patty. Therefore, I decided to look for a multi cooker for such purpose. That time, I went to Tropicana Mall, which is just less than 10 km from my rental place. After looking around, I decided to buy this Kenwood Multi Cooker model CP 335.

Specification of the Kenwood Multi Cooker model CP 335 [1]:
- Able to fry, steam, grill, make steamboat
- Capacity: 3.8 liter
- 1500 - 1730 W

My dear old yet still working Kenwood Multi Cooker CP 335.

Verdict:
The device works well. Just that have to monitor the heat strength. Especially when cook rice. Since it has no timer like normal rice cooker. If not, you will end up with burned rice. It is also very tricky to cook rice. Since the device is wider than normal size. You have to be creative to cook rice with it.
I have cook rice, fried rice, make chicken porridge, fried burger patty, make French toast, fry keropok, fry keropok lekor, make steamed fish Black Pomfret (bawal hitam) and many more [2].
Overall, I am really satisfied with my purchase. The device still works properly until now. Almost 8 years already. It does helps a lot each time when the gas tank empty at home.

Now, this model of multi cooker no longer being produced. Already obsolete and replaced with newer and more sophisticated ones.

Till then, have fun using your kitchen assist appliance to cook at home 😉.

Making herbal drink using my good old mini multi cooker

I think I bought this multi cooker last 2014. Cause I do remember one of the student in my lab using it to cook maggie.
Since I am not feeling too well this morning with bloating stomach and cramps all over my body, I decided to make a herbal drink to ease the pain.
Below is how I make my herbal drink.
I boil water using my mini multi cooker. Then I pour the hot boiled water on the herbs in my mug. Then I add some honey. After that, I just need to wait the herbal drink to cool off before start consume it.
Please take note that you need to use non metal material when making a herbal drink. That is why I didn't boil the herbs inside the multi cooker. I just use the hot boiled water from it. Then mixing the herbs in my mug and my plastic spoon.

Till then, have fun in making herbal drink at home 😉.

It is really frustrating to know what residents think of residents community (RC)

In Taman Pulai Hijauan, residents community (RC) falls under category JKP (Jawatankuasa Persatuan). It is totally different from JMB and JMC. And RC do not receive any allowance from doing all the works, at all. RC even have to use our money first.

The residents treat us like we are in Angelina Jolie charity level 😏.
To be frank, most RC were employed or work. And those who have their luxury time, do business would rationally tend after their more profitable projects and jobs than to tend after residents by being a RC.
That is why we are unable to attend any personal request from residents immediately. Since RC works in a group. And we need to move together as a team in assisting residents in our residential area.

Therefore. please respect RC as normal human being. RC are not even a Superman. Regardless I prefer to be Hulk 😊.
Till then, please be considerate and have compassion on RC.

Glad that I have resign from being one.

My late supper with mint drink and maggie

I am feeling hungry around 11.40 pm last night. Since I have supply of fresh mint and a maggie, I decided to make do of them.
Start with mint drink.
Then cook the maggie within 10 minutes using my travel cooker [1].
I know maggie is not good for health. It just that I am craving for it. So, I end up eating it for my late supper. Regardless, I was left full and satisfied. And manage to get a very good sleep when fall asleep around 2 am plus 😂.
Now thinking to eat papaya to detox the last night supper food 😅.

Till then, have fun enjoying your late supper at night .

Gemuk the cat burial in FKE today

Gemuk the cat is found dead this evening. Around 5 pm. 
He found dead in the drain near his usual hangout place.
We decided to start his burial immediately around 5.40 pm.
We start digging in area outside of our lab area. But the soil too hard and too many rocks in it. 



Which leads us to the land area down below.







Start the burying process.





Many thanks for those who involved in the burial process. Also the shovel lend by one of the lecturer here. Without all of you (almost 5 people), this cannot be done within 34 minutes.

Till then, please be careful when digging out to bury nice stray cat near you.
