Altuz Academy – The Academy for Dyslexic Children with Orton-Gillingham Approach

As a parents, we always put our children at the first priority. Over the years, I have been knowing friends whom children are diagnosed with Dyslexic. Dyslexic Children have trouble matching the letters they see on the page with the sounds those letters and combinations of letters make. And when they have trouble with that step, all the other steps are harder. Dyslexia can’t be “cured” – it is lifelong. But with the right supports, dyslexic individuals can become highly successful students and adults.
It is known that the lack of expert instruction and proper intervention to rectify the reading problems of dyslexic children before they fall behind in traditional schooling can lead to irreparable harm, low self-esteem and a widening gap that becomes increasingly difficult to close.

This has negative societal implications and it is a crucial responsibility of parents to ensure that their dyslexic children are able to read proficiently to ensure their quality of life.
The Orton-Gillingham Approach – the highly structured evidence-based approach to teaching reading and recognized by the International Dyslexia Association (IDA), is now available in Malaysia with the opening of Altuz Academy, a premier education centre for dyslexia intervention.

All Academic Language Therapists at the academy receive the vigorous training and supervised practicum accredited by the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators (AOGPE) and IDA.

“It is critically important that remedial specialists, educators and teachers working with dyslexic students be vetted, highly trained in an evidence-based approach with oversight and accountability. Literacy training should be comprehensive, accredited by an international organization and include a supervised practicum period. There should also be ongoing professional development for the sake of the children whom they work with,” said founder of Altuz Academy, Dr Choy Su-Ling.

Dutch Lady, the No. 1 Formulated Milk Powder for children brand in Malaysia now offers its highest level of DHA(docosahexaenoic acid) formulation to support children's development in a new pack.

Mr. Tarang Gupta, Managing director of Dutch Lady Malaysia

“Since our inception in Malaysia more than 55 years ago, the company has been committed to nourishing the nation with trusted diary nutrition. In line with this, we have been responsible for introducing key developments in the category for children to Malaysian mothers in 1988. We were also one of the first to introduce '0% sucrose or less sucrose' formulation in our products in 2012 to help address the rising concerns of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Malaysia,” highlighted Mr. Gupta.

He continued: “Today, we are pleased to achieve another milestone in the product category of formulated milk powder for children – providing the highest(2) level of DHA in every serving of Dutch Lady 123. We realize that the toddler years are the most important period for cognitive, emotional and social development; and many parents understand DHA as a key nutrient to support the higher nutrient values for protein, vitamin D3, Vitamin C and more which are essential for a growing child.”
Ashlee Ng, Marketing Director of Dutch Lady Malaysia further explained the significance of having high DHA in children's milk:”60% of our brain is made up of fats and one of the most important fats is DHA that helps a child's brain to develop. DHA is like building blocks for the brain and its importance is even more evident for young children, because their brains are growing rapidly,” said Ng.

Dr Buds Organics Launches Treatment-focused Remedies for Troubled Skin

What do acne, eczema, hair-loss, and dandruff have in common? Aside from being some of the most prevalent skin issues faced today, they are all aggravated by the conventional, chemical solutions available on shelves - even those that are advertised to help. But what can you do? You don’t have a choice but to manage with the hand you're dealt. That answer wasn’t good enough for KK Soo, co-founder of Buds Organics. He decided to put his training as a chemist and experience with creating safe personal care products to the test.
Buds Organics was built out of KK’s love for his children who suffered from eczema during their baby years. The products use only the safest, purest, and most effective natural ingredients. His personal experiences with teenage acne challenged him to explore new avenues to develop safe and effective treatment-focused solutions for some of the most common yet poorly treated skin conditions, especially as his own children approached teenage years. This is the story of Dr Buds Organics.
Fuelled by the fusion of science and nature’s healing power, Dr Buds Organics uses the best certified organic ingredients in its four ranges to treat specific skin conditions: Easy-Clear for eczema, Acne Rescue for acne, Hair Loss Rescue for hair loss, and Dandruff Rescue for dandruff. The ranges go back to basics, using natural ingredients that have long been hailed for their effective healing properties. As science has evolved, these ingredients were clinically proven to be effective to solve these skin and scalp conditions. The range promises some ‘oldies but goodies’ and some unusual plant ingredients. Within the range, you will find amongst others, anti-bacterial Tea Tree Oil, anti-inflammatory Liquorice Extract, soothing and hydrating Aloe Vera and Fructan, and prebiotics to promote growth of good bacteria.
“Parents can empathise with the feeling of trying to bubble-wrap our children from negative experiences even when we know that it’s important that they experience them part of growing up,” KK shared. “As a teenager, my suffering with acne was further frustrated by the lack of visible improvement no matter what I tried. The vicious comments about my skin from my schoolmates, caused me to feel depressed and withdraw socially. The fatherly protective instinct within me wants to make sure that if I can do something about it, I must. Dr Buds Organics’ formulations are my efforts towards that.”

The Celebrity Facial @ Ceramiracle’s The Aesthetics Salon

Good news to all of the beauty junkie! Ceramiracle, the award-winning beauty and nutricosmetics brand founded in 2016, recently made an exciting entrance into Malaysia. We felt honoured and excited to visit Ceramiracle flagship beauty salon in TTDI not long ago. Ceramiracle is a renowned California–based company specializes in innovative ageless skincare solutions, comprising oral and topical skincare products as well as an exclusive facial treatment experience.
Just sharing with you some background about Ceramiracle. In 1991, the founder, Eugene He found himself surrounded by babies when his mother became a nanny. While the shenanigans of the little ones created a chaotic wave of din, Eugene was constantly fascinated by the amazing sight and feel of a newborn’s soft and smooth flawless skin. This was the beginning of his passion-driven journey in unraveling mother nature’s gift of perfect skin to babies. This drive of his stems from one focus in mind – to help men and women achieve younger, healthier and more radiant skin.
It's quite interesting to know that the brand is founded by a young guy, right. ;) It proves that beauty is not limited to gender. So we paid a visit to Ceramiracle in TTDI on a sunny afternoon. As usual, the TTDI business district is fulled of cars hence we had drove a round to find a car park. Then, we walked towards the salon accordingly.
We were greeted by the friendly staffs and offered a seat at The Ageless Café which is at a corner of the salon. We love the sun-filled, airy spaced Ageless Café , they serve over 20 all-organic brews boasting herbs, fruits, tea leaves and coffee beans sourced from all over the world to deliver the double benefits of beauty and wellness. The relaxing ambience cool us down after the walk under the warm weather.

Esquire Kitchen @ Subang Parade - Newly Relocated and Good Value Set

It's all began from 1974. During those years, a group of intellectuals from China got together every weekend for intellectual discourse on top of a bookshop at Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. At these gatherings, this small group of scholars were served with home-cooked food by their wives while enjoying their tea and intellectual conversations. As time went by, these gatherings started to draw in bigger crowd. It became apparent that its popularity was due to the delicious “home-cooked” food that was served! This prompted the group of scholars to start a restaurant that served their home-style Shanghai and Sze Chuan food. The 1st Esquire Kitchen Restaurant was conceptualized in 1974. From its humble beginning in a single shop, Esquire Kitchen has grown to more than 10 restaurants at reputable shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.
This July, Esquire Kitchen has opened it's newly relocated outlet at Subang Parade, offers the same great standard. In conjunction with this, Esquire Kitchen outlet at Subang Parade is having lunch and dinner sets buy 3 free 1 promotion in the month of July 2018.
The happy lunch sets start from RM12.20 to RM15.60, diners can choose from the selected main course and it comes with a free hot tea. Not only that, diners get to enjoy 30% off for double boil soup or Shanghai fried dumplings with any order of the set lunch.

The happy lunch sets promotion is valid from Monday to Friday, 11am to 5pm, it is not applicable on public holidays.
Happy dinner sets start from RM 17.60, where the meal comes with a free iced lemon tea or herbal tea. Diners can also choose to add on RM 3 for a tau foo fah or kwai lin gou.

The Happy dinner sets promotion is valid from Monday to Friday, 5pm to 9.30pm, it is not applicable on public holidays.

It's such an great deal, no wonder it was a full house during our visit recently. We love the fusion of Heritage Chinese Cuisine with a Malaysian Touch at Esquire Kitchen. It has always been a taste of home-style cooking, boasting recipes of home-styled Shanghai and Sze Chuan specialties that have been handed down from generation to generation.

‘Beat the Heat’ @ COWAY Run 2018

It's very warm lately, let's ‘Beat the Heat’ @ COWAY Run 2018. Held for the second year, COWAY Run 2018 comeback to be held on 7 October 2018 at MAEPS, Serdang; where once again the race towards a healthy and pure lifestyle is placed on the pedestal with a ‘cool’ theme and a charity element!

For the first time, COWAY Run 2018 adopts a theme “Beat the Heat” - where a “cooling” run course is designed to allow sprinters to run comfortably and as coolly as possible.
Elaborating on the inspiration behind this year’s theme was Mr. Kyle Choi Ki Ryong, Managing Director of Coway (M) Sdn. Bhd. who said, “Living in a tropical country has its perks, but perhaps the heat and humidity from running can be a deterrent for many as it accelerates fatigue and dehydration. Thus with COWAY Run 2018, we aim to create a cool and comfortable experience for our runners to ‘Beat the Heat’ through an exciting route.”
(L-R) Mr Kyle Choi Ki Ryong, Managing Director of Coway Malaysia; Mr James Park, Guest of Honour & Director of Global Business Division, Coway Korea HQ; and Mr Ryan Jung Tae Seung Marketing Director of Coway Malaysia.

Designed to keep runners cooling throughout the race, the route is set up with water sprinklers, mist tunnels and wind tunnels that would add an element of surprise for the runners.

Furthermore, COWAY Run 2018 will also be channelling proceeds from the run to support its annual CSR initiative, the Happy Water Project – where indigenous communities are supplied with clean and pure water.

Since the very beginning, the nation’s leading water specialist is dedicated to promote good health for consumers by providing clean and safer water, reminding them of the importance of staying hydrated.

New! Moist Diane Perfect Beauty Series @ Watsons

What makes Asian hair different? Asian hair is often thicker but less dense than Caucasian hair and can also be prone to frizz. This can sometimes make it hard to manage. The good news is that the right washing and care can bring even the dullest and most tangled of Asian hair types into tip top shape. So how should you take care of your hair in a hot and humid environment all year round. Moist Diane, Japan’s leading silicone-free haircare brand, has combined the wonders of nature and the powers of science to launch its new Perfect Beauty series, a renewal of their signature Argan Oil series. Since the launch of the range in September last year in Japan , a million bottles were sold in just ten days! A renewal of their signature Argan Oil series, the new mega launch comprises six shampoos and six treatment products that are enriched with Organic Moroccan Argan Oil and Customised Beauty Keratin to address different hair concerns of Asian women.
“We are pleased to have one of Japan’s most sellable brand in hair care available at Watsons. At Watsons, we constantly pay attention to the needs of our customers and one of the top concerns of our customers are getting the right hair care treatment. With a vast number of brands available to address hair care needs, it is important that our customers can differentiate which hair care brand would meet their specific needs. Moist Diane’s new Perfect Beauty range addresses the needs and requirements of Asian hair, where our environment tends to cause the build-up of sebum on our scalp, causing oily, dull, limp or less-than-beautiful hair. With the innovative formulation from Moist Diane which is not chemically harmful to the hair, our customers will be able to choose from a vast range six shampoos and six treatment products that suits their hair care needs. It is no doubt that when your hair looks good, it personifies inner confidence and we standby with Watsons motto of “Look Good, Feel Great”, said Caryn Loh, Managing Director of Watsons Malaysia.
The new Perfect Beauty series by Moist Diane consists of six shampoos and six treatment products that target different hair types and concerns of Asian women. Other than being siliconefree, the newly formulated series is colour-safe and sulphate-free (except Extra Fresh variant). In addition, all the products are enriched with the goodness of ECOCERT certified Organic Moroccan Argan Oil and customised with Beauty Keratin in an elegant and pretty pump packaging designed with the brand’s trademark diamond shaped pattern that resembles a luxurious fragrance bottle.

“We are grateful to be able to launch Moist Diane in Watsons. As we all know, Watsons is rated as Asia’s No. 1 Health and Beauty retailer, we have trusted and valued Watsons support for the brand. When we first launched Moist Diane Argan Oil Shampoo series back in 2015, our distribution in Watsons started at just 180 stores. As of today, we have expanded to more than 450 Watsons stores nationwide. I am excited to announce the new series of Moist Diane - the Perfect Beauty range, the renewal of the signature Moroccan Argan Oil series”, said Dexter Lee, President of Mandom Malaysia.
During the Moist Diane Perfect Beauty media launch event at the Forum, KL, the winner of “She Is Diane” was selected among social media influencers who had participated in the “search” where each influencer had to upload at least two Instagram postings of them participating in a positive passionate cause, for instance, volunteering in charitable, environmental and educational causes after they have used the new Perfect Beauty range by Moist Diane, within a time period of ten days. They were then required to share with their fans on what it meant to have ‘Perfect Beauty’ – beauty that is inside and out.

International Mojito Day at WIP

I felt in love with Mojito when I first tried it out many years ago. Mojito is a delightful drink that I enjoy a lot. From its timeworn origins as a panacea for shipboard ailments, the humble Mojito, popularized by Ernest Hemingway, has gained immense popularity in recent years, but nowhere more so than at WIP in Bangsar Shopping Centre, where you can find the largest selection of Mojitos in KL.
Thanks to their unstinting attention to the Cuban cocktail, WIP has long been considered the best place around to get a refreshing, perfectly made Mojito. This year, guests were greeted with an explosion of colours and serenaded by Latin percussionists as WIP celebrated World Mojito Day in true Havana style on 11th July 2018.
For those new to the Mojito, WIP conducted a Mojito masterclass, displaying the dedication and effort that goes into every cocktail. The stars of the night were of course, the rainbow of Mojitos exclusive to WIP including the Mango Lychee, Strawberry Coconut, Tumeric Tango, Bora Bora, Dragon Eye and Ananas.
When commenting on the house speciality, Brian Choo, Executive Director of the SOUL Society Group said, “A fruity Mojito is always refreshing in hot tropical weather. Furthermore, the flexible nature of the cocktail allows us to experiment and come up with delicious new recipes using local ingredients and the wide of selection syrups, purees and juices available at the home of the Mojito.
