Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Now is the time to savor moon cakes that come in intricately designed boxes for 2 pieces or 4 pieces of moon cakes purchase. In the above video, I was having take-away and dined at Little Nonya, Queensbay Mall. Then it was time for some moon cakes shopping. Here in Penang, there is no free sampling, unlike those in Singapore.

Wikipedia defines The Mid-Autumn Festival, (simplified Chinese: 中秋节; traditional Chinese: 中秋節), also known as Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated by China and many East and Southeast Asian people under the influence of China. It is the second-most important holiday after Chinese New Year with a history dating back over 3,000 years, when the Emperor of China worshipped the moon for bountiful harvests.

For the above Saturday's instagram pictures, here's to wishing you "Happy Saturday Blessings - May the Sweetness of God's Grace touch and bless you in a special way."

That's it for this week's post. Stay safe, stay healthy and most of all, stay HAPPY!

Above is my recent order of Atomy products; consisting of Atomy Absolute Cell Active of 6 pieces. Plus 2 nice baby-pink boxes of mooncakes with 4 flavours, 2 boxes of Puer Tea and Absolute Spot Out Cream for my business partner, due to advance aging. Check out the cool video above.



This video above was taken before the pandemic, during happier times, where people could roam around freely without wearing a mask nor fear of contracting Covid-19. It was taken during a performance by Caucasians, for obvious reasons, as it was an international musical entertainment during our short holidays.



The afore video was shot at Gurney Hall in Gurney Plaza, a premier shopping mall in Penang. See the healthy food by Mr. Koo tonic (a medicinal substance taken to give a feeling of vigour or well-being) soup. Apparently the herbs and chicken drumstick are double-boiled to infuse the flavors into the water to become delicious soup.

Happy Mid Autumn Festival. One can only order at the most 2 boxes of mooncakes each. It has cappucino, low sugar lotus seed, pandan and lotus seed with an egg yolk flavors. I purchased 2 boxes to give to my mom and church friend, and also to myself. It is freshly made with care in Malaysia, with quality control. Each box is about RM 83, which is almost double that in the market. But for the convenience of delivering right to my place, I don't mind paying premium price for this.

Here is a snapshot of the Atomy Absolute Cellactive set,retailing for RM 880. The market price for similar products using SK-II or other branded cosmetics would have been in the range of RM2k or more. But at Atomy, it is only RM 880, which is a great bargain.

Listen to the new groovy music that is royalty-free from a site that I just discovered while window-shopping. It is indeed cathartic in this pandemic and stress of insufficient money for many people, who are out of jobs. I can still count my blessings and thank God daily. There are groceries, fresh veggies, fruits, seasonings like Carbonara sauce in a bottle, dry foods, frozen foods and seafood for the purchase.

Now, it's that time of the year again for a yuletide season and Jesus is the reason for the season! It's Christmas eve today. Tomorrow, we will treat the family to a simple Western lunch somewhere. Since it is still MCO here, in Malaysia, we did not go to Genting Highlands as we used to in every Christmas time. So, to stay safe, we decided to stay at home here in Penang. It's never boring for me, because I shall have sometime to do daily.

Below is my certificate of completing a Social Media Management course from Coursera that was sponsored by MDEC.





So, you see, my days are pretty preoccupied with online learning and marketing of Atomy while doing some homework for the test and quizes.

Below is a picture of my Maybank AMEX premier card for Tesco RM 50 voucher that arrived yesterday, in time for my Christmas shopping!

Stay safe and stay at home, people. Always wear a mask when going out to public places.

This is our last minute change of plans from travelling to Terengganu for a meeting to an unplanned stay in Flamingo Hotel, Penang for a night. The director couldn't make it at the last minute while we were travelling on Penang Bridge and luckily it was just the start of the long journey by road. Well, it is unfortunate that our plane fare booked via Malindo Air website had to be exchanged to travel vouchers instead of returning us the money. This cost the company about $1.7k for a return flight for 2 pax. We also had to cancel our booking that is non-refundable via Agoda.com and lost $500 thereabout for 2 nights in Grand Continental.

To be frank, it was rather stressful, having prepared the PowerPoint slides show presentation and tidy up the bits and pieces to encounter this 11th hour change. I can only pray to our Heavenly Father to help us out in this predicament; who sees a helicopter view of what's actually happening. Anyway, I created another humorous video below to de-stress, with a lesson of always putting on your mask especially in the lift and in this covid-19 pandemic, so as not to spread any virus nor contract it. Today is the first of September and I am grateful for the blessings that come, no matter what, especially in this mayhem caused by the virus that has wrecked global economy and speed up recession worldwide. This video above is a MUST SEE, as it is so funny watching it repeatedly. It certainly relates to most of us, especially for those staying in highrise or condominiums and apartments with lifts.

Yesterday was our National Day on 31st August in Malaysia.
