Books Affair

 Times bookstore is having a book fair and they are offering books, notebooks & stationeries at almost half their original price! 

The Times Bookstores Atrium Sales will be here till next sunday

Get inspired by Robin S. Sharma’s “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari”. It is a captivating story about life and personal development. Plus...We spotted this book at another bookstore selling at $16.

 Editor’s Pick of the week: 

 “HomeBook” organizer ($7.80). Notebook fans should get this!

The coolest thing about this notebook is that there are many conversion tables and lifestyle tips in the book. The conversion tables include height & weight, clothes & accessories and fabric table.

It is an all-in-1 notebook for the smart and homely girls. There are also travelling tips, first aid, home remedies for colds, animal bites & even constipation! The finance management section, gardening tips and wine glossary is just way too awesome!

Halloween Offers

Halloween is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31.

The term Halloween, originally spelled Hallowe’en, is shortened from All Hallows’ Even –a shortening of evening, derived from the Old English aka,  “Eve of” All Saints’ Day.

It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints. The festival celebrates the “festival of dead” and is widely associated with jack-o’-lantern, trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, ghost tours, bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

If you plan to celebrate the festival at home tonight, you should get these!

Crawl to bed with a designer dooodoolls plushe ($19.90- $79.90 each) from UrbanWrite

Decorate your dark room with Gimmo, Magic Lights from Action City ($49.90 each).

Bury yourself with horror books from Times Bookstores.

Munch Pumpkin Muffins from Yamazaki Boulangerie Chaude at $2 each

It is believed that the festival allows both harmless and harmful spirits to pass through the world.

Family’s ancestors will visit homes and it is believed that in order to ward off harmful spirits, we have to wear costumes and masks to disguise ourselves as harmful spirits to avoid being harmed….. 

So come dressed in Halloween costume to get a FREE lychee flavored B cup yogurt worth $5.30 from Frolick.

Mahahahahaa….have a  “H~A~P~P~Y”  Halloween!!!!!! wooo’~oooo

Skin Buffet!

Some of you may be aware that SPF can cause our skin to age and hours in air-conditioned environment can leave our skin dry.  And it takes more than our daily facial regime & products to keep our skin hydrated and pimple-free.  Woe to us cubicle rats who are trapped in the air-conditioned office all day long.

To find the remedy to youthful skin, we decided to visit MENTSU, the Japanese- inspired beauty concept store, which was recently opened officially at Tampines 1.

Located on Level 5 at Tampines 1, Mentsu has an interesting conveyer belt that showcases not sushi, but different kinds of Japan-imported supplements made of all natural ingredients.  Cool huh?

What we love about Mentsu is that we need not sign up for treatment packages that could cost hundreds – something which most beauty salons do (yeah, we dread all the sales talks).   This concept is great for those do not wish to be committed upfront with pre-paid packages.  Cheers to Mentsu for the flexibility of up-keeping beauty regimes with no strings attached!

We also like the concept of choosing beauty products on an a-la-carte basis.  It is a pretty good idea as we can choose products suitable for our skin type than to use generic ones.  With an affordable treatment fee, the trained therapist will administer our selected beauty products in their cozy treatment application lounge.

We are impressed with the variety of beauty products at affordable prices.  Cleanser cost only $3 per pack, Facial Scrub at $3 per pack, Toner at $2, the Peel Off mask pack cost $10 only! WOO!!!

Facial scrub are available in interesting flavours. Yum! We wish we can eat them!

Milk Cleansers are also retailing at $42 per 500ml bottle.  The cleansers have a nice refreshing smell.  We love their light and smooth texture when applied on our skin.

Ampoule has anti-ageing benefits. Priced between $11 and $16 per bottle, it can help to reduce wrinkles and freckles formation.

Check out their wide range of ampoules! Some of the ampoules actually have slimming effects and they cost around $19-$21 per bottle.  Affordable!

Mentsu also has a wide range of slimming beauty products. Check out the slimming body scrubs – Coffee, Ginger, Seaweed and Chocolate flavours! Sounds too yummy to us now!

Feeling stressed or having insomnia?  Maybe you should try out Mentsu’s full body massages service at $38 only and you can pick your body massage oil according to your needs.

What’s more, they have twin treatment rooms where couples and buddies can do their facial or massage treatment together!

Sounds deliciously rejuvenating?  We are sure you will be perked up after the treatment!

“Never thought I would win a car!”

The results for 8 Malls & More Lucky Draw winners is out! 

 

For last 2 months, thousands of shoppers had registered their chance at Tampines 1  to win $1,000 worth of AsiaMalls vouchers weekly and a brand new Mazda3 in the the joint promotion between 8 shopping malls namely:- Tiong Bahru Plaza, Century Square, Hougang Mall, White Sands, Liang Court, Tampines 1, Jurong Point and Heartland Mall-Kovan.

 

The Grand Draw was held at Liang Court and we were there to witness it.

It was a heart-stopping evening watching the 24 qualifying shoppers vying for their chance to win a Mazda3.

An opening dance segment by 8 babes in white. Sexy...

The 8 babes were sent to the prize cars as they await the unveiling of the car winners. We wondered why there was no hunk in the presentation. Hmmm...

Round #1: Using Bingo, 16 shoppers were shortlisted among the 24 shoppers to enter the second round of the contest. Round #2: The 16 shortlisted participants had their chance to select a key from the display board and try to activate any of the prize cars which were on display.  There were 16 keys but only 8 of them were actual keys to the prize cars.  If the participant manage to activate any of the cars, he/she will be the lucky winner of that car.  Good luck, guys!!

A shopper from Tampines 1, Mr Lau Cheng Chew picked the key that was labelled with the lucky number 8. And that number sure brought him luck!

YEP!!  Mr Lau is one of the 8 lucky winners and he only spent $299 at Challenger @ Tampines 1.

Here are the 8 lucky winners (the ones standing behind) who will be driving away the brand new Mazda3, 1.6L, 4-door automatic sedan.  WOOT!!

 

CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners and we look forward to see you driving to our mall!  What can we say?  It pays to shop at the malls! 

Cheerios!
