'Style on a Shoestring' at Freeport A'Famosa Outlet

A'Famosa Resort

Shopping! Shopping ! One of every girl's favourite activities. It was my pleasure to participate and enjoy the ultimate shopping experience with 39 other fashion bloggers on 6th Dec 2015.

Early at 9 am in the morning, we assembled at The Palace of the Golden Horses for our shuttle. It just took about 1 hour and 15 minutes to reach A'Famosa Resort, Melaka. Upon arrival, we had a Conference Q&A session with the Celebrity Bloggers - Xandria Ooi, Bangsar Babe, Heidi and Nana. They shared their ideas on how to increase our blog traffic and gave tips about fashion. We really had a good time with the 4 of them. Overall, it was a great sharing experience among the bloggers. In the end, they gave us the GOAL of the entire exercise - 

GOAL -  "To get a good deal during the SALES"

Here you go! The outlook of Freeport A'Famosa Outlet.
The features are:
~Dutch heritage design
~Designed by leading Australian achitects, LGM Architecture
~Designed to world class international standards

  The Marketing and PR from A'Famosa Outlet was very friendly, they welcomed enthusiastically and briefed us on the spot. They highlight that there will be more brands and outlets opening soon. Currently, there are over 60 outlets opened during 28th Nov & 5th Dec. Our event falling on the 6th Dec, it was really a good time for us to shop. The is never enough time for girls to shop!

From the terms, we have to experience the shops in the outlet within 2 hours and spend RM350. We were divided to two groups, 1 group is focused on casual wear and another for dressy outfits. I was attached with group B, the casual group.

Actually I went to just a few outlets, Forever 21, Sacoor, G2000, Carlo Rino, Natural Republic, Camel, Vero Moda, ONLY Outlet and etc. However, having only a limited time to shop with the budget of RM350, we had to rush. It's really a waste, as I would need more time to browse the other outlets. Since it is a new opening, what I can see is every outlet was crowded with customers busy grabbing stuff. It's a suitable place to hang around with family and friends.There is something for everyone eg, clothes, shoes, bags, cosmetics etc, you can get it all here.

Group B - casual look. It was a great experience to hang out with all these guys. See you all again soon!

No doubt, A' Famosa is a one-stop venue for leisure. It's located just 55 minutes from Sungai Besi toll and 30 minutes from Malacca. There is something for everyone, eg Golf , Water Theme Park, Safari Wonderland, Old West, Resort Hotel, Condotel, Villas with swimming pool, wedding & honeymoon events, sports & recreation as well as the new opening Freeport A'Famosa Outlet. It will be good idea to make a holiday trip.

The colour yellow is the main choice for this event. It's so striking and you can see it from far away.

Many car lovers were present on that day, including some car owner's clubs and sports car collectors. I saw them happily discussing colour, design as well as engine power and speed for each model. So far in my life time, I have only experienced riding in a Ferrari in Penang during a friend's wedding ceremony. Today I got to do it again!

BiO-LiFE Astaxanthin 4mg

In this world, there is no "Fountain of youth". In my opinion, if you really wish to stay young and healthy then you may need to lead a balanced life with regular exercise, hiking and etc.

On 15th May, I had the chance to attend the launch of the BiO-LiFE Astaxanthin 4mg event at 1 Utama Centre Court. Actually BiO-LiFE is a big brand that everyone knows about. The main objective for me attending the launch is to know more about the tips from the professionals, doctors and celebrities on how to stay young and healthy through nutritional supplement.

Speech by John Goebel - General Manager (Photo taken from BiO-LiFE fb page)

There were a few Malaysian celebrities - Joanne Yew, Atilia Haron, Nadia Heng and Ee Fee joining  this glitzy "The Red Carpet Affair" themed event. Their attendance made the event more lively as they shared important tips and educated us on how to find a suitable healthcare regime in order to lead a healthy life.

Seeing them close, they look glamorous and youthful. I was shy to stand next to them to take photos. According to them, they are using Astaxanthin 4mg to protect their skin, moisturising it from within! The product acts as an powerful antioxidant to neutralise free radicals and slow down the aging process. I believe that exercise only is not enough, and it is advisable to have some health supplement to have better results.

I really like the idea of this launch for Parent's Day as the whole family can come together to enjoy food, beer and the entertainment here. The location is also very ideal, as we can do our shopping before coming in.

That's cool right? We can redeem the discount voucher to change a new phone and new spectacles for our parents. I'm sure our parents deserve to be pampered. I also suggested to Black Bull that if possible to prepare carnations during Parent Day. They may consider and discuss with their florist.

See you all during Parent's Day at Black Bull!
