Turning the P & G ONG Zodiac glass bottle topper into a dangling charm


A good majority of us Malaysians love our lucky charms super cute . However the year of the monkey has seen some rather ghastly representations that are not appealing in the least . Cute ? Pulez lah hah . When it comes to what I have seen so far in Penang retail outlets , only Tesco 's cartoon monkey  makes the cut. The rest are meh , one cut out mascot along Kelawei , huh damn ass ugly and so scary to look at . 

So , I've been hunting and so far I absolutely don't like what I see . Those decor sourced from China sucks !
Until I had a bright spark moment after well...read on and you'll find out lah .

Recently P  &  G has been giving away zodiac glass bottles and I had to wait like around 3 weeks before I found the Monkey . If last year , the tingkat carrier was unopenable , this year , haiya , as luck would have it , they so phobia already with us achi achor kaupeh kauboo them , until jeng jeng jeng... if you are not careful ah , the lid for the glass bottle will slip right off and piang , there goes your pineapple cookies .

Ya , your kids will grin at you like this. You like meh ?

Not all bottles have this problem. The problem is , we have to take what the customer service gives us . Take back and exchange ? And find out the monkey is no more . Errr..nope . No thanks.

Mission - Malaysian Celebrity Chef series , 2015 recipe books


It is now 2016 , but only now have these recipe books made their appearance in my area .

When this happens , I sometimes wonder what the end retailers are up to . Why they hide these free gifts with purchase so long and only take them out loooooong after the promo period is over . 
Baffling . 
Anyway , there is a reason why I am featuring these 2015 books in 2016 .They are worth pursuing for the recipes themselves , the easy feel , overall layout , nice anecdotes and pictures included .

Sometimes , when I feel that a product is way overpriced and the main reason why it is moving is because of ...well, in this case , because of this jelly mould , I will wait .

Cadbury - purple plastic tote bag


When Atong , the ever smiling Myanmar guy spotted me the other day , he suddenly became extra talkative with his Indian colleague until she asked me straight up
" Do you have a twin sister ? "

Kit Kat - festive bear in a Kit Kat shirt



Awww shucks .....how can anyone resist this ? Hunt this season giftpack down and even if you don't celebrate Christmas, make sure you wrap it up good with some shiny crinkly paper .


Women and kids will surely be delighted when they tear it open and see 2 beady eyes peeking back at them .

Available in 3 colours , I found the white one the most adorable .
Super cute .

A preloaded coffee treat


These preloaded Starbucks cards make great gifts don't you think ? 
Some corporations love handing these out, just to show you their appreciation . 
Such a small gesture ,which helps in elevating the good standing of their company  , especially more so, when one least expects a gift in return.

Pink Lamy Safari - plus some unpink freebies thrown in



Getting hooked onto fountain pens can signal your entry into the abyss of no return . With that Cross Sauvage Smoke Stingray performing so incredibly , the kiamsap side of me felt I needed 
to go opt for a cheaper , what they call , the current workhorse fountain pen  .....but what I call , something I can abuse on a regular basis.

F & N earphones


" Well what do you think ? "
" Should we get some more or what ? "
said muah to the hairy one.
" What for ? "
" You can always get some at Daiso "
the furball retorted 
" Yeah , but at this price , I won't walk away with two 500ml fizzy drinks on top of the earphones , right ? "
---- Silence ----

Yeah so that's how we ended up with one only instead of more.

Milo - metallic pencil box



Was at the foodcourt for grilled ikan bakar.
Which a Bangla prepared. New guy had to do everything while the old guy ( another Bangla ) just played with his phone. The whole time. Anyway, these days, the hawkers charge such ridiculous amounts for skatefish, I really don't feel like donating my money to their get rich quick cause anymore.
Because the dish is spicy , we definitely needed drinks. 
To stay on the safe side, we ordered Nestle drinks .Milo lah, Nescafe lah .....these are items which only a Myanmar or Thai drink maker can get right but not the Bangla or even some Malaysians for that matter. So in times like this, a manufactured drink is the best bet.

Well, well, whadaya know.
For our foodcourt drink purchase above MYR 10 , we got this. A pencil box. A shiny metal pencil box.
From Milo ? Wow, they've certainly graduated from those plastic freebies nobody wants.
 Now we're talking.  This is actually nice ! The cartoon images are actually cute !

Sunsilk - Thermocafé flask is back , taller and more vibrant in colour


Sunsilk sales must have shot through the roof when they first partnered with Thermos to give loyal customers like me, the first incredibly useful and high quality thermos flask under the Thermocafé label .

This time round, the flask is not only taller, the paintwork is also much more vibrant in colour with bits of glitter to give it a metallic shine .
While I grabbed the pink one, one burly mechanic got so excited over the blue flask . Yup, this gift is so cool even the men want it !

Kellogg ' s Cornflakes - Heritage tin series



Here comes another round of tin boxes for you to collect.
Since there's no festive occasion anywhere near , I'm assuming that these collectibles pump sales up during low periods.
Didn't get any so I'm gonna have make do with pictures.
Below are the designs I managed to find

1. Lady with a breakfast tray

Mountain Dew - mini wet wipes in a can


Could not find the Pepsi one. Not keen on the Revive.
These are the other two brands left for taking.
Mirinda and Mountain Dew




The can is cute. Plastic wraparound. Top comes wiyh a pull tab. Check your local Petronas station and buy 3 soft drinks marketed by Permanis to qualify for one freebie.

Koala's March ( Thailand ) snack container


Posting on location from the Kingdom of Thailand , I managed to lay my hands on this cute container.
How come we don't get these premiums back home ?
Big enough for 2 small foil packs of the biscuit.

P&G CNY Treasure Box - unopenable and break prone



These were cutely designed, bright and attractive Nyonya style, tiered plastic tiffin carriers to begin with.
Have seen the exact carrier ( black Nyonya style container for chocolates ) sold in Malaysian airports ,costing an outrageous amount of money  .
