World Famous Silent Mentalist, Aaron Crow At Resorts World Genting And Ocean-themed Shopping Fair At First World Plaza

Among the must-see shows at Resorts World Genting this year is “Fearless! Cheating Death Nightly” that features “mystician” Aaron Crow whose one-of-a-kind performance never fails to wow his audience. I love watching magic shows all my life, be it from Europe, USA, Taiwan, Japan, China, HK, Macau or even Australia & New Zealand during my travel vacation, I never failed to visit these countries' casinos if possible with grand debut shows available. This is not the best magic show I have watched over the years but I know many out there enjoyed watching dare-devil performances like this one that can keep you stayed excited for hours.

With his fusion of magic, suspense, risky stunts and mystery, Aaron is able to capture the attention of a crowd without uttering a single word. His unmatched power and eloquent silence has long since become his on stage trademark, always leaving his audience at the edge of their seats and longing for more. 

Often described as mental artiste extraordinaire or silent mentalist, the Belgian has impressed even the likes of Simon Cowell and is well-decorated, he was ranked first at the World Championships of Magic, the largest competition of its kind that is held every three years. There, he battled against 150 other world renowned acts in front of a crowd of 2,500 people.

Among Aaron's other international achievements were winning World Champion Mentalism at the 2003 Den Haag XXII World Championships and winning the Wizard Trophy (Phenomenon category) last year. 

Dubbed Belgium's foremost international television sensation, Aaron has also appeared in numerous TV and gala shows including the popular “Le Plus Grand Cabaret Du Monde” that featured his Candle and Sword act a whopping three times. Aaron has also appeared in the biggest TV shows in the world and was recently featured in Broadway New York, London West End and the iconic Sydney Opera House. 

At Resorts World Genting, Aaron's “Fearless! Cheating Death Nightly” promises to deliver his unique brand of magic and mystery. The show will be held at the Genting International Showroom daily from 18 March to 15 May, 9pm; with matinee show at 4pm. Guests can expect an evening of highly original, heart-stopping, thrilling and truly spectacular acts that will leave them at the edge of their seats throughout.

It can be said that Aaron was born to be a magician. At the age of 12, he was presented a book on the iconic Harry Houdini where he found out that one of Houdini’s well-known acts involved swallowing needles. Coincidence or not, Aaron himself had an early encounter with needles, he was rushed to a hospital with a needle stuck in his throat at the age of three. But it was his encounter with a mouse that crawled on his back while he was in bed when he was five that first inspired him, it made him think about fears and how people overcome them.

Aaron’s appearance on the smash hit TV show “Britain’s Got Talent” wowed both the audience and judges. Even the infamous and dreaded Simon Cowell commented, “That’s a great act. I love the idea of watching something where there is a possibility that someone could actually die.” And during his live show performance, Aaron even trended worldwide on Twitter.

“Fearless! Cheating Death Nightly” features a positive theme, facing and overcoming our fears. Aaron sees himself as a “warrior with a mission.” “We can all overcome our fears, we can all become stronger. The time is now; a new year, a new you, a fearless you,” he says. His most popular acts are “Supravision,” possibly the most spectacular blindfold act in the world, “Bowman” which is an unseen combination of bravery and love that will touch you, and “The Final Bullet” in which Aaron attempts to catch a signed bullet shot at 300 Bar from a paintball machine gun. Highly original and authentic, his routines are performed in silence with the exception of some spine-tingling eerie music in the background.

Tickets for “Fearless! Cheating Death Nightly” (Genting International Showroom from 18 March to 15 May, 8pm and 4pm) are priced at RM78 (PS2), RM98 (PS1) and RM118 (VIP). I lost count how many times already I have watched all the magic shows been shown here at Resorts World Genting, esp. those big 'Zhai Zok' grand debut of world-class performances that my family or corporate companies have organized all these years and I always enjoyed watching it that's for sure. 

There is an ‘aquatic’ world some 6,000 ft above the sea level waiting to be discovered by leisure seekers. It is a make-believe world, of course, but the ‘Sea the World’ shopping fair at Resorts World Genting will still offer a fun-filled outing for all in the family these school holidays. After an hour of appetising dinner at Coffee Terrace, I quickly went for a shopping spree here for hours before I drove back to Kuala Lumpur.

Whether you are a serious shopper or you simply enjoy indulging in window shopping, this fair which is held at First World Plaza for a limited period of time should prove to be an interesting destination. In fact last 2 weeks during my birthday escapade at Genting Highlands, I passed by and did some souvenir shopping here. Cute, creative & lovely souvenirs esp.the green keychain Casino Chips of 1000. Haha...I got so excited about it!

For one, there's the attractive décor to enjoy, featuring an ocean theme complete with aquatic animals and plants like dolphins, jelly fish, clown fish, star fish and reef corals. And to complement the theme, there will be a wide range of seashell merchandise souvenirs, accessories and ornaments for sale.

Children would be thrilled at the sights and sounds at the fair and of course, be happily excited if their parents were to purchase something for them from among the hundreds of toys and accessories on show. Sea-themed toys are aplenty and likewise popular toys like remote-control cars, helicopters and robots.

There is something for everyone. Ladies would be keen on the many ocean-themed fashion accessories and ornaments available, while the whole family would enjoy the numerous seafood snacks and food products like coconut dessert. Needless to say, when people are on holiday, they often pick up souvenirs to remember their trip. At Sea the World shopping fair, many products make wonderful souvenirs.

ENCHANTEUR PARIS Eau De Toilette Turn Ordinary Days Into Magical Moments

Have you ever dreamt of dating your crush? The sight of him even from a distance makes time stand still. As he gets closer heading your way with his pals, your heart pounds.  Would a seductive hair flip and serious wish be enough to get him to notice you? A captivating scent simply cannot be ignored. Thank God I made it to this delightful event that day as I used to attend Enchanteur Paris event with JQ for the past 2 years learning about fragrance making and this year is my 3rd attendance liao. Time really flies and I was glad that I came this time also to learn more about beauty & personality psychology through a grooming guru Josephine.

The sense of smell is the first of our senses to develop and the strongest and most sensitive. According to mirror.co.uk, people can remember smells with 65% accuracy after a year while visual recall is about 50% after 3 months. In our busy, highly distracted and digitized days, a fragrance cannot be more helpful to stand out. My dressing that day falls under Whimsical Personality with bright, colourful dress, playful Pom Pom handbag charm that says I'm a happy go lucky person and I blushingly admitted to that totally. No doubt about that!

Right from the days when perfume was discovered, it was used daily and not just for special occasions. Fragrances form an essential part of our daily grooming. Fragrances not only complete our look or complement our makeup but more importantly it is like a signature, a scent that expresses the wearer. Fragrance adds the finishing touch of elegance, giving especially women the invisible extra that completes her personality. It's so true, I remember in my 20's during my corporate working days as a Business Development Manager, I used to spray one light refreshing fragrance almost everyday just to uplift my happy mood and spirit for the day, there were strangers be it handsome men or pretty women who approached and asked me what brand of fragrance I was using after they showered me with lovely compliments that I smell so nice. 

ENCHANTEUR Paris Eau De Toilette is now refreshed with an exciting new look complete with captivating nodes in the perfume to make it all the more desirable. The crystal clear glass bottle that comes with its signature ribbon cap is now packed in gorgeous boxes with distinctive girls hand drawn to depict the alluring scents of Mon Amie, Belle Amour, Adore and Magique. Against the background of the magnificent Parisian landscape with the iconic Eiffel Tower, the lifestyles and flair of young and stylish ladies come alive.

SWISS LINE CELL SHOCK Age Intelligence Youth-Inducing Eye Cream Launch

In this modern age, we can resort to many methods to look younger and healthier than our chronological age, such as skincare, detox, diet, exercise, as well as clothing, hair and makeup choices. You should also look out for another detail that will betray your true age which is your eyes. True, as times goes by, seeing those fine lines and wrinkles forming around my eyes due to aging factors I got so frustrated with the nature calling but I need to accept it willingly and openly about it. No point feeling sad about it or self-pitying myself for nature calls of aging gracefully so I need to make great efforts to prevent it from happening or worsen the situation by starting to use the best eye cream created by the Swiss experts. 

Eye contact is the most important connection when meeting a person and our eyes age the fastest. The skin around our eyes is the thinnest and most fragile skin on our body, making it particularly susceptible to the signs of aging like wrinkles, loss of firmness, uneven skin tone and under-eye puffiness. Thus, to look younger, one will need to pay attention to the eyes adopting a scientific approach and using the most potent of anti-aging ingredients.

As we age, skin cell production slows down owing to a decrease in the production of two important compounds in the skin - collagen and elastin - and the disappearance of fat cells beneath the skin`s surface. Collagen and elastin are known to help the thinner skin around your eyes stay strong and hold their shape.

Swiss line`s newest product launch, Swiss line Cell Shock Age Intelligence Youth-Inducing Eye Cream, a sister product to Cell Shock Youth-Inducing Cream, combines a potent pharmaceutical-grade extract, botanical stem cells, and molecular technology which all work in synchronicity to dramatically transform the eye area.

This hardworking eye cream offers a four-pronged approach to age correction, simultaneously addressing: lines and wrinkles, loss of firmness, uneven skin tone, and under-eye puffiness. The cream, like all of the Age Intelligence formulas, also addresses cellular self-recovery.

Most eye care products approach uneven skin tone from the perspective of counteracting dark circles and addressing their causes such as poor microcirculation. In contrast, the new Youth-Inducing Eye Cream addresses the problem from a pigmentation / complexion point of view using the Rab27A molecular approach. While limiting the significant transport of irregular pigmentation around the eye zone, the cream imparts, in the medium-term, a brighter and fresher look to the entire area.

This Swiss line Cell Shock Age Intelligence Youth-Inducing Eye Cream is ideally suited for mature skin slowing more than one’s age concern. It has been formulated to transform the skin’s inner "architecture" and restore its luminosity and uniformity.

The key actives in Cell Shock Age Intelligence Youth-Inducing Eye Cream include;

AGE INTELLIGENCE COMPLEX (RECOVERY)

This innovative complex blends Cell Shock`s signature Cellactel 2 Complex, a biotech botanical complex that helps skin cells breathe, preserve energy and metabolize more effectively, together with Madecassoside® from Bayer, a pharmaceutical-grade botanical extract of Centella Asiatica proven to modulate the skin`s chronic inflammatory conditions and to rebalance the skin`s natural protection of the horny layer of the skin, giving it a smoother, more even feel.

BIO-MIMETIC GROWTH FACTORS (ANTI-WRINKLE)

Isolated from seeds, these botanical-only growth factors mimic the expression of the FGF-2 (Fibroblast Growth Factor), whose role is to intensely activate dermal synthesis and boost collagen production.

STEMCELL PULSE (FIRMING)

Cultured stem cells of botanical origin- from Psilanthus bengalensis (Coffea bengalensis), an unusual type of coffee plant that does not contain caffeine - offer a strong plumping and firming effect owing to the stimulation of adipocyte formation and the decrease of lipase activity. Given that skin tissue “loses” its richness and resilience with increased ageing, stem cell technology can offer an unprecedented corrective effect to this biological process.

RAB27A MOLECULE (EVENNESS)

This active fraction obtained from the algae Palmaria palmata limits the transport of the melanosomes (the skin’s own melanin transport system) to the keratinocytes by reducing the synthesis of the protein-anchoring Rab27a.

HESPERIDIN (ANTI-PUFFINESS)

A flavonoid found abundantly in citrus fruits, it decreases the capillary permeability, the key physiological factor leading to puffiness.

The Swiss line Cell Shock Age Intelligence Youth-Inducing Eye Cream has met science in the eye, so that your eyes will reveal you, but only a younger looking you. I have started using this shocking-amazing eye cream already and totally falling in love with it. I tend to neglect taking good care of my eyes recently due to busy, lazy me, but the moment I applied the eye cream that night, the next morning my multiple wrinkle lines near the tip of my eyes have smoothen back to normal. Sometimes you only need to see it to believe it. Honestly, I never like to apply any eye cream on my delicate eyes but I'll definitely continue using this till finished for sure!

The Cell Shock Age Intelligence Youth-Inducing Eye Cream is retailed at RM538 in a see-through acrylic and white double chamber 15ml jar with metallic ring. The Swiss line products are available at over 50 Cheerful Beautique member beauty salons nationwide in Malaysia including Energy Day Spa at Great Eastern Mall (Ampang) and Damai Sari (Mont’ Kiara Damai) or you can check out www.cheerful.com.my

The finale of the parade is at Boulevard at Times Square.

Another venue promising exciting action is Rainforest where a special cheerleading show is scheduled, featuring the award-winning Cheer Aces from Subang Jaya.
