Another week, another whirlwind of totally EXTRA events! We were here, there and everywhere!
We were on the scene and vibing like a boss! Just check out our social diary for this past week (don’t be jelly!):
“OMG! Mom‘s Big News” (阿妈有喜) Press Conference
It was a big night for the cast of “OMG! Mom‘s Big News” (阿妈有喜). Anita Yuen, Chan Fong, Tong Bing Yu, Juztin Lan, and Miko Wong attended the Gala Event where they walked the red carpet at Pavilion KL and interacted with Malaysian fans. Prior to that, the aforementioned stars held a media press conference to talk about their experience filming “OMG! Mom‘s Big News”.
Tapping into her own motherhood, Anita recalled, “During my pregnancy, I would think of my mother, and how little I cared about her before. After becoming a mother, I finally understood why my mother would nag me so much.” When asked about what she gained from playing this role, the 53-year-old actress joked, “I’ve gained a few pounds from all the eating“, citing Bak Kut Teh, Klang’s Blackthorn Durian and Assam Laksa as her favourites.

Eucerin’s Hyaluron-Filler Epicelline Serum Launch
Growing old without looking old: until now, the idea of a fountain of eternal youth was little more than a beautiful dream. But we have more control than we think. Studies prove that, by living a healthy lifestyle, it is possible to slow down the “age clock” of our cells.
After 15 years of research, Beiersdorf AG, one of the pioneers in the field of skin epigenetics, has achieved another milestone in terms of anti-ageing with its patented skin-specific age clock technology. All of this takes place with no changes or mutations in the genetic information in the genome. Instead, small, chemical molecules are attached to the DNA. Unlike mutation, this process, known as DNA methylation, can be reversed. With consistent use of the Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Epicelline Serum, the skin’s biological age-fighting of 10 signs of aging are activated to make you look up to 5 years younger in just 4 weeks.
