JULY/AUGUST 2022 EDITOR'S NOTE

EDITOR'S NOTE
It is a fantastic thing to be aware that you have the
freedom, capacity and power to choose what to
do and how to live your life at any given moment.
The freedom of choice is the most valuable thing
that life can give us. For our cover personality, So
Shien Yong, he decided to start his own company
producing watch covers for the Apple Watch after
realising that there were few choices for customising
the device. Shien Yong is only 27 and he aspires to
be the pioneer in the field of smart device upgrades
and customisation. We believe that he will realise his
dreams, including owning more Tropicana property,
which he has wanted ever since he was a boy. If you
put in the effort and have a burning desire to succeed,
nothing will stand in your way.
Speaking of success, Tropicana recently marked a
significant milestone as it celebrated two momentous
achievements - the unveiling of Tropicana WindCity
in Genting Highlands and the improved T Privilege
loyalty programme. Redefining the art of living for
over 40 years, we’re happy to note that Tropicana’s
brand equity continues to rise as it innovates and
builds new developments for the benefit of Malaysian
communities. Another accomplishment is Tropicana
Golf & Country Resort’s (“TGCR”) pioneering use of
dragonflies as a biocontrol mechanism is showing
promising results! This issue also features fun and
informative reads such as time-saving kitchen hacks,
hair care tips, statement jewellery, the latest bags
and shoes, the new Suzuki Swift Sport, delectable
Malaysian specialties at TGCR and Tropicana Gardens
Mall, and more. With that, we wish you the best of
luck in your endeavours, and a joyful Merdeka!

“I’m originally from India and have lived in Malaysia for the
past ten years. Malaysia is unlike any other country in that
it is a melting pot of three main cultures. It lives true to its
name, bringing together food, festivals and excitement from
Malay, Chinese and Indian cultures to create a one-of-akind
living experience. Because of the country’s multi-racial
nature, one may easily feel at home any place they go; for
example, when I’m in Brickfields, I feel like I’m back home
in India! After growing up in Malaysia, immersing myself in
the culture and making Malaysian friends, I actually feel very
much at home here.”

“I was born in Brazil and have
been living in Malaysia for over a
year now. I love it here especially
because it’s always sunny, which
I appreciate. Temperatures in
the southern part of Brazil are consistent, with hot summers
and frigid winters, even though there is no snow. Malaysia
appeals to me for a number of reasons, among which, is the
abundance of beautiful islands to visit and explore.”

“Being a Malaysian there is an
inexplicable feeling of selfattachment
towards the nation
and its people. The Malaysian
sense of self-identity and
belonging is solid. Plus, a patchwork of various customs,
traditions and heritage co-exist to form the distinct
Malaysian way of life, which can be found nowhere else.
And, communities such as those present within SJIIM make
Malaysia a comforting, welcoming and inclusive nation.”

TROPICANA AMAN
CELEBRATES
COMPLETION
OF TRIANA
SHOP-OFFICES
Tropicana celebrated vacant possession (“VP”) for owners at Triana
Shop-Offices in Tropicana Aman, the developer’s largest 863-acre
self-contained township in Kota Kemuning. Enriching the commercial
outlook of the development, the 18.4-acre hub features prime visibility
and versatile, open layouts for flexible business arrangements in the new
norm, with VP undertaken for 54% of its double and triple-storey shopoffices.
Joanne Lee, Senior Managing Director of Marketing and Sales,
shared more on the project’s value proposition, as well as Tropicana’s
development DNA across its portfolio.
“As Tropicana’s largest township to date, Tropicana Aman offers
a promising business opportunity for owners and entrepreneurs,
with a projected 30,000-strong population once complete. Triana
Shop-Offices is ideally positioned to cater for this demand as well as
footfall from surrounding areas, featuring easy access to the Shah Alam
Expressway (KESAS), as well as ample pedestrian links.
34
In addition, it accommodates a wide range of commercial arrangements,
including entertainment businesses. Triana Shop-Offices’ design is
driven by Tropicana’s distinctive development DNA, particularly its focus
on connectivity and generous open spaces, as we continue Redefining
the Art of Living in all we do,” she said.
Inviting passersby with wide shop frontages from 24’ to 35’ and built-ups
3,360 sq ft to 6,771 sq ft, Triana Shop-Offices is suitable for a wide range
of businesses, from vibrant new start-ups and co-working operators to
established brands and franchises. Higher ceilings up to 12’ offer room to
grow, while selected units feature double-volume spaces well-suited for
dining and retail tenants.
Triana Shop-Offices benefits from nearby amenities, including medical
facilities such as Columbia Asia Hospital, hypermarkets like Aeon
Big, and banks including Maybank, CIMB, and RHB. Those keen
on joining the growing commercial hub can invest in Triana Shop-Offices by
visiting tropicanaaman.com.my/LandingPageTriana or calling 1700 81 8868.

I purchased a Triana unit
because I am planning
to open a bakery for my
daughter. I like Triana’s
connectivity to main
highways, as well as the
ample parking available.
Its wide entrances,
abundance of natural light,
and high-quality build and
finishing are also good.
SUZANNE CHAN (LEFT)
As a first-time commercial
buyer, I was drawn to the
location fronting the main
road, with the potential
of a growing population
and higher associated
ROIs. The unit design, with
high ceilings and spacious
layouts, is also attractive.
KINGSLEY TAN
In the leasing business,
it’s better to deal with
commercial tenants, so
Triana is a great investment.
The clubhouse is nearby,
with top accessibility to
the mature township.
Triana’s pillarless design is
also convenient for many
types of businesses.

service provider for TwinPines Serviced Suites in

commitment to HostAStay, Tujia’s participation
ensures steady footfall to properties under the

Senior Managing Director of Marketing & Sales
division expressed her appreciation for the strategic
partnership during the signing of Memorandum of
Understanding (“MoU”) between the two at the
Tropicana Experiential Hall, Tropicana Gardens
Office Tower in Kota Damansara. “Throughout the
years, Tropicana has built a reputation as one of
the leading developers in Malaysia, Redefining the

as well as smart partnerships with many reputable
corporations. Our strategic collaboration aims
to bring value to homeowners and residents at
Tropicana Grandhill and Tropicana Cenang.
With HostAStay as a partner, we will deliver
technology-enabled dynamic pricing for maximised
rental returns, round-the-clock concierge, cleaning
and maintenance services, and much more. These
features will further enhance guest and resident
satisfaction, facilitating value appreciation in the
long-term,” she said. “As a globetrotter and believer
in Humanising Technology, I foresee a worldwide
rise in homestay and tourism arrivals as pent-up
demand reasserts itself,” said Jordan Oon, Founder

from the home were invited for a fun day of shopping
and exciting activities at Tropicana Gardens Mall
and the Tropicana Heights Central Park, as well as
buka puasa at Tropicana Golf & Country Resort’s
celebrated Santapan 29 Malam dinner buffet.
Their outing was documented by OhBulan! and

Jared Ang, Group Executive Director of Tropicana
conveyed the principles driving Tropicana’s
charitable initiatives, as well as the importance of
delivering assistance to underprivileged community.
“Every single year without fail, Tropicana engages
with communities celebrating Ramadhan. With the
relaxation of SOPs, we decided to host a day of
fun and exciting activities to cheer up children
in need. We’re very proud of this charitable
partnership with OhBulan! together with the
support of our subsidiaries like Tropicana Golf &
Country Resort and Tropicana Gardens Mall. This
also underscores our commitment to Redefining
the Art of Living, Sharing, and Caring through
and through,” he said.
The visit began at Tropicana Heights’ 16-acre
Central Park, where the children enjoyed a morning
of fun in the sun next to the development’s 750m
linear lake. Their itinerary included activities such
as cycling, basketball, and traditional games.
They were then taken to Tropicana Gardens
Mall, where they received duit Raya packets
after which they were invited to start their Raya
wishlist at BookXcess, one of Malaysia’s leading
book retailers. Sports Paragon also welcomed
the children to its flagship store, where they
were treated to goodie bags containing sandals,
snacks, and face masks. Rounding out the festive
giving, the children chose shoes from brands
such as Peak and Kronos to set the pace for the
coming year.

Tropicana Gardens Mall, the retail arm of Tropicana,
partnered with the Royal Thai Embassy and
Thailand’s Department of International Trade
Promotion to host Malaysia’s largest Thai festival,
Think Thailand. The 12-day extravaganza, which
began on 26 May 2022 offered shoppers the
opportunity to experience the best of Thailand
with exciting activities such as cooking and martial
arts demonstrations, lively cultural performances, a
Thai bazaar, and more. Think Thailand leverages on

to provide a vibrant mix of engaging activities for
shoppers and visitors.
“Malaysians are ready to shop, dine out, and travel
again, and Tropicana Gardens Mall aims to cater to

with Think Thailand. Thanks to our partners in the
Royal Thai Embassy and Department of International
Trade Promotion, the festival will feature authentic
Thai experiences for visitors to enjoy, as well as
products from more than 50 Thai exporters at over 50
booths onsite. It also aligns with evolving consumer
preferences for experiential engagement in retail,
following shifts to digital and online platforms
during the lockdown, as Tropicana continues
Redefining the Art of Shopping,” he said. Visitors
to the mall had the chance to sample an array
of Thai delicacies, including those from Thai
SELECT restaurants, as well as the Thailand
International Halal Showcase. Other attractions

WITH THE LOST FOOD
PROJECT TO FIGHT
HUNGER
Tropicana Foundation, the charity arm of Tropicana collaborated
with Malaysian non-profit organisation The Lost Food Project
(“TLFP”) to channel surplus food to the needy. Together with
its subsidiary, Tropicana Golf & Country Resort and Greenhouse
Farm & Fishery (Tropicana’s agriculture arm), the team cleaned,
wrapped and delivered 300kg of fish to six TLFP charity partners
across Selangor. Jared Ang, Group Executive Director of Tropicana,
elaborated on its ongoing humanitarian mission, in line with its
sustainable development approach across its portfolio.
“Hunger is a growing global concern as supply chain disruptions
affect food prices and availability. Despite this, more than 4,000
tonnes of avoidable food waste are generated in Malaysia each day.
We remain consistent in our efforts to tackle this social issue by
partnering with TLFP, as well as our subsidiary Tropicana Golf &
Country Resort and agriculture arm Greenhouse Farm & Fishery, for
the distribution of surplus fish stock to those in need, in line with
Tropicana’s commitment to Redefining the Art of Caring throughout
its townships and vertical communities,” he said. The donated fish
comprised tilapia stock, a low-calorie food source packed with
protein and nutrients such as vitamin B12 and selenium, which play
an essential role in immune system function. The donated tilapia
were carefully cleaned and vacuum-packed to preserve freshness
prior to distribution.
39
In addition to its collaboration with TLFP, Tropicana Foundation
also donated 180 care packs to the Tan Sri Muhyiddin Charity Golf
Foundation (“TSMCGF”), in conjunction with the Founders Cup
2022 tournament held at the Kota Permai Golf & Country Club.
The care packs included healthy baked goods, cutlery sets, mineral
water and recycled bags. Tropicana’s partnerships with TLFP and
TSMCGF underscore its commitment to engaging with and uplifting
underprivileged segments of society, as part of its sustainable
approach to environmental, social and corporate governance
(“ESG”) principles.

GENTING HIGHLANDS
Sited high up among the clouds is one of Malaysia’s top tourist destinations, Genting
Highlands. The draw of this hill station city lies in its perfect trifecta - entertainment,
recreation and cool environs. This makes the locale an equally covetable weekend
getaway or even better, a holiday home destination.
Located under an hour’s drive away from Kuala Lumpur, Genting Highlands is a magnet
for travellers and holidaymakers from Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley, and even as
far as Singapore.

TROPICANA MAGAZINE
Its constellation of entertainment and recreational options
complete with dining and shopping option as presented by
Resorts World Genting has solidify the position of this highland
retreat as the City of Entertainment. Now, with the opening of
Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park, the stage is set for an even
more thrilling ride.
As the country’s international borders are now open, an
upswing in tourist arrivals is expected and the lure of
adventure and adrenaline cannot be denied. With the return of
visitors, this heralds an increase in job opportunities, and over
time, lead to a rise in demand for residential and commercial
properties in the area.
The action at the top has also spilled down to mid-hill Genting as
towns such as Gohtong Jaya and Genting Sempah gain popularity
with tourists looking for an alternative, localised experience.
Ecotourism and even medical tourism are also set to be some of
the game-changers that will spur development further.
With this in mind, Tropicana has envisioned a new mega
development for the highland that is Tropicana WindCity.
A curation in progress, Tropicana WindCity will encompass
Tropicana Grandhill, Tropicana Paradise and Tropicana Avalon,
each offering its own lifestyle components.

THE GRAND LAUNCH OF
TROPICANA WINDCITY
On 16 June 2022, Tropicana marked a significant milestone as it
celebrated two momentous achievements for the Group - the
unveiling of Tropicana WindCity in Genting Highlands and the
improved T Privilege loyalty programme. Strategically located
at the mid-hill of this tourist hotspot, Tropicana plans to build
a holistic 596 acres township comprising three masterplans:
Tropicana Grandhill, Tropicana Paradise and Tropicana Avalon,
spread across 112 acres, 308 acres and 176 acres respectively.
Tropicana also unveiled T Privilege, an improved loyalty
programme anchored by the Tropicana 360 mobile app.
Launched in 2011, Tropicana Privilege Card was the first
property loyalty programme introduced by the Group. The
all-improved T Privilege aims to offer more benefits to its
property purchasers as well as the community across the
Group’s ecosystem. Through T Privilege, Tropicana members
can enjoy special rebates to their next property purchase and
experience a host of benefits when they dine, play or stay in
Tropicana’s affiliates, from retail and golf resort to hospitality.
Members can leverage on the programme’s 65 merchant
partners and brands, specially curated for the unveiling with
plans to offer more exciting merchants in the future. Dion
Tan, Group Managing Director of Tropicana, enthused on
how Tropicana has constantly evolved and transformed
with the times, from pioneering the first resort-style
Tropicana Golf & Country Resort to the Group’s recent
growth with the vibrant Tropicana WindCity and loyalty
programme.
“Standing on a 596 acres site, we plan to build a holistic
retail, recreational and residential oasis at Genting
Highlands mid-hill. Tropicana WindCity is envisioned
with Tropicana Paradise as the catalyst, offering an
entertainment haven at the heart of the township. This
vibrant blueprint will chart a new growth horizon for our
Group as well as marks our first marketing expansion into
the international market across the Asia Pacific region.
We are pleased to note that we have already registered
interest from various companies, underscoring the rising
interest in our highland development, and we look
forward to and invite more exciting collaborations in the
near future,” he said.

For decades, audiences around the world have been captivated by Japanese animation's
distinct style and sense of whimsy, and this holds true for everything from the plot to the
artwork as well as cultural references and ideas featured in the shows. What adds to the
appeal is that the anime narratives and characters are grounded in reality, as are their
problems. And because of the freedom of visual expression, anime producers can make
these stories appear larger than life. The most well-known Japanese animation studio
is Studio Ghibli, which was established in 1985 by Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki.
There’s even a Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Japan, which was launched in October 2001 as
a joint venture between Studio Ghibli and the Tokuma Memorial Cultural Foundation for
Animation, while a Ghibli Park is set to open in November this year in Nagakute. It will
feature attractions based on Studio Ghibli’s movies. Unlike other animation studios, Studio
Ghibli was founded to explore the human pscyhe and offer audiences poetic stories that
would express its complexities.
It has produced more than 20 films many of which opened at the top of the box office
in Japan the year they were released. One of Hayao’s most popular films Spirited Away,
which was released in 2001 earned over ¥30 billion (RM1 billion) at the box office. Film
critics and animators from across the world have also awarded Studio Ghibli’s films with
several awards and critical praise. Spirited Away got the 2003 Academy Award for Best
Animated Feature Film and the Golden Bear prize at the 2002 Berlin International Film
Festival. The studio’s The Wind Rises, The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, When Marnie Was
There, and The Red Turtle have also been nominated for the Academy Awards for Best
Animated Feature Film. According to The New York Times, the next project will be Hayao’s
last Studio Ghibli film. The 81-year-old and producer Toshio Suzuki gave little details about
it, but it is said to be based on Genzaburo Yoshino’s 1937 novel, How Do You Live? The
protagonist is a 15-year-old boy in Tokyo whose father just died. He is small for his age and
often gets into trouble.

The course here is set in a scenic countryside near the
Nishinasuno Country Club. It is a gorgeous flat forest links course
with reasonably narrow fairways bordered by red pine trees of
similar height. The layout of the course includes some dogleg
holes, elevated big greens and strategically-placed lakes. It has a
tough layout and stunning landscape, which will make you want
to come back and play again. Each and every green has intricate
undulations, making it a challenge to putt on them. The 10th
and 11th holes require an increased level of caution because the
hazards come into play so effectively on those holes. High scores
on these two holes will jeopardise your chances of winning.
KARUIZAWA GOLF RESORT, JAPAN
At an elevation of 1,300 metres above sea level, Kita-Karuizawa
features two 18-hole courses namely the Asama course and the
Shirakaba course where you can play in clean mountain air. In
the middle of summer, temperatures seldom climb over 30°C,
but in the spring and fall, the brilliant colours of nature provide
a lovely backdrop to your game. In Karuizawa, you can stay in
the luxurious Taiheiyo Club resort, which is referred to as ‘Villa
the Club’. While here, don’t forget to check out the restaurants,
which serve sumptuous Japanese, Chinese and Western cuisines.
Because the resort has the capacity to host up to 200 visitors,
it is an excellent choice for hosting company outings as well as
retreats devoted to corporate training.

tee box with green on the left side behind a pond at the end
of a dogleg left, is one of the best holes on the Hill Course. The
hallmark hole on the Lake Course, #3 par 5, is 491 metres and
plays straight uphill against the wind. The Valley Course’s par 4
finishing hole is rated the most difficult, with multiple challenging
characteristics including an uphill climb to the clubhouse and a
slight dogleg right to the green.

BIOCONTROL
Tropicana’s use of dragonflies as a biocontrol
mechanism shows promising results
81
JULY/AUGUST 2022 NATURE
Nearly a year has passed since the Tramea transmarina dragonfly larvae were released into a
pond at Tropicana Golf & Country Resort ("TGCR") as a natural solution to suppress mosquito
population and impede mosquito larvae growth. A dragonfly’s natural diet includes mosquitoes
and flying insects near ponds. Dragonflies are precise and lethal hunters, catching almost 95% of
their prey. A field survey was undertaken by dragonfly expert Dr Choong Chee Yen to establish
whether or not the endeavour was effective, and the results were encouraging. “We conducted
an observation at the pond on 18 February 2022 (about five months after releasing the larvae)
and we’re pleased to report that the dragonflies are breeding successfully at the pond,” says
the lecturer at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) Faculty of Science and Technology.
During the survey, it was discovered that the pond was home to a staggering six different
dragonfly species in addition to the Tramea transmarina (commonly known as Saddlebag
Glider) larvae that were first released into the pond. “This is a good sign since it indicates
that the environment there is healthy,” Choong notes. It also suggests that the initiative has
achieved its goal of providing a new habitat for the dragonflies used in the pilot project, as
well as attracting other dragonfly species to converge at the ponds in TGCR. In addition to the
role that dragonflies play in controlling the mosquito population by feeding on mosquitoes
and their larvae, the project paves the way for the ponds to become an eco-tourism location
suitable for dragonfly observation activities. The project, the first of its kind for a golf course,
exemplifies Tropicana’s efforts to fulfil its commitment as a responsible developer by minimising
the impact on natural ecosystems and biodiversity.

INSTA-WORTHY
At Tropicana Gardens Mall, renowned graffiti artist Kenji Chai
has created murals inspired by a Japanese anime
The next time you visit Tropicana Gardens Mall, be sure to stop by the West Walk area on the ground
floor, outside Starbucks Reserve, to admire the murals there. Kenji Chai, a celebrated graffiti artist
whose masterpieces can be seen in several parts of Malaysia as well as in other countries, is the one
who came up with the bold and bright wall art creations, worthy of being featured on Instagram.
Due to the fact that there is a mural on either side of an almost spiral staircase, these works of art
are incredibly arresting. “Many people take photos here and tag me on their social media accounts,”
says Kenji. He adds that the murals were inspired by a Japanese anime called Spirited Away, which
tells the story of a girl, Chihiro Ogino who, while relocating to a new neighborhood, enters the world
of Kami (spirits of Japanese Shinto folklore). “Between 50 and 60 percent of the murals’ characters
are based on the anime,” explains Kenji. According to him, creating the murals were difficult because
he had to ascend ladders and stand on scaffoldings at various points. “The scaffoldings were not
particularly stable, so I had a difficult time with them. It took me somewhere between 10 and 14 days
to finish the murals”. Among the 40-year-old Sabah native’s other notable works include a 25-storey
mural on the wall of the RED by Sirocco hotel, which got certified by the Malaysia Book of Records as
the tallest mural in the country. Kenji, who has been invited to paint murals in over 20 countries, has
also partnered with brands such as BMW, Puma, Netflix, Vans and of course, Starbucks.

Tropicana Cenang’s Cultural Day
included everything from traditional
games to a batik workshop
Tropicana Cenang in Langkawi recently held a Cultural
Day as part of its efforts to promote traditional arts,
crafts and culture as well as commemorate the Hari
Raya celebrations. The event attracted 30 walk-in
visitors, mainly tourists who were visiting the island. It
was a fun day for everyone as they had the chance to
sample local delights, listen to live gamelan music and
a keroncong band, take part in traditional games and
learn how to make batik. The event, often held during
festive celebrations, is also part of Tropicana’s aim to
strengthen ties with the community. People of all ages
were engrossed in the activities, including children who
were occupied throughout the batik workshop.
Guests were treated
to a gamelan
performance
It is a good idea to teach children about batik at an early
88
age so that they may gain a basic understanding of the
art form and hopefully develop an appreciation for
the traditional fabric. “I have high hopes that the new
generation will be able to contribute to the production
of quality batik. I have no doubt that up-and-coming
designers will incorporate batik into their collections.
In another ten years, I anticipate that people would
wear batik for both work and play,” Kapten Batik
co-founder, Farhan Omar comments. The brand’s other
founder Ekram Faiz, thinks that the market will become
more competitive and that inventive batik production
methods will increase. He notes that it will generate
more employment possibilities for Malaysians. “Batik
is one-of-a-kind because it is made skilfully by hand
rather than machine-made. Despite being produced in
the same batch, each piece of batik is unique. Seeing
the fresh and brilliant colour after a dyeing process is
such a wonderful treat.”

So Shien Yong has always wanted to own a
Tropicana property ever since he was a boy,
and he has his heart set on a lovely corner lot
at Tropicana Golf & Country Resort (“TGCR”) in
Petaling Jaya. While he is still working towards
that goal, the young man has at least been able
to partner with Tropicana in April this year. “I
remember seeing a corner lot property for sale
at TGCR when I was in high school.
To one day acquire a property there would
be a blessing!” he exclaims, adding that the
opportunity to collaborate with Tropicana
recently was an added advantage and
motivation for him. The founder and director
of Flawless Group Sdn Bhd, which creates
Apple Watch covers under the brand name
Amarald Co., says his company had an event
at the Tropicana Gardens Office Tower where
his clients were invited to collect their Amarald
Co. sets at the Experiential Hall, a luxurious
event space with breathtaking views of a golf
club. “As a start-up company, working with
Tropicana, which has developed impressive
landmarks throughout Malaysia, is a huge
honour for us.” He notes that his company’s
values are in sync with Tropicana’s. “To us, it’s
all about the customer. Our loyal customers,
the driving force behind the success of our
company, are always at the forefront of our
business.”
Shien Yong got his business idea in June last
year when he noticed that the popularity of
Apple Watches had increased but there were
few choices for customising them. “All Apple
watches look very generic as the only way to
customise them is by changing the strap.”

After scouting for watchmakers, designers, marketeers
and content creators, Shien Yong and his team spent
months planning, designing and developing Amarald Co.
prior to its January 2022 launch. “A common reaction
from someone who has seen our products is, ‘Wow, these
are gorgeous’. Not only have we attracted watch lovers
as clients, but we’re also getting a positive response from
individuals wishing to update their wristwear.” What
makes Amarald Co. special is its customers, says Shien
Yong. “Our customers exhibit a distinct personality
trait that we can identify. Each of them has a single
goal in mind: to stand out from the crowd. They are
bold, daring and willing to express themselves in
unconventional ways.” Before recommending an Amarald
Co. creation to a potential customer, he needs to learn
more about the customer’s interests, style preferences
and other factors. “Each of our frame is unique to its
owner in terms of material, style, serial code and colour.”
The Rose Gold Silicon Classic is Shien Yong’s personal
favourite. “It suits many different occasions, like business
meetings, social gatherings, or even activities like golfing
and jogging.” Shien Yong points out that Amarald Co. is a
complementary product to the Apple Watch, and there
aren’t many other retailers in this area. “Eventually, we
want to be able to call ourselves pioneers in the field
of smart device upgrades and customisation,” he says,
adding that he is looking into expanding his business in
Southeast Asia.

THE
OF
MAKEUP
Whether your skin tone is light, medium or dark, our beauty
professionals share their makeup tips to help you look your best!
FOUNDATION
Narrow down your options to three shades that appear
to be a good fit and apply each shade in the form of
short lines along your jawline. The most suitable shade
should disappear into your skin.
Tip: The ideal way to apply foundation is to blend it in
with your finger pad, then spread it evenly across the
face with a sponge.
CONCEALER
Choose one shade lighter than your natural complexion.
Smooth it outward using light tapping motions with the
pad of your ring finger for a natural finish.
POWDER
Loose powder sets foundation and concealer so that
they last longer. If you can’t find a shade that matches
your skin tone, opt for a translucent one.
Tip: Sprinkle some loose powder under the eyes
before applying eyeshadow so that any eyeshadow
powder that lands there may be easily brushed away.
EYESHADOW
Lighter skin tones can take almost every eyeshadow colour,
while the brown colour family as well as blues, greys and
greens are excellent for medium complexions. Those with
darker skin tones look great with bold eyeshadow colours.

Tip: Blend a dark colour into the crease of your eyes to create the illusion of deep-set eyes.
If you prefer dramatic eyes, use black in the eye creases and along the lash line, and then
shade outward. For seductive peepers, apply a light colour all over the eyelids and then
sweep on a deeper colour into the crease, as well as along the upper and lower lash lines.
From left: June Tan,
Iqa Zamri and Arina Zaidi
EYELINER
Make your eyes look more appealing by lining the top of your lash lines with eyeliner. For
brighter peepers, line the lower rims of your eyes with white eyeliner.
BLUSHER
Blushers in baby pink, light peach and berry-plum hues work well on fair skin. Rosy pinks,
warm peach and mauve colours complement medium skin tones. If you have dark skin, try
blushers in peach, plum, bronze or brick red.
Tip: To define your cheekbones, suck in your cheeks until you see an indentation below
the apples of your cheeks. Apply a dark-coloured blusher or a bronzer and work it down
that indentation.
96
LIPS
Lighter complexions look best with pink-toned lipsticks, shades of mauve complement
medium skin tones, while berry hues look good on dark skin. Still unsure? Get a red lipstick
with blue undertones as it goes well with every skin colour.

working in finance and decided to pursue her interest in beauty. “I put my accountancy
degree to good use for several years, but then something told me I should do what I
enjoy. I’ve been doing makeup and hairstyling for ten years now and I’ve never been
happier”. Her makeup tip? “Always wear mascara as it “opens up” the eyes, and trust
the power of a lipstick, which enhances your overall look. It’s magic in a tube!”.

WORKPLACE
WELLNESS
AWARENESS
Healthy and happy employees are more productive, engaged and
fulfilled in their jobs. Here are 10 workplace wellness strategies
TROPICANA MAGAZINE
YOGA AT WORK
Some companies arrange yoga classes
to keep employees’ minds focused on
the present moment and away from
their problems and anxieties. Even a
few minutes of yoga may invigorate
and prepare one for the day ahead.
SHORT BREAKS
Take breaks throughout the day. Rather
than remaining seated, get up and take
a walk. Leave your workstation even if
it’s just for five minutes to get coffee,
food from the pantry or simply to gaze
out the window.
STAND UP
Avoid sitting down for too long. You
could stand when you’re reading
documents, talking to a colleague or
when using the phone. This will make
your blood flow better and burn more
calories, too.
OUTDOOR MEETINGS
Why not hold meetings outside the
office? After all, a meeting while
walking in nature promotes physical
activity and is a wonderful approach
to stimulate creativity. It’s certainly a
breath of fresh air.
FINANCIAL WELLNESS
Financial stress can affect performance.
Companies could help by organising a
workshop led by an external expert
or someone from the finance team
on issues such as budgeting, debt
reduction and saving strategies.
USEFUL APPS
Some Apps are beneficial to job
performance. Elevate is a game-like
App that provides personalised brain
training. Then there is the Power Nap
App for employees to experience ‘the
power of the power nap’.
STRESS MANAGEMENT
By providing stress management
training, companies may aid their
staff in coping with stress and
building resilience. LinkedIn offers six
courses on themes such as enhancing
resilience and coping with loss.
NEW ENVIRONMENT
With the new normal, organisations
are reconsidering their workplace
design to guarantee the safety of
their employees, including ensuring
social distancing, physical comfort
and safety, and activity-based
working (ABW) environment.
FAMILY CARE
When an employee’s home life is
in disarray, it shows up at work.
Employers could demonstrate their
concern for their employees by
offering benefits such as childcare,
family events and a flexible work
schedule.
EXTENDED HELP
Organisations realise that happy
employees are more productive in
both their personal and professional
lives. So, they help their staff with
non-working needs like connect them
with counsellors to help with finance,
legal or other matters should they
require.

TIME-SAVING
KITCHEN
HACKS
With too much to do and not enough time,
we’ve got you covered at least when it
comes to cooking
100
BREAD AND WATER If your
bread is somewhat stale, simply
pour some water over it and
throw it in the oven to make it
fresh again.
EASY PEEL To easily remove the
skin from a potato, boil it for a
few minutes, then dunk it into a
bowl of ice-cold water. The skin
will slide right off when you peel.
TROPICANA MAGAZINE
QUICK AND EASY Making a
quick stir-fry with minced meat,
vegetables and spices in a wok is
one of the simplest methods to
overcome time constraints. It’s a
filling dish that goes well with rice.
VERSATILE Buy a rotisserie chicken
from the grocery store or deli the next
time you’re in a hurry. The flesh from
the drumsticks, thighs and wings can be
used in salads, sandwiches or fried rice,
while the breast parts can be saved for
another recipe.
STOCK UP Stock up on items you
use frequently. Noodles, pastas,
eggs and other staples can be
stored for a considerable amount
of time. Sauces, purees, and
pastes like ginger and garlic can
also be kept on hand.
FREEZE Prepare and freeze
sandwiches, pan-fried fish, meat and
chicken. You can also freeze stews,
soups and even rendang. Brownies,
cakes and muffins freeze well too. It
simplifies meal prep as all you have to
do is thaw and microwave.
101
KEEP THEM FRESH To keep your
weekly groceries fresh, line the
bottom of your crisper drawer
with paper towels or a thin
cotton/muslin cloth.
SO LONG, SOGGY! Reheating soggy
pizza or roti canai leftovers might
cause them to become dry and
bland. Keep it fresh by placing it in
the microwave with a cup of water
and heating it.

JULY/AUGUST 2022 BEAUTY FOCUS
GOODNESS FROM
THE SEA
Inspired by Scandinavian principles and powered by Ocean
Silk Technology, Sachajuan is the premier name in hair care
104
Its name originates from its founders Sacha Mitic and Juan Rosenlind who combined their names
when they opened their salon in Stockholm, Sweden in 1997. After experimentation with different
brands without finding the desired performance or style, they introduced their first products in
2004. These include shampoos, conditioners, serums and more. The brand’s approach to haircare
is simple - cleanse, condition and add treatments if needed. Sachajuan’s uniqueness lies in its
patented Ocean Silk Technology - a cocktail of proteins and mineral extracts derived from sea
algae. Its products contain extracts from two cold-water algae naturally harvested from the
ocean namely rhodophycea and chondrus crispus. The former is known for strengthening hair,
increasing elasticity and adding moisture to it. It works on the interior of the hair, boosting the
hair’s mineral balance with magnesium, calcium, manganese and zinc, which can get depleted by
daily damage. Chondrus crispus works mainly on the surface of the hair. It has a higher calcium
and zinc content, which helps to increase shine and protect hair from surface damage. Both of
these algae hold great nourishing and normalising properties for the scalp. Suffice to say, it is the
Ocean Silk Technology that makes Sachajuan special.

FOR HEAVENLY
HAIR
Read on to learn how to maintain your crowning glory
1
Wet hair is three times more susceptible
to breaking, so handle it with care. Do
not overly rub wet hair with a towel. Use a
wide-tooth comb to detangle hair but avoid
excessive combing and brushing damp or
wet hair.
2
While blow drying, begin with the
lowest heat setting and gradually
increase heat as needed. Whenever possible,
let your hair dry naturally.
106
3
The best way to maintain healthy hair
and avoid split ends is to get regular
haircuts, preferably once every 10 to 12
weeks.
4
Hair follicles and sebaceous glands
may be stimulated by increasing your
omega-3 fatty acid intake. This will boost
scalp health. Salmon, sardines, flaxseed and
yoghurt are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
5
Harsh shampoos, treatments and
styling products have the most impact
on hair health. Other factors include stress,
excessive alcohol intake, low-calorie and
crash diets, low thyroid hormone and some
medicines for arthritis, depression, heart
problems and high blood pressure.

Certain animals can provide comfort and assistance to people with disabilities
120
A disability can have an impact on daily life, affecting heart
rate, communication, and inducing sadness. A cuddly pet,
such as a cat or dog, can help to mitigate these adverse
consequences. Since depression is one of the most common
issues that the disabled face, they can get the motivation and
sense of responsibility they need to make a positive change
if they have a pet they need to take care of. When battling
depression, caring for others can come more readily than
caring for oneself. As a result, an animal’s natural disposition
to play can have positive, long-term effects on a person’s
mental health.
Apart from cats and dogs, gerbils, hamsters and dwarf rabbits
make excellent pets for persons suffering from depression.
Most rodent pets provide intelligent and entertaining
interactions. For the wheelchair-bound, service dogs make
perfect companions as they are trained to open doors,
handle light switches, and pick up or recover objects from the
ground or from distant spots. Greyhound, German shepherd,
labrador retriever and golden retriever are among the
best dog breeds for wheelchair users. Other types of
dogs, like pugs, are excellent emotional support animals.
Dachshunds make great therapy animals because they are
friendly, calm, and gentle. Cats, on the other hand, are
adept at detecting people’s moods and depression. When
they sense your sadness, they may come close to you as
if to console you.
