NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2022 EDITOR'S NOTE
Editor ' s Note
Time has passed once again much faster than we would have liked. When the clock strikes midnight
on December 31, we can start afresh - a rebirth, in a sense. As the New Year begins, many of us
feel compelled to make positive changes in our lives, embark on exciting new adventures and
finally put to rest the demons of the past year. Let’s greet 2023 with joy and enthusiasm. Be
passionate about your goals and be motivated to maintaining a positive outlook if you want to
achieve them in the coming year. Our cover stars, Nick Chong and Zoee Low are driven, optimistic
and enthusiastic. They run Synthesis Aesthetic, a full-service beauty salon, as a team. Since starting
Synthesis Aesthetic over ten years ago, the married couple has expanded their business to three
locations, including its headquarters at Tropicana Gardens Mall in Tropicana Indah, Petaling Jaya.
“We believe that flawless skin is within everyone’s reach, and it is our mission to help you realise
your aesthetic goals. After all, all great accomplishments have their beginnings in a dream,” says
Nick. On the subject of dreams, Tropicana Aman’s final Signature Villa Series, Hana Residences is
unrivalled. The beautifully-designed bungalows and semi-detached residences are situated within
a private enclave. Plus, the development’s elevated perch affords stunning vistas of the surrounding
area. Since this is our year-end issue, we have compiled a list of locations where you may celebrate
the New Year as well as destinations where you can play golf while your family enjoys a holiday
filled with activities. We also have fantastic tips for an eco-friendly Christmas as well as creative
gift-wrapping concepts that are guaranteed to impress. As for Christmas gifts, check out our Tech,
Jewels, Beauty and Showcase sections, where you will find gift ideas, which are so interesting that
you might end up buying them all for yourself! With that, we would like to wish everyone a Merry
Christmas and a Happy 2023! Let's cheers to the future together!

The Tropicana Golf & Country Resort (“TGCR”) is
proud to host its Anniversary Cup once again after
a two years break. The event which took place on
27 August 2022 drew the strong support of 140

At the prize giving ceremony, General Manager
Ravindran Varnagopal thanked all the members for
their continuous support through the years. He also
shared that this has allowed the club to grow in its
reputation and presence.
“The 230 acres golf club which comprises of 27-
hole East and West Course was founded in 1990
with the East Course opened later in 1993 and
the clubhouse in March 1994. It has been almost
30 years since TCGR was officially opened on 13
January 1996.
“Do you remember the club’s first hole in one? The
date was 1 February 1993, which was 29 years ago,
scored by Lim Jit Toong at Hole 13 East Course
1. Let’s continue to make memories like this
together,” said Ravindran to loud cheers.
The Anniversary Cup was first held in 1994 and
TGCR will continue with this great tradition in the
years to come.

Tropicana Foundation reaches out to support homeless animals

TROPICANA MAGAZINE
Property developer Tropicana Corporation Berhad (“Tropicana”)
reached out to support more than 400 rescued pets and strays
at My Pets Haven, Setia Alam and PAWS Animal Welfare Shelter
(“PAWS”), Ara Damansara. Organised through the Group’s charity
arm, Tropicana Foundation, the initiative saw 20 volunteers
pitching in to clean cages, prepare food, walk and feed the
animals, and more.
The Foundation donated 380kg of dry pet food, 50L of hand
wash liquid, 60L of bleach, and 60kg of soap powder in total,
as well as the services of volunteers comprising Tropicana staff,
who donated their time and energy. The initiative was first held
at My Pets Haven on 27 September 2022, followed by PAWS on
15 October 2022.
Dion Tan, Group Managing Director of Tropicana, shared that this
campaign is important to help raise awareness on the issue of pet
abandonment and strays in the society.
“This charitable endeavour marks the growth of Tropicana
Foundation as we extend aid to our furry friends. Animal welfare
is an important issue that needs to be addressed. These homeless
animals have their rights but in the long run, strays on our streets
equally pose a possible threat to public health.
“As a society, we all have our roles to play and with this initiative,
Tropicana will endeavour to Redefine the Art of Living for both
man and animal,” he said.
Founder of My Pets Haven, 65-year-old Aileen Lee, stressed on
the need for the public to start adopting and stop buying. She
also underlined the importance of spaying and neutering these
homeless animals to control the population of stray dogs and cats.
Running the shelter alone, Lee, better known as Aunty Aileen,
starts her day as early as 5am to walk the dogs, prepare their
meals, clean their cages, and more. She relies greatly on
volunteers for help with all the chores to provide a conducive and
clean environment for the cats and dogs at her shelter. She also
shared that the shelter constantly needs funding for food and
medical treatment for the animals.
Over at PAWS, the shelter is currently housing more than 400
cats and dogs, and is also in need of the assistance from the
public, be it in cash or in kind, as well as volunteers.

TROPICANA MAGAZINE
A TERRIFIC
CHRISTMAS
Experience an amazing holiday getaway at one of these
great destinations in the region
While a white Christmas is the quintessential
symbol of the holiday season, those of us who
call the tropics home know all too well that this is
a fantasy. On the other hand, we have a tendency
to overlook the fact that celebrating Christmas
in the tropics can actually be quite enjoyable.
In fact, people in other parts of the world would
go to great lengths to escape the cold and visit
tropical countries. Here are some of the top
tropical Christmas getaways for an unforgettable
celebration.
THAILAND
There are not many Christians in this predominantly
Buddhist country, and 25 December is not a
national holiday except in several provinces.
However, the spirit of Christmas is still very much
present. You may find Christmas trees, lights
and decorations in many malls over the holiday
season. In fact, the Christmas period is the best
time to travel to Thailand. When planning a trip to
The Land of Smiles in December, you can pretty
much count on the weather to be on your side,
with lots of sunshine and very little to no rain at
all. Daytime highs often hover around 25°C to 30°C
while evening lows can dip to 15°C.
One of the most vibrant capitals in Southeast Asia,
Bangkok is an effortless mix of the modern and
the traditional, making it an absolute must-see. In
this city, not only can you find trendy restaurants
and exciting nightlife, but also discover Buddhist
temples, discount shopping and wonderful street
cuisine. For a beach break, head to Pattaya, which
is situated about an hour south of Bangkok. Along
with its reputation for a pulsating nightlife, Pattaya
is famous for its fantastic water sports and diving
excursions to some of Thailand’s top wreck sites.
If you'd rather stay on an island, Phuket is the
place to go. The extent to which locals have
adopted Western Christmas customs might
surprise you. Even though many of them are either
Buddhists or Muslims, they spare no effort to make
sure tourists have the best Christmas ever. At
several of the island’s five-star resorts, you’ll
discover special Christmas meals and celebrations,
along with games and activities suitable for the
whole family.

Golden Christmas
trees in Hong Kong
HONG KONG
Thanks to its Winterfest, Hong Kong has firmly
established itself as one of the best places to enjoy
a tropical Christmas. There is solid justification for
its global fame. The city morphs into a magical
winter wonderland decked out in Christmas trees,
artificial snow, fairy lights, Santa Claus and his
reindeer statues and other seasonal decorations
throughout the holiday season.Then there is Hong
Kong Disneyland, which is an excellent choice for
a Christmas vacation with the family. If Disneyland
isn’t your cup of tea, there are plenty of activities
to experience in the city such as festive parades,
fireworks, free live performances and carolling.
Carolers from local churches and schools perform
in public spaces like parks and shopping centres
in the days leading up to Christmas and on
Christmas eve. Free performances are also usually
presented by music groups and orchestras. And,
don’t forget to spend time to appreciate the retail
experience. To help clear out their inventory, many
Hong Kong stores, including designer boutiques
reduce prices and offer attractive discounts in the
month of December.
50
SINGAPORE
Despite the lack of winter wonderland trappings
such as snow and reindeer, Christmas in
Singapore is just as wonderful as it is anywhere
else in the West. The dazzling display of colourful
lights around Orchard Road is a must-see and will
surely put you in a merry mood. Another fantastic
location to witness an extravaganza of lights,
sound and spectacle is at the annual Christmas
Wonderland event at Gardens by the Bay. Dubbed
Singapore’s biggest Christmas fair, it features a
festive market, carnival games, rides, giant light
sculptures, Santa’s Grotto and many other fun
things to do and see. The artificial snow, towering
Christmas tree and Christmas carols all contribute
to the holiday spirit. It should come as no surprise
that the popular event, which is expected to take
place from 30 November to 26 December 2022 is
likely to attract more than three million visitors.

“One of our best family investments was a home golf
simulator that we installed before the pandemic hit. During
the MCO, while people were complaining about not being
able to golf, we kept on playing, and we were getting better
at our game. When my dad finally went back to playing
again with his friends, they wondered how he was suddenly
hitting the ball further than them and scoring way better!”
Dani exclaims. BigShot also has three Private Golfing Suites
with karaoke, suitable for parties, family celebrations,
corporate presentations or hosting corporate events. What’s
more, the venue features a multi-sports simulator offering
games such as football, frisbee, baseball and foosball. There

of the new year, Sydney is transformed into a site of sparkling
celebrations and beauty. One of the most technologically
advanced fireworks displays in the world takes place over
Sydney Harbour, setting the entire city ablaze with festivities.
Neighbourhoods across the city offer unique opportunities to
experience Sydney’s rich cultural heritage, iconic landmarks
and thriving daily life. More than one million people gather
along Sydney Harbour’s foreshore to see the fireworks every
year, and the show is broadcast live to more than 425 million
viewers around the world. The stunning Sydney Harbour, the
gorgeous Sydney Harbour Bridge and the magnificent Sydney
Opera House will be the focal points of two spectacular
fireworks shows, the first of which will take place at 9pm and
the second at midnight.
BALI, INDONESIA
If you’re looking for a spectacular setting to ring in the new
year, the Island of the Gods is a strong contender. Every type
of traveller can find their ideal activity in Bali, from the calm
and private to the bold and boisterous. You’re bound to get
the coolest clubbing experience in Bali because the swankiest
beachfront clubs offer the biggest parties. What’s more,
in south Bali, there are numerous private beach events that
provide a bustling and never-ending nightlife. Be sure to check
out the events and parties in Kuta, Seminyak, Sanur, Canggu
and Nusa Dua. For a romantic and relaxing atmosphere, head to
the nearest beach. Being outside in the fresh air by the sea is a

wonderful way to unwind. And, as the clock strikes twelve, you
will be treated to the spectacle of fireworks, which will light up
the night sky and cast a beautiful glow over the water.
• Langkawi is an ideal island destination for ringing in the new
year, as there are many places to party, dine, and relax on the
beach. The tropical island paradise is also home to Tropicana
Cenang, a premium integrated development by the sea.
SEOUL, KOREA
The passing of one year and the arrival of the next are both
publicly declared in South Korea by the customary ringing of a
bell located at a key location. The Bosingak Bell, which is close
to the Jonggak Station (Line 1), is the most recognisable bell
in Seoul. Each year, at the stroke of midnight on 31 December,
a total of 16 people, including the mayor of Seoul, ring the bell
33 times. The ringing of the bell is a common ritual in Korean
culture since the Joseon Dynasty when the bell was rung daily
to announce the beginning and end of the day. However, many
Koreans prefer to welcome the new year by witnessing the
first dawn of the year from the country’s eastern coast or the
tallest nearby mountains. They believe that wishes made while
witnessing the first dawn of the year are granted more readily
than those uttered at any other time. One of the easiest summits
to reach is Haneul Park or Sky Park, which offers a 360° view of
Seoul. You can get there by walking up a wooden staircase with
291 steps or by taking an electric tram.
• Resorts World Genting, Genting Highlands also provides a lively
environment in which to welcome in the new year, with a variety
of restaurants, nightlife and entertainment options. It is 12km
away from Tropicana Grandhill.

The amphitheatre, exercise terrace, play pavilion, reflexology area and many
other leisurely opportunities are just some of the options that are waiting to
be discovered. This opulent tropical refuge also has direct access to the
85 acres Central Park that is filled with lush greenery and over at the
exclusive Recreational Hub, more activities await you.

The abundance of facilities here — a seven-kilometre walking and
biking trail, lakes and more — make it easy to adopt a better and
healthier lifestyle through activities such as walking, jogging and
cycling. With so many attractive qualities, Tropicana Aman’s final
Signature Villa Series is fittingly named Hana. It is a beautiful name
which means flower in Japanese, number one in Korean, and shine,
glow, give out love, or radiance in Maori, to reflect the brilliance of
the address.

TRANQUILITY
AT HOME
Reflexology paths, jogging tracks and lakes are
just some of the amenities bringing property
developments like Tropicana Heights and Tropicana
Metropark to the forefront of peace and well-being

TROPICANA MAGAZINE
In order to recreate the experience of
a true retreat, Tropicana places a high
value on holistic well-being and the
link between the mind, body and soul.
To ensure residents enjoy a high quality
of life, Tropicana’s amenities foster a
variety of healthy pastimes, including
physical activity and exercise, as well
as a connection to nature. For instance,
one of the most alluring features of
Tropicana Heights is its 16-acre Central
Park featuring walkways with a breadth
of three metres and a 750-metre
Linear Lake, which provide a healthy
environment for residents’ overall wellbeing.
There are also lookout pavilions
and floating gazebos, which invite
passers-by to take in the serenity of the
park’s water features.

Tropicana Heights
is distinguished
by many features,
including a lake
and lush greenery

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2022 NATURE
Exercise facilities and spaces such as a children’s
playground, basketball court, and sports lawn can
also be found here. The township, envisioned as a
modern village in the heart of Kajang, was designed
in harmony with the surrounding community and
environment, with preservation and revitalisation
of the surrounding natural eco-system taking
precedence. The Recreational Hub located in the
heart of Tropicana Heights features luxurious facilities
consistent with the township’s prestige including an
Olympic-sized infinity pool overlooking the Linear
Lake, gymnasium, sauna, rooftop tennis court and
more.
Committed to sustainable development, the township
is built based on an environmentally-conscious
design that is inclusive of the community, focusing
on characteristics such as topography and rainwater
management; wide, wheelchair-accessible paths; and
gross pollution traps; among others. Additionally,
Tropicana Heights’ units feature expansive, open
layouts with double-volume spaces, unobstructed
views and enough windows to facilitate natural airflow
and indirect lighting. At Tropicana Metropark, highrise
homes encircle a lake that is located within the
development’s Urban Park, bringing together the best
of city living and the great outdoors in one convenient
location. The development’s philosophy is reflected
in the thoughtful incorporation of scenic, open
spaces. Spread out across more than 88 acres of
freehold land in Subang Jaya, this integrated mixed
development, comprising residential, commercial
and recreational areas, is designed around a 9.2-
acre park complete with a canal. Inspired by the
Yarra River in Melbourne, Australia the design
emphasises spatial permeability and connectivity.
The energy of the city and the natural environment
are brought together in a way that is seamless,
creating a synergy that makes it possible for this
development to continue to be appealing thanks to
the wholesome value proposition it offers to those
looking for a holistic urban life.
Hills, slopes and lawns rise gently over the walkways
and waterways in the park, complementing the
environment and offering ample open space for
residents. There is also a 1.3km jogging track around
and through the park, while the bridges across the
park provide easy access to the development’s
commercial areas. Additionally, the park has
two promenades, an open lawn, fitness station,
playground as well as a reflexology zone. Not only
do these amenities make the lives of the residents
easier and provide them with a taste of luxury, but
they also enable them to make better use of their
time - a commodity that can never be replaced.

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2022 TRAILBLAZER
THE MULTIFACETED TALENTS OF
MICHELLE YEOH
Michelle Yeoh is as busy as ever, starring in the Avatar sequel and Everything,
Everywhere, All at Once, which may earn her an Oscar nomination
74
Tan Sri Dr Michelle Yeoh has had a
long and illustrious career in the movie
business - over 30 years - but now that
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once
is garnering awards buzz and roles in
Avatar: The Way of Water, A Haunting
in Venice, and Transformers: Rise Of
The Beasts, she is at the pinnacle of the
industry. Michelle has gotten some of
the best reviews of her career for her
latest role in Daniel Kwan and Daniel
Scheinert’s sci-fi adventure, Everything
Everywhere All at Once, with many
predicting she will be nominated for an
Academy Award for Best Actress.
And, of course almost everyone is
excited about the upcoming sequel to
sci-fi epic Avatar titled Avatar: The Way
of Water, where she plays scientist Dr
Karina Mogue alongside Kate Winslet,
Sigourney Weaver and Edie Falco.
Last August, Michelle made headlines
when she was awarded an honorary
Doctorate of Fine Arts by the American
Film Institute, a non-profit organisation
dedicated to filmmaking and its various
disciplines.
And, most recently, the Ipoh-born of
Hokkien descent, received the first
ever Share Her Journey Groundbreaker
award at the Toronto International
Film Festival. Michelle’s first on-screen
appearance was in a Guy Laroche
wristwatch commercial with Datuk
Jackie Chan in 1984. A year later, she
got her acting career started by starring
in action movies with Hong Kong-based
D&B Films, a company co-founded by her
ex-husband businessman Dickson Poon.
The former Miss Malaysia/World 1983
rose to fame in the 1990s after appearing
in several Hong Kong kung fu films,
including Yes Madam! and Police Story
3: Supercop. Despite having no formal
martial arts training, she does her own
daring and risky stunts. Once, she jumped
from a speeding van onto a convertible,
bounced off the windshield, and came
dangerously close to losing her life as she
fell to the ground.
It is her passion for acting that she’s
willing to take such great risks. In real
life, Michelle is the United Nations
Development Programme (“UNDP”)
goodwill ambassador for greater road
safety worldwide. Michelle has been
UNDP’s goodwill ambassador since 2016.
Her job as goodwill ambassador ranges
from shining a spotlight on the work
UNDP does all over the world to help
achieve equality for the most vulnerable
and address the effects of climate
change, participating in awareness
raising initiatives and events, mobilising
support through digital platforms, as well
as speaking at high-level meetings and
events at the UN headquarters in New
York.
On the acting front, Michelle gained
global stardom when she proved to be
a mighty match for Pierce Brosnan in
the James Bond franchise, Tomorrow
Never Dies. However, it was her
warrior character in Ang Lee’s multiple
Academy Award-winning Crouching
Tiger, Hidden Dragon that made an
indelible mark on her career. What’s
noteworthy is that her acting strength
is not limited to flying kicks and
daredevil stunts. Michelle is a versatile
actress having starred in movies
of various genres like the titillating
tear-jerker Memoirs of a Geisha,
the biopic The Lady, where she
played Aung San Suu Kyi and the hit
rom-com Crazy Rich Asians, which
earned her a Screen Actors Guild Award
nomination.
The petite actress, who turned 60
on 6 August, keeps herself busy by
spending time with her fiance Jean
Todt, former president of the Fédération
Internationale de l’Automobile, which
oversees the Formula One World
Championship, working and travelling
between her homes in Ipoh, Paris and
Geneva. In a recent interview with Town
& Country magazine, she said that her
guiding principle is to do what you want
to do with passion. “Our life is a gift, and
hopefully when it’s time to go I will say,
‘I lived it to the fullest’,” she was quoted
as saying.

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2022 COVER STORY
76

TROPICANA MAGAZINE
Patrons at a restaurant close to the studio couldn’t
help but take notice of the attractive power
couple as they pulled up in their sleek black SUV
for our cover photo shoot. Nick Chong, who is
almost 50, and Zoee Low, 42, do not look a day
older than their ages and could be mistaken for
movie stars thanks to their lean physique, flawless
complexions and lustrous hair. Good looks aside,
the two who have been together for over 19 years
not only represent the ideal example of a married
couple, but they also make a formidable business
team. Together, they run a beauty company called
Synthesis Aesthetic, and between them they have
20 years of professional experience in different
fields prior to starting their own business.
MAKING
77
THEIR
BUSINESS
Nick and Zoee founded Synthesis Aesthetic
to help others in attaining beautiful,
healthy skin, drawing on their combined 20
years of professional experience

“I would say that Zoee and I make a great team as
I handle the management aspect and she manages
the operations. I have 10 years’ experience in multilevel
marketing while Zoee worked with well-known
dermatologist Dr. Ko Chung Beng for 10 years,” Nick says.
Synthesis Aesthetic provides treatments from head to
toe including body waxing, facials, eyebrow embroidery,
slimming and laser facial. The latter is the most popular
as laser aids in the gentle removal of dead skin cells. This,
in turn, results in numerous benefits, such as minimising
post-acne scars, pigmentation and open pores.
According to Nick, every session helps to brighten
the skin, lighten pigmentation and improve product
absorption. “Laser is the same as exfoliation, but
self-exfoliation with harsh chemicals can lead to skin
inflammation without expert supervision. After each
laser treatment, we will apply cooling masks and
perform a relaxing massage to help reduce redness and
promote healthy skin,” Zoee explains.
In addition to the laser facial, Synthesis Aesthetic also
offers the Bio Meridian treatment, which was developed
in Japan. “It delivers electrical impulses throughout the
body to stimulate the production of more red blood
cells and increase oxygen flow to the entire body. This
treatment will leave you feeling rejuvenated.”
One of the latest offerings at Synthesis Aesthetic is the
Female Ovarian treatments, which will benefit women
who suffer from frequent vaginal discomfort. According
to Zoee, the treatments were developed in Korea using
only natural ingredients and have received unanimous
praise from her employees who have tried them.
Synthesis Aesthetic also has its own skincare product
range with natural, organic ingredients from Switzerland.
“Our products do not contain harmful chemicals other
than the preservatives used to stabilise the chemical
compounds of the active ingredients. They are designed
to be gentle on the skin, making them ideal for all skin
types. We currently have ten products, including a Gentle
Cleansing Gel, Essential Facial Toner, Clarity Essence
(serum), Vitamin C Cream (moisturiser), Anti-acne Cream
and UV Glow (sunscreen).”
The majority of their clientele are walk-ins as well as family
members and friends. The age range includes everyone
from teenagers to senior citizens. “We also cater to men
and the most popular treatment among our male clients
is Micro-Hydrabration, which facilitates in the removal
of black and white heads. For our male clients who do
not have skin concerns, we recommend the premium
treatment, which is designed to help with hydration and
overall skin health. The treatment incorporates fresh
caviar, which has a revitalising and restorative effect on
the skin,” Nick explains.
He notes that regardless of age and gender, Synthesis
Aesthetic can help anyone achieve beautiful, healthy
skin. “Synthesis Aesthetic has been around for over 13
years. We will continue to strive to help individuals with
unsolved skin issues. If you are committed to improve the
appearance of your skin, then we will do everything in
our capacity to assist you in accomplishing your aesthetic
aspirations.”
Working together has undoubtedly brought the pair
closer but there are also challenges that they have to
deal with. “The drawback of co-managing a business is

the stress of work and the ongoing struggle to balance
personal and professional obligations. My wife and I always
take a moment to discuss any disagreements that may
arise over a cup of tea. Communication is essential to our
relationship’s success,” says Nick. The most important
thing they have learned is to keep their personal lives
outside of the business and professional lives in the office.
“Once at home, we remind ourselves that office matters
should remain confined to the workplace. Whenever one
of us notices that something is interfering with the other’s
work, we make it a point to find a quiet place to discuss
it. Then the rest of the day is devoted to seizing the day’s
opportunities,” shares Zoee.
There are currently three Synthesis Aesthetic outlets in the
Klang Valley and the one at Tropicana Gardens Mall is its
newest location, having recently relocated from eCurve,
which had been in operation for over ten years. “We’ve
always wanted to operate a business in Tropicana Gardens
Mall for a variety of reasons, including its broad customer
base, strategic location, proximity to the MRT station and
the NKVE Highway. Plus, Tropicana is one of the biggest
and most stable organisations in the real estate industry.
We are a business couple, therefore we have to think long
and hard before we enter a new market with the intention
of forming a sustainable partnership there. We need to
evaluate not just the clientele, the site and the facilities,
but also the experience of the team behind it and whether
or not they have the ability to grow and adapt over time.
Ultimately, we seek a partner and a location where we can
sustain our business over the long term and Tropicana fits
the bill perfectly.”
“My friend and I had the
laser treatment at Synthesis
Aesthetic, and we both thought
it was fantastic - soothing and
refreshing on the skin. A big
thank you for the wonderful
service and the friendly, helpful
staff. We will definitely return.”
Jacquelene
“I have been doing facials at Synthesis
Aesthetic regularly and I am very happy
and satisfied with the service they
provide. The first time I went to them,
I had a lot of pimples and acne on my
face but after some treatments my
complexion has improved tremendously.
No more pimples and acne. I’m also
using their products, which are really
good! I feel confident and prettier now
thanks to Synthesis Aesthetic.”
Sheila Correa Ramos
“I’m so glad to have
discovered a great place
to do my facial treatment.
For someone who just
experienced acne breakouts,
my priority is for my skin to
heal and stay healthy. Thanks
to Synthesis Aesthetic, my
breakouts are gone!”
Justine Enide
“Love the services
provided as well as the
friendly and dedicated
staff. Always looking
forward to my next visit.
Well done!”

GET THAT
J.LO GLOW
Jennifer Lopez recently celebrated her 53rd birthday
by giving us a gift: JLO Body

TROPICANA MAGAZINE
Nothing can stop superstar Jennifer Lopez from pursuing
her passions. In between singing engagements, interviews,
photo shoots and her surprise wedding to Ben Affleck,
she released JLO Body, the body skincare product from
her beauty line JLO Beauty. The Firm + Flaunt Targeted
Booty Balm is, of course, the first product offering, given
that Jennifer, also known as J.Lo, has an incredible figure,
not to mention a derriere famous enough to merit its own
Instagram account. The product is a clinically tested, highperformance
formula inspired by the most iconic posterior
that promises to visibly firm and hydrate skin and diminish
the appearance of stretch marks for a smoother, more
refined-looking booty. It contains active ingredients like
guarana seed extract and pink pepperslim.
Jennifer's tip: “Apply a generous amount to the booty,
thighs, waist and any area you’d like to see visible
firming. Massage into the skin in circular motions until
fully absorbed.” As for her beauty line, JLO Beauty, which
was released early last year, fans and beauty enthusiasts
have been raving about it. The range includes a gel-cream
cleanser, hydrating cream, serum, and eye cream, among
others. Jennifer attributes her flawless skin to her mother.
So she challenged her formulators to create an inventive
compound that is newer, better, and groundbreaking,
drawing inspiration from her mother’s time-honoured
beauty secret: olive oil.

“Olive oil isn’t always great for the skin,” says Jennifer.
“So how do we take what’s moisturising and rejuvenating
about it, and combine that with other ingredients?” The
result - JLO Beauty Olive Complex - takes these legendary
properties of the olive and delivers them in a luxurious
blend that’s custom-designed for the skin to deliver
clinically shown results.” JLO Beauty Olive Complex is
anything but your mother’s olive oil. This proprietary,
antioxidant-rich blend addresses two major causes of
ageing - oxidative stress and dehydration.
“Our tagline is, ‘Beauty has no expiration date’ because to
me, ageless isn’t just a mindset - you can feel youthful at
any age and feel great, not just great for 50. The goal was
to create luxurious but accessible skincare you can afford
to use daily and products that follow you through life. Our
skincare has to work as hard as you do, so we integrated
potent ingredients in combinations and concentrations
that work. We went through over 100 rounds of product
development to bring you formulas that offer a range of
benefits such as instant as well as longer-term, clinically
shown results,” Jennifer explains.

At the heart of the collection is the
unmistakableAtelier Versace bustier. As it
is incorporated into sculptural outerwear
and sportswear shapes, its details are
simplified and updated to reflect modern
aesthetic preferences. Silhouettes are
seductive and empowering as the
bustier is revealed under open suiting
or momentarily glimpsed beneath
voluminous overcoats. A bustier can be
perceived as both overtly provocative
clothing and protective armour, giving
the wearer an air of dominance.
Deep red, plum, charcoal and black
are the predominant colours in this
collection, with occasional pops of
avocado green, pink and blue. The
contrast concept is carried on through
the collection’s use of different
textures. A long, glossy red puffer in
the style of a trench coat envelops the
wearer like a cocoon while outerwear
that features the label’s La Greca motif
in closely-shaved sheepskin is paired
with a racy latex top and tights.
Clockwise: Bodysuit with
corset boning paired
with cargo pants; new
interpretation of the classic
bomber jacket; demure yet
sexy dress with a corseted
accent; raw-edged tweed
coat tops off corset and
low-rise pants; an arresting
number perfect for postpandemic
nights out; the
La Greca motif features
prominently in this outfit;
frayed form-fitting tweed
dress with latex tights; and
fur and latex make for an
interesting combo
The new Greca Goddess range of
bags and accessories brings Versace's
heritage of myth and luxury to the
forefront. The La Greca motif sits
in perfect harmony with the golden
hardware and chain shoulder straps.
Ingeniously, the motif is repeated
across a hand-slip, allowing the bag to
be snugly held, and carried for more
spontaneous styling. Take a good
long look at Versace’s newest lineup
and you will notice that it embodies
strength, style and self-assurance,
much like Donatella Versace, who at 67
is still going strong.

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2022 HEALTH & WELLNESS
JUICE UP
YOUR HEALTH
Detoxification has many positive health effects,
including boosting the immune system and
reducing the risk of developing diseases
100

TROPICANA MAGAZINE
Toxins, which are harmful substances that
we are exposed to through water, food
and environmental sources, affect the
proper functioning of our organs. Which
is why, detoxifying the body is essential to
maintaining good health. Toxin elimination
is important for preserving mental clarity as
well as preventing health issues like lethargy,
insomnia, excess weight, backaches and
digestive disorders. Here is a collection of
quick and easy detox juice recipes. All you
need to do is put everything in a blender or
juicer, blend and drink!
GREEN GOODNESS
If you want to increase your daily
consumption of greens, blend two green
apples, one cup parsley, one cup spinach
and a cucumber. This healthy concoction
is packed with nutrients such as vitamin
K from parsley and cucumber, vitamin B
from green apple as well as iron, folate and
potassium from spinach.
IDEAL DETOX
The main ingredient in this detox juice
is a bunch of dill. Dill is an excellent
source of vitamins A and C, and it also
has trace amounts of important minerals
like manganese, iron and magnesium. In
addition to being a rich source of calcium,
dill is also beneficial to the immune system.
Mix the dill with four carrots, one lemon and
an apple. Carrots contain a lot of vitamin
A, while apples and lemons are packed
with vitamin C. Lemons also work as a mild
cleanser, which help restore the body’s
internal equilibrium.
BEET IT!
With this mixture, you can reap the antioxidant
benefits of beet without having to
put up with its overpowering taste. Simply
blending together three celery stalks, two
carrots, one beet, one green apple, 1cm
ginger and half of a lemon is all that is
required to make this healthy juice with a
flavour that is easy on the palate.
FRESH POTION
This juice supports the digestive system
and aids in the discharge of toxins and the
reduction of body heat. Ginger, cucumber
and apple come together to make a tasty
and energising juice that is good for
detoxing, especially in our hot and humid
weather. The ginger gives the drink a spicy
kick, while the freshness of the cucumber
pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the
apple.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY TONIC
This detox juice recipe contains potent
ingredients that can help reduce
inflammation. Turmeric and ginger, two
of the most effective anti-inflammatory
ingredients, are combined to create a
nutrient-dense beverage. All you need to
do is blend 1cm fresh ginger, 2cm fresh
turmeric, three celery stalks, four carrots,
an orange and half of a lemon.
REMINDERS
• Juice is best consumed on an empty
stomach first thing in the morning to
maximise nutrient absorption.
• Consume your juice as soon as possible
because the nutrients are depleted by
oxygen contact. If you want to drink later,
store the juice in the fridge in a dark glass
air-tight container.
• Before you take a sip, give your juice a
good shake so that you’re drinking an even
mixture of everything.

HOW TO HAVE
A GREEN
CHRISTMAS
'Tis the season to be jolly mindful about the environment,
and here are some tips for a green Christmas

TROPICANA MAGAZINE
GREEN CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS
When you learn that tinsel and other Christmas
ornaments cannot be recycled, the holiday spirit
quickly fades. So, why not make your own instead?
You can use dried orange, lemon or grapefruit slices,
cinnamon sticks and salt dough (modelling material,
made of flour, salt and water) to decorate the tree with.
They are all completely biodegradable. What’s more, if
kept in a cool dry place, the dried fruit slices can last up
to two years or maybe longer!
CREATE YOUR OWN WREATH
There is no question that wreaths make stunning
Christmas decorations, but there are varieties that are
better for the environment than others. Steer clear
of wreaths embellished with plastic components and
flashy embellishments. Not only are these constructed
using materials that are not sustainable, but if they are
hung outside, they can be potentially dangerous for the
health of birds and other creatures. Instead, choose a
wreath that is constructed with real, fresh foliage and
seasonal, natural embellishments whenever possible.
Make your own out of fabric that will keep its shape
year after year for an even better option.
REGIFTING AND PRE-LOVED PRESENTS
A study revealed that the amount of artificial material
created in one week is equivalent in weight to the whole
human population of the planet. Avoid adding to it by
giving away unwanted gifts or scouting for “treasures”
in charity or pre-loved shops. Making your own ecofriendly
present is another option, and it may even have
more sentimental value since you created it yourself.
ECO-FRIENDLY CHRISTMAS TREE
Despite being reusable, artificial Christmas trees are
not eco-friendly. Most are constructed of PVC, which
is bad for the environment in many ways. For example,
almost 90 percent of them are shipped all over the
world from China, increasing carbon emissions and
resource consumption. An alternative would be to
rent a Christmas tree. Or, get crafty by making your
own out of books, used bottles, ladder, driftwood or
anything your creative mind could think of. This is a
terrific way of exhibiting your Christmas joy. Plus, it
gives your Christmas decorations a personal touch and
it could be a fun family project.
AVOID FOOD WASTAGE
Although most of us are capable of finding new uses
for leftovers throughout the year, we tend to be less
frugal over the holiday season. One alternative is
to purchase fewer items. However, when you have
guests staying over, this can be quite difficult. A better
solution is to contact What a Waste (“WaW”) - a
social enterprise dedicated to collecting food surplus,
packaging it and passing it on to needy communities.
The food saved from events or contributors is packaged
on-site, and donors have the option of packing the
food themselves or requesting WaW do so on their
behalf. Once the food has been packed, weighed
and sealed, it will be quickly delivered to the nearest
beneficiary, who are mostly urban poor. For details,

CHARMING GIFT
WRAPPING
IDEAS
Flex your creative muscles with some unique
Christmas present wrapping styles
While the act of giving is more
significant than the actual gift itself, it
would be lovely to produce a beautifully
wrapped present because it shows that
you put more effort into the gesture.
However, if you’re not particularly
crafty, it can be hard to figure out which
methods of gift wrapping are the most
easy and attractive. There is a variety
of fantastic options available and
we have some suggestions for you
right here.
Don’t have any nice wrapping paper?
You may make something just as
pretty by topping a present box with a
beautiful artificial flower. For a quirky
present topper, repurpose any tinsel
you have lying around the house. Just
trim off a couple of inches from the
end and then use double-sided tape to
secure it to the gift box. Another way
of lending a whimsical look to your gift
box is by decorating it with mini pom
poms or buttons, which you can get at
any haberdashery shop. Choose red and
green colours for a Christmas-y touch or
vibrant neons for a lively surprise.
Wrapping anything up can still look
charming even if you don’t have any
fancy paper. You only need some sprigs
and a few pinecones. Simply use a
string to fasten the natural elements
and you’ll have a lovely presentation
perfect for Christmas. Layering paper
in jewel tones with lace and finishing
off the look with a satin ribbon makes
for a gift presentation that appears
luxurious and extra special.
Another alternative is to use doilies.
Crafting one-of-a-kind wrapping
paper is a breeze when using the
paper that looks like lace that is
available in a wide range of colours
and patterns. Now here’s something
that’s not just stylish but also simple.
When you think of holiday gift wrap,
black may not be the first colour that
springs to mind. However, a simple
satin ribbon in the dark tone looks
unexpectedly classy when paired with
brown kraft paper commonly used for
wrapping parcels.
For something traditional, try
Furoshiki. The wrapping technique
dates back to the Nara period in
Japan, around 710 AD, when people
used cloth to carry their belongings.
You can use handkerchiefs, bandanas,
linen napkins or any scraps of fabric
you have at home. The method?
First, spread out the fabric wrap on
a flat surface and place the gift in
the centre. Then, bring one set of
opposite corners to the middle, tie a
simple knot, and do the same with the
other corners.

ADVENTURE IS
OUT THERE!
The iconic Suzuki Jimny makes its return to Malaysia!
One of the world’s most beloved 4x4, the Suzuki Jimny has
officially made its return to Malaysian shores. Incorporating
design elements inherited from its predecessors, the new 4th
generation Jimny is instantly recognisable and even more
ready to tread on new challenges.
Since the first Jimny made its debut in 1970, it has been a
masterpiece of Suzuki’s 4WD technology. Today, the all-new
Jimny is packed with even more functionality and practicality
on both its appearance and performance. Right at the core,
it stays true to the spirits of its ancestors – small, lightweight
and a highly capable 4WD vehicle. Built to take on nature’s
challenges, SUV enthusiasts can expect more fun exploring
Malaysia’s terrains.
This fully-imported SUV from Japan comes equipped
with a 1.5L petrol engine paired with a 4-speed automatic
transmission. Jimny’s robust 1.5L engine generates strong
torque throughout a wide rpm range for efficient urban drives
and powerful off-road performance. The drive is sent to either
the rear or all four wheels via ‘ALLGRIP PRO’ system, featuring
a selectable 4WD with low-range transfer case as well as hilldescent
and hill-hold functionality.
Other essentials incorporated in the Jimny for serious fun offroading
– a ladder frame, 3-link rigid axle suspension with
coil spring, high 210mm ground clearance and three excellent
clearance angles. Weighing in at only 1,095kg (min. kerb
weight), the lightweightness of the Jimny also complements
its off-road capabilities while delivers high fuel efficiency.
Built for the digital age, drivers of the Jimny will find some
niceties including a well-featured touchscreen infotainment
system, which supports Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth
telephone and audio functions.
The Jimny comes in four different colours, Kinetic Yellow &
Bluish Black Pearl 3, Jungle Green, Medium Grey, and Bluish
Black Pearl 3 and is priced at RM174,900 on the road without
insurance. Its debut here is the second official launch of new
generation Suzuki Cars in Malaysia, under its new distributor
- Naza Eastern Motors Sdn Bhd.

The fashion industry has always been driven by
speed and style. Both are exhilarating and the
pace changes so quickly that it can be hard to
keep up with the Joneses or shall we say, Lewis
Hamilton? It’s no surprise that some of the
coolest cars come with a fashion designer, highend
brand or celebrity’s touch. Among the latest
partnership is between Porsche and tennis ace,
Emma Raducanu. The 19-year-old was recently
appointed as brand ambassador for the sports
car manufacturer.
“Porsche is one of the brands I’ve always loved
from a young age. One of my first tennis coaches
drove a 911. Whenever I turned up for practise
in the morning, I would see his Porsche. I would
go wow and be like dreaming of one day
sitting in my own. Growing up, I would go to
Brands Hatch and watch the Porsche Carrera
Cup finals. The adrenalin I would get from
motorsports and seeing the Porsches was the
most fun part of my week. It’s important for
me to align with partners and brands that I feel
passionate about and that I identify with. This
partnership with Porsche is incredible and I’m
excited to see what sort of exciting things we
can do going forward,” Emma explains.
The death of fashion designer Virgil Abloh last
year prompted Mercedes-Benz to introduce
the Project Maybach as a tribute. Virgil worked
with Mercedes’ chief design officer, Gorden
Wagener to create the concept for the offroad
luxury coupe. Now, Mercedes has unveiled
the 2023 Mercedes-Maybach S680 by Virgil
Abloh, the design of which was completed
before Virgil’s death and which the company is
calling the “last chapter” of Virgil and Gorden’s

Then there is the partnership between
BMW and Kith, a lifestyle brand founded by
Ronnie Fieg. They collaborated to produce
the M4 Comp x Kith, a limited edition
2022 M4 Competition. The Kith touch can
be found throughout the vehicle, which
was influenced by Ronnie’s own E30-
generation BMW M3 and an M4 design
study. Most notable is that the BMW logo
has been tweaked for this project, which
BMW claims is the first time it has done,
to integrate the Kith emblem with the
classic BMW rounded badge.Impressed
by the striking red and black contrasts
he saw on a Paris catwalk, Lamborghini’s
Head of Design, Mitja Borkert requested
their creator, Yohji Yamamoto to help him
develop a designer edition Lamborghini.
The result is the Aventador S adorned with
the same vibrant hues and patterns as
the mod coat, bomber jacket and hoodie
featured in Yohji’s capsule collection. “With
their inimitable design, Lamborghini super
sports cars are instantly recognisable. I am
therefore delighted to see the realisation
of this collaboration, highlighting the
uniqueness, the timelessness, and the
abundant passion, which are characteristic
of both our brands,” notes Yohji.
For something that’s traffic-stopping,
check out Fiat’s collaboration with Bvlgari
for a limited-edition version of its electric
500 supermini. The model is known as the
B.500 by Bvlgari - Mai Troppo, Italian for
“never too much”, which Bvlgari wants
to emphasise despite its bejewelled
appearance. Its metallic paint in Imperial
Saffron - a shade iconic to Bvlgari - is
obtained through the integration of a
special gold dust. The dashboard is made
of multicoloured silk hand-painted with
the Maison’s trademark motif, while the
steering wheel’s emblem is studded with
a trio of gemstones comprising amethyst,
citrine and topaz, which can be detached
and used as a brooch!

Great times were had all around as Tropicana hosted
a successful 3km Beach Fun Run at Tropicana Cenang,
Langkawi, continuing the momentum of its popular
Tropicana go-go-FIT campaign. The event saw
more than 200 enthusiastic local and international
participants descend on the signature development’s
vibrant beachfront for a day of fun in the sun, including
exciting activities such as a mini kite-flying and chime
workshop along with health and diet checks for the
community.

This year, Tropicana initiated its first pet support programme,
lending pet shelters a helping hand. Employees volunteered at
My Pets Haven in Setia Alam and assisted with walking the dogs,
preparing meals for the animals and cleaning the cages of our
furry friends.
The first Sports Paragon Run 2022 at
Tropicana Gardens Mall and Tropicana gogo-FIT
Park Adventure Race at Tropicana
Metropark drew hundreds of participants.
Both weekend events showcased the mall’s
accessibility and connectivity as well as the
generous open spaces and facilities of the
Urban Park in Tropicana Metropark.

resort’s soothing greens, the race on the golf course
is well complimented by the cool evening breeze
and continues to be a signature event. It is open for
Malaysian citizens aged 13 years old and above, offering
cash prizes of up to RM500 for winners.
Tropicana Foundation continued with its bi-annual blood donation
drive in support of the National Blood Bank. Organised at the
Tropicana Experiential Hall in Tropicana Gardens Office Tower, the
blood donation drive was open to all staff members of Tropicana and
the response was encouraging, as always.
