Review: Phillips Perfect Care Elite Plus Steam Iron

 


Kali ni sis tulis review iron steamer Phillips yang menjadi kegilaan dan idaman wanita, tak kira surirumah ataupun yang berkerjaya.

Sis beli iron ni Julai 2019 kat Lazada, harga termasuk delivery RM1333 masa promotion. Dapat sekali percuma iron board besar. Kalau tengok kat shopping mall, kadang-kadang ada yang jual  lebih kurang RM1500 sekali iron board. Kat Lazada mall mungkin masih boleh dapat harga bawah RM1500 waktu sale. 

Masa nak beli steamer iron dulu, memang survey2 jugak model dan brand apa yang nak beli. Antara spesifikasi yang saya tengok adalah kapasiti steam boost, detachable water tank, easy descaling, dan energy saving. 

Kalau tengok memang ada steamer iron yang lebih murah, tapi ada kekurangan pada bekas air. Untuk model macam ni biasanya tank air lebih kecil dan tak boleh dicabut. Jadi lebih kerap kena isi air kalau guna untuk gosok baju banyak-banyak sekaligus. 

Untuk model yang ada detachable water tank, lebih ringkas sebab tank tu boleh dicabut dan dibawa ke sinki untuk isi semula air. Tambahan pula, bekas air ni boleh isi 1.8L air dan sangat mencukupi untuk isi air sekali atau 2 kali sahaja. Kalau untuk penggunaan dua jam isi penuh mula pun dah mencukupi, tak perlu top up air.

Dulu sebelum beli steamer iron ni, sis biasanya gosok kemeja/seluar kerja suami untuk seminggu dan kadang-kadang je gosok tudung dan baju kerja sendiri. Sebab untuk gosok pakaian suami pun dah makan masa hampir 2 jam, jadi dah penat nak gosok tudung sendiri pulak. Sis memang sejak zaman sekolah gosok baju seminggu sekali aje...hehehe... Kalau ada oncall weekend, sis gosok siap-siap untuk seminggu setengah. Kalau tak cukup kadang-kadang cik abang gosok sendiri.

Tapi, sejak guna iron yang ni, semua tu dah jadi lebih kurang sejam je. Jadi dengan lebihan masa yang ada, sis dapatlah gosok baju dan tudung sendiri jugak. Wow! Memang banyak menjimatkan masa dan tenaga kerja. Dari segi penggunaan elektrik, tak banyak beza pun. Sis masih gosok baju 2 jam seminggu, dan bil elektrik nampak lebih kurang sama je. Lagipun iron ni ada mode Energy saving, jadi kalau nak jimat lagi boleh guna mode jimat tenaga ni.

Iron ni tak perlu adjust suhu sebab ada sensor automatik yang kawal suhu untuk kita. Jadi memang tak risau pakaian terbakar.

Penjagaan pun tak leceh, bila dah masa untuk descaling lampu peringatan akan menyala, dan cuma perlu buka skru untuk keluarkan kotoran air macam dalam gambar ni. Tapi sis cadangkan bawak bekas besar sikit, jangan guna cawan kecik tu sebab biasanya tak cukup. 


Sekian sahaja, harap dapat membantu cik puan sekalian survey!

My all time favourite playlist

These songs have been in my playlist for years now. It somehow helped me go through those bad moments during my housemanship day. I love the acoustics and electric guitar. There are special emotions emitted from the songs that soothes me. So far, I haven't met anyone with the same music taste. I hope I could find one!


1. Chau chau - Delispice

I knew this song from Running Man. I name it The 4 Sentenced Song. When I am sad, I want to be heard. Listening to this, I felt like I am being heard, hence I love this song. I wrote about this song in 2013.  Read here


2. Aqua timez - Sen no yoru wo koete

This song is used for the ending song of Bleach movie: Memories of Nobody. I heard it for the first time when I watched the movie, and I totally fell in love with it. I love the emotions of the song, even though I don't understand the lyrics. There is desperation and yearning, yet hopeful at the same time. Somehow, it resonates with my emotions of desperately wanting to be hopeful, to see the bright side of everything. And not to be forgotten, I love the strings! Since then, it has become one of my favourite song.




3. Jay Chou - Fearless

I love the fusion between traditional and modern instruments! I thought this was sung by two people, but apparently I was wrong! I only knew when I watched the live performance video. The female-like voice is actually a falsetto! This song is totally an ear candy that makes me feel invincible.




4. BTS - Boy in Luv (Sangnamja i.e tough guy)

The korean meaning of the song is tough guy. I love the electric guitar! Their hoarse voice accompanying the electric guitar is the best! The choreography makes the song perfect. How I wish I can dance like them! Listening to this song, I feel like I'm unleashing all of my suppressed anger! Bonus point for Jimin's high note! It feels like screaming out of my lungs. I would usually feel much better after listening to this.





These are precious songs that accompanied me through my somewhat lonely journey. I have the extended list, which is an unexhaustive list. I might share them later on! Not sure if anyone is interested though, But oh well, I continued blogging to brush off my rusty writing. So I'll write about whatever I have interest in! Till next time, bye!

Throwback: BTS encounter, No More Dream

I remember that time when BTS debuted, I was preparing for my final professional exam which was about a month away. The exam determines whether I graduate or my study time will be extended. They debuted with the song No More Dream, that totally grabbed my attention as they are addressing the thought that I have in my mind. At that time, not many songs have meaningful lyrics, be it Malay song, English song or kpop song. And for me, a good song should have good lyrics. So I totally appreciate this song with meaningful lyrics.

Back to their debut song, it's a song that talks about teenagers having unspecified dreams like wanting a big house, big car and big rings, living in luxury. But truthfully, they don't have a real pathway towards those dreams. They go to school, aiming to be admitted to prestigious university because that is what everyone has been doing. Plus, becoming a government official is the public definition of being successful. The lyrics asked, What is your dream? A question that I no longer have the answer. I mean, I didn't have any other aim other than graduating medical school ever since I started my first year. I used to have a few ambitions that wasn't really in the mainstream when I was younger though, and attending medical school wasn't even in the list. Hence, I have some regret about my inability to walk towards those dream. That question asking 'what is your dream' totally picked on my sore spot. But since I was already almost at the end of the road, there's nothing much to think about, but to pass the exam and graduate.

At that time, I was stressed out about passing the exam as I don't think I have the strength and motivation to go on if I failed the exam. Many thoughts came to my mind, such as why am I in this field, why don't I have any other talent, why am I unable to walk towards my ambition, what can I do if I ever flunked this exam, etc. Well, those thoughts have been there along the 6 years journey and it was augmented by the tension of passing the final exam to graduate. To be honest, I managed to stay for the whole 6 years thanks to the support of my batchmates and some good friends. Otherwise, I might have deferred. 

My first impression

I wasn't a big fan of hip hop song, but thanks to the meaningful lyrics and catchy song, I love it.  The song is asking the teenagers to be bold and to have dream, instead of going with the flow of the mass opinion, which I totally agree to. The world have changed, and we need enthusiastic people in their own fields, instead of being there because they had to. I personally think that people who love their job are bound to have more achievement, which is good for the improvement in the community. If we think about how our ancestors could have breakthrough achievements despite their limitations, I believe it is due to their enthusiasm and passion that they are able to do so.

Hence I kept BTS under my radar, waiting to see what other kind of song would they come out with. My first impression was J-hope is so handsome, he must be the visual of the group. Chibi-like Jimin is so cute, he seems like BTS mascot, as he is always in the center and he is the only one wearing sleeveless shirt. As for RM, I felt like he could be better styled. But still, he wasn't as bad as UKISS' debut style! Suga's cute look doesn't fit his fire-spitting rap. I had thought that he must have been talked into it by the company. Hahah but apparently not! Jin looks like a well-mannered kid trying to rebel! V totally looks like a rebel and Jungkook was so young!


No More Dream (translated lyrics from Genius English translations)




[Pre-hook: RM]
Hey, what's your dream?
Hey, what’s your dream?
Hey, what's your dream?
Hey, is that your dream?

[Verse 1: SUGA, RM, Jungkook]
I wanna big house, big cars & big rings
But in reality, I don't have any big dreams
Haha I live an easy life
Even if I don’t dream, no one says anything to me
Everyone is thinking the same as me
When we were still young
 I said I'll go to some university
Okay, mum, I'm going to the library

[Pre-Chorus: V, j-hope]
What is the you that you dreamed of?
Who do you see in your mirror, I gotta say
Go your own way
Even if you live a day
Do something
Put weakness away


[Verse 2: Jung Kook]
Why don't you say anything? You don't want to study
You're too afraid to quit the school, right? See, you're getting ready for school
Grow up, don't just talk, You have a glass mentality, boy
(Stop!) Ask yourself, when did you try hard

[Pre-hook: RM]
Hey, what’s your dream?
Hey, what’s your dream?
Hey, what's your dream?
Hey, is that your dream?

[Chorus: Jung Kook, Jimin]
It’s a lie, you such a liar
See me, see me ya, you're hypocrite
Why are you telling me to go another way? Do well yourself!
Please don't force me
(La la la la la)
What's you dream? What’s your dream?
(La la la la la)
Is that your dream? Is that your dream?

[Verse 3: SUGA]
Boring same day, every day repeats
Adults and parents tell us the same dream
Future job number one, public officials?
It's not a forced dream, a relief pitcher

[Verse 4: j-hope]
Throw a fastball to the self-study time that is a waste of time
Disobey the hell-like society pardon the dream
Ask yourself 'bout the profile of your dream
Become the subject of your own life, away from suppression

[Pre-Chorus: Jin, Jimin]
What is the you that you dreamed of?
Who do you see in your mirror, I gotta say
Go your own way
Even if you live a day
Do something
Put weakness away


[Pre-hook: RM]
Hey, what's your dream?
Hey, what's your dream?
Hey, what's your dream?
Hey, is that your dream?

[Chorus: Jung Kook, Jimin]
It's a lie, you such a liar
See me, see me ya, you're hypocrite
Why are you telling me to go another way? Do well yourself!
Please don't force me
(La la la la la)
What's you dream? What's your dream?
(La la la la la)
Is that your dream? Is that your dream?

[Bridge: RM, SUGAJung Kook]
Don't know how to live
Don't know how to fly
Don't know how to decide
Don't know how to dream now
Open, open, open your eyes again
Dance , dance, dance again
Dream, dream, dream again
Don't hesitate, don't hesitate, wassup!

[Chorus: Jung Kook, RM]
It's a lie, you such a liar
See me, see me ya, you're hypocrite
Why are you telling me to go another way? Do well yourself!
Don't push others!
(La la la la la)
What's you dream? What's your dream?
(La la la la la)
Is that your dream? Is that your dream?

[Outro: RM]
To all the youngsters without dreams

Review vacuum Dyson V10 Absolute +


Assalamualaikum

First time buat review....hehehe
Vakum Dyson V10 absolute+ ni beli bulan 9 tahun lepas. Rasanya okay nak buat review sebab guna nak dekat setahun dah. Saya kalau nak beli barang masa survey-survey tu memang akan baca jugak blog orang lain dan review-survey yang ada online. So harap-harap review ni membantu puan-puan yang sedang survey-survey barang ni 😁



Dulu beli kat lazada dari Dyson mall. Masa tu ada sale, so dapat la dalam RM 28++ termasuk delivery. Kalau guna kad kredit maybank ada plan installment. Pakej ni termasuk beg, docking station, 2 kepala, dan 4 tools. Untuk absolute+, ada kepala special untuk lantai simen dan karpet. Agak berat jugak la kalau pegang satu tangan dan vakum untuk masa yang lama. Berat dia lebih kurang 2.5kg. Rasanya kalau bateri penuh, boleh vakum satu rumah atau lebih kurang sejam lebih sekali guna. Suction power ada 3. Untuk lantai biasa, boleh guna minimum suction power. Biasanya akan guna max suction power untuk karpet dan sofa.

Mounting unit tu termasuk sekali, dan bersambung dengan charger. instruction untuk pasang docking station tu ada, dan agak senang jugak la untuk pasang. Tapi ni bukan saya yang pasang la..heheh cik abang yang drill dan pasang.

Pada pendapat saya, vakum ni memang sangat membantu. Tambahan pula, saya memang alergi habuk. Jadi untuk bersihkan lantai sangat mudah. Berbanding dengan vakum yang berwayar, nak simpan dan guna memang sangat mudah. Dulu-dulu saya rasa sapu guna penyapu lagi cepat dan mudah berbanding vakum sebab vakum nak kena ambik dari tempat simpan, pastu bila dah guna nak kena simpan pulak. Tapi bila guna Dyson wyreless, senang je nak ambik dan simpan semula. Saya suka sangat! Nak bersihkan pun agak senang. Takde habuk-habuk berterbangan kalau aim betul-betul masa nak kosongkan bin. 

Kawan saya ada guna version yang lebih lama dan masih berpuas hati dengan performance vakum ni. Keluarga kawan saya ni memang sentiasa guna vakum sebab semua orang dalam rumah tu alergi habuk, jadi pada saya review diorang ni memang ada kredibiliti. Satu lagi, saya rasa yang Fluff version pun sebenarnya dah cukup kalau rumah tak pakai karpet. Saya tengok Fluff V7, V8 ada yang boleh dapat dengan harga tak sampai 2k. Saya cadangkan beli di Dyson shop di Lazada sebab memang terjamin barang original, dan saya perhati harga sale memang lebih best berbanding beli di kedai. Kalau banding kan dengan kedai online yang lain, lebih kurang je harga sale tapi kedai Dyson biasanya ada baucer dan penghantaran percuma.

Saya harap review ni dapat membantu sedikit sebanyak! Nanti saya up review steamer iron pulak ye
