Jordan Malaysia | Creative Finding Jordan Picasso 2019 Kid Winners!

Monday, July 15, 2019

The Finding Jordan Picasso annual art contest by Jordan Oral Care Malaysia has ended on a high, with thirty talented children from all over Malaysia winning attractive prizes worth RM 30,000.

The two categories included Category A of children between the ages of six and nine, and Category B of children between the ages of ten and twelve.

Sandee Chai, Regional Marketing Manager for Jordan Asia Pacific said, “The Finding Jordan Picasso contest has been running for three years in row. With this year’s theme being ‘My Favourite Food,’ we endeavour to remind children to brush their teeth thirty minutes after each meal.”

In order to participate in the contest, children between the ages of six to twelve were tasked to create art pieces depicting their favourite meals using non-digital mediums, with some going as creative as using recycled materials to build a delicious looking art piece.

Sandee said, “A part of Jordan’s philosophy is sustainable living as we are 100 per cent Eco at Heart. Using recycled materials in the children’s art pieces definitely deserves a thumbs up from us!”

Deputy Head of Mission at the Royal Norwegian Embassy, Erlend Sannes Hadland, who was also present at the event said, “Encouraging and nurturing creativity is important in a child’s development. Art is a form of self-expression, and a form of communication.”

He continued, “I am happy that Jordan has been encouraging creativity in children through their Finding Jordan Picasso contest. This year’s food-related theme which comes with a reminder to brush your teeth thirty minutes after a meal further enforces Jordan’s commitment to both dental hygiene and fostering the love of art in children.”

8-year old Ivy Sam was happy to have won the Grand Prize in Category A. Her mother, Win Chong said, “My children have joined in many competitions and this is the first time any one of them have won. We, as a family, as truly excited and very happy for Ivy. In fact, all my children are even more excited to join in more competitions now and I will always provide them with my support.” Ivy’s art piece was a bowl of spaghetti.

12-year old Chong Poh Yi, the grand prize winner in Category B said, “I am very happy and excited for my prizes and this gives me encouragement to join in more competitions!” Her art piece was a sushi set.

The day did not only put smiles on the faces of the winners of the Finding Jordan Picasso contest, but also on the faces of 15 underprivileged children from Pusat Penjagaan Kanak-Kanak Cacat Taman Megah.

#DriveAgainstDiabetes With Diabetes Malaysia and Ascensia Diabetes Care!

Tuesday, July 2, 2019

Malaysia has the highest rate of diabetes in Asia, and more effort is required to both understand the root cause of this problem and engage high-risk individuals at the grassroots level to improve the prevention, diagnosis and management of this disease.

In support of the Ministry of Health’s on-going war against diabetes, Ascensia Diabetes Care, the world’s leading provider of solutions for diabetes care, has been spearheading a unique campaign aimed at reaching out to communities within the Klang Valley to promote the pro-active prevention and management of diabetes. At the same time, the campaign also aims to gather better insights into why Malaysians have an apathetic attitude when it comes to diabetes.

The six-month campaign called ‘#DriveAgainstDiabetes’ was conducted in collaboration with Diabetes Malaysia. At the heart of the campaign is a full-size 44-seater passenger bus unit that will travel to various high-traffic locations throughout the Klang Valley.

The bus carries a team of trained individuals from both Diabetes Malaysia and Ascensia, who will provide free blood sugar check-up and engage members of the public with a host of interactive activities such as games and contests centered around diabetes with attractive giveaways.

The campaign is designed to educate people on diabetes symptoms, prevention and management. As an important part of the campaign, participants are also being asked to fill out a survey, aimed at acquiring better insights into urbanites' mindset in relation to diabetes.

Maximilian Lim, Business Manager of Ascensia Diabetes Care Malaysia, said “#DriveAgainstDiabetes" is Ascensia Diabetes Care Malaysia’s initiative in Malaysia to support the on-going War on Diabetes.”

“We understand that Malaysians are both well-educated and well-aware of the disease but are not taking proactive efforts to prevent the disease or get diagnosed. We want to understand why, so that we can provide ways to overcome these barriers to better prevention.”

“At the same time, as a world-renowned diabetes care solutions provider, we also want to drive home the message that Accuracy, Balance, and Commitment are the key elements to preventing or managing this condition effectively in at-risk Malaysians and those who have diabetes," he added.

‘#DriveAgainstDiabetes’ campaign started in January 2019 and will stop at 20 locations in total. To date, the campaign has successfully engaged more than 11,000 people from selected venues in Kajang, Kepong, Bangi, Semenyih, Bangsar, Petaling Jaya Town, Kuala Lumpur City Center, Puchong, Klang, Selayang, Shah Alam, and Ampang.

Prof Datuk Dr. Ikram Shah Ismail, President of Diabetes Malaysia, added, “It is essential that all Malaysians, including those living with diabetes, learn how to detect the early signs of this condition and manage their lifestyle effectively.”

“Diabetes Malaysia will continue to support initiatives like ‘#DriveAgainstDiabetes’, which we are confident will drive more Malaysians to take charge of their own lives and encourage their loved ones to do the same, especially during this festive period," he concluded.

‘#DriveAgainstDiabetes’ campaign also conduct a Malaysian Health Status Survey for the community to participate. Research survey link : https://research2.ipsosinteractive.com/mriweb/mriweb.dll?i.project=S19008930

Active Lifestyle : Be Kids, Be Active!

Monday, July 1, 2019

Active lifestyle is important to keep us stay healthy body and alert mindset. Being active living is a way of life that integrates physical activity into our everyday routines such as walking, running, zumba, yoga and so on.

Combination of physical activity and recreation activities are able to encourage a healthier lifestyle. It goes to MR and MH too, mouse mommy has 2 active boys that always find something to do. In this era, digital gadget is a norm. There is always an argument whether we should allow our kids to play gadget?

Computing is unable to avoid in our society now. Kids have to expose, explore and know how to function it. At the same time, physical fitness is so important to keep them alert and overall wellness too!

Do you allow your children to play physically? Yes, mouse mommy does allow MR and MH to join indoor and outdoor play. And mouse mommy will join the fun physical activities together too.

As for outdoor activities, we love to join family fun run together. That is one of the exciting physical activities that we love - run, sweat, detox, chat, bonding, explore, experience and relaxation. This is the time that we can run together.

Sometimes, MR will complaint of no energy in the middle of the run. Then, mouse mommy and MH will encourage and ganbatte for bro MR to keep going. No one will left behind but moving forward together.

Same goes to any obstacles that we might be facing, as long as we are keep going and solve it, there will be a solution / result at the end of it. Victory is awaits at the ending point always.

Sometimes, mouse mommy is too tired in the middle of the run. MR is so sweet to pluck flowers by the roadside and gifted to mouse mommy with a big hug and energy kiss on my cheek. OK let’s go! Mouse mommy can continue join the family fun run!

The kids also get to learn and know the environment surrounded us.

Through our running experience, we got the opportunity to explore different place, plants, animals and habitat at hills, animal farm, vege farm, KL city, mangrove and river. That is our real life experience!

As for indoor activities, we love to join KidZania indoor activities. Spend a day in KidZania can really make us sleep well once reached home.

There are many activities that required the kids to “hands-on” and “Do-It-Yourself (DIY)” by themselves, such as KidZania Cash and Valuables Transport as banking security service that required MR to courier the delivery items to the respective departments or stores.

Mouse mommy always believes that our children can perform if we give them a task and opportunity. Let the kids take up the responsibility to learn how, what to do and get the job done. If they did the job well, give them appraise. If not, no worries, we can do post-mortem together to see anything goes wrong. Let’s discuss and get a solution!

There are many role-play and job responsibilities at KidZania Kuala Lumpur to let our kids to explore, experiment and experience.

There will be never the same experience every time that we visited to KidZania!

Besides that, KidZania always conduct interesting sport activities for the kids such as blind football, archery, table tennis and so on. Be Active, Be Healthy, Be Kids!
