　　嘉嘉也是第一次从Watsons Online store购物，interface大致上和其他网上商城一样，很简单，就把你想购买的商品加入购物车，最后结帐即可。

　　This is the first time i shop online from Watsons Online store. The interface is simple and user friendly.

　　有一点提醒大家就是，Watsons并不会把产品直接寄到你家，而是把产品寄到Watsons门市，必须自己去取货喔。不过只要不是很偏僻的地方，总会有一家Watsons在附近吧，所以还算蛮方便的。

　　One thing you need to consider is that they do not deliver your order to your doorstep. All products are delivered to Watsons store. So, just choose a store you prefer.

　　只要选择州属和区域，就可以从Google Map中选择你想要的门市。

　　The interface is easy, just select your state and area, you will see all Watsons stores on the Google Map.

　　送货时间需要2－5个工作日。嘉嘉是周六下订单，刚巧周一是假日，周三下午已经收到email 和sms，说产品已经到达门市了。产品会保留3天，嘉嘉觉得这期限也太短了吧！不过相信可以联络门市，延长保留的时间应该不是太大的问题。

　　Delivery takes 2-5 working days. I place the order on Saturday, Monday is public holiday. I received email and sms notifications that my order had arrived at Watsons store on Wednesday evening. You are given 3 days to collect your order.

　　嘉嘉买了什么呢？刚巧洗发水（375ml）和护发素（350ml）有促销，RM10.43一罐。
所以买了3罐洗发水和2罐护发素，总共花了RM53.15。

　　这个Panasonic吹风机是EH-ND11，白色（没得选择喔），价值大概RM40。除了吹风机，还送Nivea Body Lotion In-shower Whitening Skin Conditioner（100ml，RM5.90）。

　　I bough 3 shampoo (375ml) and 2 conditioner (350ml), RM10.43 each. The Panasonic Hair Dryer model is EH-ND11, white in color and worth RM40. There is also another free gift, Nivea Body Lotion In-shower Whitening Skin Conditioner (100ml, worth RM5.90).

　　花了RM53.15大元，却拿了价值RM45.90的赠品，是不是很好康呢？有兴趣的童鞋们赶快下手喔，优惠至 27 October 2014。

薏仁腐竹糖水

　　薏仁是很好的食物，含有丰富的蛋白质，矿物质，维生素等。除了有利水，消水肿，降血糖，抗肿瘤等功效，薏仁还可以促进新陈代谢，美白肌肤，想要美白的童鞋们可以多吃薏仁喔。

　　这款薏仁腐竹糖水的材料和做法都很简单。

材料：小薏仁 50g，大薏仁 50g，鲜腐竹 1包，香兰叶，糖／冰糖酌量，水 2000ml

步骤：　　

1）小薏仁，大薏仁和香兰叶洗干净，放进锅里，大火烧开转小火，煮 45 分钟。
2）加入腐竹，再煮滚，最后加糖即可。（如果用鲜腐竹，较容易煮烂，如果用干腐竹，就需要较长的时间）

小贴士：
　　有些腐竹是煮不烂的，所以买的时候，问问老板哪些是用来煮糖水的。

　　嘉嘉用的这个鲜腐竹，或称“豆包”是在巴刹，卖豆制品的摊位买的。如果住槟城的朋友，可以在亚依淡（Ayer Itam）巴刹买到。

　　因为容易煮烂，所以记得不要大力搅拌。

SHISEIDO ULTIMUNE Power Infusing Concentrate - The Science behind It

　　之前出席了资生堂ULTIMUNE Workshop，对这瓶ULTIMUNE Power Infusing Concentrate很是兴趣。上网查了一些讯息，就和大家分享。

　　肌肤的免疫能力会随着年龄增长，环境污染以及情绪压力而下降。当肌肤的免疫功能下降，随之而来的就是各种肌肤问题，老化，粗糙，斑点，暗沉，甚至痘痘，过敏等等等。

　　要有年轻健康的肌肤，当然要有强大的免疫系统。资生堂这瓶ULTIMUNE，针对提高肌肤免疫力，给予肌肤力量，对抗造成肌肤伤害的因素。

郎格罕细胞 Langerhans Cells

　　说到肌肤免疫系统，就得了解Langerhans 细胞。

　　资生堂从1991年起，与哈佛皮肤研究中心（Harvard Cutaneous Biology Research Center，CBRC）合作，对肌肤免疫能力进行研究工作。经过20年针对免疫力的研究，发现Langerhans 细胞在免疫系统扮演重要的角色。Langerhans细胞存在肌肤的表皮层，占表皮层细胞约2-5%，Langerhans 细胞是免疫系统里的总指挥，其两大功能包括：

指挥功能

　　当探测到外来侵害，如细菌或有害物质，Langerhans 细胞会发出警报，启动免疫功能。

自卫功能

　　当肌肤受到外界环境影响，会产生刺激响应因子，导致肌肤问题。覆盖Langerhans 细胞的CD39酵素会自我保护，攻击刺激响应因子。

　　The skin's immune system is complex, involving various cells playing different vital roles. Among them all, the Langerhans cell is particularly indispensable. The Langerhans cells exist in the upper layer of the skin epidermis, accounting for 2 to 5% of the total epidermal cells. Langerhans cells are the commander-in-chief of the skin's immune system. They have two main functions:

Command function

　　When detect foreign objects, such as germs or harmful substances, intruding the skin, the cells order the immune system to attack the foreign objects.

Self-defense function

　　When skin is stimulated by external factors, stimulation response factors appear in the skin to cause skin problems. When stimulation response factors are detected, Langerhans cell acts on them to defend itself, using the calming enzyme (CD39) which coats the Langerhans cell.

免疫能力与老化 Self-defense function and aging 

　　随着年龄增长，肌肤的免疫能力会急剧下降。研究结果显示，覆盖Langerhans 细胞的CD39酵素也随着年龄增长而减少。图表显示，26－30岁与49－58岁肌肤里 CD39 酵素的数量，有明显的下降。

　　Shiseido studied the changes in the self-defense function due to aging. The results obtained show that the amount of the calming enzyme on the surface of Langerhans cells is significantly decreased in aged skin  (49-58 years) compared with young skin (26-30 years).

ULTIMUNE 复方 ULTIMUNE Complex

　　于2014年，Shiseido经过20年的研究，研制了一瓶针对激活Langerhans 细胞的护肤品－－激活肌肤免疫力精华。当中的ULTIMUNE Complex激活免疫力复合物，能直接激活Langerhans 细胞机能，达到修护功效。

　　In 2014, Shiseido launches a new product, ULTIMUNE Power Infusing Concentrate that contains ULTIMUNE Complex. Their innovative ULTIMUNE Complex boosts the power of Langerhans cells to enhance skin's immunity.

试验结果 Proven Results

　　95％女性表示肌肤即时变得嫩滑细致。
　　1周后，86％女性表示肌肤变得更有光泽。
　　4周后，肌肤变得更细致有弹性，皱纹明显减淡。




多重防御力: 加倍强健肌肤
　　当肌肤免疫力处于理想水平，肌肤便能发挥4种天然防御力︰抵抗、保护、再生、强化。ULTIMUNE 重新启动此多重防御力，抵抗对肌肤未来造成的伤害，令肌肤状态升华。

Multi-Defensive Power: Strong, healthier-looking skin.

　　When your skin immunity is in its optimal condition, the skin demonstrates the four natural defensive powers at best—to resist, protect, regenerate and strengthen. ULTIMUNE reignites this multi-defensive power to resist future damage and bring out your skin’s ultimate beauty.

肌肤从此持续健康美丽

　　临床测试证实ULTIMUNE 具有超卓护肤功效，使用ULTIMUNE后，多重防御力上升，测试者年纪逾大，提升效果逾见显著。

Skin that remains strong and beautiful over time.

　　ULTIMUNE’s remarkable effects have been proven by clinical tests. Compared against skin without ULTIMUNE, skin with ULTIMUNE shows an increase in Multi-Defensive Power — the older the user, the higher skin’s multi-defensive power becomes with the use of ULTIMUNE. 

*Tested on 22 participants.

SHISEIDO ULTIMUNE Power Infusing Concentrate - Workshop

　　今天参加了资生堂的 ULTIMUNE Workshop，主要是推荐这瓶 ULTIMUNE Power Infusing Concentrate 激活肌肤免疫力精华。

　　ULTIMUNE Power Infusing Concentrate 是资生堂通过超过20年针对免疫力的研究成果。研究发现，Langerhans 细胞主宰着肌肤免疫力。随着年龄增长以及环境伤害，Langerhans 细胞功能也逐渐下降。ULTIMUNE 能激活Langerhans 细胞机能，提高肌肤免疫力。

　　ULTIMUNE Power Infusing Concentrate is the outcome of SHISEIDO after 20 years of immunity research. Research found that Langerhans cells (LC) are responsible for skin immunity. However, LC functions decrease with aging. ULTIMUNE enhances LC functions so that our skin would be more immune against aging.

　　台湾过来的老师（忘了什么名字，只记得老师姓黄）

　　今天的主角，ULTIMUNE Power Infusing Concentrate。

 　　质地类似精华液，比化妆水浓稠。不过很好吸收。

　　老师找了位同学上台示范。

　　台下的同学不用担心，柜姐会帮忙示范和讲解。

Benefits

　　细致光泽，丰盈饱满的肌肤

　　健康，且能抵御肌肤问题滋生

　　不受时间影响，永恒保持美丽肌肤

　　Ultimately smooth and supple skin

　　Strong, trouble-resistant skin

　　Skin that remains beautiful over time

To Use

　　－　每天早晚于清洁及柔肤之后使用。
　　－　当配合其他精华液使用时，先涂上 ULTIMUNE Power Infusing Concentrate，帮助加倍提升随后使用的护肤品功效。

　　－　Apply morning and evening after cleansing and balancing skin.
　　－ When used with other serums, apply ULTIMUNE Power Infusing Concentrate first, to enhance the benefits of following treatments.

关于UTM Workshop的感想

　　这个workshop，其实比较像产品体验，大家可以试试产品的质地和体验即时的效果。嘉嘉有些失望的地方是，老师并没有讲解更多 ULTIMUNE Power Infusing Concentrate的讯息。换句话说，嘉嘉并没有看的这小红瓶有多“犀利”的地方，让嘉嘉非买不可。

　　其实，产品体验平日在柜台都可以试试，嘉嘉觉得既然请了老师从台湾来，为何不讲解一些平日在柜台上得不到的讯息，或最新的使用方式，按摩手法等，会让大家获益更多。

　　嘉嘉了解了一些关于这瓶 ULTIMUNE Power Infusing 的科技，有兴趣的朋友可以看看下一篇文喔 SHISEIDO ULTIMUNE Power Infusing Concentrate - The Technology

柠檬叶炒米粉 Kaffir Lime Leaves Fried Rice Vermicelli / Bee Hoon

　　这个炒米粉加了柠檬叶，有一种独特的香味，酸酸辣辣的，很是开胃。

柠檬叶（kaffir lime leaves）

材料 Ingredients：

米粉（rice vermicelli） ...... 250g（wash in running water until softened, drain in sieve）

（A）
葱头仔（shallots） ...... 150g
马来煎（balacan） ...... 1块（15g）
姜（ginger）...... 1块
香茅（lemongrass） ...... 1~2支

将材料切小块，加入适量的水，用搅拌机打成泥。
Cut all ingredients into small pieces, put into a food processor, add water and blend into paste.


（B）
自制辣椒酱（chili paste) ...... 4~5 tbs
黄姜（fresh turmeric, sliced）...... 1小块切片
柠檬叶（kaffir lime leaves） ...... 5~6片
小辣椒（chili padi ） ...... 2～3 条

配料 Ingredients：
包菜（cabbage, shredded）...... 切丝
红萝卜（carrot, shredded）...... 切丝

调味料 Seasoning：

糖（sugar）...... 2 tbs
盐（salt）...... 2 tsp


做法 Methods：
1）热锅加油，放入包菜丝和红萝卜丝，翻炒约1~2分钟，起锅，放一旁待用。

　　Heat a wok and add 2 tablespoon of cooking oil. 

　　Add shredded cabbage and shredded carrot, stir-fry for 1~2 minute until vegetables are tender crisp.

　　Remove and set aside

2）加适量油，爆香黄姜和柠檬叶。加（A）酱料，翻炒。
　　Add 5 tablespoon of cooking oil.
　　Add turmeric and kaffir lime leaves. Stir-fry till fragrant.
　　Add shallot paste (A).
　　Stir-fry for another 2~3 minutes.


3）加辣椒酱，炒至到酱料发出香味和渗出辣椒油（Tumis）
　　Add in chili paste, stir-fry until the paste begins to release its fragrant aromas and the oil starts to oozes out. 

4）加入水，加入调味料
　　Add water. Season with sugar and salt to taste.

5）加入米粉，炒至均匀。
　　Add rice vermicelli and stir well. 

6）加入包菜丝和红萝卜丝，拌匀。
　　Add shredded cabbage and shredded carrot, mix well. 

7）起锅。
　　Dish up and garnish with shredded kaffir lime leaves.

小贴士 Tips：

1）嘉嘉用的是泰国米粉，很容易软，所以不用浸泡，只要冲洗干净，沥干即可。

2）虽然说是炒米粉，可是米粉很容易煮烂，不建议用力翻炒。加入米粉后，用筷子或叉翻弄，让米粉均匀的吸收酱汁就可以。这样煮出来的米粉才不会糊掉。

3）香茅和姜比较难打烂，要视使用的搅拌机。可以先用干磨的方式磨细，再和其他材料一起搅拌。

4）嘉嘉用的自制辣椒酱，已经加了小辣椒，所以就没再加。如果喜欢吃辣，小辣椒切开，和黄姜，柠檬叶一起爆香。

5）翻炒酱料时，油要稍微多一点，否则容易烧焦和粘锅。也不用一次过放太多油，只要翻炒时发现稍微粘锅，再加适量的油。
