My MLGPON partner Anis asked a question about the THERMOMIX over her FB page as she was genuinely curious to know why the yays or nays of this "German All-in-One" Smart Kitchen. It made me rethink my story and how I got onboard first as a user ...and months later...as a Sales Advisor.
I now lead a growing team of 18 Sales Advisor. We started #DVaromas 3 periods ago (give or take, 3 months ago). It's been a fun journey so far, especially since it gives me creative sanity that helps with my "main" job as a content creator and presenter host.
It's a long read, but I want to share it here too.
Pons Story with Moe
So here is MY story.
I'm not a big fan of cooking - simply because my ego was bruised many a times when my attempts to cook curry and sambals were received with a rather (though constructive) "meh" from le hubby who was surrounded by good cooks throughout his childhood.
But my curiousity was piqued when I kept seeing posts about the Thermomix and how good it was. My bestfriend Wyomia Tsai shared how the TMX was able to cook low GI rice for her husband Stephen Ong who has diabetes (and she is not an advisor so her sharing *felt* more authentic).
However, with the MCO, heavily pregnant, no helper and getting pretty sick of ordering food when le hubby craved for his Tom Yams and Fish Head Curry, I felt the urge to buy it. The problem was? The pandemic did not just take away lives, but livelihoods too. With my last stages of pregnancy (and I was warned by my doctor to take it easy), and event cancelled or postponed left right centre - finances were tight.
So I was a bit #dengkike with the posts of friends and celebs posting their units up. I even made a parody video using my TAMBUNAN MIXER to show that my pressure cooker could do the job making my favourite Beef Stew. BUT lama2, I could not tahan.
I researched the shit out of it and told Azmi, I WANT THE THERMOMIX. He said NO. "Are you bloody kidding me? The unit costs RM7k???"
BUT DAPHNE IKING BAINI.
I found a way. When you want something really badly, you WILL find a way!
I told Azmi, IF I find the money and NOT touch our savings ... can I get it? He said jokingly, "go and sell your handbag".
I didn't, but what I did was I contacted Wyomia. Asked her how much did I have in Young Living Comms that I have not touched (she's been asking me to build the YL business, but I was already overwhelmed with projects and preferred to just be a user. However, I was on essential rewards program for some time because I'm a fan of EO and Ningxia drinks, so I had quite a bit of savings there).
I cashed that deposit out and paid my unit in cash! I've not regretted the decision and was happily sharing my TMX journey with my followers.
Almost a year later, Anis approached me asking how IS the TMX "Is it really as good as it claims? What's the business model like? Show me". I was already a consultant with Norwex then, so I had NO interest in another networking business. But Anis ni ... she's my business partner for a reason. I chose to team up with her (MLGPON) because I trust her business acumen and her strength is numbers.
We were neighbours and continued to develop our friendship despite her move to London and now Jamaica. So she became Chairman, and I became CEO of our MLGPON biz. And here we are, 3 months into the Thermomix #DVaromas business and with her guidance, I am now the Junior Team Manager for DVAs.
I am passionate not just about this smart all in one kitchen, but my growing team too. While Anis looks at numbers, I look at the other rezeki I've found in this journey with TMX.
I love cooking and baking again (So much so, that I'm reorganising my kitchen) , no longer ordering in (except to show support to some local entrepreneurs) and the love and friendship I have gained... MASHAALLAH! That is priceless!!
And my marriage?
The man who was sceptical about this gadget asked whether we should invest in another TMX.
"So you can cook solo for your demos when your SAs can't commit".
He's been such a champ helping our team with the technical side of things so we can run a fantastic cooking demo show, albeit staying safe at home. Just like how Norwex has changed our lives, Thermomix has too.
I only choose the best products to invest in. The ROI owning or earning the TMX is priceless.

I've been dreaming of Bali but I didn't realise that Hong Kong has just as beautiful waterfalls - and it's right in my backyard (figuratively)
Living in Ma On Shan has always been a doozy except for being close to Sai Kung, but the Madai Stream is even closer in Tai Shui Hang! I recommend appropriate footwear and some level of experience to tackle hiking up the stream, and you definitely need to bring a camera!

right move london 在 堅離地城:沈旭暉國際生活台 Simon's Glos World Facebook 的最佳解答
【#TheDiplomat🌍】難得The Diplomat讀者對香港有興趣:
The series of iron-fisted moves last month in Hong Kong may seem sudden to international observers: Hong Kong government’s earlier reinterpretation of the China-Hong Kong relationship, the election of a pro-Beijing legislator to be a Legislative Council chair through a controversial mechanism, and Beijing’s recent decision to impose a national security law on Hong Kong. The desire to bring Hong Kong under the banner of “one country, one system” is not impulsive. Quite the contrary, it’s a calculated campaign to initiate a so-called “second reunification with Hong Kong” — since the first reunification after the handover, using a lenient soft-power approach, has supposedly failed.
What are Beijing’s calculations that motivate this bold campaign now? And more important, will the campaign work?
While I remain highly skeptical of solely applying the realist framework to study Hong Kong, Beijing’s mentality is nonetheless entirely realism-driven. It is therefore essential to use this lens to understand more of their thoughts.
COVID-19: A Golden Opportunity on the International Stage?
To start with, the coronavirus pandemic seems to have created an ideal backdrop for Beijing to push forward its iron-fisted policy toward Hong Kong. The West has been devastated by the pandemic, more so than China, and has been slower to recover economically. Instead of decoupling from China, Beijing thinks the West is desperate for an influx of Chinese capital and markets. This notion encourages Beijing to pursue brinkmanship, in the form of confrontative “wolf warrior diplomacy,” its escalation of sharp power, and, most recently, Hong Kong’s national security law. As long as the international community does not put their condemnation into action, Beijing will keep pushing the envelope.
Beijing is convinced that the chambers of commerce representing other countries in Hong Kong will always place profits above all else as long as the national security law does not threaten them. Business deals struck at the crucial moment can entice foreign businesses to use their lobby teams in their home countries in Beijing’s favor.
Although anti-China sentiment has become more mainstream, Beijing, the major beneficiary of globalization in the past two decades, has tied its destiny with various elites internationally. These “friends of China” can be swayed to safeguard Beijing’s interests, but the up-and-coming leaders in many countries look less friendly. Therefore, the window of opportunity for Beijing to act is closing before the new value-driven generation comes to power.
The Lack of Incentive Behind the U.S. and U.K.’s Escalating Rhetoric
While U.S. politicians from left to right are vocal against China, their ultimate goal, Beijing believes, is to win votes in the November election. They would hence avoid hurting the interest groups they represent and go easy on actions aiming to punish China, such as denying Hong Kong’s status as a separate customs territory, sanctioning Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong, or escalating the trade war.
Even though the Trump administration is ramping up the rhetoric to sanction China, protecting Hong Kong’s autonomy is not one of the United States’ core interests. In contrast, having control over Hong Kong is China’s core interest. Beijing would rather make concessions over other disputes with Washington in exchange for claiming victory in Hong Kong for its internal propaganda.
Britain, the co-signer of the Joint Declaration for Hong Kong’s handover, is arguably most entitled to denounce Beijing’s violation, which would give mandates to the United States to act. But Beijing is convinced that Britain, not as powerful as it used to be, will not make such a move. Beijing’s recent plans to withdraw businesses from the United States and list them in the London stock market is a move to place a wedge between the two powers. U.S. President Donald Trump’s unilateralism and his harsh stance against U.S. allies also strengthens Beijing’s conviction that the West will not follow the United States’ lead.
Beijing’s Divide and Conquer Strategy in Hong Kong
Hong Kong’s parliament, the Legislative Council (LegCo), is a major roadblock to Beijing’s control, as demonstrated twice since the handover — in 2003 when the national security law was first introduced and in 2019 with the anti-extradition legislation that sparked city-wide protests. In both setbacks, Beijing lost control when moderate pro-establishment legislators broke away from the party line in the face of public outcry. As the September LegCo election approaches, the last thing Beijing wants is for the election to become a de facto referendum on the single issue of the national security law, which could result in another landslide win for the democratic parties. The law would be untenable to the international community if it’s opposed by both pro-democracy voters, which according to polls account for 60 percent of the votes, and moderate pro-establishment voters.
The moderates, despite their reluctance to embrace hardline rule in Hong Kong, differ from the more militant faction within the non-establishment camp in that the former rejects the so-called “mutual destruction” option, which risks Hong Kong’s special trade status — its economic lifeline — as a bargaining tactic to force Beijing to back off. Now that Washington is considering withdrawing Hong Kong’s privileges, the possibility of mutual destruction is becoming real. As Beijing has been promoting a narrative that all supporters of the protest movement’s “Five Demands” are bringing about mutual destruction, Beijing hopes the moderates, in fear of losing their financial assets, might turn toward the establishment.
On the other hand, the pro-democracy camp is at risk of breaking apart. Moderate pro-democracy supporters have been going to rallies to keep up with the political momentum. However, marches with more than a million participants would be impossible under the current oppressive environment. For example, the authorities abuse COVID-19 social distancing measures to suppress rallies, permits for peaceful protests are increasingly difficult to obtain, pro-establishment businesses heavily censored the social media activities of employees, and outspoken individuals are often cyberbullied.
Without support from the moderates, some within the pro-democracy camp may radicalize, as Beijing expects. The radicalization would fit Beijing’s tactic of painting protests as separatism and terrorism, justifying the imposition of the national security law. The trajectory would be similar to Beijing’s handling of the 1959 Tibetan “riots,” during which Mao Zedong’s directive was “the more chaotic the scene, the better.”
The Nationalistic Agenda to Divert Domestic Attention
But after all, to Beijing, Hong Kong is not just Hong Kong. In the wake of the pandemic, Beijing urgently needs to uphold nationalism to divert unwanted attention from its economic crisis. That includes a global propaganda campaign to promote its triumph over COVID-19. Upgrading the Hong Kong protests to a national security issue — as a battle against foreign interference to complete the “reunification with Hong Kong” — best suits the nationalist atmosphere. The all-time low sense of belonging with China among the new generation in Hong Kong further justifies a strong-arm approach. The success of the strategy would offer a way to reunite with Taiwan, which would consolidate Xi’s leadership within the Communist Party.
Also, including the Hong Kong issue as part of the national agenda means that the Hong Kong government, which has already lost its will to govern, will dance to Beijing’s tunes.
This comprehensive crackdown on Hong Kong’s civil society is unprecedented. Beijing believes that the heavy-handed approach would pervade Hong Kong with a sense of powerlessness and bring it to its knees. As long as the international response is limited, the execution of the national security law, according to Chairman Mao’s “theory of contradiction,” will follow a script of “a soft hand” and “a firm hand.” That is, after its imposition, the law will initially apply restraint and be used only on individuals to set a stern example, so that the general public would feel as if the law does not impact them at all and property and stock prices would not fall. Gradually and subtly, if the realist formula of Beijing works, the “second reunification” could become a self-proclaimed success story for Beijing’s propaganda.
However, Beijing’s evaluations are not foolproof. Any single miscalculation could lead to a contradictory outcome for the People’s Republic of China. Is it really prepared?

I went to Hyper Japan 2012 in London and tried this Futurama Kitty Ears! I was a cat! Enjoy!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
People think that our bodies have limitations,
but just imagine if we had organs that don't exist,
and could control that new body?
We created new human organs that use a brainwave sensor.
Necomimi is the new communication tool
that augments the human bodies and abilities.
This cat's ear shaped machine utilizes brainwaves
and expresses your emotional state before you start talking
Just put on Necomimi and if you are concentrating,
this cat's ear shaped machine will rise.
When you are relaxed, your new ears lie down.
If you are concentrating and relaxing at the same time,
your new ears will rise and actively move.
In general, professional sports players demonstrate this ability the most.
What will happen when people show their feelings
even when they don't express them?
Interesting? Ashamed? Scared?
In the beginning, people may feel strange,
however people quickly become accustomed to controlling their new ears
with their brainwaves. Right now, Necomimi can become a part of your body.
人間の身体や能力には限界があると誰しもが思っています。
しかし、本来ないはずの器官が身体についていたら?
しかもその器官を意思の力で動かすことができたら?
わたしたちは脳波を測定するセンサーを使用して
新しい人間の器官を開発しました。
「necomimi」は人間の身体や能力を拡張する
まったく新しいコミュニケーションツールです。
ネコの耳の形をしたこの機械は、脳波を利用して
あなたが言葉に出すよりも早くあなたの状態を表現します。
頭の上に「necomimi」をつけてください。
あなたが集中すると、耳はピンと上に立ち上がります。
あなたがリラックスすると、耳はくたりと寝た状態になります。
集中とリラックスが同時に訪れると
耳は立ち上がり、ピクピクと動きます。
この状態はプロのスポーツ選手などが
その力を最も発揮する状態と言われています。
表現しようとする以外の自分の状態を、外部に表すことによって
どのような感情の変化が訪れるでしょうか?
面白い?恥ずかしい?怖い?
最初は違和感を感じるかもしれません。
しかし装着をつづけると、
ある程度、脳波で耳の動きをコントロールできるようになります。
そのとき「necomimi」はあなたの身体の一部になります。
