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.

最后一波 shoutout 。

类似疫情这样的挑战，老实说三不五时都在我真正的专业领域里在不同人身上发生，正在努力中的，没有余力说不容易，拍拍肩膀咬紧牙关继续娱乐，是我敬佩演艺各界人士的地方。有热忱有正确态度思维，有料，自会燃烧。我从来都自带傲气，做得好，不用喊支持本地的口号，只求没用过没看过没体验过的人不妄自菲薄，求个别领域的人用力磨练功夫媲美海外。别怨，学。马来西亚人，有时真他妈自卑而不自知。

今日菜单：

@sayocameronhighlands - handpicked fresh produce directly from farm to house. I have always adored this kind of effort, it is ‘eco friendly’ in every way — your wallet, farmers blood shed effort, time, and waste. Learn more about their story. Oh and their feed is simply beautiful to look at.

@breakfirst_and_co - watched the movie Chef before? Here’s a shoutout to our very own breakfast food truck running in Puchong, Yulek and Sri Petaling. Pick up and kick start your day. Who else has had a food truck dream? I always thought it’s quite a romantic idea.

@merryicecream.my - I guess the name says it all. What sparks my interest is their innovation in crafting local flavours - Tau Fu Fah, Pei Pa Koa, Tau Sar Piah, Kacang Tumbuk and etc. Based in Penang, they came up with an interesting wedding tricycle cart creation. Check them out to learn more.

@belokal_my - a new local startup that aims to empower and create awareness for Malaysian’s products by local artisans, designers and crafters. I spoke about how I am always proud about our local produces, so proud I don’t even wanna mention the word local whenever possible, but made In Malaysia yes. There’s pride in how it is structured. But reality is, we are often lack of funding or support, chicken and egg story. Appreciate belokal for creating a platform to bind everyone together.

@evrsnc - Malaysian fashion label, who believes in selling lifestyle instead of selling clothes. I believe fashion is an unspoken statement of you to the world, what you wear partially defines who you are. Let’s see if you can find your words here.

And an extra one for the last day.

@yudimamascoconutcandy - for coconut candy lovers, by our beloved veteran singer Yudi. I’m sorry but I am always sold when packaging is beautiful. This could be a great CNY gift.

世界颠倒，有时候只是角度问题。

各界请加油，我也请加油 ♥️

Since I am also a local Malaysian brand. I like to support local products from the local farmers, stores and brands. Today I have Ayam Kampung (village free range chicken) from Ah Lau @Ahlaufking the famous violinist @dennisviolin .. Very healthy looking chicken. Not much fat and affordable, NICE!

So I thought of sharing this recipe with you all. My Poh Poh used to make us stuffed mackerel fish, stuffed chicken and stuffed veggie, which I plan to show soon in the next IGTVs.

You need to prepare this a day ahead. Debone the chicken from the bottom up (by still keeping the whole chicken in shape, don't cut the body), marinate it overnight before you stuff the fillings the next day.

Ingredients :
. one whole chicken

MARINATION-
. 4 Cloves garlic
. lemon juice
. small piece galangal
. 3 tsp soya sauce
. black pepper
. ginger juice

- Grind them to a smooth paste -

FOR THE STUFFING-
. 1kg of minced chicken, it is also depending on the size of your chicken
. Cut spring onions
. Chop 1 big red onion
. Shredded carrot
. Green peas
. 2 cloves chopped garlic
. Sesame Oil
. Salt
. Black Pepper
. Pounded curry leaves
. Chopped coriander

-Mix them all up and leave overnight or at least few hours before using-

FOR ROASTING- You will need some oil or butter , baking paper, black pepper and Thyme.

FOR GARNISHING - use any type of vegetable, or fruits like berries and pineapple or orange.

You may also prepare a sauce of your choice to serve. I like to eat them with my own Mel's Kidnap Me Hot Sauce (you want to know how I make it?)

Alright, have a good cooking time!

This is not a sponsor video,  I do care and want to support local products.  Me as a local brand finds it difficult too. But I want to be hopeful and think positive. I love to help local small businesses and brands to promote their products. So do whatsapp Ray at 0122940298 and we will try to use whatever may come. Bring on the challenge! Let's help each other in this difficult time.

How good is Japanese food at Singapore’s food court? To find out, I visited a local food court and tried 5 menu from a Japanese stall. To be honest, I have never really tried Japanese food at a food court because they don’t really look that authentic and good... Hopefully this video will change my perspective. Let’s feast.

For this episode, we went down to The Drunken Poet at Orchard Road to attempt an Undefeated 5KG Burger Challenge! This challenge has a 30-minute time limit and can be done in pairs. I invited a subscriber of mine and budding competitive eater, Edmund (@edapappe), to tackle this challenge with me. On top of all that, The Drunken Poet offered to donate $500 to a charity of our choosing should we do it within the time limit. We decided on Tak Takut Kids Club (TTKC), a children’s charity.

The burger itself consisted of a 1.5kg Beef Patty, a 1kg burger bun, 500g each of lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, crispy bacon and crispy onions, forming one formidable burger. It is actually available for delivery and costs $98.70, easily serving 5-6 people. Perhaps surprisingly, most of the components of the burger were delicious, especially the crispy bacon. With a time limit and only 2 daring men attempting it, it was truly a challenge. Focusing only on the kids relying on us, we pushed through and completed this Undefeated 5kg Burger Challenge in 28 minutes and 21 seconds.

Thankfully, this means that TTKC is $500 closer to their fundraising needs. TTKC is a home to many children and teenagers who come from challenging backgrounds. It is where children can come and play, make friends, get help with homework, and receive socio-emotional support that they might not be able to get in their own homes and in schools. As a connector to nearly a hundred participants (and local stakeholders), TTKC is also readily activated when community support for children is needed. It sees a daily attendance of 40 children, and their numbers are growing steadily! TTKC needs at least $25,000 to cover rent for the upcoming year, so please check out their website below to find out how you can support them, either by directly donating or through one of their fundraising programs.
