Trollbeads Malaysia


Hello everyone! Today I'm going to share a bit about Trollbeads Malaysia. In case you don't know, Trollbeads is the creator of the original "bead on bracelet" concept that has taken the world by storm!


Their pieces are not only intricately gorgeous, they are also made with love and care. Each piece tells a story that is unique to the wearer; every bead keeps a memory to be held-dear and treasured.


About the Brand 


Trollbeads is a popular jewelry brand run as a family business by the Nielsen/Aagaard family.

The story of its establishment dates back to 1976, in Copenhagen, Denmark, when Soren Nielsen created the first Trollbead called 'Faces' which was sold at his father's jewelry shop. It was so called due to the 6 different faces showed as you turn the bead on the bracelet. These include happy, sad and angry faces, which are representative of emotions we feel in daily life.

Instead of following the fashion trend back then, Nielsen came up with a new idea - to place an opening through the center of the bead - which inspired his sister Lise Aagaard, who then founded Trollbeads and opened her own jewelry store. One day, upon a customer's request, more than one bead was added to her bracelet. This created the "bead on bracelet" concept which has revolutionized the jewelry world and captured the hearts of females worldwide. 

Today Trollbeads is established in more than 400 cities worldwide.


You might ask, why Trollbeads? Why not Pandora? Or Thomas Sabo? 

Trollbeads vs Pandora and  Thomas Sabo


Although Pandora and Thomas Sabo might be more popular, Trollbeads are better known for their unique beads and excellent craftsmanship.

1. Use of unique beads and quality materials
Trollbeads uses 18 karat gold, gemstones and Murano artisan glass beads handmade by skillful craftsmen worldwide to create high quality and durable pieces of art.

2. The versatile Trollbeads bracelet
Trollbeads bracelet's special design allows beads from other manufacturers to fit easily, whereas Pandora's bracelet is screwed, preventing other manufacturers' beads from being added to it. Thomas Sabo Karma Beads Bracelet's operates in a similar concept to that of Trollbeads. However, the Karma beads have tiny holes, which are not compatible with any other charm bracelet, not even Trollbeads' versatile chain.

3. Rustic charm of Trollbeads
Compared to Pandora and Thomas Sabo, Trollbeads charms have a more earthier and rustic feel to them. When coupled with Trollbeads' rich history and heritage, it presents a classical appeal that Pandora and Thomas Sabo's polished modern charms are lacking of.

4. Creativity in Charm Designs
Trollbeads charms are more creative and playful in the sense that they are inspired by abstract art, stories, legends, myths and folklore, whereas Pandora plays it safe by featuring easily-identified daily objects. Thomas Sabo, like Pandora, does produce some nice charms but it does not take on abstract concepts like Trollbeads.

5. Detailed Silver Charms
Trollbeads' silver beads are more detailed than Pandora's and Thomas Sabo. Trollbeads pieces are also stunning and colourful in their own way, easy to pair with and timelessly elegant. If you know how much work and effort goes into creating a charm, you will learn to appreciate it.


Long story short, if you are in search of truly unique beads that tells a personal story, Trollbeads is your best choice.

Movie Review: The Greatest Showman | 影评:马戏之王


The Greatest Showman  is a wonderful cinematic experience to me. I loved that this musical actually has a morale behind it. It teaches me a few things:

1. Appreciate our family and friends, and not to put so much emphasis on fame and wealth.
2. Respect and treat others as you want to be treated by others.
3. Happiness can be simple sometimes. It doesn't have to be necessarily materialistic or elaborate.
4. A real upper-class person is one who has a big heart.
5. Putting your dreams into action can make a whole world of difference.

The wonderful music, memorable songs, and stellar performances are bound to linger in your mind for weeks after watching this movie. Though not necessarily historically accurate, The Greatest Showman  is joyous, exuberant and uplifting. I had a fantastic time watching it.

One thing for sure, the soundtrack will be on repeat for a very long time.

Thank you Nuffnang and Afreeda for the chance to watch this movie!


我很喜欢马戏之王这部戏,因为这个故事有moral value。

1. 我觉得这部戏其实在教我们不要太执着于追求名利,要多关心身边的家人朋友。
2. 这部戏也提醒我们要尊重别人,就算他跟我们不一样——因为每个人都希望被接受、被认同。
3. 幸福有时候很简单,不需要太多物质上的满足,更多是内心的实在、快乐。
4. 一个上流人士不只是身份外表上的体现,只有内在也是善良美好的人才是真正的绅士。
5. 把梦想挂在嘴边不如付诸于行动,实现梦想。

另外,音乐编曲实在是太棒了,我超爱的。简直余音绕梁!感觉一个月以内会被我无限重播。

谢谢 Nuffnang 和 Afreeda!

Review: Ambrosial Greek Yoghurt 安慕希


I believe everyone has heard of An Mu Xi, the popular Ambrosial Greek Yoghurt from China. Many Malaysians order this off Taobao and have them shipped here by sea. Even though I've heard of it for quite some time, today is my first time trying it. The texture is very thick and creamy. It tasted moderately sweet and mildly sour, just nice for me. Unfortunately I don't have a refrigerator here in my college, or else it would taste even better chilled!

相信大家都对安慕希不陌生,这是很多马来西亚人在淘宝买了特地运过来马来西亚卖的希腊酸奶。虽然久仰大名,我今天还是第一次尝试原味安慕希,口感很好,浓浓的、甜中带微酸,可惜我宿舍这里没有冰箱,要不然冷藏的一定更美味。
