For almost 2 months, I dared not go jogging far from where I stay as I had left my pepper spray in Ipoh when I went back during the August school term break. I had asked the hubs to get me a new one but he could not remember where he got me the previous one which was bought about 4-5 years ago.
After our dim sum lunch at Oriental Pavilion at Jaya 33 recently, I hopped over to Ace Hardware shop which was located just opposite Oriental Pavilion.  Just as we had stepped in, Alycia called out to me excitedly and told me that she saw pepper sprays! I was so excited when I saw such a wide range of pepper sprays on display. I of course got attracted to a pink color one, which is my favorite color, priced at RM23.50 each.
A pepper spray gives me a peace of mind and security. When I was without a pepper spray, I carried a whistle in my pocket whenever I went jogging in the morning. Never underestimate these tiny but mighty defense gadget. Stay cool and aim directly on the mugger’s eyes. It can blind him momentarily. And as for the whistle, the sound of it will just scare the mugger and attract the attention of passers-by.
Do you carry any defense gadget in your handbag or pocket? Please do ladies. It may safe your life!

Safety is such a big issue in Msia these days. Stay safe.
ya..be safe than sorry 🙂
Better play safe..
Wow, didn’t know can buy that in KL. It is illegal here; only used by the police. Personally, I’d carry a can of bug spray as that is probably more toxic to the attacker!
Yeah, it’s really not safe these days. Gotta take watever safety measures u can.
Saw some offer in the online coupon sites (groupon, living social, my deal, etc). Those with pepper spray n alarm. But din dare to buy coz not sure if they’re good.
Hmm…I should get some too. Whistle would be useless, I think, especially if someone attacks from the back, right? Been reading the news – it’s so crazy nowadays.
Best is to jog within your condo vicinity during sunlight hours – with a good pepper spray. I “renewed” my pepper spray at a safety talk last year. Apparently we should only use those made in USA and change every 2 years. Does your kids take up taekwando? Wonder if it’s a good thing to send my girl to.
