chill – My Minimalist Lifestyle

New Home 🥰

Alhamdulillah, praise to Allah SWT that I finally settled down with the new home. Syukran.

Hello, everyone!! It’s quite some time I’m away as I’m busy with job and housing stuff.

Phew, finally, I managed to settle down and shifted some of my stuff over to the new house.

It requires a lot of planning and efforts. Thank you to those who always support me behind my back. Without all of you, I won’t be able to do it by myself alone.

Check this out the bare unit, yet to complete. Insya Allah will be completed by end of December 2024 🥰

Balcony, yes, it’s the French Balcony. 😂 Ideally, I don’t have Balcony, just sliding doors 😝

View from Living Room, for kitchen and entrance.

Kitchen is too small, I did hack n levelling the yard to make it look bigger. 🤪

Okay, the idea of this house is dual key, but as I will stay here so I will make a laundry room for this space. 🥰

So many defects, it took around 3 months to finished all the major defects. This is the masterbedroom toilet.

That’s all for now, I will report the after renovation when everything completed.

Can’t wait 😁

To be continued…

Ahhuuuuu!!!! Let’s Party! @Cyberview Resort & Spa in Cyberjaya

Halluuuuuu Everyone!!!! How ya doing?? Hope u are all in a good shape!!

SooOooo it’s our reward days!!! Me with my cousin sister went to an underrated Resort Spa, I guess..because so less people there..but hey…its good for our healing session. Muahahahhaha

Packing my stuff in 1 whole luggage, I actually having interview session, so I bring along my laptop in the luggage 😂

So, I book via travel website, but pay by cash during the check in time. It was smooth as very less people, compared to Bangi Resort Hotel and very professional staff.

It was about 30min from Bangi/Kajang area, and I think around 45min drive from Damansara. I think, because the location is kinda far, and hardly to travel (you require transportation to get to here), probably that makes it less people eventhough its on public holiday. Good for me to heal my soul 😃

So, as I reached there, I don’t need to worry about parking as the parking is super spacious and I think there is place for busses as well. I parked next to the lobby area.

When we reached there, the staff will come to you with some refreshment tea, with soft wet small towel. I got no idea what the towel for, haha. I just took the tea, it was nice but towards the bottom got some spiciness from ginger I guess 😃

Oh, if you wanna go breakfast, you can order the buggy car. But we don’t have patience to wait, so we just walk. it’s not that far from the room to the restaurant, probably the buggy car is convenience for those have kids and elderly people, I guess.

This is the lobby, it’s traditional decor with nice smell , I think it’s jasmine smell 😋

We be given map for the whole resort too, see how huge the resort was 😃

The main reason we book here, is to try their spa. Unfortunately it’s only by book.hahahaha and it’s fully booked. fine 🙂

So, after I checked in *(No deposit required, which is good 😃),* we bring our car to the room. It’s a huge hotel area with nice and spectacular landscape. So our room is kinda like in a villa building. Not sure, if this is the term people call resort, but I kinda like the concept tho 🥰

We booked superior room, because just 2 ladies party. hahahahahaha 😝 The bed is superb comfort. love the mattress so much 🥰

Okay, the coffee bar is soo unique. you can close it and open like this. Besides next to the pantry cupboard was a place where u can put ur shoes n jacket.

The room has separate wet bathroom and dry bathroom. I love the concept as for ladies, we have a make up area. hahaha. so the right side is actually closet u can open for the both doors.

This is the right side of wardrobe, so there is a safety box, that we don’t normally use. hahaha coz afraid we forgot our own password 🤪

and also, there is an extra pillow, iron, hair dryer, insect spray, laundry bag and indoor slippers.

The toiletries – toothbrush, comb, cap, sanity bag, cottonbud, cotton face, sew kit..I think that’s all.

I love the sink, there is a space for soup and love the smart design.

I’m in love with the bathroom, but don’t have much time to explore the tub. maybe I will return n exploring the tub. haha. It’s spa concept, totally in love ❤️

The shower is absolutely awesome. the water pressure is superb, and it feels like showering in a heavy rain. Absolutely stunning for the washroom 🥰❤️🥰

After check-in, we relax for a while and jump into the pool. Hooyeahhh!!!! Check these out…🥳

This resort is fully landscape and I can see its the mixture of Japanese and Ballinese concept. Breathtaking view for relaxation 😌

There are 3 pools – this is for babies, below photo is for adult and the following photo for kids. It’s kinda deep for adult, up to 5ft.

If u see the entrance to the landscape, there are people name. I’m not so sure who are these people 😃 probably someone famous either politician or artist, I guess 🙂

There, got waterfall. Sooo relaxing. This is the adult pool 🥰❤️🥰

I think this resort has 3 restaurants – Verandah is the main as the breakfast will be @Verandah restaurant. I’m not so sure this restaurant as it was closed when we came and there is another 1 bar opposite side.

There are 2 hammock that u can chill on, but we just put our things on it. lol

This is different pond, no fish inside. kinda like Japanese garden concept. this area got various room for workshop or meeting rooms.

There is also traditional game you can play, just as the receptionist. Not sure tho if required any charges.

Once we done with the pool, we chill for awhile at the room and went out for dinner. Oh! btw the pool open at 8am to 7pm. and the room service available to order before 9.30pm.

So, we are about to go to Volcano Shabu Shabu, the steamboat and grill restaurant, unfortunately only by reservation. Dang!! so we ate next to the restaurant, which is TaeYang Island. Well, it’s not that bad. I ordered Soy Sauce Chicken with Tuna rice ball and my cousin ordered Fried rice Cheese with Chicken Cheese. My portion is small, but her portion is superbig..so we shared. hahahahaha 🤣

Soy Sauce chicken, not spicy once. Not bad🍗

and I really love this sooo much!!! ❤️ I think it’s mixed with Japenese mayonnaise, seaweed, tuna..taste so good and very filling ❤️🔥💯

After we had our dinner, we bought some coffee…Frappuccino Mocha for me and Cafe latte for her.

The next morning, we had breakfast as early as 7am. hahahaha both are morning person. So the breakfast here starts at 7am until 10am @Verandah Restaurant.

The entrance, you just give the receptionist the voucher. Voucher will be given upon check in if you pay with breakfast. I recommend to buy with their breakfast, cozy place for chilling 😎

It’s variety for food, I’m not be able to taste all. So there are fruits, cereal, croissants, cakes & cupcakes, pancake, bread, Malaysian favorite Nasi Lemak, Chicken curry, rendang beef and more. I cant eat all. hahaha Omelette..but no ice cream. it will be better with ice cream, coz I love to eat pancake with ice cream 😃

Our breakfast, so there are teh tarik, white coffee , hot chocolate, mocha n black coffee..I took Malay traditional breakfast and she took American breakfast 😃😃😃

I think that’s all, after we had breakfast, I had an interview took place in the resort room. hahaha then we just chill, and check out 1 hr early. coz she got something to do. Eventhough we are busy, we try to find time to spend for soul healing. Enjoying ourselves 🥰

Till then, see ya in next post..😉

Love, Sofia

Pulse Grande Hotel Review 🥰

Hey hey heylllOoww Everybody!!!! Hahaha…I feel soOooOooooOooo refreshing today. Happy Eid Adha to all my Muslim sisters and brothers.

Last Friday, I’m visiting the 5 star hotel at Putrajaya – Pulse Grande Hotel. I really need a good break, and having my own time there. Whenever I felt about to burn out from work, I will reward myself by locking down myself in a good hotel.

Let’s check this out..

This is the entrance of the Pulse Grande Hotel entrance. As you can park your car at the near by parking lot with free of charge ❤

The original lobby at Level 3 was in progress of renovation. I should say the interior is quite old, and need to do some renovation. The temporary Lobby was at Level 2. Picture shows the view from the parking. Parking is a bit far, but don’t worry, there is a free buggy pickup and drop at the entrance of the Lobby. But, I don’t like waiting, so I just walked 😃

From the temporary entrance, you can see the Receptionist on your left, and straight path to the room’s lift on your right. Drop by at the receptionist for check-in, they will ask your Identity Card for local visitor, and perhaps your passport for foreigner. The receptionist will brief you on which floor the hotel and restaurant, and what time the room service will be available. If you bring your car, they will ask your Plat Number for their records.

From the receptionist, there are 2 type of elevator. On the right side is transparent elevator, which you can see the garden and small river downstairs. The other elevator also can bring you to the rooms, however it’s not transparent and it’s a normal elevator. Well, I want to see the view, so I’m using this transparent elevator to my room. 🥰

When I’m entering the room, there is huge foyer infront of the room. I think this is the biggest foyer so far I had experience for hotels 😃. The left side is wardrobe and right side was the bathroom.

The bathroom is spacious compared normal hotel I went in KL. There is separate bathtub, shower and bowl. You can enter for 3 or 4 pax inside the bathroom!! hahahaha 😂

So, the unique part for this hotel room is that, it has opened window for bathtub to the room!! I can see it’s very convenient for those who want to have honeymoon here..or just to bring kids for having fun in bathtub. It’s kinda a good idea for me.

So, this is the big and comfortable bedroom in the room. I think there is a decoration services as well if you want to celebrate your memories day with some extra charges. I don’t know how much, you may check out by calling the hotel 😃

The overall view from one of the room corner.

There is a chair and table if you want to write or work with your laptop.

On top of the table, there is a pencil and note, just in case if you need to write and leave a note.

I’m kinda like the switches for the room. 🥰

It has appropriate label on each of the switches.

the view from the bathroom to the bedroom.

I like the water pressure for the shower and love the built in rack.

The room has bathrobes and indoor shoes. I really love the bathrobes, it’s very much comfortable. 🥰

I brought my fairy light each time I went to hotel. It gave me relaxing vibes and chill ambience 🥰❤🥰

So, I just stay for a night, and I didn’t take their breakfast. Maybe once I got time, I will rebook again and try their breakfast. It’s just a day escape from a hectic life I had for past few months.

I really love the view, it was quiet and tranquil surrounding the hotel. This is the view from the balcony.

The next morning, I check out a bit early around 11am. You can check in after 3pm, and check out before 12pm at this hotel. When u check out, the receptionist will ask u if buggy required. I just feel too lazy to wait for the buggy, so I just walked to my car 😃😃😃

On the way back, I just took some snap photo at their garden. Oh!! If you stay here, this place has a very nice lights garden that you can walk casually with your love one here.

That’s all. It was worth it to chill and relax, to get urself a refreshment after a tiring weeks/months from work.

Till then, to be continued..

Love, Sofia
