It’s just the beginning of Year, but I felt πŸ€ͺπŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« already.

This year, I’m gonna have ZERO expectation and 100% of mind enjoyment, soul therapy and soul healing.

I’m truly exhausted with coming back to office, and trying to find company which gimme some sort peace of mind.

My Aim Target this year is…….to celebrate my own birthday with my ownself!!!! Book a 5 Star hotel room, sending myself whole cake, bouquet of flowers and Floating balloon!!! Who cares!! Nobody did that for me, and I had stopped expecting anyone doing such for me. Well!!!! I will do it myself and celebrating myself. I deserved a princess treat and I will treating myself like a princess on my birthday!!!! HeLLLLL YEAAAAHH!!!

WOMAN out there, stopped expecting if u don’t get a romantic partner. We celebrate ourself like how we want it to be. To those woman who treated them like this, Don’t expose your man as there will be a lot of eyes watching.

HELLLL YEAAHHH! I officially stop expecting from anyone else.

Love,

Sofia

Jingle Jingle Hi-Tea @ICity Shah Alam πŸŽ…

What’s up, uolss? Just wanna throw back last week hi-tea with my family. It was superb, unfortunately I’m unable to try all the food. Ayee ayee!! πŸ€ͺ It’s okay, I’m gonna repeat it, but maybe to try on the BBQ dinner, yummy 🀀

Check these out, some photos I managed capture before the crowd πŸ˜‚πŸ₯°

Jingle Jingle Hi-Tea..muahahaha..I just give it a nickname..lol. So, it was slightly higher price then the normal hi-tea at the Icity Hotel. For senior citizen, was charged as per adult coz its kinda promo stuff. πŸ€ͺ

Here are some photos..I just took dessert table, the main course I forgot to snap..hahahahaha..so for the main dish they have lamb, salmon, calamari, prawn, BBQ chicken..and a lot more..I didn’t manage to taste all..too many options πŸ€ͺπŸ€ͺ

Ice cream…also didn’t manage to eat πŸ₯² too full with lamb n calamari
Drinks section
I took lamb, calamari, salmon…so sad, I’m too full coz of the early breakfast I had. The hotel breakfast has varieties options, too.
My desserts..super delicious πŸ₯°
This is the most delicious. orange taste with apple crumble. super delicious, the problem with me is I’m still full coz of earlier breakfast I had..the hotel breakfast buffet. If u come here, make sure ur tummy is empty, if not gonna waste that cant taste all the food. ayee
Lovely, I’m gonna repeat again, but definitely this time with totally empty tummy. 😝
Ice cream..not mine..

aiyoo aiyooo….Im gonna repeat but maybe to try their BBQ dinner.

If you came to the hotel and slept over, u will be entitled complimentary to their 20% discount. I think the price is reasonable compared to other hotels. and soooo many varieties of food and mouth watering 🀀

Happy New Year 2024!!! Happy Me, New Me πŸ˜ƒ

Assalamualaikum and Good Day to All of you,

Alhamdulillah, we had passed throughout all the rough years.

In 2023, none of my goals had achieved, my wish for 2024 is to achieve at least 5 of my previous goals πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

I still remember the day when I went through this, and Alhamdulillah, all my prayers were answered. 🀲

My New Resolutions:

Since my previous year had “successfully” failed to fulfill the goals, this year I listed fewer goals and hope can achieve it. insya Allah.

I started my 2024 goals by aiming max 5 points for this year πŸ˜ƒ:

1. Having A Healthy Lifestyle

It’s been very busy years back in 2022 and 2023. This year, I wanna be healthier in terms of physical and mental health. I’m trying to prioritize my own health, the most crucial and important thing is to do. I’d signed up for a gym membership and about to start on 15 January.

My wish is to be committed to going to the gym and control on food intake. Let’s hope this to be happened and keep it consistent throughout this year.

2. Pick Up My Golds from Bank

Last year, I’ve spending some money to buy gold jewelry and put it in the bank. This year, I’m gonna stop buying and just take my jewelry from the bank. Our gov had raised tax % by 2% and gonna implement taxes on gold jewelry. Thus, I bought most in last year, and this year, I will be more focused on taking back all the jewelries. I wanna thank this for my fiancΓ©, as he is the only person who supports me to buy and collect gold after my trauma from my previous relationship. πŸ₯°

3. Take BA Foundation cert

This cert has been pending quite a long period. I wanna pursue this for this year and take the exam. I always feel nervous about taking an exam. I hope I will find strength to take the exam and pass with flying colors. insya Allah ❀️

4. Cut Off more Debt

This year, I wanna cut off credit card debt. It’s been years paying for credit cards, and I hope I can zerorise the credit card.

5. Declutters Wardrobe

I already started this yesterday and am feeling kinda happy with the outcomes. I think I might need another 1 round of cleanup, and then I will be good about it. I love empty spaces, and it makes me feel relaxed πŸ˜ƒ

That’s All for Now..

Till then…to be continued…

Love, Sofia

Well Well Well, it’s just around the corner, we are about to enter year of 2024!! Hoho!! Time flies so fast…and now the world is ending…hurmmmm.

Well everyone, I’ve successfully managed to live a minimalist lifestyle for about at least 5 years, to be honest, I really love the lifestyle and bring a lot of positive vibes. especially when I stopped buying junk stuff, and selling my junk stuff. Keep my environment clean n tidy.

As for now, I have a new things to unlock, where I’m looking forward a place to settle down and built my own sustainability and zero waste house. Yes!!! U heard it correctly and clearly. I wanna built a family with sustainability and zero waste home. Then, I wanna have my own farm and a run a restaurant. But before hand, it required a loooooooOoooot of research, the risk and impact to each item I wanna unlock moving forward 2024 and onward. WeehoooOooo!!

Babe, to be honest..the minimalist lifestyle makes me having some extras, where I can proceed my future goal on the next level..which is..sustainability and zero waste. Hihihi!!!

So guys, stay tuned! Looking forward for sustainability and zero waste residential and restaurant for the new achievements. Insya Allah πŸ₯°β€οΈπŸ₯°

My New Addiction…916 Gold Starbucks Beads πŸ˜ƒ

Hi everyone and Salam Maulidur Rasul to all Muslims. How are you today? Hope you are well and blessed.

Just want to share one of my addiction now, which is a factor on how do I shift from negative cashflow to positive cashflow.

Previously, I’ve been so demotivated on workload etc of my surroundings. I try to find something that I love to do, which is valuable for future.

So, it happened from my sister and my mom influence on buying golds. The main support comes from my dearest person who always gimme moral supports and motivation to make gold collection.

I found adorable Pandora beads online, Starbucks 916 gold which is my fav one. πŸ₯°

I think I’m gonna start coffee and food collection since I love coffee and Im foodie… hahaha!! πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜‚

This month, I managed to buy 2 sizes starbuck beads- Venti & Grande. I’ve seen Coffee Grinder Gold Beads before, and I wanna find it for my next month budget. Just to add-on to my Coffee & Food collection. Other than those, I managed to buy necklace with Hermes Beads. Yeaahhh!!! ❀🌹πŸ”₯

Can’t wait for my next adventure…looking forward for more cute 916 gold Pandora beads for future..weee!!! πŸ₯°

Look how cute the box is!!! It’s original boxes when I bought it. So, presentable and lovely. ❀
Zoom in 🧐
My 2nd necklace..hehehe..I love to stack my necklace, bangle and bracelet with different designs. πŸ₯°
Yay!!! Managed to get it during Maulidur Rasul promotion today. Soo lovely ❀
Previously I got Hermes beads , 999. This time I bought 916. To be honest, favorable for me is 916, coz 999 is too soft and can bend easily.
Tadaaaa!!!!

Heheheehe..thats all for this month…lets see what we will have for next month. I hope I can find the coffee grinder ❀πŸ₯°β€

till then, to be continued…

Bangi Resort Hotel πŸ₯°β€πŸ₯°

HellooOoOooo Everyone!!! How are you??

Just to share my experience healing after ups & down working crazily. hahaha…

Check these out..

Tadaaa!!! This is the entrance to the Hotel’s Lobby. It was huge and smell soo good. I’m kinda love the ambience.

So I reached to this hotel quiet early, around 2pm. The check-in time is 3pm. Yay!! 1 hour early, I’m checking out the surrounding and found 1 nice outdoor restaurant. it’s called, “The Burgerlab”!!

The view is breathtaking from the BurgerLab restaurant..and it’s breezing. I had a good lunch here πŸ₯°β€πŸ₯°
The Hawaian burger and chicken nugget.
I bought 1 set..cost RM 30, the burger, side dish macaroni and bottomless soft drink.
The bridge from the lobby to the BurgerLab restaurant.
Breathtaking view for the ponds. Need to take the bridge to the BurgerLab.
the pond views…it has lot of fishes. You can buy fish pellet at the counter, cost RM 5.30/pack.
Tadaa!!! I bought 3packets!! πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ
There is some info regarding the fish naming..I dont bother those..lol
The pool is soo huge and beautiful..max depth is 1.5m, not too deep, but at least better than most of hotels swimming pool. normally they have 1.2m depth. Nice pool.
The Loaf!! it’s cafe..a nice but pricey..hehhheh. once awhile, it’s good to have it. the bottle drinks cost RM 15.90. I forgot the bread..lol
So, I booked Deluxe Room, it looks something like this. When I check-in, they said my room is not ready and about 4pm plus, need to push until I get the key. I asked for late check-out, coz the check-out is 11am. So, im requesting check-out at 12pm. Not sure, maybe because of the peak hours the service is relatively slow. so, yea, if u go during peak hour, try to ask the staff several times until they give the key. yay!! LOL
Okay, so this is the elevators to the ground floor which lead to swimming pools and to hotels
rooms.
the hallway to the rooms..
Breakfast is…okay..not too fancy..but not too lousy. Okay for breakfast.
alright, the card u received for the rooms has this pamphlet. You can get free drinks and some discounts on their restaurant if not mistaken. but I dont use any of it. hahaahha..I went to “Farm in the City”. Will update on that u next post..something interesting ..hehehe 😁😁😁
Okay ,before went back..Im having my lunch at the BurgerLab..coz I think the food is really nice
I took Joe Burger..But I guess Hawaiians burger is nicer..a bit spicy than this. this burger taste similar to McChicken..normal burger.

Okay, till then..my experience staying at Bangi Resort Hotel. I will definitely come back and try out their spa n gym..

A lil bit left….for the house…πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

Hey hey heyy, hey everyone!! How are ya? Hope you are all good.

Just wanna share some idea on what I’d done to my 1st home. Just a lil bit touch up before its ready to view for the next tenant.

So basically, what only left is:

1. To receive another curtain as current curtain is actually shorts after the folding. LOL. So I bought another 2 blackout curtain for my living room.

2. To receive my TV, I bought a smart TV for the house.

3. To hang the kitchen curtain. I already have it, just that I forgot to bring plier and scissor for cutting and adjusting the wire.

4. To hang bathroom mirror and bathroom rack. I need to bring along the strong double sided tape, I guess I just use double sided tape for the rack. πŸ˜ƒ

5. To dismantle and install the water heater. I already bought 2units, just need plumber to install. I already book plumber to do such things πŸ˜€

So, check these out the differences before I took over and after I took over the house πŸ˜ƒπŸ₯°πŸ˜ƒ

This was before, when im viewing the house before my tenant move out.
This was after I clean the house and make lil changes.
This will be the final, only the Smart TV left to put on the TV cabinet.

Check out the kitchen…

This was before when I viewing the house when my tenant still living in.
After my tenant move out and I clean up the kitchen.
This was after I do a total cleanup and buy some carpet for kitchen.

Now, let’s see the dining area…πŸ₯°

This was before the tenant move out, when the tenant still living in the house.
This was after the clean up,, I rearranged n buy some stuff for the dining area.

Let’s check out rooms, the house has 3rooms and 2bathrooms.

The masterbedroom during the tenancy.
The master bedroom after clean up, painted furniture and bought mattress cover & curtains .
This was the middle room, where the tenant make it as store. A lot of clean up done for this room.
This was the current view. Perhaps it need some rearrange, but not sure yet. I just bought the mattress cover and curtain for this room.
This was the smallest room. Originally I made it as my wardrobe and clothes organization room. So, my tenant just continue it, kinda a lot of stuff.
So I do a clean up and bought curtain. nothing much I did for this room. Just a cleaning.

So, most of the thing I did was, a massive clean up, throwing unnecessary stuff and do a lot of painting. I did paint the furniture such as TV cabinet, coffee table, make up table, mirror frame, TV rack, the dryer outside as well πŸ˜ƒ

Some other things I snap photo before I went back home last Saturday πŸ˜ƒπŸ₯°πŸ˜ƒ

I still need 2 more curtains..lol
The shoe rack, I don’t buy expensive shoe rack. I just re-paint the original brown wooden color with black and light grey color. I just buy the spray paint, make my life easier..LOL
Tadaa ❀❀❀

Okay, I will snap the rest pending things and post in later…

see yaa!! To be continued..

Re-use!!! Turn Extra Bar Chair’s leg into Aesthetic Wall Frame

Hello everyone!! Happy Awal Muharram to all Muslims out there. πŸ€—

Yesterday, I installed my new Bar Chair as I’m buying some little things for my 1st home. My tenant for past 7 years has moved out from the house. They said, they had been transferred to their hometown in Kedah. So, last Friday was the last day and they handed over the key to me.

I think it’s not a right time to sell the house yet, so I’m gonna rent it out with higher rental fee due to raises in OPR for the house loan. I did some calculation, to include all hidden charges like taxes, and maintenance, so I’m gonna have positive cash flow and not suffer later.

I will post out the make over for the house in next topic, supposely to go by today to measure the curtain and paint the furniture, but I fell sick and having terrible fever. Maybe in upcoming Saturday, if no plans.

So, this is the Bar Chair, and I really don’t know what the extra wood for.
Some extra wood
Tadaaaa…I have my existing craft stuffs, jute, ribbon, burlap etc
This is the wood. it looks white coz the covered it with plastic. I really dunno why. hahaha. So, when I opened the plastic, it looks like this.
I have random jute
some place ribbon n jute ribbon, I guess the name was πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
Fake pearl for decoration.
Just newly bought this at RM 2.40 @ecoshop.

In the making of Aesthetic Wall Frame πŸ˜ƒπŸ₯°

1. First, we need to do the tassle. It’s super easy. Just wrap your finger multiple times, I did here using 3middle fingers with 10 loops.
2. After done, put a pencil like this, and tie the tassle. Make sure it won’t open. I did glue the tassle, so it will keep in the place.
3. Then, I’m testing out using which ribbon/jute for the frame. Nah, it’s not nice using same color and pattern for the rope.
4. So, I’m ended up using the ribbon, with different colors (brown and cream) πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ
5. I glued all the ribbon onto the wood, and measure it accordingly so all gonna look symmetry for both side.
6. Tada!!! this is the final product. I’m gonna print out some quotes and glued it here. In my house, I have most quotes rather than photos. hahahaha. I cant wait to go and do some touch up on the interior.

So, that’s all my mini diy project for now. I can’t wait to do the make over for the house and rearrange everything. I’m budgeting everything to be rm3k, including water heater, ac, TV, curtain etc.

Till then, see you!! 😘

Pulse Grande Hotel Review πŸ₯°

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 πŸ˜ƒ
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. πŸ₯°
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 πŸ˜ƒ. 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 πŸ˜‚
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 πŸ˜ƒ
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. πŸ₯°
It has appropriate label on each of the switches.
The view from bedroom to the bathroom.
the view from the bathroom to the bedroom.
Separated shower, bowl and bathtub
I like the water pressure for the shower and love the built in rack.
The toiletries.
Shower gel and shampoo
The room has bathrobes and indoor shoes. I really love the bathrobes, it’s very much comfortable. πŸ₯°
The mirror.
Some refreshment…Coffee and Tea
I brought my fairy light each time I went to hotel. It gave me relaxing vibes and chill ambience πŸ₯°β€πŸ₯°

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 πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

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
