Things to Sort before Entering Year 2023

Hi Everyone..

For the past few months, I’ve been through a turbulent changes in my life. I’m started losing control of myself, my life and my surrounding. It’s a perfect time to slowing down all of the issues and take one by one step to solve it. To get back incharge of my ownself. So, here my longterm goal to achieve before entering Year 2023. Risk to be taken on each of stages, and consequences of each steps taken.

1. Financial base

To list down all monthly budget and to open relevant accounts for a long term savings goal. To track payment on each items such as Insurance, House payment, Credit Card payment etc.

2. Personal relationship

To put on hold for any toxic relationship or anything might leads for fights. I have tired of relationship, as you need to give some extra effort for them. For now, I will just put it on hold, and will check again if it’s really required to have any relationship or not. The risk assessment for a longterm goal will need to resume after the rest of item completed.

3. Work focus on longterm goal achievement

I guess, I had found a good environment workplace, yes it was. Unfortunately, it doesn’t gimme some sort of flexibility in a long run. So, I will need to find a good workplace environment with good colleague, and at the same time gimme some flexibility hours to sort my schedule. I’m loooking for work from home kind of company, so I balance out my life.

4. Family matters

Something that I’m trying to sort now. To make more time with family, to hangout and incharge on family matters. I’m kinda slighly off for pass few months, now it’s time to get incharge with them and spending more time with them.

5. Innerpeace Activities

Recently, I just figure out the company I work now having Zumba classes twice a week, I will start with that first. Later on, I think I will try to resume either my muaythai training or belly dance. Let’s see how.

So, okay. Those 5 things i need to sort before entering year 2023. I hope I can sort it, insya Allah πŸ™‚

Till then, to be continue…

Home Sweet Home. Virtual decoration for my 2nd home…😘

HeLL-oOooooOoooo everybody!!! How R yoOoouuu?? HoOoopeee everyone sounds and safe. 😘

Okay, today topic…is…let’s virtually design the minimalist house, virtually!! Hahaha..yes. Virtually, coz it’s seems loOooong way to goOoooOooo for my 2nd home to be completed, target to be complete by 2nd half of 2025 πŸ₯Ί

Let’s check this out….all these furniture I search by using actual shopping platform that available in Malaysia πŸ˜ƒπŸ₯°β€

The entrance

Entrance should be, as simple as possible and have multiple functions on each items.

The key holder. I want a simple holder like this, where I can hang keys and have some little space to put things.
The shoe bench, where I can store my shoes, and socks under the seat. It has a seat on top, where I can sit and wear my socks and shoes.
The console table and room divider on the same furniture. Okay, my console table will be as simple as this, where I can put 1 bowl, or tray to keep my wallet from going outside. At same time, can be a divider between the entrance and living room. Giving lil privacy to the living room πŸ₯°

The Living Room

I will keep it as simple as possible, as my house will be small…

A long sofa, either 3 or 4 seaters, and leather materials as its easy to wash n maintain, plus not easily to get smell πŸ˜ƒ
A lazy chair, where I can relax, which kinda match with my main sofa…
The TV, speaker and cabinet. I will have a simple cabinet, but yet elegant which match with the dining storage later. Mounted TV and some simple speaker will be great.
A very simple carpet, I dont like too many design n colors which will make me vomit.
A simple wall decoration…hanging in middle of the living room..
Irregular coffee table…πŸ˜ƒ
And some simple side table, where there is a storage that I can keep my throws and blankets πŸ₯°

The Dining Room

A very simple dining room too…😘

Okay, I dont need a very big dining room. A simple dining table of four like this, which gimme flexibility to seat on, either normal chair, or bench like this..
Okay, on the table, I would love to keep salt and pepper like this kind of shapes. Simple and elegant shapes.
Under the dining table set, I will have this bamboo carpet. I can’t step on cool floor, so I will love it to have some kind of carpet to feel cozy πŸ™‚
Okay, I will have my coffee machine on top of this kind of storage table. I like it to be thin, and yet have some storage where I can keep my toaster, my blender or fruit juice machine. This storage will be located against the wall near to my dining table.
On top of the dining storage cabinet, I will have a big mirror like this, to give “some space” for the small apartment πŸ˜ƒ
A lovely coffee machine 😍 I definitely will need this. I dont really like the normal powder coffee, I love the fresh grinded coffee. Coffee lover in the house ❀

The Kitchen

For kitchen, a simple kitchen cabinet, without handles. Handles can trap dust, so the handle-less cabinet will be a furrrpecct match for me.

Steel cutting board. I used to love wooden cutting board, but after I saw how mould it can be from my mom’s house, I don’t want it now πŸ˜‚πŸ˜… This can function for flour kneading too..
A sink, where I can have multiple function. Can use to wash vegetables and fruits like this.
Induction stove, as I think Im a person who can easily set a fire at home. Haha. Plus, most of my pot will be a cute pot, which will get burn easily the bottom if i use normal stove with fire. Lol
Of course, a carpet every space in the house. I can’t have a sticky floor πŸ˜ƒ
Okay, the bin. I will have covered bin something like this. Not too big, and not too small where I can throw it on a daily basis.

The bedroom

For bedroom, I will love to have some space on the wall where can act as my side table. I need to minimize the furniture and design it smartly, as my bedroom will be very small πŸ˜‚

A smart wall which act as my side table, and as my bed’s header too. I will keep my clock alarm here πŸ˜ƒ
My bed’s frame will be really simple like this, but not my mattress, pillow and duvet. Hahaha..those fabric need to be chosen very carefully, need to be very comfortable and nice to see πŸ˜ƒ I will have separate post for those fabrics. Lol
Okay, I don’t really like bed’s header, coz it doesn’t serve any kind of purpose. I just need, some space of the wall, to put my alarm and this kind of pillow as my bed’s header. πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ
Last, but not least…my wardrobe which has function as a big mirror as well. So, i don’t need any other space for my full body mirror.
Against the masterbedroom’s big window, I will have this bench where I can sit on top, and have some storage underneath πŸ₯°
Okay, another an unusual things i would love to have in my room is, the fireplace simulation. It can be my sleeping light and perhaps I could find some item which has function as my humidifer as well. Its a good idea, but let’s see if this is also a humidifer or not. If yes, then its a great buy which serve 2 functions at once. πŸ˜ƒ

The bathroom

I really love big mirrors. So, in the bathroom I will find this kind of furniture. It can be mirror, storage and can hang face towel as well. πŸ₯°
Shower…shower…shower….i really love shower, compared to bath tub. Bath tub is good, but not all the time. Shower is on the go, and kinda like a rain for me. A big showet head is awesome, and of course with water heater. I like it to be black and matte, as the normal silver can easily rusted.
The shower floor, I will love to have wooden floor like this, so it won’t be that slippery.

Okay, that’s all for now…other things like mattress, pillow, throw, lamp nights, swicthes, curtain etc not cover in this post. I’m gonna have a separate topics on that πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜€πŸ™‚

Till then…to be continued…

My “kick off” lift weight plan for Month 1, 2 and 3 πŸ™‚

Heyyy everybody!!! How are you doing? Hope you are all fine. πŸ™‚

So, it’s been a month that I’m preparing myself to lift weight again. I started with slow cardio such as belly dance and other slow dance, frequency 3-4 x per day. Then after 2 weeks, Im adding some slow body combat exercise. You will need to know how comfortable your body to add-on the exercises. If you think it’s too intense, try to use slow video and lesser the frequency. So, for me it took me 2 weeks to start my bodycombat exercise (not to intense).

Before that, I have my own equipment for my exercises as below. I have:

  1. A pair 5.0kg plates
  2. A pair 2.5kg plates
  3. A pair 2.0kg plates
  4. A pair 1.75kg plates
  5. A pair 4lb dumbell
  6. Barbell
  7. Step
  8. Small ball – unsure how many grams..i quess about 300gram.

Below are my plan to kick start lifting weight again.

My schedule for month 1:

  1. 1st & 2nd weeks – slow cardio (ie: belly dance, slow zumba dance etc) with frequency 3-4x per week, for 30min session.
  2. 3rd weeks – replacing cardio with slow bodycombat with frequency 3-4x per week, for 30min session.
  3. 4th weeks – adding bodypump with frequency 1-2x per week, for 45min session. [Bodycombat cardio 3-4x + Bodypump 1-2x].

My schedule for month 2:

  1. 5th weeks – to reduce Bodycombat cardio 2-3x, Bodypump 1-2x and adding Yoga 1-2x, but to increase the duration from 45min to 1hour.
  2. 6th – 8th weeks – to maintain, and keep up 6x healthy meals and snacks. By this 6th weeks, I usually will try to keep an eye on my calorie intake – check on my next post on food preparing πŸ˜‰

My schedule for month 3:

  1. 9th – 10th weeks – to fix 7-8 hours daily sleep, prep meals and to continue exercise.
  2. 11th – 12th weeks – repeat and adding some more weight for strength.

Okay guys, I think that’s all I can think off right now. See you later in next post regarding the prep meal, you’ll πŸ˜‰

Happy New Year 2022 πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³

Hi Everyone!! Happy New Year 2022 to all of you!

This going to be my 1st post in 2022.

My resolution for this Year 2022 is to reduce buying unnecessary things, and recycle whatever that I can recycle. Keep things simple.

Im still struggling on how to minimize my stuff, especially wardrobe. Since I got lot of empty boxes, so I was thinking my 1st project in this Year 2022 is to make DIY undergarments drawer organizer.

Here below are some ideas I’ve been looking through the internet…but I’m going to create my own organizer using things that I have.

Stay tune, guys!! And stay safe!

Happy New Year πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³

I’m wishing you showered with blessed for this year.
