Hello everyone!! Happy Awal Muharram to all Muslims out there. 🤗
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 woodTadaaaa…I have my existing craft stuffs, jute, ribbon, burlap etcThis 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 jutesome place ribbon n jute ribbon, I guess the name was 🤷♀️Fake pearl for decoration.Just newly bought this at RM 2.40 @ecoshop.
In the making of Aesthetic Wall Frame 😃🥰
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) 😃😃😃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.
Hola!!! cómo estás? How are you? Hope you are all in good health, insya Allah 🥰
Today, I wanna share with you, the changes on myself after being a minimalist since 2018, so here we go…
1. Starts love being at home more than outside – busy cooking, clothes laundering, room cleaning, organizing clothes etc
It started from the pandemic, when everyone been lockdown and be at home 24/7. I spend most of my time, cooking a nutritious food, spending time doing my laundry and folding my clothes right after dried, then straight keep it in my wardrobe. I also, found myself at home, busy wiping dust in my room, sweeping the floor and also maintaining my bedsheets, pillow etc. I’d found myself, always decluttering my wardrobe, until I have few empty hanger. Im really excited achieving this and I feel happy and self-content on this changes on me, for over 4 years being a Minimalist ❤🥰❤
Making a simple and nutritious big breakfast. I eat the fruit first, before others. So, stomach will full of fiber first as it’s good for digestion system.I became addicted to Cleaning and Organizing stuffs 😃
2. Earning some extra cash money – selling unused items to buy gold
Okay, another thing I sort of knowing Im align with Minimalist is that, I earn some cash money from decluttering my unused items!! 😃
Yes! You hear it right! Those unused items, I took pictures and sell in online. Hahaha!! Sound funny, but hey!! I got 1 gold ring with the accumulated money I sold!! So, those unused items, you may donate if you want, or just resell it!! Sell it with cheap price, coz in the end, you won’t use it too, and its kinda some sort of charity coz you sell it cheap. But, in return, I got 1 ring gold!!! Hahaha! I’m proud of it, Alhamdulillah 🥰
Some Betta Fish set that I no longer use. Total cost spend about RM 100++, but I sell it for RM 35, the guy asked for RM 30, I just accepted it. So, it’s somehow doing charity + get some money too 😃😃😃
3. Having more extra time, as reducing time in maintaining daily routine – laundry, wiping/cleaning room
Okay next thing is, I’m having more extra time for myself as my things had reduced for clean up. My weekly dirty clothes reducing too, as before being a Minimalist my weekly dirty clothes usually pile up full or more than 1 big basket. But now, I have not reach 1 normal basket for 1 week clothes. Then, washing and drying clothes time reduced as well because I don’t have much clothes to wash. Extra those time I have, I will spend by folding the dried clothes and put it into my wardrobe nicely. It looks nice in the wardrobe too, as less clothes need to be displayed and can put it into a proper hanger.
Im happy to see more hangers than clothes in my wardrobe 🥰
It was easy to maintain my room now, as more of stuffs are gone and only left empty floors. I love it so much, as it was easy for me to sweep and wipe my floor. Haha!! I did wipe my floors by hand, and Im not using mop 😃
I have more time to spend vacuuming my bed. Yes! I vacuum my mattress, quilt and pillow. Haha!! Surprisingly, there are some dust too, eventhough its under the bedsheet, and pillowsheet. So, it is recommended to either vacuum, or hang those under the sunlight 🥰
Vacuuming the mattress, quilt and pillow biweekly basis 😀
4. Having more space and my room looks cleaner most of time – in wardrobe and room
Yes, absolutely. When I let go most of my things, absolutely I will have more spaces. I love and admiring empty spaces more than spaces with lot of unwanted stuffs. I had once, stayed alone in my previous home, and when my parents came over, my mom always complaining that why my home is “Too Empty”? Hahaha. I enjoy less stuff most of the time coz it is easy for maintaining and cleaning job 😃🥰
A clean floor, if I have my own new house I will have a robot to keep it clean most of times. Little helper required 😍
5. I’m now addicted to Organizer – Organizer is More than my Stuff
I’m now addicted to Organizing Videos, Organizing trick and tips and busy organizing everything including my medicine, car, clothes and stocks.
Yes, this is absolutely time reducing to find things in my room. I don’t frequently changing my organization location, and I love to maintain my organization time by time. Meaning to say, I love maintaining my organizing stuff, especially my stocks such as Shampoo, Body Gel, Toothbrush, Toothpaste etc.
My beauty and cleaning stocks, I organized it into 2 boxes, and kept it in my wardrobe, on top shelf 😃Inside the wardrobe and on top of the shelf 🥰Another example, is my First Aid. I keep all medicine in this kit, so I no longer need to find plaster under drawer, oitment in wardrobe etc. Everything will be in this First Aid box. 🥰
Hi everyone. Happy Monday. Just to share how usually I replace from original pot into new home for my baby cactus.
All you need to have is the pot, multipurpose soil, cactus soil, mini shovel, and cactus fertilizer.First thing, mix the Multipurpose soil and Cactus soil. I do ratio 50:50.
1. Put the mixture soil into the pot.
2. Make some hole with mini shovel in the center of the soil.
3. Take out the baby cactus from the original pot.
4. Put the cactus into the hole, then cover the remaining soil with mini shovel.
5. Tada!! You have transfer your cactus into a new ‘Home’ 🥰
Hye Everyone 😇 Happy Friyay, guys! Hope you are all in great vibes. 🥰
Today, Im gonna share how I combined both my hobbies into something new makeover. Hahahaha!!! Yes!! I’M DECLUTTERING WHILE MAKING DO IT YOURSELF PROJECT DECORATION!! 😆
Okay, first thing first, I need to get rid/declutter my previous business items like ribbon, sponge, burlap etc right. So, I was thinking. My dustbin is so dull, and it always flew away whenever there are heavy thrash inside because the dustbin is too light in weight.
So, I decided to make some DIY Project, to decorate my dustbin. Yay!!! 🥰
My Dustbin before the decoration 😕
All You Need to Have….
These are the items needed, plus Jute rope and emptybox. Missing in the photo 😌Tadaaa!!! After the decoration 😇
Let’s Do It! 🥰❤🥰
1. First of all, trace the bottom Dustbin onto the empty box like below picture 👇
2. Then, cut the lines. Glue the circle box with Burlap, and keep the Burlap 1 inch around the circle box to glue later.
3. Put the Jute rope onto the circle box and glued with glue gun. Then turn circle the jute rope and repeating the process until finished.
4. Glue the circle box onto the bottom of the Dustbin. Then, continue turn circle the jute until finished.
5. When the jute finished, I continue by taking out jute from bigger size. Hahaha..just using whatever I have 😉
6. Then, I glued the Burlap and Jute with Glue Gun. Kinda much I needed for the Glue Gun.
7. Then, I take out and open my new sponge for the ruffle. Haha 😃
8. For ribbon, I just simply cut n paste with Glue Gun. You can fold nicely, but I like easiest way and look neat 😃😜. Check this out 👇
9. After cut, paste, cut, paste and cut paste, the final product will be…..TaaaaDaaa 👇!! 🥰
Good afternoon everyone!! Its Thursday, guys!! 1 day to goo…before we meet weekend again!! Weehooo!!! 🥰
Well, I just want to share with you what are my hobbies as a minimalist, to feel content and keep clutters away in a better way. ❤
So, here we go…😉
1. Making A DIY project.
As I being a minimalist, my characters are slowly change. I spend most of my time sitting home, and maintaining my things at home. One of my fav things to do is, to redesign, and reuse existing things I have. I have Burlap, Ribbons, Wrapping papers, Sponges etc at home, from my previous business plan. Why am I buying these stuff? Well, I thought when pandemic happened, I will loose my job. However, it turn out that I got more job offers. Alhamdulillah 🥰, so I have never starts my business. So, here all are the stuff,s that I need to get rid by making a D.I.Y stuff ❤🥰❤
Before decorating my dustbin 😕After decorating my dustbin 🥰
2. Strolling the park.
Another what I like to do is strolling the park. I love nature so much, especially forest. It calms me when I have anxiety or problems. To go forest alone, is very risky. So, I choose to stroll the park whichever has little/mini forest nearby 🥰
I climbed up 3rd floor of the watch tower. Its so relaxing. Next time, Im gonna bring hot tea/black coffee with me 😃
3. Explore new recipe in kitchen.
I love exploring new recipes on internet. First trial, I will try the original recipes, then for 2nd and 3rd trial I will modify the recipes, and jot it down all the modification I made. 🥰 i love creating my very own recipes according to my own taste bud. ❤
I cut the dumpling’s skin into half, coz its too big. I cut into small bite sizes 😃🥰
4. Decluttering own room/space.
Well, this is like a ‘ritual routine’ for me 😅. Most of time, I will take a plastic bag and walk around the room, stand by if I can throw anything into it 😂. Clearing out my wardrobe, my workspace, my bathroom etc..and Im really enjoying it. I enjoy clearing my room, clean and tidy my space area 🥰.
Make up my bed every morning is my mandatory ‘ritual routine’ 😂
5. Sell off unwanted items.
Yes!!! This is sooo cool. Previously, I just throw every of my unwanted items. But now, thanks to my Mr Love, he suggested to sell it off. Since I started, I think in end october or early november, I made around RM250 of my unwanted items and plus ++ I cleared my space. Weeee!!!!~~ Its fabulous 🥰🥰🥰
Someone gonna pick these from my room. I have 3 aquarium 😂 another one to let it go..🥰
Okay guys, I think thats all for now. Im sharing with you what I usually do to declutter my things, and keep myself content ❤🥰
Hey everybody! Good morning! How are you doing?? Hope you are happy and blessed with your family and friends.
It’s been a lot of things running through my mind lately. A lot of things need to sort and plan. I didn’t know where to start. So, I went for a long walk to chill and relax.
Last Saturday, I went to Taman Tasik Metropolitan, Kepong. Previously, the name waa Taman Layang-Layang. They do some renovation and change the name, perhaps to make it sounds more commercialised? 😃
So here we go…check these out some photos that I managed to snap 😀
It looks like photo frame right…nice 😃Previously, they don’t have this..they just built it now..Okay, you can actually rent bicycle here. They have variety of bicycles to choose. 😉Some view from the back of the lake…it was really a huge lake to chill 🥰Some water fountain and sunshine…I love the ambience 🥰There is one steep hills to climb up…And on top of the hills, got 2 of watch towers…I’d found a quiet place to chill…next time I will bring tea or black coffee to chill..🥰The other point of view…Thinking to draft plans, but end up just chilling..heheStairs that you need to climb up..
Okay, after went for a long morning walk, I went to the mall, named Melawati Mall. Having Thailand cuisine for my lunch. The restaurant is Boat Noodles ❤
These are stack noodles. There is not much inside the bowl – Small portion. I ordered 6, I guess next time just to order 4, plus the dessert. They have nice steam bread with kaya sauce. Next time, Im gonna order those.My fav if I come here..Thailand Matcha Tea
Then, I went home. This is so called my ‘me time’. 🥰
Hello everyone!! Good Friday! How are you doing? Hope everyone in a good health 😊
Today, I’m gonna start a serious health food intake. Seems, there are few years to go, to enter 40s, I started feel conscious about what am I eating. Let’s check below list, on the initial habits that we need to look into.
5 habits to start healthy lifestyle in 2022
1. Drink a lot of plain water
It is very, very important to drink a lot of plain water. It helps our body to remove excess waste. This also keeps our body from dehydrated.
How to start: Buy a cute big bottle that you love, and bring it along to office, exercise, shopping or whenever you go. Make it a habit to bring water bottle everywhere you go. If you are too lazy or shy to bring a big bottle, you can bring flask to office. Im using hot flask to put any kind of drinks, my hot/cold water, tea etc. So, no one knows whats inside. But, you will need to keep on fill-in the water about 3-4 times, daily 😅
My multipurpose flask water 🤭
2. Starts walking instead of driving
Keep your body moving, any kind of movement either dancing, walking, jogging. This is some sort of exercise too.
How to start: When you go to office, try to walk instead of driving a car. If you have public transport to your office, use public transport. Like me, I have an option either to drive or to use public transport. I choose to use public transport. Try to download steps apps, and you will be surprise how much you had to walk daily to/from office. Its been once, I walked 1 round at the huge lake nearby to my house, it turn out the steps not exceeded the daily steps i took to the office 😂 it seems i walk daily to office, more than 1 huge lake. 😃
3. Eat a clean food and right portion
Okay, this is very tough. Sometimes, you just don’t have much time to cook n prep meal, and sometimes you just not in the mood to cook. The rule is simple, you just need to eat quarter vegie, quarter fruits, quarter for meats and quarter carbs.
Source: Google
How to start: Eat varieties but in right portion. Like me, I don’t have much time to cook daily, so sometimes I just bring Quinoa to my office and buy chicken, vegie at the nearby food truck. Before eat, you will need to know what available food categories. They consists of Protein, Carbohydrate, Fibers, Fats dan Dairy. For dairy consumption, you will need to check yourself if you are a type that can eat dairy product or can’t. For me, I can eat it but I will gain more weight with dairy products 😀 You need to understand your own body first before plan out your meal. It took try and error method for me, as I’m not a doctor 😃 If you have option to check with dietitian, that will be the best.
Back to my stories, yes I bring Quinoa to office, and buy chicken/fish, vegie and fruits at the nearby food truck. Sometimes, i just bought Sandwiches that already have fish, bread and vegie. Easiest and fastest 😂😅

4. Slot some outdoor activities
This a bit tough to do, as Im still working 9-6 for the whole weekdays in office, and get easily tired during weekend.
How to start: I keep 1 day of weekend to rest and the other 1 day out. The resting day, normally I will do laundry, clean up room, bed etc as long as its indoor. For another day outdoor activities like, washing car, morning walk and soon I will slot time for hiking. Yay!! Its been awhile Im not hiking, probably in November Im gonna start back my hiking hobby with my bestie 🥰
5. Stock more fruits and vegetable
Yes, just in case if you keep on feeling hungry, stock with lots of vegetables and fruits, and don’t forget nuts too. Nuts are some sort of good fat such as almond, walnut, sunflower seed etc.
How to start: Buy a pack of mixed nuts and dried fruits, and pack into small container and bring it to office. I will update my snack stack container soon..❤
Heyyy everybody!!! How are you doing? Hope you are all fine. 🙂
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:
A pair 5.0kg plates
A pair 2.5kg plates
A pair 2.0kg plates
A pair 1.75kg plates
A pair 4lb dumbell
Barbell
Step
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:
1st & 2nd weeks – slow cardio (ie: belly dance, slow zumba dance etc) with frequency 3-4x per week, for 30min session.
3rd weeks – replacing cardio with slow bodycombat with frequency 3-4x per week, for 30min session.
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:
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.
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 😉
My schedule for month 3:
9th – 10th weeks – to fix 7-8 hours daily sleep, prep meals and to continue exercise.
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 😉
Hye, so last week I went to Genting Highland. Didn’t go for cable car, just chilling and relaxing 🥳
The entrance
Well, last time when I went there before the pandemic, it was an old resort (not well maintained). However, when I went there last week, I can see some changes and differences, and there were also some on going renovation in progress. I think it’s pretty nice, open concept resorts. Check this out..
The lobby…Kiosk..Im not sure what was this, something like glass house? Its still in progress..The elevators..It looks like hydrophonic plants..still in progress..This is steamboat restaurant..
What I like about is…the cafe 😍
Okay, I think the rest pretty normal, just the cafe looks a bit luxury and chilling 😍
They have an open concept cafe, you can seat whenever you want. I love the music they played, it reminds me of the gym I used to go before. Check these out…
Open view, nearby the pool side..The drinks they offered 🥰Muffin a bit dry…but still fine..The view from inside of the cafe..there is bar outside, beside the pool. I like the concept, if you wanna feel cozy and warm cafe, you can seat inside. If you wanna have some fun, the bar is outside..its versatile concept.View from the cafe entrance..They have some machines…that you can play..The pool view at night..
Okay, enough with the lobby, cafe etc, we go to the room…Zoom In…
The hallway..pretty old school…but I think they will change it later..renew the look..
What I like bout this resort is that…it has nostalgia memories when me and my siblings were kids. We came here most of the weekend 🥰❤
There were 2 rooms…check these out…
1st room….master bedroom2nd room..twin bedroomLiving room…dining room and kitchenWashroom..
Breakfast at the balcony….
Okay, that’s pretty much about the resort..we enjoyed it 🥰
HeLLooOoo everyone!! What’s up? It’s finally here!! So called – My organizing “gadget”…haha..🥰
So, I bought 3 different sizes of Rattan Box storage, to keep my blankets and other stuffs like my hairband, hair clip, sleeping mask, detox patches etc.
Tadaa!!! Cute rattan storage in different sizes – S, M and L 🥰
The reason I don’t buy big basket for my blankets, is that because Im living in a small room – to keep virtual clutters away 😃
Oh, and another things, the grey storage is for my undergarments. I like it to be well organize, soothing in my eyes 😍
The other Organizing “Gadget” I have in my room 😃
1. The Square Storage Box (with zip on top and side) – for Towels and Bedsheets2. Medicine Kit – all first aid medicine including Covid-19 swab test 😃3. Make Up storage – unfortunately, I don’t have much make up. Mostly for my skin care serum, hair serum, backup Parfum, Massage Oil, body lotion, hand lotion, nail clipper, haircomb, contact lens casing etc 🥰4. Clothes Dust Cover – other than Virtual Clutters free, this cover helps to keep away the dust in wardrobe. Coz, I noticed there are dust at the bottom of the wardrobe and I need to clean it, weekly 🤪5. Parfum and pins storage – Okay, I have lot of parfums, but these 2 are the most often I used. Easily to pickup and put back, to minimizing the virtual clutters and as a deco too. 😃6. The humidifier essential oil – Okay, okay, parfum freak in the house..whoott whoot!! 😚 So, I have my fav flavours which I often used – Hotel version: Banyan Tree, Grand Hyatt, Westin, and Hilton and typical essential: Orchid and Lavendar flavour. I do have more such as peppermint, Oranges etc, but I keep it away in wardrobe to avoid virtual clutters. ☺7. From the back, Hotel version : Hilton hotel, Westin hotel, Grand Hyatt hotel, Banyan Tree hotel. Orchid. From the front: Lavendar.
Crystal Collections: To Re-Use?
Okay, Im pretty okay for the rest, there is only something I don’t find the purpose to be displayed on my table – My Crystal Collections.
Well, I used to put some essential oil onto it, coz I thought to make it as a crystal diffuser. But it turn out, not so good compared to wood, plus my crystal out of shapes and colors 🥲
I’m thinking to re-use it for something better and useful, if you have any good idea, you can comment below, thanks 😉
It looks horrible in a cup..I think, some has changed color and shapes. I used to have emerald green color, but now its gone 😭
