How are you? Hope everyone is in good health and conditions.
Since 2018, I’ve started my journey as minimalist. Now, at the end of 2025, I’m heading to back to a basic lifestyle, reducing expenses and living an optimum lifestyle.
I try to make something useful from every container, box, bottle and reuse it for other purposes. One of it was eggs container which I feel is very useful and filled my needs.
Living in a small home in town, had opened my eyes to cut some expenses, and I started from my groceries.
Making a seedling pot from eggs container 🪴
1. Cut into 2 for the normal eggs container and put the cover under the eggs container as per in the photo.2. Make a little hole on each of the bottom for the eggs container as per in the photo above. You can cut a little bit with a scissor/blade and use pencil/chopstick to make a small round hole.3. Put 2/3 of mixed soil into the container like this and put each of the containers with seeds, onions, and ginger (whatever you want). I’m using chilli, tomato, ginger, and garlic as these are normally I use for cooking.4. Then, cover the rest of the container with the same mixed soil and water it.5. This photo is after 5 days I’m watering it. As for now, I can see garlic and tomato started sprouting from the seeds. Can’t wait to see the rest soon 🥰❤️
If you have a landed property, it will be awesome for this activity. Please pray for me to have landed property soon, so I can make more diy project to recycle things I have at my home. 😇
It has a variety of meanings for many people. But for me, money is just a tool to satisfy our needs and wants. My retirement goal is to stay away as far as I can from something that required money. You need to ask yourself, what money can satisfy your needs and wants? To me, my need is food. I don’t buy much clothes. I don’t buy much shoes, or bags. It’s foods, water bill, electricity bills, internet bills and a house I can call a home.
I want to retire earlier than compulsory age. I want to have a living where I don’t need to worry about bills, mortgages, and foods. my focus for retirement is to go back to basic life and needs. I want to be away from massive traffic jammed. I want to be away from toxic circle friends and families. I just want to be alive and enjoying each my day n seconds, glorifying life surrounding me. I had enough of this fake world and getting back to real purpose or living.
I set my target, to retire in the next 10 years, insya Allah.
Okay, I just wanna share the best healing spot in Ulu Langat that I went 2 weeks ago.
So, my brain is piled up with a lot of workload and it’s time to release it. Me and my colleague, we decided to go to waterfall and having lunch at nearby restaurant. The restaurant name is Terra Pong Restaurant which indirectly means, Floating Restaurant. The food is Thai Muslim food, very delicious and you are required to book the place at least 24hours before arrival. I’m kind like how the way they manage the order, you book through their website food you want to order then you gotta pay 50% from the total amount, and pay another 50% when u finish eating at the restaurant. It’s been before pandemic that I want to come, and let’s check it out.
So, the building is basically a traditional art, not really sure from Malaysia or Thailand itself. There are huge parking lot, accommodate prayer room for muslim (Surau) and washroom. Let’s check it out!!
We came too early that the waterfall gate is close and need to wait like 20 minutes before the guy came. It cost RM2 per person, and parking so far its free. We paid at the entrance and walk inside the forest.When u walk in, there is some animal statue, these are the local animals that usually can be found in our forest. The entrance point where the track begin. Okay, if you want to go healing with a lot of stuff, I don’t recommend this place as It has a lot of steps. If you wanna come, it’s better to have a backpack style. easier for you to climb up the stepsAfter we hike about 10minutes, this is the 1st waterfall, and if there are more waterfall up there, but we just hike as long as we can see the waterfall. 😃 exhausted lolI brought my own milk tea “Teh Tarik” and feel gorgeous 😍 We ate “Nasi Lemak” and some “Kuih” I bought near to my home. We just bring ready made food just buy from nearby stall coz only me and 1 of my colleague. Oh!! btw, there are fishes in the water and we feed with our “Kuih”. I didn’t manage to get photo coz my phone was in my beg and too lazy to take it out. lol
After about 4 hours of spending time chit chat, bathe and eating, then we go to the restaurant we book a day before. Warning!!! You really need to book a day before, if not they won’t entertain you, or your food will arrive very late.
So it took 24 minutes from the waterfall to the restaurant. Oh! btw, the route is not easy access as you will require transport like renting a car and driving a village route.
24 minutes drive the village route by car
The restaurant is very near to the junction, so be careful when u want to enter the parking area. I missed the restaurant and make a U-turn at the nearby shops 😃
The entrance and restaurant nameWhen you enter, the washroom and prayer room (Surau) was on your right. This is the hallway to washroom and prayer room (Surau)Okay, so here is the washroom and place to take ablutionThe “Surau” entranceInside the “Surau”. When I enter, I feel like I’m in 80s Era 😃 remind me of my grandparents’ house I think this is smoking area..because it’s away from the restaurant.Shoe rack, but nobody put their shoe on it including me 😃This hallway is from the washroom n “Surau” to the restaurant eating areaOur reserved table 🥰 When u enter the restaurant, just go to the cashier and tell them your reservation nameTo get the food, you just ask the receptionist at the payment counter to serve you. I ordered “Ikan masak 3 rasa” with Thai Tomyam and Kailan Vegie “Sayur Kailan ikan masin”. The food is marvelous. I ordered mocha ice and my colleague ordered Ice lemon tea. I think it will be very nice if they serve dessert, but when I look into the menu, couldn’t find it.this is kinda like stage, I think those who want to accommodate wedding ceremony, can do it here.Beautiful right, so the restaurant is on the huge lake and it’s floating. Not exactly floating la, but looks like it’s floating. hahahaNot sure what is this, maybe for baby to take a nap.Oh yes!! You can feed the fishes there and they sell it about RM5 for 1 container like this. You can pay at the counter.Before heading to home, I take a glance of the restaurant. Beautiful, absolutely stunning 😍 ❤️
So…will come back to the restaurant??
Absolutely yes!! I will definitely come again and enjoy the food and view here. Insya Allah.
It’s just the beginning of Year, but I felt 🤪😵💫 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.
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 😃😃
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 😃:
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 fiancé, as he is the only person who supports me to buy and collect gold after my trauma from my previous relationship. 🥰
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 😃
Wollaa…what’s up, Everybody? It’s been ages I didn’t update my blog. Sorry guys, been really busy these days, weeks, months and about a year. haha!! 😃
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 🥰❤️🥰
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. 🥰
I think I’m gonna start coffee and food collection since I love coffee and Im foodie… hahaha!! 😃😂
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!!! ❤🌹🔥
Can’t wait for my next adventure…looking forward for more cute 916 gold Pandora beads for future..weee!!! 🥰
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. 🥰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 ❤🥰❤
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 🥰❤🥰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!! 😃😃😃There is some info regarding the fish naming..I dont bother those..lolThe 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..lolSo, 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!! LOLOkay, 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 niceI 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..
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. 😃
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 😀
So, check these out the differences before I took over and after I took over the house 😃🥰😃
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…🥰
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 😃
Some other things I snap photo before I went back home last Saturday 😃🥰😃
I still need 2 more curtains..lolThe 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..LOLTadaa ❤❤❤
Okay, I will snap the rest pending things and post in later…
