My Minimalist Lifestyle

Simple & Tasty Breakfast 😋

Hi Everyone!!

Today, I’m trying to make a fancy breakfast. It’s been so long since I watched it in YouTube. It just happened now that I’m having some time to try it on 😁

Firstly, I’m using my blender to make a circle shape on my bread. I saw some people are using glass but my glass is so small.

So, after making the shape it will be something like this. Next time I’m gonna try to make other shape 😃

Then, break an egg into the bread hole. I’m using 1 egg in each bread.

For those who love black pepper, you can put lil bit on the eggs. Those who love white pepper or other herb, you can choose your options here 😀

Okay, the remaining bread that I take out from the holes, I put “Kaya” jam. You may choose varies according to your likings. Some prefer Nutella , Strawberry jam and Marmalade.

I made 2 pieces of bread, so I put the jam in between and fried a lil on my pan to make it slightly crispy. I put lil bit of butter for the crunchiness and taste.

Slight press to make it it glued together 😀

Tadaaa!!! ❤️ Tasty and Simple breakfast done 🥰 Drink with Orange Juice.

Enjoy!! 😊

Love, Sofia

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

Jingle Jingle Hi-Tea @ICity Shah Alam 🎅

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!! 🤪 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 😂🥰

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. 🤪

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 🤪🤪

Dessert..I didn’t manage to taste this, as I’m full already..ayee

Turkey..I didn’t get a chance as I’m totally full for this 🫠

Ice cream…also didn’t manage to eat 🥲 too full with lamb n calamari

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.

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. 😝

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 🤤

Till then…to be continued..

Love, Sofia

Happy New Year 2024!!! Happy Me, New Me 😃

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 😃😃

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 😃

That’s All for Now..

Till then…to be continued…

Love, Sofia

Hey!! It’s been ages I didn’t updates 😃

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 🥰❤️🥰

My New Addiction…916 Gold Starbucks Beads 😃

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. ❤

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.

Heheheehe..thats all for this month…lets see what we will have for next month. I hope I can find the coffee grinder ❤🥰❤

till then, to be continued…

Love, Sofia

How do I get rid of my debt?

Hello everyone!!! Good Evening!

Just wanna share my experience on how am I from negative cashflow to positive cashflow and can save some for investment.

First thing first, I think from my previous post, I did mentioned the rules of 50:30:20. So, to spend on monthly expenses of 50% of your salary, 30% is for self reward and 20% for future investment. Yes, this is just a fundamental for you to force yourself to save some money.

What I did was, I played the percentage by lowering my daily expenses, and putting more percentage on my investment. From 50:30:20, I goes to 40:30:30.

I strive to get rid of my monthly commitment, lowering my self indulgence rewards and chip in more to investment. Now, I found something that I can combined my self indulgence rewards and my future investment together making it 60% out of total monthly salary. Wee!! find your self reward which can make investment too for future. ❤

till then..to be continued

Love, Sofia
