achievement – My Minimalist Lifestyle

New Chapter of My Life 😍

Hello friends!

Wow, it’s been 10 months since I updated my blog due to workload and stress. Finally, I’m freedom from Corporate World! haha, temporarily 😃

I was thinking, due to economy not stable etc, our daily expensive increase significantly lately. I know I need to do some side income, because daily life these days becoming soo expensive. I’m still survive, because of my minimalist living. But I want more than enough so that I can help those who need it, especially my families.

I’ve seen in front of my eyes how people who used to have millions in their account on surviving mode now. In my country, Malaysia, most people are working in Corporate Company, having EPF (Employees Provident Fund) saved monthly with free contributions from employer, monthly. But, I saw when they reached 55 years old and finished their saving money even before they reached 60. It’s stipulated in my mind that I still need to work even though I reached a mature age of 55 years old to take out my money.

Here is the thing on what usually happened, when someone reached 55 years old, most scammer can “smell” the new money. So, mostly people will fall for scammers. Well, I don’t wanna be such. I wanna build my own business right now, so by 55 years old, it can run itself with minimal supervision.

If you wanna get into business in Malaysia, you need to register SSM (Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia) and choose an appropriate type of business. Well, it was not a smooth process for me, but eventually I managed to get my SSM certificate. Yay!!

So, here we go, bismillah to start my business.

pssstt, well, I had eventually finished renovating my new home. Will share in the next blog on my new renovated home and share some tips on how to manage new house renovation from the beginning. 🥰

till then, to be continued…

p/s: Notes to my corporate world: 😝

New Home 🥰

Alhamdulillah, praise to Allah SWT that I finally settled down with the new home. Syukran.

Hello, everyone!! It’s quite some time I’m away as I’m busy with job and housing stuff.

Phew, finally, I managed to settle down and shifted some of my stuff over to the new house.

It requires a lot of planning and efforts. Thank you to those who always support me behind my back. Without all of you, I won’t be able to do it by myself alone.

Check this out the bare unit, yet to complete. Insya Allah will be completed by end of December 2024 🥰

Balcony, yes, it’s the French Balcony. 😂 Ideally, I don’t have Balcony, just sliding doors 😝

View from Living Room, for kitchen and entrance.

Kitchen is too small, I did hack n levelling the yard to make it look bigger. 🤪

Okay, the idea of this house is dual key, but as I will stay here so I will make a laundry room for this space. 🥰

So many defects, it took around 3 months to finished all the major defects. This is the masterbedroom toilet.

That’s all for now, I will report the after renovation when everything completed.

Can’t wait 😁

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!!!

The Art of Balancing My Needs and My Wants. hahahaha 😈

Helloww you all!! How are u doing? Well, I’m busy counting and balancing my needs and my wants. Hahaha. You wanna know how? Let’s check it out..

Okay, I got some golds jewelry where I kept in the bank. So, from the total amout of the gold, bank will give me 80% cash. To be honest with you, if you don’t have any necessity, don’t put your gold jewelry in the bank, coz you need to pay some “upah” to keep the jewelry. The definition of “upah” is similar like interest, but very low in amount. Well, I don’t see any difference between upah and interest. 🤷‍♀️

So, it happens again, my credit card piled up reach to its limit. So now, I’m struggling to settle of any interest related to bank. For houses, can’t do anything about it as OPR has increased tremendously for past years. I was thinking to let go one of my house, but when I saw the view is spectacular, I think I will just rent it out first. 😃

I fell in love with the view of this house, so I bought it when im 27 years old. People are busy marrying at my age that time, but I’m busy buying property 😗

Okay, back to my story. So, I was thinking, for the next salary I’m gonna take all my jewelry in the banks, and I’m gonna buy my target bangle. The rest, I’m gonna sell it and pay off the debt. Coz, I need to spend some money for the house, to make over and rent it out again. As I told you from previous post, the tenant has move out from my house and went back to their hometown in Kedah.

Well, I think this is the best way, to reduce the bank’s interest, to get my aim bangle and as well to pay off some debts. To be honest, I think buying property is really troublesome 😂. I need to take out some money from my own pocket for repair and make over it. I next rental fee, I will need to keep some extra, so I won’t spend from my own pocket anymore.

I think that is all for now, to be continued

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 🙂

Till then, to be continue…

Tiktok…tiktok…3months before 2023…

Hi everyone! Good Friday, everyone! How are you, guys? Hope you are all well and sound.

We are entering October in 2022 now, just 3 months left before we enter 2023. How are you feeling about it? Feeling Excited? Nervous? Happy? Or Sad? Well…well…well..let’s check ourselves goals, either is it has been achieved? Or not yet to achieve? Or Partially achieve?

Well, I have “unlock” some items in 2022. Alhamdulillah. Just, to loose weight goal is still pending. Hahahahaha 😂

Looking back at my post in October 2021 with title “It’s Time to Plan Out for 2022 🥳”, I have achieved some of the things. Weehuu!! 🥳🥳🥳

1. 100% Financial Freedom

Okay, I almost have Financial Freedom, but unfortunately my credit card pile up again. It seems impossible to live without credit card these days because everything goes cashless. I tried to open up a better account for this purpose in 2023, to replace credit card and use more debit card.

First thing, is to settle off the credit card. Secondly, to open an account with debit card about 10k. Then, after that only will have savings in other investment account. Let’s see, this was my plan to get rid of credit card as I want to be free from giving extra money to banks. LOL

2. Positive working environment

Alhamdulillah, I have found a very good company to work with positive people around, and I can built my career. Thank you for Almighty Allah SWT for this opportunity. 🥰❤😘

3. Minimizing wardrobe

Alhamdulillah, I had finalized my wardrobe cleanup and keep only necessary clothes. I still keep my other clothes, but in the box. When I got time, I wanna take picture and sell it off. The money received, I will pay off Credit Card, and if got some extra, I will save in my Debit Card accounts.

4. Healthy lifestyle

Hurmm, this kinda tough as I live with my family. Hahahaha, it will be easy if I live alone, but I try to stay and keep a healthy lifestyle. Next month, November, I try to slot in hiking activities back into my schedule. Wohooo!!! I can’t wait for it..🥳

5. Additional goal for 2023: To achieve weight goal 55kgs.

I’m adding another one……To achieve goal weight 55kg. 😂 sounds impossible, but determination kills all impossibilities. 😀

Frankly speaking, I hate most of cardio exercises. Its really a boring exercise for me. I love lift weight so much. But hey, I need to keep it aside first..perhaps to focus on bodycombat more for now, at least. 😃

6. Additional achievement in 2022 😃

Hey, guess what? I met my true soulmate. Haha. Let’s see how things going on..😜

Okay, thats all for now…enjoy this view…..its about to start work!! Let’s work hard and smartly, don’t work hard and blindly, Guys!! Cheers!! ❤

Till then, to be continue….

Love, Sofia
