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 😉
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 😭
HeLLoooOoooo everyone!!! It’s weekend again!! I woke up today, suddenly I’ve been thinking bout this…
There are 3 things that very important in our life – Faith to God, Health and last but not least Education.
Why I said so? Okay let’s go to see each of it in details
1. Faith to God
Okay, this happened to me. I don’t believe in miracle before, until this is really happened to me. There is one day, I lost my car key. I find in everywhere, in my room, in living room, in dining room, in my car literally everywhere, but not found. After checking for a week, I started my prayers and asking my God for my key. After not more than 3minutes, I found it in my room. The thing is, I did look for it at the same place, but couldn’t find it before. You imagine I’m looking for over a week. Starting that day, I do believe that prayers can make a miracle.
So back to our story, yes we need to pray to God, coz above of our plans, there is a Greatest Planner to plan our life. If you find difficulties in this life, then repent to God coz only God can turn things into miracle. This life is a test, patience and prayers help us to overcome the stress. Insya Allah.
2. Health
One of the reason why health is very important is that, medicine supply is very low nowadays. There are fluctuate in medicine price over the years, very expensive these days. Recently, one of the doctor i visited told me, our medicine is running out, and we need to find different supplier to replace. Lot of patients lately, and clinics, hospitals are full.
Another reason is, when you sick, you just simply can’t do anything at all. You gonna lay down, do nothing. Eating medicine and not proactive. If you are wealthy, but not fit..you gonna spend a lot of your money for medicine. Wasn’t it waste of money? So, live a healthy lifestyle is very important. I’m not only talking bout physical health, mental health is very important too. Coz I’ve seen during pandemic and lockdown, a lot of people gone insane and some commit suicide. If you don’t have strong faith to God, you will definitely commit suicide when you face a lot of trouble in your life. Differently if you have faith in God, you will repent yourself to God and ask for forgiveness. Ask for miracle, believe me, miracle does happened with prayers 🥰
3. Education
Okay, this is very important. I do understand, some places they don’t have good education system in their countries. But hey, if you had some lessons from your mother, your father, your sister etc telling you do’s and don’ts, that is a part of education too. Not only books, advises are ki nd of education too.
So, why am I saying this is very important in our life? Okay, with educations and exposure, the level of thinking to solve one’s issue is different. The higher you learnt, the more you can see overall issue and know how to tackle the issue by finding the root cause. Comparing to those doesn’t have any education, they only see things from ‘front end’. With education, you be able to see from ‘front end to back end’ and ways how to tackle the issue. So, for those don’t have any opportunities to study in school, don’t worry. Talk to more people. Most of our educations are from people experiences. I did that, I did talk to people and listen to their experiences and advises. It somehow helps me to analyzing problem i faced 😃
If you are trying to find your life partner, try to find somehow who has same level of education with yours. This is very important to avoid conflicts or argument when you face some issues in your life.
Okay, I think these 3 things are crucial to have. When you have these 3, you can try to balance out your life. That’s all for today..
Heyy!! Everybody! If you come to Malaysia and you love steamboat, do visit Johnny’s restaurant! And order for their Tomyam soup…slurrppp 🤤 It was my fav steamboat restaurant, so far..
Okay, the restaurant have different kind of food, they do serve steamboat with min of 2 pax steamboat and also they do serve ala carte like ‘Nasi goreng cendawan’ my fav 🤤. It doesn’t cost much, was around RM 40++ for 2pax and with Tomyam soup some extra RM 15. Total I ate was around RM66 (included drink-lime juice). This price was in June 2022 and might change over the months/years 😃
So, I just wanna chill alone that day, and ordered for 2pax steamboat. If you love spicy, I recommend the Tomyam soup, it’s damn nice if you mixed it with the ‘asam laksa’ sauce 😍🥰
What will you have, in the 2pax steamboat (June 2022): Prawn, Chicken fillet, homemade Fish ball, homemade seaweed ball, Japanese Tofu, Bee hoon, fresh egg, Golden mushroom, Chinese cabbage, Hong Kong Kailan, and Seafood Tofu.
Well, I’m seating next to the window, and the last table at the corner. A nice spot to have little privacy 🥰
Tadaaa!!!! It was a nice spot to have some privacy 🥰Before ‘they’ arrive….😀After ‘they’ arrive…😃
Okay, I went to the Melawati Mall branch, they served customer with cute robots 😃
The ‘waitress’ to serve my steamboat 😀This is the fav sauce..it taste lil bit like ‘asam pedas’ or ‘asam laksa’ sauce…it mixed well with the Tomyam soup 🤤🥰I think its homemade fish ball, its different taste than the normal round fish ball. It taste ‘rich’ in fishes🤤My fav too…Seafood Tofu 😍Japanese Tofu..The golden mushroom..where is the golden? 🙈Fresh eggs…i love the egg pouches..🤤Hong Kong Kailan…my fav too..it taste sweet..not like a normal vegie 😃The homemade seaweed ball..this taste soo nyummy 🤤🥰😍Prawn…quite big..but not one of my fav. I ate it the very last…🥴Normal chicken fillet..nothing special bout this..lolThe Chinese cabbage, I don’t really like the taste. It tastes bitter 🙈
Then…after the nice selfdate, ….i went to cinema…alone…lol 🧐
I booked a horror movie…then…it end up…im alone in the cinema…hahaha…..🥴
Home Alone – NO … Cinema Alone – YES 😃
Okay, I have so much fun…dating with my own soul…a lot of things running thru my mind…decision has been made. Haha..cheers!!
Hello everyone!! Just a throwback for last weekeend holiday, we went to one of the 5 stars hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Royale Chulan Kuala Lumpur.
To be honest with you, for those who love cultural, and especially for tourist, this is one of the best hotel in Kuala Lumpur for you. It’s more classical and traditional carving decoration for the building and it’s decoration as well. There are some of the times I can see that the staffs are wearing traditional ‘songket kurung moden’ and the guy wearing ‘Baju melayu’ some with ‘Tanjak’. It’s was the best for family gathering and to relax, but i should say not a hotel for business purposes 😃 The service a bit slow and not so organize, not a hotel if you are in a hurry 😀

Where to park? (If you have vehicles)
Well yea, for those who have vehicles, you may park your vehicle at the basement parking. There are B1 and B2 basement parking. I will recommend you to park at B2 basement, coz too many cars at the B1 basement.
So, there will be 2 elevators, one is to the hotel lobby, and the other one is to the apartment lobby. You will need to park nearby to elevators which for the hotel lobby. The good about the elevator is, you don’t need to touch the card when you want to go to your room 😂 well, yes it’s good for safety reason to have designated card to your room, but if you go with your family, it’s kinda irritating. Haha. Yeah, I give a thumb up to the traditional way for the elevators 😄
Elevators….
Royale Chulan KL has 2 elevators, one is for the apartment, and another one is for hotel lobby. Use the one for hotel lobby, I managed to snap some photos for the elevator, lobby and the front counter. Check these out.. 😃
The elevator from basement to hotel rooms.
Registration to check-in hotel
If you bring your own vehicle, you will need to register the plate number at the counter. So, whenever you are going out, you will need to go to the counter first, for complimentary parking -multiple entries (each time need to claim complimentary parking at the counter).
I booked my room directly at their websites. You may use another platform too, but if you choose to booked directly to their website, make sure you fill in the booking room with your full name. There is no deposit at the time of my visit. I did booked for 1 studio apartment and 1 superior king, but they provided me with connected room with 1 suite room, and 1 twin room. Aaaa…its win-win situation..perhaps its something similar to upgrade room? 😀 But it’s okay coz the visit is just for relaxing. So, you will be given mainly 2 cards, one is for the key and another card is to plug in the power.
The counter for check-in and check-outThe decoration is traditional and cultural, I saw they hang quite some of numbers for ‘Keris’. Wanna know what ‘Keris’ is? Here..read this 😀Keris’s framed and put on the wall..This is the spa booth. They have spa at the same level as the pool, Level 2. But I didn’t go check on it 😀Some decorations for the spa booth..Err…might be cheap for Tourist, but not for Local 😃The lobby and restaurant in the glass side area..
The rooms….
Okay, once you reached to your room’s level, you will see a beautiful hallway to your room. I think so far this is the biggest hallway for hotel I’ve been in my whole life 😀
Spacious hallway from elevator to the room..
When you entered the room, you will see the dry kitchenette and big mirror..
Kitchenette and big mirror
The suite was kinda spacious, it has 2 seaters sofa and small round dining table. TV and console table. But I think the TV channel is kinda old, think it should be better if have netflix channel 🙂
The small dining and living room..
The dining/living room and bedroom are separate by 1 small wooden sliding door.
The view from the wooden sliding door…
When you go further, then you can see the whole bedroom…as below…
The bedroom…it’s spacious for a hotel 😃Side table…it’s a very old and traditional for a hotel.The desk..
As I mentioned earlier, I got connected room and for the other room was a twin room.
The connecting rooms…This is the twin room. Some find it’s very fascinating, but I don’t feel the same way, coz my parents house was more ‘traditional’ and more ‘royale’ than this 😂
The bathroom…
The hotel bathroom is kinda spacious..but the concept kinda similar to Pullman hotel. The bathroom has partition to divide the shower, and bowl, and each of the rooms has bath tub 🥰
The bowlThe showerThe bath tubToiletries..
The pool….
The pool was located at level 2. It’s just nearby to our rooms 😍 very convenient..
This is the entrance..it’s available from 7am until 8pmThere are 3 swimming pools, purposely for babies, kids and adults…it’s pretty awesome for the pools
The complimentary breakfast, indoor waterfall…and garden… 🥰
Just like a normal hotel, this hotel has a complimentary breakfast. The food is local food and served ‘Nasi Lemak’ with ‘sambal’, ‘Roti Canai’, noodles, croissant and bread. Drinks, they have mango/apple juice, detox lemon water and hot drinks – nescafe, ‘teh tarik’, tea and black coffee.
I think overall, the food is not so bad. My mom said, it was nice. But I like those in Seri Pacific hotel more 😃
The restaurant…My ‘teh tarik’ and tosted bread..i toasted it twice 😂‘Teh tarik” and muffin. The muffin looks so dull, but it’s actually taste nice and fluffy 😃 i thought its hard..hahaOkay, thats me with my glasses..too lazy to stick my eyes with contact lens in the early morningm..so I let those eyes relax a bit…hahaha
Okay, just nearby the cafe/restaurant..there is a tropical waterfall and garden….and lot of big koi fishes in the pond..😍
The indoor waterfall…inside the Royale Chulan Kuala LumpurCute koi fishesI think they were hungry…
Well overall, it’s not that bad…a spacious hotel, very traditional and rich of cultural, nice food, but I think it will need a lil bit of maintenance especially the room furnitures. It’s quite old and got some scratches on the furnitures. A lil bit of nice room parfum, will be good, coz most 5 stars hotel I went have a decent smell, like spa smell. Not bad for tourism, but not recommended for business trip as the services a bit slow 😀
Till then…to be continue….for the next hotel trip…
Hello friends!!! How are you today? Happy weekend!!! WoOooooHoooo!!! It’s finally weekend.
Okay guys, I used to have Dolce Gusto Piccolo XS on my workspace desk in office, however due to shifting workplace, I don’t have a place for my Piccolo anymore. 😢 Staying with your parents, meaning your space is very limited to your room only. Living with maximalist, means “Sorry, no space for you!”. Hahaha..so, I have to keep all my Piccolo and ‘his’ babies in my small pantry (small wardrobe).
So, what I did, I kept all my coffee capsules in container to preserve the aroma (I hope so). Next month, I need to do an appropriate setup for my Piccolo in my room 🙂
Hey everyone…how are you, mentally and physically? Are you all really okay?
For me, both mental and physical health are very important. There is no point if you have a lot of cash, but your inner health is not happy/sad. If your mental was tired with your chaotic life, then you need to stop and follow your own pace.
Well, recently something had happened. I snapped and do my own checking for my mental and physical health. I had noticed, recently I had not exercising and easily tired. Insomnia is one of the sign that I’m having a mental disturbed.
What you need to do if your mental is disturbed?
1. You need to find a backup plan, if your current plan didn’t work out.
It is very important to have some extra 2 or 3 backup plans on anything, so whenever things didn’t go right, at least you will have some other plans to do.
2. Find and create your own happiness.
Yes, this is very important. No one will make you happy. Your happiness is your own responsibility. You rule your own happiness. Do things that make you happy, as long as it didn’t against the law. Be yourself, be real and don’t be fake. Coz once you’d been noticed fake, it’s just…disgusted.
3. Let it go, everyone is not perfect.
Everyone has his/her own strength and has his/her own weakness. Nobody have right to pull down anyone, because himself/herself has their own weakness. Human is created by God such way, and to complete each other. I really don’t believe if someone told me, that they are perfect. Coz nobody does and only God is perfect in multiple ways.
4. Catch memories of the happiness and spread the positive vibes
It wasn’t easy to be happy on this earth, so catch some photos or videos of these memories if you have a chance. Your inner happiness will create a positive vibes around the society and spread the positivities.
5. Pray to God
Last, but not least is to pray to God. We are the planner, but on top of our plans, there is a Big Planner which is..God’s plan. Doesn’t matter what religion you are, pray to your God and asked from God. Those who don’t have faith in any God, I pray someday you will have some faith to God. For muslims, perform some extra prayers other than 5mandatory prayers, and recite Quran. Insya Allah, Allah will ease everything for us. Amin 🤲
Hi everyone!! Today’s topic is a bit bizarre to discuss, but yet most of times happening and is an issue for minimalist out there, including me 😄
So, we all know how minimalist characters, we love simple things, and keep things that only really means to us. But hey, how bout if you got no choice to live with those who are maximalist? Well…well…well…you are not alone! I’m living with my parents and my mom is maximalist…😀
I should say, it’s kinda depress to see a lot of unwanted stuffs everywhere in the kitchen, in the living room, in the garden, but yet you just can’t throw it out coz it’s not yours and its your mom’s stuff, plus you are staying in their house. You are not…alone…😂 🤪
Well, you actually really can’t do much, but for me, I will take some my little space, in each of corner in the kitchen especially for my own stuff. My mom, not allow for me to have my whole 1 cupboard, but she just allow me put my things in 1 container at the places. You heard me right, its plural ‘places’. She gave me, one corner in the fridge, 1 corner in the spices, at the other corner for my dry ingredients like my takoyaki flour, bonito flakes and other dry stuff, and another corner for my sauces like honey mustard. To be honest with you, it gimme a lot of headache to find my stuff, so I keep some in my own cupboard, in my room. Like a small cupboard pantry 😃
My Small Cupboard Pantry for dry food packets 😃
This is one of the cupboard or some call wardrobe. But, I have 2 wardrobe, well..I’m living in a family whom all members are maximalist, except my dad and me. So yeah, I have 1 big wardrobe, and 1 small wardrobe. So the big one, as you can find in my other post, is solely only for my clothes, handbag, duvet cover and bedsheets, towel and scarf. And another 1 small cupboard, I keep the sort of unwanted stuff that need to sort, like cables, candles, essential oils that Im barely use, projector, gun glue and sort of stuff. So, I keep one rack for my dry food stuff, like coffee, sauces in packet, jelly packet…etc..
Tadaaa…one of the rack is for my dry food stuffFried Chicken flourKorean spicy sauce for fried chickenVietnam spring roll paperMy fav starbuck espresoand…Raw Jelly..
Haha…well, when you got no choice, built choices on your own 😂 so, another thing I have is, a small minifridge under my desk 😂 Yes, you heard it right..under my desk coz I got very limited space in my room. But soon, when my house completed, I will make it as my serum storage 🙂
My Micro Fridge for some drinks and small treats 🥰
Its very tiny fridge, obviously not for meat or vegie 😂 but for a small can or drinks, or some small treats.. should be okay 😊
Tadaaa….compact micro fridgeTiny fridge has mirror and light with touch sensor
Okay guys, thats all for today..oh yea..by the way, today is Eid-Adha, wishing all Muslims Happy Eid-Adha ❤
Till then, to be continue. I will show you how to make Homemade Takoyaki at home tomorrow..Wee!!! I love takoyaki, I believe most people love it. See u tomorrow!!
Hi everyone!! Hope you doing good. Today remarks 1 year since I left gym and exercises. It is just recently, I notice that I need to start pickup up back my dumbell. Yawww!!!😄
Im afraid, if I reach 40 and then been dignosed with diabetes or hypertension. No way!!! Health is treasure! I want it back. 😀Well, when I’m an auditor before, I frequently having migrain and hypertension. So, I left the job coz I don’t feel its worth it coz impacting my health. Yes, Im a health conscious its just a matter of time to exercise and time to prepare food that I’m struggling with now.
Today, I started squeeze in some time, afterwork before the night shower..to pick up my fav dumbell, switch on the utube video and do 20 minutes (no jump, no lunges, no squad exercise-my body is just not ready yet for those, lets start something simple) 😂 To be honest with you, it only last for 15 minutes. But its okay, lets have a 15 minutes consistency rather than nothing, guys!!! 😃😃😃
Well, after being ‘scam’ with the gym trainer , as a minimalist I think the best is to keep motivated and discipline. To start with, you can guy a pair of fav dumbell (as the weight u comfortable with), and yoga mat.Its not that expensive too, medicine was 😉 my fav dumbell was 4lb (~1.8kg) each. I bought a pair 4lbx2dumbell= 8lb (~3.6kg) 🥰
Switch on utube channel, then there u go. Just slot some 1 hour time in your schedule for exercise. I think the best for me is between 6-7pm. I’ll be off at 6pm, then shower at 7pm.
Guys!! Let’s go on healthy way, being healthy is lifestyle, not sometimes but all the times. Let’s start a long healthy lifestyle and maintain our health. The medicine is very expensive nowadays, we shall take care of our health!! 😇
Hi everyone!! Good morning, hope you have a great weekdays. Weekend is just around the corner, yeppie!!
As a minimalist..or I shall say..towards to the minimalist of living…here are Friday routine. For me, Friday is always a special day, as I assume it as my pre-weekend day..hahaha!! 😄
I woke up today around 6.15a, and straight make my bed. Took a shower and do a prayer. Then, I opened the curtain to allow some fresh air in.
I will need some storage for my blankets..sigh
I switch on my fav soft music on my laptop and speaker swiched on, then I do my laundries. And then, later I make my breakfast “Keropok lekor goreng” and my americano ice..nyummy 😋. For those who don’t know what is “Keropok lekor goreng”, okay this is our tradisional food. It was made mixture of fishes, some flour and lil salt i guess. I bought online and it was my fav snack 🥰
When eastern meet western..Americano and “Keropok Lekor” 😋
Okay, before we start works, lets blogging…so today I gotta learn how to trade guys..I’ve working for a trading company, but never trade before. It wasn’t easy at all guys. But I try to learn using a demo account. Hahaha..it keep my heart beat faster…even with demo account.
Wanna know more bout the trading stuff…stay tune…coz I need to learn the basic stuff first..hahaha….to be continue…
