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

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…

Rejuvenated @Makcik Urut Spa 🥰

Hello everyone!! How are you? Hahahaha..I’ve been drowning in workload for past 2months..It’s about to end soon, insya Allah ❤

Last Saturday I managed to make an appointment for body massage! Yeehaa!! It was really a hectic life for past few months, now only I can manage to have my “me time”. Insya Allah, in future..I want to do something so that I will have more time for me and my family. 🥰

I booked with Makcik Urut – A body massage spa, and took Pakej Delima, where I got complimentary Foot Therapy, Body massage (u can choose either traditional massage or aromatherapy massage, and this package I took has Tungku (where they will put a hot river stone on ur body). I don’t recommend the traditional massage, it’s painful for me. haha. probably I will choose aromatherapy in my next visit.

The foot therapy, I think they put salt and some flowers..and leave it for 20minutes before the body massage. Hurmm..

They have variety ways, some on the table like this, other with chair, and lot of it, they have mattress on the floor for massage.

The rest of the spaces. The partition is curtain between one to another.

This is mine, They will give you the “Batik” clothes and towel to cover up. You will need to take of ur clothes, and put on the clothes. 🙈 For those who not used to it, you will feel awkward at first time 🙈🙈🙈

Okay, after 1hour n 20min, they will provide green tea. To be honest, I will give 7/10 stars, because the therapist they gave me, she whack my veins..hahaha..next time I need to choose better Therapist who has more experience so that they can adjust to our body needs. Don’t forget to make a survey which therapist had good experience, it’s very important to make an appointment with them first and check their availability. Hahahaahaha…Till then…I think I need to have a looking treatment for myself…like a week holiday. Hahaha..till then..see u in my next post..Im gonna check out one 5star hotel soon.

Stay cute and handsome, ciao~

Till then, to be continued

Are You A Minimalist?

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. 🥰

Okay, I think thats all for now. To be Continue..

5 Minimalist Habits that changed My Lifestyle 🥰

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 ❤🥰❤

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 ❤🥰

Till then, see you again…to be continue….

Love, Sofia

Let’s Chillex!! 😘

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 😀

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 🥰

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..🥰

Thinking to draft plans, but end up just chilling..hehe

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’. 🥰

Starts Build A Healthy Habits Today 🥰

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 😅

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.

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..❤

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….

My “kick off” lift weight plan for Month 1, 2 and 3 🙂

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 😉

3 things that’s very important in our life 🙂

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..
