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. π exhausted lolI brought my own milk tea “Teh Tarik” and feel gorgeous π 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 π
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 π 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 πThis hallway is from the washroom n “Surau” to the restaurant eating areaOur reserved table π₯° 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 π β€οΈ
So…will come back to the restaurant??
Absolutely yes!! I will definitely come again and enjoy the food and view here. Insya Allah.
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 π
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 π
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 πOh, 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 π We be given map for the whole resort too, see how huge the resort was πThe main reason we book here, is to try their spa. Unfortunately it’s only by book.hahahaha and it’s fully booked. fine π So, after I checked in (No deposit required, which is good π), 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 π₯°We booked superior room, because just 2 ladies party. hahahahahaha π The bed is superb comfort. love the mattress so much π₯°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 π€ͺand 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 β€οΈThe shower is absolutely awesome. the water pressure is superb, and it feels like showering in a heavy rain. Absolutely stunning for the washroom π₯°β€οΈπ₯°
After check-in, we relax for a while and jump into the pool. Hooyeahhh!!!! Check these outβ¦π₯³
This resort is fully landscape and I can see its the mixture of Japanese and Ballinese concept. Breathtaking view for relaxation π 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 π probably someone famous either politician or artist, I guess πThere, got waterfall. Sooo relaxing. This is the adult pool π₯°β€οΈπ₯°and this is kids pool…so chilling β€οΈI 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. lolThis is different pond, no fish inside. kinda like Japanese garden concept. this area got various room for workshop or meeting rooms. Look!! nice landscape π₯°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 π€£
Chicken Cheezy..πFried rice covered with Cheese…π§Soy Sauce chicken, not spicy once. Not badπand I really love this sooo much!!! β€οΈ I think it’s mixed with Japenese mayonnaise, seaweed, tuna..taste so good and very filling β€οΈπ₯π―tadaaa!!!! for 2pax
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 π 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 πThe restaurant ambience π₯°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 πππJuice, pastry and coffee
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 π₯°
It’s been awhile I’m away due to business with my job. Whoott!! Whoottt!!! How are you guy? Hope u are doing great.
So, it’s been about 2 years I’m busy with the work project, now it’s finally over!!!! And it means, it’s time to look forward for better opportunity!!

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 ππ
I still remember the day when I went through this, and Alhamdulillah, all my prayers were answered. π€²
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 π:
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.
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 β€οΈ
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 π
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 π₯°β€π₯°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!! πππThere 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 πππOkay ,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..
Hello everyone!! How are you? Hahahaha..I’ve been drowning in workload for past 2months..It’s about to end soon, insya Allah β€
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. π₯°
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. π For those who not used to it, you will feel awkward at first time πππ
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.
Hey Everybody… How are you guys? It’s been awhile since the last time I’m updating my blog.
I’ve been so busy, that I didn’t realize that it’s already mid of the Year 2023 now. I’ve been so busy with things happening surrounding me, I’ve been so busy with my aim goals, I’ve been so busy with kick-off project in the office. So many things going on around me, I’ve so busy with my family busy preparing for Ramadhan, busy celebrating for Eid Fitri, and now we are going towards end of May 2023.
Quite a lot of things happening, setting up goals etc and now 1 year more is ending.
I can’t wait for my very own house to complete, is somewhere in mid of 2025, just another 2 years to go. The rest of the things, I don’t care much, the only thing that Im wishing now is to have my own tranquility in my own very house. To have my own happiness, the rest I can wait to have, if not in this life, perhaps the other life.
Okay, eventho I have a lot of things to say, Im not in the right mind to update things now.

Hola!!! cΓ³mo estΓ‘s? How are you? Hope you are all in good health, insya Allah π₯°
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 β€π₯°β€
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 π
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!! π
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 π₯°
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 πππ
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 π₯°
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 π
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 π₯°
Vacuuming the mattress, quilt and pillow biweekly basis π
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 ππ₯°
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 π
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 πInside the wardrobe and on top of the shelf π₯°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. π₯°
