Hey hey heyy, hey everyone!! How are ya? Hope you are all doing good.
Just wanna share some ideas on what I’d completed to my 1st home. A lil bit touch up before ready to open for viewing.
So basically, what only left are:
1. To receive another curtain as current curtain is actually shorts after the folding. LOL. So I bought another 2 blackout curtain for my living room.
2. To receive my TV, I bought a smart TV for the house.
3. To hang the kitchen’s curtain. I already have it, just that I forgot to bring plier and scissor for cutting and adjusting the wire.
4. To hang bathroom mirror and bathroom rack. I need to bring along the strong double sided tape, I guess I just use double sided tape for the rack. 😃
5. To dismantle and install the water heater. I already bought 2units, just need plumber to install. I already book plumber to do such things 😀
So, check these out the differences before I took over and after I took over the house 😃🥰😃
When I’m viewing the house before my tenant move out.This was after I cleaning up the house and make a lil changes.This will be the final, only the Smart TV left to put on the TV cabinet.
Check out the kitchen…
This was before when I viewing the house and my tenant still living in.After my tenant move out and I clean up the kitchen.This was the final after I do a total cleanup in n out the kitchen cabinet and buy some carpets for kitchen.I love as clean as this..🥰❤🥰
Now, let’s see the dining area…🥰
This was before the tenant move out.This was after the cleaning up,, I rearranged n buy some stuff for the dining area.
Let’s check out rooms, the house has 3rooms and 2bathrooms.
The masterbedroom during the tenancy.The master bedroom after cleaning up, painted furnitures and bought mattress cover & some matched curtains .This was the middle room, where the tenant make it as a store room. A lot of clean up done for this room. This was the current view. Perhaps it need some rearrange, but not sure yet. I just bought the mattress cover and curtain for this room. This was the smallest room. Originally I made it as my wardrobe room and clothes organization room. So, my tenant just continue it, kinda have a lot of stuff during my visit that day.So I do a clean up and bought curtain. nothing much I did for this room. Just a cleaning.
So, most of the thing I did was, a massive clean up, throwing unnecessary stuff and do a lot of painting. I did paint the furniture such as TV cabinet, coffee table, make up table, mirror frame, TV rack, the dryer outside as well 😃
Some other things I snap photo before I went back home, last Saturday 😃🥰😃
I still need 2 more curtains..lolThe shoe rack, I don’t buy expensive shoe rack. I just re-paint the original brown wooden color with black and light grey color. I just buy the spray paint, make my life easier..LOLTadaa ❤❤❤
Okay, I will snap some photos later, after the rest pending things complete.
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. 🥰

Today, Im gonna share how I combined both my hobbies into something new makeover. Hahahaha!!! Yes!! I’M DECLUTTERING WHILE MAKING DO IT YOURSELF PROJECT DECORATION!! 😆
Okay, first thing first, I need to get rid/declutter my previous business items like ribbon, sponge, burlap etc right. So, I was thinking. My dustbin is so dull, and it always flew away whenever there are heavy thrash inside because the dustbin is too light in weight.
So, I decided to make some DIY Project, to decorate my dustbin. Yay!!! 🥰
My Dustbin before the decoration 😕
All You Need to Have….
These are the items needed, plus Jute rope and emptybox. Missing in the photo 😌Tadaaa!!! After the decoration 😇
Let’s Do It! 🥰❤🥰
1. First of all, trace the bottom Dustbin onto the empty box like below picture 👇
2. Then, cut the lines. Glue the circle box with Burlap, and keep the Burlap 1 inch around the circle box to glue later.
3. Put the Jute rope onto the circle box and glued with glue gun. Then turn circle the jute rope and repeating the process until finished.
4. Glue the circle box onto the bottom of the Dustbin. Then, continue turn circle the jute until finished.
5. When the jute finished, I continue by taking out jute from bigger size. Hahaha..just using whatever I have 😉
6. Then, I glued the Burlap and Jute with Glue Gun. Kinda much I needed for the Glue Gun.
7. Then, I take out and open my new sponge for the ruffle. Haha 😃
8. For ribbon, I just simply cut n paste with Glue Gun. You can fold nicely, but I like easiest way and look neat 😃😜. Check this out 👇
9. After cut, paste, cut, paste and cut paste, the final product will be…..TaaaaDaaa 👇!! 🥰
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 ❤🥰❤
Before decorating my dustbin 😕After decorating my dustbin 🥰
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 ❤🥰
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 😀
It looks like photo frame right…nice 😃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 🥰There is one steep hills to climb up…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..🥰The other point of view…Thinking to draft plans, but end up just chilling..heheStairs that you need to climb up..
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’. 🥰
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 😅
My multipurpose flask water 🤭
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.
Source: Google
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..❤
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..
