How are you? Hope everyone is in good health and conditions.
Since 2018, I’ve started my journey as minimalist. Now, at the end of 2025, I’m heading to back to a basic lifestyle, reducing expenses and living an optimum lifestyle.
I try to make something useful from every container, box, bottle and reuse it for other purposes. One of it was eggs container which I feel is very useful and filled my needs.
Living in a small home in town, had opened my eyes to cut some expenses, and I started from my groceries.
Making a seedling pot from eggs container 🪴
1. Cut into 2 for the normal eggs container and put the cover under the eggs container as per in the photo.2. Make a little hole on each of the bottom for the eggs container as per in the photo above. You can cut a little bit with a scissor/blade and use pencil/chopstick to make a small round hole.3. Put 2/3 of mixed soil into the container like this and put each of the containers with seeds, onions, and ginger (whatever you want). I’m using chilli, tomato, ginger, and garlic as these are normally I use for cooking.4. Then, cover the rest of the container with the same mixed soil and water it.5. This photo is after 5 days I’m watering it. As for now, I can see garlic and tomato started sprouting from the seeds. Can’t wait to see the rest soon 🥰❤️
If you have a landed property, it will be awesome for this activity. Please pray for me to have landed property soon, so I can make more diy project to recycle things I have at my home. 😇
It has a variety of meanings for many people. But for me, money is just a tool to satisfy our needs and wants. My retirement goal is to stay away as far as I can from something that required money. You need to ask yourself, what money can satisfy your needs and wants? To me, my need is food. I don’t buy much clothes. I don’t buy much shoes, or bags. It’s foods, water bill, electricity bills, internet bills and a house I can call a home.
I want to retire earlier than compulsory age. I want to have a living where I don’t need to worry about bills, mortgages, and foods. my focus for retirement is to go back to basic life and needs. I want to be away from massive traffic jammed. I want to be away from toxic circle friends and families. I just want to be alive and enjoying each my day n seconds, glorifying life surrounding me. I had enough of this fake world and getting back to real purpose or living.
I set my target, to retire in the next 10 years, insya Allah.
Olaa!!! Como estás? How are you, guys? Hope you are in a good health!!
Last month I went for a short vacay to Hatyai, Thailand. It’s food heaven 😍 Thinking to repeat it again.
Check these out 😃
So… I went alone to Hatyai. I booked a return ticket via online and just trust the flow 😂 Parked my car at TBS (Terminal Bus Station), I think around RM10 per day. The journey was about 7 hours, starts around 10pm, and arrived at the Malaysia border around 6am (KL 7pm)It was a long queue due to Malaysia public holiday, so a lot of Malaysian are going to Thailand for vacation. So, I passed and stamped twice, once at the Malaysia immigrant to check out from the country, and 2nd one was for Thailand immigrant for entrance. You really need to queue twice for the stamping purpose 😃So, I’m meeting my colleague at the Duty Free Zone building, which was located between the Malaysia and Thailand Immigrant station. So as I am done with the Malaysia Immigrant, I walked about 5-10 minutes to Duty Free Zone waiting for my other colleague and our transport Van)Duty Free Zone is located between Malaysia Immigrant station and Thailand Immigrant stationSo, our entrance is Songkla after done with all stamping 😀. Finally 🥰We had our breakfast at the nearby shop. It’s “Roti pisang”. Something like banana crepe with condensed milk. With Ice Tea“Roti Pisang” aka Banana Crepe!! Delicious, eat with condensed milk ❤️She is making the Banana Crepe. Just look around nearby building, I think it’s Fire Station.Not sure what is that, but look so cute. haha!! Banananaananana 🍌So the 1st place we went is Kaysorn Souvenir. To me, it’s not really that cheap. Just normal price. So I don’t buy much here, just few items n chill while drink the Thai Green Tea blended.hurrmmmm…not so nice. I think was about 60baht. not so cheap too. nahh 🙃Okay they have some other stall but I didnt try.The building is nice, I’m just chilling and enjoying the ambiance 😃
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. 😃 exhausted lolI brought my own milk tea “Teh Tarik” and feel gorgeous 😍 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 😃
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 😃 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 😃This hallway is from the washroom n “Surau” to the restaurant eating areaOur reserved table 🥰 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 😍 ❤️
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 😂
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 😃
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 😃Oh, 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 😋 We be given map for the whole resort too, see how huge the resort was 😃The main reason we book here, is to try their spa. Unfortunately it’s only by book.hahahaha and it’s fully booked. fine 🙂 So, after I checked in (No deposit required, which is good 😃), 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 🥰We booked superior room, because just 2 ladies party. hahahahahaha 😝 The bed is superb comfort. love the mattress so much 🥰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 🤪and 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 ❤️The shower is absolutely awesome. the water pressure is superb, and it feels like showering in a heavy rain. Absolutely stunning for the washroom 🥰❤️🥰
After check-in, we relax for a while and jump into the pool. Hooyeahhh!!!! Check these out…🥳
This resort is fully landscape and I can see its the mixture of Japanese and Ballinese concept. Breathtaking view for relaxation 😌 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 😃 probably someone famous either politician or artist, I guess 🙂There, got waterfall. Sooo relaxing. This is the adult pool 🥰❤️🥰and this is kids pool…so chilling ❤️I 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 🥰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 🤣
Chicken Cheezy..🍗Fried rice covered with Cheese…🧀Soy Sauce chicken, not spicy once. Not bad🍗and I really love this sooo much!!! ❤️ I think it’s mixed with Japenese mayonnaise, seaweed, tuna..taste so good and very filling ❤️🔥💯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 😎 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 😃The restaurant ambience 🥰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 😃😃😃Juice, 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 🥰
It’s just the beginning of Year, but I felt 🤪😵💫 already.
This year, I’m gonna have ZERO expectation and 100% of mind enjoyment, soul therapy and soul healing.
I’m truly exhausted with coming back to office, and trying to find company which gimme some sort peace of mind.
My Aim Target this year is…….to celebrate my own birthday with my ownself!!!! Book a 5 Star hotel room, sending myself whole cake, bouquet of flowers and Floating balloon!!! Who cares!! Nobody did that for me, and I had stopped expecting anyone doing such for me. Well!!!! I will do it myself and celebrating myself. I deserved a princess treat and I will treating myself like a princess on my birthday!!!! HeLLLLL YEAAAAHH!!!
WOMAN out there, stopped expecting if u don’t get a romantic partner. We celebrate ourself like how we want it to be. To those woman who treated them like this, Don’t expose your man as there will be a lot of eyes watching.
HELLLL YEAAHHH! I officially stop expecting from anyone else.
Hi everyone and Salam Maulidur Rasul to all Muslims. How are you today? Hope you are well and blessed.
Just want to share one of my addiction now, which is a factor on how do I shift from negative cashflow to positive cashflow.
Previously, I’ve been so demotivated on workload etc of my surroundings. I try to find something that I love to do, which is valuable for future.
So, it happened from my sister and my mom influence on buying golds. The main support comes from my dearest person who always gimme moral supports and motivation to make gold collection.
I found adorable Pandora beads online, Starbucks 916 gold which is my fav one. 🥰
I think I’m gonna start coffee and food collection since I love coffee and Im foodie… hahaha!! 😃😂
This month, I managed to buy 2 sizes starbuck beads- Venti & Grande. I’ve seen Coffee Grinder Gold Beads before, and I wanna find it for my next month budget. Just to add-on to my Coffee & Food collection. Other than those, I managed to buy necklace with Hermes Beads. Yeaahhh!!! ❤🌹🔥
Can’t wait for my next adventure…looking forward for more cute 916 gold Pandora beads for future..weee!!! 🥰
Look how cute the box is!!! It’s original boxes when I bought it. So, presentable and lovely. ❤Zoom in 🧐My 2nd necklace..hehehe..I love to stack my necklace, bangle and bracelet with different designs. 🥰Yay!!! Managed to get it during Maulidur Rasul promotion today. Soo lovely ❤Previously I got Hermes beads , 999. This time I bought 916. To be honest, favorable for me is 916, coz 999 is too soft and can bend easily.Tadaaaa!!!!
Heheheehe..thats all for this month…lets see what we will have for next month. I hope I can find the coffee grinder ❤🥰❤
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.
Hey hey heylllOoww Everybody!!!! Hahaha…I feel soOooOooooOooo refreshing today. Happy Eid Adha to all my Muslim sisters and brothers.
Last Friday, I’m visiting the 5 star hotel at Putrajaya – Pulse Grande Hotel. I really need a good break, and having my own time there. Whenever I felt about to burn out from work, I will reward myself by locking down myself in a good hotel.
Let’s check this out..
This is the entrance of the Pulse Grande Hotel entrance. As you can park your car at the near by parking lot with free of charge ❤The original lobby at Level 3 was in progress of renovation. I should say the interior is quite old, and need to do some renovation. The temporary Lobby was at Level 2. Picture shows the view from the parking. Parking is a bit far, but don’t worry, there is a free buggy pickup and drop at the entrance of the Lobby. But, I don’t like waiting, so I just walked 😃From the temporary entrance, you can see the Receptionist on your left, and straight path to the room’s lift on your right. Drop by at the receptionist for check-in, they will ask your Identity Card for local visitor, and perhaps your passport for foreigner. The receptionist will brief you on which floor the hotel and restaurant, and what time the room service will be available. If you bring your car, they will ask your Plat Number for their records. From the receptionist, there are 2 type of elevator. On the right side is transparent elevator, which you can see the garden and small river downstairs. The other elevator also can bring you to the rooms, however it’s not transparent and it’s a normal elevator. Well, I want to see the view, so I’m using this transparent elevator to my room. 🥰When I’m entering the room, there is huge foyer infront of the room. I think this is the biggest foyer so far I had experience for hotels 😃. The left side is wardrobe and right side was the bathroom.The bathroom is spacious compared normal hotel I went in KL. There is separate bathtub, shower and bowl. You can enter for 3 or 4 pax inside the bathroom!! hahahaha 😂So, the unique part for this hotel room is that, it has opened window for bathtub to the room!! I can see it’s very convenient for those who want to have honeymoon here..or just to bring kids for having fun in bathtub. It’s kinda a good idea for me. So, this is the big and comfortable bedroom in the room. I think there is a decoration services as well if you want to celebrate your memories day with some extra charges. I don’t know how much, you may check out by calling the hotel 😃The overall view from one of the room corner.There is a chair and table if you want to write or work with your laptop. On top of the table, there is a pencil and note, just in case if you need to write and leave a note.I’m kinda like the switches for the room. 🥰It has appropriate label on each of the switches. The view from bedroom to the bathroom.the view from the bathroom to the bedroom.Separated shower, bowl and bathtub I like the water pressure for the shower and love the built in rack. The toiletries. Shower gel and shampoo The room has bathrobes and indoor shoes. I really love the bathrobes, it’s very much comfortable. 🥰The mirror. Some refreshment…Coffee and TeaI brought my fairy light each time I went to hotel. It gave me relaxing vibes and chill ambience 🥰❤🥰
So, I just stay for a night, and I didn’t take their breakfast. Maybe once I got time, I will rebook again and try their breakfast. It’s just a day escape from a hectic life I had for past few months.
I really love the view, it was quiet and tranquil surrounding the hotel. This is the view from the balcony.
The next morning, I check out a bit early around 11am. You can check in after 3pm, and check out before 12pm at this hotel. When u check out, the receptionist will ask u if buggy required. I just feel too lazy to wait for the buggy, so I just walked to my car 😃😃😃
On the way back, I just took some snap photo at their garden. Oh!! If you stay here, this place has a very nice lights garden that you can walk casually with your love one here.
That’s all. It was worth it to chill and relax, to get urself a refreshment after a tiring weeks/months from work.
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.
