New Year 2022 Trip- Perlis

 Dear lovely readers, It has been quite some time that I haven't write a thing in this space. Somewhat a 'hidden' gem. Anyways, I wanted to share on my recent visit to Perlis. Hopefully, this can help those who planned to have a nice weekend later on.  Alhamdulillah, me and my husband decided to make a trip to the smallest state in Malaysia celebrating the New Year 2022. Since the border is still open for the time being, it is certainly the best opportunity to grab before it closes back due to pandemic.  Why Perlis tho?  Perlis has been underrated for the past few years, as people might think that there's not much of fun things to explore there. Anyways, this state has grew a lot these recent years with so many attractions despite of the current pandemic. Okay, let's straight to what we have done in this Indera Kayangan state.  So we started our journey on Saturday, 1st January 2022 from Sungai Petani, Kedah. We chose Padang Besar as our first pit stop of the day. P

2 days 1 night at Hotel Sentral Seaview Penang

It was quite last minute plan from my husband for us to have a stay at Hotel Sentral Seaview Penang. Thank God there was a room for the three of us to stay during the weekend. Of course, we made the booking through #booking.com - the process made easy and seamless.  This hotel is located at Tanjung Tokong, few kilometres away from the utmost Batu Feringhi. They provided a quite reasonable price for a family of three during weekend- and we were quite surprised too- it was including the breakfast buffet . And certainly an opportunity not to be missed!  So, long story short, let me share with you guys on the interior of the room provided.  This is the amenities area. Small fridge, iron with the board etc.  This is the room space. Quite spacious though. It's like a studio house and with balcony! Look at the view- so stunning , with the sound of waves- so calming. Amenities provided.  I like the bed- it was king sized bed and huge! Just enough for the three of us * that small lady just

Boulder Valley: Villa in the Jungle

 If you are looking for an exquisite getaway, somewhere that so close to nature but not comprimising the comfort and fanciness, Boulder Valley is the answer.  It is situated at the valley in Teluk Bahang, surrounded by real jungle trees and plots of durian plantation, this hidden gem is not a dissapointment at all. Eventhough it is far from the city, but hey, the facilities is top notch! But to remind all of you, there will be no internet connection, yet wifi services is provided. However, the access is limited to only three devices. Let me share with you guys on our 3 days 2 nights experience stay here in Boulder Valley. We were sent via buggy to our room. The road was inclined and hilly. It is better to use the buggy since we have an infant. Plus, our baggage were a lot! Buggy really helped us. This is our room, Tented Villa. We have a verandah and located just in front of a swimming pool. Their minibar was almost complete and functional too. Im not using the microwave because concer

11th Attempt and Failed

 Today,  my placement company, Habib Jewels held a Blood Donation Day through Yayasan Habib. As for me, I am always keen to join a blood donation drive because I just love doing it. I am scared of the huge needle, with the size of a wooden stick pricked into the vein but the feeling after doing it is so damn priceless!  Previously, I have done blood donation for three successive times over ten times of trials. Oh no, it was eleventh * which is including today. Why am I so enthusiastic about blood donation? My ultimate aim is to show my devotion to my nation. I know I do not possess any high skills or to give tonnes of money back to the people. Through this blood donation, it is free and it helps many lives out there *you are the HERO man! Besides, there are lots of benefits after times of donation, such as the list below; Source: https://pdn.gov.my/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16&Itemid=227  My aim is of course above 50 times of donation. Unfortunately, my c

Book Review : Marie Kondo - The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying

I just got the time to write after so long. Yet, I need to find time to write rather than to wait for the time to arrive. Anyways, I would like to share the third book of September (it's nearly mid-October sistah!) It was the utmost Marie Kondo Book - The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying .  For some people, even me myself never thought that tidying activity could even make a book! Obviously, Marie Kondo proves that tidying is a world's problem. Her love for tidiness and cleanliness had made a huge business run, especially in Japan. There are few take away from my reading, Start by discarding your items  Discard all of the unnecessary items in your closet, cabinet, or wherever you keep your stuff. Don't let the habit of hoarding things to be your belongings. You need to learn to let go of the past and ready for the future.  Keep your items accordingly Arrange your items following their type.

I don't need plastic bag

I don't need plastic bag and I am in Pahang. Last time , I went to the market to buy some stuff. Yet, this time I managed to bring my own eco shopping bag (after several times of failed bringing it together while shopping and causing me feel damn guilty towards the environment). When it's time to pay, I told the cashier that I don't need plastic bag. She looked at me and chuckled, 'it's okay kak, the price is including the plastic bags, ' 'no, it's okay, I don't need it, ' ' no kak, it's okay, I put in the plastic bag, ' Guessed what, inside I get boiled to the max. 'be patience ba, this is the beginning, it's never easy to manifest good things though,' You see, I don't mind about the few cents as long as I am trying and training very hard to reduce the anthropogenic effects towards the Mother Nature for hundreds of years to go. I don't mind about not being able to carry things, as long as the turtle won
