Malaysia Beauty Travel and Lifestyle Blog

  Since this will be my final blog post for the year 2021, let's keep it short. Pat on our back. We survive another year.  I remember in my younger days, used to set a long list of new year resolutions almost every year without fail. When I  take a look at my list from old diaries...Gosh! I almost fall off my chair. Why is it all the same? As if a copy and paste the reso on yearly basis. Even the order is kind of 80% similar. **facepalm** ish ish ish... I would say the first top three in my new year reso was Lose Weight, Save Money, Stay Healthy. Jeng...Jeng...Deja Vu! This was a common New Year resolution. There were seven others on the list but it was just my childish dream. Lets the dream be the dream and things shouldn't come true for a reason. Believe in Gods Will! As I grow older, at this age the new year resolution isn't my thing anymore. I will not live my life towards any resolution. It won't work anyway. Not for me. Maybe ageing made me things this way. Or per...

  I have never written about this before. But today, I am sharing with you my bedtime beauty ritual. I am not talking about those basic skincare ritual kinds of things. Most woman, I know would clean their face, then apply the serum or essence and moisturizing. Some even apply a face mask pack. But there is something more unusual which I added to my nighttime beauty ritual.No! No! it's not a body lotion. Slather body lotion all over my crocodile skin is part of the beauty standard routine.😂 I applied a foot pack for better quality sleep. Another unusual bedtime ritual is to apply lip balm on my lip. I swear this works for my dry and cracked lips. I have been doing this for 2 years now. I wake up with sift and super-smooth lips. Of course, I am using the Burt's Bees Ultra Conditioning Lip Balm from my very own Shopee Store . I started this store 2 years ago for fun. Back to my favourite Burt's Bees Ultra Conditioning Lip Balm. What is so special about this Lip Balm? First o...

  We booked rooms which are Premium Pool Villa and Panorama Sea View Villa. The staycation was sponsored by my parent. 'Sugar Daddy' sponsored the accommodation and Sugar Mummy for our food. All 4 of us siblings plus 2 nieces and 1 brother in law just follow like the parasite. WTH! Anyway, this stay was specifically requested by my Dad who has been longing for a family trip and all his children gather at one place. Yeah..we are sort of scattered around kind of family and hardly see each other unless special occasion. I brought my parent for a Lexis Hibiscus staycation once, that was many years ago when the place are still new and well maintained. My Dad super loves the place. I guess because they can enjoy the pool privacy kind of thing. As for me, I don't really like pool because keep thinking about how many people has been in there urinating and farting. I will just keep my detailed imagination to myself. My third sister came to pick up from my last sis with her 5-series...

  Hada Labo’s ‘We Care for Nature’ campaign is back for the second year in collaboration with the Malaysia Nature Society (MNS) and Watsons Malaysia.     This year, Hada Labo has pledged its ‘We Care for Nature’ CSR fund to the replanting of forest trees in Kuala Selangor Nature Park where trees are scarce especially at the river bund area. Kuala Selangor Nature Park has recently lost a huge number of trees due to ecotourism.   According to MNS, planting trees along the river bund is important. In addition to offering habitat to the wildlife and increasing the number of bird species, the natural source of wood debris and leaf litter will also provide a food source for the freshwater organisms and help cool down the water temperature for the otters and fishes in the river.     From 1 – 31 December 2021, Hada Labo will donate RM1 from the sales proceed of every Hada Labo Booster Serum sold at Watsons outlets nationwide to the ‘We Care for Nature’ fund. ...

  Whenever this new Hada Labo H. A Supreme Booster Serum ad video keep on passing by my FB, I just can't wait to get my hands on this. Finally, reached my doorstep to experience it on my skin.

  Recently, someone who I last met 20 years ago, contacted me. I never change my phone number. I'm not close to her at all. She was an acquaintance. Not even my ex-colleague. She somehow found my blog thru my ex-colleague. Out of the blue, message me. She was saying, I wasted my life at this age. Why go for early retirement when you are not even in the 50s yet. You know, that typical 'Kaypoh' Auntie talk. Of course! I was annoyed by her messages. I don't really reply to her much. I tried to give a short answer possible.  I don't even know her well. The way she talks is as if she has been stalking me for so long. I recalled only meeting and talking to her thrice in my entire life. Then she went on......Jeng...Jeng...Jeng..she was trying to recruit me as her MLM downline. At this point, I just hit the 'three dots' on the right-hand side and click blocked. Adoi!!!! Yeah, man! stay far away from this type of people. I know some of you may say she just trying her...

  I received a notification from MySejahtera App for the third booster shot on the 5th of Dec 2021. I made a call to the designated medical centre to inquire about the booster brand. They told me it will be the 'Pz' brand. My first 2 doses were 'SinV'. I was contemplating for a few days on to go or not to go. Should I gamble on my body or not. Really worried about the side effect. My first sis who is working in the hospital advised me to get the same brand shot since my body condition isn't that great. Since she is the frontline, so she has gotten all three shots and at 'Pz' all the way. When I read the news, the KKM recommended mixing 'SinV' with 'Pz'. To be honest, I don't really have faith in the authority advice. Those people won't take any responsibility if things got to mess up when they affect my health. I need to trust my own gut feeling on making the decision. By the time you read this line, you should have understood how mes...

  I bought a new writing desk from shopee but after the setup, it is far from stable. Ah! what do I expect from a less than RM90 table, right? So, I end up swapping it with my dining table, which is more solid to spend time working for hours there. I still haven't gotten myself a proper chair to sit on. As you can see in the photo above my so 'old school' home office set-up. Feeling like a teacher with no students.😅 We are living in a digital era and most of us spend more hours in front of computers at home. So traditional home office set up, which is just table, chair and computer kind of outdated trend. Improper set-up could lead to body stress by staying in an uncomfortable position for long hours. Prolong for this ignorance could result in MSDs (Musculoskeletal Disorders). How to set up an ergonomic home office? Proper Ergonomic Home Office setup is necessary these days to avoid the possibility of bad posture syndrome and at the same time could increase work quality an...

  Those days, I used to wake up at 5am just to beat the horrendous traffic jam to the workplace. Then wait till the sun goes down to drive back with ease traffic. See? Life for me those days was like out from home before the sun up and only reaching back home after sundown. I was practically in the dark all the time.  I have no time to walk, breathe the fresh air and enjoy the birds chirping. I can do this only when travelling abroad or on vacation. So? How am I doing these days? It has been more than 16 days ever since I live at my new home. I go out for a morning walk, daily. Usually, I will wake up at 6am and will be out of the house after morning prayer.  My current place has good natural surroundings. There are two gardens inside this community. Both have different vibes. One is more to the hillside with some rubber plantation and orchard which I can enjoy the fresh air. I even can enjoy beautiful bird chirpings every morning. My house is just about a 200-meter walk ...

"There is no place like home" We often heard this quote.  It takes me a while to make myself comfortable in a new place.   I currently moving into a house that I will call home for the rest of my life. That is my biggest wish because I really hate the idea to move again. It really takes a toll on my body really bad. This will be my first ' so called' home ever. All the while I have been staying in the kind of office set up. I really spend time to decorate and even organizing this new place of my mine because this place is really special and will be here most of the time. How did I find this new place? Well, after a long survey and consulting some of my friends who are residing all the way in Toronto. Yes! my long-distance friend whom I seek for advice whenever I need one. I did mention to her the property here in Malaysia is getting more and more beyond affordable. She told me, the price in Malaysia is still affordable compared to Real Estate in Toronto . She did ment...

  What is the sign of sensitive skin? If you are having redness, itching, burning, stinging, tightness or even dryness - this means you have sensitive skin. There are many factors for your skin to change and become sensitive. Leading a hectic lifestyle and stress is some of the factors contributing to this change. I would say having sensitive skin would be unpleasant and annoying. If you have sensitive skin, don't go around using just any products to your skin. Make sure to apply suitable skincare for your skin to make it better. Since I am a huge fan of the Hada Labo skincare series, I would recommend Hada Labo+ Sensitive Hydrating for sensitive skin solutions. There is much range of Hada Labo skincare but Hada Labo+ is a specially formulated skincare range to target sensitive skin.  Hada Labo+ not only soothes irritation but also protects the skin from irritation as well as helps strengthen and repair damaged skin barriers. Hada Labo is well known for using the best ingred...

  Gosh! the weather now has gone hair wired. It supposedly isn't this hot in the month of Nov onwards, right. But seriously, it has been freaking hot, nowadays! I don't usually drink ice because it will make me sick. Let me use the hot weather as an excuse to indulge myself with ice cooling drink. Once in a while, I need to stop being too good. Let's enjoy the paradise taste and worry about in hell later. Huh? Recently, a box from Ambrosial reached me. As far as my knowledge this brand is famous for its delicious Greek-Yogurt style drink. I have tried that before, it tasted delicious when drink it, chilled and good for guts too.   The ambrosial box contains : 👉 6 boxes of Yili  Youngfun Milk Flavoured Drink 👉 One Lazy Ghost Squeeze Cup Yili Youngfun Milk Flavoured Drink  The one that reached me is Yili Youngfun Milk Strawberry Flavour. To be honest, I am not a big fan of strawberry milk. Sacrifice my palate for this review. WTH!  How does Yili Youngfun Mi...
