Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone!

I always believe that good nutrients are the best gift you can provide for your body. I mean it is an undeniable fact that food is the fuel and building block that keeps us going. I like to consume as much good nutrients right at the start of my day which is in the morning. Not saying I am all saint when it comes to consuming. There are days that I go and eat not-so-healthy food for the sake of cravings LOL. However, I try my best to ensure I make as much good decision when it comes to what I put in my body.

The easiest, most efficient way that I found is by consuming VHalia. It is packed will all the good nutrients plus it also provides good energy for me. Instead of my usual nasi lemak or fried mee hoon for breakfast, I decided to enjoy VHalia. I no longer have to make an extra stop before going to work for breakfast. I just have the big pack of V-Halia Convenience Pack in my office. Talk about being convenient. Also I get to save money in the long run. You see, a pack of V-Halia Convenience Pack which contains 8 individual packets cost RM10.90 and that is like RM1.40 per consumption. Definitely more cost effective than my nasi lemak ayam merah hahahaha.. I also have the 1kg tin at home for midnight snack and the cost is only RM49.90 for 1kg. Super affordable and jam-packed with nutrients. Totally a big win for me.

Hong Dae Kimbap Kota Damansara |Honest Review|

Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone!

Korean street food and Noodle menarik di Kota Damansra. Ada peminat k-pop ke kat sini? Illy takda lah minat k-pop tapi kami satu family suka makan. We all quite adventurouswhen it comes to makan. I bet more than 50% of Malaysian memang suka makan. Anyway, nak cerita ni kitorang jumpa tempat makan korea best kat Kota Damansara. Nama kedai dia HongDae Kimbab. Lokasi dekat shop lot sebelah sunway nexus giza.Tapi tolong kedai ni macam tersorok sikit. Kalau nak senang dia betul belakang sushi mentai.

Susah juga nak cari Korea shop yang tak serve pork. Happy jumpa this shop sebab nampak memang authentic dia punya korea. Sebab Chef pun macam dari Korea. Masa ambik order tu ada datang staff dia punya lah handsome hahaha… anak dara i tersipu2. Illy takda lah sebab bagi i, husband i lah paling handsome dalam dunia LOL

Fun and Educational Outdoor Activities with Kids

Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone!

As parents, my husband and I have always been trying to find ways to have fun yet educational activities with our kids. Time is very precious, we do understand that this early stages of childhood is very important in shaping their character and how they see the world also developing interest. This is why we tried to give them as much variety of experience. Like many other working parents, we only have around 8 days a month (2 days every weekend) to spend time with them. In total it is only 96 days in a year. I really wish we could spend more time than that with them.

Well, instead of complaining it is best to be grateful. 96 days a year is luxuries compared to those only have to work abroad and get way lesser time than that with their kids. Putting that aside, I just like to share with you some ideas on how we make a full use of the precious time we had.

1) Jogging and Exploring Parks.

We like to bring them to many parks. It is fun because they can to explore. Learn about types of trees and flower. Also, we figured out about nature healing. Living in the cities does make it challenging. However, there are still very nice parks all around KL and Selangor that you can check out. One of our top pick would be Taman Lembah Kiara at TTDI, because it is very near to our home and they have nice 2km jungle walk with well-maintained terrain. Other than that, you can opt for Taman Wetland Putrajaya (read about it here) and also rent a bike.  If riding a bike is interesting for you then do not forget to check out FRIM. We have lots of fun in FRIM. The route is bigger and there is also a waterfall if you want to cool down after the ride (check out our FRIM video here). Other than that, you can also go to Taman Botani Shah Alam also known as Bukit Cerakah. The park is very big. There is a small petting zoo where your kids get to feed rabbit and have close encounter with many animals at such an affordable rate (read about it here).

Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone!

I just recovered from break out, along the way I tried using skincare (talk about it on another blogpost) and also at the same time I am consuming this beauty pills called UVporcelain+ by Science on Skin (SOS). As mentioned earlier in my instagram post. It is actually the most expensive pills I ever consumed for beauty purposed. A month supply of 30 capsules cost RM399.

To be completely honest, I have been trying my best to consume it daily. I mean it would not be fair to write a review without testing it diligently. As much that I have tried not to forget eating it daily, I skipped 2 days in total so far. My bad, switch my handbag and forgot to take it with me.

Pengalaman ke Menara Taming Sari, Wajib pergi kalau ke Melaka

Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone!

Baru ni illy pergi Melaka. Sebenarnya banyak kali sangat pergi melaka sebab tu kampung mak mertua illy. Tapi banyak kali balik kampung sekali pun tak pernah pergi Menara Taming Sari. Berjalan ke town melaka memang jarang sangat sebab kalau kitorang balik selalu nya time weekend or time cuti public holiday jadi memang jam kalau kawasan bandar melaka. Tu yang lagi prefer duk kampung, lepak dengan sedara.

Kali ni kami sajer la balik sebab nak melawat mak mertua dan mak sedara yang kat kampung. Fil and BIl keluar 40 hari jadi mak mertua illy balik melaka sebab kalau duk kl pun dia boring. Alang – alang balik, husband illy plan nak bawa lah dorang semua berjalan tu yang pergi Menara Taming Sari.

Let’s switch to Yoodo NOW!

Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone!

I am so excited to share with you about this ground breaking new telco Yoodo. Imagine getting to customize your own plan and pay for only what you really need. To be completely honest, I can’t remember when is the last time I use SMS and I dont see the point of paying for the service when I dont utilise it. For those who travel frequently, imagine paying full amount of your plan but only get to use portion of the service because you are out of the country. This is where Yoodo really suits me. I get to pick what I need and pay only for that. Amazing right?

What if you want to get the simcard. Traditionally, I remember having to take leave and go to the nearest center, take number to que… haih… the whole she bang lah. Well, I am very happy that Yoodo put this into consideration and make it sooo much easier for anyone to get a simcard. You just order it using Yoodo App and then it will be DELIVERED to your doorstep. Didn’t even have to start  the car or find parking hehehe. Also, it is available on all iOs and Android.

Pulling Off the Plug on Facebook

The title says it all. For the past couple of months, I have this unexplained urge to just quit all my social media. The tricky part is it has been so embedded into my life and I am so used to it. Being a part time blogger it makes it harder for me to quit as it is also my source of passive income. Before, I share with you on what I decided to do. Maybe I should share with you on why I am really tempted to do so.

Like many others, I spent lots of my waking time consuming from the net. To be fair, internet is like a big library and we should be using it like a library. Come to it when we need specific data or inspiration and then leave. The thing about it, internet is so easily assessable that some of us do not ever leave. As for me, I spend more time than I should, scrolling and scrolling.
