super realistic what I eat in a day & bubble tea instant noodles?!

Something different is brewing in today's post! 

I have decided to revive a forgotten hobby _ video making! Instead of forcing myself to make videos on subject I'm not comfortable in, I choose to record and share things that I do during the whole lockdown _ attempting to cook! I can cook basic stuff, but have been privilege not having to until the pandemic. The first few months last year I was eating plenty of instant noodles and dry food since I don't do much food delivery orders. It's only in the recent months that I have decided to be healthier by brushing up my dusty skills on how to buy and cook using variety of ingredients.

I'm trying to plan my content "in season" for my YouTube channel as a way to encourage myself to create more videos. So I'd be like making 2-5 videos of different series before deciding if I really want to continue producing contents.

Speaking about series or the genre I'm producing, I have several in mind. The #whatieatinaday will probably be the most frequent one considering I try to cook daily & on weekends if not every other days. Then you've seen me posted on my review for the L'oreal Excellence Fashion in 10.11 Crystal Ash in just the last blog post. Beauty products reviews will still be one of the subject I write so when possible, I'd also produce some videos. I have a few other ideas which is essentially things I do during the lockdown that you may (hopefully) see them posted on my channel this month.

Meanwhile, do check this video out! Definitely give me some feedback or suggestions on new but simple recipes by leaving a comment on my blog posts or YouTube channel, I'd love to hear from you!

Hope you enjoy the video I've made and thank you for watching ( v^-ﾟ )

reflecting on 2018 & welcoming 2019

In just a few hours, it will be the New Year, oh how scarily fast time flies when you're adulting! As much as I would love to clear my other blog drafts before the new year begin, things have been so hectic the past weeks and I even fell sick. I finally had some time for myself early this week but with work still constantly at the back of my head *sigh* Nevertheless, 2018 has been a quite an amazing journey for myself so I am crossing my hands 2019 will be kind to me as well!

Anyways, this post is just me looking back into 2018 and counting my blessings. There were bad things such as how I contracted dengue but that showed how I am surrounded by people who cared about me. Of course,even my parents overfed me while I was recuperating at home. In many ways, I feel loved and blessed.

The other random highlights of my 2018 life, not in specific order are:- 

#1 Okay, not something I did in 2018 but rather something I managed to do _ I completed my Bali & Singapore's Travelogues woohoo!!

#2 I bought a DSLR and took lotsa photos! Our relationship is still going strong hahahaha

#3 tried Merchants' Lane cafe for the first time with my homies

#4 Explored several parks in KL & Selangor such as Taman Botani in Shah Alam, Lake Gardens, Desa Park, Kota Damansara Community Forest Park and early this week, Serendah Waterfall. I super love being in contact with nature. In case y'all never heard, shinrin yoku aka forest bathing is a natural therapy involving spending time in nature to promote self-healing. It works for me especially when I feel so stress up thinking about work but the moment I spend time just looking at trees and flowers or dipping my legs into streams and waterfall, I feel so calm.

#5 Speaking of shinrin yoku, Japonisme is back and they are such fascinating concepts such as Ikigai, Kintsugi and more (there are books of these titles which I totally wanna read!). Japan is freaking awesome! Of course, Japonisme revolves around a whole lot more such as art, sculptures and architectures but I'm more fascinated with the cultures and ideas which can be put into practice in our everyday life.

#6 Went on a random 2D1N trip to Cameron Highlands. Sharing my Cameron Highlands' itinerary & budget in case y'all planning for vacays! Because I had a lot on my plates this year, I decided to hold all international travel which is quite a bummer! This may continue until 2019 IDK but I really am missing Japan a lot *sniff*

#7 I did explore quite a few local spots, one of them Tadom Hill Resort with my colleagues. It's a small recreational spot but we had great fun playing human size jenga and some of us jumped into the man-made lake

#8 Probably the coolest thing ever _ I attended an Indian wedding for the first time! Check out how it went. I find the ceremony truly fascinating and eye-opening.

#9 my old friends, Daniel and Naoko came down from England for a visit & I met their baby, Nagisa-chan for the first time! Aside from the lovely family, two other friends from Australia and another from the Netherlands were around for a visit and we hung out. I feel grateful that they remember and took some time to hang out with me albeit their short visit. I also find it funny how whenever I think of them, they'll somehow always end up contacting me soon after!

Of course, there are great friends living locally whom I wish we could meet up more often but everyone is busy with their lives. Still, I can always count on them for being there! *virtual hugs* It's just like the quote about how "Good friends are like stars. You don't always see them but you know they're there". I tried looking for other quotes but I think this is the closest way to describe them.

#10 Attended another of my gal pal and ex-colleague's wedding, such a pretty bride!

#11 Ate a lot of durians when durian runtuh, literally.


#12 I discovered Hermo, the ultimate online beauty shopping haven

#13 went to the 2018 Bon Odori in Shah Alam for 2 consecutive years

#14 Decluttered my room. Still working on being a minimalist!


#15 Discovered thrifting, namely in Kedai Bless and ReFash


#16 I discover a love for nude shade lippies and eyeshadow. Wanted to write about them but I didn't have the time! Soon!!


#17 One of the many things in my head these days are the topic about sustainability and nature. By now you've probably heard me mentioned about this several times now. I noticed in the past few months, there were more brands and companies supporting the concept of recycling which is great news! From the ban of plastic straws, to a garment brand accepting bras recycling, to Uniqlo's recycling program and even 1 Utama Mall's electronics recycling. The list goes on. Totally supporting this movement and I hope this practice be a long term goals for many.


Those are pretty much what I can recount for now. Until the next post, wishing y'all all the best for 2019! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Happy National Day Malaysia & My Borneo Travel Wishlist

In 2018, I find my curiosity for the mysterious island of Borneo in East of Malaysia) piqued. My trip to Kuching, the capital city of Sarawak in 2016, my BFF's obsessiveness to want to try butod or sago worms, plus the experience of living with a housemate coming from Sabah who kept telling us West Malaysians hommies that we are so ignorant to not differentiate between Sabah and Sarawak _which is so-o-o true and that they don't stay in treehouses _ okay, we finally get it.

Besides that, I also came across "Original Sabahan" song & festivals such as Pesta Nukenen a.k.a. Bario Food Festivals and so forth. These all made me want to visit Sabah and returned to Sarawak so badly.

If you have been to Sabah & Sarawak or are locals, what would you recommend?

In conclusion guys, sempena Malaysia's 62nd National Day, I like to advocate for Malaysians to learn more about our countries' hidden beauty and encourage y'all to go on Cuti Cuti Malaysia  because there are just so many amazing things in our beautiful country!

On top of that, I think that if our PM, Tun Dr M can  do the dasar pandang ke timur (Malay for "Look East Policy", which means to use Japan as an example to run the country) then he can also include Sabah & Sarawak in this dasar because the people are more peace-loving and harmonious like the real 1Malaysia concept. The latter just need to stop hating people of West Malaysia, seriously. My Sabahan hommie also need to stop suka suka wrongly using the phrase "nia lah". I'm gonna digress _ to back up my dear fellow Western/Peninsular Malaysians, we don't hear that much of you guys from the East. And you don't speak some of Western/Peninsular dialects either.

I know I always say stuff like Japan this, Japan that, I love Taiwan, the Nusa Islands are beautiful yada yada yada" but deep down, I love Malaysia! There's no other place which has so many good food. Like, tell me which country you can go hang out at mamak at 2am! Personally, I'm so making conquering East Coast and Eastern Malaysia my goals. You'll probably read about that on my blog in the near future!

To end this ramblings, sharing with ya the video of "Original Sabahan"

Tadom Hills Resorts in Banting & other things I've been up to in June

Just when I thought I should rest after my mini Cameron Highlands trip, I received an announcement that my team (at work) will be going to Tadom Hill Resort in Banting as part of our team building session. The news came like just a few days after Cameron Highlands and a day before I am attending my friend's Indian wedding. No wonder I've been feeling tired these days!

Before heading to Tadom Hill for fun time we first had lunch at Dengkil Seafood Restaurant, a two-storey Chinese restaurant in Banting.

We ordered steamed fresh water fish, stir fried vegetables in a yam basket, shrimp omelette, stir fry Vietnamese lettuce (I think!) and fried cuttlefish rings in salted egg sauce.

Getting to Tadom Hill Resorts

After food, we headed to Tadom Hill Resorts, which is about 15 minutes or less, further from the restaurant. I supposed the only way available is via car or Grab/Uber. The road is very narrow and nearing the resort, bumpy for buses.

Admission Fee & What activities to do

For RM22 per person and a refundable deposit of RM50, you can use facilities such as the giant jenga, bamboo raft and the list goes on!

Available facilities can be used for a fee as below.

Safety vest is also included into the fee and a must when you're planning to dive or even climb on the platform. I was reprimanded for not wearing one when I climbed up the platform even though my intention was simply to snap some photos. I definitely wasn't planning to stand too close to the edge but the staff has a point. According to my colleagues who jumped into the lake, it is very deep so you have been warned!

Tip #1: Try to avoid going on Fridays as the staffs have Friday prayers to attend to which means the resort only opens after 2:30PM. If unavoidable, go later in the evening!

Tip #2: Go with sandals. A lot of time you will be needing to remove your shoes and all the sands will get into them.

I find the facilities there quite decent, the washrooms and toilets are clean so no worries about having to bath and change after leaping into the lake!

For rental of ping pong rackets, volley balls or futsal ball, deposits are required. Most importantly, while small, this place is so Instagram-worthy!

~♡~

Too happening these days, so I decided to include the other things I have been up to in the same blog posts because there are so many other posts to come!

TTDI Ramadhan Market shopping

I love visiting Ramadhan!! This year, I have dropped by the Pasar Ramadhan thrice _ twice in TTDI's and another in Bukit Bintang. Wished I could have gone to the market more often!

My favorite Tepung Pelita. Managed to purchase them the second time I visited the Ramadhan market. The first time they were sold out!

Some random photos I took of 1Utama's Hari Raya decor. It's so pretty!!

Celebrating Dragon Boat Festival with rice dumplings

Don't know why this year gotta be the year I eat a lot of dumpling because my parents dropped by and they bought me chang. A week later, my hommies brought back some homemade Hokkien-style chang she made with her grandmother. Feeling super thankful!

2D1N in Cameron Highlands

Just last weekend, I was at Cameron Highland just to spend the weekend away from oh-so hot Selangor weather. It was a random decision made just two days prior to the trip LOL. I have been to Cameron Highlands on day trips with my family since childhood but this round was sorta a different experience in a way this time I am doing the planning while getting to know about Cameron Highlands. Sharing that with y'all in case you're planning for a trip to Cameron Highlands soon, hopefully you'll find this helpful in your planning.

How to get to Cameron Highlands from Kuala Lumpur

My usual site for bus booking is the Terminal Bersepadu Selatan's website but most of the tickets have sold out by then and the remaining ones were with odd traveling hours. So my travel buddy recommended EasyBook.Com. I decided to get the tickets from the latter and we chose the earliest departure from Titiwangsa Bus Station (accessible by Titiwangsa Monorail Station).

Since we had time, we first have our lunch in Quill City Mall's Roast & Grill.

The bus we took. The sleepy head there just woke up. Face blur like sotong OMG.

I was asleep for the first two hours during which we passed by Bentong and the bumpy, winding ascend from the foot of the hill begin. Somehow, instead of the scheduled 5 hour journey, we ended up traveling for 7 hours! I don't know why, the road was clear. Thankfully, the ride back was just about half the departing time. I actually prefer my couch back, the seats were much more comfortable. Forgot which bus company is that. It's CS Travel.

~♡~

Where to Stay

I stayed in Tanah Rata in a backpackers' hostel called De Cameron. We booked this from Expedia because I couldn't find a room with a good rate from AirBnB with such a short notice. Other site to check is Booking.Com.

The best thing about this place is that this place is just right opposite the Tanah Rata's Fressia Bus Terminal and right beside MarryBrown's. The other thing is this place is just RM37.50 per person, per night which is quite a steal! One room consist of four bunks with curtains if you want privacy and a small cabinet with four lockers enough to put our wallet, camera plus as a temporary souvenirs space. Just a quick introduction of Tanah Rata, it is one of the 3 main towns in Cameron Highlands and the closest to Brinchang and the peak of Cameron Highlands. By taxi, it won't take you 10 minutes to reach Brinchang!

Other hotels you can find around Tanah Rata are:-

Planters Hotel
Same row of dhophouse with De Cameron,  less than 5 minutes away from the taxi stand. Rates unknown.

Sleepbox Hotel
5-10 minutes walk through badly lit road. Around RM40 per person per night.

Tips #1: Of course, there are a lot others you can find in Tanah Rata but with different rates! Aside from Tanah Rata, you can consider staying in Brinchang town even though Tanah Rata's just like 5-10 minutes away from Brinchang's closest touristy spots. While you can find hostels and hotel just everywhere, it is best to book the rooms online, they are usually fully booked on the weekends and public holidays.

Tip #2: Avoid heading to Cameron Highlands especially on the weekends and public holidays. Traffic during these period is terrible!

~♡~

Getting around in Cameron Highlands

Ok, this was tricky! We spent a lot of time walking to save money and mostly because we had trouble finding rides because it was such a packed weekend in Cameron Highlands! Coming back from the Brinchang Night Market, no taxi. At Boh Tea Plantation Center, taxis fully booked, the roads were jammed and no taxi drivers willing to drive from Tanah Rata to Brinchang to fetch us back to Tanah Rata... So on day 2 we spent hours walking! Because of that, we couldn't spend time in the Mossy Forest nor Time Tunnel, two places we really want to check out!

From our backpackers' hostel in Tanah Rata, we weren't prepared and didn't know how to get around. Our host recommended a taxi driver who would take us to both Mossy Forest and Boh Tea's Plantation Centre but for RM150! The same, kind taxi driver told us it is possible to get to these places by taking a bus at the station and stopping at the Honey Bee Farm. From there, we could walk.

We're fine with walking so walk we did. Took us close to 2 hours to reach the centre because we made stopovers to snap photos and all! Because of that, we decided against heading to the Mossy Forest... From the Boh Tea's Plantation Centre back to the Honey Bee Farm took us half the time.


See the road right there? That was where we were heading to!

On the bright side, it meant we could enjoy the scenery and take our time snapping photos along the way which was exactly what we did!



On the way back from the Boh Tea Plantation, we crossed path with several groups of people who has resorted to walking because the cars were barely moving! In fact, several times while walking, we caught up with the same jeep with two little girls inside who kept waving at us, they were so adorable!

One energetic uncle we came across remarked, this is the best way to get up (to avoid the jam) and that he's happy to do the walking LOL! Foreigners walking towards the plantation/mossy forest and between the two towns are a common sight as well.

Tips #3 : Go with groups of 4 to rent taxis or a tour. Unless you and your pals don't mind taking your time and long walks. Though bear in mind of the traffic!

Tip #4 : According to my host at De Cameron, there are no cars for rental but scooters or mopeds. However, I have seen foreigners driving but cannot be sure whether they rented the car before heading up to Cameron Highlands or if they own the car *shrugs*

What to Do in 1 Day & 1 Night in Cameron Highlands

I consider myself being in Cameron Highlands for 1 day and 1 night only because by the time we arrived, it was close to 7PM. Our first destination is the park right beside the terminal for photos before heading to the Brinchang's Weekend Night Market.

 

Visit the Boh Tea Plantation Center or in our case, take a hike!

While walking down towards Time Tunnel, we also stopped by the several markets by the road. There, I found a fruit called buah cinta (this literally translates to "love fruit") which I have never came across before! Out of curiousity, I bought a bunch of four to try. I find their taste pretty interesting, worth trying once. Then probably never again HAHAHAHA. I'm gonna keep this for myself so you guys go try okayss~~

Visit farms and nurseries such as the Bees Farm, Rose Garden, Butterfly Park, Cactus Point and the list goes on!

If you have plenty of time, trek Mossy Forest and go to Time Tunnel Museum. If you got an extra day, consider heading to the Rose Valley and Grapes Farm located further north up Brinchang. Or simply hike up a different trail in the Mossy Forest!

~♡~

What to eat in Cameron Highlands

In Tanah Rata, places to makan includes Kougen Cafe, Capitale Cafe, Jasmine Cafe. AA Curry House (which is really just mamak restaurant), other mamak shops nearby, a Starbucks, The Mossy Forest Cafe and Old Town. Apparently, you can find The Lord's Cafe and some Chinese restaurants but we missed them.


Brinchang's Weekend Night Market which opens from Friday to Sunday.

Warm up with tomyam or herbal steamboat. We dined at Glory 78's Steamboat & Snack Corner, a restaurant right smack between the Brinchang's Weekend Night Market and Tanah Rata.

Ice creams! It's cold, but who cares? They're available from the Brinchang Night Market or the roadsides market.

Lunch plus tea time at Boh Tea's Plantation Center.

~♡~

What to get for souvenirs

Cameron Highland grown vegetables, corns and fruits (such as the buah cinta shared earlier). In one roadside market, I found some durians as well.

Not forgetting the potted flower plants, flower bouquets, cactus, air plants and succulents. If I have my own place, I wanna get hydrangaes! They're so pretty and reminded me of my maiden trip to Japan. I wanna go back to Japan!!!!

If you collect fridge magnets like I do, there are plenty to choose from! I bought Cameron stamp magnets for my fam and myself. I also bought this one animal shaped head and ear warmers. I don't remember seeing this last time I was around with my fam but this round, they're everywhere!

If you love tea, buy some Boh Tea from the Brinchang's Boh Tea Plantation Center. I didn't because the last time I was there (years ago!), I remembered having compare the prices and found the Boh Tea's products cheaper in supermarket in Selangor/KL albeit a minor differences. This time, I took some photos of the products and their prices from the Boh Tea's Plantation Center and then came back to compare. Here are my findings:-

Products	Price at Boh Tea's Plantation Center	Price at Aeon
*Boh Tea's bags in a 40g cannister (in 4 different blends)	RM30	Not Available
Boh Tea's Seri Songket in retail mixed bags of 30's	RM31.80	Not Available
Boh Tea's Gold Blend in 150g cannister	Unknown	RM11.80
Boh Tea's Seri Songket in box of 20's	RM9.50	RM9.50
Boh Tea's Ice tea in pack of 20's (Lemon-Lime/Peach/Orchard Splash flavors)	RM10.85	RM10.84
*Boh Green Tea Latte in pack of 12's	RM14.30	*RM14.05 on promo

which brings me to my next tip,

Tip #5: Consider purchasing Boh Tea's products in your local supermarket instead of the Boh Tea's Plantation Center, the price does not differ much. HOWEVER, you can purchase the 40g cannister in 4 different type of blends or the Green Tea Latte pack, I do not see these in Aeon.

Itinerary & Budget for 2D1N in Cameron Highlands

As you noticed, you can save from 1) dining less in fancy restaurants and cafe and 2) walking in our case LOL. Looking back, I think we should've pre-booked tours or taxi, it is so much more time-saving and convenient! We weren't prepare this time but at least we know now.

Tip #6 : If you a tourists, ensure you have enough local currency. One friendly Singaporean I met told me that the only money changer you can find is at Tanah Rata. So get enough MYR before you get to Cameron Highlands!

~♡~

Temperature in Cameron Highlands

We all know the highlands are generally colder. But I found out in a really painful way that you still need sunblock in Cameron Highlands! I think it was from all the walking involved in my current trip. I didn't feel the heat like when I was in Bali, The Nusa Islands, Singapore or  summer in Taiwan! It boggles me how I ended up with such painful burns and it hurts for days!

Tip #7 : Apply sunblock! 

Tip #8 : Bring jacket to shield yourself from the wind. While it isn't super cold most of the time (like during noon, about 28 degrees Celsius) and you can dress up in sleeveless top and short skirt like I do, it did feel cold at times. Temperature was at 18-21 degrees Celsius in the morning and at night when we were there.

~♡~

In conclusion

It is possible to explore both Tanah Rata and Brinchang towns in 2 -3 days provided that the traffic is smooth (consider going on weekdays!) and if you have transportation to get around. You also save when going in a group of friends or family.

Despite being tired from the hours of walking, we enjoyed our time there! I would definitely love to go back to track the different trails of the Mossy Forest. Cameron Highlands was a great weekend getaway for anyone who wants to get away from the heat and a beautiful place to just relax. Just be mindful of the strong UV rays up the highlands!
