Do you still remember when is the last time you have a good night sleep?

According to a study carried in 2018, nine out of ten Malaysians are suffering from sleep disorders. Fatigue, drowsiness, unable to concentrate, impaired memory, reduce physical strength and weaken immune systems are the symptoms of sleeping disorders.

How dangerous is it?

It can cause a wide range of health problems, namely heart diseases, depression, diabetes, hypertension and severe mood swings.

“I always have trouble falling asleep at night. What can I do?”

I would love to recommend you a health APP called Sleep Cycle. It provides few sleeping aids – bed time stories, relaxing guides, music, poetry and sounds. If you are slightly stressed, Guides are strongly recommended as it is specially designed to calm you down. I have used this app for more than a year and I enjoy it as I can avoid scrolling social medias before I sleep, then get to wake up feeling refreshing the next day with their smart alarm.

“How does Sleep Cycle improve my sleep quality?”

It is an intelligent alarm clock that analyzes our sleep and wakes us in the lightest sleep phase – a natural way to wake up feeling energetic.

There are three types of alarm in Sleep Cycle. From the left, they are smart alarm, the ‘normal alarm‘ with no wake up window, and for the last one, I called in the Weekend Alarm. We always wish to get as sufficient sleep as we can during weekend, right?

A simplified view of my monthly report.

The daily sleep analysis report.

There are more details with graphs and data in the Statistics section and a lot of settings you can customise in the Profile section. Get the APP and discover yourself now! It is available in Apple App Store and Android Play Store.

Zoo Negara, the national zoo of Malaysia, is located at Gombak District. It is only ten mins distance (by car) from Batu Caves. Therefore, I visited both places in one day (Batu Caves in the morning and Zoo Negara in the afternoon). Food in this area is very limited, so I brought some snacks for this trip. If you would like to purchase drinking water, I encourage you to do so in Batu Caves which only cost RM 1 for 500 ml. It costs RM 4 in Zoo Negara and you would not like it.

There are about 400 species of animals in Zoo Negara, and we get to have a close contact to some of the birds. Visiting zoo was amazing, it made me feel like all cartoon characters had turn into life. Thanking myself for making the decision to visit it alone, instead of waiting for the unsure ‘next time’. Majority of my friends did not like to walk for a long time and Zoo Negara is big! According to Wikipedia, Zoo Negara is about 110 acres of land. Apart from that, some of them thought the entrance ticket is expensive.

Well, after I visit the zoo, I can told you that it is worthy! Malaysians: RM 45 Foreigners: It varies from RM 50 to RM 82 Please visit [Zoo Negara official page] to know the details.

Zoo Negara is managed by non-governmental organisation. Few months ago, I read an article saying Zoo Negara was lack of visitors, total income might not be sufficient to cover total expenses. Not sure if the article is true or a fake one, I would love to the team to have more income to continue taking good care of the animals.

The experience of observing animals right in front of us was incredible, it was just like watching a live version of Discovery Channel. It is difficult for me to describe the feelings here and I hope you are going to visit your nearest zoo soon! If you are in Malaysia, please visit our national zoo. It has varieties of rainforest animals. You will be surprised!

I thought I missed the animal show and about to leave. Then I heard mic was on and the MC started to call visitors to join the show. Lucky enough to join the show! Hoping all the animals are treated well. (I am very concerned about animal abuse and afraid trained animals was poorly treated during their training)

Oh, this was how close you can contact with the birds. I could go closer but I dare not to. There are really big! If they straighten their neck, I estimate the tip of their mouth can at least reach my shoulder (I am 164 cm tall).

This was the last trip I had in Selangor before my last semester ended. Mixed feelings when I was on my way back to hostel, thinking of the changes I made since my first day of university until now, from a helpless young adult to a confident young lady. I used to be afraid of being alone in my first year of studies. However as time goes by, I realised the importance of staying alone and I love it! It does not mean that we do not need family, friends or partner. We have to find the balance between spending time with them and with ourselves. Too much social or frequent spending time alone is unhealthy. Hope you have found your balancing point.

This domestic solo trip is a practice of international solo trip to me. Wish to earn enough money to spend a week in other country soon!

Batu Caves is one of the iconic and popular tourist attractions in Selangor. I wanted to visit this place and I postponed it until few months before my last semester ends. WHY? It was because none of my friends were interested. They are either been there before or they did not want to climb 200+ steps.

It was easier than I imagine! And none of my muscles sore the next day. I read comments from Google before I visit Batu Caves and many reviewers claimed that their muscles sore the following day. It scared me a bit. Every step of the staircase is small, even me with foot US size 6 be extra careful when I step on it. Well, enjoy the beauty of colourful staircase and turn around to see the beautiful view!

There is a temple in the cave. During Thaipusam, thousands of devotees and tourist visit Batu Caves. There are two more cave temples at the bottom of Batu Hills – the Art Gallery Cave and Museum Cave. Climbing the Batu Caves is free of charge, but not the Art Gallery and Museum Cave. They are outside the courtyard, just next to the main entrance of Batu Cave.

Art Gallery – RM 5  ;  Museum Cave – RM 15

I visited none of them as I was rushing to my next destination. However, I think they worth visiting and we get to support local tourism at the same time. If you would like to avoid crowds, reach there before 10 am.

I took photos along my way down the hill and I met a kind beautiful lady from Taiwan. She offered to help me taking some photo and shared her experiences travelling in Selangor. She climbed the hill alone while all her friends were waiting for her at the foot of the hill. Wish I had exchange our contact so we can keep it touch! 

There are numerous monkey in Batu Caves, travelers have to be careful with our belongings and please do not litter! As you can see from the last photo, a monkey was holding a soda can using its mouth. Shame on humans, do not know how to throw rubbish into rubbish bin (it’s almost everywhere). If you would like to feed the monkeys, bananas and nuts are available at the stalls along the walkway from train station to Batu Caves side entrance.

This photo was taken at the bottom of Batu Caves hill. The colours were amazingly bringing joy to me. Appreciate this grand masterpiece and huge respect to different culture & religion. I was a lil shy in taking photos alone when I just arrived, as I notice almost all of them were travelling in groups. After a while, I also observed that only a few will notice me taking photos with my tripods ’cause many of them were busy taking photos too! Silly me, for overthinking.

Oh ya, transportation from town to Batu Caves is cheap by Komuter Train (KTM). KL sentral – Batu Caves RM 2.60 by cash; RM 2.30 by Touch n Go. It costs the same for the return tickets.

There are limited restaurants nearby, please eat before visiting Batu Caves and keep some snacks in your bag. Estimated time spending in Batu Caves = minimum two hours. Hope this post helps you.

Cheers!

It has been an amazing workout journey with Avakas Fitness. I joined since September last year until I come back to Kuala Lumpur to continue my studies in April this year. I experienced great improvement on my muscles strength, body mobility and balancing. Avakas is a strength and conditioning gym, ain’t a typical gym with various machines nor cross-fit gym. The main reason I chose Avakas at the first place was its professional coaching with affordable price. First trial is free of charge! Every session lasts between 1 to 1.5 hours.

Monthly gym membership: RM 150 (adult), RM 135 (student) 6-Month gym membership: RM 810 (RM 135 per month) Yearly gym membership: RM 1,500 (RM 125 per month) Single walk-in: RM 15 (adult), RM 10 (kid)

Before joining Avakas, I went to a typical gym nearby my house with RM 125 membership per month and I arranged my own workout routine (basically just playing around with the limited machines). Although the gym provides free class like aerobics dance and boxing classes, the time set could not fit into my schedule. I left the gym after trying for a month. Going to Avakas after work sparked my dull working life. A place I found joy and love, most importantly get to mentally relax and burn calories at the same time. I called it an adult playground (kids are welcomed by the way).

I joined a 3-month Accountable Buddy Support (ABS) System competition held by Avakas this year. Apart from additional intense training, I made new friends and got back in contact with my secondary school friends! It is a good place to make friends whereby we always motivate each other. If you do not like to socialize or you prefer coach could 100% concentrate on your workout session, you can choose to be trained personally at your preferable time. The coach will ‘customize’ your workout routine based on your fitness goal too.

Personal Training Package: 6 sessions: RM 570 12 sessions: RM 1,080 24 sessions: RM 1,920

Besides that, Avakas provides corporate training and wedding fitness package as well. Details can be found in their Facebook page: @AvakasFitness. If you are currently struggling in achieving your fitness goal, do not know how and where to start, please consider Avakas Fitness! Since it’s free for the first session, just make an appointment and try it! Hope to see you there!

Business hours: Weekdays 0600-1300, 1500-2100 Saturday 0600-1200, 1400-1600 Closed on Sundays and public holidays (Peak hours: Weekdays 1800-1900)

P/S: Members of Avakas Fitness are entitled for a free physiotherapy session at Synergist (right next to Avakas) and it is transferable. Isn’t it nice? *smirk*

Langkawi island is one of the popular islands in Malaysia which attract tourists from overseas as well as the locals. It is known as the Jewel of Kedah.

Panorama Langkawi is a park with numerous adventure activities. It is a must-go attraction when you visit Langkawi island. In my opinion, it is not as adventurous as I thought, however cable car and sky bridge are worth going!

They have the steepest cable car ride on Earth and it takes us to the top of Machincang mountain. The view from the top is fascinating! Besides that, there is a post box by POS Malaysia at the top station. We are able to post a postcard from the top of the mountain! Isn’t that cool?

SkyBridge

About 700m above sea level, the SkyBridge is the longest free span and curved bridge in the world. There are few pieces of glass along the way which you can view the forests from the bottom of your feet. Remember to take off your shoes when you step on the glass! Entrance Fees: RM5 for adult, RM3 for child.

3D Art in Paradise

Featuring more than one hundred 3D paintings and artistically painted by renowned artists, 3D Art Langkawi is the largest 3D art musuem in Malaysia. I spent almost two hours there to take photos and enjoy the stunning paintings. Truly amazed! Entrance Fees: Malaysian adult RM30, child RM20 International adult RM38, child RM28

There are more activities in Panorama Langkawi like SkyRex, SkyDome, SkyGlide, SkyTrail, 6D Cinemotion, Time Travel and SkyAdventure Park. Apart from SkyTrail and SkyAdventure Park, I tried the rest of them and below are my quick reviews. SkyRex: Fun story line but the duration is short. SkyDome: Feeling dizzy after watching the video, uncomfortable seat. SkyGlide: Faster and more convenient way of visiting SkyBridge. Fees needed. SkyTrail: If you enjoy walking, take the walk and the entrance is FREE! 6D Cinemotion: The hall was a lil smelly when I was visiting and the glasses were full of sketches. Time Travel: Kids’ favourite I guess. It was quite boring for me. Haha SkyAdventure Park: Rent and ride ATV, fatbike or COMOS around the park with guidance. Of course, special rates are required for each transportation. It seemed fun but I did not get to experience it due to time constraint.

Taadaa! This is a photo taken from the glass on the SkyBridge. If you are Langkawi in the near future, please consider Panorama Langkawi. You only need to visit it once (’cause you will find it boring for visiting the second time. Hahaha) Choose any of the available packages that suit you to save more costs.

Tips for visiting Langkawi: 1. Cenang beach is the most attractive beach in Langkawi. Crowded area with breathtaking view. 2. Plenty of mamak stalls (Indian restaurant), few Chinese restaurants. 3. Black sand beach, small and you have to dig sand to see the black sand. I would rate the view for 3/10. 4. Accommodation in Langkawi is considered cheap. Affordable!

If you are planning a budget trip in Malaysia, 3D2N in Langkawi will do! After that, you can continue your journey to Penang Island, which is less than an hour flight from Langkawi. There are cheap street food and more fun attractions in Penang. Have fun!

Sekeping Serendah, Selangor

Glass Box 1

If you are considering to live in a jungle but wish to have better facilities (compare to building camp), I strongly encourage you to stay in Sekeping Serendah.  Since it is a jungle, it is located in a remote rural area. You can only find few houses and a petite convenient store along the way.

What to bring?

Toiletries

Bath towel

Torch light

Insect repellent

Swimming suit

Jacket or…

This is their Instagram page. Follow them to know their weekly menu!

Every meal cost RM 13 and there is no extra delivery charge. If you provide them your own containers, you will get RM 1 off. Be environmental friendly and enjoy the discount!

Crews are friendly and considerate. They will try to deliver meals according to their customers’ preferable lunch time. Their delivery time starting from 11 a.m. and ends around 1 p.m. In my case, Michelle (one of the crews, probably the boss) would confirm I receive my meal every time, because she is not the one delivering.

These were the meals I ordered.

Looks like it’s not enough for you? Nah! That was what I thought when I first receive my meal. However, when I finished the whole set, I realized the portion was just perfect. The meat was sufficient and sometimes slightly more than enough for me (which is good,’cause I love meat. Hahaha).

Mixeat is close on Monday, and open for business on Tuesday until Friday only. In addition, they will post their weekly menu on Sunday.  Just drop a message to them when you wish to make an order. They reply within minutes!

In overall, I enjoy their food as well as their services. I believe you will like it too! I decided to share this because it is difficult to get healthy meal with delivery service and I hope more people get to know them. This is not a paid advertisement tho. Ahah!

  It was fun riding on your own! If you are inexperience, don’t worry!

By the way, they provide hotel picks-up and you can request the driver to stop at location that you wish to go after your tour ends.

We all rode ourselves. I believe you can too!

(p/s: Leader rides this car, we don’t)

We stopped at The Big Buddha for about an hour. Some of us walking around taking photos, and of course enjoying the view from high sea level; while the rest paid a visit at the temple. No shorts are allowed in the area, so females have to cover their knees with a piece of cloth. However, men do not need to. If you wish to borrow the cloth, it is fine too! Borrowing the cloth is free of charge, you can choose to donate some money when you return their clothes. The workers are friendly!

It looked neater when everyone was wearing the cloth.

You were all set! (Right in front of the entrance of The Big Buddha)

We were asked to stop at this spot to take group photos. Isn’t that amazing?

Riding in a big group was truly blessed and joyful!

If there’s any chance you travel to Phuket, Thailand, you can consider ATV adventure. On the side note, please do not support their elephant riding activity. I personally think that it was cruel to support this kind of activity, so please have fun without hurting animals!

Asians being Asians, they don’t keep a clear walkway as an emergency lane. Asians beings Asians, they couldn’t take it when others talk bad about them but at the same time they allow themselves to criticise others. Asians being Asians, they are super duper close-minded as they think that they are always right. Well, NOT ALL the Asians are typical Asians like I mentioned above. There are…

1. Ethnology Museum

Address: Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg, Taman Budaya, 93400 Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia

In my humble opinion, this is one of the best museum in Kuching. They have a mini cinema to show the beliefs of two major ethnics in Sarawak. The stories were really cool! They way they present information using few high-technology gadgets may increase your interest in knowing more. You should go and find it out. The interior design is modernized although the exterior looked historical.

Entrance Fee: None.

2. Sarawak State Museum

Address: Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg, Taman Budaya, 93400 Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia

Sarawak State Museum is the oldest museum in Borneo. The interior design remains classic and without any air-conditioner. Please be prepared to sweat few seconds after you enter until you leave the building. They had traditional house modals and Shell exhibition on petroleum industry in Sarawak. There are too many information you can get over here. Besides that, no one is allowed to take photos inside this museum (so we had few photos outside).

Comparing to Sabah State Museum, I prefer Sabah State Museum where I feel comfortable (not sweaty and sticky) and read all the information provided. At the same time, Sabah State Museum has clean washroom which is free of charge! Nevertheless, Sabah State Museum does collect entrance fee but Sarawak State Museum does not. Please do not hesitate to donate some money for the government to keep their museums tho. <3

3. Natural History Museum

Address: Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg, Taman Budaya, 93400 Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia

There is nothing much over there. It looked big and you must be estimating that it was going to be a nice museum, but the truth is just opposite of what you can think of it. It is air conditioned but you barely get any new information over there.

Entrance Fee: None.

4. Textile Museum

Address: 5, Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg, 93000 Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia.

It’s located just opposite of the main post office in Kuching. The post office can be one of your favorite places to take photos. Sadly, my boyfriend does not like/know how to take nice photos, so I do not have any photo at that place! Back to the topic, the textile museum is a little creepy for me. They used too much of human modals to show traditional weaving, especially in a dimmer room.

Entrance Fee: None.

5. The Cat Museum

Address: Bangunan DBKU, Bukit Siol, Jalan Semariang, Petra Jaya, 93050 Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia.

The place where you can buy souvenirs for your friends and family. If you love cats, you definitely will love this museum as they have plenty of collections and information about cat.

6. Fort Margherita and Brooke Gallery

Address: Petra Jaya, 93050 Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia.

It’s another amazing museum in Kuching! You can learn about the Brooke history in Sarawak and there are numerous locations, inside and outside the building, which can be great places to take pictures!

In short, enjoy reading the materials in every museum and take pictures as much as you can ’cause you may not want to visit Kuching again. Okay, maybe if you do, you might want to go back for food instead of visiting the museums again. Anyway, I had a great time staying in Kuching for four days three nights. I wish you all could have a pleasant visit to Kuching too!

Stay tuned.

Review: It has a peaceful and quite environment however the price of food and beverage are slightly high. A number of tables is covered with blank paper and given a cup of crayons which allow customers to draw. You can stay in the cafe for the whole afternoon as the scorching sun is gonna give you sunburn. For photographers, Old Courthouse can be one of your favorite places to take photos. It was the administrative centre of Sarawak government back in 1870s.

Review: This is one of the cake houses in Kuching where you can buy kek lapis. They bake a variety of kek lapis and also provide samples for customers to taste them. However, you need to go across Sarawak River to reach Mira Cake House. The shop is quite warm and the exterior wall of the shop is painted red. It was somehow irritating (eyes hurting!).

P.S: Rated three out of five for the tastiness ’cause I am not a fan of kek lapis.

For those who wish to try seafood in East Malaysia with a low budget, you are greatly encouraged to visit Top Spot Kuching.

Review: My boyfriend and I had a very bad experience dining in this restaurant. We waited two bowls of mee for an hour! He reconfirmed our order with the chef after 30 minutes of waiting, the chef told him that the next order he was going to prepare was ours(and showed the paper which our order was written). However, after 15 to 20 minutes, we had not receive our order but newly came customers got theirs! We were mad and asked the chef for our mee again. At that moment, the chef was unable to find the paper with our order and claimed that the paper flew away, he did not prepare the mee for us. He knew we were frustrated as we stayed in his restaurant for almost an hour, so he took our order once again, then immediately cooked for us. Moreover, the staffs were unfriendly and service was bad. According to websites, it is one of the best kolo mee in town, but you need to be extremely patient if you wish to have a meal in this restaurant. They have poor management.

Review: There were only few stalls open in the morning (around 9 AM). Red kolo mee at Sin Lian Shin taste slightly better than that at Hock Heng. Besides that, soy milk is smooth and its sweetness is perfect.

Review: There was no queue as mentioned over the internet when I arrived or I was simply lucky? It was too sweet for me and the ice cream melt fast. Only two toppings are available: peanuts or cornflakes, nonetheless, they offer different favor everyday. For your information, gula apong is palm sugar.

Night- The seafood market next to Open Air Market

  There are numerous seafood stalls in the market. We had our dinner around 6.00 p.m. and only three seafood stalls were opened.

Food ordered: Butter prawn, chili frogs, deep fried squid and sweet leaf bush with eggs.

Review: Butter prawn and sweet lead bush were awfully salty. Salts could be clearly seen on the fried butter. Comparing to the saltiness of butter prawn, that of sweet lead bush with eggs was bearable, at least it tasted better when we ate it with rice.

Review: Chicken within the bun was tough. I could not divide the bun into half using hands, it was not chewy at all. The sauce used for chicken pau was very similar to pork pau (big pau). If you are allowed to eat pork, you may try their pork pau. Apart from that, red bean paste was filled only half of a bun and the paste was dry. Sio bee was small and not juicy. Last but not least, ha kau this restaurant served was not purely prawn. Ha kau is supposed to be made by 100% prawn. They mixed prawn with pork, I barely tasted prawn in the ha kau.
