The Balcony Bar & Restaurant, Johor Bahru

Hey guys! Here's another foodie goodie update. I have been eating a lot recently and this is one of the places I've been to. The Balcony Bar & Restaurant, Johor Bahru! I really love the interior of this place. So pretty and cozy. I have one big regret though. I should have gone to this place at night! I swears this place looks prettier at night when all the lights are on. I ordered a few dishes for myself #obese and my brother ordered chicken chop. Here are the photos!

Renaissance Johor Bahru Hotel

Hello guys! I've gone on a vacation recently to JB and Singapore. I guess some of you should know from my instagram posts. During my stay at JB, I got the opportunity to try out the buffet dinner at the newly opened hotel called Renaissance Hotel. It's really really nice compared to all other hotels in JB. I've always got this thought that the hotels in JB are kinda "dirty", in a superstitious way lah cos they're old and got this weird smell when you enter the hotel lolol... I think this hotel is around a year old and they maintained this hotel well.. really worth the visit.

So, there's this cafe called Cafe BLD if i'm not mistaken which serves buffet dinner. I'm a big eater, and I'm always with "generous" appetite lol. I can eat up to 6-7 meals per day #nojoke. First of all, I'd really like to compliment on the service by the waiters and waitresses here. DAMN FRIENDLY omg felt like home. And again, no weird stinky smell of the furniture.

So of cos, the first section I went to was the dessert area. I'm kinda disappointed to be honest cos they're so..... ordinary. lol. Nothing special lah but I sapu all the ice creamsssssssss cos the cakes were not appealing. Okay I'll let the pictures do the talking..

Actually I liked the place more than the food. Seriously the environment is so nice that you can just fall asleep while walking. lol. The bar next to the cafe was really nice though. can play snooker some more. hahaha. K lah that's all for now. Damn hungry omg gonna grab supper now. SEE YOU GUYS & TAKE CARE. x
PS: GUYS Gimme some ideas on what to blog about. I'm so out of topic that I might consider blogging about food ONLY in the future.

First time tour at Sarawak Cultural Village

GREETINGS! haven't been hardworking enough with my blogging life. That's because I've got so little to blog about. I've been spending my time at home, and if not I'll just be out in a cafe drinking tea. HOW BORING RIGHTTT... So little things to do back at Kuching, and that's how this random plan got into me.

I'm thinking to start doing videos. I've been having this thought since so long ago but I'm just too timid to expose my face unedited in real time videos LOLLL. lack of self confidence :(

Anywayyyyyy, some of my friends visited in in Kuching. It was supposed to be a trip to this beach in Kuching called Damai Beach, but it got so boring and coincidentally the Sarawak Cultural Village was just next to the beach. Just fyi, the sSrawak Cultural Village is also the venue for the Rainforest World Music Festival, an internationally renowned festival! I've been to that festival once on a Sunday, and it wasn't fun at all. Maybe it'd be better on Saturday? lol

So, me and my friends got to the beach in the afternoon, a better time for the best lighting for camwhoring! lololll but it got so hot and everyone got exhausted in less than 30 minutes. So we just sat around then ended up deciding to go to the Srwk Cultural Village. I can't really recall the admission fee but, I think it's cheaper if you're a student in Malaysia, and if you're a Sarawakian then it'd be even cheaper. lol so bias idk what how is this even 1 Malaysia. It was around 20 bucks per entry for me i think. and if you're from elsewhere it's definitely more than 50 bucks per entry. I didn't take much photos though cos I was busy hunting for airconditioned places THE WEATHER WAS FREAKIN HOT!

Here are some of the photos I took... There are a few houses to visit in the village but I only took pictures of two houses SORRYYY...

PENAN! he was so fierce omgggggggggggg

they said only guys live in this place

random flowersss

the entrance! :D

you get this passport tooooo and you'll get chops for each ethnic house you visit.

I swear the place looks better in real life. Do come visit if you're ever in Kuching! Till next timeeeee, stay happy! :D

a brief update

Hi guys. I know I disappeared for more than a month. Was facing all sorts of dilemmas and tbh, I was kinda disturbed and shaky to the extent that I almost er,............. yea. I have so many thought of my own that I find it hard to compromise sometimes. All I can do now is hide and avoid reality. Not the wisest choice I know but this is my personality since I was small I guess.

Recently I received a text msg from somebody that I used to know lolol. Not really the type of msg I would look forward to receiving but I somewhat felt warm and contented idk why. I don't even know how to continue writing now because I should not share my private life with y'all, well at least not without filtering. All I can say now is I shall never do things that will cause me repentance or shed even one drop of tear. Life goes on, but I do hope one day things would be better than how they are now.

My facial experience

HEY GUYS! sorry for the inconsistent blog posttt. MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH! I've been so busy with exams lately. You guys know how everything becomes so serious and tense during exam period. Anyway, I'm DONE WITH UNI and I'm definitely most happy about it !




Moving right along, I've received an offer from Grantonworld quite long ago actually on a facial trial at Murall Beauty House. GRANTONWORLD is a lifestyle website that offers daily promos. A website where you can get great deals and huge discounts on products and services. Here at GRANTONWORLD you should live more for less! Pretty much like Groupon really, except that it has better deals on food and services in my opinion ! Anywayyyyyy, back to the topic. I'm really unfamiliar with this facial with deep sea salt therapy tbh..



So, what is this therapy about?



ANSWER: Utilizing latest technologies from Japan, Besem machines deeply fibroblasts skin to remove impurities, providing relief for skin conditions such as neurodermatitis, psoriasis, and much more. Stress and anxiety melt away into pools of nothingness during shoulder massages and multiple mask applications, before dead sea minerals that include bromide, sodium, bitumen, and sulphate collaborate to exfoliate visages for smoother and more refined skin. Ending calming facials and rolls of relaxation, therapists apply toner, moisturizer, and sunblock to newly refreshed faces before sending clients out into the world once again.




AND OF COURSE, all the information above are copy pasted. Ain't that pro to write a description as such. But I'm really impressed with the overall things that they done to my face. They used multiple cleansers, then exfoliated my skin, then the typical extraction method, then some fancy mancy machine technique, then multiple masks. Just saying that is a mouthful really, but thats not all! I had the most wonderful shoulder and face massage and i swearz after the massage my face got lifted and reduced by at least 1cm on each side LOLLL #nojoke




Here's a post-facial picture. *blingbling*

Lies.. or is this just life?

HEY GUYS ! I’M DONE WITH UNI ! omg time flies and now it’s either I start working or continue studying. To be honest, I have not planned my future properly, but what I really hope is what I’m about to do will make me happy or else by the end of the day nothing would really pay off when you don’t feel happy at all.

Speaking of which, I came to realise that success isn’t about being rich and famous, but it’s really about happiness. If you don’t feel happy, all the effort you put in would not be worth it by the end. So what if you have a highly paid job and work so hard only to see your savings increase from day to day? Even if so, I won’t be happy seeing my bank grow when I’m doing a work that I dislike. Of course, nothing can be achieved within a day. All good things come with hard work, but it’ll never be achieved without supports from your family and friends.

The worst thing that could ever happen is when someone says “Go ahead and do whatever you like, I will NOT support you” to your face. If you’re too afraid to stand for yourself because you care too much for other people’s feelings, then just leave everything to God. Keep all the hatred and disappointment to yourself because nobody would understand. Pray every night so that He knows what you wish for isn’t a bad thing and maybe things would go the way as you planned.

People often tell me I’m always thinking negatively about things. Yea who knows things might turn out good right? Well, I always hope for the worst because I hate disappointments. I’d rather not put hope than to fall down from the 900^th floor. Maybe that's why I'm always anti-social because I'm afraid I might just burst out to anger or tears when people start to dig out my inner feelings. To you guys out there, please stand for yourself and reach for your dreams. Prove people wrong and show that you're actually different from all other ordinary people.

Anyway, I’m sure some of you have already graduated too. What r your plans? Share with me. I’d love to hear from you guys. BE STRONG! See y’all next time..xx
