Hiking at Bear Hill

Posted in Everyday Life, Good Things by

It was my 1st time to Bukit Beruang to hike. Our clinic has this health programme to combat obesity among staff by organizing activities such as running, Zumba and sports. This week we went hiking and Ya Allah.. nak terputus nyawa. I could feel my heart rate elevate and then my body heated. It was a good workout and I am considering going there again sometime in the future, maybe with friends but not kids. It is a bit too strenuous for the little ones.

There are a few entry points to the hill but we went to the one in the residential area which is Taman Melaka Raya. When we arrived at 830am, there were a lot of elderly Chinese folks already going down the hill. They must have started early which is like Wow. It makes me wonder what the other non-Chinese elderly folks do in the morning for their exercise. What would be their chosen activity? Would you know?

We went up the hill using the easy-intermediate level tanah trail and made our way down by the tar trail. Even then, we were already very very exhausted. I could sense the euphoric sense in completing this feat though especially when you’ve gained enough stamina to go on longer and more challenging trails.

Excited chipmunks.

A friend of mine shared a few tips to help us with muscle recovery. Some of her suggestions include;

  • proper warm-up, stretching and cooling down
  • wear appropriate clothes and shoes
  • eat a light breakfast and bring water
  • after the hike, bath in cold water to decompress
  • have high protein food
  • sleep with the legs elevated at night

The next day I did not have any muscle aches at all. It was amazing.

Being noticed

I am putting this screenshot here to remind me that some things are noticeable or discovered much later.

He is the author of the BTS Review book. Although his works are translated into English, I could still understand his analysis of BTS’s core ideas, music influences and style. I created this reel many months ago and honestly, it did not occur to me that people would still be able to watch it in their algorithm.

So, if creating content or self-branding is the way to go in the future, the key is to keep creating and putting up things online. You will be noticed by those who are searching for you.

My PROOF album is here

Posted in Everyday Life, Good Things, Music by

My parcel from the Weverse Shop is finally here. The PROOF album is finally here and I was wishing very hard that I will get some random Suga pic or something and I got his signed SOEM code card. I also got a Jungkook and a J-Hope. Both the golden maknae and golden Hyung. I feel so lucky. Have been listening to a lot of ‘Hope World’ lately. It lifts up the mood for the whole week. Of course, we also have pics of the other boys too. But can never beat the feeling of scoring a Yoongi card.

I was elated.

I was over the moon.

I was gushing with happiness.

It was a very euphoric experience to pull out such a cute card from the album. I mean Weverse, how did you guys know???

I cannot wait for the weekend when I can focus fully on flicking through the photos and immerse myself in the music. I am aware that we can stream their music on Spotify but to own something so monumental in a boyband’s career is sooooo.. ummphhh.

I recorded a longer unboxing video and planning to compile it into my Special Suga episode on YT.

My list of beauty mask sheets

Posted in Beauty Products, Good Things, Reviews by

Ever since this post, I have been more adventurous in using mask sheets from other brands. The list keeps growing. Some sheets like the one from The Saem have thin sheets like Etude House. EKEL’s ones are much thicker. I dislike the ones with honey. The scent is just overbearing. Regardless what brand. It is just not for me.

I use these masks on nights I don’t apply Retinol on my face. Or on days when I have been in the sun for quite some time like gardening or work-related outreach programmes. I bought all of them from various Shopee stores. My favourite so far is a store called Beautybabes. Which ones have you tried? Any favourites?

Some By Mi – glutathione, hyaluron, vitamin

Etude House – Pearl, hyaluronic acid, collagen, madecassoside, white flowers, ceramide, aloe, cherry blossom

TONYMOLY – cucumber, caviar, propolis, blueberry, coconut

EKEL – aronia, red ginseng

Nature republic – chamomile, royal jelly, rose, raspberry

MISSHA – honey, rice

GOodal – raspberry, citron,

THe Saem – pomegranate, argan

INNISFREE – ginseng, lime

A’PIEU – pineapple

With You –

The noonas goin Jimin-aaahhh, Jimin-aaaahhh

Love the melody but the lyrics are bittersweet. Otherwise, it would have been a great song for weddings.

My heart is beating cause of you

Forever and ever and ever

Only you can take my heart
