2D1N Stay at Swiss-Garden Beach Resort, Damai Laut, Perak
January 29, 2020
Manjung is very close to the beach, one of the most beautiful sunset view ever. This town is blessed with few strategic locations to enjoy the view - Lumut, Teluk Batik, Marina, Teluk Senangin, Pangkor Island etc.
There is a resort that Haziq and I always looking forward to go and experience.
Swiss-Garden Beach Resort, Damai Laut.
23rd-24th January 2020
23rd-24th January 2020
I was on my post night shift that 23rd, came back from hospital around 11am. Haziq was also on his post night shift, already home 1 hour earlier. His luggage was already packed while mine was not yet though I already separated the stuffs I want to bring.
I sat on the sofa, asking that can I sleep till 12pm, please? (in view of the check in time would be at 3pm). As soon as I woke up, it was already 3pm!
Haziq said I look very tired, he didn't feel good to wake me up. So, there I go, quickly take a shower, packing my stuffs and we were ready the leave for the resort around 4pm. The journey from my apartment was about 30 minutes.
The resort is quite isolated and we need to go through a lonely road far from town to get there. But, once we arrived there, I totally fall in love with the view!! It was amazingggg!
Till next part, I am going to share the view from the pool itself!
If Kuala Lumpur is famous with its infinity pool with the background of KL Tower and KLCC, here you can expect similar view but this time it is the nature! :D
 |
| The entrance |
 |
| Walking to the counter, there are lots of parking available. Since we were there on the first day of school holidays, there were LOTSSS of familiessss! |
 |
| Welcome drink - lemongrass water |
 |
| The route to our room. Most rooms are facing the sea, anyway. Even though ours were with garden view, we could still enjoy the sea view from the balcony. |
 |
| The bathroom - it is open concept. I mean, the sink is at the common area in the room while the bathroom and toilet are separated with glass doors (without lock) |
 |
| Selfie at the big mirror in the room. :D |
 |
| The room - the furniture looks a bit old but still okay I can say :) |
 |
| From the room's balcony - it is the swimming pool! Though there is no direct passage for us to use the pool, but I assume it is quite easy to climb the corridor and swim and slide down without having to go do properly to the pool itself. |
 |
| Another view from the balcony. |
 |
| The pool from the ground floor |
 |
| Another view. |
Since Haziq had a futsal tournament around 6pm+, we didn't do anything particular at the resort yet, except exploring around first to see where is where, etc. There is a private beach that we can access from the resort, but I am afraid swimming at this beach is a bit dangerous as there are lots of jelly fish.
 |
| All parts of the resort are picturesque! |
 |
| The beach. |
 |
| Clean beach :) |
Till next part, I am going to share the view from the pool itself!

I am not the kind of person who really 'celebrate' birthdays. Really. I have been growing with this kind of birthday 'celebration' - mak ayah will wish me happy birthday with some prayers too, then if we are free on that specific day, we will go out for some meal, buy the cake together and if lets say they offer any birthday gifts, we choose together.
So, I can say I suck at birthday surprise, birthday party whatsoever T_T
Got married to Haziq is a point where I learned all these things. Honestly, I am still learning about him, but I kind of sense that Haziq loves surprises. Studying far away from home like me, the different is he loves going back home suddenly without informing the parents in advanced - just to surprise them haha. That's totally opposite to me, where I always update my whereabouts to my parents. :D
But, no worries, marriage is where we learned to appreciate different approaches, different personalities - on how to live with diversity in peace and harmony, I believe.
 |
| Haziq's birthday is on 25th of January. |
I planned to surprise him in the ward (we were both working on that day, duh.) The surprise in charge was informed what kind of brownies I would like and bouquet as well, we agreed to surprise later in the evening - not to disturb his morning and afternoon round. 4pm was the exact time, I assumed there will still be lots of friends in the ward - to share the brownies and the chocolates.
Suddenly, at 12 pm....
To make the story more interesting, the patient he was in-charged on that day need OGDS (means to insert camera to the digestive system to check any bleeding and proceed with intervention to stop bleeding if any).
OGDS can be done in Hospital Manjung actually, but.... right now, we are blessed with only one surgeon --> the surgeon is a Chinese --> 25th Jan is Chinese New Year, so all procedures and operations cannot be done in our hospital as there is no surgeon oncall to supervise them. All selected procedural cases need to be send over to HRPB Ipoh for further intervention.
Haziq: "Hmmm, around 2pm? We already booked the ambulance."
I tried to estimate the time when he would return to Manjung. Hahaha. As I have experienced few ambulance rides to HRPBI, I can asssume 2 hours to go there, 1-2 hours to wait for doctors to review our patient, another 2 hours ride back to the our hospital. That will sum up to at least 5 hours, and he shall return around 8pm, plus minus 9pm.
And to conclude the day, I decided to just celebrate him at home - with some dinner as my shift on that day was from 7am to 7pm, I thought I will have time to organize few decorations here and there. Hahaha.
And guess at what time Haziq returned home?
11.30pm! Hahahaha.
I was 90% sleepy at that time.
I was 90% sleepy at that time.
InsyaAllah I will understand the reality of doctors' working life as I am one of them. But I feel bad that he did not get proper celebration on this day as the first time celebrating it as a husband. :)
Here we go, my surprise-but-not-that-surprise birthday celebration! Haha, though I failed the attempt but alhamdulillah I am satisfied with my effort. Lol *syoksendiri* Will improve myself for the next one :D
Sharing this IG for those searching for surprise presents around Manjung :)

Sunset from My Apartment
January 14, 2020
Have I told you I love being at high place? It can be on the mountains, on the hilly roads... even my previous house in Czech was on the 4th floor - rooftop one.
Now, I am also staying in an apartment unit, on 5th floor, luckily provided with lift. ;)
Though, I think staying in this kind of housing is only suitable for small family or a couple, as there are the bad sides of it - like it is quite hard to buy lots of groceries, limited car parking, no private area for gardening on the ground etc.
But it is still okay for now :) Alhamdulillah, at least I got this beautiful view.
Would love to further describe about the good things and the challenges of staying in apartments etc :)
What kind of housing you would love to try?
For me, I want to try a proper condominium with lots of facilities like gym, pool etc. Maybe when we are blessed with more kids, we are going to settle down with on ground houses later anyway. :)

3 Tips to Get More Cashback via Touch 'n Go eWallet
January 11, 2020
I am a big fan of eWallet. Maybe because I prefer not to bring lots of cash or to withdraw money as well. Or maybe because my phone is always with me. Before the wave of eWallet, I prefer paying via debit card and credit card. Credit card is very tricky if you can't control yourself from impulsive shopping though.
Anyway, Chinese New Year is around the corner, we can expect quite a number of 'promotions' is ongoing. But since I am not that shopaholic, I don't mind much about the sale. -_-' Just, few promotions via Touch 'n Go that attract my eyes are those involve groceries shopping or daily stuffs like toiletries, petrol etc.
In Manjung, I prefer getting my groceries from Tesco and TF, while my husband loves to do so from AEON. Haha, big difference tho. I always have the idea that buying groceries from AEON is only for rich people. But to my surprise, after spending few times doing so with my husband, it is not really true, as long as you know when to buy, do good price comparisons and make full use of AEON member card/day :)
These are 3 tips I would like to share with you on how I make full use of cashback via TNG eWallet. Maybe you guys already know about it, let's embrace the similarities of idea together :) hehe
1. Pay in two different transactions.
- Check how much you need to spend to get the cashback.
- Tesco - spend RM60 to get RM8 cashback.
- TF - spend RM80 to get RM8.88 cashback.
- Giant - spend RM60 to get RM6.88 cashback.
- 99 Speedmart - spend RM40 to get RM8 cashback.
- Divide our groceries into two part - usually Haziq will pay via his TNG eWallet and I will pay the other half. So, after 3 days, we can get at least 2x the cashback (one of each of us). Looks complicated, but who does not want at least RM16 (RM8 x 2) for free?
2. Buy in two separate days.
- Check how many transactions you can do per month AND within the promotion period - usually 1-2x per promotion period.
- Since I love walking around the mall (usually to spend time at the bookstore), I decided to buy stuffs in 2 separate days. This usually happen when Haziq is working and I am on my off day. I am not strong enough (anymore) to buy lots of groceries at the same time, so divide them into two phases is my alternative. Another point contributing to this is currently we are staying in an apartment, which makes me a bit difficult to bring back all the items I've bought to my unit. T_T Berat mak aiiii.
3. Buy from different stores.
- Maybe it is a bit tricky if you need to face traffic jam to do so. While in Manjung, all stores/supermarkets are quite close to each other. So, I don't really mind to do so.
Anyway, that's all.
You can check more promotion from Touch 'n Go eWallet from its website :)
Do share your tips to get more cashback (it can be via other medium too - Boost, Grab Pay etc).
I just learned that Shopback is a good one too as it can be connected to Boost :D Since then, whenever I am paying with Boost, I will make sure I pay via Shopback-Boost, just to get more cashback :)
All in all, I still believe these eWallets should be used within our budget, please don't simply buy more than we need just for the sake of getting more cashback kay?

Eat Out | Black Canyon
January 9, 2020
Due to our limited free time together, usually we will spend our free hours at the beach, at home, at restaurant or at mall etc. It is a bit hard to get out of Manjung when we both have a quite opposite schedule. T_T. Sometimes, on my off day, Haziq will be working either 7am-5pm or 7am-9pm, so we only have few hours before another working day. While, on Haziq's off day, I will be working 7am-7pm or 10am-10pm.
Challenging.
But, it is okay, I do believe as long as we spend few quality hours together, I feel a bit satisfied at least, even though I am still looking forward for more free times. Most of times, either of us will send a sweet drink to the hospital, just to meet each other. Haha.
That's a challenge to marry a health care worker, no matter doctors, nurses, MAs etc - the working hours are not fixed at all.
Anyway, this is one of our dating style (read as eating-and-getting-fat-together-then-regret-our-weight-gain). HEHEHE

Black Canyon Restaurant, AEON Seri Manjung
One of my favourite restaurant when it comes to air-conditioned restaurants in Manjung. I am not really into fast food, still prefer rice and side dishes etc. Chicken Rice Shop is another good place to eat here. :)
This time, we decided to try other menus instead of the regular ones we usually had. So, here we go.
 |
| Roasted Whole Chicken Leg with Stir-Fried Mixed Vegetables served with Rice (RM 11.90) - Haziq loves chicken very much lol. He prefer chicken for everyday meals. |
 |
| Tomyum - a part of set meal. Tomyum at this restaurant is a menu that is highly recommended. It tastes delicious and you will keep craving for more. |
 |
| Spicy Stir-Fried Fusilli with Seafood and Hot Basil (RM 11.90) - the taste is a bit weird, maybe because the pasta is a bit dry. Even though I love basil, but this menu will not be in our future list :) |
 |
| Thai Style "Kway Teow Ladna" with Chicken (RM 9.90) - the gravy soup is not that thick for me, but it is well cooked. Yummy as well :) |
 |
| Mexican Iced Coffee (RM 11.90) - Haziq really wants to try this, we thought the glass will be a bit bigger (if you see the menu book), but nope, it is maybe around 300ml? |
 |
| Muka baru balik kerja |
 |
| Muka post night shift. |
- Spicy Seafood Tomyum (RM 15.90)
- Thai Fragrant Rice (RM 1.90)
- Minced Chicken with Hot Basil and Fried Eggs (RM 11.90)
- Stir-Fried Kailan with Salted Fish (RM 9.90)
The price is of course pricey if you compared to normal kedai makan outside. But, trust me, the portion is big enough to share between 3-4 people especially if you order rices and few side dishes. Worth the money with the portion and taste :)
Other good points:
+ air conditioned
+ clean
+ good and fast service
+ polite staffs
Till next food review :)

I am The Adventurer (ISFP-T)
January 5, 2020
I was reading a blog post of Ain Soofiyah about her personality and suddenly I wonder about mine. I think I have done the test before, but not really sure what was it. So, I decided to redo the test, well, I have been working for almost 2 years, I assume my personality will be a bit different.
Summary of my personality based on the further explanation (they explained a lot!) Honestly their words are too beautiful and I can reflect myself a lot, like "woahh, I feel it!", "macam betul je niii."
Happy to Be Who They Are
- Adventurers are unpredictable, even to their close friends and loved ones - because they love spontaneity.
- They need time to recharge and during this time, they will reflect themselves then come back as a transformed one.
- They will find ways to push their passions (more into gambling / extreme sports).
- Can lose tempers after receiving criticism that are more biting / less mature
Meaning is in Every Expression of Life
- Biggest challenge is to plan for the future
- It is hard to develop and maintain a new habit, but Adventurers will use their strengths to pursue whatever they've come to love.
Adventurer Strengths
- Charming - they are relaxed and warm - makes them likable & popular.
- Sensitive to others - can easily relates to other's emotions - can minimize conflict
- Passionate - hahaha this is interesting. It says that when Adventurers are caught up in something exciting and interesting, they can leave everything else in the dust. :D
- Curious - they need to see and explore first to confirm anything.
- Artistic - have a way to visualize stuffs.
Adventurer Weakness
- Fiercely independent - if anything interfere with freedom of expression, it creates sense of oppression.
- Unpredictable - tend to actively avoid planning for future - may affect romantic relationship / financial.
- Easily stressed - they live in full of emotion.
- Overly competitive - can escalates small things into intense competition, turning down long term success to be happy at the moment
- Fluctuating self-esteem
Romantic Relationship
- They prefer to listen than to express
- If they are accepted for who they are, Adventurers are warm, enthusiastic partners
- Tend to let partner to lead for long term plans, but they almost never run out of things to do at the moment.
- Caring and loyal, love finding ways to surprise partners in fun little ways.
- Enjoy spending time with partner.
- Adventurers believe in actions, not words – but it’s crucial that they know their feelings are shared.
Things are unlikely to ever grow stale – even the longest-term partners can be surprised by the secrets Adventurers keep.
Friendships
- Love spending time with friends doing casual, fun activities
- Adventurers’ relaxed, non-judgmental attitudes make it easy for them to get along with others, but it’s not always the same way around.
- Sensitive and takes time to build enough trust with new friends to open up and feel natural
Parenthood
- Adventurer personalities’ natural warmth, practicality and relaxed nature help them to settle in and appreciate every moment of joy and hardship that comes with raising a child.
- People with the Adventurer personality type love fun, hands-on activities, and as their children grow, they’re often encouraged to pick up extra hobbies that revolve around those kinds of activities.
- Still, need to rely on partner for long term planning for kids.
Career Path
- Adventurers personalities' greatest need: creative freedom
- Whether organizing charity events, working with hospitals to make patients’ stays more pleasant, or laying stone to help make a house a home, Adventurers always seem to find a way to make the world a little more beautiful and exciting, and to make a living in the process.
All in all, seems like there are things I can totally relate to myself and quite a number that I don't feel the same. Maybe I should take the test again later. Haha. But, I guess you guys can take the test too, it is interesting to discover ourselves and maybe get to know something new about us too :D
