2D1N Sinar Eco Resort [Malaysia]

This trip was done together with the group whom I used to spend nights with at St. John Island, Pulau Ubin and in campus. It is not easy to travel with friends and their families. But with this group, I would agree to it without any hesitation. So here it is, the 15 of us for a 2D1N stay at Sinar Eco Resort in Malaysia.



We have a total of 6 adults and 9 kids, hence we booked Legends of Music Room that was in the apartment and each level comes with 3 bedrooms and a living room. Per bedroom came with two queen beds and infact, it was pretty spacious! Some of us shared rooms while one of the room was given to the family with the hubby who came. Nothing fanciful for the rooms except for the portraits on the wall which Vera disliked it but the amenities were basic enough for a comfortable kampung stay. 

We took the package that includes 5 meals for everyone, this was really wonderful! Firstly, we did not need to rack our brains on what to eat. Second, the food served at Lavender Cafe was of homecooked style, simple yet flavorful! The soup was really good and we confirmed that no msg was added because it was so nice that we had more than one serving and we did not feel thirsty at all after consuming it. 

The cafe was built with see through glass wall that allows natural sunlight to come into the space, air-conditioned, spacious and pretty comfortable, minus the flies. There was a table assigned to us through out both days. 


With a playground located just right beside the cafe, we could just easily watch the kids play while we continued to dine. And I think I would like to mention this too! There were two birthday babies for the month and the staff had kindly assisted my friend in getting a cake and it was a really pleasant surprise that they dished out the cake in this presentation, dimmed the lights a little and played the birthday song in loops. Two thumbs up for the staff for going an extra mile! 


Now, the trip has to be completed with a durian feast! The kitchen staff assisted us in the ordering, not the cheapest at RM20 per kg but trust me, although we did not know the grade of those thorny fruits but they tasted decent! It was not about the price but the company that matters and to add on, we were really impressed with the service of the staff, they set up tables at the pavilion which was just right beside the swimming pool, pryed open the fruits for us! Their service by the staff was really applaudable, such that we had gladly tip for their excellent service! 


Buggy service were made easily available if you did not feel like walking under the sun. Just make your request to any staff you spot around the reception area. 


Here's what we did around the farm. Our room package included mini zoo activites like animal petting and feeding, free tractor ride around the farm and use of swimming pool.

The kids went feeding at the bunnies' enclosure and went stroking the cats. There was this most adorable kitten we spotted, all the kids could not resist cuddling it!


Next was to feed the cattles and the flocks.





The very nice staff actually taught Vera how to hold a chicken without any struggles.


This city-kid of mine was on cloud nine for being able to hold a chicken! Such a brave girl! No chickens were harmed at any point of time. =)


We top up for other activities like milking the cow and horse riding. Finally, she brushed aside her fear of horse-riding after the fall from the horse during our Hua Hin trip and was willing to give a try after I convinced her that she would be fine this time. Basically, this horse was a retired racing horse and according to the staff who looked after it, this horse has a gentle temperament.




I had my first ATV ride this round! Infact, Xav had his experience at Farm Chok Chai, Khao Yai and he thought he could drive on his own like before.  Apparently, there was an uncle managing the station (not the staff) told me that the ATVs were not the usual, what they had were the more "hardcore" type and advised me that for every riding child, there should be an accompanying adult. So end up, I got to ride 6 rounds but managed to get a friend to go on two rounds while I took the remaining.


I went for a round by myself to have a feel of it before I got Vera and Xav to hop on individually. Indeed, it was really heavy to steer, my arms seemed to be screaming after two rounds. I allowed Xav to control the ATV on the move and he could tell me the difference. This was indeed much heavier! Anyway, it was a great experience riding with the kids!


Would I recommend this place? Personally, yes for a getaway from the bustling city just to be in touch with nature and yes should you need a social media detox. This place is good as they do not provide wifi at all.

I feel that this self-contained resort is sufficient for a 2D1N stay, not the most well-maintained farm I say but basic standard for the accomodation was met. You may also wish to hop over to read Cheekie Monkies' review, I got to know of this resort from his post.


How did we get there? We booked a 16 seater bus from:
Uncle Pang Travel & Tours
Mobile phone (Malaysia): +60167474357

We took a return trip package and top up for additional pickup points to facilitate convenience.

My CoolSculpting Treatment and results Elissa Medical Clinic [Part II]

Earlier in March, I shared about My CoolSculpting Experience with Elissa Medical Clinic [Part 1], in this post, I would be sharing the process and the results after three months! 

Dr. Winston Lin prescribed four CoolAdvantage sessions to treat the bulging stubborn fat at my tummy. The CoolAdvantage range of applicators under the CoolSculpting family reduces treatment time by nearly half compared to legacy CoolSculpting applicators. 

For instance, treatment time with traditional CoolSculpting applicators takes 60 mins but this is reduced to 35 mins with the CoolAdvantage applicator. This meant that my treatment was completed in 2 hrs 20 mins instead of the 4 hrs it would have taken with legacy CoolSculpting applicators. 

Another benefit of the CoolAdvantage applicator is the enhanced cup design for improved patient comfort as well as a larger cooling area to treat a bigger area.

Before treatment, Dr. Winston Lin first used the CoolAdvantage templates to mark out the areas that required treatment. To be honest, I was really embarrassed about showing my bulging fats, Dr. Winston could easily pinched a huge pocket of it.


Before putting on the applicator, the clinic assistant then applied gel pads onto the treatment area first to protect the skin during treatment. 





The process did not put me into any discomfort, I had some moments to catch a wink for a quick recharge and got to 'work' on my phone in total peace while freezing my fat cells.


After the removal of applicator, the treated area seemed to look like a 'cake'. 


The clinic assistant would massage the treated area, to help break down the crystallised dead fat cells, which will be passed out by the body naturally. 


Finally! I am now able to show you the results of the CoolSculpting treatment. The front view of my tummy before the treatment looked 'pregnant' but three months after CoolSculpting, my tummy from the front was less round and I felt more space when  I am wearing my t-shirts. The treatment managed to reduce the fats by 25-30%. I shall let the pictures do the talking!

Front View 
The side profile showed a more significant difference, even the fats on love handles was reduced.

side view (right)



For me, it took me slightly more than 1.5 months for the numbness on the treated area to be gone. There was also no down-time period, I was able to function as per normal. I hope this post has been useful in helping you decide if you would like to try out CoolSculpting but do also keep in mind to eat healthily too! I have lost 1.5 kg after three months after cutting down carbs for dinner and late night snacking. My current weight is now 51kg and probably another 1 kg off, that will be my ideal weight.

Should you be keen to make a CoolSculpting consultation, do make an appointment with Dr. Winston Lin, I affirm that he is one of the very patient and most reassuring doctors I have met:

[Review + Nomination] Su:m37 Secret Essence + Balancing Toner

It has been 5 weeks since I embarked on su:m37 skincare journey, diligently working on my skincare regime with  su:m37 Balancing Toner as well we su:m37 Secret Essence. In exchange, now I have a brighter and healthier looking skin coupled with a glow which earned me compliments for the first time ever in my life from friends who saw the difference. I bought this super value for money Special Secret Set, perfect for the beginners!


And I purchased the Secret Eye Cream as well as I loved the non-oily feel after application and it was not too rich. It is a challenge to find a suitable eye cream as I tend to develop millia seeds over time if the product is not suitable for me. The fine lines on my eyebags had improved and I have no development of more millia seeds.

As for the mask, I tried su:m 37 Bright Award Bubble-De Mask (Black) , I simply fell in love with after the very first time I used it. I just applied the gel all over my face and in less than 5 mins, it started to bubble up and turned the gel texture into foam. After washing off, my face felt so clean and it was baby-smooth to touch! I am going to purchase this this month!



I am grateful to be an ambassor of su:m37 and I am now a convert, loving the natural fermentation technology totally! I will be nominating a friend to embark on this journey to experience the goodness of these golden drops!

[Review] su:m37˚ BalancingToner

It is coming close to a month since I embarked on the journey of su:m37˚.  Ask me if the products are good, I say YES! The first time ever in my life, I actually received compliments from friends who meet me once in a blue moon complimented that my face looks brighter and clearer now! 

On another occasion, I was speaking to Vera's teacher when she suddenly told me that she observed the improvement in the complexion of my face as compared to three months ago when I first enrolled Vera! What a joy! I knew the products worked and my effort in carrying out the skincare regime diligently paid off.

Apart from su:m37˚ Secret Essence, I have been using su:m37˚ Balancing Toner before the secret essence. 


I compared toner of different brands. su:m37˚ BalancingToner has a thicker viscosity as compared to the rest which I have used before. It gave a velvety feel when I applied it across my face. I wanted to show you the texture of it by dripping two drops of toner of two different brand of which, the one on the right was Su:m37˚on the back of my hand. Click on the photo and look closely, you would see that area being more glowy, healthier and lively looking.



This gel type toner provides our skin with ultra rich moisture and also regulates the oil secretion activity level and stabilizes the skin structure on a cellular level. Thus, su:m37 users, be sure that you will have a lively and healthier complexion.  

On another hand, to achieve healthy looking skin, it is not just by using the products. It is also utmost important that we need to hydrate our cells on a daily basis with more water intake. I have also been increasing my water intake along side with using the products. I have to tell you, I am a convert!
