Wisana Redang

oh hello there...

it has been a while isn't it and so much has happened since. biggest event being COVID hitting the world! now we're in Full MCO and I am craving for a holiday, I wanted to document the last holiday we managed to squeeze in in between the MCOs when we were allowed to travel.

It was our 10th wedding anniversary and we decided to go to Redang and booked Wisana Redang.
We heard about Wisana through a friend and managed to book a slot. Me and the boys took a flight to Kuala Terengganu and met up with the hubs there (as he was working in Kuantan). Drove up to Merang Jetty to catch our boat to Wisana.





Wisana is known for its white sandy beaches. The view from my bed was stunning and it was right in front of our chalet. But I have to warn you that the rooms are pretty basic. But the view makes up for it!







When we stayed at Taaras, our room (one that was within our budget) was far away from the beach. This time it was in front of our front door.

The price for the stay included all meals. The food was yummy and they had a tea/coffee station that is available to you throughout the day with unlimited bread and biscuits. They served a mix of Malaysian and Western cuisines.



On the first day we snorkeled in front of the Wisana itself and were hoping to spot some turtles but we didn't. Saw a stingray though and plenty of fishes.

The next day we went snorkeling and to see some turtles at Turtle Bay (price inclusive of the snorkeling trip).


We saw so many turtles swimming around us and at the snorkeling spots we saw so many beautiful fishes. The water and currents were quite strong that day though, so Aaman didn't snorkel and we had to take turns to teman him.



The next morning, I even managed to hike with a few new friends. I was in my slippers but managed to make it to the top. My knees were in paid for the next 2 weeks after that!


Another extra day would have been perfect. Just to hang out at the beach and swim. So next time (whenever we can travel again), we will definitely stay for 4D3N!

Glad we managed to go for a quick holiday before all travels were not allowed again.


We'll be back again WISANA!

October makeup orders

Placed these orders these weekend!
Ordered from Cultbeauty using their 15% off offer.
Lately been into skin care more than make up. 



I actually wanted the Hude Nude Obsessions but canceled because Tati just released her palette! So ordered that instead!



The total price was USD57.95 including USD9.95 which comes to RM242.61. For a 24 eyeshadow palette I think the price is reasonable. Honestly, I am merely buying cos I love Tati ❤️🦋 

I can’t wait for my orders to arrive!

Phantom of the Opera in KL

I finally got to see Phantom of the Opera and can cross this off my bucket list!!
I have always LOVED musicals and theaters and had Phantom along with Les Mis on my list to watch. When I heard that they will be performing in KL I convinced Natte (who else?! hehe) to have a date with me and she agreed! We bought the tickets way in advanced as the show is in July while we bought them in December.

When the day of the show finally came, we both got glammed up at the office and headed out for our date!



Thanks Natte for accompanying me!!







We had pretty good seats! So glad we splurged and bought these tickets.

I went in only knowing the gist of the story line. I should have bought the program book but didn't. Overall it wasn't my favourite one, but it ceases to amaze me how a theater production comes together and come to live. The live music from x many piece orchestra together with the multiple octaves of notes sang by the actors and actresses. The Phantom though, he was definitely something, his deep voice is hauntingly good! So I truly enjoyed it !! Hope to see another show soon and hopefully the tickets aren't too expensive. Being more "cultured" is burning a hole in my pocket!

Althea x A’Bloom


A'Bloom recently released their masks, make up sponges and blackhead blaster on Althea online.
I have recently received this box of goodies from Althea through The Butterfly Project. Thanks Butterfly Project!



They have 4 types of mask and they have been named by our mamasan Tammy Lim! Each type addresses 4 different concerns:


  1. Sparkle-Me-Bright - for brightening
  2. Ac-Me-Peach - for acne
  3. Avo-Cuddle-Me - for nourishing
  4. Water-Me-Long - for moisturising






I tried the brightening mask and my verdict is..i love it!! the masks were dripping with essence and i love how soft and almost gel like the mask sheets are.



They are currently on sale at RM18.00 for a pack of 10 so you better snap them up real quick!!

A'Bloom is also selling make up sponges and they are super cute in the shape of meringues!
However they are slightly a bit dense and not as bouncy as other beauty sponges. The littles ones can be used for under eye area but I felt like that shape although they are super cute, it's not the most practical. It's a bit squashed so it's kinda a bit hard to grip for blending.

RM11 (big) RM15 (3 x small)

Their last item is their BHA Blackhead Blaster stick. This stick helps to get rid of blackheads, whiteheads and clean your face from trapped dirt and oil. It is super easy to use where you just apply it on your face and the massage in circular motion. My face did feel clean and smooth so it has certainly removed the blackheads and whiteheads successfully! It's a painless way to get rid of blackheads and white heads.

RM19.00

So will you be trying any of these out?? I would totally recommend getting the masks though! Super cheap and super good! Head over to althea.kr now!!

Weekend in Tiarasa Escapes

It was kakak's birthday weekend and at the last minute, she suggested that we all go to Tiarasa for the weekend. I was super excited to go glamping again!





We all joined them on Saturday noon but everyone else actually checked in on Friday. Loved the beautiful tents and their swimming pool was just perfect. Not too deep so we could watch the kids from the side. There is a small stream by the side of the campsite and it was great for kids too. They loved playing in the river and the pool!

The Stream

The Pool


Konti (Kakak's husband) organised a party/celebration during lunch. The package was inclusive of balloons, decorations, cake and food. Usually the party organised by Tiarasa would be done as tea and the food provided were kuih muih and goreng pisang etc. As ours was earlier, we ordered lunch from the Ala Carte menu.









Happy Birthday Kakak!
We had dinner at the restaurant and luckily we ordered early. They were understaffed, we had early dinner but the people who came after had to wait for tables which were limited. They pre-ordered too but none of it were made! But the food was yummy and reasonably priced.

Breakfast fruits

Nasi Lemak was so good!

Then we headed for the Bon Fire area. We waited ages for the fire to be lit (short staffed) and when they finally came with the marshmallows we were slightly disappointed to see the marshmallows were all sticky and they only brought one packet.

Bon Fire

Later that night, they played a movie under the stars. Nazrin really wanted to eat popcorn, so after Aaman and Kimi fell asleep, I took him. They showed The Greatest Show and we watched it while waited for the popcorn. Nazrin fell asleep waiting and I really cannot carry him back to our tent, so as soon as he had some popcorn, we went back.

As much as I loved the room, for some reason I couldn't fall asleep. Maybe because our tent was on the hill and slightly far away from everyone else. I just couldn't sleep. No ghosts or anything but I just feel "tak tenang". So I think this is the last time for glamping for me. Give me a hotel next time please!

Overall we all had a wonderful time and Kakak loved her party there. The kids had so much fun at the pool and the river. The food was great but we could see they were so under staffed. The same guy was at the restaurant, lighting the bon fire, setting up the outdoor cinema and making the popcorn. Poor guy! So they definitely need to address that but otherwise it was great. However, I don't think I'll be glamping for a while. I just can't sleep!!
