Harmony Valley Retreat Di Janda Baik: Weekend Getaway Yang Mendamaikan

Harmony Valley Retreat Di Janda Baik: Weekend Getaway In Lush Misty Mountain

This staycation was what, late last year? Somewhere in November I think, during Deepavali long weekend.

Vacation yilek, staycation pun jadilah sis. 

Personally, I find that staycation is much more relaxing because you don't have to go through the hassle of planning your itinerary.

Most of all, you don't have to go through the stress of traveling. Urghhh, few hours to & fro airport, waiting at the airport, the stress and anxiety of going through immigration and such.

Just thinking about it makes me tired. #sisaging

So anyway, back to Harmony Valley Retreat. You know la, sis ni suka tempat yang aman, back to nature, nyaman sejuk-sejuk. Untuk lari daripada hiruk pikuk kota metropolitan.

And Harmony Valley Retreat is just the perfect place to rejuvenate, recharge & relax. Admittedly, the thing that cemented my decision was this review from a customer

"So serene & you can hear birds chirping in the morning"

Harmony Valley Retreat is just 45 minutes - 1 hour drive to K.L, nestled among the rolling hills & misty mountain of Janda Baik. 

The moment you enter Tanah Sum Sum, you'll feel like in a different world. The pace is slower, the air is cooler and immediately you'll feel a sense of tranquility. Because it's a private property area, there is very little traffic.

Sebijik manusia pun tidak kelihatan. Inilah yang sis impikan. lagi-lagi bila sis disambut dengan kabus-kabus manja bersembunyi di celah dedaun hijau, sis rasa gembira sangat.

Although they only have 2 staff, check-in was a breeze. It's a 3 storey bungalow without a lift and the staff helped me to carry my things into the room. And didn't even want to accept my tips for his help. Wow.

My favourite view


Look how spacious the bathroom is
The room is SPACIOUS and I like the high ceiling & tall windows overlooking the trees outside. The bed is so comfy & TV channel selection is adequate (they have Fox Movie). The room is without aircond but who needs one when the fresh air is so cool. 

I sleep with the windows open. Takutlah jugak kan kalau-kalau ada "benda" terbang masuk tengah malam buta. CHoiiiiii.
Literally, merenung ke luar jendela

And phone reception is nada. Which is just what I need. hahahahha.

The place was so serene & quiet. There are also other guests but everyone is just so quiet. The only noise you hear is the sound of nature like birds chirping & leaves rustling.

To make things even more wonderful, it then started to rain. I pulled the chair nearer to the open window, made a cup of coffee & just sit there looking at the rain falling, mist rolling in & nestled among the trees.

Ohh. I can't describe the feeling but it's just the best thing in the world. So blissful.

Stroll around the area in the evening & night time was spent reading & watching tv.

If you are looking for excitement with lots of things to do, this isn't the place for you.

But if you are looking for somewhere to unwind, be in nature, meditate & for some introspection, I highly recommend Harmony Valley Retreat.


Can you see the little green frog on the lotus leaf? Can you imagine I spent 15 minutes looking at frogs jumping in & out of the pool? hahahhaha
They also served this hearty breakfast

 Will I be back? You bet.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh? Sebenarnya salah satu benda Cik Panda nak cerita pasal butt cheeks. Butt cheeks are absolutely NO NO except at the pool or beach when you are in your swimsuit.  Cik Panda tak jealous la uols sebab Cik Panda tak hingin pun nak ada bontot yang jelly welly tu. ZAssssss So hari tu ada sorang minah ni baru 1st time iols nampak kat gym, tengah workout dengan bopren dia la gitu. Pakai sports bra je dengan really short shorts yang menampakkan ...

Indah Khabar Dari Rupa

"I suka tengok IG si anu anu ni. Selalu share parenting tips. Macam family goal." ujar bawang merah sambil dia scroll instagram sorang public figure Malaysia. "Hah!? Siapa? Si anu tuh? huh!!!! I ban mamat tuh!" sampuk si bawang putih.  Kemudian beberapa bebawang kat situ pun mengiyakan statement maut bawang putih. "Ye ye! I pun ban dia tu! So arrogant. Sombong!" ujar si bawang goreng. Kebanyakkan bawang-bawang ni pernah kerja dalam outlet yang sering dikunjungi oleh si  public figure ni  dan sudah tentu pernah  berhadapan dengan dia.     Semua berkongsi pengalaman yang sama, bahawasanya di public, si figure ni sering bermuka masam dan sombong. Tak pernah nak friendly. Mungkin dia ingat sales staff tak setaraf dengan dia. Bawang putih pulak menyambung "Hipokrit betul. Dalam IG dok share-share parenting tips bagai, tapi realiti 2 orang anak dia tu macam anak setan!" wahh marah betul bawang putih. Nak dijadikan cerita, anak-anak...

The Beautiful Malacca

St Paul's Church Malacca is probably my third favourite city. My first time visiting this amazing place was when i was 14 for a youth camp and has been visiting Malacca for countless times now. Day trips with friends or families,countless programs and courses over the years. It's probably that few coins i threw into the old well or an empty tomb on St Paul's Hill. Oh you know what they say about throwing coins and you'll come visit that place again someday. I love the old historical buildings, The Stadhuys, the architecture and colours of the building.  I love the food, the vibrancy of the town.  So the other day, my mum and younger sis was in town and we drove down to Malacca for a day trip.  14 years ago, those tall buildings were not there. It's kinda sad that a historical place like this is surrounded by modern malls and hotels. All in the name of progress i guess. The girl who thinks she is a professional dancer... R...
