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 ...

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak?

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak? Pernah tak korang hadapi situasi macam ni. Bersenam dah all out, membanting tulang dan tenaga di gym. Dalam semangat nak lose weight tu, timbang diri setiap jam, setiap hari! Disebabkan dah berabis workout dan mengamalkan diet rumput rumpai, korang pun expect berat turun kan? Tiba-tiba bila naik atas penimbang tu, berat tak turun pun. Maintain je. Kadang-kadang lagi teruk. BERAT NAIK PULAK!! Bila terjadi perkara macam ni, korang pun berjalan perlahan-lahan ke sudut bilik, dan mengerekot di dalam bilik yang gelap sambil mengenang nasib. Sangat mematahkan semangat, berkecamuk jiwa dan raga. I know. I've been there. CPPS pun pernah mengalami perkara yang sama Workout dah betul, diet pula calorie deficit. You have done everything right but your weight INCREASED! Rasa nak putus asa dan minum racun rumpai. Kemudian ahli keluarga, PT atau kakak cleaner gym dengan penuh rasa kasihan cuba memujuk. "Hey! don't worry. You are gainin...

Bikinication: Project Phuket Part 2

In case you have not read the part 1, click HERE .  So on the 3rd day we went island hopping to Phi Phi Island where the movie "The Beach" featuring Leonardo Dicaprio was filmed.  Bought the package while wandering around Patong Beach but you can get these island hopping packages anywhere in Phuket.  Like many other things in Phuket, you have to bargain. We got our package for 1050 Baht/pax which included transport to and fro hotel, lunch and refreshments, snorkeling equipment and covers Maya Bay (where the filming was), Loh Samah Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave, Monkey Beach and Khai Nok Island.  We only stop and got down the boat at Maya Bay, another lagoon i don't know what's the name for snorkeling, Phi Phi Don for lunch and Khai Nok Island.  They picked us up at 7.45am from the hotel and all of us gathered in a place for a briefing. There were 3 boats that day for all of us,  then departed to the jetty which was about 1...

Guide To First Dates For Dummies

Guide To First Dates For Dummies While I'm not exactly an expert in relationships, first dates, and stuff, I've had a few learning experiences and a panel of consultants.  I feel the need to share with you, especially guys, a few do's and don'ts of a first date.  Basically to give you some idea of what girls expect on a first date and to save you from embarrassment and disappointments from not securing a second date.  1. Dress To Impress DO NOT underestimate the power of dressing. You only have one chance at making a good first impression.  You don't have to wear something expensive or trendy. Just something tidy, presentable, smart, or casual. Something you are comfortable in. Jeans, a nice shirt and shoes would be fine.  No short pants, slippers, and ratty t-shirts. If you want to wear shorts, wear them with a shirt (with collar) and shoes instead. Hair should be presentable, facial hairs trimmed and tidy, no bad breath or body odour.  Use cologn...
