The Wonders of Putrajaya Marriott Hotel

Hello, faithful readers! How are you lovelies doing today? Why am I being all perk up today? Well, I'm in midst of planning my holidays, and whether my leave is approved or not, I am taking that dang holiday!

If you’re local and want to go for a quick trip to rejuvenate yourself with some fluffy pillows and an amazing view, I got just the perfect hotel for you; the Putrajaya Marriott Hotel because I heard it's really nice for staycation away from the hustle and bustle of the KL city

Now, where can I book Putrajaya hotels such as this one? Well, Google has the answer to your search! 

Let’s see what makes this hotel so fascinating, shall we? 

Great Spa Treatment Putrajaya Marriott Hotel is not a stranger to us locals, right? Heard it’s crazily popular and definitely has one of the best spa treatments in a hotel standard level. Let’s skip about the room altogether and get straight to the tea first; we’ll get back to the room later on! 

Dewi Teratai Spa is the name and what do they have to offer? Well, my friends, what will you do when I say the package varies from 90 minutes Facial Treatment, 90 minutes Relaxing Body Massage, 60 minutes Foot Reflexology to 60 minutes Deep Tissue? OR if you’re diving deep, you can go for the Tranquility Signature which consists of 90 minutes Hot Stone Massage or 150 minutes of Spa Treatment. If you’re dragging your significant other together for this relaxing escapade, you can try the Couple Treatment which comprises of Relax ‘n’ Glow Package for 60 minutes rejuvenating body scrub or Blissful Package where you’ll get 90 minutes of traditional Newari body massage and 30 minutes eye care treatment.

Are you spa-ready yet? I'm definitely ready for  Putrajaya Marriott spa-ready staycation!

 Activities-Pumping 

What do you usually like to do when you’re doing a staycation at a hotel? Sleep in all day? Eat in all day? Wander around the area and only come back at night to sleep? Explore the hotel from left to right, up and below? That’s exactly what I would do! We are paying for this hotel, so we are going to explore it to the core!

I’m one that like activities and oh boy, this hotel has all there is to have. They have activities literally for all types of travellers!

If you’re more into nature-oriented activities, you will definitely enjoy the biking trail, boating, horseback riding, nature preserve trail and sailing. If you’re not one to ride with the waves of nature, but really enjoy thrilling activities, you can opt for jet-skiing and water-skiing. If you’re more into fun and games, bowling will be a way to go. 

Lights! Architectures! Designs! 

I have to admit, Putrajaya is a world of its own, and the Putrajaya Marriott Hotel is a world of its own too. The moment you step inside, you will be blown away by the majestic of...EVERYTHING! The grand lobby is, well, grand! It’s like walking in a shimmering gold light castle with window panes overseeing the expand sky outside. 

When you walk into the dining area, you will be drawn by the seductive smell of pastries, main dishes and all aroma you can possibly identify. Do you like Japanese food? Go to the Midori Japanese Restaurant. Do you like Chinese food? Go to the Summer Palace Chinese Restaurant. Do you like Italian food? Head on to the Tuscany Italian Restaurant & Pizza Bar. Just thinking about it makes me hungry. I’ll be right back! Okay, I’m back! 

Gotta grab some bites if you know what I mean. Okay, where were we? Oh, the wonders of food. I love food. Let’s head to the last wonders I can think of when I think of this hotel, the accommodation!

Sleeping Beauty will continue sleeping 

They said to save the best for last, soooo, I’m saving the best part for last, right here! This hotel got loads of various suites suit specifically for you, whether you’re travelling alone, with a partner or a spouse, with families and friends and with kids! As much as how majestic the grand lobby is, the rooms are second compared to none! 

You got the Presidential Suite - perfect for families; you got the Palace Suite - perfect for couples on a honeymoon retreat! You got Executive Suite for a cosy space if you’re on a business trip or a simple staycation getaway; or if you want to tone down the grandeur a bit, you can take the Junior Suite, which is also the bomb; OR you could go for Palm Suite for some extra space for you and your loved ones to cuddle about. 

And there you have it! The wonders of Putrajaya Marriott Hotel and I am really thinking to book it for a staycation with my girlfriends. I know this is  a bit different to what I usually write, but hey, we gotta spice it up once in a while, right? What do you think I’ll be writing for my next entry? Stay tuned and find out, it could be another twist!

Have a great staycation escape, friends!

My shopping in Desa Home, One City Subang

As some of you might know, I moved in to my own place on 12/12/18 and I am busy shopping for furniture and electrical applicants to fill up my place. 

For once I fulfilled my childhood dream to have my own pink princess room lol

My kitchen, my playground :)

My shopping list is never ending and I always on the look out for good deal so that I can save more to buy more items! Need to be smart shopper eh! 

So I have heard of Desa Home as it's pretty popular among Kepong folks (ah Kepong is my fav place to go for steamboat!). Desa Home was established in 1995 & they specialise in home entertainment systems. But now they are also offering wide varieties of home appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines and cooking appliances. 

I found out that late last year they opened a second store in Subang Jaya where it occupies 1394 sqm space on the ground floor of One Space, The Square, One City. Huge place! 

Ever since it has been established it has won numerous awards which includes 2017 International Prestige Brand Award, 2016 Asia Honesty Enterprise Award, Malaysia Top Entrepreneur of The Year Award and 2018 DOTY Designer of The Year Awards ‘Best Product Design Home Entertainment (Audio Systems).

They are also the authorized reseller of trusted brands like Sony, Samsung, LG, Toshiba, Philips, Haier, Hisense, Sharp, Electrolux, Onkyo, Marantz, Denon, KEF, Wharfedale, Klipsch, TEAC, Cambridge Audio, NAD, Polk Audio, Paradigm, BMB, BIK, D-Voice and many more. 

So I decided to visit Desa Home in One City Subang! The staffs in Desa Home are really friendly and helpful to answer any questions I have, great service :)

 Samsung showcase area

Check out the new Samsung QLED 4K TV, I wish to put TV in my room!

Samsung Convection Oven heard so much about this!

Samsung washing machine with Ecobubble technology!


The sales consultation was really patient in explaining the products to me.

LG showcase area

This is in my wish list LG TwinWash, washer & dryer all in one! And one more product I really like is LG Knock Knock Fridge or known as Instaview Door in Door Fridge... watch my video below to see how cool it's!

Sony showcase area

I swear by Sharp Plasmacluster Air Purifer because I have been using the older model for the past 6-7 years before it stopped working last year. So I'm thinking should I buy the replacement or get a totally new one for my room.

I was recommended to try out  Sharp Plasmacluster Air Purifier FPJ30LP as it comes with Haze Mode to eliminate dust, allergen, virus & smell. And it's only RM368 

Beats headphone that always make my heart skip a beat!

This blue Beats totally match my jumpsuit

What I like about this Desa Home showroom in One City is that there is this karaoke room where we get to try their low to high-end budgets home entertainment system. 

Hehe even got golden mic for you guys to sing & test the sound system!

Thank you Desa Home for this amazing shopping experience. Now my house is ready for Chinese New Year Now which is just around the corner! 

And one of my 2019 resolution is to live a healthier lifestyle. I have started to swim regularly, go to gym & even started cycling! I tried to make sure that I exercise 3-5 times per week. Part of the plan also to change my eating habits which I want to have less carb, less oil, salt, preservative and MSG - which means less outside food, more home cooked food! 

Hence I decided to buy Philips Viva Collection All-In-One Cooker HD2137 after reading so many good reviews about this. After checking few places, I decided to get it at Desa Home because the price is really affordable at RM 529!

This machine can slow cook, pressure cook & multi cook very fast. Super amazing cooker, cos this can even bake & make yogurt! I'm really in love with it!

I made Lotus Peanut soup with ribs in pressure cook mode for my dinner. Foolproof recipe, all the ingredients put in the pot and press"Pressure Cook" mode and "Start". My soup is ready in 20 mins :) 

Nowadays I cooked for my meals every often, before I go work to bring lunch to office and after work too, cos this magic multi cooker saves me a lot of time & effort :D Best investment ever!

I'm going to bring this home during CNY to make delicious dishes for my family :) Check out my Instagram @jessyings okay :) 

My Sharp Air Purifer FPJ30LB, I bought it for RM 339. I was advised to get this model as the coverage area is 23m² and will be perfect for my room size. Main reason I need this is because my previous air purifier stopped working after 7 years. As some of you might know, I got sinus with really sensitive nose (especially to smoke & dusts) and I'm allergy to dust mite ( I did an allergy test in hospital to know about this!)

I read that this new model can remove mold, viruses, allergens, odors and static electricity from the air. Also I personally think that this has more powerful air suction compared to my previous one. Also I can't wait to ON the Haze mode function when Indonesian starts burning the forests/plantation again...lol (better still please stop burning!)

I think clean air is the first step to healthy living hence this is definitely a must buy for everyone lol! Honestly feel i sneeze lesser and sleeps better at night too! When my mum came for a visit & slept over with me a while ago, she said my room air smell fresher and air feel cooler compared to my brother's room. So immediately she asked me to help her to buy one and put in her room back in Johor. I think unless one experiences it the difference it's quite hard to convince anyone cos air is still air too many people.. (Hahah now I sound like Sharp salesman already, this is my honest testimonial k!)

Ah below is my video of me shopping in Desa Home in One City Subang, please watch ya :)

Do visit Desa Home today as they offer affordable price products & great service. I had an amazing shopping experience there!

Go for your shopping now for your CNY, Valentine's Day or pamper yourself lol :)

Review & Swatch of Mary Kay Gel Semi Shine Lipstick

I was sent a couple of new Mary Kay Gel Semi Shine Lipstick range to try. As a lipstick hoarder, I am definitely excited because I have been trying out a couple of their products in the past and so far they are to my liking!

Mary Kay Gel Semi Shine Lipstick comes in black sturdy luxury looking packing.

I like the clear top window on the lipstick case making my life easier by looking at the shades at a snap rather than opening one by one to pick the colour, whether it’s in a cluttered handbag or makeup drawer. 

Although this is a gel semi shine lipstick, this product promises to deliver full-coverage to your lips by having gel microsphere technology which can offer rich, stay-true colour that delivers long-lasting wear – without leaving lips looking or feeling dry. 

What so unique about this Ultrafine silica microspheres technology is that it will lock in the lipstick colour on the lips making it more long lasting. Yet it’s in lightweight gel formula that glides on smoothly and cushions lips, leaving them feeling soft and supple with ingredients such as sunflower seed oil and jojoba butter, to help condition lips while. In essence this Mary Kay Gel Semi Shine Lipstick delivers long-lasting wear without drying lips.

I was given 3 different Mary Kay Gel Semi Shine Lipstick shades to try

Here are how the swatches look like with just 1 swipe, the colour payoff is highly pigmented. Here I will try out one by one the colour to show how it appear on my lip.

Mary Kay Gel Semi Shine Lipstick in Luminous Lilac shade is a very shimmery lilac pink purplish that leaves my lips pop with luminous shine. The lightweight gel formula lipstick glides on smoothly and cushions lips, leaving my lips feeling soft and supple.

And this shade is a sweet shade to brighten up my look!

Mary Kay Gel Semi Shine Lipstick in Mod Pink shade although the name has the word pink but the shade is more towards coral-ish pink colour.

This is a great subtle shade for everyday look and this is the shade that will suits for all skin tone for all occasions.

Mary Kay Gel Semi Shine Lipstick in Scarlet Red is my favourite shade of all. Although the red shade looks darker on tube, upon application this shade reveals a beautiful bloody red shade. What I like about this lipstick is that it gives a really intense colour payoff, the full coverage finishing has a long lasting effect that don’t dry up my lips.

Red is love! Red is bold!

This is the perfect must haves lip colour to steal the limelight at the event you are attending.

And I would highly recommend you to try Mary Kay Gel Semi Shine Lipstick if you are:-

• craving for an intense, long-lasting lip color. 
• prefer full coverage lipstick that won’t leave your lips looking or feeling dry

Mary Kay Gel Semi Shine Lipstick is sold at RM 55 each and for more details contact Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant today 03-77117500.

Cheapest Flights, Exotic Setting and Fun-Filled Adventure: Kuala Lumpur to Phuket

Ever since selecting holiday destinations online became massively convenient and affordable with wide range of the cheapest flights offerings, a lot of more exotic travel spots received a huge boost in its tourism sector. Thailand is one of the countries prospering from this, with Bangkok and Phuket being its top picks, each being a wonderful destination in its own respect. 

 Phuket in particular, has proven itself to be a favourite among travellers in general. With some of the cheapest flights out there from Kuala Lumpur to Phuket, it’s an all rounder sort of venue, with something to offer for everyone. Traveloka is one of the travel companies that offers amazing deals on Kuala Lumpur to Phuket air tickets that will leave you shook. Monthly promotions offered in their site will present you the most affordable price. From sheer entertainment to rich culture, thumping parties to nature walks, and vibrant urbanity to sandy thrills, they say there’s always a little bit more to discover. 

In fact Phuket is the first ever overseas destination I flew to back in 2006 and I actually blog about how much I missed the places in Phuket 

With some many places to visit and limited time to waste, here’s the list of top eight things you can expect to see when you take the next Kuala Lumpur to Phuket flights. 

1. Phi Phi Island

 I took this picture in Phi Phi island back in 2006!

Phi Phi Island As far as beauty and serenity is concerned, to give you an idea of how charming Phi Phi Island is, it was selected for Leo Dicaprio’s 2000 movie The Beach. This island is as magnificently pretty as the movie made it out to be, and is Thailand’s primary tropical tourist attraction. Rich in flora and fauna, it has ensured a reasonable minimum in commercial development to maintain its enchanting allure. It’s a popular choice amongst travellers as they get a little more than just a mere tan. 

2. Phang Nga Bay

How I looked 12 years ago!

Phang Nga Bay Located in the north east side of the island, this bay highlights beautiful limestone cliffs that emerge, steadfastly, up from the emerald waters. Like Phi Phi Island, this little segment of Phuket also holds in it a glorious range of protected Flora and Fauna that can be watched through guided tours as part of its nature walk and hiking packages. There are two smaller islands off its coast that are worth checking out and considering the possibility of scoring the cheapest flights here, you might as well. 

3. Old Phuket Town

This town is far from being a little quaint. It’s seen a rise in tourism-based businesses that caters to much of the traffic that comes in. Cool and vibrant shops of various types are available, especially where gifts and knick knacks galore are concerned. There’s a nice mix of modern architecture with portuguese colonial and chinese influenced heritage. It’s a pretty cool place to wander through during the day.

 4. Phuket FantaSea Show 

Prepare yourself for an evening of wholesome fun and goofing around. A professional assembly of stunt artists, performers, animal acts and astounding pyrotechnics get their best show out in an ala cirque du soleil fashion; guaranteeing a show like you’ve never seen before. It’s a story told through a display of skill, dare and a experienced showmanship. 

 5. Big Buddha 

As one of the most sacred and revered landmarks, the Big Buddha attracts its fair share of visitors from all around the world. For both religious and sight-seeing reasons, this 45 meters tall humongous statue of a sitting Buddha sits at the top of Nakkerd Hills, overseeing Chalong, Kata and Rawai. The drive up to Nakkerd Hills is an experience in itself, with a majestic view of the island at your disposal.

 6. Wat Chalong and the Phuket Temples

Also in Chalong is one of Phuket's most important temples. A Buddhist temple with a seemingly endless glass decor adorning the building, it’s quite a sight for the everyday vacationer. There are fairs held during certain holidays where pop-out stalls sell the best of thai snacks and other local flavours. It’s an important component to any trip over in Phuket.

7. Phuket Viewpoints 

Amazing view at Promthep Cape

As adventurous as some may be, there are those here for a little romance, and none does it better than those banking on a beautiful sunrises and sunsets. There’s an array of viewpoints available throughout Phuket, with the most popular being Promthep Cape. Some of these viewpoints also sell cocktails at the bars for those wanting to take it up a notch. 

8. Muay Thai 

Thailand has also made a name for itself in the martial arts arena with Muay Thai, and what amazing art it really is. Dedication and discipline that is portrayed for viewing pleasure through awe-inspiring matches between well-trained experts. It’s a performance of mind, body and spirit, showcased for visitors to help them understand why Thailand is a heavily visited destination. 

With such excitement waiting for you there, avoid all the procrastination you might be feeling at the end of this entry. The cheapest flights promotion and deals are ticking and it will not wait for you anytime soon. The time to enjoy life is now and I'm actually really thinking of revisiting Phuket soon!
