Can you ever feel so much love for something you've never experienced before? I can't explain it but every year from September to November, I feel so much love for all things autumnal -- the irony is I've never experienced the autumn weather. I live it vicariously through Pinterest and try to recreate the coziness I would feel if it were Autumn in Malaysia.

Not to mention, it's the rainy season in October which is perfect especially when it rains in the morning, I love it. I desperately try to make myself as cozy as possible and I turn on movies that would remind me of the cool chilly weather we have here. I get snugged under covers with fluffy socks and have myself a hot cup of tea or hot cup of chocolate.

Hello! So I've been meaning to blog for quite a while now but I just haven't had the time to do it. So a little while ago I celebrated my birthday, October 19 (which unfortunately fell on a weekday). Nevertheless, I've always referred to October as my "birthday month" so it really doesn't matter what day it fell on.

Anyway I digressed, this year was the first year Nic was around for my birthday since we got together so he planned a little getaway during the weekend at Sarang by the Brook. If you're anything like me and you love the quiet chill time with a hot cup of tea on one hand and a good book to read on the other. This place is perfect. 


We had the best view in the room. There is a variation of small, medium and large rooms. Nic booked the medium room but there was mix up with the booking and we ended having a small room instead (we didn't even know it was the small room) but I believe it was a blessing in disguise because the medium rooms and all the other rooms did not have a view like this. 

The owner was extremely apologetic about the mix up, and even wanted to upgrade us to the large room but we decided to stay in our little cozy container. I enjoyed waking up to the sounds of the forest. We could hear the river stream, the birds and crickets chirping. We spent most our time drinking tea, reading books and playing by the pool. We even had our little BBQ session for two by the pool. All the BBQ supplies you need are all provided for for only RM 20 (if you bring your own food), if not they have a BBQ package for those who just want to go and have all the BBQ stuff all prepared and ready for them to BBQ away. You'd also be glad to know that this place has ZERO wifi, knowing that, we intentionally did not bring out laptops with us, so no electronic distractions except for our phones, so we could enjoy each other's company to the fullest. 

For all you adventurers out there who loves nature and hiking, Chilling waterfall is just 15 mins drive away. Unfortunately, I'm not one for hiking and I didn't bring anything appropriate to wear for a hike so Nic and I just took a little walk and I enjoyed it very much.


On our last day at Kota Kubu Baru, we took an hour drive to Fraser's Hill and if you love quaint, you'll love Ye Old Smokehouse at Fraser's Hill. Nic and I just spent a couple of hours just sipping tea, enjoying the chilly weather and having some scones and pastries while reading a book. Now that sounds more like me than hiking. 


Then, it was time to go home. I cannot thank Nic enough for the wonderful birthday getaway. It was planned so well and he knew exactly what I would like do and where I would like to go. Also, I haven't gotten around to thanking every single one of you for all my birthday wishes and thank those who came for my birthday party. I felt so blessed to be celebrating with both my friends and family in one place. xoxo.

I've been meaning to get some potted friends for quite a while now. I think they really lighten up the room and make it very cozy. My room is very white, the sheets the furniture, anything that I buy for the room, I stick with white, I just think it looks neater. However, I've always felt my room was never cozy enough because of the white theme that I chose for the room. It was missing some colour. So I went to the little plant nursery nearby to pick up some of these babies to cozy up the room and add some colours and life to the room


Aren't they beautiful? I don't exactly know where I'm going to put yet - when that time comes, I'll probably do a little update room tour on this blog. I'm placing it at my shaded balcony at the moment till I find the right place for them in my room.

Today, I woke up and saw them there, I just feel so happy and inspired, I can't wait to have my early morning breakfast or to do my paintings at the balcony.

Welcome to what I like to call my creative space. I treasure sipping hot tea on a rainy day, the smell of old books and the texture and colour of vintage photos.
