Baby Lisa 7th Month Celebration at Four Seasons Resort Langkawi

29 June 2023 marks Baby Lisa’s 7th Month milestone and my mother’s birthday celebration. For this special day, we spent our time for drinks at Rhu Bar and dinner at Ikan-Ikan.

And with that, we conclude our short family getaway at Four Seasons Resort Langkawi.

A big thank you to everyone at the resort for making our stay truly memorable!

A weekend in Langkawi for Harpreets Wedding

4 Feb sounds like a magical number now - I'll wanna remember how anxious and annoyed I was to have my flight from Subang delayed to Langkawi while Dan & Joanna had to wait for me. Rushing to the resort and finally getting to the wedding venue only to realise we were early anyhow lol. That type of nervousness the three of us got while awkwardly feeling our way through the sea of strangers from mainly the grooms side.

I have never met Rich and it was so funny how looking back I still HAVEN'T MET RICH. But seeing Harpreet so happy made me cry. I can't believe its been 9 year since we first met and spent some questionable days and nights together. We were so young when we first met and now that we've all gone thru almost a decade, it feels like forever since we even started uni.

The Four Seasons Langkawi felt like a love letter to Harpreet & Rich's love story - they really did tell their story so well to the rest of the world (the rest of the world being the closest 70 people in the wedding). Eventhough the timings for everything was off, dinner was @ 9pm and we were downright judging the saxs guy so hard but we had so much fun just catching the sunset, laughing at how red the white people got under the hot SEA sun, how the music choices were jarringly different between the bride and the groom's friends....ultimately, we ended the night sharing a cab and drunkendly dancing and singing the night away - or until the gin runs out.

The next day was the best, I woke up, had breakfast with Nicole and said my goodbyes to Joanna and Dan. I decided to extend my checkout and go to the beach for some much deserved me time. Really grounding myself in the sands and giving myself back to nature. Trying my hardest to get a tan and really getting one :)

Spending some time with Rich's friends and making sure I make plans with them. Its been such a great time. Looking back I really am truly so happy and fulfilled that I am surrounded by good friends in my lifetime. What a time to be alive. I just wish this feeling never ends - of course whenever I come back my mum would be ever ready to remind me how jealous she is of my holidays by being the spiteful bitch she is. She is never happy that I am happy.

I came home from what seemed to be yet another dinner ruined by my mum, rushed upstairs to have a meeting with Andrew on uPledge business - and he broke the news to me bout how he really wants me to get off the hourly rate arrangement to the more part time partnership arrangement. This just means more money and definitely more responsibility - I'm determined to take it to cover my rent for this year.

Of course, having said that, I need to be mindful of how I'm splitting my time between my full time job and uPledge. I cannot for the life of me imagine myself being the person I'm picturing myself to be and I'm truly feeling so grateful not just for the opportunities given to me but the person I am choosing to trust I will be and carving that into existence.

I realize I don't give myself enough credit for the things that I do. I truly hope that if I am ever down - I can look back on this and remember the person I envisioned myself to be in 2023 and really live it out to its full potential. I'm also so thankful for Aaron. Being in my life and supporting me, wanting to grow and work hard for money is not something I pictured him to be determined to do but seeing how easy it is it comes to him and him being the best version of himself just makes me so damn happy. I love this journey for us and I hope maybe one day, Aaron and I can come to a point where we could be as happy as Harpreet and Rich.

Feature Friday

Crazy Rich Asians (2018)

When Rachel Chu travels to Singapore with her boyfriend to attend a wedding she learns he comes from an insanely rich family who may not approve of him dating someone like her. Crazy Rich Asians was filmed in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and elsewhere in Malaysia.

The Young family encounters some racist hotel clerks at the Eastern & Oriental Hotel in Penang, Malaysia who become concerned when they learn that the Youngs have recently purchased the hotel.

Nick invites Rachel out to eat at the BLVD House in Kuala Lumpur (posing as New York) where has asks her to come to Singapore for the wedding.

Nick is recognized at the restaurant leading to a text thread around Singapore including Merlion Park, Esplanade Park, Gardens by the Bay, and Marina Bay Sands.

Word eventually reaches the woman at book club taking place in the Young hillside villa and Eleanor decides she needs to call her son. This was filmed at the Be-landa House, a unique home built into the hillside for a Dutch family outside Kuala Lumpur.

Rachel and her mother go out shopping for clothes at Musse Boutique in Kuala Lumpur posing as a NYC vintage shop.

Rachel is surprised when Nick and she are personally greeted upon their arrival at the airport. This is Kuala Lumpur International Airport posing as JFK.

Astrid visits a high-end jewelry store to spend exorbitant amounts of money. A restaurant in The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur was transformed into this store.

Nick and Rachel arrive in Singapore’s Changi Airport where they are greeted by Araminta & Colin, the two betrothed.

The four of them go out to the Newton Food Centre where Rachel gets a chance to try Singapore’s beloved food experience.

During their time in Singapore Rachel and Nick stay in the Presidential Suite at the famous Raffles Hotel.

Rachel visits her friend Peik Lin at her eccentric family’s ostentatious mansion located at 4 Cluny Park.

Peik Lin drives Rachel to the pre-wedding party, turning off Eng Neo Avenue onto Fairways Drive.

They arrive at the massive and secluded Tyersall Park, home of the Young family, and join in the festivities. The original Tyersall Park in Singapore has been demolished or fallen into ruin, so the production filmed at Carcosa Seri Negara, a pair of colonial-era mansions that currently house a museum inside the Perdana Botanical Gardens in Kuala Lumpur.

The bachelor and bachelorette parties both depart from a private hanger at the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Kuala Lumpur.

The bachelorette party takes place at the Four Seasons Resort on Langkawi island in northwest Malaysia.

Just to the north of the resort in Pulau Gua Bay, Nick and Colin escape the ridiculous original bachelor party to hang out alone and drink beers. While much of this location was real, CG was used to conceal parts of the resort nearby.

Peik Lin comforts Rachel at Humpback after the confrontation with Eleanor during the dumpling making party.

Rachel makes a splash at Colin & Araminta’s wedding being held in Chijmes, a 19th-century church restored and turned into an events venue.

On the way to the wedding, Astrid gets into a fight with Michael and he storms out of the car just before Anderson Bridge.

The wedding reception featuring hundreds of people and fireworks is held in the Supertree Grove at Gardens by the Bay.

Rachel arranges to meet Nick in Merlion Park to talk about what happened at the reception and leaves after he tries to propose.

Eleanor goes to her regular mahjong game to find Rachel waiting and they have a tense conversation. This is a combination of two locations, the exterior being at the Yen Yakiniku restaurant in Singapore, and the interior is Cheong Fatt Tze (aka The Blue Mansion) in Penang.

Rachel and Nick celebrate the engagement with a huge party on the pool deck of Marina Bay Sands.

Baby Lisa Mangroves and Eagles Safari at Four Seasons Resort Langkawi

One of the signature local tours that Baby Lisa cannot miss at Four Seasons Resort Langkawi is the Mangroves and Eagles Safari where an experienced guide brings us across the mangroves to learn more about the natural habitat of the local crabs, eagles, monkeys, and snakes so that we have a better appreciation of the delicate balance of the surrounding ecosystem.

Baby Lisa handled her first speed boat ride very well and enjoyed the breezy weather while meeting local wildlife for the first time.

Surrounded by the beauty surrounding us, we tried our best to capture every fun moment while Baby Lisa is excited at sitting right at the front of the boat to enjoy panoramic views of the mangrove.

One of the highlights of our safari is the rainy weather which greeted us at every twist and turn. Fortunately, Baby Lisa is adaptable and managed to stay dry and happy in her mummy’s arms. A big thank you to our amazing guide who managed to keep our spirits high despite the bad weather.

Stay tune for more Baby Lisa adventures at Four Seasons Resort Langkawi!

The 10 Most Eco-Friendly Luxury Hotels for Earth Day – Robb Report

With constant news of a climate in peril, some of the world’s most luxurious properties are joining the green revolution with a variety of inventive techniques. Many hotels are making a start with simple methods such as switching plastic straws for the paper variety, and providing guests with drinking water from reusable glass bottles, however, we’ve found a few resorts around the globe that don’t think that’s nearly enough.

From anti-poaching initiatives in South Africa and coral-reef restoration projects in Mexico, to solar panels in the Maldives that help offset the equivalent of hundreds of flights per year, these 10 resorts are going above and beyond in an effort to make every day Earth Day.

  Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru, Baa Atoll, Maldives

Considering it’s set in the aquamarine waters of the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru has an added level of environmental responsibility—one which it takes very seriously. So seriously in fact that the resort recently installed 3,105 solar panels on the rooftops of its staff village, making it one of the country’s largest resort-based solar installations. The perennial sunshine bathing the island nation means the panels will help power the resort’s guest rooms and electric golf carts, and amounts to an annual savings of 300,000 liters of diesel and 800 tons of CO2—the equivalent of 544 flights between London and the Maldivian capital of Malé each year.

The Datai Langkawi, Malaysia

The Datai Langkawi is surrounded by the ancient gnarled trees, hanging vines and canopies of a 10-million-year-old rainforest. With that kind of natural environment to protect, it’s clear why the resort’s 2018 renovation, led by architect Kerry Hill and interior designer Didier Lefort of DL2A, focused heavily on sustainability. The new on-site nature center is run by a team of dedicated naturalists and marine biologists who not only lead workshops and nature walks for guests, but have launched the “Fish for The Future” program, creating artificial reefs that provide a sustainable ecosystem for local fisheries.

Trisara, Phuket, Thailand

Named for a Sanskrit word that means “the garden in the third heaven,” Trisara is practically nirvana—and not only for its striking infinity pool villas, white-sand beach and emerald hillside location. Its high-concept restaurant PRU, presided over by chef Jim Ophorst, was bestowed with Phuket’s first Michelin star in 2018, and is a promised land for eco-conscious foodies. All ingredients on the six- or eight-course rotating menu are sourced entirely from within Thailand, and mainly from Trisara’s very own four-acre organic farm, which uses natural pesticide alternatives and compost from the restaurant’s leftovers.

Fairmont Mayakoba, Riviera Maya, Mexico

Giving back to the local community is paramount to the ethos of Fairmont Mayakoba, even if that community is one of the world’s largest aggregate collections of whale sharks whose home is the Mesoamerican Reef offshore from the hotel’s dazzling stretch of sugary beach. In partnership with Oceanus AC, a Mexican organization focused on coral reef reforestation, the resort is allowing guests to get involved in the combat against coral bleaching and loss of marine habitats by participating in coral reef reforestation and adoption programs.

Amanzoe, Porto Heli, Greece

Melding with the ancient land, culture and people of the Peloponnese is the concept behind Amanzoe, Aman’s Porto Heli resort that resembles a modern Grecian temple. With a belief that supporting the local community promotes true sustainability for the area, the property (which is a Robb Report Best of the Best winner) runs a multitude of waste-reduction initiatives, including one that donates used guest slippers, worn staff uniforms, bed linens and room curtains to the KESO Institute, which teaches unemployed women how to sew. The donations are then artfully transformed into new items, thus create jobs for the women, and importantly, keeping the old textiles from ending up in a landfill.

Tortuga Bay Hotel, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

The Tortuga Bay Hotel set within the Puntacana Resort & Club is famed for soft sand, lapping turquoise waters and jaunty yellow villas with interiors designed by the late Oscar de La Renta. But the complex is also making waves in the area of sustainability. The Puntacana Resort & Club’s not-for-profit foundation has embarked on multiple ambitious environmental projects to reduce their footprint, including a zero-waste program that vastly reduces items being sent to landfills, expanding its wastewater treatment plant which returns 100 percent of the water to irrigation purposes. In 2018, the resort also opened the Caribbean’s first Center for Marine Innovation.

Set 160 miles north of the South African city of Durban, Thanda safari lodge sits on a 34,600-acre Big Five private game reserve with a luxury tented camp, bush suites, and a massive private villa complete with a helipad. The lodge takes its name from the language of the local Zulu people—thanda means “love,” and that’s just what the property is showing South Africa’s population of rhinos. In collaboration with Project Rhino KZN, an organization dedicated to anti-poaching and conservation programs, Thanda lets guests participate in the Thanda Safaris Ulwazi Research & Volunteer Program, which tracks and darts rhinos for identification purposes before releasing them back into their habitat. Since it’s launch, the program has been successful in saving dozens of rhinos from poaching.

Arctic TreeHouse Hotel, Rovaniemi, Finland

Finland was recently named the world’s happiest country according to the 2019 World Happiness Report, an accolade it has won for two years running. A connection with nature is claimed to be the reason behind this high-level cheer, a statement the Arctic TreeHouse Hotel embodies daily. The Northern Lights are a frequent visitor aglow eerily above the streamlined, geometric glass-and-wood houses, all constructed of sustainable Finnish wood that the property contributes to maintaining by planting 5,000 to 10,000 new seedlings per year in the surrounding forest.

Six Senses Uluwatu, Bali, Indonesia

Opened in fall 2018, the goal of the new Six Senses Uluwatu is to blend entirely within the natural surroundings of Bali’s southwest coast. This paragon of sustainable architecture was built on land carved from a sea-hugging limestone cliff, and then entirely reconstructed in a futuristic design using the same limestone. All resort furniture was sourced from sustainable wood found within local regions of Bali. Water also plays a leading role in the hotel’s ambiance, and the water features that permeate the resort grounds are fed by a mix of rainwater catchment and resort wastewater treated at the on-site water treatment plant.

andBeyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge, Botswana

Resorts set in the most remote locations are often champions of sustainability, not only from a desire to do right by the planet, but also out of sheer necessity. AndBeyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge is no exception. Bordering the vast Moremi Game Reserve, the lodge uses 63 percent renewable energy from an on-site solar plant. Perishable products that must be flown in from elsewhere are transported in specially designed, reusable cooling containers, eliminating the use of the single-use plastics and Styrofoam often used in food freight. Additionally, plans for 2020 include installing a bottling plant to eliminate 100 percent of plastic water bottles.
