Dining Experience @ Cyberview Resort & Spa

So, during my birthday month, I stayed and experienced the best ever spa session at Cyberview Resort & Spa. And I have another Best Experience during my staycation at this heaven-on-earth resort. The food!

best staycation, Chinese restaurant in Cyberjaya, Cyberview Resort and Spa, Rawlins GLAM, Staycation, The best resort in Putrajaya and Cyberjaya, dining experience in Cyberjaya,

Can't remember the exact name of the cuisine, but it has delicious smoked salmon in it!

Of course. We Malaysians love our food and will fight tooth and nails to defend the treasured food of Malaysia. Here at Cyberview Resort & Spa, you will be spoilt for choices of food. There is Verandah, the Pan-Asian restaurant for the local taste. Or should you feel a bit Italian, there is Bistro Cascata that excels in wood-oven thin crust pizza and other highly acclaimed Italian cuisines. And there is also, Xing Zhu Restaurant that serves Cantonese infused cuisines and you can savour 'All You Can Eat' Dim Sum. And to enjoy the rest of the night, stop by Karma Bar & Lounge to enjoy the cold beverages and light snacks. One's palate will no never go unsatisfied here at Cyberview Resort & Spa.

The poolside

Bistro Cascata by night - looking so homey

So, what did Rawlins GLAM ate? I chose to be a little adventurous and went to Bistro Cascata for my dinner. Bistro Cascata is located on the poolside and looks like a cute little Italian cottage from the outside. Entering Bistro Cascata, one can actually smell the wood burning and I was quickly reminded of my hometown where my late grandmother used to cook rice over the fire using wood. So homey! It was spacious and there is also a wood-oven, cooking pizza! Excited about the possibilities, I quickly ordered my dinner. And guess what peeps? I have forgotten to take all the name of the cuisines as I was famished and salivating by looking at the food. So just enjoy the pictures and if you want to know what I was eating, please visit Bistro Cascata!

The wood-oven - it was cooking pizzas during my visit and smell so heavenly

Forgotten the exact name but I know for sure that this steak is DELICIOUS!

Bon appetit!

Me and my sweet tooth!

Come to think about it, my full tummy is another reason why I had the best sleep ever while I stayed at Cyberview Resort & Spa. The next day, as I have to reach the office for an early meeting, I went to Verandah by 6:30 am. And I was the only one there! Yes! I get to take my own sweet time to choose and eat the breakfast - I have the Verandah for myself!

No one is around! Yeay!

Guess what I had for breakfast?
As a Malaysian, I must stick to our root so I started with a complete set Nasi Lemak and a yummy and fluffy omelette!
Then I went for toast bread and accompanied by some desserts!

And super loving the fresh watermelon juice!

Just the right breakfast combination for me!

My review on the food here at Cyberview Resort & Spa?
Taste: 4.5/ 5.0
Service: 3.5/ 5.0
Variety: 4.7/ 5.0

What your scores about the food galore here?
Do share with me ok.

Amber Chia

Amber Chia Shares Her Shizens' Beauty Secrets

For the fans of America's Next Top Model (ANTM) and also the various countries version of ANTM, each will be dreaming of meeting the models and perhaps someday, strutting their stuff down the runway (namely #RawlinsGLAM). HaHa

Shizens Malaysia, Beauty review, Aqua Pore Perfection, Silky Matte Finish Foundation, Smack Lips, Rawlins GLAM, Beauty tips, Amber Chia, Supermodel

Me with Amber Chia (Thanks Shizens)

Pity her, she has to bend down for me -a very down-to-earth model and business mogul

But that dreamy vision will take quite some time to materialise as #RawlinsGLAM is vertically challenged. HaHa. That is why I opted to become a beauty blogger (of sort) and do some makeover (on myself) while sometimes, I do try out beauty products too.
When I was invited to a beauty sharing session with Ms Amber Chia, I was ecstatic! Who doesn't! To get to meet the country's most beautiful and successful model is just like meeting Her Majesty, Queen Tyra Banks herself!
So, there I was, sitting with the beauty bloggers and influencers, listening to every word of sharing by Ms Amber Chia in the middle of Mid Valley Mega Mall and awed by her beauty. She came to the event with very little make-up, just some powder and lipgloss and she was still strikingly beautiful.

Amber Chia and Samson Chan sharing their beauty secrets and techniques

Ms Chia shared that she was not always beautiful as she was a daughter of a fishmonger and often helps her father selling fish in the market in her younger years. She was not the one to care for the skin and facial back then. It was not until she was discovered by a talent scout before she started to care for her skin and the rest is history.

'Loving yourself in your own skin is the key to beauty and confidence. But first, you have to take good care of the skin by using the right products and drink lots of water' uttered Ms Chia. She shared her beauty regime and also how she started to put her trust in Shizens beauty products.
Mr Samson Chan (Shizens Makeup Trainer) showed the crowd how to look beautiful in no time and no hassle with Aqua Pore Perfection and Silky Matte Finish Foundation. Applying the foundation using our own finger is the fastest and the best way to ensure the control and the coverage advised Mr Samson Chan.

--------------------------------------------- Trivia About Shizens Shizens is an up and coming skin care and cosmetic brand, propelling its expansion in Malaysia as well as the regional market. Inspired and infused with bountiful natural ingredients, Shizens offers a wide range of products that are created to revive and nourish a person's natural beauty. Shizens believes everyone has a unique natural beauty that should be revealed and not concealed.
Shizens' products are a combination of eastern values, emphasising on the benefits of botanical extracts; and the advancement of western technology, enriching the products with natural ingredients selected from different parts of the world. ---------------------------------------------

After the demo on Ms Amber, we were brought over to experience and discover the Shizens' products in its boutique in The Gardens Mall.

There, with the help of the Shizens-not-appointed-ambassador, Ms Syafiera, I got to know the function of each product and how to put them on. We get to play with the products there and literally conquered the vanity counter to ourselves.

Super loving the gifts

Thanks Shizens for the door gift of Shizens Silky Matte Foundation and the new lipstick, fondly named Smack Lips. As per shared by Mr Samson Chan, I applied a very minimal coverage of Silky Matte Foundation during my recent trip to Siem Reap and I loved the experience of using it. I applied a small amount of it as it has wide coverage and it felt light on the skin. Thank God for the coverage as it helps with the hot weather in Siem Reap and it does not melt! Haha. I haven't tried Smack Lips but Ms Syafiera loves it and I take her words for it too!

The happy bunch

Follow Shizens for more beauty tips and who knows, Ms Amber Chia might share some of hers too.

Co-operative and Consumerism

MyIPO Protects Your Creativity

Malaysians are getting more creative by the day. I see a lot of new creations and brands coming up and I often wonder if all these innovators/ creators/ business developers/ entrepreneurs protect the labour of their creative thinking ie their products. Because 'copycats' love to imitate a great idea and tweak it into their own, which happens a lot nowadays. In Malaysia, we have heard about songs, makeup brands and headscarves designs being copied and some are being discussed in courts to solve the issues.

MyIPO, Perbadanan Harta Intelek Malaysia, Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia, CTSS15, Ministry of Domestic Trade, Co-operative and Consumerism, KPDNKK, Rawlins GLAM

I have said that it is a kind of a recognition as 'copycats' only copy the best but I don't think the business owner would have the same sentiment about their creative inventions being duplicated.
In Malaysia, there is a statutory body that is responsible for the development and management of the intellectual property system i.e. patents, trademarks, industrial designs, copyrights and layout designs of integrated circuits in Malaysia. The body is called the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia or fondly named MyIPO.
Facts About Intellectual Property

Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the intellect for which a monopoly is assigned to designated owners by law. Intellectual property rights (IPRs) are the rights granted to the creators of IP and include trademarks, copyright, patents, industrial design rights, and in some jurisdictions trade secrets. Artistic works including music and literature, as well as discoveries, inventions, words, phrases, symbols, and designs, can all be protected as intellectual property.

While intellectual property law has evolved over centuries, it was not until the 19th century that the term intellectual property began to be used, and not until the late 20th century that it became commonplace in the majority of the world.

Source: Wikipedia

Trivia about MyIPO

MyIPO is an agency under the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Co-operative and Consumerism and prior to 1983, the intellectual property rights were administered by Pejabat Cap Dagangan dan Jaminhak before changing its name to Pejabat Cap Dagangan dan Paten and placed under the jurisdiction of the then Ministry of Trade and Industry.
After a restructuring on 27 October 2990, the office changed its name to Intellectual Property Division and placed under the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (which is now Ministry of Domestic Trade, Co-operative and Consumerism). The division was tasked to administer Patents Act 1983, Trade Marks Act 1976 and Copyright Act 1987.
Some acts that come under the jurisdiction of MyIPO [Industrial Designs Act 1996 | Layout-Designs of Integrated Circuits Act 2000 | Geographical Indications Act 2000]
The Division was corporatized on 3 March 2003 and renamed as Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (PHIM) before rebranded to MyIPO on 3 March 2005.

So, what kind of services do MyIPO offers to the mass?

Lots and lots and in such simple steps, your creative inventions will be secured and protected.

Hurm. I think now I want to also register #RawlinsGLAM as my intellectual property so that I will be the only one using it since I have been using the hashtag for like... forever for all my social media sharing.

As more and more entrepreneurs coming up, MyIPO is the best solution to protect all their creative inventions and by doing so, it will save them a lot of troubles when someone is claiming their rights over the inventions or manipulating their design to gain profits. As it is also MyIPO's mission to providing strong legal infrastructure and effective administration regime to enhance greater creativity and exploitation of intellectual property.

We all know that the court processes might take a while and a lot of cash, so it is the best for all innovators/ creators/ business developers/ entrepreneurs to register their business on the website to avoid the costly affairs.

A Perfect Staycation @ Cyberview Resort & Spa

November has past and December is here. But I will still write about the birthday gifts that I have received from so many people.

best staycation, Chinese restaurant in Cyberjaya, Cyberview Resort and Spa, hotel with bathtub, Rawlins GLAM, Staycation, The best resort in Putrajaya and Cyberjaya,

Welcome to Cyberview Resort & Spa

The festive lobby

I was invited to a staycation at Cyberview Resort & Spa which I happily accepted! I was supposed to check in at 3 pm but due to a hectic day at the office, I was only able to check in after office hour. Thus I was not able to capture its lush green and beautiful landscaped gardens and its surrounding. I went back to capture these beautiful views on another occasion as I feel that I will not be doing the place justice without sharing with all of you these views.

I have actually visited Cyberview Resort & Spa for a few times to attend courses and meetings but have never stayed in one of its room. I was happy to find the abundance of parking spaces in front of the hotel lobby where I was greeted and ushered in by the ever-smiling staff there. Based on my previous visits, I know that Cyberview Resort & Spa is literally a resort in the middle of a booming city, Cyberjaya. It is strategically located in the middle of the greenery of Cyberjaya that gives a serene and calm ambience during my every visit - at times it feels magical even and unbelievable that this amazing resort is in the middle of Cyberjaya's technology, business and commercial district. Thus befitting the motto it carries 'Cyberjaya's Best Kept Secret'.

Trivia About Cyberview Resort & Spa Cyberview Resort & Spa is a 5-star boutique hotel, a veritable paradise set on 28.8 acres of award-winning landscaped gardens, featuring world-class quality of service and unparalleled Malaysian hospitality. Surrounded by towering palm trees, lush foliage, splendid tropical gardens and meandering paths, the resort effortlessly blends rustic charm with its state-of-the-art comforts in all its 112 lovely chalets, suites and bungalows.
The resort features cosy rooms with four-poster beds and teak furniture of which 106 are chalets, 2 are two-bedroom suites and 2 are two-bedroom bungalows. There is also an exclusive honeymoon suite (Mawar Suite) and a presidential suite (Bunga Raya Suite), both with garden view jacuzzi tubs. Besides the usual in-room amenities, all rooms feature complimentary wireless internet services, cable television, in-room safe, private balcony, desk and living area.
For those who seek to please their palate, the resort's Bistro Cascata offers fusion Italian culinary delights in the afternoon and evening, with a choice to dine in its intimate setting or under the stars. The more casual Verandah Restaurant serves Pan-Asian cuisines within its high ceiling roof, wooden timber floor and clear panel windows glass. Karma Bar & Lounge is a favorite rendezvous for its afternoon snacks and drinks. Alternatively, there is also Chillax Pool Bar for those who want to relax by the pool. Xing Zhu Chinese Restaurant serves tantalising Chinese delicacies with a hint towards Cantonese cuisine. Upon checking in, I went straight to Sembunyi Spa to have the Maha Brata Experience. My checking in was a breeze - no hassle or long questions. Once done easing my mind, body and soul from the daily stress from work, I went straight to my Chalet. I drove to the quarters and was so happy to see the abundance of parking spaces. Some hotels and resorts do not prepare enough parking area for the guests. Here, the spaces are right in front of the quarters which eases my bringing my bags into the room. I learned from Reef that when he checked in earlier (he was on time haha), he was chauffeured to the quarters by the staff via buggy. Talking about vacationing like a boss, right!

The beds

When I entered the room, I froze in front of the door. The room was so huge - it has one queen-sized bed and a super single bed and I was alone! HaHa. I have invited a few friends to enjoy the room with me but everybody was busy. So, I get to enjoy the room all to myself (~~can run naked in the room haha~~).
I immediately went to the bathroom to check out its facility. Wow! There are a separate rainy shower and a bathtub! Yes! Someone will be having his bubble bath later!

The bathroom

The huge and complete closet

Checking out the rest of the room made me grinned with satisfaction. Whenever I stay over in a hotel, I will always call the receptionist/ housekeeping department to send up an iron + ironing board and also a prayer mat. Here, everything is ready for use in a huge two-door closet - complete with 2 beautiful green bathrobes and slippers. On the work table, I found a bowl of fresh fruits, a compliment from the resort. That was so thoughtful! I tried taking a picture on the balcony but it was already too dark and I also had to prepare for the dinner at Bistro Cascata. So, I showered and dressed up before heading for a scrumptious dinner at Bistro Cascata. Once dinner was done, I went back to my room and prepare the bubble bath.

Preparing my bubble bath

While waiting for my bath to be ready, I watched a movie on the 32-inch flat screen. Then I realised that the resort also has a DVD player and i-pod dock ready for the guests to use. If only I brought my favorite movie. HaHa.

After the bubble-bath session, I just put on the robe and read a novel while putting on a movie on the TV and sipping #MinKaffe. I love the very innovative and space-saving coffee counter they have installed in the room. It looks like a huge and tall wooden and when you open it up, it will become a coffee-counter with a water heater and a fridge.

Reading on a comfortable bed is heaven!

The innovative coffee-counter!

It must have been because of the spa session I had earlier and also because the bed was so comfortable, I think I had the best sleep ever that night. How do I know that I had the best sleep? That's because my Garmin watch recorded the longest deep sleep ever that night. I woke up happy and contented the very next day. Another quality that I like about the room was it's wide vanity mirror and its counter top. It was spacious and ready with hair-dryer. No more fighting over the mirror here!

The spacious counter on the vanity mirror

The mirror is wide, enough for 4 people to get ready, all at once

A very comfortable bathrobe

Before checking out, I went to have my breakfast at the Verandah Restaurant.
Oh my! I was spoilt for choices here! And the best thing was, I was the first one to be in the restaurant so I took my own sweet time to choose and order my food. HaHa.
Whoever went for a breakfast in a hotel at 630 am right? All in all, I had the best night and the best sleep ever for a very long time. Thanks to Cyberview Resort & Spa, my staycation there was the most relaxing and most pampered that I have ever had. So, now you want to have your own staycation too? Just head on there and let it all out!
