Did you know Yoodo is Malaysia’s first truly customisable and 100% digital mobile service that is powered by Celcom, Malaysia’s widest 4G LTE network. Basically users can come up with 2 million combinations of DATA, VOICE MINS and SMS based on their own needs and can ADD-ON data packets to suit their lifestyle. It’s the only telco with CUSTOMISABLE UNLIMITED plans! Paling best is users are not tied up with any contract and can renew their mobile data plan ANYTIME.

On 4 July 2022, I was invited to attend an online briefing – Yoodo Travel Blogger Briefing Session and am really attracted with what Yoodo is offering to us now – ROAM LIKE HOME – extremely beneficial to frequent travellers and those who will be travelling overseas soon!

With the ROAM LIKE HOME package, you get full access to your Data, Voice and SMS at a flat daily rate from as low as RM5/day! This international roaming service that lets you enjoy the same local experience while you’re travelling is available to 53 different countries. The best part is NO SIM card needed. So you’ll never lose your SIM ever again.

So you must be asking, what’s so great about the ROAM LIKE HOME package? Check out the benefits of getting a Yoodo’s ROAM LIKE HOME compared to bringing a pocket wifi or travel SIM below:

ROAM LIKE HOME	POCKET WIFI	TRAVEL SIM
Instant connection	You’re responsible for another device (one more thing you need to charge).	Sourcing out an overseas prepaid SIM can be painful.
Flat daily rate from RM5/day	Have to be within the range of the device to stay connected.	Switch out and register an all new SIM card.
Retain your local number, so you can always receive phone calls and SMS.	Data is usually throttled after hitting your limit.	You’ll miss out on important alerts via SMS or calls on your local number.
Use your local Yoodo plan overseas.		Data pricing is different depending on your location. High chance of it fluctuating too.
No bill shocks!

How to subscribe to Yoodo’s ROAM LIKE HOME package?
Just purchase it via the dashboard on the Yoodo app. It only costs you RM5, RM10 or RM20 per day depending on the country zone you are visiting.

Extra Perks for Being A Yoodo User
Another perk of being a Yoodo user is you get extra Cashbacks via ShopBack app when you purchase your trip necessities like hotel packages and flight from Booking.com, Agoda, KLOOK and Trip.com. New Shopback users also get a RM10 Sign Up Bonus! For more information visit: https://www.Yoodo.com.my/shopback

Yoodo’s Referral Programme
There’s also another perk only for Yoodo users! You stand a chance to win a trip to Seoul, Bangkok or glamping in Malaysia when you refer your family and friends to join Yoodo’s big family! All you need to do is to “Invite Friends” on Yoodo’s app and get them to sign up with your unique referral code. Not only that, your friend whom you’ve invited gets a guaranteed staycation* in Malaysia for 2 pax and will also join in the running to win the trip prizes! Just make sure that they spend a minimum of RM30 on their plans and stay on for at least 31 days. Isn’t that interesting?

Cyber Eco Hunt 2022 – Towards A Sustainable Future

June 18, 2022May 10, 2023 dixonthum

I am so glad that I have the opportunity to play a small role in this meaningful event Cyber Eco Hunt 2022 by @alamflorasdnbhd with the theme “Towards A Sustainable Future” in Kuantan, Pahang.

The event aims to show commitment by Kumpulan Alam Flora and their continuous effort to reduce 40% recyclable wastage sent to disposal sites towards 2025. I had so much fun with the other participants who are also fellow bloggers and influencers in all the activities in each checkpoints.

The event was officiated by Dato’ Mohd Zain Hassan, CEO of Alam Flora Sdn Bhd, and also attended by Tuan Sharudin bin Hamid, Director of SWCorp Pahang.

There are a few points that I have learned from this activities:
1⃣ Dispose garden wastage like tree branches and bamboos the proper way, so that it is safe for Alam Flora staff during rubbish collection.

2⃣ “Beach comber” is used to clean up the beach around Teluk Cempedak, which removes rubbish like cigarette butts, plastic bottles and cans from the sandy beach.

3⃣ Segregate recycleables into 3 main categories – paper, plastic and others, and sell them to any Buy Back Centre or 3R on wheels. Earn when you recycle.

4⃣ 1 Supervisor 1 Transformation Area (1S1T) program, an initiative by supervisors of Alam Flora to improve the surroundings of their servicing area, an effort giving back to the community. They beautify the area, build playground and garden, make and paint sculptures with recycled rubber tyres and many more.

5⃣ Dining with tiffin containers to avoid using ‘single-use plastic’, is a more environmental-friendly way to pack food. Also, avoid food wastage can help to reduce methane gas which contribute to global warming.

6⃣ Plant more trees to make the Earth greener.

I was lucky enough to win a prize for one of the tasks we had to do throughout the event – Saya Sayang Bumi, Tree Planting (Blogger category). Very grateful to my team mates and glad to know other fellow blogger and influencer friends with the same passion and interest.

You can also be a part of this effort and join Alam Flora’s “Manage My Waste” TikTok Vlog Contest. Head over to @alamflorasdnbhd or this click this link for more information.

A Daytrip to Seremban

April 29, 2022May 5, 2022 dixonthum

A #throwback of our trip to #Seremban

The fried kuey teow with etxra cockles was delicious! We shared among ourselves cause the portion was quite generous.

Went to the centipede temple as it was recommended by a friend, and it was quite near to the fried kuey teow coffeeshop.

Enjoyed strolling around town, doing nothing much, but just admiring the surroundings and trying to hunt for surprises.

The street murals were definitely a surprising discovery for us. Didn’t expect so many colours in our short trip.

Short trips like this should happen more often! 🚙

Interesting spots (Google Map):
📍Pin Xiang Lou Restaurant
📍Siew Pao Master
📍Macao Emper Tart
📍Wu Gong San Chinese Temple
📍Pasar Besar Seremban
📍Lorong Seni (Seni Seremban)

Checking in at Hotel Capitol’s 10Rooms

April 18, 2022February 21, 2024 dixonthum

@dixonthum
We definitely enjoyed our stay at Hotel Capitol Kuala Lumpur Thank you for your hospitality.If you are also looking for a place for a #staycay in KL, check out http://www.instagram.com/hotelcapitolkualalumpurBook here: http://www.capitol.com.my #HotelCapitolKL #10Rooms #hotelstayinKL #staycationinKL #staycationinBukitBintang #hotelreview #travelinKL #cuticutimalaysia #travellokal
♬ 다라리 (DARARI) – TREASURE (트레저)

Located in the heart of Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, Hotel Capitol Kuala Lumpur @hotelcapitolkualalumpur is one of hotels located in the most strategic spot in the city. It is next to the iconic Sungei Wang and Low Yat Plaza. Other nearby shopping malls are Lot 10, Pavilion KL and Times Square. Very convenient and easy to find all kinds of food and entertainment. Restaurants, cafes, fast food, street food, luxury shopping, grocery stores, convenient stores, you name it, you have it!

This time, my wife and I had a #staycation in one of Hotel Capitol’s 10Rooms which are only available on the 19th and 20th floor of the hotel building. Stylish and contemporary designed with cosy ambience and spacious.

The view from the windows is amazing! The best is it comes with a bath tub. Very suitable for honeymoon couples and even to those with young children too.

I managed to make some time for a short workout in their exclusive gym. Very private and comfortable to use. Well equipped with dumbbells and cable machines. There is also a small space for my wife to practice her yoga.

The only minus-point is the parking, which is located in Low Yat Plaza across the road. This could be slightly inconvenient to those who travel with many luggage and bags as you need to carry them from the car park to take the lift and walk across the road to the hotel lobby. However, it is complimentary for hotel guests. All you need to do is to validate the parking ticket with the hotel staff. Remember to choose parking ticket instead of using TNG card upon entering the car park at Low Yat Plaza.

Note to Capitol KL: Two of your staffs, Sunthari and Hasmadi (I hope I got their names right) were very helpful during my check-in and throughout my stay.

I am glad that I have made the right choice to stay a night here in Hotel Capitol KL.
