Elephant Sanctuary at Kuala Gandah

It’s about 1.5hrs drive from KL, surrounded by beautiful scenery. Visitors get to feed elephants with peanuts and watch a 10 minutes elephant show, quite interesting. Though, sad to see those undernourished elephants..

Across from the centre is a small deer farm, which visitors can feed deer and take pictures with sun bear. Don’t miss that..

Underwater gym

First time seeing an underwater gym that has all the gym equipments like treadmill, bicycle, stepper..under the water. Neat!

Genting vs Resorts World Sentosa

I still prefer Genting, which is much bigger in size. Resorts World Sentosa is new and nice, however couldn’t get entry tickets on a Monday afternoon at Universal Studio was a real turn off. I suppose I have never come across going to any theme park by not selling tickets on the same day. Though in general, service in Singapore is really good, very polite and well-spoken.

Rare coins found in Sarawak

These are my latest coin collections, not sure why there is carving on the Japanese coin.  明治二十七年 means 1894, really amazing and detailed craftsmanship..

Satellite dish in Sarawak

Almost every household in major cities of Sarawak has a satellite dish installed to receive over 100 TV channels from around the world for free. This is something that folks in developed cities won’t get to enjoy even paying monthly subscription.

Dolphins & Sea Lions show in Sunway Pyramid

Eastin Hotel Penang next to Queensbay Mall

This is a brand new hotel next to Queensbay Mall in Penang. Though I'm quite disappointed with their deluxe seaview room which is facing directly to rows of moldy roof. Wondering why roof can turn so moldy like that.. Baystar condo in front does have really nice seaview with units facing Jerejak Island.

I am quite amazed at the rate of development in Penang. In less than a year, a lot of new houses and condos have been built.

At Gurney drive which crowd throwing mud balls into the sea few months back. Sea still looks very muddy and polluted, doesn’t seem to help that much yet..

Aquaria at KLCC

Aquaria at KLCC is well maintained and clean. It has quite a number of displays with touching pools and feeding show.
Do you know seahorse will grow pot belly when it turns adult? Interesting..

Watch a kid serving badminton

Children really have great potential in anything only if parents let them expose more. Watch how this soon-to-be 4 years old boy serving over the badminton net.

Gemia Island, Terengganu

Gemia Island is about 15 mins boat ride from Marang jetty. It is a secluded island with crystal clear water and all sorts of sea creatures that you can snorkel along the shore to explore. Though beware that sea urchins are abundant especially during low tide in the late afternoon. It is an excellent island for snorkeling, kayaking and rock climbing. Service and food at Gem Island Resort is good, staff are friendly.

Flora Festival 2009 at Putrajaya

There were quite a number of awesome displays at the festival. First time viewing some real hot air balloons too..

Guided Tour at Sentosa Island in Singapore

It’s fun to spend your weekend with family to Sentosa Island. There are lots of attractions on Sentosa that you can easily spend a whole day there.

Images of Singapore is very informative museum to know more about history of Singapore.


Look at the pink dolphin at Dolphin Lagoon, so adorable..


If you want a closer look at pink dolphins, pay SG$15 to touch and take home a 5R photo.

Attractions in Kuching, Sarawak

There are quite a number of hotels located along the Sarawak River where you can take a scroll along the river and to bring home souvenirs and famous cake lapis, a traditional layered cake. Attractions in Kuching are scattered in different directions with quite a long distance drive, do ask for tour information and departure time once arrived.



There are a few Sarawak museums in Kuching with Iban and Sarawak history, very interesting..


The best time to go to the crocodile farm is during their feeding time, where you can catch a closer look at crocodiles.


Sarawak Cultural Village is a huge center displaying different type of ethnic houses, along with traditional games, handicraft demonstrations, and dance performances.


Cultural show is very entertaining with blow pipe performance.

Batu Cave in KL

Looking from afar, it can be quite odd to see Batu Cave is being surrounded by houses and apartments. While walking up the stairs, beware of monkeys attack which they will grab whatever on your hands. Inside the cave are few temples which also come along with very unpleasant smell. I think the cave really needs to do some major cleanup in order to attract tourists..

Across from Batu Cave is Kepong Metropolitan Park which has a lake for fishing, jogging trail and children playground. The lake is quite nice and be able to catch medium size bass.

Christmas decorations in KL malls

See pictures of really nice X’mas decorations in KL malls. Along came with X’mas songs that really make you want to shop more..

Circus display in Mid Valley MegaMall

Animal sculptures in The Curve

Rabbit Fun Land at Broga in Selangor

Rabbit Fun Land is about 30 mins drive from KL if you don’t get lost on the way. For the price of rm50, a family of four gets to pet and feed rabbits at a small excluded area and to dine for rabbit meat.
Scare to try? Just go for rabbit meat sausage, tasty and tender. It tastes sort of like German pork sausage but much better in texture. You can also get addicted to it once you tried..

Cake decoration contest at Jaya One in PJ

Passionately Pink is having community events this month on weekends for the Breast cancer campaign at Jaya One. We were lucky to win first prize at the cake decoration contest. It was fun..

Green Environmental event at Taman Lembah Kiara park

There were quite a few environmental related booths set up yesterday at the park. One particularly interesting item on sale was reusable sanitary pads which are made of cloth. Good effort but who would want to wash them! The roller blade beginner class also attracted some crowds since inline skating isn’t that big of a sport in Malaysia.

On the way back home, we got a pair of skates, a balloon, a tree and more brochures, flyers.. Now I wonder how Green Day event can really help the awareness of the public besides planting trees..

Home Entertainment PC

Acer’s home entertainment pc fits nicely on TV cabinet with such a small size. The size is just a little bigger than Nintendo’s Wii. It comes with remote control, wireless mouse & keyboard, TV tuner, radio.. It provides all the functions needed for home entertainment by simply pressing on the remote control. It’s a great product for those who like to sit back on couch to surf or watch internet videos on bigger screen.

1 Utama Easter’s decoration

Those balloons decorated so cute at 1 Utama ground level for celebrating Easter. There are different fun activities for children to join these 2 weeks, such as egg hunt, painting egg contest..

During school holiday, Milo also sponsored games and activities at 1 Utama LG level. For the puzzle competition, it was such a surprise to see children being so pampered with all kinds of toys that they aren’t able to put simple puzzle pieces together..
