April Highlights: I-City, Shah Alam

After the Banting trip, it seemed too early to go home, and we spontaneously decided to go to I-City to finish our night. Well, those sitting in the same car anyway.

By the time we got to the place, the sun was already setting. We made our way to the Ferris Wheel, buying tickets to go on it later. Then we walked around the park waiting for night to fall, because that's when its best offering comes up: the night lights!

I haven't seen a Ferris Wheel in close up for a loooong time and I'm happy to see one :D

Peaceful walk in the park

These are cool! Feels like you're in a spaceship park ^^

And the lights are on~

The flying-swinging ride... hadn't been in one for as long as I remember. I rode it with my colleague and it wasn't very fast but still nice!

Carousel... didn't ride this one. It's for the kids.

The night is upon us and everywhere the lights make things much brighter and suddenly, it's very beautiful.

Then we rode the Ferris Wheel and it was fantastic! :D loved it hadn't been in one for a long time!

Alas, after that we started to go home and it took long due to the traffic jam; nevertheless, the lights from that night made it memorable. That concludes my first ever visit to I-City!

April Highlights: Tanjung Sepat Trip

My team leader brought us all back to his hometown to explore around and eat seafood, and it's my first time out there too, and we hadn't had a gathering together for some time already, so this is perfect!

Travelling by carpooling, we reached there and had lunch Bak Kut Teh, which was quite nice. Then we went to the Morib coast and breath in the sea air. I am very pleased to see the beach again. I love the beach! xD

Then we went to another side of the beach where they are selling seafood and that's the main pull of the gathering. Seafood! Although I didn't eat the prawns or crabs because I don't want to dirty my hands eating them, I still sat around and ate the others.

Fried Sotong/Shrimps

La-las....

Crab & Oyster Omelette

The whole meal

Crab

Then we went around to the shops selling seafood goods among other stuffs. These are tiny prawns and I took a pic is because of the name, it's a name of famous Chinese actress Lin Ching-Hsiah.

Then we were taken to a famous pau store, and there is already a queue outside waiting to buy their famous paus.

Pau menu. I'm getting "Mei-Chai" and "Meat" Pau

This is from the coffee store next door. They grind their own coffee and sells them. It was quite good from my colleague's recommendation.

Got my pau! It was the BEST pau I tried in the Peninsula(not that I had tried many...)!

February Highlight: Genting Highlands Day Two

Day Two of my first Genting trip! Programme for the day: Chin Swee Temple, Strawberry Farm and Mushroom Farm. Yes, more pictures. They just say it all xD

Chin Swee Temple

Good morning! View from hotel room.

We are travelling by cable car down. Gulp!

The cable car experience is okay but I'm paranoid I guess. Nice experience though! Can ride on good weather days.

Yep. See how high it was? Lol...

Mushroom Farm

On our way down, we paid a visit to the Mushroom Farm and had our lunch nearby too. More pics!

Lunch. Bak Kut Teh. Not bad!

Off to the Mushroom farm. Honestly I had no idea mushrooms are grown like this. Hehe.

More pictures taken just outside the Mushroom Farm. Some sculptures and statues outside.

Strawberry Farm

Further downhill we stopped at the Strawberry Farm too. I heard the strawberries are better in Cameron Highlands. Still, this is my first Strawberry Farm ^^ At this height we can already slowly feel the heat xD

Besides strawberries, they also exhibit some other stuffs like bees, honeys etc.

After going around the farm and buying some strawberry products, we completed our journey back to the city. It was afternoon when I got back into my room and I felt like I just came back from another world. It's easy to see why people opted to go up to Genting for some quick getaway from the city; it gives you that sense of escape from reality and allows you to be a kid again.
