[Penang short trip] Up to Penang Hill aka Bukit Bendera

Image
This is my second family weekend getaway with Uncle Mike after Perth, Australia. We drove up to Subang Jaya on Friday after work, and Uncle Mike joined us and drove us to Penang.   We stayed at The Peak Residences which was located at Pesiaran Halia 3 for our 2 nights stay in Penang. The unit was located on the 27th storey and we had a nice sea view from the condominium. The place was well-furnished and spacious. We went to Penang Hill , which is also known by the Malays as Bukit Bendera . It was used as a retreat during the British Colonial period, but it is now a popular tourist destination of Penang.

The railway was opened in 1923.The old railway has been replaced by a new one, ...

A day out at River Safari

Image
I was glad to receive an extended invitation from Claressa to visit the River Safari and I accepted it without a second thought. Beside Baby always wanted to visit the the Giant Duo Pandas, so this was the perfect chance to do so!   It was my second visit to River Safari, but I was still feeling excited as during my last trip, the River Safari was still partly under construction, so this trip completed my excursion of the River Safari!   A Crab-eating Macaque was spotted at the River Safari, and it looked so cute!     There is a 3-metre high aquarium at the majestic Mekong River which is also known as the 'Mother of all Rivers'.   I love the  Mekong River attraction, the best, which is among the 7 famous rivers: Mississippi River, Murray River, Ganges River, Yangtze River, Congo River, Mekong River and River Nile.   The rare seen Chinese Alligator is spotted at Yangtze River, Asia's longest river and ...

Night at the Alive Museum

Korea's first and original 3D entertainment attraction, Alive Museum opens in Suntec City, Singapore. I finally got a chance to visit the Korea's famous renowned 3D museum at a discounted price of 50% (literally 1-for-1 adult admission) with the aid from Jasmine, after seeing all the hilarious moments posted by my friends on FB and Instagram. Baby and I joined her and her friends to the  Alive Museum. Alive Museum is the original 3D visual illusion museum in South Korea which opened in 2009. All artworks are hand-painted and handcrafted by Alive Museum's team of talented artists from South Korea. We girls love the feeling of being 'Under the Sea' , by being a mermaid with the special wind effect! This works by air being blown out of a machine which makes our hair fly gracefully! Long Live Your Majesty. I am the new appointed queen, and you shall bow before me! Baby is a good ballet dancer after-all...
