Since we were offered a free place to stay (from my cousin) in Swiss Court Holiday Apartment Damai Laut, we planned a visit to this wonderful places (Sitiawan and Lumut) again during the recent school holidays. It’s 3D2N trip. What is different this time is we included Pangkor Island as part of our itinerary. Our last visit was four years ago.

Boey yourself
In a rare opportunity, we took J and K to a book signing ceremony last Sunday.
Why rare? Because it’s hard to come across an author who is loved by them and is willing to do the autograph at the same time.
It turned out to be an exciting event for the kids and even for me. The crowd was manageable and we had the chance to ask the author anything we wanted and took pictures.
The problem is J and K only started to “love” this artist-cum-author a few weeks ago. Even though they knew about Cheeming Boey‘s first book “When I was a kid” long time ago, it was not time yet for them to pick it up and read. [Read more…]
Kuala Selangor: Family Day Trip
Our plan for camping in an orchard didn’t turn out well. My friend planned for a day trip to Kuala Selangor last Saturday. Joined altogether by three families: 6 adults and 5 children.
Kuala Selangor is famous for Bukit Melawati, fireflies, and seafood.
We only started our trip to Kuala Selangor at noon. And this was partly to coincide with the lunch plan in Ijok – where it’s famous for Beggar’s Chicken.
Overall it was a good trip but one thing stood out like a sore thumb and it was totally unexpected of. Read on and find out about the unscrupulous operator.
Day Trip to Banting, Jugra, and Jenjarom
I couldn’t stand the itch of not traveling during the recent one week school holiday.
By hook or by crook I had to bring the family somewhere. I have a list of “Where to Go” and Banting and Jugra are on the list. So that’s how our Banting road trip started.
I began planning the trip a week before and had a few items lined up.
We wanted to get more people to go but everybody was busy with their own plans.
As a result, only four of us embarked on the day trip.
Let’s go through where we went one by one: [Read more…]
A Visit to Beris Lake Vineyard, Kedah
Are you kidding? A vineyard here in Malaysia?
That was my reaction when I heard about this. Having a vineyard is not possible in a tropical country like Malaysia – which is hot and humid throughout the year.
But time has changed. We have our very own vineyard in the northern state of Kedah.
It’s not hard to find the place and it’s located next to Beris Lake (Tasik Beris). [Read more…]
