Born in Malaysia: Malaysian Legacy on Print

September 25, 2014 By Abel Cheng

Born In Malaysia book cover

I love things that bring nostalgic feelings. That’s why this exhibition drew my attention.

While it was still on, I took time out to visit “Born in Malaysia” photo exhibition in one of the art galleries.

What a pleasant surprise. I met the photographer – the man behind the project – at the exhibition. He took us around and explained to us the stories behind photos that he took around Malaysia.

Family Trip to Macau

September 17, 2014 By Abel Cheng

Macau Tower with Fireworks

We took advantage of the UPSR exams holiday for a trip to Macau 澳門 (also Macao).

Macau is Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China, just like Hong Kong. It used to be Portuguese colony until 1999.

From Kuala Lumpur, it takes four hours’ flight to reach Macau International Airport. Macau Airport is not huge and it’s good for travelers as we don’t need to walk too far to get out the airport. [Read more…]

Our First (Real) Camping Trip

September 5, 2014 By Abel Cheng

Pantai Nenasi, Pahang

Honestly, we dared not take up the challenge in the past few years. We were invited to participate in an annual camping trip to Pahang – at least once a year. We turned down every time due to unreadiness and other unknown factors.

But not this year! Somehow my wife and I felt that this is the time to take up the challenge. And at the same time, it’s also a weekend getaway for the family.

We (ok ok, it’s my wife) took about a month to prepare for the camping. We bought some of the equipment while some we borrowed from friends. We don’t mind investing in the tools and gadgets and all things camping, but we are not sure if we (I mean the kids) like it or not. [Read more…]

Johor Road Trip: Legoland Malaysia, Food and More…

August 22, 2014 By Abel Cheng

Legoland Hotel Malaysia

It’s been months since we made the trip. Coming to 9 months to be exact. My bad. I know I have been sitting on it until now before I took the effort to post the story about our Johor trip here. Anyway, better late than never, right?

Since my wife was busy with work, we couldn’t go overseas but decided to take a local road trip to Johor for the year end holiday in 2013. Johor is chosen because it’s the most unexplored state for us.

Needless to say, among other attractions, Legoland Malaysia is the highlight of the trip. [Read more…]

Key to overcoming shyness in children

Shyness

I didn’t expect this to happen so soon. Especially judging from the introvert nature of J.

When she was much younger, J needed much time to get along and socialize with someone she had not seen before. Betting her to go crazy playing with someone she hardly knew would have left you shirtless.

All these and more have changed. I am not saying that she is highly sociable now but she’s at least much better than before. [Read more…]
