TRAVEL



Assalamualaikum and hello peeps! ^_^

This page is dedicated to list out all my posts on tripping according to locations. I have travelled quite a bit in my life, however I am only blogging about it just recently =D. So you may find only a limited number of locations both domestically (Malaysia :D) and internationally posted so far, specifically from my travels starting December 2014 :P

However I do hope that there are useful information that you can gather here to plan for your future trips. I wish I had known about the pleasure of blogging 15 years earlier so I could share more info with you guys :) 

Oh well, no biggie. I hope this will only motivate me to travel even more and further hahaaa InsyaAllah :P

So enjoy reading the posts below and Happy Travelling!

Outdoor Malaysia | N. Sembilan | Gua Batu Maloi Caving Package

Image
Last updated March 2024 I'm a guide and operator here at Gua Batu Maloi; I've always said to myself that there is nothing like it anywhere else in Malaysia .. it's true, at least not that I know of :P. The most fun caving activity that I've ever done is right here in Johol Negeri Sembilan.  Read on to find out more about my comprehensive caving package.. That's me ;) But before you continue on reading, let's watch a video from Astro Prima's Wanita Hari Ini recorded live telecast for International Day for Women in March 2019. They did a great job featuring Gua Batu Maloi trail in the show.  Whilst the more popular caves are composed of karst and limestone, caving at this talus cave is more like crawling and swimming in the tricky and narrow passages formed in between and underneath giant granite boulders.  What makes it even more special is the fact that these boulders have existed and fallen from 2 mountains i.e. Gu...

Outdoor Malaysia | Perak | Whitewater Rafting in Gopeng

Image
Last updated January 2024 - scroll to bottom for package or contact info Even though I love being in the water so much, I used to cringe at the idea of doing whitewater rafting. The image of water gushing, slamming big boulders in the rapids was not helping either; I mean like, the list of the what-ifs I could think of was  endless =D However, I happen to have friends who are certified whitewater rafting guides and later learned from them that there are safety procedures and measures involved in this recreational sport. Like duhhhh of course la, just like any other sports he he .. but it was until the umpteenth time I asked them about how safe whitewater rafting really is that I finally did it .  This was after several times they told me that they even rafted with kids . So what more could they ever say to convince me? :P I had no more excuse really, except to face my fear and do this yeaahhh ! So on a very early Saturday morning, about 4 am actually, a bunch...

REVIEW | Colosseum - A NEW Event Space in Glenmarie Shah Alam

Image
There is a new hip space for events @ Hi-com Glenmarie Industrial Park in Shah Alam! It's called the Colosseum. Last Ramadhan me and a group of blogger friends were invited for a 'buka puasa' or Iftar function there and to my pleasant surprise the building and amenities were simple yet cool at the same time; its contemporary mixed with industrial type of design seal it for me. I love simplicity and I love modern. The floor-to-ceiling glass wall on one side of the building is also interesting for me, coz i love lots of lights coming into my space ;) The rustic main hall This space is suitable for weddings, meetings, seminars, hi-teas, you name it .. check out the bunting behind me; btw, isn't that bench just adorable? It's made out of metal oil drum . And oh yeah, the whole building is also made out of metal containers - the ones that you see on ships for transporting goods across the ocean.  Talk about re-purposing stuff...

Budget Travel Korea | Seoul | Sulbing (설빙) Korean Dessert Cafe

Image
Meet my rave the Mango Cheese bingsu and Sulbing cafe's  best-seller the Injeolmi toast =D. I read about this dessert place on a Muslim Travel blog and immediately decided that it should and must be on our Korea itinerary ^^.  As you can see, I was really glad that it was =D.   We came here right after  our visit to N Seoul Tower . I could've faked a bigger smile though... LOL kidding! We went to one of three Sulbing cafes in Myeong-dong. Yup, this shopping hub is so busy that you need three cafes of the same chain within a small area. In fact, other brands have multiple outlets here too lol.  The branch that we went to was located on the second floor right above a Nature Republic shop and opposite of The Saem - another Korean beauty line. You can see The Saem signboard in my photo above as we took the window seats facing the busy shoppers-streets of Myeong-dong.  Bingsu is shaved ice topped with _____ ... I mean, with anything you ...

Budget Travel Indonesia | Pulau Weh (Sabang) | Freddie's Chalet in Sumur Tiga Beach

Image
I learned about Freddie's from a couple of travel blogs when I was researching about touring Aceh. What attracted me the most about this place was the food :P But when we arrived, it has so much more to offer. We headed to Freddie's straight from Balohan jetty southeast of the island after about an hour ferry ride from Ulee Lheue Port in Banda Aceh . There were trishaws at the jetty for hire but since I came with my mom and sister (plus our luggage) we passed that one and went for a taxi van instead - shared with other passengers. The fare was Rp 50,000. The taxi van was full so my mom and I sat next to the driver :D We also made arrangements for our transportation around the island with the same taxi driver who picked us up again the next morning to take us around for sightseeing including to the snorkeling spot. But the trishaw could be fun though, if your destination is nearby and you came with friends. Just remember that Weh is a huge and hilly isl...

Malaysia Travels | Melaka | Staying @ Swiss Garden Hotel & Residences Melaka City

Image
Despite living only 50 minutes away from Melaka City, we stayed for a couple of nights at the Swiss Garden Hotel & Residences here just to check out what's hot about this relatively new place. I've stayed at the older hotel branch in Lumut before and have been to the one in Kuantan too but I feel this one is the best of them all just because it's new and embellished with modern arts and architecture. Simple reception and lobby area My sister got us a very good deal on booking.com , RM480++ for a 2-night stay in a standard room. Although this was excluding breakfast, it's still worth the money spent coz when we checked in, the room looked like it'd cost around RM500-600++ a night normal rate. We stayed on the 22nd floor and I took a few photos as we were heading to our room; Cool sofas at the lift lobby on our floor View from the lift lobby on our floor; We could actually see the ocean in the horizon but the sea ...

Budget Travel Korea | Seoul | Han River Live Music Cruise

Image
This, like most other posts is a #latepost haha .. as I mentioned in my post on Yeouido Han River Park , one of the exciting things to do here is of course going on board one of the Han River cruises offered by Eland Cruise company. There are a few types of cruise that you can choose ranging from day to night with live music, guitar performance or even dining (buffet) cruise.  The entrance to the ferry dock The dock from afar For me personally, I prefer the night cruise that showcases a live music show; it takes off daily at 7.30 pm. This one takes a total of 70 minutes to complete; cruising upriver to the east towards Banpo Bridge and from here it returns to Yeouido. Whenever I take my travelers on a Han River Cruise, it would usually be this one - the Han River Live Music Cruise. The reason is simple, it's because we would usually get to enjoy the magnificent day view of Seoul city and the mountains from the N Tower Observatory Deck on Nams...

Budget Travel Korea | Jeju | Raw Seafood & Haenyeo (woman diver) @ Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak

Image
If you read my post on Seopjikoji and Hanhwa Aqua Planet , you'd find out  that we were planning to make it to Seongsan Ilchulbong on foot from there; well, that did not materialize though coz we took a cab instead from Hanhwa Aqua Planet ha ha. It was a pretty short drive; the fare was something like KRW5,000-ish.  When we reached this place otherwise known as the Sunrise Peak, there were crowds of people and the time was around 2.30pm. Most of them came with big tour groups; I could tell from the buses parked in the lot. However all that didn't take away the beauty of this inactive parasitic volcano. The site was huge with meadows of grass and little pink flowers all the way from the carpark leading up to the staircase on the vertical cliff going up to the peak. We paid the entrance fee for two at a counter in the middle of the wide pave-way and walked uphill until we reached a junction; My primary mission for coming to Jeju was to meet the...

Budget Travel Korea | Busan | Samarkand Halal Uzbekistan Food Restaurant

Image
After almost 3 days of instant rice, sambal ikan bilis  (dried anchovies cooked with  chili ) and raw seafood in Jeju , I think we deserved this huge dinner in Busan =D. The restaurant is called Samarkand, which just so happened to be conveniently located about only 50 metres away from our motel in Busan China Town; basically on the same row.  They serve halal Uzbekistan dishes which were mostly deep-fried, grilled meat that comes with french fries - just my kinda food =D .. and oh yeah, they also have a good selection of desserts.  The selections in the menu look really good and even though they were printed in Korean and cyrillic  (Russian alphabet) only, I believe you could do no wrong  when it comes to any deep-fried / grilled food lol.  We went for a plate of grilled beef, some kind of chicken schnitzel (both came with fries) and a plate of deep-fried beef dumplings which look pretty much like mandu , Korean dumplin...
