The A-Famosa Resort

4:21 PM | Labels: ,

Continued from previous stories  :)

After a short trip to explore the Taman Mini Malaysia & Asean.. Our journey continues to the main destination... The A-Famosa Resort !! Yessss... this is the place that we wanted to go actually. Spending the night here.

Mayangsari Suite is the place we overnight. The Suite is a fully furnished moden concept apartment and complemented with 1 or 2 bedrooms, 1 bathrooms, living hall and pantry. We choosed to stay in apartment that have two bedrooms.

Just arrived at the apartment
Happy time
This resort is ideal for those who want peace.. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This resort provides many facilities for visitors. Such as Golf, Animal World Safari, Water World, Cowboy Town and Sport & Recration Centre.  Each facility provides a wide range of activities for visitors.

However, we simply choose only to enjoy the convenience of Cowboy Town. Even the town is only open at night starting at 8.30 pm to visitors. The visitor were queuing to buy tickets as early as 6pm.. Semangat jg durang ni mau pigi tinguk tu Red Indian..

The Red Indian show..
I wonder apa kena mengena gajah dgn Red Indian
At the Cowboy Town
After buying the tickets.. we went to tapau for dinner at a stall near the resort (outside the resort). Beli di luar murah.. hehehe... harga makanan dalam ni resort mahal. Buli tercabut nyawa sbb kena heart attack kalau tinguk harga mknan di sini...

Bila berada di Pekan Koboi.. aktiviti pertama mcm besa la.. aktiviti bergambar-gambar.. pantang-larang nmpk poster cantik mesti mau bergmbr.. kalau buli.. setiap sudut tu kami mau bergambar.. termasuk tiang-tiang yg ntah-apa-kebende.. hahahaha.

Unfortunetely, our excitement interrupted due to heavy rain and we decided to go back to the apartment. Up in the apartment... rest.. sleep.. coz tomorrow have to drive back to KL where the hustle and bustle of the city waiting for our arrival.

Stay tune for the next destination... chowwww !!

Taman Mini Malaysia & Asean

11:54 PM | Labels: ,


I need some rest..... far away from these crowded KL City.. HOLIDAY !!! yes... it's time for cuti-cuti Malaysia. This time we choosed Malacca, the historic city... err... looks like Malacca again huh.. *smile*

Our journey started at 9am... is it too early to start this journey?? No it is not.. it was too late because we expect the traffic will occur during the trip. And our expectation is true. Starting from Hentian Nilai until susur keluar ke Malacca, kesesakan teruk berlaku.. damn !! Penat tu kaki pijak klac.. huhuhu. Time ni la aku rasa nak drive keta automatic transmision.

148 km a head journey usually takes only an hour and a half to arrive. However, that day.. it took up to 2 and a half hours to the destination.. Jem punya pasal..

JEM.... dari highway sampai masuk tol..
Explored the Taman Mini Malaysia & Asean.... yesss... This is our first stop before continuing the journey to the main destination.

If you are curious about the history of Malaysian architecture or in other words, if you want to see the traditional style of housing of all the 13 states of Malaysia, their people and their ways of life, then this is a “never-miss” destination for you!

The Taman Mini Malaysia cultural park, located few kilometers outside Malacca, near the town of Ayer Keroh, built on a singular concept of portraying the essential culture of Malaysia through its architecture and the rooted way of life of its people. 

Banyak-banyak rmh d sini... tangga rumah Sabah yg paling susah mau naik.
Basically, this is a rare opportunity to see the whole Malaysian architecture and heritage in a short all-encompassing way.  And of course, a visit to the park will lend you a break from the constantly buzzing life of urban Malacca!

There is also a mini ASEAN park inside the park , that sports the culture of the whole Southeast Asia, the architecture, and lifestyle of the peoples of the whole region.  You can also go and have a look there.

Although the general view of all these houses seem to be the same, they are not !! Because each one has its own identity and uniqueness. In addition to these traditional houses, visitors can also see a variety of cultural performances in addition to the traditional game.

SHOPPING TIME....
Till then.. stay tune for my next destination... chowww !!

Melaka Maju 2010....

3:34 PM | Labels:




CONGRATULATIONS to the peoples of Malacca.. !!!!! For me and all Malaysians, we are very proud of the declaration..

Malacca has been declared as a special public holiday today, to mark its declaration as a developed state. Announcement was made by the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak via video conference at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC), Kuala Lumpur, last night.

Interestingly, the declaration was made promptly at 8:10 pm (2010), the date of 20.10.2010. -- The numbers 20:10, 20/10/2010. So unique... isn't?
According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Melaka treated as a developed country after meeting the five key aspects including economic, social, infrastructure, environment and administration.

Various events have been and will be held in conjunction with this.. Antaranya Kayuhan Melaka Maju 2010 dan Gotong-Royong Perdana.. According to some sources, the event also aims to record the most number of cyclists who participated at one time by the Malaysia Book Of Records.. So, kepada sesiapa yang ada basikal tu.. jom la sertai acara ini.. mana la tau kan dpt jg sijil daripada Malaysia Book of Records.. hehehe.


Five important aspects that include 32 indicators that are not lower than the target set by the OECD. Among them are related to the rate of inflation, unemployment, the growth rate of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), life expectancy, mortality and crime rates.

Once again.... congratulations to the peoples of Malacca... !!!

Bandar Hilir, Malacca

9:36 PM | Labels:

The famous amos A'Famosa

TODAY, let's talk about the state of Malacca. The historical city...

For those who wish to travel to Peninsular Malaysia, especially to Sabahan and Sarawakian.. The trip to Peninsular is incomplete without visiting Malacca. The journey from Kuala Lumpur to the city takes about 2 hours or more than that.. it's depend on your driving skills.. Hahahaa... but, safety first la... jangan pandu laju... nanti kena saman speed trap.. RM300 melayang ooo... so, kekalkan kelajuan anda 110km/h..

If you don't have your own vehicle atau malas mau sewa kereta.. Do not worry, many express bus companies that provide transportation services to the state. Pilih ja syarikat bas mana yang kamu mahu.. hanya dengan kadar tambang RM8.00 sehala.. ye ke RM8.00?? maybe la.. hehehe.

From Puduraya Terminal KL the bus will stop at Melaka Sentral Terminal.. from here you can hire a taxi or city bus to continue to the Bandar Hilir where most of the attraction places located. Normally, this is the first stop for the tourist to explore Malacca.  Dont be suprise if you see all the buildings in Malacca is old-school... That why we call "Malacca The Historic City".

There are few good choices to tour around Bandar Hilir Malacca. For young and fit people, walking around in Melaka town or Bandar Hilir will be the best choice to view the this historic city. At the same time, you can capture your favorite shots of various angles or poses at your  leisure. To get a good map, go to tourist information counter. An up-to-date Melaka map is available at RM5.


Heading up to the St Paul Church... you can view Selat Melaka sea from up there.

However, for those folks who are prefer not to use too much of leg muscles or perhaps physically challenged, there are other alternatives to get around and seeing Malacca as well.  Flowers decorated trishaws or some called it "Beca" in Malay are available.. if not mistaken, it costs around RM40 per hour.. okay la kan.. penat tu driver mengayuh tu beca bawa kamu pusing2 bandar.

Or..... you can take the Mamee Double Decker's bus.. advantage of taking these buses is you may get down at places of your interest and hop on the next bus to continue touring. To catch these buses, wait at Renaissance Hotel or Orkid Hotel along Jalan Bendahara in New Chinatown. 



Mamee Double Decker... on the right is the Muzium Samudera.
 Around Bandar Hilir.. there are lot of historical museums such as Muzium Samudera, Muzium Kesultanan Melaka and many more.. hmm... I pun belum explore lagi muzium tu semua.. hehehehe.... maybe next time la.

And as usual, to enter most of the places, enterance fee paid by you of coz.. don't worry, it's not expensive la.. less than RM5 per person.

What you can find at Bandar Hilir, Malacca:

- A'Famosa (must go to this place)
- St Paul Hill @ our lady of the hill
- Dataran Pahlawan
- Muzium Istana Kesultanan Melaka
- Jonker Street (Baba & Nyonya)
- Little India
- Stadhuys Building
- River cruise
Stay tune for more story about Malacca in the next entry..... chooowww.. !!
