Long overdue post....

Wow ! How time flies,,,it has been more than a year since I have updated this blog of ours....
I'm sorry to visitors who have been coming to this blog and be disappointed that  there were no new entries since June 2011. Well, be rest assured that I am aiming to reactivate postings to our  travel blog from now on.

Well a lot has been happening ever since June 2011.... we have been to a few places but I don't just seem to be able to find the time to post them on this page. The most important event this year for me is the birth of our daughter Izara Damia Aishah on July 2nd 2012. Now she is really a bundle of joy.....

Yup, she is a real chubby girl, born weighing 3.4 Kg now after 3 months she is 7.3Kg......

Baby Izara weighing at 7.3Kg during her recent check-up.....

Rumah Peranginan Persekutuan Morib

On this trip to Morib, we had decided to try out the "Rumah Peranginan Persekutuan" which is managed by the Property Management Section of the Prime Minister's Department. If you are a government servant you'd be eligible to stay at this nice place. Beside this one in Morib, there are other similar ones in Cameron Highlands, Port Dickson, Bukit Fraser and Tasik Kenyir...It only cost RM50 a night to rent out a nice and cozy 2-bedroom chalet which is a real bargain.

This is the house of the Malaysian Badminton Legend, the Sidek brothers.. 

Historical Melaka May 2011

Melaka has been one of our favourite place to visit. Melaka being the nicknamed the Historic City in Malaysia is bestowed the World Heritage City by UNESCO in  July 2008. Here's a bit about the history of Melaka that I was able to pick up from the world wide web....

 

Port Dickson 13th March 2011

It has been quite a while since we visited Port Dickson. The last time we were in Port Dickson was sometime in June 2010. We stayed at Le Paris Hotel then. This time though we wanted to try out another hotel cum resort. We made booking for the Bayu Beach Resort about a week earlier.

Port Dickson beaches especially the stretch in Bt 4 is especially popular with campers

Port Dickson is located in Negeri Sembilan (The Land of Nine) and located about 34Km from Seremban, the capital. Driving from Kuala Lumpur takes about 1 1/2 hours drive and it is basically a favourite spot amongst those staying in the West part of the Peninsular. The place boasts of 18Km of sandy white beaches. Here's a bit of history of Port Dickson that I picked up from the internet :

MATTA Fair March 2011....

MATTA FAIR 2011 held at Putra World Trade Centre is held from 11th till 13th March 2011. As usual, we arrived at the venue around 10am and already people were flocking the entrance. Each visitor is charged RM3.00 for adults and free for children below the age of 12. Upon paying the entry fee, you'd be provided with a bag that would be useful to hold all the pamphlets and hand-outs which you received as you walk from booth to booth. 

An Evening In Genting Highlands....

It has been quite a while since we have been to Genting Highlands. Almost a year I suppose if not longer. Well we were there last weekend but this time we drove our Viva. We actually wanted to test out how our Viva 1.0 would fare out climbing the steep ascent up the Genting slopes. Well it did farely well for a small car....

Gateway to Genting Highlands...

Our travelling trusted friend....

All along our travel within Malaysia, we have been relying much on this device to guide us along. Most will regard a credit card as their trusted friend but I would say, our Global Positioning System Navigator is our best and trusted friend. Since having this gadget, we have yet to lose our way anywhere we go. However, sometimes it would not recognize short cuts and we would end up going the longer route.Nevertheless, the main point and objective is to get us where we would like to go and not ending up elsewhere !!!
