I-City Shah Alam

Image
Just recently, I got the opportunity to visit the City of Digital Lights also known more commonly as I-City. My friends and I didn't have any problems finding I-City as it is brightly lit up and can be seen from the Federal Highway at night. Even before we got there, we were all very excited. Upon reaching I-City, we were greeted by brightly illuminated, forest man-made trees which were covered with millions of colourful and vibrant LED lights. View of the Ferris Wheel from afar Designed by world-renowned architect Jon A Jerde, I-City was designed as a fully integrated intelligent city, with the aim of attracting both local and international investors. It is declared as an International Park, being a tourist hot spot with its City of Digital Lights, Snowalk and various theme park rides.  Man-made forest coming to live at night Looking around, I guess I know why they call it City of Digital Lights. The trees really do come alive at night with the majestic and colourfu

Penang Toy Museum

Image
This time around, I headed over to Penang for a short trip with my friends. While we were there, we decided to drop by the Toy Museum, which is reputed to be the world's largest toy museum. Toys maybe children's best friend, but walking through the front doors is like stepping back into childhood. Young or old, anyone who steps in the toy museum is very likely to be awed and amazed by the huge collection of items there. The World's Largest Toy Museum Toys and action figures from all kinds of  movies, comic books and anime can be found there. I couldn't stop taking pictures in the toy museum, especially with my favourite action heroes, Ninja Turtles ! I had a really enjoyable time, looking at all the toys here. Chilling out with Leonardo, from the Ninja Turtle I also took the opportunity to pose with my all time super-hero Batman and also the main character from the movie Tomb Raider.

Universal Studios Singapore

My next trip was to Singapore. I had a week off, so I decided to backpack around Singapore. There were a lot of places which I visited there. Therefore, I am going to kick it off by blogging about Universal Studios Singapore (USS) first. Opened in 2010, Universal Studios Singapore consists of 24 movie-themed rides, of which 18 which are specially adapted for the park. The park consists of 7 themed zones :- Far Far Away, Madagascar, Hollywood, New York, Sci-Fi City, Ancient Egypt and The Lost World. Each of these zones is based on blockbuster hits, featuring character appearances, shopping and dining areas.

Gunung Gading

Image
Whilst I was still in Kuching, I took the opportunity to explore the place even further. This trip, I headed over to the Gunung Gading National Park which was located in Lundu, around an hour plus journey from Kuching. Being overlooked most of the time, Gunung Gading is a great place to go for those who love the outdoors. I made my way here on a Saturday morning with my family. The national park can be a little bit hard to find as the signboards leading to it is kinda small and hidden away. After driving uphill for about 10 minutes we arrived at the entrance of the park. W e started our journey, after handing over our numbers to the park ranger. Entrance of the park The park's HQ The Gunung Gading National Park is opened daily from 8am to 5pm.
