Gold Coast Morib
My next destination was to the well-known beach here in Sepang, which is more commonly known as Gold Coast Morib. Located near the airport, the journey to the beach took my friends and I almost an hour to get there. Upon arriving there, we were greeted with the cool refreshing, sea breeze and a amazing view.
Chalets built on water can be seen along the end of the beach. These chalets belong to the Gold Coast Morib Resort and is world's first eco-friendly hotel making it an award winning development. The resort here was developed to adapt the cultures of a global village and aims to be an international tourism spot.
Its was pretty hot when we arrived there, but we were lucky as it was windy at that time. We took a stroll along the coastline admiring the little crabs crawling into the sand. The beach here is clean and the sand is surprisingly white compared to all the other beaches I've been to.
As it was a weekday, it was a quiet and peaceful afternoon for us. It was a relaxing and unwinding moment for us, taking in the fabulous scenery whilst sipping coconut juice.
For those who are planning to come here, there are a few things you should keep in mind. The weather here is mostly sunny throughout the year with monsoon season, from September to December. Swimming here is quite safe, just that you got to keep track with the time. The low tide starts in the morning and resides slowly till noon. Whereas towards early evening, the waters begin to draw back progressively. Jason, Nicholas and I were supposed to swim, but then we've forgotten to bring extra clothes. Even so, just being able to dip our feet into the cool waters is good enough for us.

Just before we left the beach, we had a group photo taken by one of the locals here. The beach really comes to live during dusk, when people of all ages can be seen doing varies activities like water sports, volleyball, kite flying, and fishing.

All in all, the trip to Gold Coast Morib was definitely worth it. It is a nice place to unwind and to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city life. It was indeed a relaxing place to be in, being able to put aside all our problems for a while.

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. Entrance of the Universal Studios Singapore Universal Studios Singapore is easily accessible by public transportation. Just take the MRT to the Harbour Front Station at VivoCity via the North-East line (purple line). Upon arriving there, follow the signboards leading to the Sentosa Express which is at the 3rd floor of VivoCity. Get down on the Waterfront Station - first statio
Gunung Gading
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. Entrance fees are RM10 for locals and RM20 for foreigners. The park is not only known for the world's largest flower, Rafflesia, but also for its scenic waterfalls and wildlife. Spotting a Rafflesia flower is hard, as thes
Bako National Park
Hey there! Sorry for the late update. Been quite busy lately with my studies. I'm off once again, this time to Bako National Park. I was with my friends, Faris and Xavier. Since we all had a break from our studies, we decided to go to the national park. Bako is located approximately 37 km north of Kuching, and it takes around an hour plus to get there. Being Sarawak oldest national park, Bako is actually the smallest national park yet it contains all the types of vegetation found in Borneo. Being made a protected area since 1957, Bako has been reputable for its vast wildlife experiences. Visitors who want to spend more time here also have an option to do so as there are chalets along the Bako National Park Headquarter.
