I-City Shah Alam
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.
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.
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 colourful lights. We took a stroll along the park, occasionally stopping to snap photos of the beautiful light displays. Giant Christmas trees and reindeer sculptures can also be seen here.
Other attractions of I-City include the Snowalk. For those who have never seen snow before, I-City is a perfect place to go. Igloos, slides, a mini-bobsled run, snowmen, ice penguins, a bar made of ice and lots of ice sculptures can be found here. We didn't go to the Snowalk though, as there was a huge crowd lining up outside.
Back outside, we continued strolling, enjoying the view of the park. Food stalls, souvenir shops, funfair, amusement games, Lazer Warzone and even a '6 D Motion Theatre' can be seen along the stretch of I-City.
Before we even know it, time had already past midnight. Tired and exhausted, we all took one last group photo before we left I-City. We all returned back home that night with smiles on our faces and vowed to return back soon.

The Giant Ferris wheel standing approximately 100m tall can also be seen here in I-City. We all took turns taking photos next to the Ferris Wheel.

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.

DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteMy name is KC Owens, I’m a college student and I love to travel! While cruising the Internet, I found your site and really enjoyed reading your posts. I have been to countries all over Europe with just my backpack and a camera. Since I am a college student and I have significant bills, it can be difficult to find ways to travel the world. However, I have done this several times, with less than ten pounds of luggage and while on a college dime!
I was hoping that you would allow me to write a post for your site to share my tips and tricks with your readers. I put a lot of time into my traveling, it is my biggest passion and I would love to inspire others by sharing my stories, mistakes and triumphs. I look forward to hearing from you!
Best,
KC Owens
hey KC Owen! Yeah, I wouldn't mind sharing your posts on my blog. I myself love travelling and backpacking. I'm a college student myself and at times my budget would be tight. Still i find ways to get around to do some backpacking.
DeleteCheers !
