We left the year 2012 without the 'End of the World' with a full celebration of lights and fun at i-City Shah Alam. Located near Seksyen 7 Shah Alam is a must visit place when you visit Selangor.

i-City is a night theme park and there is much to do and see here, from shopping to snow filled indoor park, to beautiful neon lights that adorns the gardens. You may need to pay for the parking fees of RM10 and while entrance is free but you need to purchase a prepaid card to get into any ride or attractions.

Well, I know most of it made of plastics but your kids will definitely enjoy it. It was unforgettable Saturday Night Lights ever especially the Giant Ferris Wheel ride. Now you can even visit during the day with the new attractions WaterWorld @ i-City!!

Then you can either grill or self cook with tom yam soup. Price for adult Rm21.90 Children (6-12) RM9.90. Children under 5 eat for free!

Finally after a long wait, LEGOLAND Malaysia opens its doors to public including us that travelling back to Johor Bahru just to get here. We arrived at around 9am in the morning for their grand opening in a history as Legoland's first park in Asia a sixth in the world. I'm always a big fan of Lego toys since 5 years old and so glad that they are here in Malaysia close to my hometown.

Qaiser Aqilis first time experience @ LEGOLAND Malaysia

For me, LEGOLAND Malaysia is a fantastic place for families with 7 main parks, over 40 interactive rides, shows and attractions. Situated at Medini, Nusajaya Malaysia near Kota Iskandar very easily access from North South Expressway Exit to 2nd link to Singapore. Opens Mon-Tue, Thu-Fri and Sun (10am-6pm), Sat (10am-8pm) Closed on Wednesday.

Mr. Kabab & Beryani, Putrajaya

noreply@blogger.com (Malxn) — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 12:00:00 +0000

Mr. Kabab & Beryani, Putrajaya

Another famous Middle Eastern-Pakistani Cuisine in the center commercial area in Putrajaya is Mr. Kabab and Beryani. It's also well known restaurant among government staff here in Putrajaya. I had tried Arabian food once in Cyberjaya know as Saba and this is not so much different. Maybe the interior design is much more attractive, easy to find parking and more comfortable dining area.

So my all time favorite will be Lamb Mendy Rice and Barbican drink.

Don't forget to try the Garlic Nan bread and the kebabs too!

It will never get better than this at Muara Ikan Bakar Tanjung Harapan....

Bagan Lalang feels too far? Why not try this Muara Ikan Bakar Seafood at Tanjung Harapan, Port Klang. I went several times to this area to eat Chinese seafood but never try this one.

Book your table early to get the best view of fantastic sunset at Tanjung Harapan while enjoying your 'ikan bakar' and seafood. There is also variety of others local food to choose like nasi lemak and satay.

Don't forget to walk by the beach after dinner to see the night market along Tanjung Harapan. For me, the easiest way to get here is by Kesas Highway exit to Klang North Port.

Master Diver Malxn @ Payar Island Underwater

It was my second trip to Payar Island Marine Park, Langkawi ex Swettenham Pier, Penang. My first time was 3 years ago but it was not so enjoyable compared to this one!

Payar Island can be reach by ferry either from Langkawi or Penang Island. For mine I just book from Langkawi Coral and depart from the Zone 2 next to the cruise ship bay.

After 1 hour and 45 minutes I reach Payar Reef Platform. I was surprised because there were no other tourist except me and 1 Singaporean couple. 'Owh ya.. it's a weekday and not yet a school holiday'.

Pulau Payar Marine Park and Reef Platform

Dive with East Marine Divers, Langkawi

After a while a boat transport me to the Payar Island. 15 minutes later a dive boat from East Marine Divers arrived, boarding the boat and prepare myself for dive. After 1 dive they tranport us back to the the island for lunch and follow by another dive..

Seahorse

Black tip sharks and beach view

Both dives was great. Coral bleaching is minimal and you can even sport more marine life here than other places on the west coast. I even spot a Seahorse! The wrecks is small but worth to dive to see the diversity of marine life and vegetation. For snokellers they can even feeding the baby sharks on the island.
