ABBEY: Mossy Forest Make sure to prepare for climbing flight of steps as you traverse the path of Mossy Forest. Neat boardwalks are in place but wear comfortable shoes and clothes. Nature really provides cure for us. Our tour guide showed us plants to give relief from headache, stomach pains, and even for survival if you become lost in the forest. The loud “music” of cicadas will definitely catch your attention.  BOH Tea Plantation Ever wonder how white, brown and black teas were made? Well, they all come from the same plant but different parts were used or only different process is being applied. The tea look like a giant blanket that covers the mountain slopes and land. We also went to their BOH Tea Centre - Sungei Palas where we got to taste the nasi lemak and chendol cheesecakes. The former is not recommended as it is only a hype. But the chendol cheesecake is good for a try. You can sip tea as you enjoy the nature around you. Cameron Lavender No tour include...

ABBEY: We visited NEM Blockchain Centre at Kuala Lumpur. It has massive space for hosting 100+ people events, project incubators, boardrooms  meetings, teleconferences, and even a nap room when you get tired.  It also functions as a co-working space for other startup/blockchain enthusiasts. We were also fortunate to meet one of the NEM advisors, then president, Lon Wong.  Our visit was worth the while as we’re accompanied by NEM Malaysia team; Lance, Shin Tatt, Leroy, Anthony, and Sharmilla. Thanks guys. WILL:  Do you know that NEM is one of the friendliest blockchain community you will ever find? Well, how did I know? They accepted me. Hahaha! I am a volunteer in NEM and we need to learn more about the advocacy of the Foundation and deep dive with the technology itself. And on that, we visited the NEM Blockchain Center located at Kuala Lumpur.  Got trained technically (still scratching the surface haha) and we witnessed the day in and day ...

ABBEY:   Here are some of the places we visited for our Kuala Lumpur Trip. For a day tour, wear light and comfortable clothing. Bring water, towel and extra shirt. Batu Caves This is our first destination upon arrival at KL. We came in the morning so it’s not that hot yet and the cave give cool breeze. There is also less crowd. You can reach there via KTM Komuter (last stop). Be prepared to go up. It’s not an easy task specially the steps are narrow (or is it just my big feet?). Marvel and take snaps of the rock formation and be respectful of the place. There are shops below for food and souvenirs.  KL Bird Park For a fee of RM67 per person you can enter the world’s largest walk-in aviary. The birds are accustomed to the visitors and they roam around the park like in the wild. You can see parrots, ibis, peacocks, flamingoes, owls, and ostriches to name a few. Don’t miss the bird show as well. Some birds can be fed with approved food that can be bought on park’s vending ...

ABBEY: After a fun-filled half-day at Legoland Theme Park, we were drenched with sweat. The water is calling us at the adjacent water park. After filling up our hunger, we headed to the pools. First stop is the Buil-a-Raft River. This is their version of lazy river. Since we got tired on the park, we grabbed floaters, laid back and let the current drive us. Lego bricks were scattered along the river stretch and you can build your own raft. Then we tried their slides : Brick Blaster, Splash N Swirl, and Tidal Tube. We got most fun in the LEGO Slide racer. Each of us went to a different tunnel aiming to be the first. Both instances, I won. I'm the heaviest and I built the most momentum.  The wave pool is boring as the waves are not that high but it is the best location to take snaps along with the Legoland sign.  We definitely had a great time on Joker Soaker pool. We were waiting for the giant pail to fill up and soak us with cold water. Even the lifeguards particip...

ABBEY: We went to Legoland last April 7 as part of our "payment" to our Ate Sol for helping us in paperworks of our "cashcows". We were there at 9AM when the park opens at 10. Why? To have our pictures taken without any obstruction just like we had on our visit to Hong Kong Disneyland . We got our jumpshots, wacky and Facebook-profile poses. We also had some snaps at the hotel. We even had our breakfast before the gates open.  When it is about time, we queued up on the gate and the Red Lego brick is welcoming the guests. The staff shouted "Are you ready?" and the crowed roared with a deafening "Yes". The gates opened and we headed on the left side of the park where Project X is located. It was not yet open as testing is still on-going for a couple of minutes. We then decided to try AQUAZONE Wave Racers. This water ride is good. Turn right and you'll be on the outside track and you'll get wet. Turn left if you just want to get dizzy. T...

ABBEY:  Another trip outside Singapore. We had a day tour only. We went our way at 30 minutes past 5 in the morning. We reached Johor Bahru at 7am. For 19 Malaysian Ringgit we boarded a 3-hour bus ride. This is the best time to sleep. We alighted the bus at Melaka Sentral and proceeded in the ticket counter to purchase ticket on the way back. We had our brunch at one of their hawkers for RM 12 for all our food. We hired a taxi for RM 20 and dropped us in the tourist destination proper.  We visited their numerous museums like philatelic and maritime. We struck a pose like Jack and Rose in one of their warship :) Another attraction is their revolving tower at RM 20 per person. We also tried A&W at their megamall.  As the day is about to end we headed to Melaka Sentral and had dinner. At Johor Bahru we cheked in at McDonald's for a snack in preparation for the travel back home. WILL:  After a long planning to go h...
