Thistle Hotel , Johor Bahru ..... a wonderful stay at JB


Stayed for 3D2N with 2nd son at this hotel . Its' well situated at JB centre , closed to Dataran Johor , Muzeum , the Mosque , Zoo , the hospital and other attractive places . It is closed to the eating places too. To name the few , medan ikan bakar , Mc Donald and coming soon KFC , just in front of the hotel . Also near the famous steamboat eating places , Luton Van , just in front of the Dataran Johor clock tower .

This hotel is 5 star hotel and one of the most expensive hotel in JB . You can feel that you are rich and famous with the way of the treats and the hospitality of the hotel staff shown . But for me if we booking with Agoda.com  , the rate is much more cheaper  and if you have a lot of points , you will end up pay nothing .  A lot of activities offered at this hotel . There are 3 restaurant for your choice in order to unwind yourself  . There are also  spas , sauna , gymnasium and the spacious swimming pool available to rejuvenate and release your stress both physically  and mentally . The things that I feel the hotel should refurbish is their floor carpet . You can see a lot of stains on it , especially along the corridor , the others are acceptable .

So come on , pack your things and stay at this hotel .... Among the family activities that you can enjoyed in JB are the Legoland . Hello Kitty and Lats place . Or just go to Singapore for the Universal Studios . But don't forget to start saving , since it might use a lot of your " dimes "..........

Tok Aman Bali , here we come ..


Spend for 3D2N at this Tok Aman Bali beach resort . Actually this resort situated at Bachok , Kelantan NOT Pulau Bali , Indonesia . Some of the people mistaken by the name of the resort . One of my in law misunderstood , thought that we are holidaying in Pulau Bali .

First impression when we check in , the resort is very huge and the staff very friendly . The resort overlooking very nice and just a distant to the Bisikan Bayu beach . But the beach is not well maintained and the seas quiet rough and not recommended for swimming .  Booked the twin deluxe room . The room is very spacious  . And it is very clean too .

There are a lot of activities they offered which make you and your family feel occupied and as a result getting more closeness to each other . Among the activities that we joined , pedal riding , gym , jogging , spa ( wife and daughter )  and lazying at the swimming pool . We really enjoyed the day !

For dinner , we try the Ikan Bakar package ( RM28 per adult and RM18 per children ) . The seafoods are very nice which served with steam rice , nasi goreng , mee , fruits and nice dessert . Nice to try when you stay over here . For those who want to try local dishes , you can drive to the restaurant nearby which mostly served the seafoods .

We will come back again .....  Recommended  for family day !!

Business Trip to Singapore 2014



Recently we have a business trip to Singapore . I went there with one of my staff . Since my son studied in JB , I asked him to accompanied us to Singapore so therefore there are 3 of us travelling to Singapore . Inorder for cost saving , we drive and stayed in JB . From JB , we took the JSE  bus to Singapore . In Singapore  , we stopped at the Queen Street bus station and then from the station  , we took the the taxi to my principal office .

The weather in Singapore was same like Malaysia . But it is much more hotter and drier . You can see most of the grass turn yellowish colour due to less rain but any how we really enjoy the trip and considered as successful business trip ..... For my son , it is good experienced for him to expose on the technical parts since it is in line on what he is studying in his college .
