This fair is special for those who like to go for tour/holiday either locally or abroad and also  umrah for muslim . Normally the package comes with good offer and discount if you booked or purchased it during this event .

We went there on the 1st day for the great sale . There are amazingly still a huge of crowd even though there are negative market scenerio in term of weakening RM and world  economics . I believe people already do some savings/ budget and will spends once per year especially for those who love travels . Likewise , we are one of them . The fair also participate by a lot of tourism agencies , including hotel , flights ,  cruise , local states and many others . There are also participation from other countries like Korea , Indonesia , Nepal and China , to name a few . We already set up our minds that we will looking  for  Umrah package for this year .

While we strolling around asking for the best offer , we meet with a good looking young Korean man asking us wheather we have been to Korea before . We told him that we had been to Seoul , visit the mountain , Everland and Nami Island during winter season . And we stayed at IP Boutique Hotel near Itaewon . We , Malaysian ,  really love winter since it is good/unique experienced for us .especially playing with snow . We have a brief chit chat and take a photo . Nice to know you , Mr Kim .. Hope to see you in Seoul during our future trip to Korea , insyaallah .

As for our wish list , we booked a Umrah package with Rayhar Travels with a good discount for 5 pax for this coming December trip . Nice to talk with you , Miss/Mrs Masnira of Rayhar Travels Sdn Bhd , your hospitality gave a good image of the company . Looking forward for the trip , Insyaallah  !

Aidilfitri 2015

Aidilfitri come again . As usual our  activities during the festive  :

1. Aidilfitri prayer , Celebration and gathering with family at our kampong , Kuala Terengganu .
2. Invite friends and relatives for an open house at my house in Kemaman .

Aidilfitri as usual is the most awesome and greatest celebration in our yearly festive especially for the Muslim after completed their fasting in a month of Ramadhan . For me , this is the last Aidilfitri to be remember as a carreer person before I start my next journey towards the betterment of my Life . Pray to Allah SWT so that I will be blessed for whatever I'm overtaking after this . Wish this is the time for me to remeasure myself and restrategized for the good of my innerself and family .  Looking forward for next Aidilfitri , Insyaallah .

Fyi , many people said that I'm  a little bit pale , thin and tired . Not just because of I'm fasting alone but also two weeks prior to Aidilfitri . I was admitted to KMC due to some illness and was warded for almost a week . And during this Aidilfitri , I'm  still under medical leave for a month  . Pray to Allah SWT so that my health recovering and back to normal again very soon  .

Mitsui Outlet park KLIA

Been to this outlet after pick up my wife from the KLIA where she arrived from her 14 days trip in Europe during last school holidays .

Compared to JB Premium Outlet which is an open concept or outdoor ,  this outlet is more on indoor concept where you can shops in nice cool aircond environment which is much more suitable for the Malaysian climate .

During our visit there are still not many shops opened . From the information given , they will be fully 100% operating by this coming Sept'15 .

Another shopping heaven in Malaysia , with the weak of ringgit value compared to Dollars , this will be a must visit for the foreigner tourist to shops here .... as tagline : shops until you drops !


Interesting facts on this outlet :

1. It's going to be huge malls that cover 25,000 square metres of retails space which house around 140 outlets when fully launched . Phase 2 will be completed in 2018 while final phase is scheduled for 2021 .
2. Mitsui Outlet park KLIA will be the first branch in Southeast Asia .
3. The mall will have 4 concepts ; Sunshine Square ( luxury street lit by skylights) , Pier Walk ( a chic esplanade ambiance ) , Tropical Plaza ( a greenery-filled avenue ) and Beach Walk ( a breezy simulation of the beach .
4. There will also be flight SITA check in kiosk services and a free baggage storage service .

School holiday trip to Bandung 2015 .... Mbtsholiday

This is my first experienced using services from Mbtsholiday in Bandung . Its all started with an advertisement in one of my previous blog posting about our holiday in Bandung . Contact the company focal  person Mohd Tony via Email regarding the quotation for their transport and driver . He quote me the price , a Suzuki Elf that can cater for 12 persons and a driver to suit my requirement for 5D4N . Negotiate the price for some discount  and  finally we agreed on the final price , with a promise of promoting his company ... so here we are !

Touch down in Bandung , our driver from Mbtsholiday , Pak Adri patiently awaiting us due to our flight re-time . He greet us with big smile and warm welcome . 1st impression , he is nice guy and very polite . And that's true ,  through out his service , he is very friendly and helpful plus treat you very well with his good ethical driver and act as unofficial tour guide .

A compliment surprise from Pak Mohd Tony , he did send his representative from his office  , Pak Holick to accompany us as a tour guide for a shopping at Pasar Baru . He is also a very helpful young man and make our shopping day more happening especially to my wife and my sister . He did mentioned that  Pak Tony even  asked him to take good care of us . Thanks Pak Tony !

One incident to share , I lost my prepaid telco card in the van but they replaced it with free of charge . Another big thanks to him and this show that they are very committed and know how to handle and taking care of their client .

But anyhow there is something to be improve further and my tip to share :

1. Please save your driver handphone number since it is much easier to communicate with him  at any time due to whatever good or bad reason . Did send my whatsapp to Pak Tony on one occasion but no respond which I think he didn't recognise my Indonesian prepaid no's.
.
2. The transport is very clean with good air cond and tip top condition .

3. The driver and the shopping guide is the "BEST" ever experienced with Mbts Tour . WELL DONE .

4. Its would be better if I can meet Pak Tony in person or any " special  whatsapp " aired which represented him as a " courtesy call" or " personal touch "   .  My proposal , it much more better if  they can provide a complimentary mineral drinks daily as I experienced before with my previous transport agency .



As conclusion , I really satisfy with Mbtsholiday  and fully recommended for their services while you are holidaying in Bandung .

B). Tran Studio Bandung :

The special theme park for the kids and youngster . The entrance fee is Idr200k but if you buy from hotel or travel agent , you can get special discount of 10% . My observation on this place since my last visit a few year ago  , now a lot of games is under maintenance and no new games or attractions introduced , so as the science center . But it is really funs for the kids to enjoy it while in Bandung after following your hectic shopping day .

D). The Stone Cafe restaurant :

Have dinner at this restaurant for first time . One of the finest restaurant in Bandung . Situated at the highest point of Bandung city . In normal fine weather , you can see the beautiful and colorful Bandung city but in our case , the night is raining so we cannot see the city clearly . We really enjoyed our dinner whilst listening to the live band and feel a "natural aircond" of 20 degree C .
