Malaysia's Beautiful Islands

Idyllic beaches, clear blue waters, palm trees gently swaying to the rhythm of crashing waves ・visitors have always been enchanted by the unspoilt beauty and tranquillity of Malaysia islands. Many of them are famous worldwide; more than one Malaysian island has been called a tropical paradise, and aptly so.

They offer a host of water activities for those who like to get physical. For example Pulau Tioman (Pahang), Pulau Redang (Terengganu) and Pulau Rawa (Johor) are popular spots for scuba diving and snorkelling. Pulau Perhentian (Terengganu), which consists of two islands ・Pulau Perhentian Besar and Pulau Perhentian Kecil ・have beautiful coral gardens within its waters.

Pulau Langkawi, which is famous for the Mahsuri legend, is also a duty-free shopping haven. This paradise also offers several attractions besides its beaches. There are Telaga Tujuh (Seven Wells), Tasik Dayang Bunting (Lake Of the Pregnant Maiden), wildlife sanctuary Pulau Singa Besar and Pulau Payar Marine Park, to name a few.

There is something for everyone at these islands. If you have lots of energy to burn, you can enjoy water sports like sailing, windsurfing, deep-sea fishing, kayaking, snorkelling and scuba diving. And for those who are looking for a relaxing holiday, the beautiful beaches with their awe-inspiring golden sunset/sunrise will leave you with many memories to cherish

Amazing Dubai

I am always dreaming to have a break in Dubai. But what can i do. Again time constaint. Always busy now and then. But (for the second time), i will find my time no matter what, to mark my footprint in Dubai one day.

Dubai is not only a dynamic international business centre but also a tranquil hideaway with five star amenities. Dubai has something for everyone with the crystal blue waters of the southern Gulf on one side, majestic desert on the other and the added attraction of year round sunshine. Dubai is a shoppers’ paradise with sophisticated malls and bustling souqs competing for attention from locals and tourists alike. In spite of the cosmopolitan nature of Dubai it is an area with its culture deeply rooted in the Islamic traditions of Arabia, which is what makes it such a fascinating destination.


Where to stay? There are plenty of hotels in dubai, and they are very highly ranking hotel in the world. Here i listed out three of them. Which i really admire to stay. I wish i could attached some of the picture of the hotels, but since my connection is very slow at this moment, i will do it later. If you want more detailed about dubai, please go here.

Tremendous Langkawi, Malaysia

When was the last time you out for a vacation? nope. Am i right? Yeah me too. I trapped in my suck busy routine. Got head cramp. Arghhhh disgusting. But i look forward to spent a great moment outside there. I found a great great vacation place i have ever heard. It is LANGKAWI Malaysia. The Berjaya langkawi Beach And Spa Resort is one of the best resort in Langkawi. Cummon lets take a look of it.

The Berjaya Langkawi Beach & Spa Resort can boast having the only water chalets on the island, with the unveiling of its new premier chalets on water. And with 502 rooms, it’s also the largest resort in Langkawi.

Built on stilts, the 23 chalets have all the trappings of a five-star property. From piped-in music to mini-bars, to umbrellas and shoe shining devices – everything you could possibly want is just a step or two away.
All units come with a private balcony where you can enjoy peace of mind as you gaze out to sea. Why, you can even fish from your balcony!

Except for the occasional boat or aqua bike whizzing by, nothing obstructs your view and the tranquil world is yours to savour.

Nevertheless, time spent on the comfy king-sized bed, surfing channels and catching up on reading was still pleasant. One noticeable feature in these chalets is the enormous bathroom – enough to put in another king-sized bed! It has a separate standing shower and a bathtub. Bathing never felt more luxurious.
Guests staying at the chalets are also treated to a special breakfast at the beachfront Pantai Restaurant.

In the works is a Thai Restaurant and fishing spot (kelong) at the entrance where guests can fish for their dinner.
However, the premier chalets on water are located 2km away from the main lobby, so it provides a good workout every time you want to head back to the room.

If you’re feeling sluggish, just call for the shuttle and a friendly driver will be more than happy to pick you up or drop you off.
Only three months old, these water chalets have 48% daily occupancy.
There is a host of things to do without having to leave the resort.
For indulgence, head to the Ayura Spa, which offers massages and beauty treatments. The area is divided into different complexes for men and women, but if you’d rather have a massage with your partner, there are separate rooms available too.
But before that, do take a dip in the huge pool, get yourself a tan, have a game of tennis or try out some of the watersports e.g. wind-surfing or jet-skiing.
The resort also caters to little ones as it has a swimming pool for kids and donkey cart rides.
While you’re there, join the nature walks by naturalist Mahendra Dev who’s on a mission to put the resort’s environmental management “into place”.




The flora and fauna along the one-hour route, and if you’re lucky, you may spot a wild animal or two.

With more than 500 employees to run the resort efficiently (ratio 1:1 per room), guests can be assured of quality service.
In fact, the staff were delighted when Shah Rukh Khan and his entourage stayed here for a whole month while filming Don earlier this year.
To date, it’s still the most talked-about event.
Blending nature with the sparkling sea, the resort is ideal for a weekend getaway.
