YeahβΌοΈ SiennyLovesDrawing π©π» is gonna sharing π©π»βπ»π her recent staycation ππΏπ½ at the North of Malaysia i.e. Bukit Merah Laketown Resort (BMLR) π’ππΏπ½π¦π§
This resort π’ππΏπ½π¦π§ is not new, in fact it’s with quite a number of years since establishment. However, this recent visit & stay vacation was the 1οΈβ£st experience of her π©π»
Bringing your furry friend with you on your travelsββοΈ Learn more here
It’s surrounding with the Malaysia π²πΎ ‘s largest manmade freshwater lake π¦π§ (7οΈβ£k acres) named Bukit Merah ππ¦π§ & approximately 3οΈβ£-hour drive π from Kuala Lumpur city & through Bukit Merah toll Exit 150 along the North-South Expressway π£
Room
After buffet lunch π½π΄@ Lelac Cafe, she π©π» went to check-in π with her media friend πto a standard hotel room ππΏπ½
A simple, clean yet comfy stay with toiletries available. There is no β iron / hair dryer available in the hotel room π
However, no wifi βπΆ network detection in the hotel room, though the wifi password was printed on the hotel room key π ‘s envelope π
Frankly, the hotel rooms are considered quite well maintained ππ» since it’s an old resort since its establishment in 1995. More of its hotel room types & room information via π http://www.bukitmerahresort.com.my/laketown-hotel
Activities
Guess whatββοΈ
There are so much activities within & around this resort π’ππ½πΏπ¦π§Β Hmm…Actually no need to drive out ππ from this resort at all once checked-in π for a staycation π
Curious π€ about the activitiesββοΈ
Water π¦π§Park
YeahβΌοΈ All got a wrist ticket π respectively to enter the park & enjoy the great water π¦π§ splashing funβΌοΈπ²π
Ha…Ha…A welcome ππ» wet wet π¦π§ 1οΈβ£st before enjoying the more exciting water π¦π§ridessss & slidesss π’π‘β²οΈππ»ββοΈππ»ββοΈ
Hmm…Would like to also sharing her 1οΈβ£st ride with the Racer Slide, she π©π» has got a slow start, don’t laugh ππ like her media friends ππ¬π¬π¬ as captured in this video clip πΉπ₯ by lovely Sally ππ½ββοΈ (IG @sallysamsaiman)
It was really a great fun water π¦π§ splashing time @ this water park with its new π additional rides. The Boomerang (as shown in the vblog π₯πΉ below) has become an exhilarating ride & it’s the 1οΈβ£st & only 1οΈβ£ in Malaysia π²πΎ & in South East Asia (SEA) π WoowβΌοΈπ²π€©
Not just that the new π Giant Bubble Slide is the 1οΈβ£st in this region too. Bravo to BMLRβΌοΈππ»ππ»
Hmm…Out of the 3οΈβ£ new π rides/ slides π’π‘β²οΈπ¦π§, SiennyLovesDrawing π©π» have yet to try Boomerang, she scard…scard…π π₯as it’s slide from the high β¬οΈ part to low β¬οΈ area…Don’t laugh ππ at her ya

Eco Park
For family getaways/ school π« trips, the kids πΆπ»π§π»π§π»π¦π»π§π» will definitely enjoy this park & get to know more about the animals π°π»π¦π’πππ
Not just that, you will get to enjoy the skyline ride π’π , hmm…A bit challenging to cycle a ride with hands ππ»π€π» Yesβ , not β by legs π£ as you ride on a bicycle π² or paddle boat π€ ya
You get to view π some animals in this park with your skyline ride e.g. Ostrich π¦, rabbit π°etc.

Canoeing πΆ (including water π¦π§ confidence practices ππ»ββοΈππ»ββοΈ) toΒ Pak Tuan Island π΄ π
It was an approximately return trip of 2οΈβ£km canoeing πΆ to Pak Tuan Island π΄π& some of her male media friends π¬π¬π¬π¬ were participated & enjoyed the canoeing πΆ
Very good ππ» life safety practice, whether you can swim ππ»ββοΈππ»ββοΈ or can’t βππ»ββοΈππ»ββοΈ, water confidence β ππ»ββοΈππ»ββοΈ before the canoeing πΆ is a must
Water confidence ππ»ββοΈππ»ββοΈπ¦π§definitely helps to get used to the life jacket π½ while you’re in the water π¦π§
SiennyLovesDrawing π©π» has joined her other female media friends ππ on a boat π€ to the island π΄π
Yeah!βΌοΈ Let’s enjoy picking & eating the rambutan ππ€€ at this island π΄π
This island π΄π is a fruit orchard, many rambutan trees π³π³ , jackfruit trees as well as “ulam” plants π±πΏ named Ulam Cabang Tiga. Ulam means salad π₯ in Malaysia π²πΎ ‘s national language. She π©π» is a vegetables π₯¦π₯π₯π½π & fruits πππππ lovers (Most of her friends π«ππ¬ called her “cow ππ” ~ eating green πgrass π±πΏ, Ha….Ha…ππ)
Hmm…Because she π©π» was busy eating the rambutan ππ€€ & picking ulam cabang tiga πΏπ± for DIY Grill dinner πππ’π‘ that night ππ, she π©π» just realised that she has forgotten π€¦π»ββοΈ to snap a photo πΈ of the ulam πΏπ± that she π©π» has picked…Oppsss…No photo βπΈ to share oohhh….
Orang Utan Island π΄π
This island π΄π is formerly know as Pulau Panjang & it started since 22 Feb 2000 with 35 acre area. 15 acres of it has been set aside for this conservation ππ initiative i.e. As an exhibit for rehabilitation endangered species with provision for further expansion for future phases ππ
The Orang Utan i.e. meaning “man π« (orang) of the forestΒ π³π³ (hutan)” in Malaysia π²πΎ ‘s national language ~ Bahasa Malaysia π²πΎΒ It exhibits a truly human-like mannerism in many facets of its behavior π
Do enjoy a vblog πΉπ₯with more information being captured from SiennyLovesDrawing π©π» ‘s 1οΈβ£st visit to this island π΄π recently ya
Definitely a great ππ» educational opportunity for both kids & adults πΆπ»π§π»π§π»π¦π»π§π»π«ππ¬
To date, there are about 2οΈβ£0οΈβ£ Orang Utan on this island π΄πΒ & all are being trained for wild release to BJ Island, an island π΄πof 14 acres which within this resort with secondary rainforest π³π³ vegetation.Β So, do plan a visit & contribute πͺπ»πͺπ»Β however you can for the continuous research & conservation efforts for Malaysia π²πΎ ‘s Orang Utan ya ππ

I believe that they are very smart making the hotel rooms underwhelming. It makes you want to get out of the room and enjoy all of the activities instead of staying in your room on the wifi.
