Bringing your furry friend with you on your travelsโโ๏ธ Learn more here
It’s surrounding with the Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ ‘s largest manmade freshwater lake ๐ฆ๐ง (7๏ธโฃk acres) named Bukit Merah ๐๐ฆ๐ง & approximately 3๏ธโฃ-hour drive ๐ from Kuala Lumpur city & through Bukit Merah toll Exit 150 along the North-South Expressway ๐ฃ
Room
After buffet lunch ๐ฝ๐ด@ Lelac Cafe, she ๐ฉ๐ป went to check-in ๐ with her media friend ๐ญto a standard hotel room ๐๐ฟ๐ฝ
A simple, clean yet comfy stay with toiletries available. There is no โ iron / hair dryer available in the hotel room ๐
However, no wifi โ๐ถ network detection in the hotel room, though the wifi password was printed on the hotel room key ๐ ‘s envelope ๐
Frankly, the hotel rooms are considered quite well maintained ๐๐ป since it’s an old resort since its establishment in 1995. More of its hotel room types & room information via ๐ http://www.bukitmerahresort.com.my/laketown-hotel

Canoeing ๐ถ (including water ๐ฆ๐ง confidence practices ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ) toย Pak Tuan Island ๐ด ๐
It was an approximately return trip of 2๏ธโฃkm canoeing ๐ถ to Pak Tuan Island ๐ด๐& some of her male media friends ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ were participated & enjoyed the canoeing ๐ถ
Very good ๐๐ป life safety practice, whether you can swim ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ or can’t โ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ, water confidence โ ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ before the canoeing ๐ถ is a must
Water confidence ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ฆ๐งdefinitely helps to get used to the life jacket ๐ฝ while you’re in the water ๐ฆ๐ง
SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป has joined her other female media friends ๐ญ๐ญ on a boat ๐ค to the island ๐ด๐
Yeah!โผ๏ธ Let’s enjoy picking & eating the rambutan ๐๐คค at this island ๐ด๐
This island ๐ด๐ is a fruit orchard, many rambutan trees ๐ณ๐ณ , jackfruit trees as well as “ulam” plants ๐ฑ๐ฟ named Ulam Cabang Tiga. Ulam means salad ๐ฅ in Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ ‘s national language. She ๐ฉ๐ป is a vegetables ๐ฅฆ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฝ๐ & fruits ๐๐๐๐๐ lovers (Most of her friends ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ called her “cow ๐๐” ~ eating green ๐grass ๐ฑ๐ฟ, Ha….Ha…๐๐)
Hmm…Because she ๐ฉ๐ป was busy eating the rambutan ๐๐คค & picking ulam cabang tiga ๐ฟ๐ฑ for DIY Grill dinner ๐๐๐ข๐ก that night ๐๐, she ๐ฉ๐ป just realised that she has forgotten ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ to snap a photo ๐ธ of the ulam ๐ฟ๐ฑ that she ๐ฉ๐ป has picked…Oppsss…No photo โ๐ธ to share oohhh….
Orang Utan Island ๐ด๐
This island ๐ด๐ 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 ๐๐ initiative i.e. As an exhibit for rehabilitation endangered species with provision for further expansion for future phases ๐๐
The Orang Utan i.e. meaning “man ๐ซ (orang) of the forestย ๐ณ๐ณ (hutan)” in Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ ‘s national language ~ Bahasa Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พย It exhibits a truly human-like mannerism in many facets of its behavior ๐
Do enjoy a vblog ๐น๐ฅwith more information being captured from SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป ‘s 1๏ธโฃst visit to this island ๐ด๐ recently ya
Definitely a great ๐๐ป educational opportunity for both kids & adults ๐ถ๐ป๐ง๐ป๐ง๐ป๐ฆ๐ป๐ง๐ป๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ
