MALAYSIA- AN EPIC ADVENTURE

 Hey ice kings and queens, 

From the vast expanse of greenery to the sights that rock your world it's the cleanest country with people who have hearts of gold. Flying more than 10 hrs to get there including a stopover in the city that holds amazing memories for me. Istanbul. From the stunning mosques to the malls that can make  a shopaholic go crazy at the cheap prices to the night markets that can make you lose your mind. The food is mouthwatering, but it's the coconut water and fruit juices that bring a smile to your face. The heat makes you forget about your billion and one issues you have to face on a daily basis. The safest country I've seen. It'd give the Mafia a run for it's money with the tight security outside apartment complexes. The malls that my family members liked were called MyTown, TRX, and KLCC. The best way to get around is by using an app called Grab. It's like another version of uber.

Staying in an air B and B was really fun. It was like a house. Also the pool was amazing. So going out of Malaysia can be fun also through internal flights, but the jet lag is real. 

The full body massages relax you into a deep sleep. There was this one in Crabbe that I really enjoyed where they massage your feet and scrub your feet. It was really ticklish. Island hopping was out of this world. I went to 7 islands, but it's not for the visually impaired so staying on a boat can be fun. The water is clear and you can see all the fish. I saw monkeys on the last island. They were little baby ones so adorable! There's lush greenery on the island and they give you watermelon and pineapple to try. There's a lot of walking involved. My lil bro did snorkelling. Going to the hot springs was the most mind-blowing experience. Seeing baby leopard's behind a cage was one of the cutest moments of my life. I went in the emerald pool and dipped my feet inside and splashing around with my feet was an exciting opportunity. The hot springs that heat up to forty degrees were so relaxing. The trek through the jungle was tiring but I saw lizards, spiders, butterflies and waterfalls and other springs. I was beyond wowed. The people were friendly and the food was mouthwatering. I had this chicken in breadcrumbs on a stick and my tastebuds were in heaven. The coconut water was to die for, it was in ice and sweet as honey. On the island tour we had fish and it was really awesome buffet food. 

Singapore airport was like the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. It was huge and clean. The plant life and waterfalls were beautiful. I went to this place called Gardens by the Bay and the Fantasy Flower Garden was magical. It's beauty was insane. From orchids to sunflowers there was every flower unimaginable to the eye. There were shaped in unique ways like a butterfly or a bird. My jaw dropped in awe at the rushing waterfalls and the pond. There were poison dart frogs in one part. I took some epic photography. There was this square by the marina that had incomprehensible views that just made me wonder what is this life? I only stayed for 1 day. I wish I had more days to spend there. In Crabbe I did 3 days. 

Langkawi was mesmerising. There was this infinity pool that I was obsessed with. There was a lot of rain there in 2 of the 4 days that I spent there. I was rocking a plastic raincoat. I enjoyed wave jumping in the ocean at Chenang beach. After 5 seconds it started raining. The cable cars were the highlight of the place. Heights are my thing. I'm not scared. The sky bridge was so cool. The views were inspirational. I had some of the best ice cream there too. There was this glass thing that you can sit on to take pictures I stood on it where as my female parent was shivering and paralysed with fear.  On the last day we went to the mangroves and it was beautiful. I saw so many artistic trees one was in the shape of a gorilla. It's crazy. There were a lot of monkeys and snakes. My bro was brave and went in the bat caves with my female parent. I was told that the caves were pitch black on the inside. Then I saw a fish feeding farm where you get to feed the fish. It was a great way to kill time before going to the airport. Also I sat in a massaging chair in Chenang mall. I was ecstatic. It was a fantastic way to reduce all my aches and pains from walking. 

Penang is a peaceful island. I went to some bizarre places like an upside down museum. It was really funny to see all the pictures where you are actually upside down. It's like Snapchat filters in real life. I went to a floating mosque. It was beautiful. Didn't get to do much photography of it though. I went to a butterfly farm called Utopia. It was an exhilarating adventure. I saw iguanas, turtles, ducks, frogs and snakes, caterpillars, beetles. and other insects that didn't' phase me, but made my skin crawl. I saw waterfalls and so many striking butterflies and moths. I went to the botanical gardens, the beauty just makes your heart skip a beat. There's lots of monkeys that come after your food. Then I went to a fruit farm and learnt so many facts about fruit. I tried exotic fruit in a tub and had a lime drink. The sourness isn't for the faint hearted though. It was delicious. The beach was one of my favourite places. I had ice cream from the shop and it was the best way to freeze my brain. I had watermelon juice for the 2nd time. The first time was in a place in KL called NZ. The food places that I fell in love with were called Halah Chef where I had the greatest fish and chips of my life with the freshest orange juice that made my tastebuds come alive and start singing. Another place I really enjoyed was Pinwheel. The Korean Fried Chicken Wings were divine, and the curly fries and cheesy bread was exquisite. The lemonade and strawberry mojito hit the spot in a different way. 

The  best part of the trip was spending quality time with family to strengthen the bond between us. I had so much fun swimming in the pools. I also tasted a lot of baked goods such as cakes and desserts from a special person. I also had loads of ups and downs, but we'll leave them out of this positive review. I'd go back again. The best ice cream I tasted was from a place called MIXUE. I also had waxing and a facial done there, the pampering was on another level. I was so relaxed. I even looked good with glowing skin afterwards. I got a haircut as well. My head feels light and the wash and blow dry almost sent me to sleep. I tasted different types of honey in Penang and I loved them all. They even put different samples of oils on my hands they smelt divine. My last day in KL was spent trying different fruits such as Mangosteen's and Rambutans and Durian. The Durian was disgusting I almost puked. I had eclairs and croissants freshly made from scratch. The best fruits I tasted were mangoes in Crabbe, Papaya in Crabbe. Dragon fruit is my vibe. I loved every second of the holiday.

The pink mosque in Putrajaya was beautiful some of the views from the windows blew my mind. The other one that I went to as well was captivating. Masjid Nigara was the highlight of one of the days too. I also ate some awesome ice cream in Singapore airport. I had this chicken and Chips from the basement and it was beautiful. I had a lot of jokes and laughs with my family who live there. Next time I only wanna do one destination and then go back to KL and chill with my family. Now the next destination is Dubai and Riyadh. I'm a jetsetter now. 

Enjoy.
