Growing up in Malaysia

Where is Malaysia ?

2011-12-16T03:58:00.000-08:00

Do you know where is Malaysia ?
Do you know there is such a country called Malaysia ?

.... if you don't, then you are not the only one !!

Despite millions of dollars being channelled into
marketing and promoting Malaysia, there are still
many, many, many millions of folks worldwide
who still do not know that Malaysia exists .....
and its whereabout too .....

For example, I asked a Caucasian traveller on
transit at the Dubai Airport whether she knew
about Malaysia.

Her reply ?

"Of course .....its that country in Africa where
Madonna the singer adopted her kids ... "

Her ignorance was spot on !!

She had mistaken Malaysia for Malawi in Africa ....

On the journey to London, I asked Mrs Brown who was
seated beside me if she knew Malaysia.

She shooked her head instead.

So I told her that Malaysia is sandwiched between
Thailand and Singapore ..... it is located to the south
of Thailand and to the north of Singapore.

"of course I know Thailand " she exclaimed
"there have so much to offer the tourists .... Bangkok,
Patpong, Pattaya .... the elephant rides in Chiangmai ....
the beach hotels in Phuket and Krabi island ....."

" and Singapore too .... the malls at Orchard Road
are great for shopping .... Sentosa Island is nice too,
and the casinos at Marina Sands and Resort World
are world-class .....the Singapore hotels are fantastic "

How about Malaysia then, I asked her ?

.... she shooked her head again ....

Buy Christmas gifts in Malaysia

2011-11-02T03:22:00.000-07:00

Christmas is just around the corner
and its time to buy some really nice
gifts for the loved ones ....

But the problem with buying Xmas gifts
is that there are not many choices available
since Malaysia is a predominantly Muslim
country.

Unlike the West where Christmas Day is
celebrated with pomp and splendour, this
is considered as "just a one-day" affair.

So for most Malaysians who could well
afford it, they would somehow spend their
Christmas holidays in neighbouring Singapore
or in Hong Kong ..... because the festive spirit,
the joy of giving, and the celebrations are just
enjoyable indeed !

As for poorer folks like me, I would just indulge
in some gifts-shopping online ..... gifts that are
healthy, low-fat, low-salt, gluten-free, allergy-free
and a little kosher too .....

Here are some recommended gifts for this Xmas :

But if you are not into healthy foods like me,
then perhaps the following best-selling Xmas
gifts would appeal to you .... just click on them
and see their websites .....

Penang's Tour of Hell ....

2011-10-21T19:12:00.000-07:00

Malaysia is famous for many so-called
1st in the World achievements..... and
this includes happenings in the Malaysia
tour and travel industry too.

For example, a temple medium from Penang
has organized a very unique tour to hell ....
during the Festival of the Hungry Ghosts

It is the first ever trip to the netherworld
or ghoulish world ....whereby participants
would be able to see and experience all the
different scenarios in Hell.

Some may be able to meet up with their
loved ones, some will see the streets and
alleys of hell .... and some can even see
how torture is done in hell !!

The trip can only take in 100 participants.
But the tour organizer has cautioned that
a trip to hell is NOT about going sightseeing
as a tourist , or having a wonderful time .

He said that all participants must have faith
and must do some fasting prior to the start
of the Penang Hell Tour.

According to him, he has visited hell many
times before .... he has even met the King of
Hades, who is as tall as an office building,
wearing a tiger skin with a brown complexion
and with big eyes and fangs.

The king also swallowed people alive,
then let them out from his behind ....
as a punishment to them for being wicked !!

He cautioned that during the tour, everyone
must close their eyes and follow him as
the tour leader so as not to offend any
wandering spirits .....

So far so good .... but what happens if the
participants or foreign tourists to Penang
got so excited and got trapped there ?

How can there come out from hell ?

" When your time is up in this world and
when its time for you to go ... then you have
to go ....." said the spiritual master.

Since there is NO guarantee that after
visiting hell, you can come back to earth,
the best thing to do is to join a normal tour
to Penang .... stay in the best hotels in Penang
and visit all the tourist destinations in Penang.

Or better still, book a tour to Malaysia,
visit all the exciting tourist destinations that
Malaysia has to offer, stay in all the best hotels
and service apartments in Kuala Lumpur, Penang,
Johor Baru, Melaka, Kuching, Kota Kinabalu, etc
... enjoy the sun and the sea at the beach hotel
and beach resorts in Penang, Langkawi, Pulau Tioman,
Pulau Redang, Pulau Perhentian, Pulau Rawa and
the world-famous diving spots at Sipadan .....

At least you are guaranteed a very safe tour !!

How to say sorry ?

2011-08-26T19:25:00.000-07:00

Have you ever done something wrong in your life ?
Have you offended someone .... insulted someone
..... demeaned that person .... suppressed, oppressed
and depressed him or her ?

If you have, and would like to seek forgiveness and
say sorry the Malaysian way ..... to swallow your
pride and ego and apologize in a humble manner
like a true Malaysian ..... then go see this video .....

In Malaysia, everything also can
..... semua boleh .... Malaysia Boleh .....

But to say sorry .... to apologize and to forgive ?

Visit Malaysia .....

2011-08-17T08:50:00.000-07:00

Having grown up in Malaysia for the past 4 decades
means that I have also visited Malaysia for over 40 long
years .....

It also means that I have travelled, toured and visited
the length and breath of this exotic tropical country
umpteen times.

For those who are keen to visit Malaysia, the best
way to do so is to do an online search covering
words like :

Cheap Holidays to Malaysia

2011-08-11T22:27:00.000-07:00

My Facebook friend from the USA told me the story
of how she had always wanted to go for a summer vacation
in Asia.

And her only criteria was that the vacation had to be
cheap and affordable, whereby she could experience all
the different cultures at minimum costs,

After doing her research on the various Asia travel blogs
and Asian vacation forums, she shortlisted her travel
destinations to only Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and
Indonesia.

Considering other factors like the availability of cheap
airlines and low-cost flights, affordable hotels and accomodation,
interesting tourist resorts, exotic tourist attractions, etc
she then narrowed her choice to Malaysia.

She then finetuned her research, by doing a Google
search on these keywords :

Malaysia holiday 2011
Malaysia holidays 2011
Holidays in Malaysia 2011
Cheap holidays in Malaysia
Affordable holidays to Malaysia
Holiday package in Malaysia
Holidays to malaysia
Malaysia cheap holidays
Malaysia family holidays
malaysia package holiday

She also did a Yahoo-search on the following :

package holidays to Malaysia
leisure holidays Malaysia
cheap holiday to Malaysia
affordable vacation in malaysia
holiday resorts in malaysia
package holidays malaysia
best holiday destinations in Malaysia
holiday resorts Malaysia

Having done a general search on Malaysia.
she then looked for hotel accomodation instead,
by searching for :

Malaysia deals
Malaysia hotels
hotel Malaysia
hotels in malaysia
Malaysia hotel
5 star hotel in Malaysia
4 star hotel in Malaysia
3 star hotel in Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur hotels
Penang hotels
Melaka hotels
Langkawi hotels
Kuching hotels
Kota Kinabalu hotels

..... after spending days trying to find out more
about how to plan her vacation in Malaysia, she then
sent me an email detailing her plans.

And I replied back ...... my dear friend, everything is
on the house ..... you can stay with me, and I will be
your Malaysian tourist guide .... showing you the
warm Malaysian hospitability ..... and bringing you
to all the various tourist spots in erotic Malaysia .....

Malaysian Food .....

2011-08-09T04:58:00.000-07:00

Growing up in Malaysia means a daily mix
of cosmopolitan infusion and a potpourri of
mouth-watering food delicacies from the Asian
recipes.

For the Malays, its a breakfast of nasi lemak,
then a lunch of nasi kandar, with a tea-time break
in between ..... followed by nasi briyani and satay
for dinner.

For the Chinese, breakfast could be wan tan mee,
char kuay teow, chee cheong fun .... with bah kut teh
for lunch or perhaps Hainan chicken rice
.... and a 8-course dinner .....with rounds of
beer and whisky later.

And the Indians may start the day with roti canai
or thosai, then have a banana leaf curry rice for lunch,
followed by dinner at the popular mamak restaurants.

Of course, there are other popular dishes like mee rebus,
rojak, soto ayam, mee jawa, assam laksa, Ipoh sar ho fun,
papadam, otak-otak, nasi briyani gam johor, Penang laksa,
Sarawak laksa, Sabah lontong, Melaka cendol, Kemaman
roti bakar, Kluang kaya bun, Perlis belacan, Kelantan cincaluk,
Kuantan salted fish, and so on.....

Its an endless list
which one can savour upon visiting Malaysia ....
