Embarking on a family staycation at Royale Chulan Hotel in Seremban turned out to be a delightful escape, with lots of moments of joy and relaxation into our busy lives. Allow me to share the enchanting experience that left my heart brimming with warmth and contentment.

The mere thought of a break from the hustle and bustle of city life was enticing, and our stay at Royale Chulan Hotel proved to be the perfect remedy. Nestled away, the serenity of Seremban provided an ideal backdrop for quality family time.

Checking into the hotel, we were greeted with a warm and cosy room that immediately felt like home. The very night day, I truly enjoyed my à la carte dinner date with my loved ones at the hotel cafe. It was truly an array of gastronomic wonders, with each dish meticulously prepared and bursting with flavors that lingered on the palate.

The pool provided a perfect playground for the kids. They loved the bubble bobbling in the jacuzzi pool, they had many splashing fun moments. And these moments are priceless and not every hotel has such facilities available. We were glad that we made the choice to come here to this hotel for our weekend getaway. After having so much fun, it was natural to be super hungry after that. But we were glad because the lunch & even their dinner buffet spread was truly a feast! There was alot of variety to pick from and my compliments to the chef here. Everything was made to perfection. It was just properly well cooked, well seasoned and taste wonderful! Even my husband who is not a foodie by nature, complimented the food variety at the Asiatique cafe here inside Royale Chulan Seremban hotel.

While the food was truly worthy-mention, the rooms itself offered a serene haven for relaxation. My kids were well prepared for their trip. They brought their favourite gadgets, toys and unwind in the room. I should've brought a board game along, it would be so much fun together!

As the morning sun painted the sky, my husband discovered a nearby running route at the park. His breathtaking run amidst perfect weather set a positive tone for the day. The beautiful view and clear blue sky nearby the hotel vicinity is truly breathtaking in the early morning.

On our last day, breakfast became a cherished family bonding moment, weaving laughter and shared stories. Lots of photo taking moments and lots of food to fill into our tummy.

After bidding farewell to Royale Chulan, we took the opportunity to explore the nearby gems before heading home. From charming stops to affordable shopping places, Seremban unfolded as a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Seremban Gateway was actually around the corner turning in heading to Royale Chulan hotel. It was like a lifestyle mall with restaurants, cafe and shops that you can spend a day there. There was also Terminal 1 Shopping Centre, this one very legendary, I used to come here last time in my employment days to visit the mobile phone dealers there and inside there are lots of shops to splurge on. The one that caught my attention nearby is the Setia shop next to Mr D.I.Y. Where everything is at RM2.40. Talk about shopping spree weeeee~!!

But my kids since the day we arrived, they've been asking to drop a visit at A&W they saw the logo outside as we were heading to Royale Chulan hotel. So we decided on our way back, we will have our lunch at A&W that is just 5 minutes below the hotel. 

Against a backdrop of clear skies and overlooking a serene lake, we had a family feast that added the perfect finishing touch to our getaway. For those seeking a blend of tranquility and luxury, I truly encourage you to explore the current Chinese New Year promotion for a staycation at Royale Chulan Seremban. Discover the magic that awaits, and create your own tapestry of beautiful family memories.

As we journeyed home, the unanimous sentiment echoed among us; We will undoubtedly return to Royale Chulan Seremban for another chapter of family joy and unforgettable moments. Here's to the magic of family staycations and the cherished memories they create.

Usher the Chinese New Year of the dragon year, with a hearty prosperous meal at Han Yi Puen Chinese Restaurant, in Mezzanine Level of Royale Chulan, Seremban. We were grateful that we could experience the joys and abundance of the Chinese New Year spread, that was a feast to be remembered and worth to be enjoyed during this coming Chinese New Year from 9th January to 24th February.

Award-winning non-profit organisation, Malaysian Humanitarian Foundation (“MHF”) is working closely with Malaysia’s leading educational non-profit organisation, Teach for Malaysia (“TFM”) in identifying students from B40 households to offer scholarships to attend SuperCamp. 

For the December edition which ran from 18 to 22 December 2023 at Paradise Valley Broga Resort, Semenyih, Selangor, seven (7) students from several schools within Klang Valley were shortlisted by TFM to attend SuperCamp. 

“We work on a system to extend opportunities like this to students from the underserved communities. Not having the resources to attend programmes like this should not hinder you from unlocking your full potential and achieving greatness in the future. We hope that from 2024 onwards, we can extend the scholarships to at least 50 students annually,” Henry Teh Kok Kheng, Executive Director of MHF (郑国庆) says. 

Empowering the future leaders of Malaysia

Vassenthen A/L Devendren, 16, was filled with excitement to be selected for SuperCamp. The SMK (L) Methodist Sentul student candidly shares that his self-esteem took a hit during the transition from a Tamil school to a national school after his UPSR, which left him dissatisfied with the result. He also feels less confident due to his larger physical build.

Photo Caption: Vassenthen wants to make his mother, Mogana Sunthari proud by doing well at school.

“I was disappointed to receive my UPSR result and decided to make a change. I started following a strict regime where I only allowed minimal time to rest and spend time with my family. Being the eldest in my family also means that I have the big brother role to play,” he says. He also continues to study Tamil subjects to honour his Indian heritage as he aspires to excel in his mother tongue, while improving his proficiency in English and Bahasa Melayu. 

His mother, Mogana Sunthari A/P Govindan, 41 is also surprised to see how much time Vassenthen spends in his room studying. “Everyday, after school he retreats to his room to study. Sometimes, he only texts or calls me on the phone when he wants to eat. I can see that he is driven to be successful in the future, so I’ll continue to support him,” she says. “Interestingly, though, he doesn't aspire to become a doctor! He mentioned that the COVID-19 experience has truly scared him!”

Another scholar from SMK Seksyen 27, Shah Alam, Maizatulakma Lisa Aqilah Abdullah, is a big fan of Korean culture, particularly the food and fashion. Despite her passion for entertainment, she strongly believes that her peers should set their priorities right from such a young age.

“I know a lot of students my age want to be content creators and influencers, but I honestly hope to be a teacher one day. So, I’ll work hard towards this goal, acknowledging that I can be a bit lazy at times. However, after attending SuperCamp, I really found motivation to do better,” says the 15-year old student. 

“Yes, she can be lazy sometimes,” laughs Maizatulakma’s mother, Zaidatulnisa binti Salleh, 39. “But she’s really a good girl. She’s the eldest in the family and takes care of her younger siblings. She makes sure that all her homework is completed before coming home. She is also actively working for an NGO on the side, something that she picks up from me. I too am actively working for several NGOs that empower children from the B40 group with education around our neighborhood.”. 

Zaidatulnisa also hopes that the Malaysian education system will bring back examinations for the students. “I see examinations as a way to motivate students to apply what they have learnt at school. Examinations provide a quantifiable and measurable method for parents to assess their children's progress at school. It's not about making comparisons of whose child is better or smarter.”

Zuraida Zulkifli, 48, is a proud mother to Daliya Safeera Ramli, 15, a student at SMK Shah Alam, Bukit Jelutong. “She is very quiet at home and likes to keep to herself. She only approaches us when she needs help. She is different from her older sister who was a prefect and active at school. Her sister also attended a boarding school,” says the full-time housewife. 

“I don’t really want to attend boarding school like my sister,” Daliya laughs. “I’m actually an introvert and I’m afraid to make mistakes, especially when speaking in front of the crowd. Even when studying, I rely on the Internet and Youtube videos when I hit a wall. It’s not always a bad thing as it allows students like me to learn at our own pace. Now that I have attended Supercamp, I feel more confident, especially in overcoming my fear of public speaking, and I am excited to share my opinions on various issues”.

_{Photo Caption: (L-R) Zuraida Zulkifli with her daughter, Daliya Safeera Ramli and Tuan Saripah Nor Riha Tuan Jaafar from SMK Shah Alam, Bukit Jelutong.}

Senior Assistant Administrator from Daliya’s school, Tuan Saripah Nor Riha Tuan Jaafar is extremely proud that one of her students was selected to receive a full scholarship to attend SuperCamp. “When TFM reached out to us to share the information about SuperCamp, we submitted 8 applications and were so delighted to know that despite the limited vacancies, Daliya made it through,” she says. “Daliya is a very dedicated student who attended all meetings set by TFM prior to her selection. I hope that she will return to our school and share everything she has learned here with her friends. We look forward to seeing more of our students attending SuperCamp in the future”.

SuperCamp is a global education brand that believes that children who are equipped with ‘the 8 Keys of Excellence’, a  foundation based on the Burklyn Business School; can transform themselves to become self-motivated learners. The 8 Keys of Excellence entail:

Meanwhile, TFM is an independent, not-for-profit organisation on a mission to give all children the opportunity to realise their potential through quality education. This education champion has been partnering with the Ministry of Education in Malaysia to reach high-need public schools. At the same time, TFM is one of the 61 partners of the prestigious global education network, Teach for All. TFM received recognition in 2022 for the Education & Community Category at the Merdeka Award established by PETRONAS, ExxonMobil and Shell in 2007.

 The bodysuit is a versatile piece, so it can be worn all year round. In winter, it can be an important helper to protect you from low temperatures. You can create elegant and stylish looks.

Start by choosing a warm and comfortable Popilush shapewear bodysuit. There are several models that can be used in conjunction with wool, velvet and even leather items. There are several combinations that can help you enrich your appearance in winter without much effort.

Combine the bodysuit with velvety or thermal pants to give you a nice, warm look. If you're working in closed spaces like an office, a tweed blazer is chic and delicate.

For a trip to the mall, a wool skirt becomes an option that gives you good warmth and femininity. You can also wear a sweater or overcoat over the bodysuit, creating fluid layers is the best way to warm up without weighing down the look.

A fabric with elasticity adapts to many body styles. A piece with a snap closure in the crotch makes it easier when you need to use the bathroom. You can shape your belly and align your posture through the modeling mesh that this model has.

No, you don't need to. A deep V neck bodysuit, for example, already provides support and the perfect design to embellish the bust area with support. These pieces are already designed to be used as underwear, but also as main clothing in a comfortable way that provides maximum safety for the female figure.

 The shoulder buckles provide greater adjustment and you can even remove the straps if necessary. It is these details that make your bodysuit its best version. Compressed shaping lining keeps your tummy free from dimpling or bumps.

Yes! Even more so if you want a more fitted look with a touch of boldness. A bodysuit with long sleeves and transparency can be used to go to night parties. In a light color, combined with a chain and gold earrings, it gives a sensual and elegant look. When choosing leggings for the winter, choose those with a double layer to help retain heat. They can also be lined with fleece, so you stay warm. Pair with boots for the perfect dramatic urban look.

A bodysuit with double-layer fabric in the belly area, create a perfect hourglass shape. The butt becomes more elegant with the T-shaped buttocks design. The soft degree elasticity is a symbol of comfort for you to further expand your achievements, feeling confident and powerful with your appearance. Add warm accessories, a scarf, hat and gloves are essential this winter.

 Yes! You heard that right! Today I am sharing my true and real experience on my travelogue Malaysia journey to Perlis. I drove up there and it took about 5 hours actually, I wouldn't say it was long but so long as you are well prepared for stops along the way then you are ready.

So the journey up was already very entertaining because good company is a must to keep you awake for 5 hours. Or music will also work for me. Another is enjoying the process, along the way you get to view beautiful mountains, skyview, some slow cars and some very crazy fast cars and do be careful when it rains. But nearer to Perlis you will start to feel the peacefulness in your heart. 

You will see cool blue clear skies, sunny sunshine with huge paddy fields! I went in February and the paddy fields were green and almost turning in for the season. Also you will see rows and rows of Harum Manis mango trees on some fields and cows. The 5 hours journey we have many stops in between as we weren't rushing to enter Perlis. It was a very smooth journey all the way.

We immediately went straight to Savana Hotel at Perlis. It was a very nice place to be in. I love the cleanliness and the hotel rooms were fully equipped and almost brand new. I also like how they accommodate big family and also bigger crowds too. 

A good place if you want to consider having a gathering trip here or teambuilding even. They have hotels within the same building and also serviced apartments along the entire building lot stretch. We stayed at the serviced apartment with separate rooms with toilets attached to the rooms.

Right after checking in, we didn't delay further. We went to Sadiah Cafe for dinner and we were quite early. So we decided to visit the Kebun Mangga Harumanis Wan Pa right opposite Sadiah Cafe that you can just walk over in 10 minutes. We saw some guests and staff that actually was enjoying their evening walks/jog along the paddy field there. 

I love how the entire area is just so beautifully and naturally designed for a very memorable homestay experience. And this is definitely the next place I will want to visit with my kids during the mango season (April-June).

Our dinner at Sadiah Cafe is truly appetizing and very fulfilling. I got to enjoy the local delicacy here the "Urap Jagung" that is really a new dish I have never heard of or rarely hear of. And it was lovely! Their seafood spread was also a very interesting combination, I love how fresh the seafood is and how generous their portions are. Also the best part is, it is not as spicy as I feared it will be! I love how the flavours blend together and everything here is in-house homemade, it's a family business that is surely worth mentioning. 

You can also enjoy your meals in the middle of the paddy fields or over at the top with a nice overview of the surroundings. If you have kids like me, then they will surely enjoy the play area downstairs dedicated just for the little ones.

The 2nd day, we drove out to Ngopi at Perlis to enjoy breakfast over there. I must say that it was one of my favourite palce there that until this very day I can still imagine sinking my tooth into its crispy crusty buttery flaky warm croissant sandwich and pastry goods!

Their belgium chocolate was very rich in flavour and I came to know that all the ingredients including the sauces for the sandwiches are all made there! Own recipe, own homemade delicacies. Definitely you will not want to miss this! I was asking the owner if he will franchise out soon and it seems like yes, the chances are very high that they may be coming over to Klang valley soon, but before that happens and before it gets super viral, come and visit the origin outlet to experience the real deal yourself!

We visited Unic Astana Holidays office that is just further opposite Ngopi, across an open carpark area. So we sat there and were explained of where will be head to the next destination and the following 3rd day as well before we depart home. I love how Perlis people are really friendly and they treat you like family. It was a very welcoming and loving experience that I will surely want my family to experience it too. I always believe how people react to you is how you react to them first too. So be nice because the people there are really really genuinely nice and caring!

I also got to see Unic Astana Holidays Headquarters that actually is one of the oldest travel agent in Perlis. They actually have many packages not just in Perlis but around Malaysia and other places you wanna travel to as well. And their packages are really affordable! For us, this round we had a special request to visit places in Perlis that was not crowded with tourists but worthy of mention. And they really brought us to places that is truly worthy of mention. 

They also have a huge coach bus as well for bigger crowd and even have their own rescue service team which you don't always see with  travel agent companies. And I feel this is something worthy of mentioning. The company really take pride and take accountability in their people and their clients and customers. Very responsible and responsive at the same time. They give super awesome advises too when we were planning for our upcoming trip down with our family. Because they only want to offer the best and not 2nd best.

Lunch on the 2nd day was over at Suri Masakan Melayu Traditional. You may have heard of this place before, but it was my first time and I can understand why this place is crowded with people. Thankfully when we arrived we had a spot booked for us.

The variety of the cuisine available here is basically everyone's wildest dream come true! There's no way you can try everything here in one visit. They have so many choices from the main food to the side dishes, to the vegetables, to the grilled options, to the beverages and even until the sauces and soups. Too many to choose from but only one tummy to fill.

My phone went on a buffet spree shooting before I had my fill of my favourite rice served with masak lemak sauce and the usual, fish, meat and veggie.

After lunch we headed over to Timah Tasoh, Santuari Air Ikan Tawar for a boating activity. There was a cute little lamb that greeted us as we arrived.

The boat experience was an eye-opening experience. We got to enjoy the sights and sea breeze. The view is spectacular! Even if you don't own an iPhone but the image and video that you will capture will surely be captivating because the entire view itself is just so majestic! We got to see Gunung Chabang Mari at the sea and also we saw some areas that was blocked off with some historical stories being shared during our boat ride that some places actually used to be a village that is now filled with water. It's basically like we are right over Atlantic City, there was literally a village right below the water as we glide through. 

There were some areas where we also saw the tip of the roof on the surface of the water, and these houses are of the olden days houses that is already submerged in water. Talk about solid structure that is still standing strong underwater.

It was a great activity to also enjoy yourself without the stress of the hustle and bustling of the city and your work/business matters. And a place to just unwind and relax. Allows time for your food to digest too.

Right after our boating activity, we headed over to Gunung Chabang Mari directly.

Upon entering only then I found out this place is famous because of the little lamb there. One of them was apparently super naughty. But nevertheless this place was also famous because the entire view is like being in Switzerland itself with the mountain view and the landscape beautifully laid out with the lambs at the side eating the grass.

I took many selfies with my selfie stick and videos. I tried to wefie with the lamb but at the start, they didn't want what I gave to them so I just ignored them and they just came over to check me out when I was taking photo under the tree right smacked in the center.

Also I noticed the chicken here is so cute! I've never seen a chicken with such cute butt.

After enjoying nice views and unwind and relax. We then headed to another tourist spot that wasn't so crowded that day, was the Kampung Warna Warni. In english it translates as Colorful Village. And I kid-you-not this village is superbly colorful. I love how it was a combination of several villages in the entire area that actually colored and painting their homes in colorful shades of design and artistic patterns and colors.

What i see here is not just the creativity but the unity of how these villagers put effort to make something different than the norm and come together despite some are of different areas, but with  a purpose to just be different. And it became a tourist attraction in Perlis. Because when visitors pay to enter with the buggy car. They also get to stop by at some of the villagers home that  offers some snacks and tidbits as their livelihood.

I stopped when I saw this home that sells Dodol and was given some to try first and I bought the entire last 5 packet home. It was way better than any dodol I've tried before. And this is handmade not machine made! It is a must-have!

Along the villages we also got to see the seaside nearby with a huge crab statue there. It was a nice pitstop to chillax and snap photos and enjoy the sunset before we head back for dinner.

Dinner time arrived and we also arrived at Rohani Ikan Bakar outlet. This is one of the most noticeable shops along the entire Perlis because they have 2 huge outlets and they serve amazing ikan bakar aka grilled fish. 

Just look at the fresh seafood spread for you to choose from. We tried quite alot of variety and even some that was super unique like the stingray fish.

We each had our favourites but I love all of it. This beats any fresh grilled seafood I've had at the food courts in Klang Valley.

The 3rd day before we headed back to KL, we went to Warong Bonda for breakfast and we chose the right place. This place actually has a lovely view of the paddy field that you can take an instagramable photo there. 

We also took many instagramable photo shots of the food we ordered.

The food is very unique and local. It's not a common flavour that you can get in KL. You gotta be here to experience it yourself.

Before heading back we needed to head over nearby to Gunung Medan. I know many will be wondering why not Wang Kelian? Well, to be honest we didn't want it to be crowded when seeing spectacular views. So basically when we went to Gunung Medan it was just us. No crowd. I only know that in the morning when the sun is not so hot, only the local neighborhood nearby will come here for jogging. 

But I must say that this view is truly exhilarating! It's breathtaking and puts you in awe! Can even do TikTok here because the background is just priceless! It's like the bests place for instagramable scenic views and also TikTok-worthy. 

We stopped at Nira Nipah Klasik for lunch and it was our first time seeing the pokok Nipah and tasting the pure sweet juice from the fruits of this tree. It was truly lovely! An inspiring place to be at and a place you can just take your mind off things and just allow creativity to flow.

Definitely after a very relaxing and I will daresay it is a healing trip, you will surely miss this place the most and want to bring more people to come and see Perlis for the beauty that is hiding within.

 OMAIGOT! Yes! I am so excited and delighted to know my favourite Circus is back in Malaysia! A show not to be missed because the last round they were here it was before the pandemic. And it must've been tough to pull through and I was really wishing the best for all of them because they were really good! And when I received the newsletter I was thrilled and I believe they deserve this comeback!

Get your tickets here

From 28th June 2023 to 23rd July 2023 at Mutiara Damansara (Mutiara Park near The Curve, behind IKEA & opposite KidZania). The circus is one of the oldest cultural assets around the globe. In Switzerland there are over 14 circus companies and a variety shows that traditionally travel through the country.

Marco & Ismail - My favourite duo behind the Swiss Dream Circus!

Do you know that for years, the Malaysian Royal London Circus was the only circus in the country. Unfortunately, the company closed 2007 and there were no more circus appearances in Malaysia for years after. Thus creating the perfect opportunity for Ismail and Marco. As a result of this ambitious venture, various circus companies sprout up like mushrooms. There are currently three other companies travelling throughout Malaysia. At Swiss Dream Circus, we believe that quality is the only success worth measuring. Swiss Dream Circus stands for real circus where you can dream with open eyes. "SWISS" stands for quality, "DREAM" for diving into another world and "CIRCUS" for a truly family-centered entertainment which awakens old childhood memories all at once. It is our ambition to create a bridge between tradition and modernity with our circus, especially in this era of digital and technological transformation.

With support of Prince Albert to the Swiss Dream Circus

It is not always easy to lead a circus; an infinite number of hurdles must be overcome time and time again; without forgetting the enormous cheques we have to sign! To finance a 2 million project, we rely on partners, sponsors and friends who support us. People who also like to take part of journey full of unforgettable moments.

Before the red curtain opens, tremendous organization goes on in the background. From marketing plans, booking of artists, obtaining permits, organizing visas, transport and accommodations, booking of flights … all of which make up an almost endless list of things to do.

Just ten days before the first performance, six containers unload tons of material. First, the venue has to be measured and marked, after which more than 80 anchors are rammed into the ground, to support the Big Top. The four 13-meter-high main poles are hydraulically installed. The 11-meter long dome hangs from it and four pieces of the tent fabric are tied and pulled upwards. Then the grand stand is assembled to fit a maximum capacity of 900 people. The wooden floor is laid and the carpet is rolled out. The artist's entrance with the red velvet curtain is set up and countless spotlights and the sound system are attached to the main poles. Two huge air conditioning chillers are connected by pipes to the tent. Power generators are mounted and erected in the awning; food stands are set up and decorated. After six days of hard work, the circus is set up. Now the artists have 4 days to get used to the new environment and together with lighting designers, sound engineers and choreographers, a new show is put together from single performances.

From dawn to dusk, rehearsing until the show comes together into a harmonious unity. Now the show can begin!
