HELLOOOOOO! :D Today is the fourth and the last day of our Malaysia trip together. Most of us are filled with mixed feelings. Both excited to be back to our homeland and meet our loved ones but as well as sad as we are leaving real soon. Thank god everyone is feeling much better now. Hope no one else will fall sick. Due to health safety, we didn’t carry out any activity today. The teachers decided to cancel the visit to the Colma Tropical and asked us to take a rest. We do make use of the time. Lastly, I have enjoyed and learnt several moral values during this trip.

Heyyyyyyyyyyyy people. I actually feel heavy hearted to leave not because I love this place. But I love the company. I will miss the people I hang out with for the last few day because it was the best time I ever ever had. I will remember this trip and I hope there will be another one like this. BUT you see there were some of the girl got sick, so I hope the next trip, everyone will stay healthy for the whole trip so we could enjoy every moment we got. I wil leavel sengkang sec next year and I can’t believe that I’m doing it. This trip is definetly help me to find my inner self and make me think more rationally. Lastly I think it’s the memories that everyone will have to keep. The good one of course. Being back to Singapore to our real life is getting nearer and now I have a fear. A fear of insecurity..

Day4

The plan to go to the Colma tropical was cancelled. I’m feeling a little disappointed but for the sake our health, I think it’s better to just stay at the hotel. After breakfast, we were forced to sleep & drink lots & lots of water. Can you imagine that? Being forced to sleep! Nonetheless, today we are going home & I’m feeling super excited! I miss my family. I’ve bought many things for them & I hope they like it very much. These will the last post for this KL trip. SO have fun reading all my reflections!

Day four. We are going home today! The plan to go to the colma tropical is cancelled sadly. However, we are asked to stay put in our hotel room. I must agree sleeping gets a little bored when you are being forced to sleep but whatever it is, health and safety comes first. This four days trip has been definitely an amazing trip.

DAY 4 REFLECTION:

We are now currently in the hotel as the trip to colma tropical was cancelled. I felt a little disappointed, but I believe health is the most important thing. We can still go to the tropical some other days!:D So, the trip was replaced with lunch at Sunway pyramid mall, and ate popeyes!:D Only one word to describe –SUPERB! Btw, going back to Singapore in a few hours time. Very excited to be home,:D

Day 4 reflection

According to the itenery, my fellow guides and I should be going to Colma Tropical. However, the trip was cancelled as some of us were down with high fever. So, the other guides and I were instructed to take a cold shower, drink a lot of water and sleep in the hotel till lunch. After about two to three hours of rest in the hotel room, my friends and I went to Popyes to have a scrumptious lunch. Now, we are preparing to leave for Singapore in a few hours, and I am really looking forward to reaching home…

Bank Negara Money Museum, called Muzium Matawang Bank Negara in Malay, celebrates the evolution of money at different times in the history of Malaysia. Located within the Central Bank on Jalan Dato' Onn in Kuala Lumpur, the Bank Negara Money Museum has loads of things to exhibit and please almost every numismatist. In fact, a casual onlooker would also find this display interesting enough to stop and look for a while. The museum's main purpose is to act as a depository for the earlier and modern currency of Malaysia.On 5 April 1989, the Money Museum was inaugurated by the Datin Seri Dr Siti Hasmah Mohamed Ali, in conjunction with the 30th Anniversary of Bank Negara Malaysia. The Museum boasts of an interesting display of old Malaysian currency, commemorative and rare coins, together with foreign currencies. Here the progression of currency is represented through various artefacts, medals, tokens, coins and banknotes, which were used earlier for trade exchange.Most of the coins and rare items on display have been obtained through auctions, donations and direct purchases from collectors. The Museum, itself, is a work of art. Its elegant interiors, which range from the elaborate carvings of the 100-year-old teak at door, panels, shelf designs to impressive lighting, make it all the more fascinating. Thus, besides being a great attraction, the Money Museum is a great place to gather knowledge about the history and evolution of Malaysia coins and currency notes.

The Orchid Garden showcases more thousands of international varieties of the most beautiful flower in the world. The garden contains over 800 species from Malaysia alone. Orchids are for sale on weekends (10am-6pm).
The Hibiscus GardenA small terraced garden which provides a strikingly colourful panorama of countless varieties of hibiscus.

The Deer ParkLocated in the undulating slopes and sprawling valley of the Lake Gardens. Close to the bubbling stream at the edge of the valley are several mousedeer. The mousedeer is the world's smallest hoofed animal and a popular figure in local folklore due to its legendary wit. Open: 9am-5pm (Daily) Admission fees: RM1

Location: Jalan Conlay, Kuala Lumpur

Highlights: Amazing variety of Malaysian handicrafts

How To Reach: One can easily reach Craft Complex by hiring taxis, or by boarding buses, trains from the city.

The Kompleks Budaya Kraf, literally Cultural Craft Complex, is the celebrated place to catch amazing handicrafts, native to Malaysia. Located along Jalan Conlay in Kuala Lumpur, it is controlled by the Malaysian Handicraft Development Corporation-a constitutional body under Ministry of Culture, Art and Heritage. It presents some exclusive Malaysian handicrafts, such as, silk kaftan, bathrobes, silverware, mengkuang products, pewterware, glassware, pottery, silk batik paintings, and songket (brocade material).

This wooden handicraft complex is spread over lush landscaped gardens. KL Craft Complex is actually a one-stop craft centre which presents a distinctive range of craft-related activities and programmes. It's a place where you can explore Malaysian culture of crafts and in fact, you can also have a bash making some items. This whole complex is divided into 4 main blocks, i.e. Craft Museum, Craft Village, Artists' Colony, and Karyaneka Craft Boutique.

While the Craft Museum showcases a wide range of Malaysian handicrafts and artifacts, craft demonstrations and practical interactive sessions are provided at the Crafts Village. So, here you can actually try your hand at making batiks, pewter, ceramic or woodcarving. It's sheer fun. Moreover, another place to head for is the Artists' Colony which gives the space to Malaysian artists to express their creativity through artworks.

Now it's turn to do some shopping and get some really exciting craft products that could be used for personal embellishment, interiors décor, souvenirs, textiles or corporate gifts. To get all this and much more, just make a move towards the Karyaneka Craft Boutique. For tourists and visitors, the Cultural Craft Complex organizes several events and weekly cultural shows at Laman Wau. To concise terms, the Kuala Lumpur Craft Complex is a must-visit place to apprehend the culture of Malaysia from close.
