The Shore Oceanarium @ Melaka ^^

October 2015 - This trip to Melaka, we have decided to visit some different tourist attractions besides visiting the usual Jonker Street, A Famosa, eating Nyonya food and etc. So here we are after Mummy searched online for some new tourist attractions in Melaka! They are indeed very new and it is a very much different experience compare to the Aquaria at KLCC.

The Shore Oceanarium is the New Premier Tourist Attraction in Melaka. It is located at 2nd floor of The Shore Shopping Gallery. During this visit, we also take the chance to visit The Shore Sky Tower at the 42nd Floor too! An Adventurous Trip for the Boys ^^

We in total paid RM138 for a Combo Package of 2 Adults & 2 Kids which include the Entrance Fee to the Oceanarium and the Sky Tower with one Feeding Turtle Package. All information about the activities can be read at: http://www.oceanariummelaka.com/



The Quizes and the Answers ^^ We have to fill up all in order to redeem a souvenir from the Oceanarium! A very information way for the visitors to read more about the Facts of Ocean!

Merdeka Weekend Getaway @ Amverton Cove Golf and Island Resort ^^

Our initial plan on a Stay-cation at KL was called off a week before the Merdeka long weekend due to the Rally which was taking place on 8.29 & 8.30 at KL City. We had decided not to drive in to KL on that weekend as we have two Boys with us. Instead, Hubby was kind enough to offer to me a few different choices, however, none of them seemed to be available due to the last minute arrangements! Well, disappointments after disappointments. And finally, he told me, why not we drive to Tanjung Sepat for a Seafood Dinner? Okay then…! A choice which I was not really interested in but better than coped at home and doing nothing… Hehe!

A sudden and unplanned Road Trip to Tanjung Sepat for some local Delicacies and Seafood led us to this short Resort stay. For the very first time, we packed our simple luggage in the car and stopped by four different Resorts to get ourselves a room nearby Sepang and Tanjung Sepat. But to our disappointments, none of the Resorts were available. All fully booked... It looked like we really need to drive back to KL and sleep in our own house after the Seafood Dinner!

After our delicious dinner at the Restaurant Asam Batu Laut, it was still early. We had decided to use another road to drive back KL to avoid traffic jam instead of the one which we used earlier from KL to Tanjung Sepat. It was another sceneries, another experience! On our way back, our Boys looked disappointed and restless because holidays ended without a Hotel stay. However, to our surprise, we saw a signboard along the roads at a small town written “Amverton Cove Golf and Island Resort”. We were curious at the same time thrilled. Finally, we had one last chance to try our luck again! We try searching for the place by using WAZE. It was around 20 minutes away from the location where we spotted the signboard. Hubby decided to drive there and gave it a try and of course, the Boys were thrilled!

We found this hidden gem nearby Sungai Langat (if not mistaken) and it was located in an isolated location. Hubby was satisfied with the Resort’s architecture so we had decided to walk in for the final try. Luckily they had one last room for us! Indeed very happy... It was almost 8pm by then! The Boys really jumped up with joy and I was truly amazed that for the very first time in my life... I DID this! We checked-in to a totally no idea where was the Resort at this late evening but indeed it was a GOOD and FUN stay for the Boys! A great Resort to stay in for a Family Holiday! The room is quite basic but the Resort has some Activities available for Kids and Families. Our Boys enjoyed the Swimming Pool Slides, Indoor Playground and the Kids ATV track a lot! More information of the activities can read HERE.

Thanks to Hubby for his undying effort to drive us around to look for a hotel to sleep over for the night on this Merdeka Weekend Getaway. It marked a different experience for our Family Road Trip ^^ We really enjoyed ourselves a lot and we had a good stay too!

The Photos of the Resort speak for itself~
