浪漫土耳其之旅 Part 7

伊斯坦堡城里有很多清真寺，所以一早就把我们叫醒了。由于民宿没有提供早餐，我们便到街上去吃早餐了。这一天的早餐甚至还有大狗狗坐在我们旁边一起吃！

吃饱后，我们便走下山坡去搭有轨电车（ tram ）浏览伊斯坦堡。

首先我们来到了鼎鼎著名的蓝色清真寺(Sultan Ahmed Mosque)。这里刚好还在维修所以我们花了很短的时间便游览完毕。有趣的是，在蓝色清真寺旁边的草场，我们看见猫猫狗狗在那里躺着，也没有人会去赶走它们。这跟马来西亚真的很大的不同。

在蓝色清真寺对面，也是鼎鼎大名的圣索菲亚大教堂(Hagia Sophia Museum)。我特别喜欢它粉红的围墙，感觉浪漫无比。

Paul Immigrations Reviews: Apply for Singapore PR Effortlessly

浪漫土耳其之旅 Part 6

Alacati是愛琴海小镇，到处都是美丽的风景。一望出去尽是石头小路，石头房子，和美丽的鲜花。到处都可以拍到美丽的照片。我和友人约好了一大早一起穿婚纱出去拍照，随便拍都很美很美。 

唯一美中不足的是我们遇到一群土耳其小孩一直追着我们要钱，蛮恐怖的。 

拍完照后我们到处走走。小镇大概有四五个小街，街上茶饮小吃一应俱全，我还在这里看到 watsons 呢！ 

浪漫土耳其之旅 Part 5

睡醒后，我们在Urkmez Hotel享用早餐后便启程要去以弗所 (Ephesus)。刚好酒店负责人问我们要不要跟一对法国夫妇共享的士，那样会省下的士费。我们答应后，酒店负责人便帮我们呼叫的士了。

从酒店去以弗古城很靠近，一下就到了。爱琴海畔的以弗所又译艾菲斯 ( Ephesus/ Esef)，是地中海东部保存的最好的古典城市，是体验和感受罗马时代生活的好地方。

这座美丽的城市一直以来是游客造访土耳其时最钟爱的地点之一，面积广阔的古城遗迹，保存至今已有两千余年的历史，目前已列入联合国教科文组织列管的古迹之一。所以，我们在这里看到很多旅行团的游客，有来自马来西亚的，国外的等等。如果听导游介绍，全程要三个小时左右。而我们没有导游，所以花了一个多小时就游览完了。

浪漫土耳其之旅 Part 4

我们乘搭Kamil Koç的夜巴从Goreme 到Pamukkale需要9个小时多。在车上有免费水和 USB Port 充电。路途中还会停几个站让乘客上厕所。 

我们在凌晨5点多抵达目的地 - Denizli 巴士车站。在这里下车后我们便找地方坐下，和去厕所洗刷换衣。这里的厕所需要投进1里拉才能进去。梳洗后我们在车站吃 simit 作早餐，然后便去储藏行李了。这里的行李储藏费蛮便宜的，但是感觉不是很安全，呵呵。 

之后我们便乘搭小巴去棉花堡（ Pamukkale）了。这天早上雨下个不停，好纳闷！我们下车后遇到了当地旅行社的一个负责人，原本很健谈的他后来一直要卖我们棉花堡团 (sit-in couch)，我们拒绝了之后他也不想搭理我们了。 

浪漫土耳其之旅 Part 3

第三天，也是我们在 Cappadocia 卡帕多奇亚的最后一天。我们快快享用了早餐便赶去 Galeri Ikman拍照。

在早上不到10°C 的天气，我们穿着婚纱躺在地毯上，无人机就像是一个大风扇一直吹着我们，可是一面拍一面发抖啊！还好出来的照片和短片是美美的。 

之后，我们赶快回酒店换衣去参加 Green Line Tour 了。 Green Line Tour 比 Red Line Tour长，从早上9点多到傍晚6点多左右。我们去了鸽子谷（Pigeon Valley），成千上万的鸽子飞行于山谷中，好壮观啊。

Personalized Cotton T-Shirts by Printcious

Cotton t-shirt is everyone's everyday wardrobe essentials, do you agree? Not only they are comfortable, they are also easy to style for a casual OOTD.

I like to wear cotton t-shirt on non working day because I can enjoy myself freely in it. From doing house chores, to going out for a coffee date with friends. However, it is boring to wear the same t-shirt with everyone so I have tried to personalized my own cotton t-shirt this time, thanks to Printcious.

Printcious has come a long way, from what started off as a small ordinary gift shop has blossomed into something that they could only dream off. It was a lifelong dream of aspiring brothers that has now become a reality. They offer all sort of personalised gifts on their website.

I used to think personalised gifts is only for designer with design knowledge but it proof that I am wrong. In fact, if you do not have an idea on how to design your own, you can use Printcious' free and beautiful templates too. It was my first time designed my own t-shirts, but the process was simple and fast.

Just choose the color and size of the t-shirt, then start designing by adding image and words. It's that straight forward!

Chinese New Year 2020 Celebration @ SOULed OUT Kuala Lumpur

My family and I had ring in a prosperous Chinese New Year 2020 at SOULed OUT Kuala Lumpur on Sat, 7th Feb 2020.

My girls have enjoyed the great shows all night long.

浪漫土耳其之旅 Part 2

超过24小时舟车劳顿后，我们终于到达浪漫土耳其之旅的第一个景点 - Cappadocia 卡帕多奇亚。这里可是闻名世界的历史古迹，拥有奇特的岩石构造，岩洞，半隐居人群。

一到达这里，我就知道为什么它被美国国家地理杂志社选为世界上最美丽的地方之一了。这里我们看到来自世界各地的旅客坐热气球，骑马，玩 ATV，或在岩洞酒店里享受宁静的片刻。 

这次我们下榻 Cappadocia 的小镇 – Goreme 格雷梅的岩洞酒店。

Check-in 酒店后，我们就步行到附近的巴士站购买两天后从Goreme 到Pamukkale的夜车票。刚好Kamil Koç的车符合我们的时间所以我们便选了它。

A Trip to SEA LIFE Malaysia @ LEGOLAND® Theme Park

I remember this scene in Aquaman movie where he was visiting the aquarium and talked to the fishes on a school trip. In fact, the ocean makes up most of our planet. The creatures that dwell in the ocean are enchanting and endlessly fascinating. That’s why I love to bring my kids to aquarium too.

I am glad that SEA LIFE Malaysia, the first interactive LEGO® themed aquarium in Malaysia has opened its doors to the public on 9th May 2019. Located next to LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort, it features unique local marine life in an exclusive Malaysian habitat and local themes such as the Wanli shipwreck alongside LEGO® elements.

“We are thrilled to welcome all our local and international guests to SEA LIFE Malaysia. Our team of experts and aquarists have been working tirelessly to ensure that all our marine friends are settled into their new homes and aquarium offerings meet the international SEA LIFE brand standard. With the opening of SEA LIFE Malaysia, we are able to provide families a complete fun and educational experience alongside our water park, theme park and hotel. LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort will continue to be one of the region’s best family destinations,” said Kurt Stocks, General Manager of LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort.

“We wanted to celebrate this journey with our annual pass holders by inviting them to be one of the first to experience SEA LIFE Malaysia before our doors open to the public. Unlike with movies, we are hoping that they share all the amazing spoilers from their visit to SEA LIFE Malaysia because it is a truly unique and educational experience that is not so easily replicated elsewhere,” Kurt added.

浪漫土耳其之旅 Part 1

旅行，是我俩一直都很喜爱的事儿。打从在一起以后，我们每年都会到处旅行。有时间的时候去国外，没那么长的假期时就在本土趴趴走也行。婚后，我俩也常常会带两个小孩一起旅行。我曾经听朋友说，宁愿把钱花在购物上，才不会把钱花在旅行上。其实，那是见仁见智吧。我们觉得旅行带来的不是物质，而是心灵上的提升和满足。人活在世上，就应该出去走走看看更多的人，事，物，才不枉此生，你说呢？ 

就在一个新世纪来临前的 2019 年，我们俩踏上了浪漫土耳其之旅。很多人问我们，为什么去土耳其？其实我也不知道，只知道我们的好朋友刚好要去土耳其，而我们刚好也没有计划， 所以就跟着一起去了。 

我从来都不喜欢做旅行行程，还好友人是这一方面的专家，包办了所有行程和衣食住行的安排。所以我临行前也没有做什么功课，也不知道会去的地方到底长什么样儿。就那样杠着30公斤的行李从马来西亚出发了。 

这一趟长途之旅我们选择了乘坐星加坡航空，所以必须从 KLIA 搭飞机去 Changi airport transit。启程之前我已经期待 Changi Jewel Vortex 的演出所以我们选择了停留在Changi 5个多小时。我们甚至兴奋到忘了在 KLIA 领取一早预定了的便捷式 wifi! 真是的！还好的是之前在吉隆玻租借了另一个便捷式 wifi，不然我可是成了罪人（这次的土耳其自助旅行便捷式 wifi是我负责的）了。 

The Best Family Hotel @ Ipoh, Perak - Putrade Allsuites at RPGC

The fourth largest city in the country, Ipoh has been gaining steady recognition as a tourism destination in recent years. A confluence of factors – including the city’s deep-rooted colonial and cultural heritage, the abundance of natural attractions in and around Ipoh, as well as convenient tourist access enabled by its own international airport – has increased Ipoh’s allure and popularity with domestic and international travallers alike. The city’s tourism is expected to get a further boost as the Perak administration starts rolling out various initiatives under the ‘Visit Malaysia Year 2020’ campaign.

In supporting the ‘Visit Malaysia Year 2020’ campaign, I took the chance to bring my whole family to Ipoh, Perak for a visit-visit Malaysia weekend getaway. As a family of 2 parents and 2 young kids, we need more than a normal hotel room to cater our stay. Luckily, we have found the best family hotel Ipoh has to offers.

Located in the Royal Perak Golf Club, Putrade Allsuites offers greater convenience that meets the needs of its guest with various accesses to hot tourist spots, entertainment and shopping convenience such as Concubine Lane, Lost World of Tambun, Perak Tong Cave Temple, and Gunung Lang.

The Healthy Pomegranate Rejuvenation Guide by Mamonde

The new year very often signifies a new start and a new chapter in life. For some, it will be just making some lifestyle changes which include overhauling one’s body with a healthier diet, going green to save the planet and choosing to use products that contain natural ingredients over synthetic ones. Taking the first step to making a change is always a challenge.

Therefore, Mamonde has put together a Pomegranate Rejuvenation Guide to help you kickstart that change towards living a healthier life. A healthy lifestyle begins with a healthy diet that gives you a healthy skin – And Pomegranate is the way to go! Packed with a multitude of vitamins and antioxidants, pomegranates are known for their many health benefits. Getting the recommended daily dose of vitamins is important for our immune system to stay healthy and strong, which in turn helps us stay in the pink of health.

Here are the three essential steps in the Mamonde Pomegranate Rejuvenation Guide: 

1. Eat A Pomegranate Rich Diet

Often touted as a popular superfood, pomegranates are not only rich in vitamins and antioxidants but also delicious! Incorporating pomegranate into everyday recipes is a quick and easy way to give your meals a nutritional boost. Some of the essential vitamins that we need daily are Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Vitamin K, which are all found in pomegranates. These vitamins play a key role in ensuring that our body stays healthy. Pomegranates are also high in fibre and potassium, which helps promote a healthy digestive system.
