Trip to Kampung Sungai Melayu, Johor Bahru

On the 9th of September 2018, my family and I took part in an excursion to Kampung Sungai Melayu. There were around 16 families, total of 70 people in this excursion, and was organised by mummy Jac (Thank you Jac!) Some background about Kampung Sungai Melayu : - It existed as early as 1864 or about 150 years before formation of Kota Iskandar as Administrative Center of Johor - Distance to Singapore is a mere 5km and takes only 5 minutes to get to Singapore. - It is among the last traditional Malay fishing village along the Straits of Tebrau.

Where to eat near Legoland Malaysia - Part 1

Believe it or not, this is the number one question asked by my friends or relatives visiting Legoland Johor! To be more specific, those who came to Johor Bahru for holiday, and staying within the Nusajaya or Bukit Indah area.

No photographs of the restaurants but here I took photos of their business cards instead. Restaurants are located within Bukit Indah, Taman Perling or Nusa Bestari area, ouetside shopping malls vicinity. Click here for Part 2 , Part 3 and Part 4 of this "Where to Eat" series. Hook Sang Seafood Restaurant (Non-Halal) Food : 8/10. Seafood is fresh, taste good as well. The satay s

Where to Dispose Used Batteries in Johor Bahru

Ever since we moved to Johor Bahru 3 years back, I had been searching high and low for a place which accepts used batteries for disposal. We had quite a lot of used batteries being kept and accumulated in the storeroom as I refused to just throw them out with the rubbish. I was hoping with the opening of IKEA Tebrau last year, I can then dispose the used batteries there, as the ones in Mutiara Damansara has dedicated disposal bins for batteries. Alas, the IKEA here does not have it as well. Desparate, I asked for help in a forum. Someone directed me to the Jabatan Alam Sekitar Negeri Johor located in Danga Utama. I paid a visit to the place, with one bagful of used batteries. The building wasn't that hard to find, partly because I am quite familiar with the commercial area. Inside, next to the customer counter, is a huge clear plastic bin, full of used batteries. They have categorised what type of batteries to put, such as phone batteries and accessories, but d
