The Smurfs Live On Stage @ Resorts World Genting

Be your kid's favourite parent/ aunty/ uncle/ bigger sister/ brother by bringing them to The Smurfs Live On Stage at Resorts World Genting. Why? Because if even I was singing to the Smurf tune whenever the La La song is on, your children will be dancing to it! I was even blue to the occasion that evening with my favourite blue dress.
The Smurfs Live on Stage-The Smurfs Save Spring
The child in me just found her way out by shaking my head from side to side with a cheer that I could not contain when the blue beings marched out on the stage. It instantly chased all the blue I accumulated from the week. It is always happy spring time when these white-hatted blue Smurfs appear. I must say that the musical is articulately played by actors with wonderful voices that made songs delivered live literally music to the ear . The show disseminates positive messages about friendship, teamwork and care for the environment.

“This year is the Smurfs’ 60th anniversary, as they were born in 1958,” says Nick Larkin, producer of the show. “It took many, many years of meetings, approvals, designing and planning to bring this show to life, but it was worth it in the end. The play was interactive with actors drawing reaction from the crowd to complete the scene. The audience were seen happily offering their response by answering unanimously and waving their hands in the air.
Smurfs are akin to spring
Directed by John Rowe and choreographed by Katie Kermond, of Millennium Entertainment International, ‘The Smurfs Live On Stage – The Smurfs Save Spring’ presents an original story about the Smurfs’ favourite time of the year – spring. As the village prepares for their much-awaited Spring Parade, their perennial nemesis – the evil Gargamel – plots to disrupt the festivities with another one of his wicked plans. The Smurfs will have to work together to battle Gargamel and save Mother Nature, brought to life by the talented actors of this long-running touring production. 
Gargamel- the villain who constantly wishes for the extinction of Smurfs
Eight of the best-known Smurfs will feature prominently in ‘The Smurfs Live On Stage – The Smurfs Save Spring’, including Pape Smurf, Clumsy Smurf, Brainy Smurf and the lovely Smurfette.

Earth Hour at Sunway Lagoon's Blackout Fest

Only in the darkness can you see the stars...and have an awesome time! Earth Hour on 24th March 2018 beckons not only awareness to conserve energy but also to disconnect from gadgets and reconnect with people. The Surf Beach at Sunway Lagoon provided the perfect setting to observe the hour while we unfurl during the weekend.
Sunway Lagoon's Blackout Fest 2018
All about music, food and fun vibes
Despite the many times I have been to the Surf Beach at Sunway Lagoon, I am still not blase about the place. Clean water, sand, giant balloons, lots of wind and music-articulated vibes- what is there not to like?
A wonderful place to observe Earth Hour
Only the dark can you see the beautiful glow
Earth Hour, organized by WWF, is a global grassroots movement uniting people to take action on climate change and protect the planet (www.earthhour.org) I personally think we can do better than 1 hour but lets get the awareness across thoroughly before we are too ambitious.
60 minutes of observation
All decorative lights were switched off at 8:30 pm till 9:30 pm. Candle lights were spread from one person to the other till the beach was speckled with glow. In that solidarity, we were serenaded by local artistes- RazQa, V5 and The Impatient Sisters. And without those artificial lights, it was a sweet moment of relaxation.

After an hour of abstaining from using unnecessary energy, we rewarded ourselves by resuming the games and play. Sunway Lagoon's professional performance crew added to the entertainment with their fascinating manouevre of fire and flame blowing stunts.
This is the day you will always remember as the day you almost caught Capt Jack Sparrow -Capt Jack Sparrow-

Birthday Celebration at Hotel on the Park @ Resorts World Genting

The family is always more excited when it comes to my father's and sister's birthday. Because their special days fall on the same month and only 2 weeks apart, it is one of the months that we look forward to in the year because their birthday bash would be combined and a party-worthy one. When we heard that Genting has reincarnated one of its hotels into a spanking funky hotel, we decided to make their birthday celebration literally a cool one!
Check out our staycation in Genting's latest Hotel on the Park
Although just an hour away from Kuala Lumpur, Genting never fails to make me feel like I am in another country. In the cable car especially, I am awed by its scenery again and again. For a moment, those ethereal mist managed to hoodwink me the whole family to thinking that we were in Switzerland! Hahaha how we wished.

Scenery behind us managed to delude us to thinking we were in Switzerland
Being Resorts World Genting's first hotel, the Theme Park hotel has contributed to the propagation of the many other hotels at the peak. Resorts World Genting gives no chance for its longest established hotel to be a passe among its stellar and newer assets. In July 2017, the Theme Park Hotel has been relaunched into the spanking new Hotel on the Park, accommodating mainly families and visitors in groups, in preparation for the opening of the very anticipated Fox Theme Park!
The main entrance of Hotel on the Park already imbues a sprightly mood
The reception of the hotel adopts a minimalist and contemporary style 
If the hotel was a human, I would definitely hire the plastic surgeon who did its make over! There was no sign of old-age at the Hotel on the Park. In fact, it is saturated boisterous energy and hints of fun at every corner. At the lobby itself, check out their trick mirror, giant bench and stacks of huge cups.
The lobby is already a fun place to be!

Never too small for a huge bench!
Which giant family these cups belong to?
We already had an expectation of what the room would make us feel but when we stepped into the room, the real thing exceeded it. Sorry to bust the surprise for you but this is what the room looks like. The sight the drawings on the blinds and wall will already make children feel like the hotel is designed for them. And for adults, welcome to la la land!
Our room comfortable for 6 people!

Artsy room that appeals to anyone ready to have fun!
Despite the playful interior, there are some really serious matters being taken care of in the hotel. There is a fully functional safety box in every room, deep compartments big enough to stow away your bulky luggage, toiletries enough for everyone (six people for our room), thick towels and anti-slip slippers for all.

Space saving compartments to substitute the conventional cupboard
Happy feet for all
Being the first hotel build in Genting, it is seated at a vantage location that overlooks the low lands. To me, the magnificent view is worth the whole stay. In the future, Fox Theme Park better be another reason! No photograph can do justice to the scenery we have from our room. The night view is even more spell-binding. I found myself letting the glowing lights lull me to sleep.
Breathtaking scenery overlooking the English Garden and even KL! 
If you think this is beautiful, wait till the sun sets. Scroll down! I will show you

Ooo la la!

The English Garden just in front of the hotel is a place that you cannot miss. This paradise matches the portrayal of Eden in my mind. Park benches are at every corner for visitors to sit and absorb nature's grace. When the moon replaces the sun, a visit to the English Garden is even more compulsory! The vantage point that commands a heavenly view is beyond words. Watch the night orchestrate an awesome show of lights and luminescence.

Morning was not easy for us that Sunday. I did not know drugs can come in the form of a bed! We slept so well because the air is naturally conditioned and indisputably the best medicine from the malaise of daily work. But Chin Swee Temple was waiting so we had some incentive to resist sleeping in. Breakfast at Eatopia was ready at 9pm. The grab-and-go breakfast was a huge packet of yummy chicken curry nasi lemak, a pastry and a can of beverage. Definitely was fueled up to kick-start the day!

Check out our day at Chin Swee Cave Temple and Senikome, Resorts World Genting's latest arts and cultural centre.
