Went to a beautiful place last month. It is at Batang Kali. The place is called Eco Murai Rimba and there is a river just opposite. The river is clean. So we can bathe there. Check out my video.
I like it very much, but it is abit scary at night as it is in the jungle.
I visited a batik shop last month. Check out my video
It was fun. I get to see people make batik and I paint batik too.
Batik factory
We get to try batik painting. This time nobody push me. So I paint too.
I made two. Bunga raya and bunga refllesia. 🙂
I was very happy. Mummy bought some clothes. But there is none for me. Because they only sell adult clothes there.

Homestay is always interesting. I went to stay in homestays a couple of times with Papa and Mummy and I like them very much. The most recent homestay we visited is Bagasta Bougainvillae Homestay. It is nearby my home, somewhere in Gombak.
This homestay is run by Mandailing people. And they are very big on culture.
Check out my video. One day with Mandailing people. It is very interesting.
When we arrived, there are people playing traditional drums. It goes boom boom and bam bam.
Uncle Libra and abang RTM is welcomed by ‘penghulu’ of the homestay. They put a scarve on his neck and dance as he walked inside the homestay.
Emily Jie Jie cooking tempe. It is one of the things we did that day. She keep screaming while cooking. She was afraid of the hot oil.
Nasi Upah Upah. A special traditional rice cooked by Mandailing people. They usually serve this on people’s birthday and for sick people.
The rice is for sharing. I just ate the chicken. It is very tasty.
The Mandailing people are very interesting. I really like them. They are very friendly and during lunch, they keep ask me if I want more food. I was very happy.

My mummy is a very adventurous person. She is very different from everyone else. I’m a lucky boy because she don’t really care if I do well in school or not.
Sometimes I pity her. People sometimes says she fail as I don’t do well at school, because I am autistic and I am dyslexic. The only way for me to communicatd is online and through writing with my ipad. (I cannot write normally. It will all be backwards. And I have problems talking. It hurt my head when I do.)
But I think mummy is amazing. Cousins my age all have to go tuitions and have no life outside school, and they get scolded even when they score their exam, but I don’t have to worry about that and get to see the world because of her. They always show off. Friends too. I never like it. But it is okay. They don’t get to have fun like me.
Last week, we followed trip with Tourism Malaysia Selangor. We had fun. A lot. I like the people there. They are kind and friendly. Not like some people I meet. They don’t look at me as if I’m a freak or call me retard.
We went to alot places in just one day.
First we went to Gua Damai. For rock climbing. Mummy did rock climbing. But she don’t let me do it. Because it is too tall.
Then we visited a homestay. We get to eat nasi upah and cook sambal tempe.
And then, we visited a Batik shop. It is called Barakaff Exclusive. Here, we get to to do Batik painting at the factory area
Lastly, we stay a night in Eco Murai Rimba. It is a nice and quiet place and there is a river just opposite of it where everyone go and swim the next day.
I will tell you more about these places. It is really fun. I promise.
Stay tune, for more. You can also follow our family blog https://blogging- circle.com(I helped with video and picture edit there because mummy don’t know how) or my instagram @aliengotravel for update. 🙂 Say hi. And I will say hi to you back.
Do you like pirate? I like pirates, so Mummy brought me to Melaka Alive: Pirate Adventure. This is the second time I visit Melaka Alive. My first time was in April. Back in April, it was for 5D Bahtera Merdeka performance.
Bahtera Merdeka is actually a stage kind of ship. It is located in front of Proclamation of Independence. The landmark is the famous Porta de Santiago. You know, the building people usually mistake as the A Famosa.
Melaka Alive new attraction: Pirate Adventures. Here, you can go up in the ship and play pirate for a day.
There are a lot of pirates inside the ship and you need to find your way out. It is something like the horror or ghost house, but instead of ghost, there are pirates and monsters in it.
Pirates
You will need to walk through the jungle
And search for treasure. But careful, there is a dungeon here.
Scary
Octopus attack! You need to fight the octopus before you can go out.
Beat it up! Yeehaaaaa!
Get rewarded with treasure! It is a really fun place for an adventure.
Below is information for it if you want to go.

The Ministry of Tourism and Culture (MOTAC) has organized ‘Voluntourism PUSPANITA IM4U at Pantai Bagan Lalang, Sepang, Selangor back in 22th August 2015 and I went with Papa, Mummy and Uncle Koz.
