Company Trip 08 - A' Famosa

I recently went for a company trip to A' Famosa. For those whom are not from Malaysia, A' Famosa is located in Melaka, Malaysia. This is quite a famous tourist place as well. It's really big there, somehow seems like a city by itself.

We stayed in this villa which is kinda nice, it has this swimming pool at the backyard as well. But we gals did not go to our pool coz ours are kinda dirty. As for the guys, they really did enjoy swimming n chilling in the pool and do all their "stuns".

We 12 girls in a villa, I wonder where is another gal that time.

Oh, I managed to capture this. The guy's place. They can chuck as many things as possible on the table.


They have Safari there as well but we did not go for that as our package does not include that and due to the time constraint as well. A'Famosa also have this small town called Cowboy Town which is quite famous.

Of course during the trip, I din miss out the chance to take a picture with 1 of the animal, the Horse. Felt that it's quite pitiful as well cause whenever there's a bus around, the horse feel kinda streesed out and it has to carry a crate behind.



There are many different type of breeds of horse performing different task. Horses life span is about 25~30 years. However, there is 1 horse call "Old Billy", a horse which lived in the 19th century, lived up to 62 years. That's double the life span of a normal horse. Pregnancy for horse lasts for approximately 335-340 days and usually results in one foal.

I found some terminology from Wikipedia.The following terminology is used to describe horses of various ages:

Foal: a horse of either sex less than one year old. A nursing foal is sometimes called a suckling and a foal that has been weaned is called a weanling. Most domesticated foals are weaned at 4-6 months of age.

Yearling: a horse of either sex that is between one and two years old.

Colt: a male horse under the age of four. A common terminology error is to call any young horse a colt, when the term actually only refers to young male horses.

Filly: a female horse under the age of four.

Mare: a female horse four years old and older.

Stallion: a non-castrated male horse four years old and older. Some people, particularly in the UK, refer to a stallion as a "horse." A Ridgling or "Rig" is a stallion which has an undescended testicle. If both testicles are not descended, the horse may appear to be a gelding, but will still behave like a stallion.

Gelding: a castrated male horse of any age, though for convenience sake, many people also refer to a young gelding under the age of four as a "colt."

There is so much more about horses which I could type "forever", I'll leave that for bloggeries in the future. For the time being, you may click here to view more about horse.

Back to the topic, there is also a baby elephant which tourist can pay to take a photo together. But this baby elephant is being chained-up for safety of the tourist.

During this company trip of coz we have the team building activities, it was kinda fun and we have some free and easy time to play at the water world where we can see our male colleagues go wild. =p. Then at night I was 1 of the emcee for the dinner, I guess I'm the worst of all.



Overall, all of us had a great time.

Trip to Singapore - Night Safari and Sentosa Island's Penguin Lagoon

Wow... time flies. Not at normal speed but seems like with a speed of light for me. I just realize that I have not blog for 2 weeks since my last update.

Last weekend, I was at singapore for 3 days 2 nights. First night was with my sister whom is happily working there and second night i joined my friends who reached there really late for a 2 days 1 night trip as if Singapore is right beside Selangor just like Negeri Sembilan. I guess the trip almost turn up as a 1 day trip for them.

I took a coach there all by myself(omg, this is my first time travelling to a place alone, felt quite exciting though). of coz, I bought the single seat coz I can move around easily and still get to sit at the corner. These are some of the pictures taken in the coach with breakfast provided.

Once reached Singapore, my sis picked me up from the bus drop off point and we straight head for lunch and shopping. First stop was this Grman restaurant in Vivo City. They have really nice sausages...*yum yum* delicious! Next was this dark chocolate milkshake from Godiva.

After some shopping then we head back to the condominium. I saw some owners walk their dog in the condo compound..how nice! we don't get to do that here as many condos doesn't allow.


I've recently cut and dyed my hair and some people say I looks like a mouse or squirrel. I totally looks more like I'm from a rodent family when I wore these Disney mouse hat.






Oh wait, where are the animals? I dun mean my friends ok?(no worries, they won't get offended, they'll just come straight and kill me). Of coz i dun leave out animals in my trip. I visited the Night Safari and Sentosa Island Penguin Lagoon.

I have forgotten the name of this rodent type, but they're the biggest in rodent family.


Okay, i know that's a very very bad photo with wrong angle. They're really active moving here and there. So, there you go, a poster of it.


I've forgotten what animal this is.


************************The Next Day at Sentosa********************************

During the performances by the pink penguins, the emcee have invited some volunteery visitors to come upfront. they get to pet the dolphin and there's this Mexico guy whom is really lucky, he get to be kissed by the pink dolphin. Really envy about that coz I wasn't the chosen one.

But, you could still pay some amount of money to take a photo together with the dolphin.

While walking around the dolphin lagoon, we manage to spot this peacock roaming around.

There are a lot more to share, but that's all for now! Stay tune for the next update very soon(half way resizing the photos).
