Excitements Overload at Vision City Video Games Park, Resorts World Genting

As per my family tradition, we usually go on an eco escapade during school holidays but this time around, the school holiday coincides with Ramadan, the Muslim fasting month and since we are observing Ramadan as well, going outdoors and opting for activities that requires extreme physical exertion is definitely out of the question as we are fasting.

And so, instead of exploring some jungle again, my family and opt for some fun at Vision City Video Games Park at Resorts World Genting during the last weekend of Malaysian midterm school holiday.

Located nearby Genting Grand Hotel, Vision City Video Games Park offers 24 hours of unlimited arcade fun. Never mind what people say about arcade parlours having seen better days: but arcade gaming is definitely here to stay, especially in the context of a holiday resort. Whether one is holidaying alone, with family or friends, or with work colleagues, arcade video games do offer much entertainment value, promising hours of fun and instilling a sense of togetherness

among people. Vision City Video Games Park is where leisure seekers of all ages can enjoy the countless machines that provide an array of pleasurable challenges.

This is one of the largest arcade centres in the country, with a total of 429 units of machinery are available, offering four different types of games, namely video games, redemption games, kiddie rides and skill games.The total number of video games available is 294, including the latest state-of-the-art video machines from Japan, Taiwan and China.

Unlike the traditional arcade that I grew up with, no coin tokens are required for the machines over here at Vision City Video Games Park but we are required to use eZiCash instead. These eZiCash are the currency for Vision City Video Games and enables you to play at the arcade machines and the carnival-like games.

All you need is this eZiCash card with preloaded credits in it. We got two of the cards and armed with RM200 credits loaded in each eZiCash cards respectively.

Checking and topping-up for remaining credits can be done at designated machines for it. All you need to do is just swipe the card at the machine and you will be shown your eZiCash value.

The arcade gaming machines are pretty much hot stuff over here and you can see people going for them all the time for their dose of fun and here’s my husband and son trying one of them. This machine features a skill game where you will need team up with another player and shoot your enemy with it while strategizing and escape route.

My husband giving a competitive racing game a go.

My husband trying one of the all time favourite classic arcade game, the Paintball game.

Getting my hands on a Transformer game. This is also another one of those skill machine where I need to do both maneuveuring and shooting. Pretty challenging and I was killed off in game pretty much early.

Me, trying my hands at a music box game. I fared better here than the earlier Transformers gaming machine.

Playing the drumming game was really satisfying. I actually won this game and made it to final round.

I’m hopeless at arcade and carnival games but this time around, I was really hoping that I could can bring some plushies. Let’s just say that this is one of my unfulfilled childhood whims; being able to loot loads of plushies back from the arcade. And so, after rounds and rounds playing at those arcade machines, I practically dragged my husband and son to play those carnival games instead. Here is where you can redeem prizes instantly should you win the games that you chose to play.

Catch the Rubber Duckies game. This game relies on nothing but sheer luck. If you managed to fish a duck with a label on it’s underside, then you will win a plushie to bring home.

I gave up on this after my fourth try. Needless to say, I won nothing from the Rubber Duckies Game.

Knowing that it will be a futile attempt for me to win anything from the games over here, I bullied my son to help me win something instead on the next game; the ring tossing game.

And when the boy failed in the game, I got my husband to help me out at the claw machine game. I kinda like the plushies in the machine but I failed in getting any plushies from there after so mamy attempts. Like the Catch the Rubber Duckie game, this is quite tricky to play too. Clawing the plushies takes alot of hand-eye-coordination skill.

But winning plushies from Vision City Video Games Park is not impossible. All it takes is alot of skills and focus, and of course, patience and perserverence. My husband and son managed to win a pair of Couple Ants for me before we left.

We may not win back a dozen plushies from the games, but it was a really fun for us as a family, and I wouldn’t mind a repeated experience.

Malaysia will begin imposing its tourism tax from Aug 1 this year, starting from RM2.50  per room each night, according to details published on the Royal Malaysian Customs Department’s website.

The tax will be collected from all types of premises used as accommodation for tourists, except homestay and Kampung Stay registered under the ministry, premises managed by institutions (education), premises used for training purposes and religious institutions where such facilities are not used for commercial purposes. Premises with fewer than 10 rooms are also exempted, according to the website.

In this spirit, the Curve has joined forces with social enterprise Simply Cookies on their quest to empower single mothers whilst celebrating a joyous festive season with their children.

The five-week long collaboration between the Curve and Simply Cookies marks a first-of-its-kind initiative for the mall, as it provides the social enterprise with a platform to reach out to mall goers with their variety of products.

As special guests, 11 single mothers from PWBBM and their children were feted by the mall for a wonderful buka puasa treat. Singer-songwriter, actress and model Ziana Zain was also a guest of honour at the event.

Upon their arrival at the mall, the guests were ushered into the malls Centre Court which had been transformed to highlight the wonders of classic Islamic architecture. The shades of turquoise, white and blue used for the décor along with a customized water feature and intricate geometric design elements can be likened to a beautiful Sheikhs mansion. Mesmerised by the immersive ambience, the guests were seen eagerly anticipating the activities in store for them.

Kicking off the evening was the stunning Dance of Ahlan Wa Sahlan performance by a group of talented dancers dressed in eye-catching costumes. The great dynamics between each dance move and the catchy beats ignited the thrill of Ramadhan amongst the audience.

Encik Jazmi Kamarudin, General Manager of the Curve, said, It is a time-honoured tradition for us at the Curve to give back to society. Over the years, we have worked with many organisations, but this partnership with Simply Cookies is a new and exciting venture for us. More than just having them over at our mall for a treat, we are also delighted to lend our support to their cause by providing them with free retail space to operate their cookie booth for five weekends.”

“Through this partnership, we hope both the organisation and the mothers will be able to raise more funds that will not only strengthen their financial positions, but also give them the Hari Raya Aidilfitri they truly deserve. It has also been great having both Simply Cookies, the single mothers of PWBBM and their children here at our Raya campaign launch as special guests, and we hope they enjoyed their day with us as well,” concluded Encik Jazmi.

The mothers and their children were pleasantly surprised when they received Raya packets from the Curve and goodie bags courtesy of Pesona Warisan, Nusantara Creations, La Divine and Waarna. The mothers also walked away with a highly coveted Ziana Zains World shawl and an additional Raya packet from the songstress herself. The guests then adjourned to Ah Tuan Ee for a scrumptious buka puasa meal.

Tourism Selangor Collaborates With Hanatour Company to Build Up and Commercialise Travel Packages for Korean Market

Tourism Selangor (TSSB) showcases its travel packages and connects businesses from the state of Selangor, Malaysia and Korea in a B2C session at Hanatour International Travel Show 2017, in Korea from 8 until 11 June 2017. The event will be held in Kintex Exhibition Center, South Korea as Tourism Selangor is participating for the first time in the South Korea’s largest travel expo. 

Tourism Selangor’s booth at Kintex Exhibition Center this year features Cyberview Resort and Spa, Cyberjaya to promote their special packages in accommodations and award spa. There were more than 1000 exhibition booths last year, attracting more than 95,000 visitors in four days, which the number is expected to increase this year. 

Tourism Selangor has also officially tied up with Hanatour Company in launching its special tour packages during the exhibition. Aiming to increase arrivals in the upcoming years, Korea is a renowned destination for Malaysians, while Tourism Selangor has welcomed millions of tourists from Korea into both Selangor and Malaysia. Last year, South Korea ranked at number 4 out of all Eastern Asia countries, with the total number of 43,755 tourists from January until December in 2016.

From the fascinating fireflies colonies at Kampung Kuantan, Kuala Selangor to the world class shopping centers, Asia’s best entertainment and theme parks, there are many more attractions in Selangor that needs to be showcased to the people of the world. Others include Batu Caves, the iconic Indian temple, award winning themepark, Sunway Lagoon and golf packages.

The new packages also emphasizes on a number of new products that have emerged rapidly. These products such as Sky Mirror in Kuala Selangor, Mah Meri Cultural Village in Carey Island, Homestay Banghuris & Haji Dorani, the renowned Royal Klang Heritage Walk, as well as a number of its newest tourist-friendly shopping malls are forecasted to become a hit for Korean tourists. Bookings for the tours to these attractions can be made through Hanatour Travel Agencies available during the exhibition or via their website.

“Koreans are loyal tourists to Malaysia and we are concerned about tourism demand from South Korea. There are several tourist destinations in the state which have a potential to be included in package tours such as Kuala Selangor, Sekinchan and Sabak Bernam. It is going to be a fully customized and curated tour, guests would be picked up at their doorsteps (hotel) and the tour guides, activities, refreshments and meals are included in the package,” said Madam Noorul Ashikin Mohd Din, The General Manager of Tourism Selangor.

“The development of tourism into Selangor as far as Korean tourist arrivals did not depend solely on Hanatour being the “General Sales Agent” for all Korean market. It was the concerted efforts of all licensed local and Korean agents, Tourism Malaysia, airlines and the hotel and accommodation providers among others,” she added.

Discover Selangor is a benchmark for Tourism Selangor in promoting new and old products that have not garnered much attention, thus highlighting and promoting them to the public as well as the tourism market, domestically and abroad. The accompanying ‘Heart of Malaysia’ is used as a slogan to strengthen the current promotional campaign, specifically indicating Selangor state as a hub for transportation, development, investment, business, education, medicine and others – where it all begins and centered in the Selangor state.

Soul of Shaolin: Hui Guang’s Story

Being a hopeless romantic, I love all things romance, especially novelisation of a romantic story. When I was a teenager, I spent much of my time reading romance fiction, much to my parents’ chagrin. I had my head in the clouds with Mills&Boon and Harlequin Roamnce, but heading to adulthood, my taste in reading somewhat changed and broaden into military and action category where the stories tends to be more on the complicated and intriguing if not darker side. The actions weaved in the stories intrigue me.

I have plenty of favourite authors whose masterpieces now lays on my bookshelf but among the well known and respectable one that tops my list is Jin Yong a.k.a Louis Cha. Jin Yong is a Chinese writer who authored a series of WuXia fiction. Jin Yong’s novels are written in Chinese, a language that I am illiterate in but his work are legendary enough that plenty of translators in the book industry translated his novels into English, making it readable for those who cannot read his books in their original language. Among the notable work that I love is the Condor Trilogy; The Arching Heroes (射鵰英雄傳), The Return Of Condor Heroes (神雕侠侣) and The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber (倚天屠龍記).

WuXia which literally means “martial heroes”, is a genre of Chinese fiction concerning the adventures of martial artists in ancient China. Although WuXia is traditionally a form of literature, its popularity has caused it to spread to diverse art forms such as Chinese opera, manhua, films, television series and video games. It forms part of popular culture in many Chinese-speaking communities around the world.

I have always thought that I will only be able to enjoy the Chinese martial art story strictly via novels and TV series, but Fate has other thing on her mind and I was given a chance to witness martial art drama live, on stage through ‘Soul of Shaolin’ theatrical show.

Among the oldest institutionalised styles of Chinese martial arts, Shaolin kung fu is second to none in terms of beauty and artistry. And kung fu enthusiasts would be delighted to know that this magnificent martial art form will be on full display at Resorts World Genting.

Soul of Shaolin: Hui Guang’s Story takes centre stage from 28 May to 26 June 2017. This critically acclaimed show earned a nomination at the 63rd Tony Awards in 2009, and has held more than 500 performances worldwide in such countries as the US, Australia, Italy, Norway, India, Korea, Turkey, Macau, Hong Kong, and Turkey. When it opened at Marquis Theater on Broadway in January 2009, all its seven performances were sold out and Jan 15 was promptly proclaimed China on Broadway Day by New York City.

Here’s sharing with you all about it.

Soul of Shaolin: Hui Guang’s Story is a stirring portrait of the life of a Shaolin monk.

The tale begins with a woman who is forced to abandon her son when she finds herself pursued by a group of bandits.

The woman hides her child among tall grass before jumping off a cliff in her effort to evade capture.

The child is later found by Na Luo, a Shaolin kung fu monk, who also picks up a piece of broken jade he finds near the former.

Years go by, and the child, named Hui Guang, grows strong and healthy raised and taught by Na Luo and also Miao Xing, the abbot of Shaolin Temple.

Heart-stopping scene being performed

Hui Guang’s past is not hidden from him; the truth is revealed to him, along with the piece of jade.

Depressed upon learning about his tragic past, Hui Guang gets drunk and ends up provoking other monks.

Mother and son’s longing for each other being portrayed.

He is then punished by Miao Xing who places him in a cave known as Bodhidharma.

As it turns out, Hui Guang learns about being a paragon of virtue that it is the real soul of Shaolin.

The story continues with him later crossing paths with his mother. Still out looking for her son, she once again finds herself in trouble when she runs into some ruffians. Hui Guang and Na Luo come to her aid, and while fighting off the hoodlums, the former loses his piece of broken jade. When his mother comes upon it later, she searches for him at his temple.

Mother and son are reunited and both wish to leave the temple to begin life anew. Unfortunately, temple rules dictate that a monk that wishes to leave, must fight his way out.

Now, I won’t spoil your experience watching this Soul of Shaolin: Hui Guang’s Story by telling you what happened next, but I promise you that these are real Shaolin Kungfu we’re talking about. During the show you will get to see real Shaolin monks performing REAL Shaolin kungfu moves with no fillers or eye tricks.

It is not only action packed but filled with emotional scenes and moral values as well. Beautifully artistic and filled with emotions, Soul of Shaolin: Hui Guang’s Story will keep you on the edge of your seat and is highly recommended and a must watch for all martial art lovers and enthusiasts. It draws you into the world that you could have never imagine exists and will leave you breathless.

Soul of Shaolin: Hui Guang’s Story will be held at Genting International Showroom at 9pm or 4pm*, from 28 May to 26 June 2017. There will be two shows at 4pm and 9pm on 24 June. A total of 22 shows are scheduled, with each screening lasting 90 minutes (with 10 minutes intermission).

Tickets for Soul of Shaolin: The Story of Hui Guang are priced at RM156 (VIP), RM126 (PS1), RM96 (PS2). GRC (Genting Rewards Card) members enjoy a 10% discount.

School Holiday Fun at Genting International Children’s Festival 2017

It’s early of June 2017 as of writing and May and June usually marks the midterm holidays for most schools in Malaysia. Yes. School’s out and I’m really excited about it. Why? Well, maybe some parents who are working a 9 to 5 job detests school holidays as they need to make arrangements to accomodate their children while they are at work and plan a vacation and stuff to keep their children from feeling bored, but being a freelancer, I love school holidays very much. It means I get to hangout with my son more and we get to do more fun things together instead of being in a boring routine loop.

As per our family tradition, I usually make a point to plan an eco-escapade and get close to nature during school holidays but this time around the midterm school holiday coincides with Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting and therefore, tough outdoor activities that requires exertion are definitely out of question since my family and I are also observing Ramadan. So, instead of getting ourselves into some jungle misadventure again, we headed over to Resorts World Genting during the first week of holiday, as plenty of exciting things are going on up there during the school holiday; mainly the Genting International Children’s Festival.

Upon arrival at SkyAvenue, Resorts World Genting, a carnival-like atmosphere were abuzz and we were entertained by a brass band ensemble’s performances.The ensemble performed two songs at each of their designated light stop in SkyAvenue.

Genting International Children’s Festival 2017- Anime Characters Walkaround

Uploaded by K Network Media on 2017-05-29.

Initially, I thought that was all but I was completely wrong as just after the brass band ensemble made their exit, we spotted anime cosplayers coming out for meet and greet and entertain the kids. I’m a huge fan of anime. Characters spotted in the cosplayer’s entourage; Sailormoon, Dragonball characters, Vocaloid Hatsune Miku, Naruto, Fullmetal Alchemist characters, St.Seiya, One Piece character, Suicide Squad character and Disney prince and princesses.

Spotting Sailormoon and Dragonball characters is where my nuts practically went off the bolt. I’m a huge fan of these two anime series and behaving more like a school kid myself rather than someone’s mother, I chased after the cosplayers with my husband and son in tow for some pictures.

And of course, what Ellie wants, Ellie gets. And here’s yours truly with her all time favourite heroine, Sailormoon. Yup. That’s a Moon Stick I was holding. It’s Sailormoon’s weapon. But of course, mine was actually just a monopod that I bought months back from Jonker Street in Melaka.

Who strikes a better Sailormoon pose? Me or her?

Some other anime characters spotted: Naruto from Naruto Shippuden, Luffy from One Piece, St. Seiya and Alphonse Eldric from Fullmetal Alchemist.

Joker and Harley Quinn from the Suicide Squad.

Dragonball characters. From left: Son Goku, Freeza and Piccolo.

Here’s a pic of me with Piccolo

Being an avid anime fan, being able to meet and greet the characters is quite an exciting experience and almost a childhood dream come true.
