Meet and Greet Power Rangers Live in Genting During School Holidays
Are you a huge fan of Power Rangers? When I was a child, I liked em very much. I practically grew up with Power Rangers. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to be exact.
My parents did not approve it as the showtime back then somewhat clashes with my tuition class and I would occasionally skip classes or asks for replacement so that I could watch Power Rangers. My favourite was the Yellow Ranger, and I could still remember collecting Power Rangers merchandises and stashing them down under my bed so that my mother wouldn’t find my treasure.
As I grow up, I grew out of Power Rangers and started to go nuts on Japanese manga and anime, but the child in me still got excited over Power Rangers when I discovered that they are making a comeback and in live show in Malaysia nevertheless; Power Rangers Live in Genting 2016.
I was given an opportunity to watch it first hand during the media preview in Resorts World Genting and it felt like a childhood dream came true. I felt like a little girl all over again, fantasizing that I’m Yellow Ranger.
Power Rangers Live in Genting 2016, is the first Power Rangers live show to be ever held in Southeast Asia.

The Power Rangers, the five warriors chosen by the Energems to protect Earth and to prevent it from falling into evil hands, find themselves repeatedly engaged in battle with Fury, Poisandra and their sidekicks.
The villians in Power Rangers Live in Genting 2016 plotting their evil scheme.
But one of the Power Rangers, Pink, is captured by the villains—along with an Energem. The fate of the world then lies in the hands of the rest of the Power Rangers—they have to free Pink and regain the Energem.

Valley Agro Park consists of a few attractions on it’s own, which are the chalets, the Bee Farm and Bee Museum, the restaurant and the fishing pond. It is a perfect place for an eco escapade but if you are looking for something sweetly educational, try visiting the Bee Farm and the Bee Museum, located in the vicinity of Valley Agro Park.

Mini rabbit petting zoo
The rabbits are pretty shy and they were hiding in the beginning. But after awhile, they started to come out from their holes and started to make an appearance.

A lone, curious little one, looking at me.
One started to approach me.
And the rest started to warm up. Interestingly enough, one of them got overly friendly and started to chew on my shoes. My shoes must be really tasty as they couldn’t seems to stop.
The rest started hopping after my son.
