Browsing through some of the pictures I took recently, with easy listening music playing through my headphones, I was pleased to remember that my family and I enjoyed our visit to the UMS Aquarium & Marine Museum tremendously.
My two older kids were delighted and thrilled to see real life “Nemo” and “Dory”, two beautiful fish immortalized in one classic movie.
My youngest child, not yet aware of who Nemo is, was more thrilled by a small sea turtle – a new addition to the place since the first time we visited it earlier this year.
But all three were frightened by the few huge fish about one metre long which kept coming to the side of their aquarium glass wall where we were – as if showing themselves off.
My favorite however were the seahorses – charming sea creatures which are both beautiful and interesting.
One thing is for sure, as small as it is, we will visit this place again.
My children enjoy watching dance performances – and I encourage this interest especially with traditional dances because they need to know their own culture.
Because of them, even the least culturally inclined Malaysians can make fairly accurate guesses on whether a certain dance is from Peninsular Malaysia or Sabah/Sarawak.
Along Jalan Lintas, a busy dual lane highway which connects the suburbs of Kolombong and Kepayan, are two commercial buildings called D’Junction and Venetian.
When we see groups of elderly Caucasian tourists walking around town, one thing comes to mind.
