Since we are so free staying at home, I thought why not plan a short one day trip to visit Kuala Selangor once MCO is lifted. I'm sure my family would love this trip because we can wander in this historical town in Selangor. One attention-grabbing fact is that the name Selangor itself was originated from the famous river here!

There are a number of historical attractions for you to explore in this town where many villages are still kept in their original state and has been maintained throughout the years. Kuala Selangor is now reputed as one of the must-visit Districts in the state of Selangor! The 1 day trip itinerary is listed below;

Daniel Arsham x Pokémon UT Collection @ UNIQLO

When it comes to casual wear, I will always choose UNIQLO. As the Japanese global apparel retailer, UNIQLO always collaborate with different artists and launch the UT Collection.

This May 2020, UNIQLO will launch the Daniel Arsham x Pokémon UT Collection in store. UTs (UNIQLO T-shirt) offer an array of authentic pop culture and art graphics from around the world that allow the wearer to express their individuality. Launching as part of the art collaboration project between Pokémon and Daniel Arsham, UT designs will feature Arsham’s drawings of quintessential Pokémon and its sculpture. The artist’s take on Pokémon presents a unique interpretation of the beloved Japanese game franchise.
Commenting on this collaboration collection, Arsham said, “With many of my projects, I try to make work that’s not just for art people and I think UNIQLO has a similar egalitarian culture. The reason I feature iconic characters in my work is that they are very recognizable, and, on the surface, they make it easy to enter my work. Pokémon has been a monumental presence ever since I was a child and I’m excited about the opportunity to present my work to a much wider audience.”

Blending fact and fiction

Since his partnership with Kim Jones at Dior, Arsham has become a spectacularly popular presence in art, fashion, street culture, and other areas. He employs a creative concept that he terms “Fictional Archeology” to imagine how familiar objects will look 1,000 years from today. For the art project with Pokémon, Arsham will present a sculptural collection titled “Relics of Kanto Through Time”, imagining Pokémon unearthed a thousand years into the future. This unique interpretation is reflected in the UT Collection as well.

Nando’s: Making a Difference One Chicken at a Time #ForMalaysiaKita

Nando’s has always believed that people come first and being an active member of the community is part of that belief. During this Covid-19 pandemic, Nando’s has so far donated over RM 50,000 to support front line workers and the vulnerable in local communities. Today, with heartfelt gratitude to front line workers, Nando’s will begin offering 40% discount to front line workers and continue putting meals on the table #ForMalaysiaKita.

Covid-19 has shone a spotlight on the real heroes of our community – the essential services including healthcare workers, police officers, auxiliary officers, F&B crews and delivery riders. Nando’s restaurant workers are its personal heroes. In appreciation for the selfless and tireless efforts made by front line workers to protect and serve the nation, Nando’s is providing a 40% discount for takeaway to front line workers from 15 April – 28 April 2020. To redeem, frontline heroes simply need to present their ID card or uniform at any operating Nando’s restaurant.
“In these unprecedented times, Nando’s is guided by our values and belief that we can change lives, one chicken at a time. I’m humbled by the thousands of Nandocas across our country who are living our values and contributing to the community through local charity partners. When the MCO was announced, our restaurant managers immediately rallied together to show their support and donated to police officers, hospitals and riders within their community. This inspired us to do more and to remind others that we’re in this together,” said Mac Chung Lynn, Group CEO Nando’s Malaysia. “We’re not just chicken, we’re family – that has been the core of the business and remains at the heart of what we do.”

一家四口花费低于一万马币!8天7夜澳洲柏斯亲子游 Part 8

这一天我们凌晨三点半搭提前跟酒店预定的的士去机场,一辆七人休旅车要价 AUD60。的士司机是移民华侨,所以我们交谈了一下。

原来他也有接待旅客到处去玩的,包括观赏鰭領航鲸鱼。话说2018年3月27号,我们在那里的时候有一群鲸鱼在西澳的 Hamelin Bay 集体自杀,大约150只鰭領航鯨搁浅死亡。我们知道后很伤心,希望下次重游西澳可以看到鰭領航鲸。 
总的来说,我喜欢温暖西澳的天气多过天气变化莫测的东澳洲。唯一可惜的是我在最后两天病倒了,没办法完全享受那两天的旅程。但是我的孩子们很喜欢那一次的旅行,至今还时常提起在那里的经历。我想,澳洲柏斯亲子游对我们来说真的是一个很好的经验吧。

一家四口花费低于一万马币!8天7夜澳洲柏斯亲子游 Part 7

这一天,我们决定前往还没参观完毕的国王公园和植物公园(King's Park & Botanical Garden),所以便去乘搭935号免费巴士。
