ReplyDeleteAnother malay words you need to know.. Palau means Island. Besar means big and kecil mean small. You should visit Palau Rendang or Palau Perhentian on the east coast if you have the chance. In Palau Rendang, there are so many tropical fishes at the beach that you are basically jumping into them. There are baby sharks (harmless reef sharks) there that you can feed them with watermelon. LOL!! You can snorkle too. Perhentian is nice but tends to gear towards scuba diving. If you wanna learn scuba diving.. you can get your PADI certification there.

If you need to chill out from all the tropical heat, you can go to Genting Highlands (near KL) or Cameron Highlands. Genting has a big casino and amusement park. Personally I prefer Cameron Highlands. There is a strawberry farm there as well but no sure if it is in season.
