My family just have a one day trip to Lost World of Tambun, located at the outskirt of Ipoh, Perak. It is an adventure theme park built and operated by Sunway Group, which I would describe it to be wilder, larger, and closer to the natural than the famous Sunway Lagoon in Selangor.
If you want to visit to Lost World of Tambun, I would advise you to spend a full day there, because the theme park is really big in area with many places to visit and have fun with. This means you have to reach there around 10am, or else you might not have enough time to visit all the attractions inside.
The entrance fee is RM48 for adult and RM41 for child. You can get a cheaper rate if you buy the ticket online from their website at http://www.sunwaylostworldoftambun.com/.
You will first reach a souvenir stall after entering from the entrance. Then, the water park is in front of you. I would advise you to have fun in the water park as your last schedule, otherwise you might be too tired to visit the rest of the park. In addition, the sun is not too hot at evening time.
There is an amusement park beside the water park, which you can take free ride on Giddy Galleon, Dragon Flight, Perak Parade, Storm Rider, roller coaster, etc.
There is a petting zoo with small animals and lots of snakes. Take the Rainforest Trail to have closer contact with the animals.
There are some small animal feeding shows between 12pm and 3.30pm here.
There is also a swan lake with swans and koi fishes. You can feed the swans and fishes there. You can also ride the water bicycle, which the fee is not inclusive in your entrance ticket (need to pay separately).
Outside food and drink is not permitted to be brought into the theme park. They actually check for your items when you enter. Food and beverage is available at the stalls and food court near the amusement park. The price is not cheap though.
Don't forget to watch the tiger feeding show at Tiger Valley at 3pm. The show is not just about tiger. Before the tiger show, you can see the performance of some other animals and birds as well.
Some other attractions include:
The Tin Valley, with a gallery which you can see an ancient monochrome CRT TV that is still working well.
Kepura Caves
And something erected...
The Lost World Hot Springs & Spa is opened at night, which needs a separate entrance ticket. We haven't visited this yet, probably will be in our next visit to the Lost World of Tambun.
Information, knowledge, tips and tricks sharing that might be beneficial or useful to you.

Watching movie in TGV Beanie Hall (Beanieplex)
This is my first experience watching movie in Beanie Hall of Tanjong Golden Village (TGV) cinema.
Beanie Hall is relatively small compared with normal Cineplex of TGV, with limited number of couple seats. It makes a difference from normal cinema halls with its beanbag seats which are spacious, relaxing, comfortable, and really make you feel at home.
This kind of premium seat also comes with a premium price, much higher than ordinary seat and even the twin seat. The ticket above cost me RM45 (RM44 for the ticket, plus RM1 for online booking). After all, it is a good experience for my family.

Inauspicious dates to avoid for wedding/marriage in 2014
I have posted the list of auspicious dates for wedding/marriage in 2014 quite some times ago, and here is the reverse, namely the inauspicious dates to avoid for wedding/marriage in 2014. The list below is produced based on the Chinese almanac Tong Shu. (Click the image to enlarge)
If you are concerned, then you should probably avoid getting married on the listed days above.
Bear in mind that although the Tong Shu is a compilation of Chinese astrology and calendaring studies gathering wisdom of thousands of years, we should use it wisely and rationally, but not be too superstitious on it.
