GOING UP TOWER 188 IN KUANTAN WITH FRIENDS

   26TH JANUARY 2026    ~ After the hefty brunch at Puan Aunillah's house [READ HERE], it was time to get active and walk a bit. We then adjourned to Menara 188, the iconic Tower of Kuantan.

This was my second time here. The first time was 2 years ago, when I went to explore the city on my own [READ HERE].

 

Puan Hanna Sheikh Mokhtar and her daughter were the two brave souls who went on the extreme activity of Sky Walk around the Sky Deck.

The rest of us, other than enjoying the aerial view of Kuantan high up in the sky, were there to give moral support and cheer the mother-daughter pair.

There were many people when we were there, even though it was Monday evening. Make sure you visit Tower 188 when you are in Kuantan, to prove that you are a real tourist at heart.

EXPLORING THE CITY OF VENICE ONE AFTERNOON - PART ONE

   20th OCTOBER 2024    ~ There was no specific itinerary of where to go or what to do in Venice except to explore the city on feet, through its old and narrow pathways.

It was drizzling lightly at that time and there was no sunshine present. Hence, all the photos turned out to be greyish too. They would look much more breathtaking under the bright blue sky.

After walking for a short while, We came back to the place we first arrived after getting out of the boat.

We then reached this one huge square with a high red bricks tower on one side of it.

I later learned that the name of this place is Piazza San Marco and the tower is a bell tower. One exciting thing that happened was to watch a live musical performance of a band playing classical music.

We then continued our exploration of Venice on foot.
