Verves In Composition

Part of the experience of living is the experience itself. Speaking of experiences in Malaysia, I would strongly encourage the idea of living in an area where you are transported to dreams by the lullabies sung my throating crickets and falling leaves; and waking up to filtered sunlight cocktailed with the scent of green.

Nestled amongst the state of Selangor’s secondary rainforests, is the eco-tourism spot of “Sekeping Serendah” literally translated to ‘a piece of Serendah’ which is less than an hour’s drive from the city.

I just had to pick this place for the Company’s weekend retreat. My friends who have their own testimonials about this place will never let me off the hook if I didn’t secure this.

I absolutely love the glass sheds here. Contradictory from the lack of visual privacy, I partially enjoy the vista of no walls. Quite a treat for those with a voyeuristic fetish as well.

The glass shed is a simple construction of wood, glass and zinc sheets equipped with cooking utensils, a microwave, some basic furniture and is incredibly airy and cool. BBQ pit right on your front door too.

My glass shed had a hammock! Whee!

A narrow banister-free wooden stairs takes you up to a cozy bed room with a view of green to die for.

Yes. Most of the bedding materials are from Ikea. The mattress is placed on a huge wired mesh (which I keep hammering my toes into by accident and it hurts!) but surprisingly comfortable

Oh, yes. EVERYONE wants to know what the toilets are like. No worries. HEATED WATER…in the open air. Happy will you be to have not only water streaming down your head but leaves and small twigs going ‘Geronimo’. I swear you may get a tiny shock or two with a brief impression that a lizard has just lost it’s grip and drops by to say hi in your comfort zone.

Fart in the toilet and maybe hear an echo or two amplified through the vibrations of the zinc walls.

Then again. How could you pass this out? The night is teeming with life and parts of the retreat bathes in the soft yellow glow of spotlights.

A piece of heaven, right here on earth .

It’s been a month since I’ve come back from my heavenly trip to Bali. Finally! Time to upload the photos that I have been practicing with my Lumix DMC-FZ7! I am SOOOO GOING TO VISIT BALI AGAIN!

I recalled how much I do miss the enjoyment of watching costumed men and women take fictional characters in to the taste and enjoyment of a meal.  Until….’Pure Serendipidity’ is how I would put a tag for stumbling upon this restaurant.

Ashley and I were spending a little sister time together when ‘Wizard’s World’ neon lights and quirkyly dressed staff tempted us to come over. It’s impossible to miss this place on the 6th floor with it’s bright Disney like fonts beaming invitingly to go ahead for a go.

Vampires, serial killers and Gorillas helped us with the seating and as you get lead to your dungeon medeival styled tables, there is a main an actual 4D Haunted Adventure theatre at the back of the restaurant, Old lamps, a wall filled to the brim with Ghoulish masks, a ceiling that looks like it’s caught chicken pox and I absolutely loved the bubbling chemical jars.

And the menu leaves you spoilt for choice. They’ve got Pizzas named after Star signs so you can go according to Horoscopes if you’re feeling superstitious. Cocktail juices with spell binding names. Everything is just so dramatic!

I opted for a glass called ‘Gorgeous Spell’ A fusion of strawberry and something else which tasted like a tropical punch, and a ‘Carbonara Labryinth’ Ash decided to be less adventurous with a Hot Chocolate and a Turkey Pineapple Cheese Toastie

I must admit that I was afraid that being a food glutton that I was, I’d find myself too picky for the possibility of ‘what if it doesn’t taste good?’ BUT THE FOOD is surprisingly PRETTY GOOD. We did lick our platters clean.

AND WHILE YOU EAT THERE IS ENTERTAINMENT PROVIDED! THE CAPTAIN CAME TO OUR TABLE AND PERFORMED MAGIC TRICKS FOR US AS WE WAITED FOR OUR FOOD AND BEFORE WE FINISHED OFF OUR FOOD! I’d give the service a big thumbs up too!For a place that has only been open for two weeks! Both Ash and I agreed, the meal really made our day. Now that is good, fun dining.
