Desaru

After several months of conditional movement, we took the chance to go for domestic vacation. At last, we went to Desaru Coast in last January (before the lockdown). Basically, nothing spectacular there, just two good hotels and a water theme park. The nearby town toward the south, Pengerang, is a good place to explore though. We managed to buy some local biscuits from a traditional bakery shop there. Due to heavy rain, we didn’t manage to stroll the beach of Desaru. Maybe some other time.

Legoland and Universal Studio Singapore

It's year end school holiday again. Since we didn't have any overseas trip for 2018, we decided to venture to the south - Johor. Obviously the place of interest was Legoland since the kids were coming along. We also went to Universal Studio Singapore (USS) for a day trip, arranged by the resort we stayed. The kids like Legoland than USS because there's hands-on activities there (building Lego blocks). They also enjoyed the Ninjago ride. As for USS, we like USJ more. However, USS didn't disappoint as well. We like the Transformer ride and Jurassic adventure ride. Unfortunately, there's no Harry Potter theme there. The disappointment of the trip was the long queue at Woodlands checkpoint. I think the Singaporean government should do something about it. The queue was smooth at Malaysia checkpoint though.
