Semporna , Sabah | liewwk

a place we like to go but may not revisit …. but it is good to be there once 😀

*** Semporna just mainland but we need to get boat to outside Islands to capture the beautiful … every trip could range from 30min – 2hr ++ e.g. near Island Maiga, Sibuan .. etc

few words to describe this beautiful place blue, clear, hot, appreciate ….

Muar, Johor | liewwk

Muar, also known as Bandar Maharani is a town geopolitically situated in Muar District in the region or area of Muar in northwestern Johor, Malaysia. It is the main and biggest town of the bigger entity region or area of the same name, Muar which is sub-divided into the Muar district and the new Ledang district, which was upgraded into a full fledge district from the Tangkak sub-district earlier.[1] Muar district as the only district covering the whole area formerly borders Malacca in the northern part. Upon the upgrading of Ledang district, the Muar district now covers only the area south of Sungai Muar, whilst the northern area beyond the river is in within Ledang district. However, both divided administrative districts are still collectively and fondly called and referred to as the region or area of Muar as a whole by their residents and outsiders.

*** info from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muar_town

*** many food to enjoy

*** ~3hours drive from Kuala Lumpur

*** along Jawa Parit toward Batu Pahat many Sunset spots
