When we enter into stranger’s house in Malaysia

/

From the Christmas of 2018 onward, I’ve been familiar with this house ever since I married my Malaysian wife and relocated to Malaysia at the end of 2017. Every Christmas, we make it a tradition to visit this house, enjoying the festive decorations that bring a smile to our faces at zero cost – lol, sounds funny but it’s a fact. In 2022, when my video featuring this house went viral in Malaysia, the owner, Mr. Roland, reached out to me via the website link I shared in the video. Touched by the happiness it brought to my 4-year-old boy, he extended an invitation. Although I couldn’t make it last year, I’m determined to go this year, bringing along a cake. The Christmas decorations are undeniably beautiful, creating a positive festive atmosphere. What surprised me, however, was the interior of the house, reminiscent of a European Christmas setting. During our visit, we shared laughter, stories, and had a great time connecting with Mr. Roland and his family. Beyond the charming decorations seen in the video, I discovered something even more beautiful – their pure hearts and strong ethics. There’s much more to discuss on our show, and perhaps in the future, I’ll have the opportunity to have a conversation with them. As we left the house, both of us were filled with a genuine sense of Christmas spirit. We often describe beautiful things as Christmas, and witnessing the Christmas house adds an extra layer of joy. Inspired by this experience, I’ve made a couple of decisions: 1. Next Christmas, I plan to visit with our son, Apple Boy, on the carol day. I’ll capture a video if they’re open to it, or else I’ll share the experience through my boring story telling😉. 2. Motivated by the positive impact of the Christmas house, I’ve decided to create a Christmas-themed house in Kerala. Much like Mr. Roland drew inspiration from his ex-driver’s Diwali decorations, I aim to spread positivity to others through festive lights and decorations.

Escape to Paradise: Exploring the Beauty of Resort World Langkawi

/

Picture: The breath taking view of resort. Arun Mathew with my apple boy. Resorts World Langkawi is a standard-quality accommodation option in Langkawi. One important consideration is choosing between a sea view or a standard room in advance, as they come with different rates. Breakfast is included, which may seem expensive, but it’s preferable as there aren’t many good nearby options. The highlight of this resort is its breathtaking view and ambiance. Take a look at it in 60 seconds. 📌The infinity pool offers a breathtaking view, seemingly connecting to the sea and mountains. 📌A small children’s play area is an added bonus for family tourists. 📌The property area is spacious, so guests won’t feel congested. 📌The only downside is the weekend surcharge. Here are some beautiful pictures I captured during my weekend visit with my family. Updating soon…

Langkawi Flight Travel – Things to know

/

If you are visiting Malaysia and you are a nature or water or natural scenery lover, I would say you must visit Langkawi. In my coming vlogs you can see details of each place one by one. Here I would like to take you through some quick and super useful guidance for your trip to Langkawi.   How to reach..? Basically two options available for you to travel to Langkawi and that is flight and by ferry. Ferry I won’t suggest to family or people who are not interested to spend much time on traveling as you need to travel around 7 hours in bus (400 KMS) to reach the ferry service. And traveling in ferry might give you nausea feeling as it’s shaking. So better book flight in advance which you can get at rate of 1400-2000 INR onwards (15$+). MD Note The Point 📌In order to travel to Langkawi you need to book the same flight which you booked from your country to Malaysia. Example: if you are traveling from India in Airasia, book the same to Langkawi too to avoid changing airport. Catch the same airport.
