Kids wanted so much to go back to Bukit Merah Laketown Resort which we have gone more than 3 years back. We finally relented as i managed to find a cheap accomodation at Suria Apartment. It was clean and very nice actually.. They had really BIG pools and the apartment were like hotel style.
We took a cruise to the other side of the island to see the Orang Utans habitat.. there they're trying to nurture and help preserve the orang utans from diminishing.. and they can all respond to their named that were given. Amazingly, these orang utans have birth certs too.. :)) u have to check them out, the baby orang utans sleep in baby courts, and wear pampers, they are bottlefed and even have soft toys! We do not totally agree with humans toiling with nature and making them into an entertainment centre but then again, if they don't, will orang utans be another animal that will be extinct from this world, we never know.
The kids and us really had so much fun in the water park as we played most of the craziest and scariest slides ever.. they had one slide that was U shaped... and all of us wanted to chicken out at the top.. but were literally pushed down.... before we changed our mind.. he he.. there was one balloon ball full of water.. and the kids taught us how to jump and jump and slide down... gosh, we actually forgot ourselves and played like kids.. perhaps us adults take things and work so seriously that we forgot our main essense of life i.e. to play!

Being with the children, taught us that.. just being there... and play from morning to night...
We went fishing too... but sob sob... not even a fish caught! so upsetting when the girls beside us kept catching so many fishes! hard luck.
There is also bike riding for rent, and we cycled by the lake.. which was pretty refreshing.. at night, you can cruise again to the other side for the night feeding to the animals.. The animal show was nice too.. My favourite was the chair lift ride.. It brings you across the water park and your legs are dangling in the air.. so watch out if you are wearing sandals / slippers... it may just land on someone's head.. :))
The food here are not so nice though.. unless in the hotel itself. Don't bother trying outside.. we thought we could save on the money... but we had to wait so bloody long for the food and never mind, the 101 flies all around you. We were also cut throat by one restaurant that was supposedly a home stay.. we thought it looked good but were tricked!
We felt so cheated... next time, be careful if you do go there.. Make sure you call for one person menu.. then you won't go wrong.. ~ Gina
