New Reality TV Show

Based from new that I got from SCI FI Channel, they are coming out with new reality show, "Destination Truth" . It is is a weekly adventure series that invites viewers along on one man's search for the truth while investigating stories of the unexplained across the globe.

Every week, Josh Gates, a world adventurer and eager truth-seeker and his small crew of production buddies visits a different destination around the world that is home to notorious, supernatural and mysterious stories, such as the Fire Worm of Mongolia and the Chilean Chupacabra. As well as some lesser-known phenomena like the dinosaur-like creatures reported in the skies over Papua, New Guinea, a haunted village in Thailand, pontianak in Malaysia, or the wolfman of Argentina. Josh searches for evidence to either prove or debunk these stories by talking to witnesses and experts and immersing himself in the local culture.

"This is as reality as it can be. Malaysia has a lot of these stories from pontianak to toyol. Some you can still find it here. The national Museum has once exhibited evidence or stories about supernatural. Currently, central market and museum negeri sembilan at seremban are exhibiting the same stuffs. This is a good way of introducing Malaysia to the rest of the world."

BASE Jumping off Kuala Lumpur Tower

It has been 5 days since my last posting. I was actually not in the country. I went to Shanghai, China for company trip. I just came back last night. I am not feeling well, I got food allergy and is recovering right.

I plan to write on my experience to Shanghai comparing Kuala Lumpur and Shanghai based on my perspective. I'm compiling my information and picture right now. Make sure you come back to read on my review soon.

Before that, I found this video on BASE jumping at Kuala Lumpur Tower. It is really good. It shows a bunch of guys jumped from the top of the tower, with nice view of skyscraper of Kuala Lumpur as the background. Enjoy!

Tune Hotel is now open

*This is not a sponsored post*

After a slight delay (approximately 10 days), Tune Hotel is now officially open today. It is a new concept hotel which offers 5-star bed, power showers, 24-hour security and convenience facilities in the center of Kuala Lumpur at the price from MYR10 only. The founder of this hotel is Datuk Tony Fernandes who started AirAsia. I hope the service is not always delay like the airline.

It is called 'no-frills' hotel. They will provide you with the basic as what i mentioned just now and the rest you have to pay if you use it. For example, they provide you with fan for free but if you would like to use the air-cond, they will charge you MYR5 for 5 hours or MYR10 for 12 hours. This also applies to towel ranging from MYR10 to MYR15, toiletries; shampoo & 2 soaps for MYR2, and a set of breakfast (a hot cup of aromatic white coffee with a slice of delicious kaya toast) for MYR3.

The location of this hotel is superb. It is near to public transport like LRT, bus stop and taxi stand. Top tourist attractions like KLCC, Asian Heritage row, KL tower and bintang walk are minutes away.

This hotel truly understand the travelers' need. The facilities is designed to cater for travelers like lonely planet. They have 24-hour convenience store, kopitiam for good Malaysian foods, 24-hour free internet connection (you can even bring your own laptop) and ATM & Bureau De Change for withdrawal or change your cash.

Most of all, you can book your room online 24-7. Truly a new concept with travelers' need in mind. Check this spanking red & white hotel today.

"My opinion: This is brilliant idea, hotel provides the basic at 5-star service and you pay more if you need better comfort. With that price, it is a value for money."

"p/s: Tony is now venturing concurrently into Tune Money "no-frills" financial products such as unit trust and insurance. Looks like Tony is following the footstep of Richard Branson, Virgin owner."
