Hunted Place In Malaysia

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 09:55 PM PDT

Hunted Place In Malaysia | Want to give yourself a good scare this Halloween? Or just an intrepid ghost hunter? Well, if you're sure you're up to it, we've got 5 seriously haunted places in Malaysia you have to check out.

From the bomoh@witch Mona Fandey's house to the infamous Karak Highway, these are places you need to be to see and hear the unexplainable and inexplicable.

 

1. Aeroplane Bungalow (Mona Fendy's house), Behind Leisure Point, Cheras

 

For those who don't know, Mona Fandey was a popular bomoh back in the 90′s, and reportedly used black arts to help many politicians achieve power. She was executed in 2001 for murdering politician Mazlan Idris in 1993 while conducting a ceremony to invest him with power. It's reported that Mona, along with her husband, had Mazlan lie down while they conducted a ceremony, before dismembering and partially skinning Mazlan. At her execution, she claimed "I will never die," and her house is supposedly haunted due to the black arts she practices there.

2. Villa Nabila, Johor Bahru

 

Situated on a hillside facing Johor's popular Danga Bay, Villa Nabila is prime property, which may lend credence to the stories that it's haunted, as a prime property house like that isn't commonly abandoned. Apparently the family home to a rich family, the house was robbed and the occupants killed, leading to it's current haunting at the hands of the restless souls within. Some intrepid ghost hunters have reportedly gotten 'lost' in the villa, only to escape at dawn, and no sooner.

3. Lady Templer Hospital, Cheras

 

Apparently haunted by a ghost of an old lady, the Cheras Policlinic (as it's also known) may be inhospitable for the intrepid ghost hunter- some eyewitnessaccounts place the ghost as unwelcoming to 'cari pasal' ghosthunters.

4. St. Michael's Institution, Ipoh

 

A school built in 1912 by Catholic missionaries, St. Michael's Institution was used as a base for the Japanese in WWII, and was also reported a torture chamber. Till this day, it's said a monk can be seen praying in the fourth floor chapel, headless. Yeah, seriously.

5. Karak Highway


The Karak Highway is home to numerous freak accidents and paranormal activity, with drivers reporting the invisible presence of 'another person' with them, whether it be a car or motorcycle. Beyond that, there's an urban legend of a yellow Volkswagen that may chase you on the highway- carrying a ghostly passenger.

Inflight Meal Tips

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 05:20 PM PDT

Inflight Meal Tips – If you are taking a flight to go travel, meal time on board is one of the moment you must be waiting for! Some inflight meal are very delicious but most of all, they are cooked with full supervision of hygiene and strict production process flow. So now you are being asked about which food would you prefer to eat, what are the tips you can use when making a considerations?


1. When flying an airline, always order the their native meal

Is it because they're better at what they know? Or that rice is harder to get wrong than mashed potatoes and pasta? Well, maybe it is because they are better at what they know, and hey, what is wrong to try their delicacies? You might found your new favourite food.

2. Order a special meal

If you are looking for something more nutritionally balanced, contact your airline about their special meals. Cathay, for instance, has 19 different special meals, ranging from halal, kosher and Jain meals to ones created for those with lactose or wheat intolerance.

3. Buy food at the airport

Sandwiches and salads tend to be easier to transport, though Asian standards such as baozi also stand up to the journey. Many cafés now offer fresh fruit as healthy snacks, though be sure to eat these before you disembark, especially in countries with strict food importation laws like Australia and the U.S. (A Japanese fast-food joint in Narita sells edamame to go—perfect for midflight munchies.) One thing to be mindful of: while tastier, food bought in airport restaurants can be as calorific as in-flight meals. A chicken sandwich recently spotted in the Wolfgang Puck Express Café at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport contained a whopping 720 calories.

4. Pack your own

If you're flying long-haul and you're particular about food, this is the best option. Just avoid anything overly fragrant, lest you raise your neighbors' ire. Some suggestions: A crusty baguette with a selection of charcuterie, including a hunk of a hardy cheese such as parmigiano reggiano; a pasta salad with semi-roasted tomatoes, olives and goat cheese; or cold sesame noodles with julienned cucumber.
