Al-Khwarizmi Astronomy Complex

Al-Khawarizmi Astronomy Complex is one of the facilities that are provided by Melaka State Government in order to study and to explore the growth and the mystery of the universe. Melaka Mufti Department has been honored to realizing the State Government’s ambition.
There were three main buildings in the Complex, which are the observatory, the Planetarium and the Training Centre.

In the expansion of Al-Khawarizmi Astronomy Complex, our community has the opportunity to study and appreciate astronomy deeper. Apart from that, we hope that today’s generation has the potency to bring the glory of astronomy in today’s world.

I keep passing by the complex every time me and family fetching my sister in law. She studying in UNITI College at Kuala Sungai Baru (Port Dickson). But I didn't manage to get there. Hope I can make it someday.



Probably there should be more promotion and exposure from the government to commercialize this astronomy complex.

My 2 cents, it will give more exposure and intention to schoolkids about astronomy and perhaps will line up in their ambition lists. I believe many people out there have no clues about the real world of astronomy.

If you want to check on the operation time schedule and ticket price, please go to the official website.

Klebang Beach kites attraction

Sometimes I drove my family to Klebang Beach to enjoy evening scenery. My boys really excited with the beach, especially when they see horses.

The best part, you can have cendol while watching the kites player / seller selling kites. Enjoy the photos from my lens.

Hotel Fort Lauderdale Beach

I love beach and every time I passing by beaches, I normally I will stop for a while to enjoy the view. Sometimes, I will stay longer and spend overnight if the beach is fascinating.

South Florida is having one of the amazing beaches on my lists. South Beach, also nicknamed SoBe, is a neighbourhood in the city of Miami Beach, Florida, United States.

I was planning for a trip with my family to stay at Fort Lauderdale beach hotel. We want to enjoy the beaches there and I try forget headache of my hectic life . Besides the nice recreation at the beaches, South Florida has major entertainment destination with hundreds of nightclubs, restaurants, boutiques and hotels.

I will let my wife enjoy any kind of joy and pleasure she wanted while we are at the Fort Lauderdale beach hotel. I will make sure this family vacation will be one of the best in our records.

Why I really adore staying in the hotel? you should read this quote, taken from the web;

Welcome to the Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel, Florida, your personal oceanfront haven. We’re directly on one of South Florida’s most exquisite beaches. In fact, our lovely location maximizes your oceanfront vacation possibilities: Witness an unforgettable ocean sunrise, which will dazzle you with the Florida sky’s famous pinks and golds. Enjoy a refreshing cold drink while relaxing by our infinity pool, which blends into the ocean. Or, savor a hot Starbucks coffee and fresh baked pastries at our Link@Sheraton facility. Sunbathe, or, if you’re feeling energetic, take a beachfront jog.

Watch the cruise ships sail by as seagulls fly over you. Take a spin on jet skis, or kayak, sail, scuba dive or snorkel. Build sandcastles. Play a round of golf at an area course. Spend sunset snaring mahi-mahi or a red snapper while on a deep-sea expedition. Above all, treat yourself to a dip in the warmest waters in North America, and to body surfing or bobbing among the gentle waves.

I'm sure after you read those statement, you will definitely admire to stay in the hotel. I already started try on online bookings for Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel. Hopefully I can get special bargain for early bird reservation.
