One of the most popular tourist attraction at Chin Swee Caves Temple is the educational Journey to Enlightenment that depicts the Ten Chambers of Hell.

A good soul would be sent for rebirth in the Heavenly Realm and an evil soul would be sent to one of the remaining nine chambers of Hell, each empowered to impose various degrees of punishment.

1st World Hotel Genting Highland

I haven't been up to Genting Highlands since 1998, the last time was with my parents and my dear when we are still dating. I can recalled we stay in two rooms, Theme Park Hotel where he and my dad same room, while my mom and I same room. But I don't know why we didn't go to Casino but we did go for the kids amusement park where we pay to play the games. I remembered winning some toys back home.

It's a flash back on the year 1998, this year we have plan to go Genting Highland. Recently I book a room using the winning letter that I won from Elmo Street roadshow at 1 Utama. Son was the one that spin the wheel, not sure if we'll get same prize if I am the one that spin it.
