<strong>The</strong> Abu Garcia<br />
Fantasista<br />
Aurora<br />
Testing Grounds: Barramundi Pond, Jugra<br />
Series: Fantasista Aurora<br />
Model: FAS601ML<br />
Opponents: Barramundi
A bu Garcia has this series of rods that I love;<br />
the Fantasista series. Soon to come is the all new<br />
Fantasista Aurora. Fans of Abu Garcia will remember<br />
a reel called the Abu Garcia Revo Aurora, a<br />
beautiful reel designed by Abu Garcia’s Japanese<br />
product team years ago. Lovely.<br />
13
Combination Of Two Greats<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fantasista Aurora is a combination of both using<br />
the strength, lightweightness, sensitivity, and<br />
feel of the Fantasista rods, and the beautiful colours<br />
of the Revo Aurora reel. Combining both of<br />
them brings about a very beautiful rod that fishes<br />
really well; like a well designed exotic super car,<br />
the kind of car you go to when you get bored of the<br />
Ferrari.
15<br />
Well Balanced<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fantasista Aurora is a very well balanced rod.<br />
It is lightweight and goes well with light weight<br />
reels. I tested the rod with my favourite spinning<br />
reel, the Pflueger Patriarch. It was certainly a<br />
match made in heaven.
High Quality Components<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fantasista Aurora comes with high quality components<br />
by Fuji. It comes with the beautiful Fuji<br />
TVS reel seat that allowed for more feel and better<br />
sensitivity. <strong>The</strong> Fantasista Aurora uses Fuji’s new<br />
concept KR guides (Semi Micro Guides) of which<br />
provides for the added advantage of tangle free<br />
fishing.
^Fuji’s KR Concept Guide.<br />
17
Good Sensitivity<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fantasista Aurora is made using high quality<br />
graphite blank that is lightweight and provides for<br />
high levels of sensitivity. Combining it with the Fuji<br />
TVS reel seat adds for better sensitivity as it allows<br />
for more contact to the blank.
19<br />
Field Test<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fantasista Aurora cast exceptionally well.<br />
With a tip that has very low amounts of wobble<br />
during the cast, every cast is confident and accurate.<br />
Casting distance is also very good getting<br />
very good distances.
Fish Management<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fantasista Aurora manages the fights well too.<br />
We took our Medium Light (ML) action rod to do<br />
battle at the barramundi pond in Jugra, Selangor.<br />
We battled a few good sized ones weighing close<br />
to 2kg and it has enough backbone power to easily<br />
manage them. Definitely more than enough power<br />
needed for a swift victory.
21<br />
Summary<br />
<strong>The</strong> Abu Garcia Fantasista Aurora is definitely a<br />
rod I will definitely get for my fishing. It is lightweight,<br />
sensitive, cast well, fights well, and it<br />
looks darn good. No reason to not get one other<br />
than the issue has to do with a tiny bank account<br />
and shallow pockets.
Many good size fish were easily landed.

Test Drives <strong>The</strong> <strong>Asian</strong> <strong>Angler</strong><br />
Pflueger Supreme XT<br />
Pflueger has always been on the lighter side of<br />
things and the same thing can be seen with the Supreme<br />
XT of which Pflueger claims to be the lightest<br />
in its class. Its “light weightiness” is achieved<br />
with the use of a magnesium body and rotor, lightweight<br />
carbon fibre handle, and ported aluminium<br />
spool.
25<br />
Modest Design<br />
When it comes to design, the Supreme XT is modestly<br />
designed. Not too flashy and not too loud, this reel may<br />
not create a commotion but its subtle metallic candy orange<br />
linings on the gun metal coloured aluminium spool,<br />
and the sporty looking light weight handle holds hints of<br />
its character.
Casting Abilities<br />
<strong>The</strong> aluminium spool comes fitted with rubber which allows<br />
braided lines to hold on too and not slip. <strong>The</strong> Supreme<br />
XT is not a sleeper. With braided lines filled in it is<br />
ready to take on fights and the tough aluminium spool is<br />
not one to crack under pressure.
27<br />
Smooth Performance<br />
<strong>The</strong> Supreme XT is a smooth performer. It is smoother<br />
than some of the reels that carry a higher price tag. <strong>The</strong><br />
smoothness is unlike some of the more high end reels<br />
that feel almost vacuum like. <strong>The</strong>re is a hint of connectivity<br />
of the handle to the gears. Just a hint.
Ready For <strong>The</strong> Sea<br />
<strong>The</strong> Supreme XT comes ready to take on the finned creatures<br />
of the sea. It comes with 10 HPCR (High Performance<br />
Corrosion Resistant) bearings to resist the corrosive<br />
qualities of saltwater, and a sealed carbon fibre<br />
drag system that blocks out water, and provides for what<br />
Pflueger claims to be a 14lb max drag on this size 40 reel.
29<br />
Lab Test<br />
Line: Berkley Nanofil<br />
Poundage: 17lb<br />
Back at our lab we put the Supreme XT to the test. With a<br />
14lb max drag target we pushed up the drag and the torture<br />
begun. It easily touched 14lb and then it maxed out<br />
at 18.5lb; very impressive. <strong>The</strong> drag remained smooth<br />
with no sticky feel.
Field Test<br />
Line: Berkley Nanofil<br />
Poundage: 17lb<br />
To test the Supreme XT’s prowess in the real world<br />
we brought it to the Natural Exotic pond in Rawang,<br />
Selangor (<strong>Malaysia</strong>). We pitted it against the some<br />
of the hard fighting predators that lie in wait for a<br />
battle. We cast our baits near the pillars of the restaurant<br />
that sits on them.
31<br />
Good Control<br />
<strong>The</strong> Supreme XT had a few fights being able to manage<br />
the Amazonian red tail catfishes that took our<br />
bait. <strong>The</strong>re is enough drag to pull the fishes out of<br />
the danger zones. <strong>The</strong> drag is also smooth even on<br />
high drag. <strong>The</strong>re was no sign of stickiness from the<br />
drag even after a few fights.
Summary<br />
<strong>The</strong> Pflueger Supreme XT may be a modestly design<br />
reel but when it comes to fishing, it is by no means modest.<br />
It is smooth (both cranking and drag), it has a strong<br />
enough drag, and it fights well. One more thing I like to<br />
add is that it lays lines in the spool well too. So, here you<br />
go... a reel in a simple modest package.

Perseus<br />
Decoy Splitrings<br />
COASTAL GAME<br />
S plit rings are used all the time by anglers especially<br />
those that use lures, jigs, and spoons. Needless<br />
to say good quality split rings are essential<br />
as some brutes are powerful enough to open up<br />
split rings especially those of lesser quality. Needing<br />
good split rings for a jigging trip we decided to<br />
try out Decoy’s Medium Class split rings.
35<br />
Testing Grounds: Pekan<br />
Model: Medium Class 60lb<br />
Opponents: Diamond Trevally
Tough & Strong<br />
Decoy developed a tough stainless steel wire<br />
called “Hypower Stainless Steel” and this wire is<br />
darn tough. Opening the split ring requires more<br />
force as compared to the usual split rings of which<br />
is a good sign that the split ring will hold its ground<br />
even with higher pressure.
37<br />
Field Testing<br />
We chose the class #5 of which Decoy claims can<br />
handle pressure of up to 60lb; more than enough<br />
strength needed to battle the diamond trevallies<br />
(ebek) of Pekan, a coastal town situated at the<br />
east coast of Peninsular <strong>Malaysia</strong>.
Battling Brutes
Of course jigging is just an action used to entice<br />
a fish to take the metal jig. Nothing scary or worrying.<br />
It is when the fish takes the lure and heads<br />
to the bottom like a pile driver that one’s prays<br />
that nothing goes wrong and everything holds on<br />
and stays in tack. That includes the split rings.<br />
39
We were onto fish taking on hard fighting diamond<br />
trevallies that took our jigs and no matter<br />
how hard the battle, the split rings held on without<br />
opening. We did not lose any jigs or fish due<br />
to failure of the split rings.
41
Battling Brutes<br />
Having confidence in your fishing tackle is very<br />
important allowing you to battle with gusto. Knowing<br />
that everything from the reel, lines, rods, all<br />
the way down to the terminal tackle is in good<br />
condition and shape will certainly give one the<br />
confidence to battle well. <strong>The</strong> Decoy Split Rings<br />
certainly did well.

Decoy<br />
Plus Guard<br />
VJ-75<br />
Testing Grounds: Barramundi Pond, Jugra<br />
Series: Plus Guard<br />
Model: VJ-75<br />
Opponents: Barramundis
D ecoy Plus Guard VJ-75 jighead is a softbait anglers<br />
dream come true especially since it is weedless.<br />
It comes with a super sharp hook (I actually<br />
got hook accidentally not once, not twice, but three<br />
times) that easily latches on to skin (penetrates<br />
easily), finger nails, plastic spoons, wood, etc.<br />
57
Super Sharp<br />
> <strong>The</strong>se jigheads are really sharp.
59<br />
Saltwater Torture<br />
First we wanted to see how it will do in saltwater. We<br />
placed one in a container of saltwater for over 24<br />
hours. After over 24 hours we removed the jighead<br />
for inspection and found no rust. We ran it through a<br />
plastic spoon and it caught on confirming that it still<br />
remains sharp.
Still sharp after over 24 hours.
61<br />
Field Test<br />
To test the Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 jighead we took<br />
some lighter action tackle (since the jighead is for<br />
finesse fishing) and headed to some barramundi<br />
ponds. Since these ponds are known to have specimens<br />
from about 700 grams to about 2kg, I think the<br />
Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 can handle them.
Good Fit<br />
I decided to use my old trusty Abu Garcia Revo<br />
Premier reel with the new Abu Garcia Bass Beat<br />
II rod rated light; for this test. For bait I used my<br />
all time favourite Berkley Powerbait 1 inch grub.<br />
For test I used the Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 size<br />
3 weighing 2.5 grams that fits the grub well.
63<br />
Hook Strength<br />
We hit a lot of fish and the hook penetrated the fish’s<br />
lips easily. We lost quite a few fishes too as they managed<br />
to throw the hook. Increasing the drag pressure<br />
helped improve the landing rate. We also lost a few<br />
good size fishes due to the hook opening up. We had<br />
to turn the fish away from the water wheel and the<br />
added pressure caused the hook to open.
65<br />
Verdict<br />
<strong>The</strong> Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 jighead does what it is<br />
designed to do well. It is super sharp penetrating the<br />
fishes lips easily. It is weedless of which is great especially<br />
when fishing for fishes that hideout in weedy<br />
areas. Step past its limits and it opens up of which<br />
is good and bad. Bad because you lose a fish. Good<br />
because it is easy to pull free when snagged. Bend<br />
the hook back in shape and continue fishing.

I don’t know about you but<br />
new toys always get me excited<br />
and I am excited right<br />
now. I am excited because<br />
I’ve seen things; lovely and<br />
delightful things. I have seen<br />
the new Revo reels by Abu<br />
Garcia that will be launched<br />
in 2018. Here are some information<br />
about them.
REVO4 X<br />
Let us start with the REVO4 X; the darkest reel amongst<br />
the lot. This is certainly Batman’s reel should he be an<br />
angler. Don’t get me wrong; the REVO4 X is a good<br />
looking reel. It looks dark and sporty. It comes with 8<br />
bearings and it feels lightweight. It certainly is a smooth<br />
operator turning smoothly. <strong>The</strong> REVO4 X is certainly<br />
one fine reel although it stands as the entry level<br />
REVO4 model.

REVO4 S<br />
<strong>The</strong> REVO4 S comes with magnetic brakes called the<br />
MagTrax brake system that helps anglers fine tune<br />
their casting to the baits that they are using. <strong>The</strong>y come<br />
with 8 ball bearings for smoother operations. But what<br />
I like is the “Gull Wing” sideplate that allows for fast<br />
and easy access into the braking system.
81
I have not used the reel but having a play with it, the<br />
reel feels smooth and lightweight. It sits in my palms<br />
snugly as with all the other REVO4 models. It comes in<br />
black and white like a Storm Trooper from Star Wars.

REVO4 SX<br />
<strong>The</strong> REVO4 SX reel was the only one I tested. Casting<br />
it is easy as it comes with both; a centrifugal braking<br />
system and a magnetic braking system. I even taught<br />
someone who has not used a baitcaster to cast using<br />
the REVO4 SX and he was casting within 10 minutes<br />
or so (after a few tries).
89
<strong>The</strong> REVO4 SX operates smoothly allowing for smooth<br />
easy casts and retrieve. I felt like a bully fishing this<br />
pond bullying fishes here with drag power that is said<br />
to be the most powerful in its class. Enjoyed fishing<br />
this reel.

REVO4 STX
<strong>The</strong> REVO4 STX reel is one other smooth operator. It<br />
comes with 11 bearings providing it with smooth operations.<br />
It comes with the “flying arm” type centrifugal<br />
braking system called the Infinitely Variable Centrifugal<br />
Brake (IVCB-6L) with 6 arms. This is a proven system<br />
that makes casting easier with good distance.<br />
99
<strong>The</strong> first reel I used with the IVCB braking system was<br />
the Abu Garcia Revo MGX and it cast really well earning<br />
it a place amongst my most like reels. That was<br />
then the IVCB-4 with only 4 arms. This has 6. I am certainly<br />
wanting to try this out.

REVO4 PREMIER
111<br />
When it comes to REVO reels the<br />
first one that I owned was the REVO<br />
Premier (first generation). That was<br />
my favourite reel many years ago.<br />
It was lighweight and it cast so very<br />
well. It was my constant companion<br />
everywhere I travelled to, to fish.<br />
This new PREMIER certainly brings<br />
up the warm fuzzies.<br />
<strong>The</strong> REVO4 PREMIER is lightweight<br />
and it feels refined and looks elegant<br />
with a dash of sportiness. It is a<br />
black reel with gold trimming giving<br />
it that touch of elegance. It comes<br />
with a bent carbon fibre handle giving<br />
it that sporty look. It operates<br />
well with smoothness and perhaps<br />
grace.
FEATURES<br />
10 stainless steel HPCR® bearings + 1 roller bearing<br />
provides increased corrosion protection<br />
X2-Cräftic alloy frame for increased corrosion resistance<br />
C6 carbon sideplates provide significant weight reduction<br />
without sacrificing strength and durability<br />
Power stack Carbon Matrix Drag System provides<br />
extreme drag pressures combined with unparalled<br />
smoothness
113<br />
D2 Gear Design provides a more efficient gear system<br />
while improving gear durability<br />
Everslik coated pinion shaft and pawl creates a diamond<br />
like coating which improves wear resistance while<br />
reducing friction<br />
DuraClutch design provides improved engagement<br />
and durability<br />
IVCB-6L (Infinitely Variable Centrifugal Brake) braking<br />
system delivers precise external adjustments for a<br />
wide variety of baits while 6 internal locking modules<br />
allow anglers to easily fine tune and maximize casting<br />
distance<br />
Gull Wing sideplate design allows for quick and easy<br />
access to braking systems and the spool<br />
Infini IITM spool design for extended castability and extreme<br />
loads<br />
Compact bent carbon handle provides a more ergonomic<br />
design that is extremely lightweight<br />
Flat EVA knobs provide greater comfort and durability<br />
Ti coated line guide reduces friction and improves durability<br />

REVO4 INSHORE
119<br />
REVO4 INSHORE is one of the reels<br />
made for saltwater fishing. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
are a few other saltwater reels but<br />
perhaps will only be made known<br />
later when the folks at Abu Garcia<br />
are ready to. <strong>The</strong> INSHORE is one<br />
of the proven saltwater low profile<br />
baitcasting reels with good casting<br />
abilities and fish fighting power.<br />
That said, it is not a brute of a reel<br />
nor does it look like one. It is a refined<br />
saltwater player that operates<br />
smoothly; something like racing<br />
a sedan such as a Tesla Model S<br />
P90D against a Porsche 911 Turbo.<br />
<strong>The</strong> P90D is a lot faster off the start<br />
but the 911 Turbo finishes first.<br />
<strong>The</strong> INSHORE is like the P90D being<br />
fast and more refined but lesser<br />
in power thus providing with longer<br />
fun battles where as the 911 Turbo<br />
(REVO WINCH for example) being<br />
the brute; is slower off the start but<br />
finishes faster with brute power.

REVO4 WINCH
125<br />
Now we come to brute force; the<br />
REVO4 WINCH. <strong>The</strong> WINCH have<br />
been a staple powerhouse in Abu<br />
Garcia’s REVO range. This low ratio<br />
powerhouse of a reel is made to<br />
battle the tough fighting brutes of the<br />
sea. I have landed numerous sailfish<br />
on earlier generation brutes with no<br />
issues.<br />
This new WINCH feels rigid and tough.<br />
It certainly is a sturdy reel built tough<br />
to handle hard fighting fishes. With<br />
the longer handle and larger knob;<br />
the WINCH certainly carries on the<br />
heritage of earlier generation REVO<br />
WINCH.
FEATURES<br />
8 stainless steel ball bearings + 1 roller bearing provides<br />
smooth operation<br />

is ideal for crankbaits and other high resistance lures<br />

Resorts<br />
Escapy<br />
Cyberjaya<br />
People take vacations for various reasons<br />
but most do so to relax and let one’s hair down;<br />
forgetting about work and other work related<br />
responsibilities, and to rejuvenate one’s soul.<br />
It is when one’s mind is relaxed and when one<br />
finds that inner peace that one’s mind is free<br />
to imagine and think at a higher less cluttered<br />
level.

Recently my family and I visited the Cyberview Resort<br />
& Spa in Cyberjaya, the Silicon Valley of <strong>Malaysia</strong>. Despite<br />
being in the hub of technological start-ups and<br />
businesses, the resort sits in a quiet place surrounded<br />
by nature. It felt like we were holidaying far from<br />
civilization.<br />
Pic: <strong>The</strong> Bistro Cascata Italian Restaurant.
A Relaxing Holiday<br />
133
Fragrance Of Flowers<br />
Walking into the lobby one is mesmerized by the fragrance<br />
of flowers (jasmines); a soothing aroma that<br />
relaxes. It brought about a feeling of calmness as I<br />
sat for awhile at one of the sofas with my eyes closed<br />
enjoying the sound of the water fountain while I waited<br />
for my wife and kid. Soothing and relaxing indeed.<br />
Pic: <strong>The</strong> lobby.
135
137<br />
Well Designed<br />
Room<br />
After checking in we drove to our<br />
room; a Superior Chalet. <strong>The</strong> room<br />
has a contemporary modern plus retro<br />
look and is well designed. It comes<br />
with a walk-around wardrobe that is<br />
uniquely placed slightly off middle of<br />
the room acting as a divider between<br />
the beds and the vanity area.<br />
Pic: <strong>The</strong> wardrobe and vanity area.
139<br />
<strong>The</strong> bathroom comes with an<br />
egg shaped bath tub made of<br />
ceramic with a faucet that looks<br />
more like part of a water feature<br />
instead of just a tap, bamboo ladder<br />
designed tower rack, glassed<br />
shower area with rain shower,<br />
and a wall with holes that allows<br />
light from the sun to come in. Of<br />
course these holes are blocked<br />
by something that does not allow<br />
any voyeur a peek inside.<br />
Pic: A lovely bathtub.
Pic: I went retro too with my trusted<br />
old Iphone 3GS that has since<br />
taken on life as an Ipod. This room<br />
comes with an Ipod / Iphone dock<br />
(old adapter head).<br />

143<br />
Comfortable &<br />
Delightful<br />
Our room came with a king size<br />
bed and a single bed. If you like<br />
softer beds, you’ve found heaven.<br />
<strong>The</strong> beds are soft and comfortable.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y feel plush; like<br />
sleeping on a huge teddy bear.<br />
<strong>The</strong> pillows I believe are filled<br />
with goose downs giving one the<br />
ability to adjust it to one’s liking.<br />
If you do not know how that is<br />
done; try getting the feathers to<br />
one side of the pillow and giving<br />
the flat area of the pillow a few<br />
folds. Now you have a harder pillow<br />
with a higher setting.
That night, with the air-conditioning simulating the<br />
temperatures in the highlands during the rain, I slept<br />
very well on the comfortable and plush huge “teddy<br />
bear,” with my head resting snugly on the comfortable<br />
pillow. I woke up well rested.<br />

Delicious Food<br />
We had our meals at the Verandah<br />
Restaurant a Pan-<strong>Asian</strong> restaurant<br />
& Xing Zhu, a restaurant that serves<br />
Chinese cuisine. <strong>The</strong>re are other<br />
outlets like the Bistro Cascata that<br />
serves Italian cuisine, and Karma Bar<br />
& Lounge but we did not dine there.<br />
Perhaps on a future trip.
149<br />
Verandah<br />
Restaurant<br />
<strong>The</strong> Verandah Restaurant serves a<br />
mixture of local, <strong>Asian</strong>, and Western<br />
cuisines. <strong>The</strong>re are lots of food<br />
here that I like but these are the few<br />
that I love most. I loved the streaky<br />
beef bacon and had them for breakfast<br />
every day during our stay. It was<br />
cooked really well remaining juicy<br />
and not too salty. It goes really well<br />
with scrambled eggs.
<strong>The</strong> cold dish; fresh prawns and mussels<br />
served on ice, is yummy. Fresh<br />
crunchy prawns and mussels eaten<br />
without seasoning gives one the natural<br />
flavours of their meat. This can<br />
only be served with fresh seafood<br />
and Verandah has it. Lovely.<br />
151
Japanese cuisine is another thing that I like. Unfortunately<br />
I have been told by my doctor to stay off whites<br />
(rice included) due to health reasons. But I could not<br />
resist sushi rolls. Instead of devouring lots of them, I<br />
decided to devour “not so lots” of them.<br />
153
Pic: Lots of delicious desserts.<br />
155
157<br />
<strong>The</strong>y have lots of other foods too including<br />
the very delicious beef stew<br />
with tender beef cuts, ayam masak<br />
merah (spicy chilli chicken) that is really<br />
tasty, ikan bakar (grilled fish) with<br />
tasty chilli paste, Indian food such<br />
as roti canai, noodles with soup, etc.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are also lots of delightful desserts<br />
like chocolate cakes with macaroons,<br />
yummy cream puff, etc.<br />
I ended every meal with fruit ‘rojak’ a<br />
fruit dish in a sauce made of prawn<br />
paste mixed with chilli and sugar.<br />
Not everyone will agree to the taste<br />
of ‘rojak’ sauce as it is quite pungent.<br />
But those who do will be floating on<br />
cloud nine here at the Verandah Restaurant.<br />
Pic: I love rojak.
Dim Sum And More Dim
159<br />
Sum<br />
Another type of food that I love<br />
is dim sum. We had dim sum<br />
buffet at the Xing Zhu Restaurant.<br />
I have eaten ‘halal’ dim<br />
sum at many places but these<br />
here certainly beats them all.<br />
Xing Zhu serves the best ‘halal’<br />
dim sum (to me). <strong>The</strong> meat<br />
is juicy and tasty with its flavours<br />
well wrapped up within.<br />
Pic: <strong>The</strong> Xing Zhu Chinese Restaurant.
While all of them are delicious<br />
my favourite is the ‘siew<br />
mai’ or ‘shumai.’ <strong>The</strong>y are juicy<br />
and tasty. <strong>The</strong> texture of the<br />
chopped meat is tender and<br />
nice. Mushrooms that are part<br />
of the mix gives them additional<br />
flavours creating a lovely ball<br />
with flavours that explodes in<br />
one’s mouth. Oh, so delightful.<br />
161
163<br />
Another very delicious dim sum<br />
dish is the steamed chicken<br />
wings. <strong>The</strong> wings are marinated<br />
and steamed in some secret<br />
tasty sauce until they are<br />
soft and moist. <strong>The</strong>y taste so<br />
very good that I ordered lots of<br />
them.<br />
Pic: Delicious ‘shumai.‘
Fun In <strong>The</strong> Sun
165<br />
Cyberview Resort & Spa has a very lovely swimming<br />
pool that flows down two levels into a wading pool.<br />
This is one of the hot spots for those who like swimming<br />
and splashing in water. I do too but I needed<br />
to stay away from the sun as my skin was still raw<br />
from a bad sunburn sustained during a fishing trip<br />
two days earlier.<br />
Pic: <strong>The</strong> lovely swimming pool.
Other activities that one can participate in include<br />
fishing at the resorts fishing pond, cycling about with<br />
the ‘O-bikes’ that can be rented via a mobile app, or<br />
just simply taking a stroll with a camera around the<br />
resort’s gardens.<br />
Pic: Fishing at the resort’s pond. Lots of tilapias here.
167
Fun Away From <strong>The</strong> Sun
169<br />
If like me, you need to be away from the sun; there<br />
are games that one can play such as board games,<br />
traditional games like congkak, and for the more macho;<br />
working out one’s muscles at the gym.<br />
Pic: Beautifully carved congkak board.
Sembunyi Spa
171<br />
With relaxation being high on the offering, the Sembunyi<br />
Spa is a must visit. We did that and had an amazing<br />
relaxing time. <strong>The</strong> area is cosy and inviting, giving<br />
it a true spa environment. <strong>The</strong> fragrance of essential<br />
oils fill the air as one enters the room for one’s treatment.<br />
Pic: Flower bath.
Pic: A lovely pool at the Sembunyi Spa.<br />
173
175<br />
Remember earlier I wrote about decluttering the<br />
mind; my mind when into a “Zen” state and felt like<br />
I was floating on air. Relaxing in the Jacuzzi for a few<br />
hours and wading amongst the bubbles in the warm<br />
water was so refreshing. I returned to my room and<br />
my thoughts were clearer being somewhat stress<br />
free.<br />
Pic: <strong>The</strong> lovely jacuzzi at the Sembunyi Spa.
Saying Goodbye
177<br />
All good things must come to an end and I felt that my<br />
stay here was too short but I have other trips planned.<br />
I will certainly be back again for another holiday and<br />
bring along some of my foodie friends to savour the<br />
delicious food here, especially the delightful dim sum.<br />

Other Information<br />
Cyberview Resort & Spa was built for the purpose of<br />
hosting the APEC Summit back in 1998. <strong>The</strong> resort has<br />
a few luxurious and lovely suites that were designed<br />
to house heads of states that stayed there during the<br />
summit.<br />
I visited some of these suites and I recommend them<br />
to those who want to be pampered like royalties. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
come with quality wooden furnishing, plush 4 poster<br />
beds, a Jacuzzi in the bathroom with 360 degree view<br />
of the garden outside, and more.<br />

Oakley Gascan<br />
Inspired by the street glory of speed machines, Oakley®<br />
design language did a complete 180 in 2005. We traded<br />
soft curves for straight edges and hard lines to sculpt our<br />
very first high-wrap lifestyle shades. <strong>The</strong> toric lens design<br />
became known as Gascan® and it spawned an aesthetic<br />
so new and original, we customized our corporate logo for<br />
the frame.<br />
FEATURES<br />
Plutonite® Lenses offer top UV Protection filtering 100% of<br />
all UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light up to 400nm<br />
Three-Point Fit holds lenses in precise optical alignment<br />
while eliminating pressure points common with frames that<br />
hook the ears<br />
O-Matter stress-resistant frame material is both lightweight<br />
and durable for all-day comfort and protection<br />
