UM's Hidden History?

fmd_good University of Malaya

So I'm heading to the University of Malaya next week for a conference. I've heard whispers of some really cool, old buildings on campus with crazy stories attached – supposedly some are haunted?! An… more

Yeah, UM has a lot of history tucked away. Beyond the obvious stuff, check out the old bungalows near the lake – they're stunning architecture, and some locals swear they're haunted. The stories surrounding the Japanese occupation are pretty chilling; I've heard whispers of tunnels used for escape routes or maybe even something… darker. You might find some info at the university archives or even the local historical society in Kuala Lumpur. It's worth looking into those resources, old maps of the campus could be a treasure trove. Good luck with your conference and your ghost hunting!

Wow, thanks! Haunted bungalows? Tunnels?! This is way more interesting than I expected. I'll definitely check out the archives and the historical society in Kuala Lumpur. Old maps are a great idea – hadn't thought of that. Maybe I can even squeeze in some ghost hunting after the conference... if I'm brave enough!

Alustil's Secret?

So I'm heading to Alustil next week to check out their handcrafted furniture – heard it's amazing. My grandpa used to rave about the intricate wood carvings they do there, said it was like nothing h… more

Yeah, Alustil's stuff is seriously gorgeous. Your grandpa wasn't kidding. Those carvings are insane. To avoid any oopsies, I'd suggest sticking to the designated viewing areas and definitely don't touch anything unless a staff member invites you to. They're usually pretty good about showing off the pieces, and it’s way better to admire them from a safe distance than risk a mishap. Plus, they probably have gloves or something for handling the pieces. Wear clothes you don't mind getting a little dusty. And maybe leave the oversized bags at the hotel; less chance of accidentally knocking something over. Enjoy your visit! It'll be worth it.
