Mid Autumn Festival in a Magical Forest
What a truly a beautiful night at The Arc, Bandar Rimbayu by IJM Land situated in Kota Kemuning. We finally get to celebrate Mid Autumn Festival there having missed it when we were back in Kuching.

Most importantly, there was a lake where the Lover’s Bridge is situated. We had our…
