CNY holiday

It's a long holiday for most people. Decided on a spur of a moment for a picnic @ FRIM, Kepong. Had time to pack Aiman's clothes & prepare a light picnic lunch. Thank God the place was not that packed when we arrived. Found a nice parking spot and wallah .... here we are. The scenery was simply breathtaking! The lush greenery and the waterfall is absolutely astounding. There are also 'Taman Herba', Taman Etnobotani" and such. I know the 'doctor pokok' @ my office loves this kind of surroundings.



The water is so clear and cold. It was a bliss for us to be there during this hot weather. Even Aiman agrees "sejuknya...". And when he got into the water, he doesn't wanna go out. Happily enjoying a pack of chips in the water. He really enjoyed himself in the cold clear water.




In the end we had to coax him out of the water. Even then he still lagged about, said he wanted to go to the other side etc. Daddy had to follow him while I'm stuck with all the bags. In the end we had an icecream treat from daddy.



Then off to the small hanging bridge. I thought he's going to be scared on the bridge. But I was wrong... he ran from one end to the other amidst the swaying of the bridge.


We went back exhausted but satisfied with our little trip. I wish we could have more natural parks of this kind. It's especially important for the kids to enjoy & appreciate nature, not just the man-made parks which can be found literally almost anywhere.
Just my point of view ....

New Year 2009

Is it too late or what? Someone's have been bugging me to update this blog. Come to think of it the last time I blogged was in last year. Wau lama tuuu... Been quite busy with too many paperworks & classes. I've mentioned this before ... the hectic days are here.

Anyway wanted to add to Josh's title Thanks a lot UITM. This was taken on Monday 12 Jan. 2009. It was such a waste of time. I was stuck there like 20 minutes. This is @ the Seksyen 7 entrance.


Enough about the boring stuff. Wanted to share some pics of our family vacation in P.D. last year (not that long actually). On the day of our arrival, there seems to be a pasar malam there. And by night it was sooo congested, a massive traffic jam.

Went to the beach (what else is there?). The kids love the water esp. the boy in the green-orange outfit.






This was taken at the Blue Lagoon beach (Tasik Biru). A very nice & serene place. We set up a small tent for the kids but they are happy playing with the sand. Daddy joined Aiman in the water.

This was taken at Teluk Kemang. The 3 gangs went for a buggy ride. And upon finishing his round, Aiman wanted to go for another.





On the last day of our visit, we went to the Ostrich Farm. Indah khabar dari rupa is more like it. The ostrichs' feathers seems to be falling off their body. The place seems in need of a proper maintenance. The grass were long & the ostriches seem, well .... togel. My sis, the vet, inspecting some of the ostriches.

A miracle happened at the RAMD Museum. Kuatnya org ni, dia boleh angkat kapal terbang. Fuiyooo....



We stayed at a hotel which is famous among Malaysians. The food was very unsatisfactory. On the second day, the food was barely enough for the many guests. And its only 8.00 a.m. Most of the guests were left with the option of eating bread + kaya + butter. And to begin with they have only mee goreng & nasi lemak (which is too hot) in the menu. How come ahh... I think the management of Hotel S.M. should ponder into this matter. They should upgrade their service be it in the room service, checking in of guests, food etc. But not all S.M. hotels are like that. I've been to S.M. hotel in Kuantan twice. The service & food is good (they have a lot more choices for breakfast, including cereals for kids ... which S.M. Port Dickson don't provide).
