Our Weekend Activity@Titiwangsa Lake Garden

It has been quite a while since our last family picnic. Most of Eeanne's weekends were spent in shopping, bookstores or cinemas and seldom expose to the nature. As all of us are not the morning early bird type, morning picnic is really really rare and fingers countable, while evening garden activity is always come with excuses on either too hot weather or raining..:-(

Today finally we made it to Titiwangsa Lake Garden. Mommy's last visit to here was around 10 years ago and didn't realize the park has developed so much with plenty of recreational activities, it is indeed very nice place to spend a weekend for both adults and kids.

We reached around 8.30a.m. and the slight cloudy weather was just nice for us to spend up to almost 12 noon!

Mama, yeye, yi suk and sam suk's family arrived early at 8a.m. and got us a strategic fengshui location next to a bamboo shed with a magnificent lakeview.

Our picnic started....it was more like a grand feast rather than a simple picnic...:-) Everyone was too hungry and a cup of coffee was nice to wake all up....

My family....

Even though daddy mommy and Eeanne woke up early than usual today, think the outing fresh air and physical exercise really help to refresh our mind. None of us feel sleepy or need a nap today, we felt even more alert than our normal weekends...haha, we should have more this kind of family outing and daddy agrees to make it a weekly park outing..hooray!

Unexpected plan...

It was mommy's idea to go picnic on Hari Raya Haji public holiday (friday 27/11/09) at Shah Alam Taman Pertanian Cahaya. We invited mama, yeye, suk suk and sam sam's whole family. This will be our 2nd family picnic since the New Year picnic at Lake Garden (Lake Garden Picnic).

Without doing any survey on that place which is new to everyone, we eagerly prepared on the picnic stuffs and reached the park at early morning 8.30a.m. On the entrance, we read the notice:

"Dimaklumkan bahawa Taman Pertanian Cahaya akan dibuka pada pukul 11a.m. pada 27hb November 2009"

oh..oh...besides our group, there were so many others waiting at the entrance gate(this park usually open at 8.30a.m.). What a plan.....:-/

Ended up we found a place to have our prepared breakfast...Awefully that place has lots of mini "blood dracula", mommy became the main blood donor to these creatures of nature and Eeanne had contributed 3 spots too...:-( . Suk suk can't bear anymore and worry of denggi, he drove out to buy some insect repellents.

At the entrance of Shah Alam Tmn Pertanian Cahaya, the place we exposed ourselves to the risk of denggi

Immediately after the breakfast, we decided to change our plan and en-route to FRIM at Sg. Buluh...what a fun.....

Unexpected experience..., our car were stopped at the FRIM entrance and was requested to pay RM7 entrance fee without any receipt. Strangely 2 of our other family cars are not required to pay any single cents, seems like all know the entrance should be free!! Wah...what a daring guard. Of course daddy will not easily let go this kind of incident, after dropped us at the waterfall side, he drove back to get the justice. Guess what he got....daddy was given a invalid receipt and was told there is a notice mention on the entrace fee. Until today, we still don't understand how is the control on this entrance fee???

Finally reached FRIM










Anyhow no regret...even though is an unexpected plan, the outcome is even more unexpectedly joyful....;-)
