A couple of hours down the journey, then my in-laws decided to have a stop at Tapah. They ended up having lunch, while we decided to have something lighter. And for the boys, it meant junk food!
Well stocked!Weather was sunny all the way, and there were hardly any traffic. Hopefully it continues to be smooth all the way to Kuala Kangsar. Another couple more hours I reckon.

Noticed the plural at the title. I'm blessed to have both set of parents still around, and for the weekend, that meant a couple of dinners. Friday, I took my Mum to Rebung in Bangsar. My Mum prefer Malay food. And earlier tonight - Saturday - we went to Corus Hotel. My Mum-in-law preferred Chinese food.
On both nights, we were caught in the rain. And the traffic was pretty bad as well.
The dinner at Rebung was nice, and the surprise was it was quite empty on the evening we went. As a result, the service was great. Food was pretty consistent as expected. Nothing special.
The dinner at Corus however was not that great. Not what I would call value for money. Luckily I wasn't the one picking up the tab. My brother-in-law did the honour.

We got our wish for an afternoon in the park today. Right after arriving home from my photowalk, we packed up and left for Taman Tasik Perdana. Getting there early was the ticket. It was just after 4 in the afternoon when we arrived at the car park.
It wasn't too hot when we roamed around. Equipped with the badminton racquets and basketball, we just ran around. We were soaked half an hour later, had a quick snack on the grass and continued on.
By half past five, we were already making our way back to the car as the cloud gathered, threatening to rain. Luckily it didn't and we continued on, this time at the playground.
After we were done, it was straight for dinner at KLCC.
Taman Tasik Perdana had some of the area upgraded and the place was a treasure in the middle of hustle and bustle of KL. As usual, many newlyweds were there, having their ceremonial wedding photographs taken.
The flowers were very well-maintained on the most part. The herb garden was reopened, and was well worth a visit. The whole place was clean and the grass were cut and looked after well. The lake was unfortunately still in a state. Plenty needed to be done there. Ironic wasn't it that the place was called there Lake Garden for the lake, and it was a site sight.
Parking could also be organised better. It wasn't made easy by the fact that there was only a single entry point if you drive in, and mazy cars were parked illegally. A pain if you were to arrive during peak hours. A separate entrance and exit would make a world of difference.
Some extra benches would also be great. Better still, a designated picnic area. They had a food court which was about to open. Great vision by the City Council.
One of the island there was undergoing some renewal work, but the part which were opened certainly looked great. Well manicured grass and all. visitbe frank, the Lake Garden area was a hidden gem. The butterfly and bird park were just around the corner if you plan for a whole day's outing. There was also the orchid garden not too far away. Well worth visit.

Idlan wanted to try some sports at school. He had started playing badminton, and a few of his friends wanted to play football and basketball later in the week. He was clearly into it and wanted me to get me a football.
So, off we went for a bit of shopping. He ended up getting himself the balls and a brand new sneakers. And the afternoon was topped off with a spot of hot chocolate at his favourite cafe. Unfortunately no practice for today as it was raining heavily by early evening.

It was a spontaneous decision. We decided to sleep over at the apartment last night as today would be a public holiday.
Traffic returning home last night was pretty bad and we got caught up again on the was out for dinner. Rather than returning home as it was already late, we went back to the apartment instead.
Idlan got to work with his Lego component straight away, and Irfan enjoyed a movie. I was already asleep in front of the TV soon after we reached the apartment.
I woke up at around 4, and caught the later stages of the Champions League semi-final between Athletico and Chelski. It would be the Madrid derby for the finals.
Back to bed, and again ready for the morning rounds .... Not a bad rest ...
