Another Counter

After the wait at Air Asia yesterday, it was time for me to wait at the TM Point today. We were finalising the sale of the house in Taman Cemerlang, and we had problem disconnecting the Internet line. It went way back to 2013, and we were still being charged monthly since.

Anita went too sort it out six month back and was given assurances that the matter had been sorted out. But we were still getting monthly billing. It appeared to be one of those instances where one department not communicating with another and the customers were paying the price.

So, another report was instigated and there would be a other investigation into the matter. As usual, we were not able to sort the issue out there and then. Hopefully I do not have to take another day off just to sort this out ...

Ezyrolling at Titiwangsa

For Idlan's birthday, his Uncle bought him an Ezyroller. A tricycle minus a pedal. One actually propel it by turning the front wheel side to side. And even though it looked rather silly at the beginning, the roller actually worked. And yesterday, we bought another unit for Irfan, and if course helmets, knee and elbow guards. The next step would be to find a suitable ground. And off we went to Titiwangsa.

Boy, did they have fun. And everybody there were staring at the two of them. According to one of the roller blade instructor, he had never seen anything like this. The boys actually cycled around close to two hours before calling it a day.

Since the place was crowded on a Sunday afternoon, I had to walk with them to make sure that they did not run into crowds. It didn't take then long to get the hang of how the Ezyroller worked. Anita on the other hand sat on one of the benches enjoying the nice breeze. She was still recovering from her surgery.

So, for a first outing, the boys really loved the Ezyroller. And they were really easy to use and was great fun.

A walk in the Park

There was a slight in change in weather lately. Yes, it rained a lot less in KL. During the last weekend, we took the opportunity to stroll out in the park in one of the late afternoons. The weather was nice and breezy, but unfortunately we didn't have the CRV with us, so we can't fit the bicycles to take along.

The troops arrivingThe playgroundNone the less, it was great fun. Idlan and Irfan started going crazy at the playground, stopping for sips of water when they ran out of gas. Our maids did a good job in trying to keep up with them. Puan Anita had given up earlier on. She just sat there with some ice cream and pickles. I was busy snapping away with my camera. Decided to take my SLR instead, with only a single prime lens - my favourite 50mm f1.4.

Irfan shooting awayThe ammunitionAs far as public playground goes, this is the cleanest in central KL. However it get pretty crowded most morning with the joggers an cyclist. I prefer here to Tasik Perdana as it tended to be less crowded. Parking can be a pain at either site during busy weekends, but access going in and out of the park is definitely better at Tasik Perdana. There were also more things to see over there should you decided to give the children playground a miss. The butterfly and bird parks were just close by, so was the Orchird Gardens. 

Bubbles!Time to go home - Kemboja or frangipani, Puan Anita's favourite flower - after roses of course!We then sat for a picnic, while the two of them played with some bubbles. We bought one of those toy guns that blew away bubbles. It cost us RM5 each but they worked wonders. Much better than the much more expensive battery-operated ones. Spraying away, running around, They were too tired to catch a spot of sunset in the end. It was not too crowded either compared to the last time we visited it during the start of the school holidays.
