Eve of Bubba's Birthday

Weekend outings for the family, plus a lunch treat for our beloved 'bubba'.  :)

Another tour around the city..

Our neighbour is having a pre-wedding dinner party outdoor, and I guess it's part of the chinese celebration to  party all night long with karaoke session and mahjong and such, so we decided to make way and try to seek some 'peace' (not that we are against it but karaoke in the middle of the night out in the open..err?? gimme me a break!) Anyway, we headed for city centre just to catch the glimpse of sparkle, the night ambience and such and we end up at Kampung Bharu, a village right in the middle of Kuala Lumpur city centre. It is no longer a pure traditional village like it used to, since it has overly develop in such a rugged manner where certain quarters simply have ignored the originality and go for commercialism. However, if you care to take a walk around you could still find at nooks of it,  there are some old cottage which has been beautifully furbish to maintain its originality to withstand the modernisation, mind you KLCC Twin Towers is just a glance away and it seems like the pair are looking down at this village!

Eventhough Kuala Lumpur at night was so bright with colorful neons and LED lights and and street lights and   the dancing light that shine on the buildings or on the walkways, but I DO miss the twinkling light of the stars which has been overcome by the artificial bright light of the city! Either I'm getting old or am seriously romantic..haha!!

Missing the evening sirrus

The Klang Valley skyline for these couple of days has been covered with smokey haze which has been reported as the source of Indonesian open-burning! Therefore a slight screening of the sirrus this evening makes me realize, how much I missed the clear blue sky and the lovely evening sirrus!

Blurry haze

Blurry image of Telekom Tower seen from Pantai Expressway at 1pm today. The stuffy haze has again envelope our country creating a very uncomfortable surrounding, not to mention the effected quality of air that we breathing in!! At this juncture, there's no better way to end it rather than praying hard for the rain to fall and wash it away!

A secret nooks of Tugu Negara

I never had the slightest idea that there is an eatery place right behind Tugu Negara area, as all I was aware that  Tugu Negara has been the only place situated at that particular nooks of Kuala Lumpur. This place serves a good yummilicious variations of local dishes as well as the organic chicken popularly known to local as 'ayam kampung' (literally translate to be country chicken ;))

If you are early, you could get a seat facing the Bukit Aman or Tugu Negara gardens down below, but if you came during the peak hours, you'll be lucky to get a place to seat!

Enjoy!!
