Image hosted by Photobucket.com A trip out of KL

My cousin from Ipoh is here now. Today, we went to Malaysia Agricultural Park at Shah Alam. The entrance fees are RM 3 for people age 12 and above, RM 2 for kids age 6 to 11 and RM 1 for senior citizen age 55 and above. You can either take a bus that stop at every point or go by your own number 11 bus or by renting a bicycle (RM 3 - first hour, RM 1 - per hour following). My mother who has short legs says she can't get on a bike, so all of us who loved to ride on a bike to visit the park need to follow her desition. What make us three more angry is that she says " next time when we come only we use bicycle lah~~~". WTH, your legs won't be longer anymore. You are 55 years old!

Okey, enough of my mother's thing.

The trip to the park was quite tiring. Need to climb some steap roads to reach the places we want to visit. The park looks like no one ever mind to care for it. Hanging bridges all can't be used anymore (you need to pay if you want to use it summore). Paddy in paddy field dying because lack of water. Walk way for walkers broken. Rest place full of dry leaves.

My mother's wish to visit the 'Four Season' dashed after we found out that the current plants planted in the green house are only plants that grow in summer because of the lack of fund. My mother says that it is useless to see them because Malaysia is a country that has summer all year. According to my mother, last time the green house has all four season’s plants at the same time. Pity our generation don’t have the chance to see that beautiful scene. We wasted energy as we walked for more than 45 minutes before we reach there. After that, we were too tired to continue our journey, so we when to the nearest bus stop to take a bus back to the entrance.

We then have our lunch at a restaurant that my father says has delicious Hoi Nan chicken rice. But I didn’t try it because my teeth were aching as a result of the separator stuffed between my teeth. So, my mother ordered a Gong Fu Chao for me and I only ate the noodles but not the chicken meat, squid and vegetable. They are all too hard for me.

After lunch, my father says he want to take us to Putrajaya and Cyberjaya. Nothing to say about it because we only saw a lot of buildings but a little people and the botanical garden in Putrajaya is a place just like the agricultural park. Just to mention, my father was the one who designed the so-called entrance building. This is the first time I saw a building designed by my father.
