Boy I thoroughly enjoyed this BBQ cum camping trip that we made on September 16. It was more than 15 years since my last camping adventure. Not only did it bring me close to nature but it also made me feel young again (ahem!). Plus it’s also the first camping experience for my children, J and K.

“My friend did not bring home his Math paper because he is scared that his dad will scold him for not doing well.” J told me.

“How badly did he score?” I asked. [Read more…]

KL Bird Park – An Outdoor Adventure

By

KL Bird ParkWe took the opportunity of the public holiday last Wednesday to visit KL Bird Park. Coming along were Teoh’s family and Tony’s family. I also invited my brother Eric to join us.

Altogether there were six adults, four children, and one baby.

The last time we went to KL Bird Park was some 2-3 years ago and we find the bird sanctuary is well maintained and it’s worth to make future visits. That’s why we made this second visit. [Read more…]
