Grammys day and undecided mind

9am.

Watched 55th Grammy Awards Live. I love Justin Timberlake's performance. Its been a long time since i last saw him doing live, but man, he still got the groove.

11am

Have been craving for lava cake since last week. Mom surprised me at 11:30am wen she came over my house bringing 2 small lava cakes.

Rupanya dia baked sendiri da cakes. It was the bomb.

12pm

Plan 1

Kononnya nak bawak anak2 semua jalan2 naik lrt and bas.

Kononnya nak jenjalan tanpa menggunakan ongkos yang banyak.

Kononnya nak berjimat la, dlm ertikata lain. Cheapskate

So we went out naik car, drove to KL Sentral. Cadangnya nak parking kat Sentral and took LRT to KLCC and then take ride on the free bus, GoKL.

Masuk je parking KL Sentral, I saw the parking fees. 1st hour RM4. Subsequent hour RM4. We were all so surprised. Tanjat mak tau.

Buat calculation, koman2 kitorang akan park kereta 4-5 hours. Korang kira la sendiri berapa.

Parking je dah membazir. Belum lagi fees naik train. So we decided to get out of the parking. (Calculation tu sumer happened masa mencarik parking yang banyak empty space tapi tak nak parking gak sebab rasa macam tak berbaloi je).

I drove carik exit, ingatkan boleh dapat FREE PASSING THROUGH ler. Masuk tiket, dia muntah balik. Masuk tiket, muntah balik. Asu DOL pun dengan confident nya kata, maybe kena masuk gak dlm autopay.

EKKK…. Memang kena masukkan dalam autopay, lagi memang KENA BAYAR RM4 untuk lalu parking itu aje ya! Tsk tsk tsk. Patut la KL SENTRAL parking banyak empty space.

12:45pm

Change of plans number 1!

Let’s call this plan 2. The plan is to drive to Sungei Wang Plaza, park the car, and take the free ride on GoKL bus. Maknanya takde ride on train lah kan.

From Sentral to Sungei Wang, the road was clear. Al-maklum lah still coti raya cina. Sampai depan Bukit Bintang ada sikit jam la. Itupun sebab banyak kereta bangang tak tau arah tujuan.

Bila sangkut dalam jam cenggitu, tengok kiri kanan, ramainya manusia. Yang bestnya, ramai sungguh ‘ALIEN’. Ada alien hitam, putih, cekelat. Tapi paling banyak ‘ALIEN HITAM’.

Tak boleh ku bayangkan kalau aku naik bas FREE nanti, penuh ngan orang2 bangla itew… Mesti bau kopam kan….

TAK SANGGUP MAK. Mami ku pun kata tak sanggup. Memikirkan keselamatan anak2 dan keselamatan diri (takut kena raba or gesel or yang sewaktu dengannya), kitorang tukar plan lagi.

1pm

Gua terus memandu menghala ke Bukit Cerakah Shah Alam. Yang bestnya, jalan Federal Highway smooth giler.

15 minutes dah sampai kat Toll Batu Tiga. Since da last time aku pegi Bukit Cerakah was in 1993, we rely on signboards to the place la kan. Ok senang je, signboard terang-terangan tulis TAMAN PERTANIAN BUKIT CAHAYA SERI ALAM. Follow je la kan. Passed Section 11, Section 9. Tiba 1 signboard tu, dia tulis TAMAN BOTANI NEGARA, SHAH ALAM (TBNSA).

Lucky me, im a Malaysian. I’m from KL. Kalau la orang dari Penang, or Kerteh nk pergi Bukit Cerakah, yang mana rely sepenuhnya on signboards, memang dia akan pusing Shah Alam je la. Sebab kalau ikut signboard, sign ke Taman Pertanian Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam terhenti sampai kt Section 9 tu je.

OK…. Takpe, Taman Pertanian or Taman Botani or Bukit Cahaya or Bukit Cerakah, semua adalah SAMA. Nama je bertukar-tukar. NOW IT IS OFFICIALLY KNOWN AS TAMAN BOTANI NEGARA SHAH ALAM.

We reached at 2pm. Ramai orang gak. Ada charges for entrance fee. Murah je. Adult RM3. Children RM1. Wargaemas (mami) RM1. OKU (acap), Free.

Beli tiket untuk masuk Rumah 4-Musim (Winter), Adult RM5, Children RM3.

Before we enter, kat sebelah kaunter tiket tu ada restoran. Jual nasik campur. We makan 1st before masuk. The food was delicious.

2:30pm

We masuk. Beratur tunggu bas. Pasal ramai orang, kitorang kena tunggu 3 round of buses to come. 

Bus berenti 2 stop. 1st stop is at Taman Haiwan/Kolam Renang.

Last stop, rumah 4 musim.

Kena menapak sikit je, masuk rumah Winter, suhu -2°c. Just nice.  

Dapat la hembus2 mulut kuar asap kepuk kepuk. Tapi camera ku tak dapat nak capture da asap dowh.

Lepas kuar from the winter house, kitorang melilau2 sikit under the hot sun, then took the bus ride back to the main entrance again. Ingatkan nak stop jenjalan kat Taman Haiwan, tapi pasal it’s an unplanned trip, dengan dressing yang salah, dengan start berpeluh2, dengan kasut yang bukan untuk berjalan2 dalam hutan, we wanted to go home aje.

menapak ke rumah winter

3:30pm

Bye-bye TBNSA.

Yup, we were there for 1 hour je. Like I said, we didn’t plan to go there. Pakai dressing nak jalan dalam mall. Ko bayangkan la….

5:30pm

Swimming time

9:30pm

Laila muntah2. She muntah 2 kali. And cirit 1 kali.

Put her to bed, luckily it was nothing. Maybe penat berjalan kot.

Budak tak pernah jalan dalam hutan…. Asyik main ipad je.
