this has become our favourite spot every morning (almost) every weekend since we moved back about a month plus ago to bandar tasik puteri in rawang. when we left the township about 5 years ago, the hill was just ... a hill with no name, staircase, pathway, etc. but with lots of trees, bushes and lots and lots of lalang! now it is called puteri central park (bunyi macam kat noo yawk pulak).
there is also a playground within the compound. we decided to walk up the hill first before letting the kids do their stuff at the playground. after weeks and weeks of downpour, today we are blessed with bright blue sky where the sun shines brilliantly.
above is the top view of bandar tasik puteri from the hilltop. it's a booming township with (i think) more than 10,000 ppl. almost everything is here. 2 primary and 1 secondary schools, police station, post office, shops, restaurants, stalls, kindergartens, mosque and suraus, clinics, convenience store, workshops, soon-to-be-opened public library, fishing pond EXCEPT a bank and petrol station. for that we have to go to bandar country homes.
the ONLY let down here is the access road from the north-south highway. still have to exit rawang toll plaza and take the sg bakap - batu arang trunk road. it can be quite a hassle especially when travelling during peak period. other than that, no complain EXCEPT don't even think of moving here if you've not done so ... the jam is already bad enough! at least until they widen up the road or create another new access road ...
after spending few minutes stretching muscles climbing the stairs and breathing morning's fresh air, we went down the pathway around the hill. nice simple work out to chill down with the family after a week hard at work! it's a simple thing in life that we sometime take for granted. being with nature is naturally a bliss ...
the real 'puteri' at the park. on monday qesya will attend her pre-schooling trial class. opening up another new chapter in her life ...
the brother ... boy at this age really cannot put up a straight face when having their pictures taken. always with a pose! walking up and around the hill as we're trying to manage his kg. from now on fast food will only be once a month. most of the time, we the parent are the guilty party here!
at the playground. an unidentified boy just came and approached qesya and started to play together. hmmm ... very suspicious! in time, this will normally be every father's nightmare! hope i'll live long enough to see my kids all grown up and begin yet another chapter of their life ...
the big brother we're counting on to look after the lil sister. haris ... 'the protector'. we're trying to manage our expectations here. we'll prepare the kids with the best that we can give. our motto now is - "kalau bertanam padi, lalang pasti akan tumbuh juga tapi kalau bertanam lalang, gerenti padi tak akan tumbuh!"
so, there goes another morning. no fancy frills but was very well-spent. got a neighbour's wedding to attend to. and after that we're off to buy schooling stuffs for haris. alhamdulillah. end.
