lake gardens 2

due to the many events in may 09, i have yet to blog regularly and record the events...

sometime back end of april 09, we took the children to the lake gardens again, this time to the playground which was more for older children. nadia nasira ran to the playground and went on exploration with her daddy while mummy took care of the little fellow. we, then, took a tram-ride around the lake and realised how big the lake garden was.

notice how nadia nasira walks.... hand folded behind like her great grand ma seithoon and ummatha

we stopped a while at the national monument before heading home. when i was young, probably 10 years old, i first saw the national monument at the front cover of the history textbook at school. i had always looked at the pictures of the monument in awe and was trilled to see it for real.

depicting the national warriors...one of the photographs that i am proud to have taken...

daddy encouraged nadia nasira to pose for the camera and this is the first time she was in style!!!

the tired and sleepy lot...

while we managed to capture some decent photographs above, the real story was that from the entrance, we were approached a tourist who wanted to photograph my children. and from thereon till we left, we, as a family and the children separately, had to pose for the tourist of different nationality. i was so terrified that i wanted to snatch away my son from them who kept passing my son from one another. being softhearted and polite malaysians, i was very obliging to the tourist who were so happy and excited about meeting us. finally, i told my husband that we better leave, it was getting out of hand and i was losing my temper. so, we left!
