Dataran Merdeka

The above images are of a dragon team which were taken during a recent visit to Dataran Merdeka on the night of May18,2008. Noted there was a rehearsal ongoing for the next day MSC-related event. As the front stage was closed to public then, the crowd lingered at the right side to watch. I chosed to go further in (left side) to see the participants lining to get onto the stage.

Vesak Day 2008

I have visited the Buddhist temple in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur few days prior to Vesak 2008. Vesak is an annual holiday observed by practicing Buddhists. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesak).

I think most outdoor preparations were completed then. Made some prayers and did lingered for awhile. The images above are oil lamps for offerings

Taman Tun Park

This was taken from one of my favorite spot in the park at Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur. It is shady in the morning and the occasional breeze is so enjoyable. There were occasions where I have the chance to smell the freshly trimmed grass in wet mornings.

Usually it is packed with visitors of all ages at weekends and public holidays. Visitors helped themselves to their favorite hobbies such as running along the sloping tracks, dancing to aerobic tunes, relax strolling, fan dancing, skating etc..

There is one cable bridge for all to enjoy the swinging sensation with the sound of water gushing under it. They are various tree species in the park for one to enjoy their characteristics. Example, there are lots of rubber trees beyond the fence at one side. Most of these adult trees are tapped for their latex.

Whenever I prefer less noise and crowd, then weekday visit is just right for me. Ample parking and spots for me to enjoy my visit.
