Tun Raja Uda Library, Shah Alam

Lego Mascot
Having Fun
Last minute school holidays activities took us to the library of Tun Raja Uda Perbadanan Perpustakaan Awam Selangor . We were kind of surprise that Lego is making its appearance here. There was Lego mascot, Lego competition and Lego play area. In order to get into the okay area, each child has to read 3 books and fill up the form, write a short synopsis of the book, its title and the aurtho name. I didn't feel like cheating, so I picked the easiest book and sat down to read. The kids enjoyed it!

By the time we finished the second book, it was close to 2pm. My son was feeling so cranky that he practically climbed over my head to stop me from reading and urged me to bring him to the car for a nap. After failing to get into the Lego playland, we came back again the next day to complete our mission! Great place to hang out without spending money, cold air conditioning, special activities of face painting, foot massage by the blind and many more. Only during school holidays though. I always love the library. 

The children area is located at the Ground Floor, the interior consist of a fake tree and a little slope surrounding the tree where children can run and roll around it. The shelves are low so as to make it easier for little hands to grab a book and read. The hard rules of keeping silent is not strictly impose, come on, how can you keep a children area quiet?

There is a stage where activities are conducted, and parents can relax on the sofas at the far back end of the hall (or perhaps, take a nap). Toilets are located inside the hall so there is no need to exit and enter again. Before entering, you are required to remove your shoes and put into a recycle bag provided at the entrance. Highly recommended place to go and spend the weekend with your family!

Cycling To Jenjarom



My first cycling trip with a bunch of cyclist to Jenjarom.
We started from Restoran BR Maju Kota Kemuning at around 7.15am. This group cycles every Sunday to Jenjarom.
We took the route to Rimbayu, then up a bridge that crosses SKVE (South Klang Valley Expressway), along village roads until the junction of Jalan Kampung Sri Cheeding. There is a tea plantation at this junction (BOH Tea Plantation). Turn right and ride for another 3km then turn right into Jalan Aman, then ride for about 2.8 km, turn left into Jalan Kampung Jenjarom. Ride on for 4.7km until you reach the main road of Jalan Banting, go across the traffic light and you will reach the Chinese eateries in this part of town.

Since it is my first time, not much to review about the food selection. I will update again after my second and third ride, on my discoveries of what Jenjarom has to offer as a weekend cycling stop.

There was a bit of a drama too towards the end, Eric broke his bike rim.
