Outing at the park

I had to work today and as hubby is in KK attending his Lions Club Convention, I sent Yiu Yiu to the babysitter for the most part of the day. We got home at about 5pm and I was thinking of a park to bring Yiu Yiu out for the evening, as the playground in our housing area would be crowded by kids from the low cost flat nearby (that’s another story altogether). I quickly made her dinner, which she promptly finished as I had told her we would go to the park after she finished her rice. As I strap her into the car seat, I decided to head to the Taman Tun Dr Ismail park. The park is popular with family with children, as well as joggers.

Adults and children alike enjoying the park

We’ve only been there once with Yiu Yiu when she was younger so she probably didn’t quite enjoy the park then. Today, she was so excited seeing the fishes and tortoises in the pond gobbling up the bread thrown into the pond. Then there were monkeys, and we saw few mother monkeys with their baby hanging onto the mummy’s stomach.

She was equally intrigued watching other kids catching those little fishes and prawns in the stream with nets, and promptly took off her slippers and walked into the clear stream too. She was enjoying herself thoroughly playing with water and sand, and promptly got herself wet.

We left at about 7.15pm as it was getting dark, and her royal highness gave instructions that she wanted to come to the park again.
