Botanic Garden @ Putrajaya

Actually Malaysia has a lot of wonderful gardens like another countries . Being a tropical country , Malaysia is full of greens . And this is my first time exploring one of the wonderful and biggest botanic garden which is situated at Putrajaya . To be specified , it is located on the northern section of precinct 1 . It has been designed as an arcadia for Malaysian living collection of plant taxonomy as well as a centre for education and research . Its offer a lot of facilities and services such as bicycle rides , camping , wedding grounds and many others , you can explore further by web through their homepage .

During my visit ,( in the morning) , you can see families spend time together , jogging , cycling and camping . There was also people putting up tents , foods , table and chairs , I believe for the wedding ceremony to be held over there . According to my in law , there are also a cruise plus meals offered at the nearby lake and it is advisable to cruise at night since it is more beautiful with night colors . Most of our time during that day , strolling around by the lake , enjoy the freshness of the morning breeze and learned the scienctific name of the trees .Apart from that you can observed a lot of government offices and prime minister official acomodation . Actually Putrajaya is the brainchild of our former great prime minister , Tun Mahathir .

Spend our time for almost 1.5 hours , will come back and would try the cruise by night one day !!!

Camp Super Aulad at Janda Baik

During last school holiday , I signed up 2 of my kids to attend camp super Aulad for 3D2N at Janda Baik which was organised by Telaga Biru Training . By attending this camp I hope they can be more motivated , confident , kindness and self respect to each other and finally upgrade their ibadah volunteerily .

Since our place is quite far from Janda Baik , we travel one day earlier and spend a night at 4 star , Cherangin Hill Resort . The resort is located on the top of the hill and have very nice view especially during the sun rise . The county site view is very great and full of greens with a mountain as background plus nice cold weather . We really love the place . It has a large swimming pool which is the main attraction for this resort . There are a lot of resort at Janda Baik from no star to 4 star and they have their own natural attraction , most of them located near the river stream which is the main attraction in Janda Baik . For meals , we have our dinner and breakfast at the resort restaurant . The food is nice and the price is reasonable . One thing for improvement , the resort should improve the hospitality of their staff and train on how to charge their customer . Pay attention on the restaurant bill , the girl will charged service/tax fee in which I complained , the foods supposed to be tax free .... they apologize and refund it .

The Super Aulad camp was held at different resort . I forgot its name . And it is also a nice place and situated near the river stream . There are in total around 50 nos of participants from the age of 11 to 17 years old . The facilitators are very kind and friendly . They welcome the participants with the warmth open hands and make the kids comfortable and feel like at home . BTW actually we already meet the facilitators one day before the program while we having our lunch and they did recognised us ! This make my kids be more and more comfortable . We left the kids with a good advice to take care of them self during the course . Soon after that , we proceed to KL for our another agenda and will comeback and fetch them again next 2 days .

After 2 days . we went back to Janda Baik to fetch the kids . By the way , during their camp going on , the facilitators always update their activities with text and pictures thru whatsapp . Thanks for the effort , actually this is great ideas since we can follow up the programs like a "live telecast" ...... As parents , my wife and I feel very proud because my daughter been chosen as the best " Puteri " ie the most outstanding girl participates in the program . Congratulation to you , my dear !

At the camp site , we have a chance to know other participants , their parents and the facilitators . The time had come and now its time to say good bye to them . Nice to know you all and one day hope we will meet again . As for the kids , they really enjoyed the camp .... make a new friends . To my opinion , this camp organised by Telaga Biru Training @ Janda Baik is one of the best program and highly recommended to the parents in order to upgrade the kids to be more confident , instill the islamic culture and to be the best top form to face this challenging world .
