An awesome family gathering organised by my sister in law at MAEPS recently . She booked the area for 1 day with the fee of RM300 . Total of 5 families get together during the occasion .

.............................................................
About MAEPS :

MAEPS was established by the Ministry of Agriculture to serve as a centre for agro-based events and activities. It is host to MAHA, as well as more industry-focused events and activities developed to promote the agriculture industry to the Malaysian public. The exhibition park resides on a 130 hectares land belonging to the Malaysian Research and Development Institute (MARDI). As one of the largest exhibition park and showground, MAEPS is the driving force behind the success of the agricultural industry in Malaysia. The Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-based Industry has successfully positioned agriculture as a profitable industry with its motto "Agriculture is business."

MAEPS was developed to serve these objectives:

Permanent place for MAHA (Malaysia Agriculture, Horticulture and Agro Tourism)
Promotion of MOA program
Showcasing the Agricultural Industry
Contribution to the Tourism and MICE Industry

................................................................

Among the activities :
1. BBQ - chicken , lamb
2. lunch - Nasi Arab , cookies and fruits
3. taking bath at the small waterfall.
4. Cycling .

We really enjoyed ourselves and the most important it bring more closeness between us as one big family . Hope to keep this activity as our yearly agenda . Thanks to the organizer .

Conclusion and observation :
1. MAEPS : suitable place for family gathering .
2. My youngest son injured his knee after falling off his bicycle . It is advisable to bring 1st aid kit while attending family gathering since no 1st aid kit available at the MAEPS administrative and security office . Recommended to the MAEPS authority to look seriously on this matter .

Stayed at Sunway Putra Hotel and shopping at Sunway Putra Mall

Spends 3D2N holiday at Kuala Lumpur during Chinese new year recently . We stayed at our favourite Sunway Putra Hotel . The location is fantastic , near to the mall, PWTC , Seri Pacific hotel and LRT station . It is the most convenient hotel for me since it is considered as our first pit stop for our entering point at Kuala Lumpur . Normally we park our car and disembark to other places by public transport , further more the parking is free for hotel guest . We love this hotel because of that reason .

The hotel had completed 100% of their refurbishing and newly room upgrade just a few month ago . Its share with the same building of newly opening Sunway Putra Mall where you can do shopping till you drop without leaving your hotel . There are a lot of retails that the mall can offers such as shirts , shoes , cinema , eating places and others . Those who like savvy dress can do shopping at HM and UNIQLO .

For muslim who want to do Friday prayer , you can walk towards PWTC where you can find big surau which performed Friday prayer and other 5 times prayer " berjemaah " . Also hotel's surau and mall's surau as another alternative to do your solat . Malaysia actually muslim friendly country which provides places for solat almost everywhere , and halal foods .

Note :
Since the government already increase the fare of public transport ie LRT and monorel by certain % . It is advisable to purchase " pre-load card " or search for their website which offers some discount .
If you travel with a family of 5 person or more , it is advisable to take a taxi or UBER since it is more economical . We can feel the "pinch" when we using LRT and Monorel to and fro from hotel to KL Sentral , its cost us RM80 for 6 person ... compared previously in the range of RM40 .
