Cycling At Taman Botani, Putrajaya
Cycling At Taman Botani, Putrajaya – I like cycling, do you? I would buy myself a folding bike and go cycling in the city if I still resides in Penang. The problem is I do not stay at a place long for now. I am now in KL where cycling is not a favor transport and activities, I have to go to Putrajaya which is more bicycle friendly, there’s the Botanical Garden (Taman Botani) of Putrajaya that provides bicycle rental service and you can ride in the huge park all day long.RM4/hour for the weekend and you can release your perspiration and inhale the fresh oxygen in the garden and enjoy a relaxing weekend away from the hustle and bustle Kuala Lumpur city. That was my weekend few weeks back with my girlfriend.Not really a good day for photography, the weather sucks. -
Tropfest Penang 2012
Tropfest Penang 2012 – Went to Tropfest – The World’s Largest Short Film Festival which was also the last event of the month-long George Town Festival 2012. It’s my first time checking out a ‘film festival’ and also watching film at the outdoor, so close the nature. It was held at the Quarry Park of Penang’s Botanical Garden. Seating were on the nature grass floor.
It’s a good experience, together with few hundreds people watching the professional short film from around the world. I thought it’s a projector screen but instead it was a very huge LED screen.
Tropfest was actually originated from Australia, where filmmaker showcases shortfilm in a small gathering in a cafe named Tropicana Cafe, sooner it’d became a annual festival for short filmmaker around the world, becoming Tropfest of today. If you’ve missed it nevermind, you can check it out again next year at this month.

Big Ben Breakfast, Waterfall Road
Big Ben Breakfast, Waterfall Road – Big Ben Breakfast is a western breakfast corner located on Waterfall Road, near to Botanical Garden. It’s among the fruit stall where people park their car when they go to Botanical Garden. Big Ben Breakfast offers healthy western breakfast set like sunny egg, sausage, bacon, toast and more.
I find it’s kinda special because there’s a specialized stall that sells only western breakfast and in a healthy way. As eating such breakfast after a jog or hike at Botanical Garden provides nutrient f0r you. It opens from morning till evening daily except Tuesday.
You can pick various type of combination to create your own breakfast set. The Big Ben Breakfast set costs RM7.50 with toast, bacon, sausage, egg, red bean, ham and a tomato. The way the food are cooked are very healthy as it has less oil.
