A Day at Cyberjaya and Putrajaya

This is a backdated post.

One of the weekends, papa drove mommy and Shenny to Cyberjaya since we had never been there.  We spent a day there.

Actually, there was not many things to see in Cyberjaya.  We saw many office buidings, a university and apartments. While we were driving around, we found out there was a big park, quite beautiful.  And we decided to explore the park but it was very hot.

Shenny requested to allow her to carry her little umbrella but she used it for a while only.  Mommy had to help her carry it because she could not carry umbrella while exciting at the playground.

What we see in the park? 

A giant clock at park's entrance.

Shenny spent almost an hour at this big playground.

 We walked over a bridge to reach a small island in the middle of the lake.  There were many lotus flowers in the pond.

Shenny took these photos, lotus and its seed.

Mommy spoted a hanging bird nest from afar.

 
After that, we decided to go further to Putrajaya since it was nearby.  Shenny was excited when we told her there was a cruise at Putrajaya, and she get to cruise before when she was smaller.  Then, she asked us to take her for cruise again.  However, by the time we reached Putrajaya, it was nearly 6pm, we were late for cruise.

We managed to explore few places in Putrajaya near its big lake and also visited the Alamanda Shopping center for dinner.  Hehe, we spent nearly 30 minutes to locate the shopping center.  We looked for it from Precint 1 to Precint 16.  It is in Precint 16 if anyone happens want to visit the shopping center there.

The Alamanda Shopping center is not big shopping center, and it has both Parkson and Carrefour there.  After having our dinner there, we headed home around 9.30pm.

Wayang Kulit

Yesterday, papa brought mommy and Shenny to visit The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Center (KLPac) in Sentul West.  The building is built inside a big park.  The building itself is built from the extension of an artistic building.  We walked inside, outside and its surrounding.  It was very nice to walk around because the building and its surrounding was nicely built and designed.  However, mommy hopes the authority will do a better maintenance on the building and its surrounding, so that it will survive long.

Co-incidentally, there is a wayang kulit show at that time. Papa suggested to take this opportunity to introduce the world of shadow puppetry (wayang kulit) to Shenny.   Therefore we joined in this 20 minutes show.

Nala Nantha, a theather teacher, presented the story of "Where the wild things are" through the wayang kulit show.

Children were entertained with a hand puppet before the begining of the show. Each child got chance to introduce themselves and touch the puppet.

Back stage of wayang kulit. 

Children were encouraged to go to back stage to check out how the 'tok lalang' manupulate the puppet to make the show.  Each child got chance to pick up one of paper puppets and to make a shadow on the screen.

Shenny took a picture with the hand puppet, Ooh KuluKuluKulu. 

Children were asked to say the hand puppet name, since its name was a bit long, everyone laughed when tried to call its name.

Surprisingly, a Japanese restaurant is found next to a big lake, which is opposite the KLPac building.  Since we just had our late lunch, therefore decided to patronise the restaurant next visit.
