Josh Occasionally

Today’s Sunday, 4th of May 2008. Woke up at 12.35pm and feels a little dizzy cause slept too much.
Yesterday had a great time visiting the Lake Gardens downtown KL with my gf. We visited the National monument, Butterfly Park, Hibiscus and Orchid Park. Unfortunately we din manage to go to Bird Park, Tun Abdul Razak Monument, Police Museum , etc cause raining.

3.1 National Monument
Our first stop for the day, the Great National Monument of Malaysia aka Tugu Negara.
Full of tourist and the hot sun. maybe they should build more cover around the area cause it’s freaking hot and scorching. If i had stayed longer would have become a part of the exhibition. Haha!
After walking around and buying some souvenirs, we got on the car to our second destination, The Butterfly Park.

3.2 Butterfly Park
After a short drive across the road, i found myself in front of Bukit Aman, The Royal Malaysian Police HQ. Damn the guard on duty looks smart and sleepy… hahaha…
Driving on slowly i finally found the sign of Butterfly Park. After parking my car we walk to the entrance and bought our ticket, 2 adults plus a camera is RM17. The minute i walk in, it was amazing to actually believe that such a wonderful place exist in Malaysia. Butterflies flying around seeking shelter from the sun and around you. The lush growth of plants and forestry is amazing. Just can’t stop taking pictures of flowers and butterflies. Great haven for nature and butterfly lovers i say.
Saw a snake while there, the park attendants tried to capture the snake but it was so fast slithering away into the bushes. Great start to a great place i guess. The attendant said that the same snake had evaded capture for over 6-7 times and had a bounty on it’s head, interesting development. The visitors spent all the fish food feeding the fishes but overlook the hungry tortoise that emerged from another pool to get some fish food. There are some other animals like rabbit, gecko, scorpion, lizards in exhibits around the park compound. Visitors have to do some walking to see them all.It took both of us about 2 hours 30 minutes to simply finish the visit, quite a long one compared to other visitors. Finally left the park and went searching for some food for lunch. Bought some kebab near National Mosque and then journey on to our next destination, Hibiscus and Orchid Park.

3.3 Hibiscus and Orchid Park
Our last destination, Hibiscus and Orchid Park is located nearby the Butterfly Park. Drive in and had to pay entrance fee of only rm2 because it’s weekend. According to the guards, weekday visits are free. Drove a little while to reach parking area and had our lunch on the bench. The kebab ain’t good, so not recommended to dear readers to try. After lunch we walk around Hibiscus Park, taking photos and strolling around. Then a short walk to the Orchid Park which i would say is fantastic p[lace to visit. The varieties of Orchids are amazing and the landscape is beautifully design and maintain. Definitely a must visit destination for all tourist. Took us an hour to tour the Orchid Garden and worth every minute of the time spent. In the end we have to return cause the rain is starting again.

All in all, had a great time and wish all to have a great time too. Any inquiries plz dun hesitate to email or message me. Have Fun!
