The children were as usual excited to be able to go out. But were not so excited already when they had to squeeze among the crowd. It was crowded and everyone was fighting for the best view. The crowd made it hard to breathe and also made us sweat because of the heat. So that dampened the children's mood. The show haven't even reached to the middle of the show and the children already showed signs of wanting to go home. They were cranky and angry. So we left the place and already drove the car halfway until we discovered less crowd further down the lake! We quickly swerved to the roadside and parked our car there. We joined the less crowd there and continued with the show. The children were happy again. More space, more cooling and they don't have to fight for the best view because here we are right in front.
So I've learnt something from attending this kind of event is either you go there super early to get the best view or just go further away from the event where there's less crowd. Now what shall I do or where shall I go this weekend? Any ideas to share with me?

Where to go ah this weekend? Desa Park City - la, your family's favourite place, no? Wah, very nice floats. I never knew they had such things.
ReplyDeleteWow! All oso looks very nice! :)
ReplyDeleteWe were there last week too, but on Friday night! My girl loves the firework but my boy got terrified, lol!
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn, love the pics, you a good photographer.
ReplyDeleteNoticed Perak's float had the slogan, 'Yours to discover".
Our Ontario slogan is 'Yours to discover' from wayyyy back.
I very rarely go watch these shows as have never appreciated crowds. My wife too.
We rather watch it on TV.
But I'm sure your kids enjoyed the show.
Go bring your kids fishing somewhere.....have a picnic too.
Have a pleasant weekend.
Lee.
ps, is that Templar park still there, or Bukit Kanching? About 15 miles out of KL.
Used to go there swim in the cool waterfall area.
Nice picture of the bridge! :)
ReplyDeleteApa you testing testing sini?
ReplyDeleteWow! So nice. I didn't know about this. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGermaine: I don't go to Desa Park City always. It's too far for me. :p I also never knew until I heard over the radio. Aiyoh so shy. you noticed my testing testing ah? That was actually for MG. I tried publishing blog post through windows live writer and it works!
ReplyDeleteAlice: poor boy. got terrified. nvm, bring him to see more often then he won't be terrified anymore.
Uncle Lee: I hate crowds too. But for the sake of the children..what to do. LOL. I don't know how to fish. Never fish before in my life. Not sure whether Templar Park is still there. But I can find out. Thanks for dropping by!
Merryn: Thanks Merryn!
MG: You're most welcome.

ReplyDeleteMartha: I don't like crowds too but never been before and for the sake of the kids. Anyway, we discovered a less crowded place..;)
