Ping Pong, Gim Or Squasy?

The weather is nice this morning so I decide, after the gym, to head to Tasik Titiwangsa (Lake Gardens) for investigation. There are not many parks here, in my opinion, where you can just sit in the sun and catch some rays. KLCC Park is too touristy and full of people wanting to take your photograph; the Lake Gardens lacks places to sit – it’s just like a big circuit. I am hoping that Tasik Titiwangsa is different: it’s slightly out of town, so I am expecting it to be more provincial. 

I make a wrong turn from the GPS and end up in the National Theatre (Istana Budaya), which turns out  OK actually, as I get a parking space and a chance to take some photos of this building – it reminds me of the Sydney Opera house. I should make a trip here to see some theatre...

Tasik Titiwangsa is next door and (after walking in the wrong direction and ending up on a motorway) I find the park entrance: it’s lovely! Nice big lakes, with fountains, cafes, boating lake, jogging circuit, picnic benches and loads of places to sit in the sun and catch the rays…I can also come here to play a game of Ping Pong, go to the Gim or try my hand at Squasy...

Perfect – I shall come here when I want to get some sunshine (weather permitting). I walk round the big lake and decide against the second one, as the weather looks a bit thunderous. I was right to do that: the heavens opened so I make my way under the shelter of the trees back to the car and head to KLCC for some shopping.
