KL: A to Z on Fun Things To Do & Places To Visit With Kids {K}
Typical fun entertainment for kids at shopping complexes. There are coin-operated rides as well as attendant-operated rides. For a RM1 (50 cent X 2) coin-operated ride, you (your kids) get 3 minutes ride. As for the attendant-operated it depends on the management, some cheap some expensive. Minimum is RM6 for 5 minutes!
Every time my son saw these rides, he will jump up and down asking for money. Luckily I only shop once a month, so it’s not that bad. Normally I spent Rm16; 10x coin-operated different types of rides (i.e. Bob The Builder, Thomas The Train, Batman car, etc) and 1x attendant-operated ride.
If you know places around Kuala Lumpur that provide kiddies rides, do let me know! Thanks heap!

Drawing mode *
I am working on My Mother’s Garden book. Already drew 5 pages and left with 5 pages more, oh make that 6 plus the cover. Or maybe I can just choose the best illustration and make it as the cover. My publisher, Linda, wants me to finish this early so that we could bring it to 2010 Bologna Children’s Book Fair, Italy!!
*I feel like giving link love for this post, so be the first commenter!

Jogging is a great activity that we parents can do with our children. Children will be more likely to be physically active if it’s something they can do with their family.
Familiar jogging tracks in Kuala Lumpur that my husband and I often bring our son to are KLCC Park, Titiwangsa Lake and Lake Garden.
KLCC Jogging/Running Track
A 1.3 km. long jogging track is laid with EPDM, a special rubberized material for comfort and safety. Rest areas are provided along interconnecting footpaths.Titiwangsa Lake
Stretches over a sprawling area of 46 hectares of land, this recreational park is equipped with a lot of facilities suitable for jogging, canoeing, aqua biking and other outdoor activities. Two of the most unique attractions of the parks is the Radio Control Car Racing Track and the Horse Riding Facility.Lake Garden
The park is fully equipped with pedestrian walkways and jogging paths as well as exercise equipment to aid walkers and joggers in their quest to keep fit.Entrance is FREE for all 3 parks so come, jog on!
p/s: Please note that jogging is an aerobic exercise that helps strengthen our heart, lungs, muscles, and bones. It is recommended that a beginner start with a walking program and move up to jogging.

My son and I were lost during the trip and we had to make two trips around the university area before we found two students sitting by a bus-stop and asked them for direction. By the time we reached Rimba Ilmu, it has been closed for lunch. My son and I went straight home as he is not the type to wait for two hours ^__^
