An art exhibition in Ampang

Continued from The recreational forest of Sungai Sendat.


Five days later we went to a private art gallery in Ampang, Kuala Lumpur.


There was the launching of exhibition and we were invited.


Also there were a number of old schoolmates from Sekolah Menengah Sains Johor, the Johor science secondary school in Kluang.


One of our mates started taking art classes the last few months or so and his painting was among the exhibits.


Attending this function reminds of the time I was still a journalist with The New Straits Times.


Back then I used to attend many such functions especially ones held by foreign embassies.


There's a kind of soothing hippie and Bohemian atmosphere around it.



Once upon a time I would readily offer myself to play the guitar and/or sing. Nowadays I am too lazy (and shy I guess) despite being invited to do so... :]



The recreational forest of Sungai Sendat

Peace be upon you all. This is from a month ago.


Me and wife was going to a visit her colleague in Ulu Yam who just suffered from a calamity only to find out she was in Kuala Lumpur. Turning back home we saw a small road and took it to the end and found a gem.


Welcome to the recreational forest of Sungai Sendat.


It was the first time we came here and we were surprised to find quite a large turn out.


Actually I was the one who did the exploring as the wife had to stay in the car with our child who was then fast asleep.


This place has a nice stream.


And you don't have to go far to see a waterfall.


A look behind as I went further up.


This should be the second level.




Going higher...


On to the third level.




The climb got steeper.


Have to do a bit of jungle trekking.


Then only came the fourth level.






I understand there's at least one more waterfall further up but enough of that. I decided to take a quick dip before returning to the wife and child.
