Jacob Ballas @ Botanical Gardens

So one fine Sunday in December I was minding my own business, quite happy to slack at home 'cos I had no plans whatsoever. Then aleh-aleh Beg Fan gave me a call, asking me if I'd like to join him and the kids for a trip to Botanical Gardens. You know, for some reason I've never went to Botanical Gardens much as a kid. I jumped at the chance.

Of course, what my brother really meant to say by asking me if I'd wanna come along was "Hikam ikut uh, boleh tolong Abang and Kak Su jaga² si Fikri and Hilmi". Haha I saw through that in an instant but hey, I'm happy to act as a chaperone for my 2 little munchkins anytime, so off I went.

We went to some Jacob Ballas Children's Garden located somewhere inside Botanical Gardens. I was almost like a kid myself in fantasyland, as I looked in wonder at the plants and the sheer creativity of the garden. Sometimes it's good to release a part of your adult life and just let go and see life through the eyes of a kid again...

Here we are now ladsPretty self-explanatoryFound a takraw ball in Botanical Gardens of all places!!!Just couldn't resist it could I?
