Had to sacrifice the mango tree

So sad. Had to sacrifice the mango tree after all these years. The roots are cracking the pavement.

Still remembered the day I bough the tree in a small plastic bag for just RM7 in 2005. At least we enjoyed years of bountiful harvest.

It's a pity that I had to cut it down. Original plan was to let it grow big and proper than make a tree house on it.....

Bike ride along the Putrajaya lake near Alamanda and Presint 16.

Over the weekend got my son comfortable to ride his bike. So our first bike adventure was along the Putrajaya lake near Alamanda and Presint 16.

MPH Book Carnival at PICC, Putrajaya

Over the weekend was a huge MPH book carnival at the PICC centre in Putrajaya. Went there to grab some bargains.

Bought tons of books. My son all tired out.

The Royal Floral Show in Putrajaya 2015

Yesterday went to the Putrajaya Floral Show situated in Presint 4. Went at two p.m. Although very hot, there was still a lot of people there.

There were a lot of exhibitions.

We spent close to 3 hours there.

Took some friends to the Putrajaya Lake Cruise

We took the bigger boat so that we can see more. Moreover, it is air-conditioned.

The boat has large windows for a good view of the scenery.

In the background you can see the balloon service.

Selfie in the sun.

After a hot day, some refreshments were in order.

Some of the good walking trails along the Putrajaya lake.

Weekend stroll along the Putrajaya Lake and site for the upcoming Floral Show

Took a stroll along the Putrajaya Lake. Nice weather and we practically for the area all to ourselves. In the distance you can see the Harriott Watt University Putrajaya Campus.  

Scenic route.

So serene.

We then saw the permanent Chinese garden exhibit.

Beautiful landscaping.

The entrance is also beautifully made.

A number of bonzai-like trees.

There was also an English garden.

Sunbathing.

A pavilion.

Buildings of Putrajaya.

A clock tower. I suspect this is not permanent. Just for the upcoming Floral Festival.

Monkeying around.

Tired out.
