In the previous article, I was surprised that Kuala Lumpur has such a luscious green area in the middle of the city, complete with kiddie pools and playground. The next day, I was even more surprised that there are actually many to explore in the area, especially for family. For a start, of course I went up to the Petronas Tower.  After that, I visited Petrojaya Science Center, which is still in KLCC. It really is one of the best Science Center I have visited. My kids truly enjoyed exploring so many things that they didn’t want to get out, until I told them we were going to the Aquarium . The aquarium is right around the corner too.  After that, it was shopping time at…IKEA! Yess…:)

Remember I wrote in this article that I’m recently into juicing? My interest of juicing has grown ever since I followed Nadya Hutagalung on Instagram. The girl drinks juice like it’s slurpee. Of course, I’ve always known that fruits and vegetables are important to be eaten everyday, but I didn’t realize that it’s fun and actually delicious to mix vegetables and fruits. Not only we can eat a variety of vegetables and fruits in one go, we can also eat a variety of the colorful mix by 8 am in the morning. What do we usually eat by that time? Bread, perhaps? Or bubur ayam and lontong sayur?

So that’s how I got started. My juicing habit it not as intense as hers, though, because she usually has more greens and serves it in a huge glass! I notice she always mixes kale in her juice. After a little bit of googling, I found out that kale is high in fiber, iron, vitamin A, B, K, calcium and also has powerful antioxidant properties and helps lower cholesterol, among other things. Now I know what to hunt the next time I go grocery shopping.

I think I have about 2 or 3 more outfit posts from my last year’s KL Trip. So to continue this article, here’s the second outfit I wore on the second day. What I love about bringing dresses for traveling is its simplicity that I can just wear it on its own. Light chambray dress is especially suitable for a day of walking around town. The picture below is a park located right across the Petronas Tower. The park is one of the things that I envy the most about Kuala Lumpur. The luscious greenery, right smack in the middle of the Central Business District, something that we badly need in here. And not only the park is big, it’s also well manicured and houses a man-made lake,  playground and a kiddie pool! My kids spent hours playing and even I enjoyed a quick nap there.

Not that my life is so interesting but I am one who loves to capture moments, and ehmm share them on social media. Since last Monday was a pretty laid back day, something to thank for considering I had a grueling week before, I was able to stop for a second to take pictures of how my day went. Of course, this won’t be possible without my kick a*s Samsung Galaxy Camera. It’s a hassle to take my DSLR around, and my iPhone doesn’t take pictures half as good as this Galaxy Camera. This camera solves my problems.  It delivers what my DSLR and my iPhone cannot deliver: compact size and great quality pictures that make sharing oh-so- much-more enjoyable.

I usually wake up around 5:30, take a shower and all, and then wake my son up at 6 and herd him to the bathroom. I, then, go downstairs to make my juice. I’ve been a regular homemade juice drinker, prepared by my mbak, but it usually consists of one type of fruit and mainly guava when it’s in season. This year, I’m preparing my own with three or four types of fruits mixed with vegetables, inspired by the juicing frenzy all over Instagram. Who would’ve known that I’d actually enjoy the preparation of making juice?  Seeing the colorful fruits and vegetables make me happy. If you’re looking for a blender, I recommend this Philips blender I use. It blends in a matter of seconds and for a blender, it’s not as noisy as the other ones.
