Saw bride groom taking pictures there and i can acertain the pics going to turn out gorgeous!!!
Congratulations to you both!

Surprise to see a library in the FRIM. So i was all excited and literary ran in. a RM10 per entry. So we thought no wonder there's not one person in a two storeys library! Went in at 11.40 am, some 15 mins later, one of the staffs told us to leave as it's time for break and told us to come back at 2pm and we were very shock that library actually closes for lunch?!?!?!?!?!!!!! it's so absurd we thought but we just left quietly. As i was just started a book so i asked if i could borrow, the librarian answered these books are meant for staffs only! sigh.... what a joke! i am just wondering how often are these books read! it's really a waste leaving books on neatly arranged shelves of library in a deserted place! aren't library books are meant for sharing??

Hibiscus

some nameless beautiful flower. no label signage or the sort

Hardly anyone working there. Wnted to visit wood workshop, bamboo workshop etc but the worshops are all EMPTY!!!

Wish i could bring back the parasite grown on the tree... hehehehe

gigantic plant seen by the entrance, have this outside my house compound but much smaller version of it.

Just out of the blue, hubby and i drove into FRIM for no reason.. of cos since we have not been there.. decided to walk in instead of driving in so we can take a closer look..
