TTDI Park (Taman Rimba Kiara Park)

My boy jogs ahead of me

TTDI Park is located in front of Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman Tun Dr. Ismail (2). It is a popular haven for jogging and recreational activities to both residents and outsiders. It is also famous for its natural trails and fresh air especially for avid jungle trekkers and mountain bikers.

It is supposed that part of the massive 188.93 hectare public park are to be connected with the KL Golf & Country Club, Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club and Sri Hartamas. Supposedly, it will be our version of London’s Hyde Park. Well, only time will tell when.

Ian has been bugging me to take him to the park to train and prepare for the upcoming school Sports Day where he takes part in the 50m Sprint.

As we woke up from our afternoon nap to a bright and sunny sky yesterday, I decided to take Ian for a jog. Ian has not had the luxury of getting his afternoon naps since school started early this year as he attends afternoon class.

It was a short drive from our condo to the park. There were already cars lining up on both sides of the road though it wasn't long before we got a parking infront of the kebangsaan school.

Tame monkey... responds to me calling

We walked (in between jogs) a complete circle around loop of jogging trail going up and downhill. Along the trail, we could hear birds chirping and insects making their myriads of sounds. We even spotted a troop of monkeys swinging from trees to trees. One of the monkeys on the ground responded to me calling and I quickly took a snapshot of it.

Ian bumped into his schoolmate at the playground and while they played together, I wandered around taking some photos.

It's surely fun playing catch with those fishes!

Ian was so enthusiastic about his upcoming race at the school's Sports Day that he went to bed at 9pm the night before so that he got to swim this morning as the house rule says he must go to bed by 9pm to be able to swim the next morning.:)

Tonight, again, after finishing his homework, he had his supper as usual and while watching his Yamaha DVD (JMC 4), he asked if I could take him for a jog tomorrow morning to get himself prepared for the coming race. O.o. What a determined boy I have here. Hahaha....
