Ampang hilir lake garden

So yesterday I was at home writing and editing pieces the whole day for my blog, regretting the fact that I was so inactive for a couple of days and now I have so much catching up to do; Basically the life story of every procrastinator ever. Anyways as I was sitting in my super comfortable couch, I realized I needed to go run for a little bit, I just got that sudden urge to run. For the record, I really like running and I used to run a lot back in the day, then I don’t know what happened. And I know just where to go to have the perfect run.

(I took all these pictures, please admit that I'm really talented)

The place is like this heavenly sanctuary on the side of the highway, you just turn and viola there it is. It called the Taman tasik lake garden in malay or as we called it in English, Ampang hilir lake garden. It is truly a small getaway place, perfect for that evening run, that cute picnic by the park or just a romantic stroll by the water. You choose what you want to do. I always just go running there because well I'm forever alone and I have no one to have a romantic stroll with #foreversingle.

Moving on from my amusing single life, let me tell you how to get there, the localization as usual is just great. It is like a 2-3 minute walk from Ampang point shopping center, so from wherever you come just get yourself to Ampang point and then use google maps for directions, you just to cross the street once or twice and then you’re there.

(I really don't know if I was running or just taking pictures the whole time)

The lake is open from 8 am until 8 pm every day even on public holidays, which is just perfect for those who like to run in the morning.

The smell of freshly cut grass, the distant laughs of kids playing nearby and the calmness of the lake were just a few things that created that atmosphere of bliss there. My suggestion to you guys is that go here if you need a break from the city life, or if you need to blow off some steam or just go for a good old walk in the park. There are also some sport equipments, you could use there; although I just prefer running.

And if you do get tired, they are a bunch of local restaurants there in the lake; I usually just have drinks like ice lemon tea or milo ice so I'm not sure how the food tastes like. But it is usually crowded so I think it probably is good.

I hope you guys enjoy these short pieces I write, if you need to know anything else, just let me know.

Cheers
