Jambatan Seri Gemilang
This is one of the beautiful night views I took from Taman Seri Empangan.Now there is a restaurant here selling ikan bakar and other usual Malaysian food.

City sidewalk..
Here is a nice and clean sidewalk located at Desa Pandan,Kuala Lumpur(KL).It is about 500 metres from where I lived for almost 25 years.We don't walk and we don't cycle around here-we drive our cars.By the way,this sidewalk is not meant for cycling and I saw some improvement to upgrade Desa pandan sidewalk but the width is about a metre.On weekends,I saw people walking but seldom see people cycling.
Desa Pandan is less than 100 metrers from the city famous Selangor Golf Club-one of the few green lungs for KL.
I can count with my fingers how many times I ever walk the sidewalks in KL.It is hot,bad air and noisy.Most of the time I drive my car.However,there is one place that I go almost every weekend when I lived in KL.It is the KLCC Garden.One loop is about 1.3km and I walk there three loops for my weekend exercise .Nowadays,more and more office towers and residential condos have grown around the garden and I felt like a dwarf surrounded by giants whenever I walk there.Since three years ago,I walk in Bangi and mostly in Putrajaya.
If you wish to see a lot of people walking in KL,just drop by at great shoping malls like Suria KLCC,Pavilion,Sungei Wang and SOGO.Yes, we Malaysia love shopping/eating and we walk in droves in an airconditioned environment.
Is there any social interactions on the sidewalk?Yes, but it is very little indeed.Most of us were rushing some where.Most of the time we were alone in a madding crowd!
Below is Alamanda,Putrajaya in 2005:More photos on the sidewalks here.

Simply nasi goreng
Nasi goreng can as simple as complicated as you want it to be.It could cost you RM2 or RM10.The above costs RM7.90 at a Bangi restaurant and it tastes great!When I grew up in Kelantan in the 50's and 60's, I seldom eat nasi goreng(fried rice) because there were so many other rice based food to eat like nasi belauk,nasi kerabu and nasi dagang.When our folks have less time to cook,then I think nasi goreng became popular in the 80's or so...
