A popular place in my town
I live in Seremban, the capital of Negri Sembilan in
Malaysia Seremban is just about 60 km south of Kuala
Lumpur, the nation’s capital Compared to busy Kuala
Lumpur, living in Seremban is much less hectic and the
residents have more time for relaxation
The most popular place where the residents go to for
Trang 2relaxation has to be the Lake Gardens Situated just
beside the centre of town, it has two small lakes
surrounded by lush green vegetation A jogging track
through the vegetation circles the area Just beside the
larger lake are a flower garden and an aviary
The flower garden contains many varieties of beautiful
flowers This place is the favorite of shutter-bugs One can
always see people posing for pictures beside the flowers
On Sundays the place is especially busy as brides and
grooms flock to it to have their pictures taken
Trang 3The aviary holds a modest number of birds There are
eagles, mynahs, parrots and others The last time I was at
the aviary, there was even a peacock that would not show
his glory and a crane that stood so still that at first I
mistook it for a dead tree
Every morning before the sun rises, people start to go
towards the Lake Gardens The Tai Chi brigade gets there
first These are usually senior citizens who practice this
ancient Chinese art to stay healthy and supple Judging by
Trang 4the number of practitioners of this art, I have to say it is
very popular
As the sun rises younger people can be seen jogging
around the jogging track Some just walk briskly Yet
others just sit stroll leisurely on the grass taking in the cool
morning air
After 4 p.m the people come again This time it is mainly
young men and women who come to jog or just exercise
themselves Some come to visit the flower garden and the
Trang 5aviary together with their families
This goes on till dusk and when night takes over, the Lake
Gardens is virtually deserted except for courting couples
Then peace reigns over the Lake Gardens until the next
morning when once again the place comes alive
