Memories of Malaysia

Posted on February 25, 2014 by geraldineoliveria

Our stay in Malaysia, no matter how brief, was full of unforgettable memories pleasant and not. We will definitely miss these places.

Cyberheights Villas

Cyberheights was our first home in Malaysia. I loved how quiet the place was, especially the view from our terrace – the Putrajaya Lake and the Putrajaya International Convention Center. I would just sit at the sofa on lazy afternoons enjoy the view.

Picnics at Putrajaya Lake

The jogging trail at Cyberheights Villa is perfect for weekend early morning picnics. We would bring our breakfast there and eat while the kids run around and play.

Putrajaya Shangri-la

We celebrated our 8th Wedding Anniversary in Putrajaya Shangri-la Hotel. It was our first hotel experience in Malaysia. We only went there to eat lunch but the kids loved the place so we decided to check in. We were surprised to find out that there were a lot of Filipino hotel staff there. They gave us complimentary cakes and wine 🙂

Old Town White Coffee and Tokyo Cafe

We eat here whenever I’m too lazy to cook lunch or dinner. We love the Nasi Lemak Ayam. Tokyo Cafe is just across Old Town White Coffee. The kids love eating here because it is less crowded than old town, and we get to share bento boxes everytime.

Putra Square and the Prime Minister’s Office

Shaftsbury Square

We would always go to Starbucks and Chatime in Shaftsbury square every weekend afternoon because the place is so quiet.

Cyberjaya Playgrounds

There are a lot of playgrounds in Cyberjaya. We would go there on afternoons to let the kids run and play.

The Swimming Pool at Cyberview Gardens

Friends over at Cyberview Gardens would often invite the kids for a swim.

Schools: REAL Kids Cyberjaya and SK Cyberjaya

Overall, the kids had a wonderful experience attending school and experiencing to be with other kids of different nationalities. Plus they also learned basic Mandarin and Bahasa.
