Playground, a magical place where I always feel free and at peace. As a kid, its the place I enjoyed most. When I'm on the swing, I pretended I'm a princess, singing softly as I flew above the clouds. When on the see-saw, I pretended I'm like Joan-of-Arc, galloping on a horse to save a kingdom. I can be everything when I'm at the playground and I miss that now.
Now, the feeling is still the same. I enjoyed going there with my family. Sometimes I joined my kids playing and at other times I just sit and watch them enjoying themselves. But lately, I found that if I look around, I'll noticed other things as magical and beautiful as well. And I'm glad I did, because there you noticed ....
1. when kids first arrived with their family, they are shy and had to be encouraged but later, you had to almost drag them to go home.2. kids easily mingle and play together regardless age, sex and race, while parents keep to each other.
3. grandparents who came along with their grand childrens are enjoying themselves too, taking pictures, applauding and laughing over them while the kids parents are more tensed and worried that their children might fall & hurt themselves.

5. a family having a picnic.
6. an elderly couple holding hands, walking together around the tracks.
Ahh ... I never tire going to the playground be it early in the mornings or evenings. There are so many things to see and learn from each trips apart from making your kids happy and bonding with them. So, wherever you are, stop and look around you, even for a while.
Its like ` killing two ducks with one stone'.
In Malay proverb " Sambil menyelam sambil minum air"

1. Taman D.R. Seenivasegan, Ipoh, Perak

3. Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, K.Lumpur

(and other countless parks & playgrounds that I've visited)
