Golfing in the Federal Territories and its surroundings

One of the good golf courses in Kuala Lumpur - Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club

Although Kuala Lumpur is a cosmopolitan, the nation's capital for commerce and trade, it is not lacking in greeneries and centres for recreational activities. One of the more popular sports played by the KL-ites of all breed and creed is golf. Kuala Lumpur is not short of golf courses although land is scarce and of high value.

The more prominent courses include the Royal Selangor Golf Club ("RSGC") in Jalan Tun Razak and the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club ("KLGCC"). KLGCC recently did a major overhaul of its golf course, raising its quality and value. There is also the Kelab Golf Perkhidmatan Awam ("KGPA") next to KLGCC and Kelab Golf Titiwangsa ("KGT") in the compunds of the Titiwangsa Lake Gardens. KGT is a 9-hole golf course.

Bukit Jalil Golf & Country Club

On the southern end of the capital city is Bukit Jalil Golf & Country Resort ("BJGCR") located next to the National Sports Complex. In nearby Putrajaya is the Palm Garden Golf Club which is located within the IOI Resort.

Just outside Kuala Lumpur, there is a fair number of golf courses as Selangor is a state with the largest number of golf courses in the country. This include Kinrara Golf Club ("KGC"), neighbouring BJGCR, Tasik Puteri Golf & Country Club in Rawang, Templer Park Country Club and Perangsang Templer Golf Club near the Templer Park in Selayang, the famous Saujana Golf & Country Club that has hosted so many Malaysia Opens, The Mines Resort & Golf Club, a host to the World Cup Golf 1999, the inaugural Women's World Cup Golf 2000 and the Carlsberg Malaysia Open 2003.

Fast Food chains

Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan are synonymous with fast food chains. Go to KLCC, Alamanda, Sungai Wang Plaza, Lot 10, Pavilion, and you'll find these fast food chains at every corner of the premises. Why are fast food chains so popular amongst the cosmopolitans? They're easy, fast and predictable. You'll always know that you will get the same cheese cake at the secret recipe outlet in Taman Tun Dr Ismail and any other outlet in the city. Predictability and time has always been important factors when it comes to food. You never want to expect one thing and get something else when you are hungry as an angry hungry man would not make a good customer!

Gerai sana, gerai sini...

Kotaraya Kuala Lumpur adalah sememangnya sebuah pusat aktiviti ekonomi negara Malaysia. Pelbagai perniagaan ada dijalankan di sini, tidak kira yang kecil, mahupun yang besar. Peniaga kecil-kecilan bersepah di pelusuk bandaraya. Ada yang berniaga di kaki lima, ada yang berniaga di pasar malam, pasar tani, bazar Ramadhan dan merata-merata lagi. Bak kata orang, di bumi bertuah ini, tak mungkin seseorang itu akan mati kebuluran. Selagi ada nyawa di badan selagi ada tulang empat kerat, selagi ada usaha, rezeki pastinya boleh diperolehi.

Jalan-jalan Hujung Minggu

Jalan-jalan hujung minggu
Ingin jumpa teman baru
Destinasi mana yang nak dituju?
KL Sentral pilihanku

Setibanya kami di situ
Jalan mana yang nak dituju
Kaunter informasi pun membantu
Warong kita tujuanku

Bila semua dah dok di bangku
Kami pun lihat-lihat di menu
Kopi dan telur pilihanku
Pembuka selera sarapanku

Setelah selesai bersarapan
Kami pun mula berjalan-jalan
Pusing kiri pusing kanan
Banyak kedai kelihatan

Banyak terdapat kedai makanan
Terdapat pelbagai pilihan
Agi idup agi ngelaban
Makan banyak sampai nak pengsan

Maybank ada

CIMB ada

Cantik sungguh hiasannya

Ramai menunggu dengan selesa

Membeli-belah di hujung bulan

Kami ke Tesco membeli belah
Membeli belah barangan rumah
Ada dijual pelbagai buah
Warnanya hijau, kuning dan merah

Masa membayar suasananya sesak
Tua muda dan anak-anak
Bila membeli ingatlah kelak
Belilah makanan yang enak-enak

Di Tesco Pandan di kawasan Cheras
Di sebelah highway ada jejantas
Di pasaraya kawasannya luas
Mencari barang semuanya puas
