This is just a short post about flower but not just any type of flower. Did you know what is the Malaysia national flower? You can see this flower at many advertisements about visit Malaysia. If you guessed Bunga Raya or hibiscus that means you were right.

Hibiscus is said to be originated from China but you can find hibiscus all over Malaysia. I like to see the red one although there are many other colors available.

Usually the recreational parks have this hibiscus grown there. The one I found is at Titiwangsa Lake Garden not far from National Art Gallery (Balai Seni Lukis Negara) in Kuala Lumpur.

Raya is a Malay word meaning ‘big’ or ‘large’ and Bunga Raya literally means Big Flower. So Hari Raya can be translated as the Big Day to Muslims. Read more on Malaysia National Flower | Bunga Raya | Hibiscus…

I love to read books but not every kind of book. Usually I read books about travel, pc tips and technology related ones. Do you buy or borrow the books? If you are college student maybe you do that at your college’s library or if you got extra money you may simply buy it.

 In Kuala Lumpur there is Malaysia National Library or Perpustakaan Negara Malaysia located just beside Jalan Tun Razak. I still remember the first time I visited this library was in the year 1993 and I was just 14 years old then. The library was still in the completion phase but had already open to public because most of the facilities especially at level 1,2,3 were complete enough to the visitors.

Recently I went there again and surprisingly I thought the National Library there was missing because it is hidden by another buildings nearby. Furthermore as far as I can remember the library’s roof was blue 16 years ago and now the colour is brown.

It is recommended to go there by public transportation as the car park lots there are really limited. To borrow the books, you must be a MyKad holder and the application is free. Just fill in the simple form and after that you can start borrowing the books. Read more on National Library in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia…
