When I first heard of Alamanda Putrajaya a few years ago, I brushed it off as a boring place, without even paying it a visit. Last week, I was forced to eat my words, after a day trip with a group of bloggers. 
The day started with breakfast at Ipoh Old Town — good timing, as I was getting grumpy without my morning coffee. We were treated to nasi lemak, kaya toast and a choice of white coffee or tea. While some people dug into their plates of nasi lemak, others (like myself) started camwhoring.

Then, off we went to Putrajaya Challenge Park for rock climbing. I told them I WOULD NOT rock climb, as I didn’t want to bruise or hurt myself. But everyone kept persuading me to give it try. I gave in….
Finally, the top!

And got THIS in return.
Battle scars!
I wanted to say, “Don’t ever rock-climb, ever!”, but truth be told, it was fun! And the liberating feeling when you get to the top (OK fine, I didn’t have to climb very high, but it’s still an achievement for me) is addictive. 
We were done by 1.30pm — I was so hungry, I almost ate Rebecca in the bus. Lunch was at Pullman Hotel. The landscaping is amazing, and each part of the hotel has a different theme.
Thank you Pullman Hotel for lunch! *BURP*
Ouch! That bruise looks painful. Never tried rock-climbing before. For a first-timer like you, I must say you did great girl. I think I would have given up after the 1st step! LOL
