my lovely motherhood: Sasana Kijang: Part I

We went to Sasana Kijang and this was an unplanned field trip. Bapak is now crazy over old coins and he is now half way to be a professional numismatist (a wishful thinking). He has few very very old coins handed over by his Tok Yah (not sure whether the coin is handed over or he found it somewhere from the old tabung buluh) which is from British trade coins and worth hundred of dollars. He even started to korek his piggy bank hoping he would found a very uncleaned ancient coin and when he dug out the mud, it is a million dollars worth Dekadrachm from Ancient Greek coinage. (He he, gurau je, I'll support you anyway!).

Sasana Kijang is located at Jalan Dato Onn, Kolumpo. The operating hours is from 0800 to 2000. They also offers selections of tempting local snacks and drinks which I presumed cost me three precious ancient coins (with relative to the ambience and the Bank Negara staff which most of them carrying Birkins and Stuart Weitzman's Rose Pumps). However, the best thing is they offer us free-admission galleries and museums! And to top it, we have it all for ourselves because nobody cares to study old coins and other old stuff.

But honestly speaking, this place is one of the best places to visit with your children. You could discuss on how the coins made, what it is made of, who made it, and at the end, you can relate all this created things with the Mighty Creator. As for me, I will try to always end up the discussion with "Who give the idea to the man to create this/ that?", and they will firmly answer "Allah". But with small children age 6 to 2 years old, I didn't discuss or comprehend on every coin or every sculpture we saw. They probably only enjoyed the lightings, the display boxes, the floor, the dim lights, the shapes of the coins and the sound of the visual displays. Let them be kids (but when impatience strikes, scream :-|).

Well, go visit Sasana Kijang this weekend. It's worth every coin. Here's our photos in no particular order.
