  • Tennis Playground – Kiaramas Cendana Condo

    Tennis Playground – Kiaramas Cendana Condo

    This playground belongs to a private condominium located at Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur. There are many high rise apartments & condo in Bukit Kiara & a lot of them has tennis courts. There are two hard courts here, they are located above the condo’s carpark & the surrounding are full of greeneries as you can see from the picture. The court side facilities are nice, with a barbecue area & a shade rest area with fans & lights. Its a good place to have a nice tennis gathering. The court blue paint seems to become powdery & are coming out of the surface. I find this problem consistent with most tennis courts found on medium to high cost condos around the city. Maybe they’re made by the same court construction company? I would rate the courts here 8 out of 10 at the time of this posting. But one court has a more faded blue than the other, maybe they’re surfaced at a different time. I dont know about the night lighting condition as I havent been here during the night yet. The official site of this condo is at kiaramascendanacondo.com Enjoy the pictures below:

    WTA Malaysia Open Venue review

    Night time at WTA Malaysia
    Night time at WTA Malaysia

    I just came back from two quarterfinal matches at the Malaysian WTA in Bukit Kiara. I got lotsa photos for you guys down here. Here’s a summary of what I thought:

    1. The venue is really not right for a WTA tournament. It’s held at a members only club & non members have to park miles away & we actually have to wait for a shuttle bus/van to pick us up from the parking area to go to the courts. The courts are too close to trees, leaves falling throughout the matches & players have to pick leaves up while playing… duh

    2. Bad crowd turnout… my pictures will explain all.

    3. Not enough food & drinks choices …. they just have pizza hut, mineral water, gatorade, some blended coffee that I cant remember & beer!

    4. Beer hostesses look good!

    5. Everything seem to be in white color there… white tents, white main entrance, white ticket booths & tanned white chicks

    6. Court seats are hard plastic & painful for the butt!

    7. Lotsa people using brolly while watching…. blockin my view… zzzz

    8. Court lighting really good at night!! Loads of flood lights

    9. No people means free seating…. Yay!!

    10. I havent been to a place with so many horses in my life
