This is my favourite 3.30pm hang out spot, the cendol man’s stall by the roadside at Persiaran Puteri. The cendol man is there 7 days a week, rain or shine (except for heavy rain, who wants to eat cendol, right?) from 3pm till 6.30pm.

He sells cendol for RM1.30 (eat-in) or RM1.50 (to go/tapau). His delicious cendol keeps the regular customers coming back. I guess he earns a good income from selling cendol and rojak because he doesn’t mind paying the occasional RM120 summons from MPSJ for operating illegally by the roadside.

Apart from cendol, he also sells rojak. Can’t remember how much it was.

He operates here.

Residents at Bandar Puteri and nearby Puchong can now enjoy the convenience of getting essentials 24hours a day. Thanks to the newly opened Carrefour Express at Puteri 5.

I went there tonight to get some groceseries and I find the choices of retails are much better if compared to 7-Eleven.

Notice the number of monsters “terrorizing” the highway during the morning crawl? That’s 3 on the LDP (towards Sunway toll direction). When I took a left to Kesas Highway, I found two more of these backhoe-loader moving slowly, hogging the traffic.

I personally think they should be banned from the road during peak hours! This is almost becoming a common scene at this particular area during the morning rush.

Today I attended mass at the new church in Pusat Bandar Puchong, the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe (OLG). Personally, this is indeed a welcoming news for myself. OLG is only five minutes drive from where I live. After mass, breakfast is just a few steps across the nearby shophouses. A typical Sunday I used to do with my parents when I was living in Kuching. It indeed brought back memories.

The interior plan of OLG is almost similar to the Church of Blessed Sacrament in BDC but OLG is about a half smaller and missing the left and right wings of the BDC church.

The parishioners are residents from within Puchong radius. Its a mix of Indians, Chinese, Sarawakians & Sabahans and also a good number of Africans.

Mass times are as following:

Sunday: 8.00am Mass(T) | 9.30am Mass (E) | 4.30pm Mass (M) |5.45pm Mass (BM)
Monday : 7.00pm
Tuesday to Thursday: 6.15am
Friday: (Novena 6.30pm) | 7.00pm
Saturday: 7.00 am | 6.30 pm (Sunset Mass)

The church has an interesting history and that explains why the name OLG was chosen. It was a result of untiring dedication of early settlers from Puchong estate led by the late Mr. Singarayan in the pursuit of a place of worship.

Prior to completion OLG became a victim of issue when the land title had been politicized.
