Happy New Year 2014

I decided to celebrate new year right here in KL.

Partly because I just got back from a holiday, so the budget isn't there.

Besides most of my close friends are scattered all over.

It was very nice. A great view from Strato, Troika.

We had a great view. The fireworks was quite a disappointment. Its like just fireworks without any theme and fancy light show.

Still nice, nevertheless.

They should try to shoot the fireworks from the KLCC towers. Like what they do on The Burj in Dubai.

Marini's on 57th

I was introduce to Marini's on the 57th by a hotelier after a monthly gathering of hoteliers in KL. It was a very interesting night and I met several not only interesting, but also very nice people.

We ended at Marini's on 57th. I have never heard of it before but it was a pleasant surprise. One of the most spectacular views of the the Twin Tower you can get.  Just imagine looking at both towers from the 57th floor of a building just next to the tower. No other spots from a nearby buildings can challenge that I think.

The ID of the club was nice but the crowd was just OK. More office crowd - which is quite a disappointment.

Met Mr Modesto himself - the owner of the joint. He gave us a heads-up - the Italian restaurant will be opened soon.

Now I know where to take my Australian colleagues for dinner, and drinks - for a change.

Majestic view on March 16th 2012

One of the birthday treats I got this year is to tour KLCC, the tallest twin tower in the world, the sky bridge and the 86th floor of Tower 2.

Menara Kuala Lumpur is dwarfed.

The view is just amazing.

I posted it on Facebook, naturally. And caught significant attention form my friends, far and near. 

I do not agree with everything Dr M did but KLCC, among others, is such a visionary development - an ability not any other Malaysia leaders’ have. 

Nobody.

This is the pride of the nation.

A friend in Germany missed home when she saw this in Facebook.

I love Kuala Lumpur, I love Malaysia.

SEMALAM DI KUALA LUMPUR

I decided not to join my family to celebrate Aidil Adha this year. Most of them (not all) are congregating in Lumut, Perak. My sister lives there.

I was bored after dinner. The weather wa s perfect, in fact it was rather cold on the way back.

I reached KLCC almost midnight.

Before I managed to set up the tripod he lights were off. So it’s kind of a dark (KLCC) subject.

I like the moon and the thin cloud foration.

With speed priority for 15 seconds, I got this:

Suggestion to the management of KLCC - you guys should switch off the lights LATER during holidays and celebration - Hari Raya, Chineses New Year, Deepavali, Christmas, New Year of during Formula 1 week.

Its our icon.
