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.

Spotted

Spotted this in Publika.

Different interpretation of the word, the name of the Almighty.

I like it. Hence, it deserves a space here.

My KL

I shot this with my IPhone when I was walking around with ZK trying to decide where to have lunch in Publika.

I am beginning to like this Publika place. It matures quite gracefully.

KL is beautiful.

Old KL

Some where near Central Market

Bijan, Kuala Lumpur

I have to select images to be sent to my web develop. Yes, my website is coming up. It has been a while, I have been working on it a bit slowly. 

Too much distractions.

These were shot in a nice restaurant in Bijan, Kuala Lumpur. 

These are just hours-d'oeuvres

Bijan is one of my favorite restaurants especially when I want my guests from abroad to test their pellet against our Malay cuisines, in a very subtle way, yet with a choice to go all the way to local level spiciness. 

Pedas la juga.

Kuala Lumpur City Center - 15 seconds exposure

I was bored after dinner. The weather was 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 formation.

KL Cab

What da!!!!

While Waiting for the (forever late) birthday girl.

Rozz @ No Black Tie

I have watched her several times, in Bagan Bar in Penang and No Black Tie in Kuala Lumpur.

I love her crazy medley and she can really carry high notes.

Extremely funny and entertaining.

She was in No Black Tie again recently. We booked a table right in the centre.

Nice!

Trekking @ Forest Research Institute of Malaysia

Training for Mount Kinabalu climb.

FRIM is not really the place for that. Too easy.

It's like walking in the park

This is still my favorite building in KL.

Still!

SEK YUAN RESTAURANT ON JALAN PUDU

Really old school - Art Deco architecture.

It was THE restaurant during its younger days.

I don't think it has changed much since they open it. It is an institution in Jalan Pudu community, still highly patronized.

The entrance

View from the floor

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.
