Kuala Lumpur / Klang


Two weeks ago I had an impromptu visit to Malaysia's capital City - Kuala Lumpur. So here are some pictures. I stayed in a nearby city - Klang, Selangor. Made me realise we have so much history!

LCCT airport- next to KLIA

Air Asia's Tune Hotel - Right next to the terminal

On the way
Our National Anthem - Negaraku (My country)

Visited Cervantes Institute in Damansara. If you're interested to study Spanish - this is where you need to be!



A bridge that looks very similar in design to Penang Bridge

There are so many malls thriving in Selangor - One of them is the Sunway Pyramid

Huge sphinx greets you at the entranceInterior


Nike store- I thought it was very creative they did this in soccer jerseys.

Sunway Lagoon is right next to it- Many international artistes have come here to do concerts. MTV World Stage will be held here at the end of July.

Something wise at the bathroom wall

Royal Gallery of the Royals of the Selangor state. Really beautiful.

Alam Shah Palace - This is where the Sultan lives yo!

Really huge, but we weren't allowed in, of course.



This is the fort that King Mahadi used to defend his Selangor against King Abdullah. Now the Municipal building of Klang is built behind it.

Historical Railway station of Klang

We took a 45 min train ride to reach Kuala Lumpur; same amount of time I took to fly from Penang to KL :)



Kuala Lumpur's Puduraya Jail - it is no longer in use and they have recently decided to break it down. Out with the old, in with the new

Popular Bintang Walk - Star Walk


I'll leave you with a building most people would recognise

I'm sure you know what this is :)
(If you don't, it's the Petronas Twin Towers)

Ever wondered what music sports people and celebrities listen to? I was watching the Olympics swimming competition and the swimmers were walking to the pool. Suddenly I see Michael Phelps walking out with earphones.. I wonder what he's listening to? So here are a few pics of sports people/celebs and what I think they're listening to. All the pics aren't mine, I took 'em off the net, so credit goes to whoever that took the pics k? Feel free to contribute your thoughts ;) USA NBA Star Lebron James - Getcha' Head in the Game [High School Musical] Russian Tennis Player Maria Sharapova - The Kill [30 Seconds to Mars(Venus)] Chelsea football/soccer player, Nicolas Anelka* - Second Chance [Trisha Yearwood] * missed a penalty at the Champions' League Final Desperate Housewives star Terri Hatcher - Yet Another Plumber [Flashlight Brown] Super fit Fergie - Work It [Missy Elliot] Cristiano Ronaldo* - Holiday in Spain [Counting Crows] * was rumoured to move ...

Day of Desserts! Went to celebrate a friend's birthday at Swensen's . Tried their Sizzling Pan - Walnut Rocky Road - Choc pie with choc ice cream with butterscotch & marshmallows topped with walnuts and choc chips in a sizzling pan.. absolutely sinful. ♥ Then we had Choc fondue..but it wasn't that fantastic (for me) as it was dark chocolate..prefer the hazelnut choc one! Cheers to you JM! Lots of Hugs and Kissies!

This time the story revolves around Percy - who is a Greek demi-god who gets switched into the Roman Camp by Juno/Hera. He has to work with the Roman Demi-Gods (kids who has 1 parent whose a Roman God/dess) on a quest to release Death and save all of them from being destroyed. Riordan still writes with the same flair that keeps your glued and wanting to know more. I enjoyed this read - only part is that *spoiler alert!*             it's somewhat a cliffhanger! The second book - I didn't really fancy - perhaps I'm too old to appreciate it. It was written by a 13-yr old French Novelist. I wonder if the beauty of the story has gotten lost with the translation. It's a story of 3 girls on a quest to save Fairytale. Oddly, Death is on strike here and t...
