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)

What are they listening to?

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 ...

Come Read With Me (February)

Image
I've got 4 books to share with you for February :) First would be a book given to me by Mariposi (aka Gavin) for my birthday. Was so thoughtful of you! Thank goodness he gave me the English version as I do not think I would be able to tackle the original version (which is in Spanish) as my vocabulary in Spanish is abysmal at this moment. The cover of the book pretty much sums up the story - A novel in monthly instalments with recipes, romances and home remedies. The story is set in a ranch in Mexico. A boy resorted to marry the sister of his girlfriend just so he could be close to her as she was destined to take care of her mother till her mother dies as she was the youngest of the family. I love the way Laura writes and she incorporates a lot of recipes in between the main plot. I just watched the movie (no subtitles!) and it was a good thing I read the book beforehand or else I might have gotten a little lost. They followed the book 100% and it was really good :) For more informa...

Barcelona!!

Be warned: This is a super long post..longer than my Al-Hambra one! I'm finally blogging about my next destination during my trip to Spain.. that is none other than the lovely and quirky.. BARCELONA! After the last day of class (Friday), my friend Nav and I took the bus to Madrid..we booked a flight to Barcelona from Madrid at about 6.30am (i think?) on Saturday morning. We said our goodbyes to our housemates and new found friends, and departed the beautiful Salamanca. On the way to Madrid (last time onboard the efficient and comfy Avanza) I caught Ávila at night and I must say the view was breathtaking, it happened to quickly and I couldn't take the pic on time. Managed to catch the colourful sky though =) Skyline - trust me if was so beautiful in real, the camera gives it no credit at all. We spent the night at the airport, but I didn't get much sleep at all - THANKS to one lousy couple who sat opposite me..that lady had an annoying high pitched laugh..AND SHE KEPT LAUG...
