Kuala Lumpur City Centre

It's not a new place, it's always there and everyone once was there. Well, at least the citizens of Malaysia.

My friends and I spent a day around KLCC, front back inside out last weekend or I should say the weekend before.

I kinda didn't have the mood of twin-tower-shooting-mode. Maybe it's KLCC. It's twin tower. You can see this anytime you want. Something like that. And I tried to seek for something else rather than the two exact same building that standing in front of me. That's when I was trying to hard to think of how to shoot and I got nothing heh.

So there, I left only twin tower shots...









Since we were there kinda follow the situation kind of thing, so we dropped by Petronas science center, PetroSains. Pretty cool things, pretty fun and I should been there the first year I'm here but I didn't because yeah, it's KLCC, it's twin towers. You can come here anytime you want.



Not to waste the journey we also dropped by Muzika. I would call it music centre hehe.


@ Muzika

The name itself tells you what it is. There, I do not have to describe much. They show you how things sound like, how sound is made and how fun sound or rather music is. What do you know I felt like I was in the lab doing my research O.o||







There are many fun things to test, try and play with. But there's one thing pretty impressive is the music globe or was it the music world. It's the globe with white buttons on to indicate the countries around the globe. Okie, how it work is put the earphones on and there was this hook for you to tab on the white button to hear the song from the country that you tab.


The music globe

Next, we proceed to the Petrosains. There are a lot of things and I don't think I could upload all the photo here, you can check it out on my facebook album and tell me which one you like.










It was pretty tiring actually. Never expect that there are things to go around KLCC haha. Okie, maybe it was just me.

Oh by the way, for those who interested to go to Petrosains, the price for the aldult is RM 12 but if you want to include Muzika, you just have to add another RM 3 on it. Hope you have fun and do tell me about it if you went.

It all because of Stupidity

Here's the thing, if you're hygiene and love cleanliness, that's great. But when you overdo it and/or do it with your stupidity I think you might as well die dirty.

The day before I was woken up around 5.30am, yes in the freaking morning before the dawn break, by a very loud noise. Out of the blur, all I saw was my desk and my laptops were soak in soap water. Out the window this is what I saw...



Without thinking I just quickly dried up and clean up the mess. While cleaning I thought, who the heck will clean the house at this hour... continue wiping.... my family photo, my laptops, my back up disks, my speakers, my everything on the desk were wet... the fire was burning me inside out. Who the fuck so stupid will put the bucket and the mop by the window that barely has any space sided?

He or she has one brain but it ain't working~!

This is not the end. After cleaned up, I went out side the house and check the above floors and saw the damage from outside...


My window was broken very badly. The frame was out shape and the glass was totally gone.



According to the scene and the left over pieces, I assumed the above floor tenant was trying to clean God-knows-what-the-hell-is-that near the window, hence, they put the bucket and mop by the window and it slipped out and fall right on my window.

I first wasn't very freak out by this because accidental might just happen out of carelessness that's why it is call accident. But when I was trying to move the window in a bit, pieces of glass started to drop, there I STOP. And it got me the whole morning and keep thinking if it drop and hurt somebody down there. I had to leave office and settle the damn window by take down piece by piece of the broken glass.

While I was at it, my friend and I walk door to door and asked 'Whether or not they have lost the mop and a red bucket? and whether they usually wake up early in the morning?' It narrowed down to one house, one room and one girl.

I got her name, I got her contact but I didn't call her. I left her a note and show her what happen to my window. Yes I know, she most likely will do nothing about it and won't admit she did. Even though, she kept it to herself and kept quiet, she will live with guilt for the rest...at least couple of days or weeks!

Bukit Tinggi

As I mentioned in the last post, I went to Bukit Tinggi when I was supposed to stay at home and working heh. I know, I'm such a lousy student. O.o|| naaa I need a break though :P
So we left real early, about 6 to 7am we were already having breakfast in KL. After breakfast we head to Bukit Tinggi where I have no memory about the road at all because I was catching some z in the car T____T

There, we reached~ There are 4 main places you can visit if you're at Bukit Tinggi.

1. Japanese Village, the Botanical Garden that is quite forestry and birdy













and the Japanese Tea House accompany by the waterfall and spa suit that could cost you about RM 400 for one and a half hour body massage T____T









2. French Village together with the little European village and surrounded by hills




You will also notice there were two pairs of swan swimming at the front gate little pond


3. The rabbit park, Donkey ride and Horse trail


This little fella so energetic and adorable

I didn't go to the Donkey and Horse area, the entrance were charges and there's nothing much to see (we can catch up by just standing from the other side of the fence)

4. The sport complex




I don't mean to be rude, but yeah that's pretty what they have for sport complex beside the Golf field and bowling hall.

After realizing that we had discovered almost everything, we decided to stick around a little bit longer and take some portrait shots. It was a great idea, I can learn how to take portrait :P



This handsome man, you probably already knew him, is Dennis


And this good looking man is Ted





This is our beautiful and super poser without telling much, Joanne



I learn this style from one of my friend who taking photo for a living T____T when can be such creative and be more professional >_< *sober*

We already planned for this weekend. Oh~ please God please... don't let anyone ruin my plan again T____T||
