A weekend in KL

For once in a very long time, you will have a "report" on one of my trips that isn't several weeks/months late :P

I was in KL for the weekend, to catch up with some friends. I was there for two full days; since I'm not working yet, I could leave Kuantan on Friday and return on Monday.

I met up with friends...

Alvin and Teik Siang

Lai Shin and Win Nie

Hung Jen and See Hua

...tried some KL specialties...

a famous porridge place in Petaling Street

famous chilli pan mee...without the chilli
(We're supposed to mix it all up)

and this is the chilli which was on the table (add to taste (Warning: It is hot!))

cendol, which isn't exactly a KL specialty...we had it in a Nyonya chain restaurant in The Gardens (an extension of Mid Valley Megamall)
In my opinion, the ice shavings weren't fine enough. As for the taste, it was okay but I still prefer Kuantan's famous one! :P

...took some touristy photos along the way...

Masjid Jamek from the LRT station

from the gate

Petronas twin towers with KLCC

to get the towers alone without the two building beside them, I had to cut off the shopping centre as well :/

view from the bridge in the KLCC park

closer view of the dolphins

Is this drinking water?

we can see the KL tower from there

in KLCC itself...I just thought it looked nice :)

view from Wangsa Maju LRT station (in the morning)

the same view at night

...checked out some hotels...

this is the entrance to Meridian (just beside KL Sentral)

creative and a little ghostly, so Win Nie decided to add some "flavour" to its ghostliness :P

...and discovered Desa Parkcity.

photo taken with flash

same view, night setting (I can't decide which is better)

different scenery, with flash

same view, night setting

Which do you prefer, the photos taken with flash or with the night setting?

I even got a convocation present from Lai Shin.

Well, now I can say that I do have a graduation hat and gown...only that they're too small for me to wear :P

Professor Bear says: "Welcome to my office."

"Excuse me, I am very busy. I have to get back to work."

Okay, that's it...will blog more about my previous trips.
