This is one of the greatest creation of the human species and I am proud that it resides in the heart of Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur City Centre).I have taken alot of photos of this tower, infact many has, but taking it with a bunch of creative and unique friends is a different experience all itself.

I’m also writing this blog for those who have not had the chance to visit this great structure. Malaysia itself has many facinating places to visit, by reading and following my blogs you will realise this. I’ve seen people of many races and origin lying on the streets of KL just to get a great photograph of this tower.

So let me tell you a little bit of what I know about the Petronas Twin Tower. I was actually in UK when this tower was completed, so I kinda missed the launch of it. But even though I was so far away, it hit the news in no time. All over the world were airing about this tower and at that time it was infact the Tallest Building in the World. After which the 101 Taipei took over in 2004. There are many other taller buildings that are being built, but the Petronas Twin Tower is still the Tallest Twin Buildings in the World.

From my knowledge, this tower stands up with a stagerring 88 floors (they must have chosen 88 as a auspicious number for chinese). It took 7 years to complete and was fully completed in 1998. At the 42nd floor, there’s a suspension bridge that connects both the towers. Visitors can visit this bridge but have to registed at the base of the tower early in the morning for the daily visit. I’ve yet to get a chance to visit this bridge, the queues are almost ridiculious everyday.

Outside at the main entrance is a row of water fountains, taking a photo at the end of this fountain is one of the best spots. We tried a few photography shots, but not all were as good because of the poor lighting at night. I recommend that if you want a good shot of the Petronas Twin Tower, just before sunset would be the right timing.

At the other entrance, namely the back entrance, resides a huge park called the KLCC Park. This is a very good location for jogging as they have a nice track with beautiful views. I remember once the Xtreme Games was held at this park. There is also a fountain here, but this is much better than the one that you get at the main entrance. This fountain follows and moves to a special synchronization with lightings. There is also a playground for children.

The Petronas Twin Tower also features one of the largest Shopping mall, namely the Suria KLCC. Many featured and branded boutiques are based here. Their latest edition is the Harley Davidson where you can purchase their Harley Motorcycle or merchantdise.

To end my blog, I would like to add that the Petronas Tower was climbed by the famous Spiderman (Alain Robert) in September 2009. He tried climbing this tower for a couple of tries but ended being arrested by Malaysian Authorities. Last year he managed to fulfill his dream of scalling the Tallest Twin Tower in the World.

On the second day of our Roadtrip to Perak and Pahang, we woke up quite early. All was awake by 8.30am. The first thing we did was to organise what we wanted to visit that day. After deciding, Robin and myself decided to give it a go at the Guitar for a Jammin session with my Uncle. My Aunt and Uncle were kind enough to let us bunk at their place for the night so that we can continue with our budget roadtrip. Not many is going to believe this, but each one of us had to only fork out a maximum of RM200 for the 3 days trip.

After the Jammin’ Session, we proceeded to Segari, which hosted a Turtle Sanctuary. Going to the place is fairly easy, there are proper signboards leading to this location. There is no entry fees required for the Sagari Turtle Sanctuary. This place is open from 10am till 12.30pm and again at 2pm till 5pm. On fridays it’s closed longer (12pm till 2.30pm) for the friday prayers. It is open every single day of the week.

Here you can see all sort of the Turtles timeline. From small little babies, to the teenaged and right up to adulthood. There is also a turtle egg laying area, but it was closed that day. Outside the Turtle Sanctuary, lies a beautiful and breathtaking beach. I’m not sure what is this beach called, so I’m naming it the Segari Beach. I’ll let the photos talk from now on.

After visiting Kellie’s Castle, we headed to Ipoh area to visit the famous Cave Buddhist Temple and to continue our Perak & Pahang Roadtrip. But unfortunately, it was already closed. We only managed to take some photos from outside.

After the visiting the Buddhist Temple, we went to have dinner at Ipoh town. We heard that the Beans Sprout Steam Chicken Rice was famous there and have to give it a try. It was a corner shop, the deliver the food quite fast. We ordered Bean Sprouts, Steam Chicken, Pork Balls Soup and Kuey Teow Soup. Both our chinese mates had problems using the Chopsticks, the Indian (Myself) and Robin (From UK) managed to show off our skills at the utensils. The food wasn’t as expected. The bean sprouts wasn’t tasty at all. Pork balls soup was good, steam chicken was ok ok only.

After dinner we headed to Taiping. We wanted to experience the Night Safari. Upon reaching there, there was an entry fees of RM16 per person. We had some struggle looking for the Zoo as there weren’t proper signs to the location, and some of them were quite confusing. We were told that the zoo was 2.5kms in total. First round we took the tramps, the driver was explaining as we passed each caged animals. Most of the animals were already exhausted, no not much movements were visible. Some were already asleep and the rest was busy eating. Only the Owls were quite active.

The ride took about 20 minutes. We were dropped at the main again to start out walk around the Taiping Zoo. Unfortunately, both our camera’s ran out of battery due to the whole day trips and hundreds of photographs that we took. Managed to take a few photos as below. Some of us was already very exhausted due to the fully packed roadtrip and we only managed to walk around one section of the Taiping Night Safari.

There were a few electronic and computer survey that I managed to complete right till the end and this gave me hundreds of points.

For every points that is accumulated, we can redeem coupons or vouchers. Those company who are registered with MySurvey Malaysia are Petronas, MPH, Isetan, KFC and many more.

I managed to collect up to 1600 points. For every 500 points, you can exchange to a RM10 coupon on any of the listed company above. A month ago, I decided to claim for the Petronas coupon. I claimed for 2 pieces of RM10 Petronas coupons.

After a long wait, finally the Petronas Coupons arrived from MySurvey Malaysia. I’m planning to give them to my mum who has been driving me to and fro the Klang Bus Station.

Wow, what a fantastic dinner I had yesterday. My mum made som delicious Curry Mee. It had lots of things in it. Chicken, taufu, bean sprouts, eggs, the curry itself was wonderful (well, accept for the fact that coconut milk causes your colesterol to shot sky high). I wanted to go for second round, but there were not much left. It’s been ages since my mum made this special dish. I’ll just let the photo below water your mouth.
