Day 12 - Visiting Petronas Tower and its Skybridge..

Day 12-KL..

Went up the Petronas Tower and the bridge for a brief 15 minutes tour..



KL Monorail..



The tix to go up the bridge..yes, it's FREE!..but one has to queue to get in (the avg queue time is about 1.5 hrs)..



View of the ticket queue..





If one doesn't come and queue up early, this is the sign of what she or he will get..



The ticket counter after all the tix are sold out..



The pass to go up the bridge..



View of the interior of the bridge..





Looking down from the bridge @ KLCC plaza..



Visited Petrosains, a Petronas exhibit gallery inside the KLCC mall, showcasing science and promoting Petronas..







How to balance 6 nails on a single nail..



Yes, we breathed some supposedly good ol' ancient air..


Neighborhood of KL..







Neighborhood near Central Market (a shopping market for tourists)..And inside Central Market..











At the world famous Petaling Street, an outdoor flea type market..And its neighborhood..











At one of the outdoor food stalls..

 

Day 13-A day in Genting Highlands..

Day 13 - Up to Genting Highlands..Genting is like M'sia's version of Disneyland (the happiest place on Boleh Land)..





































At the bus station in Genting..





Some of the pricey hotel room prices..



Where we had our luncheon..



Supposedly the 2 colorful hotel structures, in the background, have the most rooms for a hotel in all of Asia..



It was sunny on the way up with the cable car/skyway..









But on the way down from Genting with the cable car/skyway..it was foggy and raining..temperature wise, i would say it's about San Francisco's weather/temp.; and it's quite dry too..i was there wearing my blue surfer shorts and tees whilst the other BCers were wearing pants and tees..





..and ended the night driving by the Petronas Tower after the mini-dinner with drifit & other BCers..

 

Day 14-Back to the stadium..

Back @ the stadium & finally meet the rest of the BCers..so, no sightseeing journey..But..

I was staying in this hotel, in Puduraya area, and during breakfast, i looked up and i saw this Taufik Hidayat-look-a-like..i guess he is one of the employees there..i couldn't believe my eyes so i took this photo of him to share with you guys. I also walked by him a few times and he does resemble a bit like Taufik..From the front, he also looks kinda similar...i wonder if he knows Taufik and if anyone has ever mentioned that about him?!?!..



After the Friday night's match, went to eat at a nearby Indian mamak restaurant..apologize once again for the food pics..

 

Day 15-More KL..

Day 15-More KL...

After the Uber Cup Final, took limsy out for a shabu2 and grilled dinner (no, it's not a M'sian specialty but limsy was so hungry and was craving for something a bit different)...i think that was the 1st time i've seen him really enjoy & got down w/ his meal....sorry again for the food pics..





Then we hit the road to Bukit Bintang (Starhill) and Pavilion mall area to experience the KL night life..The area caters mostly to high-end retails & shops and during weekends, it's the happening place in KL..

 

Day 16-Rest day & spent time with the rest of the BCers..

..there are no pics for Day 16 as it was a resting day and spent the rest of the day with other BCers..pics on the other threads..

 

Hope to see you in the next BC gathering..

..sorry you couldn't join us this time around, avataar. Yes, the M'sian BCers exceeded my expectation too. Hands down top of the line hosts and hostesses!!..

For the next big BC gathering, i'm sure you will not miss it. Psst, circle your calendar for 2012 OG in London..

 

^^can someone tell us how many bowls of rice are there??..^^

..yes, this is the proof of the appetite you had that night..

Btw, i just realized we didn't take a pic of us together?!?!?!..how can i forget?!?!?!..*slaps hand on forehead*..
that means i will have to visit you again in the future..
