The Pizzazzy

It was a short and sweet trip to KL last weekend. Did lots of small things along some of the big things. Me and Bem set off for KL around 12:30 Friday midnight and to our surprise reached early by 4:30 in the morning to our friends place in KL.

After some two three hours sleep we were woken up by the small fisty banging on the door, and it was Aaditya wanting to meet Ana and Missi as he calls Anand and me. And he was rather surprised to find two missis, me and bem.

After much catching up over tea we all set off for Petronas, the twin towers. After going gaga over the beauty of the twin towers we had a good lunch of Chicken Peri Peri at Nando’s at the basement of the Twin towers. This heavy lunch was followed by some shopping in Bukit Bintang. We picked up some tops of local design and make at throw away prices.

The dinner was Masala Dosas in an Indian Restaurant called James at KL Sentral. After reaching home we saw Johnny Gaddar. Good movie.

The next day Bem and me set off early for KLCC again and once again missed getting the tickets to the sky bridge. And for the third time I was not able to get to the sky bridge as we were late by an hour. So if you are visiting KL and wish to see the Petronas Twin towers and visit the amazing skybridge connecting the twin towers you must make it before 10 in the morning.

We then went to Petaleng Street also known as China Town. But unlike china town in Singapore this one is hoarded with fakes of all the big brands of the world. Jimmy Choo, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Guess, Burberry, Tods, Prada and so on. With my eye for details I found them to be just what they were FAKE. So, we ended up buying nothing.

Our next stop was KL Tower, we hailed a cab and reached KL tower. On reaching the top of the tower we realised that it was quite smoggy and we couldn’t site most of the landmarks as per the recording that was playing in our ears. We posed with the Petronas some more, everywhere you go in KL you will only notice the Petronas standing tall among the other buildings.

We took the mono rail ride till KL Sentral. Lunch was a take away from food court in KL Sentral at home. Since we all were feeling quite lazy after the lunch and cane juice we thought of just relaxing for sometime with Bhool Bhollaiya. Another good movie!

The evening was reserved for a visit to KL eye more popularly known as Eye on Malaysia. This was high on my list as it was added only at the beginning of this year as one more attarction in the ‘Malaysia Truly Asia’ programme and was not there during my last visit to KL.

Eye on Malaysia gave a spactacular view of the KL city, although there was nothing much around the city at night except for KL Tower and Petronas on the right hand side. But the night view of Petronas is very dramatic and beautiful like two big jewels. So, we decided to visit Petronas after KL eye and have dinner at KLCC only.

The twin towers looked amazing and we got some nice pictures of the towers with Amol’s Camera. There is something very attractive about the two towers at night. Beautifully lit up like millions of solitaire diamonds, it emits a sort of positive energy and is very soothing to the soul and eyes. You can spend quite an evening watching the beautiful fountain dancing on different tunes under the shadow of the two towers.

After dinner of pasta at the food court at KLCC we went back home. The next day Me, Neelum and Bem chatted for a long time and played with Aaditya before it was time to leave for Singapore. After a good lunch of varan bhaat, we said good bye to Neelum and set off for Singapore.
