Have you ever dream of going up right to the top floors of the PETRONAS Twin Towers? Wonder what you may find on those floors? Heaven on earth? A glimpse of an 'Eden of the East'?

Wonder no more! Errr... you can continue dreaming, though :)

Take a look at these photos. They were taken at Level 83 of Tower 2 of PeTT.

On this floor, you will find a beautiful viewing gallery. And these models in the photos are two of the main attractions found on this floor.
Well...what IS the major attraction then? Off course the view, dear! You can see almost all parts of Kuala Lumpur city centre from here. Infact, on a very clear day, you can see as far as 50 km ahead! And if you are lucky enough, you can even catch the glimpse of the Straits of Malacca (that narrow strip of sea separating the Peninsular Malaysia from the Sumatera Island of Indonesia...the busiest straits in the world! A pride of the Malay Archipelago region).

Unfortunately, this privelege is specifically reserved for VVIPS only. From the Ambassadors to the ministers and the Head of States...these lucky lots would have the opportunity to enjoy the spectacular view frm this floor. And me? Just say that I am among one of those very, very lucky ordinary mortal who happened to be at the right place, at the right time...and most importantly... with the right people :)

Tun Mahathir's office is located on one of those highest top floor of PETRONAS Twin Towers! Well....at least that's what my friend told me.

I guess Tun does deserve it anyway (having an office located on one the top floors in a building complex recognised as THE tallest twin buidings in the WORLD! And they are still, in 2008, the tallest buildings in the Malay Archipelago region).

These glorious structures were one of his towering visions for Malaysia when he was then the 'Number ONE Man' of the nation.
Here's wishing our dearest Tun, very much well in advance..... a very, very HAPPY MERDEKA!

Rare' & 'raw' but nevertheless interesting pictures of the PETRONAS Twin Towers taken frm two different angles in two different time-settings.

Is it one of those mysterious lines and drawings left by the mystical culture of Mayan people(yeah...same people who had created tablets of a very,very long list of days and dates known as the 'Mayan Calendar'...which mysteriously and abruptly ended on the 21/11/20012...)?



Or...is it indeed a sketch of an ancient picture drawn by a 'big-foot-like-being' found on a wall in a cave in the remotest corner of a virgin rainforest somewhere in Pahang or Johor of Malaysia?

Or... is it one of those weird drawings normally found in the tombs of those pre-historic pharaohs?

Or ... could it be that this is actually a pictograph loaded with symbols and scientific codings left by those greenish 'ET' beings???

Welll... really hate to dissappoint you...but this is a sketch found on a wall on one of the top floors of the PETRONAS Twin Towers! It was hidden somewhere in the corner at the back of an empty office lot.

Probably, on a one lazy, hazy, humid afternoon...after a heavy good meal...one of the workers decided to become a bit more creative than his usual self in spending the rest of his lunch break hour. Hence the drawing! He might have not thought much about it later, but this drawing of his has became one of MY most favourite 'icons' of the PETRONAS Twin Towers!

Thank You, SIR! Wherever you are now. But, if you do, in any which way, stumble upon this blog of mine, please, please be kind enough to say HELLO to me :)

Those gorgeous looking tallest twin towers in the world... the
PETRONAS Twin Towers!

The cineplex where i went to watch the movie 'Faana' is located
in a magnificient 6 floors of 250 shops mall attached to the base
of these very, very tall structures.

Last Friday i went to see 'Faana', a Hindi film, at the cineplex in Twin Towers in KL. Guess who i saw?
None other than Mrs Khan & her 2 kids! Not very sure which 'Khan' i was referring to?
Well... hint, hint, hint. What about... 'Pardes'? Ermmm... 'Dilwale Dulhania bla bla'? Then try 'Devdas'. Yup. I mean...
THAT 'Khan'. SRK.
Shah Rukh Khan!
This is NOT the cineplex i was talking about! This is the 'PETRONAS Philharmonic Orchestra Hall'. Its AWESOME!


Saw his wife... Gauri Khan & her entourage. They were actually sitting right infront of me. Very unfortunate though... Mr. King Khan himself was not seen anywhere in the cinema hall. Yes, you bet, i actually DID look around half expectingly to spot him hiding somewhere at a corner in that dimly lit cinema hall. Nayyy... no luck!

Well.... Khan's kids look truly adorable. Especially the boy. If i'm not mistaken, i've read somewhere... the boy name is Aryan? He was so, so cute & seemed to be quite 'hyper'. He gave many 'long looks' at me. There was even a moment when i thought he was about to approach and say 'hi' to me! But mommie dearest seemed to manage to 'remote-controlled' him and pulled him back to his seat.

Surprisingly though, it was actually the smaller one, Aryan's sister, who seemed to have inherited SRK's look. But then again, when it comes to 'cheekiness' & 'hyper-ness'... make no mistake... Aryan seems to be a 'carbon copy' of his Dad.

To Shah Rukh & Gauri plus those 2 gorgeous kids of theirs .... may you have a wonderful time in Kuala Lumpur & Malaysia! Looking forward to watch SRK's 'Don'. And when i do...i would never forget those 'long looks' Aryan gave me :)
