Close Up from Top. Yeah. From the very top floor of the twins (well... almost. Level 83 is just about another 5 more floors to the twins' top most floor).

So, is it really lonely at the top? Not at all, really. Indeed, I had so much fun while I was there. So many things to do... like checking out the cute mini replica of the twins and the other buildings located in the KLCC area. And looking out of the ceiling-to-floor window glass and enjoying the fantastic view of the Kelang Valley. Not to mention the chance to really, really enjoy (without any obstacles in the front) the beautiful landscape of hills, mountains and greenery of the Kelang Valley. And... oh... was that 'Genting' over there? Yes, it was! Majestically sitting on top of one of those mountain of the very lush and green Titiwangsa Range!

And, believe it or not, when I turned to the western side of the tower, I could even see a 'glimpse' of the watery Straits of Melaka. Yeah, you read that right. The Straits of Melaka... that narrow strip of sea which separates the western part of Peninsular Malaysia and the eastern part of Sumatera Island(Indonesia). Truth is, I was told that on any clear day, you can actually see places as far as 50 kilometres away from the tower! Ehmmm... I then wondered what else could I see if I were to go all the way up to the top-most floors... Level 88?

Well... I did exactly that! But then again, that was entirely another different story.

By the way, these photos were taken more than a year ago. And I've been told that major renovations had took place at Level 83. So, I guess, the place looks compeletely different by now. More 'grand' looking, I suppose. Well... if you have had the chance of going all the way up to these floors... maybe you would like to share those photos of the 'new-look' Level 83. That would be really, really 'grand':)

How do they keep this tallest- of- all- twin towers- in- the- world sparkling clean at all time? Do they use hi-tech machinery? Or is it done by fully automatic glass-cleaning devices? These thoughts had always came into my mind whenever I look at those glittering towers. Untill one day... I happened to witness the maintenance work done onto the towers. The towers were actually had been kept sparkling & glittering clean by .... MEN! Yeah... by using 'real' human hands.

These cleaners would get into a device called 'gondola'... some sort of a metal basket which is big enough for 2 adults to move around comfortably (if you can call 'moving-around- in-a-limited-space- enclosure-which-is-hanging-high-in-the-air-at-400 meters -or more is a 'comfortable' experience....) and slowly they would scale the towers right to the top! Whoa! I dont know about you, but this job is definitely not for a faint-hearted person like me.

But then again I was also told that these cleaners are highly paid. Especially for those who scale up and clean the top most part of the towers... the antennas (pinnacles)!

Oh my god... sitting in the gondola and being lifted up high in the air and then using your hands to clean those cladding & glasses of the towers is one thing....but to 'CLIMB' those antennas is truly another thing! Yeah, they actually do 'climb' or scale up those antennas. Talking about it make me feel giddy already!

KUDOS to these brave people. And THANK YOU so much for keeping Malaysia's pride looking clean, sparkling & glittering at all time:) Can you imagine how the towers would look like without them...? Would you dare enough to take up the 'challenge' ....? Moi? Lets just say... I'll be more than happy just to 'do' the floors, thank you...:)

The next time you visit the PETRONAS Twin Towers...do like the (some...not all though) Japanese and Korean tourists do: Stand in the EYE of the Twins!

Yeah, you read it right. Eye of the Twins. What is, and where is exactly the 'Eye of the Twins' located?

Well... it is not that difficult to find the 'eye'. Just go & look out for the Philharmonic Hall. Then proceed to the main lobby on the Ground Floor. It is actually located right in between Tower 1 and Tower 2 of the twin towers. Now... look up above your head. You will see a huge, beautiful, expensive looking chandelier

hanging from the lobby's ceiling. Go right underneath this chandelier. Now... look down on to the floor.

You are now actually standing right in the middle of the 'Eye of the Twins'!

And what made those Japanese and Korean tourists flock to this very spot whenever they come into the towers? Why exactly do they do that? I had asked myself the very same question many times, so one day, after gathering enough courage, I went ahead and asked one of the tourists.

With such a genuine wide smile, the Japanese lady (whom I approached) explained they have heard (rumours? joke? gossip in X-File magazines? 'Ju-On' spin-off stories?) that the very spot is considered as the 'heart' or 'centre' of ENERGY of these twin towers. Now... who told them that? The actual fact is 'almost-quite-not-true'... right KLCC?.

And she continued... these two towers are like 'two-huge-tall-and powerful-antennas' that reach all the way from earth right to 'heaven'(sky) and thus retrieving all the 'positive energy' of the 'other world'(space). She then bowed, and gracefully and hurriedly walked back to her group and tried to squeeze herself in between her friends who had already stood and 'crammed' themselves in the small circle of the 'eye'. Talk about 'energy'...

Whoa....! You can imagine that my jaw dropped all the way to the floor while listening to the lady's explanation. Yes. Whoa! Whoa!! WHOA!!! Do I believe it? Do YOU?

To me, these towers look

more impressive at night time.

They are absolutely stunning-looking.

No matter from any angle, any distance and anyway and anyhow you look at them. They are simply gorgeous looking!
