  • A Walk At Chow Kit Area

    A Walk At Chow Kit Area

    A Walk At Chow Kit Area – Under the scorching Sunny heat, with dusty breeze from the road blew occasionally, the sound of motor engine can be heard passing by, I was walking at Chow Kit area. Took the LRT from Kelana Jaya to KL Sentral, interchanged to monorail to Chow Kit then I alighted. I should have taken the LRT and interchanged to PWTC instead. The monorail is slow and expensive!
    Clean and green sidewalk. I like.
    I was in town in the morning yesterday, to check out a place that I found in Chow Kit which to be designed for my final design project. Site analysis is a part of every of my project and so, a visit to the place is a must to study, to see, and to photograph.
    This indirectly gave me an opportunity to explore another side of Kuala Lumpur – Chow Kit, a place that known much as the red light district, black and dirty zone. Indeed, but Jalan Ipoh on the other hand is clean and green, surprisingly. Some places is clean, some places is dirty. That’s the problem of KL, not every corner are well maintain which is kinda sad.

    The place have potential to be revitalized into a new district because the architecture at there is very retro and have feeling. If it’s not the assignment, I would not have come here already. You know right, you have to be careful when walking around KL city.
  • Sunday Night At Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpu

    Sunday Night At Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpu

    Sunday Night At Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur – Sunday night was blue because it’s work the next day. Spending time at home is just bored on a Sunday night and some times can be moody. Petaling Jaya has no hangout spot, I am not saying shopping mall because it’s pretty much a confined space with shops. I prefer street, strolling in the city, walking, seeing life & tourists. How I wish my work, my school and my house are all in the city, so I can do street photography and explore city’s corner easily.
    So, I decided to go to downtown Kuala Lumpur yesterday night with a couple of friends – Beng Tian and Hock Sheng, both high school mate from Penang. My craving for photography is back recently, Petaling Street is a good place for photography with much culture, people and tourist, and there’s also has a nice Claypot Lou Shu Fen which we went for dinner.
    I haven’t really been to Petaling Street at night, thinking that it’s pretty quiet on a Sunday night, turned out I was wrong. The place was happenings, filled with tourists mostly, and foreign Bangla Myammar Indian worker selling imitation products. Surprised to find that there’s actually quite a few nice food stalls at there too which booked my next visit to taste them out.

    A dinner and some stroll in the city really filled and cheered up my blue Sunday night. I love city, how about you?

  • Sunday, Hock Sheng, Crowded H&M, Sunset From LRT

    Sunday, Hock Sheng, Crowded H&M, Sunset From LRT

    Always crowded Pavilion Shopping Mall.

    Sunday, Hock Sheng, Crowded H&M, Sunset From LRT – Very random last Sunday with eating pork noodle, doing some gym, head to town with Hock Sheng – high school friend, and took the LRT back. I have been isolating myself for a couple of weeks and it’s time to release myself from my tiny full-of-entertainment relaxing rented room to head to town, breath some fresh air, window shop the shopping mall and eat.

    I am weird, I like to stay in the room, and yet I like to go out. Can you explain what do I really like actually? At some point of time, I enjoy staying at home, enjoying the TV, blog, music and Internet, then I am also an outgoing one, check out new stuff, new place, and buy thing. @@

    The queue!
    Very cool interiors.
    I want more, please! I shall go to the Europe, the Sweden as I heard it’s even cheaper there, true?

    Actually, the main reason I went to town was to check out the newly opened H&M at LOT 10, Bukit Bintang, took the LRT there and not-surprisingly, there’s a queue line outside and luckily it’s not hot and got in in about less than 10 minutes. 3 floors, ground and first floor are ladies’ and the 2nd floor is the man’s.

    Amazed, happy, shocked with the low price and choices, I bought a couple of shirts. The price is good! Shirt starts from RM39.90, what do you think? Best of all there’s XS size for little body size like me, but then not much XS/S available. It’s very crowded and happenings, people queuing for fitting room and cashier. I suggest you to go on the weekday or wait for the new one at Setia City Mall @ Setia Alam, Shah Alam.

    Almost sunset from Pavilion bridge to KLCC.
    Sunset from Taman Bahagia LRT station. Good bye.
    Went to Pavilion for a break at Snowflakes, chit chat with Hock Sheng, talk about some random stuff and his life in KL. Window shopped a bit and then, home we go and I manage to catch the sunset from the LRT station before headed to the carpark. Sunday, that’s it, fun.
  • KLCC And KL City Walk

    KLCC And KL City Walk

    KLCC, KL City Walk And Christmas Decorations At Pavilion
    #1.

    KLCC And KL City Walk – Few weeks back, I went to Kuala Lumpur downtown alone and armed with a camera. I drove to the LRT station, parked my car there and took the public transport to town. I didn’t want to drive to downtown because I am very sick with the traffic congestion and also don’t want to pay for the expensive parking fee, so I went for public transport.


    #2. The quiet LRT station – Taman Bahagia.

    You know, the week before I went to KL, I drove there, it took me 1 hour plus to reach the Chinese VISA Centre at OSK Tower a.k.a. Bank Of China at Jalan Ampang from Bandar Sunway, from there, it took me another hour to reach Bukit Bintang. It’s really sickening. Only then I know there’s a LRT station right below the place to do the Chinese VISA, so it’s pretty convenient for me to take the LRT.


    #3. Taken from OSK  Building.


    #4. OSK Building and Bank Of China, the place to do Chinese VISA.

    Woohoo, I am going to China for travel soon, so I need to do VISA. Because I was in KL at that time, so I went directly to the Chinese VISA Centre to do the VISA. Normally if I am in Penang, I would just drop my passport at the travel agent, of course extra charges will be applied, and take a longer time too. One thing, please don’t go to the Chinese Embassy on Jalan Ampang, they don’t do VISA there, you have to go to 2nd level of the OSK building.

    After I’ve done with the VISA thingy, I went to Bukit Bintang area for a little walk and look for lunch.


    #5. The real Tong Pak Fu Hong Kong Dessert in KLCC just opened not long. There’s also a dessert shop with similar name in Penang named Tang Bo Fu. Haha.

    Although Ampang Park Station (Chinese VISA place) and KLCC Station is just one stop away, but I was so lazy to walk so I take the LRT back to KLCC, alight and start touring around the place.


    #6: Lovely KLCC Park.


    #7: World tallest twin towers in wide angle!

    From KLCC, I started my journey walking from the shopping mall to the convention center, where there will connect me to Jalan Kia Peng to Pavilion shopping mall and then to Bukit Bintang area.


    #8. Construction in progress.


    #9. Didn’t get a chance to walk on the air-conditioned underpass.

    You know there’s actually an underpass from Suria KLCC to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. The funny thing is the underpass is located in the car park where air-conditioning is not available. And now, they have started to construct a air-conditioned walkway for the underpass. They should have work it out earlier!


    #10


    #11

    Normally, going to Pavilion need to pass through Jalan Kia Peng and you have to walk under the sun and rain. Now they are building a air-conditioned bridge which connects KLCC to Pavilion shopping mall which is very good! They only opened part of it so it’s not fully connected to Pavilion. I was curious, I went on the bridge and see where it’s connected to at the moment.

    It brought me to Corus Hotel, I went down the bridge and found a new hotspot in town – the KL City Walk.

    #12. Free WIFI available at KL City Walk.


    #13. The KL City Walk.

    KL City Walk has a many restaurant located in a alley in between office blocks. Originally, the KL City Walk is just a lorong or lane behind office blocks. It’s then converted into a walking street featuring many restaurants for dining pleasure. It’s a very good idea of converting ugly back lanes into place like this.


    #14. The KL City Walk is quite shady with tall buildings blocking the scorching heat of the sun.


    #15.

    The KL City Walk is well decorated with fans as well as some green plants and trees.


    #16. An unknown brand bubble tea shop with the price of famous Chatime and Gong Cha. o.O

    You can find many office worker dining here during lunch hour and tea time. It’s a hidden spot in town. I wouldn’t have know this place if the connecting bridge from KLCC to Pavilion doesn’t exist. Haha.


    #17.

    I reached Pavilion and saw construction was going on down there. Seems like there’s many construction are going on in the city. Woo.
