This is my second attempt on twin towers after
my first KLCC shots on Jun 14. Two & a half month away,
what do I have to offer? I was in & out KLCC for countless
times, not that I work there, but I stay too near the
proximity.. and for solely two purposes: one for Kinokuniya,
and another to do with my camera. Last month, an article
in local newspaper announced that camera and video equipments
are prohibited inside Suria due to security reason,
except the central atrium when events are on, not sure
how true it is, as I still have the intention to take
more internal shots.. Well, looks like I've to hide
my big camera in a backpack next time, in order to do
some 'illegal' things. Don't catch me, I'm a good guy!

I'm very pleased that KLCC was erected years ago, adding
some spice to the boring Kuala Lumpur skyline, and most
importantly, it offers more interesting window views
from my home and office. This Islamic architecture really
amazed me, I can always stand in front of its 88-storey
twin towers, staring at it from top to down (imagine
it's 452m in height), left to right and from day to
night, admiring what Cesar Pelli (& the associated KLCC
architects) has brought to M'sia, what a wonderful masterpiece.
We M'sian should be proud of this once-a-world tallest
and distinctive building. I was once dreamt to venture
into architecture, and God knows why I was forced to
live in buildings designed by architect rather than
being one. Please don't laugh, I do know names like Ken
Yeang, I.M. Pei, Antoni Gaudi, Frank Lloyd Wright, and
my respected Morphosis, who shapes the deconstruction
movement in architecture, no play play.
