I was lucky to be able to follow the yr 4 DTM studios on their KL fieldtrip to visit some places of architectural interest. I've never been to Kuala Lumpur, or at least, even if I did it must've been when I was a kid as I don't have any memory of the place. Anywayz, the trip was pretty enriching and informative. We went to quite a number of buildings, starting with the LEO, or Low Energy Office. There was a tour and presentation, if interested an get the slides from me. I got take the photograph of the important slides (jhee kiasu~!).


The itinerary included a visit to the Petronas University of Technology, designed by Foster and Partners. It's pretty nice, very impressed by the library, of how the bookshelves are stacked on one another with suspended walkways leading to the books. Also got a presentation on the construction of the university...

We were sponsored a ride on the Malaysian Eye. It's a trend yea? Every self-respecting city would have a huge ferris wheel called the eye or flyer. This one is not particularly massive in size but impressive nontheless. Got a good view of the city but it was drizzling so the glass was quite blurry. Still an experience to remember...

Guess how much money I spent? 80rm!!! I thought it was quite cheap lah. On the 1st night kelvin and I went toy hunting. But, sigh, it was such a waste of time. Not that we didn't see any, it's just too expensive! More expensive than Singapore, so really no point... The food was damn cheap and plentiful though. Overall i enjoyed the trip, though didn't really interact with the juniors. Basically kept to the familiar faces, especially Kelvin. Kampung boys are shy.
