I know it's been awhile since I last updated my blog. I'm ready to start fresh by introducing more photos to spice up my blog. Since I don't have a specific theme for my blog, it's time for me to adopt one, which I'll let reader (and potential reader) to know more about my birth place, Kuala Lumpur.
Welcome to Kuala Lumpur! OK, that's not the translation of the sign, just a welcome note to my "improved" blog. The sign actually shows "Border (of) Federal Territory Kuala Lumpur". When you see such sign in KL, it means you are actually entering physical boundary of KL. This photo is taken at Jalan Kepong, outside Kepong police station.
Speaking of which, a lot of places "claimed" to be Kuala Lumpur, but actually it's not. Famous bread Gardenia factory is not in KL, although the company name stated so. Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is NOT in KL, even the previous airport is not in KL either. The former is in Sepang, while the latter is in Subang. The only airport that is really in KL, is in Sungai Besi, which is now under the Royal Malaysian Air Force.
If people tell you that they are staying in KL, they do not necessary mean within the real boundary of federal territory. Sri Damansara for example, is NOT in KL but road sign and address stated Kuala Lumpur, which is so wrong. Ampang should have been in KL (in historical sense), but actually it's in Selangor.
If you are expecting to see more about these following famous landmark (and touristy spot), I might be doing some write up about it in the future.
Used to be the famous landmark for a lot of postcard, Sultan Abdul Samad Building. Now, it is taken over by another landmark below. This place has a very interesting history and the building itself is more than what you've been told by the tour guide. I'll might feature this in my blog in the future.
Ah, who can't recognised the Petronas Twin Towers. For those of you who has watched the movie "Entrapment", do not believe everything you saw in the movie. I will explain more about Petronas Twin Towers and some of the fabricated facts used in the movie.
