Birthday Celebration @ KL Tower 26 Jun 2011

My birthday actually was started yesterday night when Daddy bought a birthday cake for me to blow the candles.

It was really a surprise for me as my birthday present is a laptop computer Lenovo ThinkPad. I am so happy for that, I love it very much as it is just fitted with my Prudential’s red color.

Today we decide to go to KL Tower in the town center.

Menara KL Tower is easily Malaysia’s most recognizable and popular landmark.

Constructed in 1994, the tower stands at 421 meters and effortlessly trumps the Petronas Twin Towers with the highest and most spectacular view of the city.

This gleaming tower’s spindle-like apex is visible from almost anywhere in Kuala Lumpur.

Menara KL’s viewing deck is, at 276 meters, at least 100 meters higher than the Petronas Twin Towers’ Sky bridge.

The view is marvelous during the day and even better at night when you can see the entire sparkling city center.

The tower is erected atop the Bukit Nanas (Pineapple Hill) Forest Reserve – the oldest gazette forest reserve in the country, which houses age-old trees as well as flora and fauna indigenous to Malaysia’s tropical climate.

Primarily used as a communications infrastructure, it is the fifth-tallest telecommunications tower in the world.

When it was originally built, the natural surroundings of Bukit Nanas were kept intact to ensure balance in development.

In fact a 100-year-old Jelutong tree was preserved, at great cost, by building a retaining wall around it.

After we arrived at the KL Tower, we bought the tickets to go to the observation deck, we were using lift to reach there.

The observation deck allow you to view the Kuala Lumpur skyline at 276m. At Kuala Lumpur Tower, we actually mean that literally!

The 360 degree view of the deck enable you to see every angles of the Kuala Lumpur city center view from here. It is so amazing!

There is a souvenir shop up there too, selling KL Tower key chains, T-shirts, mugs, and other related merchandize.

After a while, we came down to the ground again and visited other attractions there as well.

We just stroll down mesmerizing memories of old traditional dwellings and architectural of Malaysia’s yesteryear, homes from various states dating back to 17th century with individual cultures and heritage identity predominantly reconstructed in KL Tower’s Flavors of Malaysia.

At the same time, Whilst sampling on typically yet enriched, mouthwatering and authentic flavors varying from traditional Malay, Chinese, Indian and Peranakan ethnic of well-known dishes of Nasi Lemak, Laksa, Roti Canai to sweet savories with Ice Kacang, Cendol and never miss the The Tarik and many more with the picturesque of KL Tower.

At the bottom of the Tower, is a mini petting zoo. Tourists will enable to experience and witness various exotic creatures such as the Iguana, rabbit, geckos, various type of snakes, birds, etc.

It would made the kids so excited about the animals! Just outside the mini zoo, there are a pony ride.

          

Both Issac and Annabelle love the pony ride very much. Both were smiling or laughing during their ride. Daddy asked me to have a try on it as well. I was really so afraid that I was going to burden the little pony!
