Tag: Kuala Lumpur

I know I wrote earlier that I would love to discuss about the Asian financial crisis but I have been busy. Two papers are due and I need to find some motivation to finish it. Hence, this blog has been left idle for the past, roughly, 60 hours. I know that the last time that happened was when I went hiking in Endau Rompin. I also know that visitors tend to flee dead blogs.

So, let me share with you a simple photo from my latest excursion in Kuala Lumpur.

I managed to climb the staircase of one of the towers of the old railway station. Though I was quite excited to be able to get to the top of it, knowing that not too many people get to do what I did, I am disappointed to see the decaying state of such a marvelous and historical structure.

More than 10 years ago, this place used to be busy even beyond midnight. There was life. Nowadays, I think robbery could take place here in broad daylight without too many people realizing it before it would be too late. Sad.

I was so impressed by this courtyard, despite its ersatz appearance:

This was captured somewhere nearby the tables.

I think I should get a DSLR before going to Endau-Rompin later next month.

Remember the day I visited the Eye on Malaysia?

Despite the Eye being the hero of the day, my favorite photo is not related to the RM 30 million ferris wheel. Rather, the subject of my favorite picture is more modest in nature; it concerns a group of bamboos nearby the Eye:

This is definitely one of my all time favorites.
