Titiwangsa Lake Garden – the _

[1038] Of Eye on Malaysia

Right after work yesterday, I gave Titiwangsa Lake Garden a visit. Though the place was still in a mess with a lot of work still needed to be done as of Friday’s evening, the place was a cool place for photography. Armed with my tiny camera, I set my eyes on the Eye on Malaysia.

From the other side of the lake, the ferris wheel looks impressive:

After spending RM 30 million, it better be.

And finally, inclusive of the city’s skyline:

There were many other like-minded persons patronizing the lake garden. Some of them have big ass cameras. All I could say is that, I am envious!

So, Happy Visit Malaysia Year 2007.

But this year, Malaysia is 44 years old, not 50.

[1011] Of canoes at Titiwangsa Lake Garden

Last Friday, I was at the Great Green Promotion, organized by the Malaysian Nature Society. On the way back to my place, I stopped by Lake Titiwangsa. It’s been awhile since I last visited the place and I was curious if it has the same atmosphere it had when I last was there.

Large section of the park is under renovation, probably related to the Eye on Malaysia ferris wheel, for the Visit Malaysia Year event:

KUALA LUMPUR: A 60-metre high structure ‘Eye on Malaysia’, similar to the ‘London Eye’, will be unveiled at the launch of Visit Malaysia Year 2007 on Jan 6 at Taman Tasik Titiwangsa here.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, at a click of a button, would light up the Ferris wheel with 42 gondolas to start the celebrations.

I also brought my camera along and took some snapshots. The one I like the best, from a pool of mediocre photos, is a shot of canoes:

One thing for sure, the park felt smaller.
