KL diaries (Part one): 1MMSC

(repost from dawnbey.net)

I just returned from KL a few days ago and I have to say, I had a blast! It was my first time there and I was so excited to see what people from Singapore kept going there for! For one, Malaysia is a place where food is so affordable!

Tours were conducted by Tourism Malaysia and we were invited to see the 1 Malaysia Mega Sale Launch. Here are some pictures on the launch at Sunway Lagoon! I really would like to go back to ride those water slides :)

Our tour of KL tower

View of KL with the tall brown buildings being Berjaya Times Square I think! It has a indoor theme park with a roller coaster.

The hotel we stayed in

The view from our room! The Sephora building and the jam in KL, hahaha.

Sunway Lagoon, about an hour away from KL. One of the founders, Dr Jeffrey Cheah build this place somewhat like a self-sustaining place. It has a hospital, schools, universities and this Sunway Lagoon resort! 

There are a few theme parks in this resort- a dry one with roller coasters and a viking ship, wet one with tonnes of slides. I’m thinking of going back to ride those slides! And the mall they have has a good selection of shops.

John kicks the Euro 2012 giant ball while I head it!

The chairman of bbKLCC gives us a presentation on the history of shopping malls in KL and the current shopping scene.

The launch venue of the 1MMSC 2012- an ice skating rink! I found it very innovative and entertaining!

The bloggers from Singapore!

Minister of Tourism Dr Ng Yen Yen and other distinguished guest break the ice to launch the event. She's very smart! I admire her for how she is so eloquent and tactful!
