My dearest Tina and Gabby,
It was roughly 4 hours since we got home from Kuala Lumpur as I post this. We’re all dead tired from going there from our place in Penang via our service bus but everything was worth it; it was such a fruitful day for all of us.
I was immensely mesmerized by the incredible beauty of the Petronas Twin Towers. Standing below those iconic buildings for the very first time was so surreal that I just wished both of you were with me.
Despite the long day, I was silently jumping for joy upon seeing Malaysia’s pride as world’s tallest buildings before 2004 and what has remained to present the tallest twin buildings.
Suria KLCC 6-level-shopping complex located immediately at the foot of those magnificence houses almost all famous brands. I even saw Harrod’s which was notably high-end English brand with several labels that I only see from broadsheets and magazines.
Good thing was that they’re on clearance sale. My eyes popped out when I saw G2000 formal jackets were discounted for only RM 99 (PhP 1386) from its original price at RM 600+. But my excitement diminished when I found out that their biggest size was only 52 while I wear 54. 
My fellows got some pairs and I just settled for a purple silk tie.
And so I decided to stroll alone and luckily found myself inside Zara Men at Suria KLCC’s Ampang Mall . There I found my size; bought 2 formal jackets (they’re new ones, not overruns) for work and got a nett discount of RM 500 (PhP 7000) from their original prices plus I rewarded myself a Zara Men black mailman’s bag which I bought on its regular reasonable price (I’ll tell you my expenses over Skype, ‘ney).
When I was about to pay at the cashier, your voice saying, “Ang mahal nyan ‘ney, kaunting tipid!” rang over my ears or was it my conscience? LOL! 
In my defense, those items I bought were really work essentials, honey.
My female colleagues went loco over shoes. One even bought eight pairs! I can’t blame them for such great discounts. I told myself I’m fortunate blessed because my wife isn’t fond of shopping for bags and shoes like usual females do.
Here are some shots before we entered Suria KLCC…
Dusk falls over Malaysia at around 8 in the evening. Succeeding photos were taken at around half hour past 6PM.
There are a lot of fascinating sights behind Suria KLCC and below Petronas Twin Towers. We saw an establishment that seemed like a mosque to me…
KLCC Park has jogging and walking paths, a children’s playground and a dancing fountain similar to that of Bellagio in Las Vegas less the music.
While the senior medical-educators went on their way inside the mall, the younger ones took time to kid around…
Apparently, we’re really happy with the experience.
After doing some shopping, all of us met up at around 10PM and headed for our bus back to Penang. We got home in Butterworth at 4:30AM, Saturday.
God willing, I can bring the 2 of you here one day. We’ll see.
I’d like to doze off for few hours more before I start my weekend so bye for now;
Take care and I love you both! -tatay-doc.
The tower really looks good at night. that was a great sale. hehehe wag na lang mag convert para di nakakahinayang. The 3 picture below reminds me of greenbelt or market market
wow, bilis magcomment ha… thanks!
…the mall itself reminds me of greenbelt actually.
tama ka, pikit mata sa conversion! wag na convert, sayang ang sale!
i enjoyed my trip with the family in KLCC too about 2 yrs ago!
i bet you did.
The towers are really stunning especially at night. There colors of the nearby fountain at night complement it.
The next time you visit (with your wife and son), you might want to try capturing it from the other side of the mall, just close to the bank, in order to get the entire view. ;
we saw the fountain in front of the twin towers just before hopping on our bus before we left; some other time i guess. but thanks for the tip; really appreciate it.
I love the pictures, i hope to bring my family there someday too! We’ll see. Like your wife, i am not really fond of bags and shoes too, but sa pagkain, am more than matakaw!
hey, we have something in common –indulging in food!
RM 99 (PhP 1386) from its original price at RM 600+>>> wow! astig sila mag discount.
and i like the KLCC park doc lalo na yung may symbol ng whale sana may mga ganyan din dito.
sobrang saya namin sa discount sa sale dito, dom.
dyan kasi sa atin yung 50% off on selected items lang.
dito i even bought a 350 thread count na king size bedsheet set with 80% off… from RM 149 it was down to R, 29.80; how great was that?
i bought my 2 black coats from zara for only RM 179 each from its original price of RM 700+. …huwag na lang iconvert sa pesos, ok na …

petronas twin towers are indeed stunning pero ang traffic sobra sa KL! i’m glad wer’e based in penang

The twin towers remind me of the Sean Connery movie. Saya ang mag shopping lalo na pag may discount. Lalo na sa clearance rack….
Glad you are slowly adjusting to a new life in a new environment.
Take care.
entrapment, ms. ebie.
who doesn’t like discounts and sale seasons?
thanks.
It does look like you had a wonderful trip to KL. Those buildings are iconic. And yes, Harrod’s is indeed very expensive. In London, when the queen shops at Harrod’s, rumours have it that they close the store for her so she can shop in private.
Have a great start to your week!
Many thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. Come visit again tomorrow!
our trip to KL was short but sweet!
we really enjoyed despite the loooong hours of travel.
nakarating ka na agad sa petronas ang bilis ah.
really happy that you’re seeing and experiencing all new adventures and sharing them with us.
thank you!
.. petronas towers always reminds me of the movie, “entrapment”. =)
…i thought you would remember john loyd-bea movie, “i miss you like crazy” LOL!
I like shopping for clothes at Zara as well. It’s not just the reasonable price I’m after – especially the ones on sale – but the fact that they really fit our Asian bodies very well (alam mo na sa US, ang medium is really like large!).
defintely agree, dennis.
i long to see the twin towers too
