So, we have finally come to the end of the blog post.


And finally the end of semester 4. I liked the the IT class so much, it has teach me a lot of things.

My basic skill about IT and anything that is related to computer or the internet are pretty low before this, I don't even have a blog before. But with the help of Sir Ariff as my lecturer in the IT class, I actually manage to get to know a lot about IT's. Like the information that I love the most which is about the World Wide Web and how the internet goes through here and there around the world to connect the information.

And another thing that is catch my attention in Sir Ariff''s class is about the Deep Web also known as Dark Web. I never know the existence about that web before where drug trafficking, organs are sold there, even military guns and many others are there. Wow, talking about a great IT skills to actually pass through security and protocol of internet to actually create one.

Next, I also know and perhaps is now an amateur to use the Canva to edit image, create poster and info-graphic image. With the help of knowledge I get from Canva, I actually do lots of thing with the assignment. One of the thing is to design graphic image to include in the final assignment of the course ware. Though some things like Smartbuilder are pretty difficult to use with, at least I know the very basic skills to use it. The most exciting one is where me and my friend, Helmi created a cartoon educational video using the Powtoons. With the help of Sir Ariff, the Powtoons that me and Helmi created are pretty amazing (for beginners like me a baby try to learn on how to crawl and walk hahaha).

 I also have somehow enhance my skill in creating & writing blogs now. I know how to post, edit a post, copy an embed code, Urls and many more. Though my design in creating blogs are not that good but yeah, as a degree student, Blogs are one of important thing to learn with especially in the IT class. Above all, I think i have slightly improves my knowledge and skill about computers and the internet.

Thank you Sir Ariff for teaching us and guide us to the right path, you stated everything so clear to the point of we did not understand that certain thing, but still, you teach us until we manage to get the idea of it. Thank you Sir Ariff, you're a good lecturer. God bless you. Assamualaikum.

Hello people! It's hard to believe that we have finally reach to the last post of Kuala Lumpur blog...

 And today, we will take a look at the KL Tower and also the one and only, KLCC.

The view of both KLCC and KL Tower. Shot taken from jalan bulatan Kg Pandan.

So, what is so interesting about both of this iconic tower of  Malaysia? People say it a must visit place if you come to Kuala Lumpur.

Well first, we take a look at the KL Tower, which i have visited before.

KL Tower. Shot taken by using my previous smartphone, Asus Zenfone 5.

So here we go,

The KL Tower is a 421m high telecommunications and broadcasting tower which actually appears to be taller than the Petronas Towers, because it is built on a hill. Amidst the city of Kuala Lumpur stands the Menara Kuala Lumpur at 515m above sea level.

Located in the heart of the Golden Triangle, Kuala Lumpur’s business and entertainment district, the Tower is perched at 421 meters /1,403 feet. Bukit Nanas itself, where the tower is built, is 94 meters above sea level. The Tower is the second tallest tower in Asia today.

It's a joke, and everybody knows, that the Petronas Towers are the highest buildings in Kuala Lumpur. Tourists and executives flying in on business class airfares always try to get a good look at the Petronas Towers. Air travel into the city, whether for business or pleasure, is not complete without seeing these marvels of modern architecture from an airline.

It also claims to house the highest McDonald's in the World. This tower has an observation deck, where you  finally can manage to get a bird's eye view of the city.

Menara Kuala Lumpur ranks fourth amongst the tallest telecommunications towers in the world and was constructed over a period of four years and completed in May 1996. Menara Kuala Lumpur is designed to withstand wind pressures of up to 90mph.

Here's a fact about the tower.

Not to forget that there are also a mini zoo located just a few meters from the tower. It's called KL tower Mini Zoo.

All of the photos are taken during my visit to the mini zoo.

And sure there are ticket price as well.

And another shot of KL Tower before we proceed,

So next, we move to KLCC guys!

 The facts are already posted previously using the infographic image, so why don't we go just for a trivia and simple facts about KLCC?

Hello people, we are almost at the end of the week of our blog here.

So today, we take a look at one of the famous night market in KL.

The Petaling Street. 

And this is the location of the Petaling Street :

Take a closer look at the entrance, pretty amazing huh.

Well, Petaling Street is more like a Chinatown of KL according to many people's perspective about it.I mean, just look at the place, it filled with lots of influence from the Chinese architecture.

Petaling Street, the centre of Kuala Lumpur's original Chinatown, maintains much of its traditional atmosphere, particularly at night when vendors fan out their merchandise along the street. 

While you can shop for anything from gems and incense to toys and t-shirts, the true attraction of this night market is in wandering about and enjoying its sights, sounds and energy. Food is plentiful with many scrumptious varieties to choose from; some of the restaurants here have been in business for generations. 

Locals flock to Petaling Street primarily for bargain accessories and great Chinese food. So, go on, be brave - head down to Petaling Street with an empty stomach and an adventurous spirit. Even if you don't spend a cent, (which will be hard because there's a lot of item here...I accidentally bought myself a shirt because it was so eye catching. lol. ), you are guaranteed to have an amazing experience here. 

Just look at all those items there, this is only the entrance.

I personally think that RM100 is enough for you to buy some clothes, souvenirs and foods at Petaling Street, not to forget that other than the Chinese restaurants, there are also halal malay stall around the corner for you to eat. From rice with lauk-pauk, drinks, char kuey tiow, you name it! 

The place will be crowded right after 7:30pm with lots of local people and also foreigner, better watch out for pickpockets and keep yourself comfortable walking in crowds of people.
Petaling Street will be closed starting 10:15pm, so you have that 2hours of adrenaline rush to look at things you wanna buy.

The lanterns are everywhere along the street ! It's pretty and colourful, making the Chinatown Petaling Street looks so alive !

This photo was taken by 10:20pm, people starts to tidy up their stall. And look on how big the place is! 

So i guess, that's it for now. Until next time for the last update, stay tuned !

Take care people !

We're back again, and now...

Hey! Welcome back to my blog people.

So here today, we are going to see one of the main attraction in Kuala Lumpur, The Merdeka Square!

So, what is this Merdeka Square?

Dataran Merdeka, a must visit place for those who roams around the KL city.

•    The Merdeka Square (Independence Square or Dataran Merdeka) is situated in the centre of the city. It's close to the Gombak river, the Masjid Jamek, Central Market and China Town. It's the core of KL's history. Here you find buildings like the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, the Royal Selangor Club, and the National History museum. 

• Some of them peppered with Arabic - Moorish flavour. A 100 metre-high flagpole marks the spot where the Malayan Flag was hoisted on August 31, 1957 signifying the independence of the country from British rule.

 The national flag located at the center of the field, Merdeka Square.

  The Selangor Club, located at the side of the field, Merdeka Square.

   We're starting at the Selangor Club. Seen from across the Padang, which was originally a cricket field.

In 1892 it had 140 members including some who were absent from Selangor. Before there was a club everybody met everybody at Maynards (it means a place where you sell liquors), which was the only European shop in Kuala Lumpur during that time, wow you can actually get a good drinks back then, if only you were a noble,hahaha... Now look at this picture... This is the main attraction located just across the street. The building of Sultan Abdul Samad.    The most beautiful building at the Merdeka Square is, without any doubt, the Abdul Samad Building.    The Sultan Abdul Samad building was constructed in 1897 and designed by a British architect, A.C. Norman, who worked for the Public Works Department at that time. He took into consideration some of the features of buildings in several Islamic countries.    The predominantly Arabic - Moorish appearance of the building suitably reflects the cultural background of Malaysia.    The unique Moorish-style building has a 41m clock tower, more like a Malaysian version of the Big Ben in London. Not really the same but yeah you get me right?    The current Dataran Merdeka has a lot of improvement so far,  here's the list that i know a bit about it. There's a new fountain architecture located at the end of the road around Merdeka Square. There's a new law and curfew which is, the public cannot park their vehicles after 9 p.m, the DBKL ( the law officers of KL city ) also chase out the road hooligans like Mat Rempit in order to keep the peaceful environment. There's actually a shopping mall located under the Merdeka Square, quite fascinating isn't it? The building at the beginning of the Dataran Merdeka used to be a high class royal restaurant by a popular local malay chef. The name of the Restaurant is Warisan. But now it is currently moved to another place, and the building remain to be part of the KL museum exhibits. So, before we end this post, here's an image you rarely see,  The panoramic view of The Dataran Merdeka.   And the location of Merdeka Square ( marked in a red line ) : Merdeka Square from the satellite image.  Source : https://www.google.com/maps/@3.1489803,101.699779,819a,35y,270h,39.22t/data=!3m1!1e3 That's all for now. Stay tuned and Thank You!

One of the hotspot area in Kuala Lumpur - Chow Kit Road..

We meet again people ! So today i'm going to tell you guys about Chow Kit road in Kuala Lumpur.

Ever wonder why the late Sudirman Haji Arshad sang a song about this place?

 " Chow kit road! chow kit road!

  Chow kit road! chow kit road!
  Chow kit road! chow kit road!
  Chow kit road! chow kit road!

  Di tengah bandaraya orang merata rata
  Dari segala bangsa tua atau muda
  Ada yang berkereta ada yang jalan saja
  Ada yang cuci mata ha ha ha ha ha ha

  Di tengah bandaraya
  Yang miskin dan yang kaya
  Bagai satu keluarga bersama gembira
  Ramai orang berniaga menjual apa saja
  Semuanya murah murah ha ha ha ha ha ha

  Indahnya petang di chow kit road
  Kuala lumpur
  Indahnya petang di chow kit road
  Kuala lumpur

  Di tengah bandaraya walau baik orangnya
  Perlu berhati hati di tipu pencuri
  Bila melintas jalan jangan sesuka hati
  Di tangkap mata mata baru padan muka... "

Shot of Chow Kit Road in KL

So what is Chow Kit road eh? What makes it one of the popular destination in KL?

   Basically, Chow Kit is part of a district in Kuala Lumpur. It is located around Jalan Chow Kit and is enclosed by the parallel streets such as the Jalan Raja Laut and Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman. The name Chow Kit came from the name of a tin miner and a municipal councilor, Loke Chow Kit. Check out this image below : 

   Chow Kit road is a busy place,every single day in KL. It is a place where you can buy everything from foods,clothes and even household items.Basically, Chow Kit road has been a reliable place to purchase fruits, spices, meat, vegetables, clothes, shoes and so on. 

   For generations, the Chow Kit is a wet market frequented by many to obtain the freshest ingredients for their household and also for some restaurant owners. This place may not be somewhere visitors may want to visit because it is in fact a wet market but this is the only place where you can try out local foods at a very affordable price, especially for students like us or even a foreigner on low budget... 

   The market here begins as early at 6am in the morning! Can you believe that? So early!
 And what's more is that you can expect to experience lively and culture rich scenes here. Such market is a rare scene in Kuala Lumpur because the development of the city itself. 

  

One of earliest development of pedestrians bridge in Chow Kit.

These images below shows the area around Jalan Chow Kit :

   Though there's a lot of supermarkets grown all over Kuala Lumpur like wild mushrooms, the Chow Kit market endured it all. You guys will be thrilled by the variety of fresh ingredients sold here. If you are a fan of photographing emotions of people and it culture, the Chow Kit market is a great place to start. ( I'm a big fan of KL photography too! )

   While you are here, remember to try the street foods here. All sold at a low price, remember to not overeat. The Chow Kit has gone through good and bad times. To tell you guys one of the worst incident here is that, Chow Kit was nearly demolished to make way to a eleven-storey multipurpose building but was luckily cancelled due to the economic crisis back then.

  It's good to have Chow Kit Road as one of the main attraction here in Kuala Lumpur! 

See you guys next time ! xoxo . :)
