Bright Lights

Whenever I hear Kuala Lumpur, one thing instantly

pops into mind...Petronas Twin Towers.

But me and KL don't click together as much as

the other cities I've been to.

Too hot, too humid, that's what I remember about KL

but it all changes when I saw the Bright lights of

Petronas twin towers.

It was like a diamond, a true Malaysian symbol of wealth and power.

Silhouette of Island Explorers

Palau Manukan is like Boracay Island to Malaysians in Kota Kinabalu.

The largest among the three islands we've visited.

While everyone is busy sorting things, I step back a little

and saw this beautiful silhouette of travelers.

Golden Dome

I went out to explore Kota Kinabalu city by foot but

ended up hiring a taxi to tour me around the area. it was too hot that day

I surrender to the sun's heat.

As I saw more of the city, I thought of Manila. They kind of

similar in some ways.

The driver took me to the Masjid Neseri mosque, one of Kota Kinabalu's

main attractions. Adorned with moslem art details and gold, I looked

around for a good angle of the mosque.

I eventually focused my attention at the onion shape dome.

And then I saw it! A golden dome with a blue sky as background.

And I click away.

Went out very happy and contented, I ask my driver to take me back to the

city proper instead.
