The antics at the Shangri-La penthouse

Continued from My first taste of a Chinese tea ceremony for newly-weds....


After the tea-ceremony we went up the 27th floor of Shangri-La hotel to get to the penthouse.


Oh. Forgot to tell. The tea ceremony was held at one of the halls of Shangri-La Hotel Kuala Lumpur. A penthouse was rented for the family to rest.



While we do have a number of wealthy family members, it's not everyday we get to enjoy the scene at a penthouse, what more at a prestigious hotel like Shangri-La...


So definitely there were some oohhs and ahhs as we checked the lavish rooms and decors which are opulent enough to make it look like we were in a bungalow owned by a millionaire (and we do have family members who are millionaires staying in bungalows at posh areas. It's just they've never bothered to lavish their homes the way a hotel would to a penthouse... that's all...)



Anyway being in the middle of KL's Golden Triangle and on top too does offer interesting vistas...



Mind you. I've been to many opulent places before but almost everytime I tend to be distracted by the view, that is if it is from a vantage point interesting enough. Seems like my 11-month old kid Muhammad Al-Aminul Rasyid shares the same interest...


Meanwhile my mum and siblings kept on enjoying the decor. Here they pretended to be some high-powered captains of industries I guess, hehe...


Another interesting view. Concorde Hotel is down there, Hard Rock Cafe way way down...


The dining room looks good enough for a meeting of top power-brokers...


In the case of our family, it's brokering for tea, or some gossips hehe...


Suddenly someone consciously or not opened the automatic curtains at the living room and voila, the cleaning people happened to be at work right in front of our window!


That got us laughing hard. The kids meanwhile seemed totally dumbfounded. The rather hyper-active Al-Rasyid was unusually glued to his feet...
