A foggy look at UM's Asian Arts Museum

Yesterday I went to the Muzium Seni Asia or Asian Arts Museum at Universiti Malaya (UM).

There was a workshop on the traditional musical instrument known as Gambus set inside the museum's 1st floor. By the way the picture shows a friend from Aceh posing with a local one...

I took some time to look around and snap pictures.

It happened that my camera fell down the drain while I was taking ablution the previous evening. That caused a bit of water to get inside and fogged the lenses.

So forgive me if these pictures looked a bit foggy.

For the record it was much much worse in the morning.

But after some time the lenses began to recover though it would take more time before the views became normal...

Completing a round of KL aerial views from Bukit Nenas

Continuing from Up the Telekom Tower at Bukit Nenas after 15 years or so.

And so we have covered half a round of Kuala Lumpur or KL aerial views in the previous article.

Going further anti-clockwise, I must complete a round taking pictures.

I've said before that the last time I was up here was 15 years ago or more.

Since then many many skyscrapers have sprouted up and I am amazed at the amount of 40+ story buildings KL now have...

While it was not the brightest day to get best views of the surrounding, the weather though slightly gloomy was good enough for everyone to enjoy the KL skyline...

Up the Telekom Tower at Bukit Nenas after 15 years or so

Today me and family went to the Telekom Tower at Bukit Nenas.

If I remember correctly we last went here last year.

But then we only went around the base.

This time we went up to the observation tower, some 270 metres up from the base.

As usual I started taking pictures for many different angles going anti-clockwise from the entrance.

If I remember correctly the last time I was up here was 15 years or so ago, maybe more.

What I do remember I have been up here quite a number of times when I was still a journalist with the English national daily, The New Straits Times 1996-2001.

I've attended a function or two at the rotating restaurant above this level and was once given 10-20 free passes or so.

Then again the admission ticket was only RM8 those days. Now it is RM29 for an adult.
