The talk of the Town



Do you know what 'Eye on Malaysia' is?

It is the talk of the Town at this moment and it generated some sort of national pride especially those people staying near KL area. It is the new tourist attraction and it is a 60 metre tall ferris wheel. Record indicates that it is the world's largest mobile ferris wheel and there are 42 air conditioned gondolas. A ride takes about 12 minutes and you can view nearly 20km of the cityscape when you are near the top of the circle.

This is part of the plans for Visit Malaysia Year 2007 campaign and was launched by Prime Minister sometime last Sunday. With the assurance and guidance Marie Callas has given me recently, I am now living my life with a cheerful, positive and compassionate outlook, therefore I brought my kids to the place for some fun and to experience the hustle bustle of the location. The weather was cool that day and it made our moods even better. However we were shocked to see the queue was very long and kind of a disappointed. I talked to someone near the front and he told me he had queued for more than 2 hour! It looks like Malaysians like to queue too, not just Singaporeans. Also the traffic near Taman Tasik Titiwangsa was quite bad.

As the night was setting in, I have to consoled my kids because I told them we would not be riding one today but another time. In the end I took a night shot across the lake and I shall post it here.
