Petronas Tower : Bewitched by Two Princes “One, two princes kneel before you.” I was humming the song in my head while walking the long stretch of the crazy Bukit Bintang. My head kept spinning over loud clubs, diverse shops offering different services, restaurants bragging their world class cuisines, towering buildings and seductive hotels all lined-up on the bustling street. It’s like walking in a hippie world of faceless crowds and United Colors of Benetton models. It’s one amazing blend not just of Asian lineage but of the entire world’s descent. “Just go ahead now”, the music continued. But unlike Spin Doctors’ song, these Two Princes I’m after are both rich and perhaps like it’ll be a big headache to tell the difference between them. But little do most tourists know that these two towers where built by 2 competing contractors. The two structural pinnacles atop the twin towers came from different countries – one was made in South Korea while the other from Japan. PETRONAS Towers is the world’s tallest building from 1998-2004 until the Taipei 101 was built. But to date, it remains to be the world’s tallest twin building. I could actually see them from the idle land beside my hostel which is by the way quietly tucked in the midst of Kuala Lumpur near the Puduraya Bus station surrounded by the old colonial district and the Golden Triangle. I thought I could easily reach them by foot since I also saw a lot of tourists walking all the way to the Golden triangle. I prefer walking around the metropolis for most of my trips despite the unforgiving heat of the sun because for me, it is the most effective way of getting acquainted with the city. Well I did reach Petronas Tower but EASILY seems to be the wrong word. And unlike in the Spin Doctors’ song, I was the one who knelt before these Two Princes – the Petronas Tower, while attempting to capture them from its floor to its pinnacle in my lowly lens. But God, they are both so handsome up close! Walking inside the Petronas Towers, one will be rewarded with the sight of luxurious interiors and grandiose intricate details of its fine architecture. The floor is inspired by Islamic geometric squares creating an eight-pointed star reflecting unity within unity, harmony, stability and rationality. A well-crafted masterpiece indeed that perhaps even the best photograph of it couldn’t define its beauty as seen by the naked eye. It maybe another tourist trap and somehow it made me shrink in a world where the posh and the luxurious hang out, but I don’t care. Petronas Towers is love at first sight. The grandeur of the two iconic towers embodies that great spirit of Malaysian dream and ambition. It just feels good to watch them both transform from daylight to darkness. I sat there for 4 hours, enthralled by the Two Princes. **This is part of my Malaysia travel series.** *********************************************************************We have privileged in providing the best prom dresses 2012 along with homecoming dresses, with best quality .

Ang galing ng reference mo don song ng Spin Doctors.:) Happy Holidays! the Petronas twin towers looks great from the outside, but its interiors are fascinating. buti na lang may Petronas sa KL kung hindi I would have skipped this city, hopefully my opinion about this city will change when I visit it again next year. cheers Gael Merry Xmas in my 17 months of working in penang, i have only been to petronas twin towers-suria klcc 3x and each visit is extraordinary. these towers are beyond iconic to me. i am always in awe whenever i see them. did you feel the same way, gael? i guess so. *maligayang pasko at manigong bagong taon, sa’yo gael! I miss this place like crazy! Thanks for taking me to (and into) this exquisite structure, Gael. I love your photos! you must be lucky enough to see this place .. Great pic captured during the night time .. I m waiting for my chance to visit this place in future .. ayos ng spin doctors! Even if people might think this is an overrated tourist attraction, I was rendered speechless when I was in front of these grand towers. Ganda pa rin talaga! i enjoyed reading this “declaration of love” you wrote about these handsome princes. happy new year. The Petronas Towers are amazing! You captured them beautifully here I miss the twins. lovely photos Gael! gosh! ganda ng shots.. ano po dslr gamit nyo? kahit sa loob maganda. learned a lot from this post specially on the info that two contractors actually competed on this and that two countries were behind it’s tip. Ganda naman… Sobra…:) Sitting for 4 hours may sound like torture for some but when you’re stuck with beauty, it must be worth it. Happy New Year Gael! wow lakas ng dating nung 4th photo!luv reading ur post;) nice shots.. ganda talaga nya pag kumikinang.. Ang ganda namn talaga ng petronas tower specially sa gabi.

"One, dhá prionsaí kneel roimh duit." Bhí mé ag portaireacht an t-amhrán i mo cheann agus ag siúl ar an bpíosa fada an Bintang Bukit mire. Mo cheann choinneáil sníomh thar clubanna os ard, siopaí éagsúla ag tairiscint seirbhísí éagsúla, bialanna bragging a bain den chéad scoth, foirgnimh towering agus óstáin seductive uile-lined suas ar an tsráid fuadar. Tá sé cosúil le siúl i ndomhan hippie na sluaite faceless agus Dathanna Aontaithe na samhlacha Benetton. Tá sé ar cheann meascán iontach ní hamháin de lineage na hÁise ach ar fud an domhain ar fad ar ghinealach. Bhreathnaigh an 41,353 uair ag 8008 lucht féachana
