Before, During & After Earth Hour

Last weekend i had to do some networking and attend some events, as all were work-related for my company. Before joining the Earth Hour event happening in KL, my colleague and i had to attend the Stylo event that was opened to the public in Lake Garden KL. There was an open, white tent built in the middle of the Lake Garden with food stalls and bazaars set up. Also, there was live performances to entertain the crowd that attended.

I had to stop to get at least 2 cuppies...hahaha

Later after hanging around the Stylo event for about 1/2 an hour, both Kak Nor and i rushed back to the car, as we only had 20 mins to drive to Menara KL to watch the lights off! We were invited to be at the top floor, Tower 5, where we were told that we can see the whole of KL night scene better.

When we arrived, i got so excited when we were escorted to the registration table and we had to sign a form which stated that Menara KL won't be responsible for any injuries/death/lost yada yada..the fact that the tower has a rather low wall (same height as below our knees) or no glass windows to protect us from falling (if a strong wind blows someone off), that really got me excited and nervous at the same time! hahaha...crazy via. We were then given a white ribbon each (the ones people get when they attend the Breast Awareness Campaign) to put on for the event.

After KLCC lights were turned off

We didn't make it to the top on time when the lights were turned off. It was all because of the mini jam caused while we were looking for parking around the Menara KL, so all i managed to capture was the pic above.


Kak Nor

Bernama TV was there conducting interviews with everyone about the phenomenal event of the night! hehehe...(i also got interviewed by them, don't know what i've said and acted but i knew i was babbling about how cool that Malaysia was taking part as well)

The result of waiting for an hour in the chilly darkness?....



...the view of the beautiful and serene lighted KLCC.

I was impressed with the management's way of appearing KLCC from the darkness. The lights were turned on slowly, stage by stage and then whoaaaaaaaaa...Silverish lighted KLCC with soft silver shadows around it. Very sexy indeed. I heard people applausing and gasping with the sounds of 'huh', 'wow', 'hehe', 'whoa' & u imagine the rest... =P It was a breathtaking moment i would say. So pretty! I was happy being there, the chilly wind that blew my hair and dress, the excitement of being there on the unshielded tower and also being with Kak Nor, my partner-in-crime-of-everlasting-craziness-happiness-&-sweetness.

We left feeling contented and a memory to remember for a lifetime.



Luv Luv!!

PS: A big shout out to the GM of Menara KL, En. Nash for the invitation to watch the Earth Hour with the other invited guests. Really appreciate it! Thank you!!!
