Eye On Malaysia

Did the touristy thingy last Sat. Went to Taman Tasik Titiwangsa for the 1st time after being in PJ/KL for almost 15 years since college days. Was quite lucky to get there without much hassle and was extremely lucky to get a parking space near the entrance to park.

Was quite impressive. the queue was not too bad probably waited for about 20 minutes. But the queue control could be improved cos the guard just simply cut off the queue with a divider when 1 line is much slower/longer than the other and you could almost feel the wrath of the person being just excluded by the divider. We were kinda lucky cos the the fill up the gondolas kinda randomly.....cos there was a 1 gondola with 2 adults and 3 kids and they were looking for a couple to fill up the seats....so we kinda "cut" through about 30 people in front to get on the Eye first.

Was not as scary cat as when I was taking the Langkawi cable car or the Ferris Wheel in Disney Land. Actually heart kinda stopped over-pumping by the end of Round 1 (you get 5 rounds for RM15 per adult). Quite a nice view...the usual suspects....KLCC, hotels and the likes and on the other side....parts of Batu Caves area I think...??!! Weather was superb....breezy and not too hot...was there around 6pm. Went round the lake.....very clean I must say. Maybe all done up for the VMY 2007. Walked and surveyed where to park ourselves for the Laser Show, Water Screen Show and Fireworks....(this is chinaman describing the beautifully sounding activities but essentially that is what it is :) )

Water Show....yawn yawn....have seen better and prob because the Lake is kinda huge and there is only like 1 stunt going on at at time so it is kinda like F1....wait for a long time for the jetskis andstunt to arrive at your corner and gone in seconds......then wait some more.......get few seconds of excitement and .....wait some more....you get the drift.......pun intended. That goes for like 30 mins or so......But if anything thye start on time....9pm so at least you don't wait like dungu.....and they do announce a few times regarding the starting time.

Then the Laser Show, Water Screen Show and Fireworks kinda goes in some pretty nice sequence......the Laser Show is kinda good cos the Laser is powerful and the water screen is pretty fine too so you get a pretty clear projection. I can't remember when was the last time I actually went to see fireworks, so it was quite good......all in all quite nice at least for the 2nd half.......10pm sharp.......it ends. Was lucky cos the "lorong" we parked leads us to the main road, so we managed to get out of the area very fast.
