the second tallest.

On Sunday, 19 May 2013, my family and I had a great time at Menara Kuala Lumpur a.k.a. the KL tower. My cousins, aunts, uncles and grandmother were there too, and we had high tea to celebrate a belated Mothers' Day. It was indeed HIGH tea, since we had it in the revolving restaurant... 

HERE.

KL tower!
At 1381 feet, it is the tallest tower in Malaysia after the Petronas Twin Towers.
Malaysian pride, yo!

You see the pod? Part of it is a revolving restaurant, which we had our high tea in. It's called Atmosphere 360 since it spins a full round in two hours, giving you a beautiful view of the city of Kuala Lumpur as you enjoy your food.

These are the twin towers, obviously the main attraction of the view. ;)

Anyway, we entered the building at 3 something in the afternoon, where we waited in the lobby for quite awhile because the place was packed. As we waited for the elevator to arrive, I couldn't help but take a picture of the magnificent ceiling in the lobby.

JUST LOOK AT IT. WHAT!? IT'S A CEILING, YES.

tickets ;)

Anyway, when the lift arrived, my family was just there being jakun.

My family, everyone. 

We went up so many floors; I lost count. When we reached a certain level, my ears started to pop. Pressure.

And after a loud "ding!", the doors opened, and we were presented with a really nice galaxy-like lobby, with the restaurant's sign and, on the floor, how many metres we were in the sky. Check this out!

woo!
282 metres!

And in we went to the restaurant! :)

Panoramic-ish view of half of the restaurant. I tried my best! 

We started pigging out...

food food food food food

Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling too well that evening, so I only ate two plates. WHO ON EARTH EATS TWO PLATES OF FOOD DURING A BUFFET?

Oh, and here are some interesting facts about the restaurant's... toilets.

These doors are done by my second uncle's woodwork company.
And look at those handles; apparently, they cost over four thousand ringgit.

This handle is the toilet cubicle's handle. It's over a thousand.

And this sink is the coolest sink ever. You see that cross on the top right?
Just touch the cross and the water will flow out of the slit in the middle.
So darn cool (y)

And of course, a mirror selfshot with the cousin.
HA WE'RE SUCH GIRLS.

Ooh! Another interesting thing about the restaurant:

Here's my dad posing with an awesome-looking door. It's the entrance to the restaurant captain's door.
My uncle also designed this! :D

and then, my grandmother was presented her Mothers' Day gift: 

A CHEF HAT!

Aw, doesn't she look cute?
And by the way, my father wanted to pretend to be like her, so he took a napkin
and wrapped it around his head. LOLOL.

And then we started getting bored of the food and stuff, so I decided to test out sitting and eventually lying on the glass windows. It's actually kind of comfortable, but when the doubts of the glass breaking creep into your mind, you'll never go near those windows ever again. I mean imagine, the whole KL city lying beneath you, and all you see are trees, buildings, highways... and you're just there, lying on top of it all.

CERTIFIED EMO PICTURE.

Then, my dad did the most awesome thing ever. He spread out on the window, feet on the frame, stomach facing down, and limbs splayed out. He looked something like this, but this is ME doing it. Everyone was like WAHHH YOU SO BRAVE AH JESSICA!

This is my favourite picture ever. I mean look at this! I look like I'm skydiving without a parachute.
Oh KL, how I love you! *embraces KL with a big hug*

So there's my day at KL tower, and here's a picture of me 

while I sat with the city in the background. :D

And a pic with the fam:
