From Petronas KLCC to Dubai - how both fascinates me so much..  

Posted by hidayah

When I was doing my Diploma, I always thought that Petronas KLCC was the best and coolest building ever.Hehe..Eventhough there's not much information that I know about KLCC back then, it doesn't matter. All that matters was I've been to the connecting bridge and saw KL from there. I was proud at the moment since I was a civil engineering student and I got the opportunity to stand on that particular floor.



Well, that was few years back.. then when I was at Iowa State University doing my undergrad, the subject of KLCC was brought up. Why? There was a discussion regarding the tallest building in the world, which was KLCC (at that moment) and since I was the only Malaysian student in my class, I was the "information counter". All questions regarding the Petronas KLCC building was addressed to me. I used all my knowledge (including my visit at the connecting bridge) and try my best to answer them all. At that moment, yes, that moment was when I stood in front of my class, a proud Malaysian - talking about Petronas KLCC which is the tallest building in the world (at that moment). Later that year, when I went back to Malaysia, I bought some souvenirs including posters and keychains of KLCC (which I don't think I'll ever bought it if I did not went to the US - taking things for granted, eh?) for my professors and they really, i mean, really love it and appreciate my "ooh.. how nice of you.." gestures...*wink*


Now Dubai.. the most fast developing city at the moment - with all the construction projects going on, I wish I had the chance to be there, yet to see by myself how the city is getting developed. Being involve in one project is already considered as "experience of a lifetime" for me. It fascinates me so much - building designs, architectural details, structural and all the engineering elements are combined into impressive buildings.


I would love to go there some time. Not only for vacation, but also to observe the most fascinating city in the world with its teriffic state-of-the-art building and infrastructures.

This one is my favourite : A view from the future tallest building in the world, Burj Dubai - you can even see the shape of the earth!!
