Live a Malaysian when in Malaysia!

Kuala Lumpur is truly the melting point of the world. It’s the place where the west meets the east. It’s the great bridge between the life you live today and the life you always wanted to experience.

Now picture this in your mind: While Kuala Lumpur city is amazingly metropolitan, it is surrounded by dense tropical rain forests with great scope for adventure. While the people themselves are predominantly of three Asian ethnicities, almost everyone speaks English. The diversity of people means that one can experience three different cultures at the same time, the cuisine, festivities, and history. All of this, in a comfortable English speaking neighbourhood. And beyond this, travelling from KL within Malaysia is easy and inexpensive. If you ever wanted to pack your bags for a holiday, KL should be right up there on your list!

Petaling Jaya (PJ as locals call it) is a satellite town of Kuala Lumpur. My time in PJ was a joy ride both because of the kind of destination Kuala Lumpur is, and the kind of host Mr Sim is. While Kuala Lumpur and the adjoining PJ have many popular tourist attractions, a lot of the local life is beyond what the tourists get to see. Mr Sim, my host in PJ (and now a very good friend) can lead you to the best places to experience the real Malaysia.

Everyone knows about attractions like Petronas Towers and Cameron Highlands, and I’m not going to touch that. Mr Sim led us to places where you can live the life of a Malaysian. Ming Tien food court (PJ’s largest food court), Crab Island, etc are examples. I also happen to enjoy Toddy (a kind of Palm Wine available only at very few places in the world) also.

While Malaysia, and Kuala Lumpur the city are a very compelling places to stay or holiday, what compliments the amazing place is Mr Sim’s friendship and tourist guidance. If you plan a visit or stay in Kuala Lumpur, I would recommend PJ for residence and Room4U for Mr Sim’s hospitality! I lived a Malaysian while in Malaysia

Langkawi Beaches

Langkawi, despite a less popular beach holiday destination compared to Phuket, Krabi, Koh Samui and Bali, it is a pure escape out of city’s hubbub given that Langkawi is free of traffic jams, congestion, but only rows and rows of greens and nature beauty. So if you decide on a beach getaway with lots of nightlife, go to Phuket or even Samui.

Langkawi is far more on clean and pure relaxation.

Its beaches are clean with soft white sand, but true bliss really shines are the cherished absence of continual beach hawkers who’ll bother and trouble your moment of zen with merchandise, including bracelets, fake tattoos, beach hats, beer, hair-braiding services and massages.

You will get to enjoy tranquility while watching the ever-changing sunsets over the Andaman sea.

Pantai Tengah and the adjoining Pantai Cenang are the two key beaches on Langkawi. They are relatively touristy, even though the beach at Pantai Tengah is more tranquil. Pantai Tengah fits everything we desire well, with plenty of shops and restaurants near the hotel; while Pantai Cenang has an array of bars and eateries around the beach, a pleasant way to spend an lovely evening. You will enjoy sunset drinks, watching water sport and take few sunset photos!

Pantai Cenang (Cenang Beach) is famous for its sunset, long white-sandy beach, clear blue waters, restaurants and bars, high-end resorts, inexpensive hotels as well as the many fun water activities that make it the liveliest of all Langkawi beaches. As the island’s most developed beach, there are nearby islands, such as Purau Rebak Kecil and Purau Rebak Besar, where tourists can go off island-hopping.

Besides, there are two popular tourist attractions nearby, the Laman Padi Rice Garden and Underwater World. Pantai Cenang is 25 km west of Kuah, the island’s capital and center of commerce.

Pantai Tengah (Tengah Beach) is popular for its clear blue water, a great choice for sisightseeing and photo-shooting, but not really for swimming due to crowded jellyfish. The beachfront is packed with cheap and high-end resorts, hotels and restaurants, the most famous of which is the open-air Lighthouse Restaurant and Beach Bar. Tengah is just 500 meters from Cenang Beach.

Kuala Lumpur DAY-NIGHT

Hypnotic Kuala Lumpur – Our metropolis as you’ve never seen her before.

This 5-month long labour of love by time lapse photographer Rob Whitworth highlights the beauty and bustle of Malaysia’s dazzling capital.

Kuala Lumpur Time Lapse: super-modern buildings juxtaposed with various cultural enclaves and with a little of Asia’s chaos thrown in. My time lapse explores how the city changes from day to night highlighting how spaces dramatically alter during the course of a few hours.

5 months. 400 hours of solid work. 4 cameras. 40 shoots. 640 gigabytes of file space. 19,997 photographs.

That’s how much work architectural photographer Rob Whitworth put in to create his dazzling 2 minute 36 second time lapse video of Kuala Lumpur.

When asked why he chose to create a time lapse video of Malaysia’s largest metropolis, Whitworth’s response is that Kuala Lumpur fascinates him.

“It’s hard not to be blown away by the Petronas Twin Towers. At night they are just beautiful. The towers, together with the monorail, give the city an almost science fiction feel.
“I was fascinated by the city’s mixture of super-modern buildings existing alongside its varied cultural enclaves and with a little of Asia’s chaos thrown in,”he tells Yahoo! Malaysia.

Whitworth, who works out of Singapore, says time lapse has always interested him. He recalls one of his first high school projects, which was to document the passing of time by photographing flowers and fruit in their prime and revisiting them a few weeks later.

“I was intrigued at how many things constantly go on all around us which pass by largely unnoticed. Time lapse provides a great way to use a camera to show the world as we cannot see it,” he says.

His love affair with time lapse videos has won him critical acclaim. A recent video of Ho Chi Minh City posted online went viral and garnered 1.5 million views. That same video also won the Jury Award at the recent EcoKnights KL Eco Film Festival.

Whitworth says he was drawn to the idea of exploring how Kuala Lumpur changes from day to night when he began his project here.

“I was walking down Jalan Alor shortly after arriving in KL. It struck me how much the street changed and transformed during the course of the day.

“I liked the idea of exploring how the city changes from day to night, how spaces dramatically change during the course of a few hours. This developed into one of the themes shown in the video of scenes switching from day to night,” he says.

But enough talk. Here’s Whitworth’s tribute to Malaysia’s modern marvel. Watch it for yourself and bask in the city’s radiance.

You are able to catch the Airport Coach bus service that departs from Jalan Duta Bus Station to KLIA. From KLIA, you can get a exchange to Sepang International Circuit via Taxi or Sepang Omni-bus. Alternatively, get the bus from Sentral Station to the Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) near KLIA. This service can drop you right in front of Sepang.
