A day in Putrajaya

My dad came back from Penang and was here for the holidays, so during the whole week he took us out to places and also to hunt for food! Which is like, my favourite hobby lol.

So after The Geographer Adventure (read my earlier posts), on Monday we went to Putrajaya and visited this hotel called Pullman Hotels & Resorts. My dad was the project manager (or something) for this project, so it's kind of like, he's involved in building this hotel (:

The hotel has a few cultural designs like, Malay, Chinese, Indian. It's quite cool.

A place for chillin' out. We came in through here not the lobby lol (:

We went up to the lobby, and explored the place.

The drinks bar is kinda cool! :P

I think this part is the Malay design.

Photobucket

Right right? The mini roofs are like the ones you see in Malay kampungs :P

Interesting designs. Very intricate too.

Moving on to the Chinese design. They're just next to each other actually.

It's like in the olden days during the Chinese emporers' time lol.

Looks familiar? It's the symbol that is usually associated with the Chinese palace in the olden days...

Moving on to.. I'm not sure what design is this. Heh. It looks.. Balinese? *shrug*

Photobucket

Me and sis were busy camwhoring only.. LOL :P

Back inside the hotel! We sort of sneaked up to the first floor..

And then we went out to the rooftop...

Photobucket

The sun was too hot, eyes cannot open :/

Photobucket

They have a rooftop swimming pool!! Arghhh it looks so fun! Oh and there was this "ang mo" aka foreign family playing catch in the pool and they were speaking in mandarin! Awww so cute.. :P

A bird's eye view of Putrajaya.. (:

Photobucket

The streets were really quiet - usually it already is, but since it is the Raya holidays, it was even quieter. (Y)

Photobucket

That's the Maritim Center with the Putrajaya bridge at the background.

Photobucket

Inside the gym. There were practically mirrors glued to every surface of the wall. They certainly make the gym look like there's no ending to it huh xD

Photobucket

After that, we went to Alamanda for a movie. We could have explored the whole place - it was huge - but we didn't have enough time as I wanted to catch The Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

It was a great and awesome movie. The story was so moving that I teared up a couple of times. I want to download the movie OST :D

I think there's a small park outside Alamanda if you walk further down the pathway.. I love bamboo trees - they give a serene and relaxing feeling. So Japanese too :P

Photobucket

I remembered this poem "The Road Less Taken" by Robert Frost which we studied in Form 4. I love that poem so I edited this picture in remembrance of it hehe...

Photobucket

And I saw this advertisement which I thought was cute :P

Photobucket

Have you tried Saxbys' ginger beer? It's good. Real stuff there.
