Buildings in JB City

Now, these was taken a few weeks ago, on April 6. My sisters' birthday. Yes, sisters. I have two sisters, both were born on April 6, different year. Not twins, though. I took these when I was on an errand with my sister, my brother and my niece.

just parked the car.. well the buildings are not clear from here. wait for a while.. am going out..


the Sultan Ibrahim Building where most of the state government offices are situated at... in the not so distant future they will all move to Nusajaya (JSNAC).

and this is the building for the Johor Military Force (JMF) or Askar Timbalan Setia Negeri ~ the private royal military force of the Johor Royal Family.

a view of the Jalan Abdullah Ibrahim on one Sunday Afternoon...

this is the entrance to the Johor Corporation Tower, which is adjacent to the Kotaraya Building..

now, it's clear. much better. presenting The Puteri Pacific Hotel (left) and the Ansar Tower (right).


and this.. is the well-known Persada Johor. I mean this building, which looks like the shape of a hat. The unique roof is actually shaped after the State Ruler's Official Hat. You can read all about it in the Persada website.

the taller building would be the Landmark Tower and the slightly shorter one is the Tropical Inn Hotel.

muahahahha strawb.. i tengok pun sama ngan u gak.. biasa je, manader lawa pun.

yang persada roof tu, memula dulu dalam booklet masa the launch of persada, dia tulis roof tu ambil sempena topi JMF punya askar. Now dalam site dia kata cam state ruler's official hat.

kalau aku tak baca dalam site/book, pun tak perasan dia rupa hat hehehehe.. MAS office pun dah pindah situ from Menara Pelangi.
