Cool pix! Dayabumi surely was completed within 2 years, since the frame is steel instead of the usual concrete... Even the cladding is in place, considering the building is only halfway-up...

Speaking of steel buildings, other significant ones include The Weld Tower, Suria KLCC, and Maju Perdana Tower (the taller one)...

I am glad I witness the construction of Empire Tower, KL Tower and PTT all from the comfort of my classroom! :D

Lucky for me, my class are always on the skyline-side of the school and I always chooses to sit by the window hehehe :happy:

Baqthier, how do I upload the pics?

1) Upoad pics which you have to a pic host. I recommend this one -->
http://www.photobucket.com

2) Then type URL address of the pic(example: http://www.bumerang-tourism.com.tr/images/kuala-lumpur.jpg)

;)

As for the pics which are already placed online, no need to upload them just copy their address and do number 2) (some websites don't allow their pics to be linked though)
