On a hot, humid and hazy morning in December, 22 ibu members and staff braved the traffic into town and ventured up the massive Ferris Wheel structure aptly named EYE ON MALAYSIA at Taman Tasik Titiwangsa.
One member had come with her husband and children and had originally not intended to go up due to a fear of heights. However, she braved up at the last minute and decided to go on the ride after all!
Due to pre-purchased group tickets, there was no trouble with queues, something the Eye is famous for.
We were allowed 6 ppl to a car instead of the usual 8 which can often be too crowded. The structure is massive but the cars quite small. It's a bit scary at first but you get used to it pretty soon if no one is rocking the car!
There was not much of a view because it was hazy, but the view is pretty impressive regardless. You get the feeling the KL Tower and KLCC are right next to you!
The Eye goes four rounds ( 12 minutes ) per ticket, however, after about two rounds most of us had had enough. Some of the kids however, couldn’t get enough and squealed for more.
After the ride we all gathered together to have a drink and take pictures at the Eye Café.
The day out was an enjoyable one, a nice change of scene. A chance for old friends to catch up, and also to make new ones. The Eye is now being dismantled as its’ tenure in Malaysia is over. So those who missed it in 2007 may have to visit London in the future to experience the Eye Experience!
On December 7th 2007, 22 kids and their parents enjoyed discounted rates to a beautiful play entitled Aesops Fables by booking in advance with ibu, enabling us to get great discounts for the best seats. Look out for future offers, and book EARLY!
