Look Out Point

It was a scorching hot day and the sun appeared like a huge ball of fire. The unbearable heat sucked up the moisture from the air and the air became still and dry. And my room had turned into a furnace. Though, the fan was switched on to its full speed, it did not clear away the hot air in my room. Instead, the lingering heat had made me so tardy and it appeared trying to suffocate me.

Fortunately, I was asked,out to Look Out Point to celebrate my friend, S.Lye birthday. I had managed to wriggle myself out of this hot situation before the stagnant hot air able to drown me! Look Out Point is about 40 minutes away from University of Malaya and it is located at the outskirts of KL city. It is a tranquil place high above 300meter sea level where visitors come here to indulge themselves with the night scenery of Kuala Lumpur and be mesmerized by the sparkling orange light emitted by thousand of households and the hustle-bustle of the city. Besides that, it is a perfect spot for couples to come dating and friends to celebrate birthday or let their hair down after tackling their onerous tasks for whole day.

There were not so many people when we arrived there since according to their website, Look Out Point attracts large number of visitors during weekends or public holidays. The place was not as cool as I imagined when I desperately yearning stepping out of my room.There is a flight of stairs to walk up before you reach summit where various restaurants are open to serve the visitors. There are a few (should be 4) restaurants available namely, Look Out Point Restaurant, Haven Restaurant, Gasoline and Panaroma Restaurant and we chose the latter to dine in. Panaroma Restaurant is the highest amongst the other 3 restaurants. There is even a tower like structure built to cater the customers who prefer enjoying their meals and scenery at a higher leval. Since, I am going to attend my college annual "prom night"and it is dire for me to keep slim, but, eventually I was overpowered by my voracious appetite and ordered a crispy chicken chop. It was an-OK chop, but the price certainly was reasonable(RM14.90) considering the panorama you can view at while gorging yourself on the food.

Since, we already celebrated once for S.Lye before coming he

re, so this trip was just an excuse for us to come to Look Out Point. We did not prepare any presents or birthday cake for him, just sang a birthday song for him before the day ended. Before we left at midnight, the weather had turned cooler. We could feel tinges of refreshing breeze caressing our cheeks, which was inexplicably pleasant! Later, we went to retrieve our car (the parking fee was just merely RM2)and bounded our journey back to UM.
