Goodbye KL....

...and off to our next destination,which is....

...... The Federal Capital,Putrajaya.

The Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque; aka Steel Mosque

Awesome point of view from PICC

You can see the PM Department Complex from this point; however the condition is so hazy that it is barely noticeable.

After the tour around Putrajaya,we later proceeded to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)-Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) to catch our flight home.

And here's the photo of the flight back home:

Sharklets! According to a friend of mine,it's the newest plane with sharklets on AK fleet! The rego was 9M-AQU.

AK A320s

Finally,AK QPR Jet.A first-time for me

MH B737-800

Still looking awesome,despite in old color

These were the first-timer for me:

The albino AK A320-200!

The MH A380!

Another EK bird,and this time it's A380!

Spotted another PIA A310-300.I've spotted another plane on the day we touched down.

Take-off!

Airborne view of Putrajaya

The space was good; for the brand-new aircraft

The cloud formation

Dinner on-board the flight

Got this one at last.Since I've spotted the actual plane at LCCT,so why not buying it instead?

Awesome feature on A320 sharklet

Going to touch-down soon!

Afterwards,our flight touched down safely at SBW; and for the overall the flight was so smooth,with less bumps (thanks to the sharklets).

Looking forward to fly to KL again sooner or later; especially when Malindo Air is launching its KUL-SBW flight with their B737-900ERs!
