Louis Vuitton is now in KLCC, Malaysia

The Petronas Twin Towers naturally won hands down when it came to selecting a national icon for the special edition LV watch to commemorate the opening of Louis Vuitton Store KLCC.

The Speedy Twilight Kuala Lumpur, featuring two diamond-encrusted towers with a diamond-encrusted crescent moon, is housed within a white gold square case, against a mother-of-pearl backdrop.

The total count of precious gems stands at 488, with 319 white diamonds and 169 sapphires set to dazzle the wrist. Only eight Speedy Twilight Kuala Lumpur watches are available and that, too, exclusively in Malaysia.

For a touch of luxury, the MYR180,000 timepiece is presented in a Damier canvas mini trunk lined with coral micro-fibre.

This will definitely be a collective item, as there are limited edition Speedy Twilight Paris featuring the Eiffel Tower, Hong Kong and Japan with their skylines. This is one expensive collective item, I must say.

The royal town of Seri Menanti

Negeri Sembilan is well known for its rich royal custom. Although it's not widely practiced these days, it still plays an important role in everyday life. Facets of it can be seen, not only in social interaction, but also in local architecture. One such customary eminence is the Seri Menanti Palace which enthralls every visitor as they explore the history of the palace.

Seri Menanti is known as the Royal Town of Negeri Sembilan. It is located about 40km from the town of Seremban and 14 km from Kuala Pilah town. Exquisitely designed with perfect architecture and lovely crafted emblems. The beauty of the palace is evident inside and out, enticing visitors to stay longer in the palace grounds.

The palace which belonged to the Yang Di Pertuan Besar (Rulers) once is now a museum. Royal paraphernalia like clothes, equipment. crafts, beds, banquet, royal chair and more are kept in its original placement. The lovely interior shows off some beautiful furnishings covered in gold cloth and design. The palace and its surroundings are so well maintained that it doesn't even look a year older than the day it was built.

Getting There:
Driving there from Kuala Lumpur takes about an hour by car. Take the Seremban / Labu highway. You could also opt for the commuter. Take the KTM from Kuala Lumpur and stop at Seremban station. From here, you can take cab to Seri Menanti.

Trader hotel review

I found this review from TraBuddy by Goodday

"I just got back from a business trip in KL where I stayed at Traders Hotel. It's a good business class hotel, rated 4 star, but more of 5 star to me. Quite like Intercontinnental Hotel in Hamburg where I stayed for one week in December last year."

"For venue, it's right next to the KL convention centre where I attended meetings and next to KLCC shopping centre. Although shopping is not my cup of tea, it's good to walk the mall (good exercise after all the feasting) and browse the shops and see what's the latest in fashion and more."

"What I particularly enjoyed most at the hotel besides the excellent breakfast spread was the skybar pool located at 33rd floor, not so much the pool, although it was great with spa, but more importantly, it's the VIEW of the manificent Petronas Twin Towers!! Best time to be there as I found - head for a swim at sunset.. and come back after dinner for a drink to catch the manificent twin towers lighted up. It's amazing!!"
