Memorable Sky Bridge Visit

After the encounter with that excited guy (read my last post), I managed to get to the event on time.  The dialogue session was indeed mind-provoking, I was brought to think deeply about some things in my life - which might be the cause to my unusually deep post last night.  Towards the end of the session, everyone who participated was refreshed, physically and mentally.  We were really lucky to be able to join that session.

After that mental workout, the organizer announced that they have arranged for a special visit to KLCC's Sky Bridge.  Most of us were excited, since that would be our first time experience.  So we gathered noisily at the lobby, squeaking and revealing our childish side (yes, including the men).  There were also those who was suspiciously silent - I found out later that they are actually afraid of heights, but wouldn't want to miss this golden opportunity!

At 4.55 pm sharp, two men gave us a short brief on safety precautions and we got up the elevator... to Level 42!  Yes, I put exclamation mark there in my last sentence because it's something really special.  You see, the Sky Bridge has two levels - level 41 for the public and level 42 for special delegates and people.  We got out at level 42, so it only make sense that I'm all excited - I feel special, theeehe!

We were given more information on the construction and design of the structure (including the towers) as we got out of the elevator, but I wasn't paying attention.  My attention was focused on the open tunnel ahead, how beautiful the sight was - glittering metal against afternoon sunlight!  I bet most of the delegates had the same thing in their minds too.  After a few minutes, we were allowed to get onto the bridge.  So we went, snapping photos at every angle, almost losing our composure and betraying our 'future-corporate-leaders' image.  No, actually, we dropped our professional caps, and behaved like over-grown kids -- even the big shots from the organizing company!

I had my finger constantly on my phone's snap button and got quite a number of photos.  Although not all are good, I found one that I like the most.  It's not really a nice shot, but I like it because of the feeling I get everytime I remember that this is the only place in the world you can see both towers at the closest distance.  And to remember the transformation I witnessed amongst the delegates.

I have so much more to share, but my chest is bursting with excitement and I just couldn't find the words to describe.  All I know, it's definitely a treasured moment and I will remember this 'adventure' for the rest of my life!
