"Putrajaya"

Went to Putrajaya during the one-week break. "Putrajaya?! Why Putrajaya la??" Err...because it is our country's administrative centre? Haha...actually, I heard a lot about the fantastic buildings that have been constructed there, inspired by Islamic architecture.
The first place that we went is the most iconic building of Putrajaya. It is the Prime Minister's office. Chances are, you'd have seen it on the papers and TV.
Putrajaya Mosque. It was Friday prayers' time. So the square is empty...

A few more views around the place... Look out for the unique bridge in the background ;) Putrajaya has quite a few of them!
Flags in the main garden. Got a fountain there as well...

Another iconic place, the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC). According to my sis, the building looks like a UFO that has just landed! :P


More pictures, of the road leading to PICC, the amazing number of flags there, a funky bridge in the making and an odd-looking lamp post!

And here are several other interesting buildings that can be seen along the way. Some are already occupied by the Ministries, some still under construction...




And finally, on the way out, caught a glimpse of this pic:
Just like in the newspapers! :D Although it was freakin hot that day, (reached there at 12pm), I think Putrajaya is worth a visit. At least once... ;)
