It's Sultan Abdul Samad Building Again


The Sultan Abdul Samad Building is the centrepiece of colonial architecture in Kuala Lumpur. Many historical events had been held in front of this building. Among them was the declaration of independence of Malaysia (Malaya then) on 31 August, 1957 and the lowering of the Union Jack. On 1 January 1982, the clock tower became the venue for another historic event when the time between Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak were standardized. A prominent feature of the Sultan Abdul Samad building is the red bricks with the white plaster lined arches, gaining it the "Blood and Bandages Building" title. The building has three towers. The central clock tower and two smaller towers flanking it. All three towers are topped with onion shaped copper domes.

What better way to personalize your sketchbook than to make it yourself?
Finally I done my own sketchbook with 96 pages of 5.6"(W)x 8"(H) on 135 gsm paper.
