KL 18 19 20 March 2011
Wow finally got time to update my blog haha. I'm just back from Kuala Lumpur, went there with few colleagues. This was my 1st time to KL (If not then the last time was when i was very young.) The Royale Bintang hotel 3days 2nights and 5STAR travel coach cost $200/pax.
The coach ride was pretty long, around 5hours. We stopped over at Yong Peng for lunch. I tried their famous fishball noodles. The noodles looked interesting with the black sweet sauce. But i don't like the taste of the noodles.
One thing good about the coach was the movies. I watch "2012" during the long ride to KL. "2012" reminded me about the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Pretty terrible state. This is my hotel Royale Bintang. Located at Bintang walk. Very good, just walking distance to the shopping centers.
I stayed at the 8th floor. From the corridor i could see the PETRONAS Twin Towers. Actually we planned to go up the PETRONAS Twin Towers, but in the end put off the idea. You have to start queuing as early as 6am and only the first 400 people were allowed to enter the tower.
The first meal i had here was A&W! Must try their famous root beer float! It only cost $4+ SGD for this meal. We ordered additional waffle ice-cream :)
On our first day, we walked to Sungei Wang Plaza. This shopping center is a shopping heaven for ladies. 90% of the shops were ladies wear and bags. Nothing much for guys to shop haha. For the first time i tried pedicure there. I'm not the only guy doing pedicure there haha! I go for a scrub to remove the callus. Cost me RM45. Think its worth a one time experience haha.
On the 2nd day we tried our buffet breakfast at our hotel. Quite common hala food.
My friend said their fried egg must try! You can choose which ingredient to add, like Subway? Haha. Egg was nice!
Today we took alot of the train services. There were many train services from different companies, so we need to buy a lot of single trip tickets when transferring from one train to another.
This is the Monorail. Looks like our LRT. Small and fast. Inside the cabin also nothing special. Did you see my camera advertisement in the video? Hehe.
We transfered KTM train to Mid Valley Megamall. Wow this train waiting time was approx 40mins! Really made us wait until the cows come home! They had a screen showing the arrival time, but don't be fool by it. The arrival time keeps changing! Now the screen says arrival time 4.20pm, the next time you look at it, it will jump to 4.30pm. Due to its very slow frequency of the trains, you be sure the train will be very packed. And the best thing was the train inside was very smelly. Like they really needed a good scrub.
They have a middle section only for the ladies commuters. Pretty good for ladies to squeeze without the fear of molesters haha.
Mid Valley Megamall inside got Metrojaya which was similar to Metro, but price cheaper abit. I bought some Hush Puppies socks and a Arena swimming googles. One cafe here worth trying is GARDEN cafe. The decro was very nice! White classic theme! And alot of flowers!
Look at the piano inside a cage?!
I ordered a Irish ice coffee, not very sweet. Even their stir was a flower.
They have a 2nd level too! Beautiful shot of the stairs.
The rest of the retails here were those retails you can find in Singapore. This must be their Toyasrus! But inside not very big, in fact quite small.
At evening we went to Stadium Putra to watch SJ3 concert. I never watch, i only follow the female colleagues to the stadium. Pretty crowded there. In fact a lot of malay girl fans too.
We went back to fetch the girls after the concert as KL is not the safest place on earth.
Time for supper! Tonight was crowded at Bintang walk! Look at the crowd!
See the pink guy? This kind of "man-statue" was commonly seen at Singapore too.
Now "snake-man" was more interesting. Free to take pictures with snake! Looks like no license one, so didn't take picture haha!
We had supper at Outbreak, BB park. This place is like our Clarke Quay for drinking and chill out.
On our last day we went to Berjaya Times Square. This is a more high class shopping center. Inside was very big, about 2 ION shopping center combined with 7 levels of retails.
Have you seen a theme park inside a shopping center? You can find roller coaster inside Berjaya Times Square! Awesome! Not just a puny roller coaster! I wanna try! But no one dares to try with me. The entry is RM40, which is like less than $20 SGD.
Just before leaving back to Singapore, it rained heavily. I went outside my hotel and capture some last minute shots. Overall i think KL is more suitable if you are a shopping goer. Malacca is more for eating and visiting historic sites.
I like this particular shot very much. Very artistic ^^
