Jan 2012 - Kuala Lumpur Getaway Day 3

Breakfast was at lot 10. We had a quick bite and did some last min shopping before we checked out from the wonderful hotel. 

 

After we checked out, we took the monorail to KL Sentral, that's where the ktm train station is located. The instruction on the tickets/ announcement wasn't so clear that we kinda lost at which is the arrival hall. The train delayed.

We got real bored that i decided to walk around the place, sadly there's nothing much to shop and i managed to buy some snacks on board.

Finally the train came. It was just like boarding the MRT in Singapore. We do not need to queue for the custom clearance. We took the escalator down, find the session of the train, board the train, find the seats and that's all. 

Some shots while waiting for the train to move. 

Our huge luggage.

Some random shots after we left KL Sentral and headed to the next stop, the journey was slow and long that we took a short nap before we woke up at the next station.

 

The daring us went down the train when it stopped to take some quick shots, the train stopped for less than 5 mins.

The whole journey was slow. We managed to bought this cold noodles on board. This train that we took do not have a canteen :( 

The whole journey took more than 6 hours, by the time we reached Singapore, it was dark. 

I experienced what my mum meant that when the train reached JB, we do not need to alight and queue for the custom clearance. The officer actually came on board and signed on our passport, they used a red pen to sign on it.

By the time we reached Singapore, i received sms saying that my baby niece is out to see the world.

Jan 2012 - Kuala Lumpur Getaway Day 1 part 2

Although i have been to Kuala Lumpur a few times, this is the first time that i went to KLCC. Tourist Photos again. 

We manage to have a nice angle with the two towers. A few pictures before the Security Guard   said that we are not suppose to climb on the benches. 

Like this photo of the 4 of us. 

After the pictures taking of the external building, how can we not shop inside the mall. The mall was huge but we were not very interested with the atas shopping. 

A few night photos before we left KLCC and headed to Jalan Alor for dinner. 

we do not want to take the lrt and change monorail so we decided to walk back to bukit bintang. We are looking at the map and searching for our way. It was a long walk, 20-30 mins, before we reached our hotel. We decided to slack and rest our legs in the hotel before we headed for our dinner which is 10mins walk away. 

We headed to the stall that we went for the yummy chicken wings. The wings are damn nice that we wanted to tabao back to the hotel for supper but we were too full. It is located right at the end of Jalan Alor street. 

Some of the dishes that we ordered. 

We did a bit of shopping around Jalan Alor before we end the night. By then our legs were so tired and we were too exhausted from all the walking. We ended the night at eleven or twelve plus so we will have the energy to shop for the next day. 

Jan 2012 - Kuala Lumpur Getaway

a short getaway to Kuala Lumpur on Jan 2012.

The reasons for this getaway are: 

1. my sis virgin plane experience. 

2. is to experience the KTM train ride from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore. 

This time round we booked Jetstar instead of Tiger. Jetstar is much more convenience as compare to Tiger because we do not have to travel to budget terminal and Terminal 1 have so much more to walk and foods to choose from. 

We left home as early as 7am because of the 1 hr plus ride to Airport for the 1040hrs ride. Some pictures on the way to the airport. Although it was 7plus in the early morning, the train was filled with people, we can barely get any seats. 

Checked in 

breakfast at Ya Kun. 

Some random tourist shot we before we realized that we gonna be late for the plane, i think we were the last few to board the plane.

Almost missed the plane but still have the time to take tourist photos. 

Finally on board and its pictures time again and look who i bring inside my bag? Its the cookie boy! 

The half an hour journey was smoothed and we reached Kuala Lumpur International Airport. 

We had a hard time searching for the bus terminal where we can take the cheapest transport from KLIA to KL sentral for RM 10. We had to approach the police and asked for the way. Finally 4 tickets to KL Sentral. The bus journey was rather long that we fell asleep. 

When we reached KL Sentral, we had to take the monorail before we reached Bukit Bintang where our hotel is located at. This is a budget trip so we take the public transport most of the times, this is a way to explore too. 

Finally, we checked into the hotel. We booked the Deluxe Room, on that day they ran out of Deluxe room and they upgraded our room to Executive room. Whoots! Executive Room is so much bigger and spacious with a living room. 

We did some unpacked here and there and off we went for A&W for dinner, it is located nearby our hotel, a street away. D treated us this, i think. 

After lunch, we went to time square to purchase the bus ticket for the sisters as they need to head back to Singapore a day earlier, Sunday, as Annie will be taking her O level result on Monday. 

After that we took a cab to Mid Valley Mall, the mall that i thought i have never go before but i went before during one of the families trips. Mid Valley Mall is a big malls but there's nothing special. We decided to change the destination to KLCC for some photo. 

The clever us saw a advertisement on shuttle bus from Mid Valley Mall to the nearest LRT which was a few station away from KLCC. We had a hard time searching for the bus stop but we managed to find it in the end. 

These are the tokens for the Rapid KL. 

i should end this post here, shall continue the rest of the day 1 entry too.
