Jan 2012 - Kuala Lumpur Getaway Day 2

We got up pretty early on the Second day, due to the tight schedule. We started the brunch with PaPa John's, its a must have for my sis for the KL trip. They serve pizza that are thin and crispy. Personally, i think it's worth trying if you like thin pizza. We were the early birds in the restaurant. 

The set that we ordered: 

 

After the brunch, we shopped around times square. I have never complete the mall although i have been there for a few times. shopping tips: for cheap bargain, always start from the top floor, the items selling in the first few levels are quite atas. 

My sis managed to get the shades at a reasonable price. 

I had my shared tea for 20% off, seriously!

I love the hotel location. I can always head back to the hotel to put down my shopping bag and rest before i start on another mall. Times square and Piccolo hotel are located needs only 1 monorail station away or 10 mins walk away. We are the budget type, so we always walk from the hotel to the shopping malls. 


We did not stay too long in Times Square, as there are better bargains at Sungei Wang shopping mall. I loves how cheap the things are, we managed to get 3 sets of earpiece at RM 15 each with a not so bad sound quality. Well, we were too busy shopping, hence, no pictures. 


After Sungei Wang, We went back to the hotel to place our shopping bags before we head over to The pavilion for dinner. Our hotel is a street across Sungei Wang shopping mall. There is an overhead bridge linking the monorail and lot 10.
 

Dinner was at some atas chinese restaurant, located at the basement of the mall. The foods were so-so. 

We did some last min shopping before the sisters took their coach back to Singapore. The coach tickets was bought when we reached KL, that explained the relatively cheap as compare to the tickets we intend to buy online. 

To get the coach ticket: it is located outside times square, when you exit time square, there will be taxi everywhere, walk towards left side and you may see a counter below the overhead bridge. That's where we got the tickets and boarding for the bus. The bus go by Second Link stopped at Tanmah Jurong and after that Golden Mile. 

We ended the night quite late, as the departure time of the coach is 2355hrs. 

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.
