Finally a trip!

It been at least 2 years since i went on a trip and thanks to the companionship of my colleagues, we plan a trip to KL one month ago.

21 April
Camping at my colleague house as we are taking a super early flight.
Flight to take off @ 6 plus but must be @ airport @ 4 plus.
After 2 assignments in the week and a 3 hours lesson, i headed to her house and can you imagine, i step in at 10 mins approximate to 12pm! So after a bath and me being overexcited, didn't sleep much and off to the airport!

22 April
Reach budget terminal and it reminds me too much of old airport as it is really a far call from T1, 2 & 3. So off we are to check in, had a light breakfast of bread, soft boil egg and Tim sum. Off Singapore and landed in KL. Once reached, i really appreciate Singapore budget terminal as in comparison, the differences is huge and it is really small. missed flying by plane so much once on plane. so we reach and with our research, we took the skybus to KL sentral and took their monorail to our hotel; Melia hotel (directly opposite bejayan times square). walk round the shopping malls (low yat, sugei wang...). tired and back to hotel for a rest. waited an hour for hotel room and the front desk keep giving us welcome drinks but we just wanted our room for rest! so lastly, they swap our room and gave us. we requested for a king size but was given two single so troubled housekeeping to join our bed... haha....we are lucky to have 2 pillow and a blanket each!

after much rest, off to Chinatown we go! we have a sumptuous meal, claypot rice, sambal fish, bbq items and more.... we went to walk their night market and am please with my "sha jia" skills! $ 120 bag for 60 and 45 wallet for 20! yeah! love it so much, the pleasure of successful getting the stuff at the $ i think it was worth! Had a long day and had a nice walk hunting for durian after putting down our 'war' prize. the durian people really want to cheat us, RM17 for 1kg for normal durian and it is approximate RM50 for one durian!! OMG! so we walk and had corn on the cob....

ended the day with a relaxing bubble bath in the hotel!

23 April
started the day with strawberry and a nice movie on star world and off to conquer the shopping district once again! first, off to A&W. wasn't as fantastic as expected. walk to Pavilion and all stuff are CONTROL (control price with exchange rate factored in) so it wasn't worth buying any. walk around and all stuff are CONTROL.... so no shopping prize :( went for massage. RM75 for an hour and a half.... shiok but still arching for that massage.... off to sungei wang for my spectacles.... two pair with high index @ RM 340!! isn't that cheap! wanted to have an image makeover with haircut but budget have been spent finished so maybe next time :( tired us headed back to hotel to put our stuff and after much slacking we decided to move our body to bejayan time square! argh it is so big that 3 hours just fly past so fast we didn't finished shopping even 1/3 of it!!
ended with supper from KFC and KFC in KL is really better! bought krispy kreme for family....
had a fulling stomach to a good night sleep.

24 April
woke up with the idea of filling my stomach with hotel BUFFET breakfast! how i wish they had scrabble egg but am satisfied with sunny side up and omelet... half boiled was disappointed, it was watery like 1/4 percent cooked only. had a bowl of cereal, a plate of nasi lemak, bowl of been hoon soup , ham, sausages and bread! eat lots and lots! filling! went back to room to enjoy our last day in KL and off we are to airport. On the skybus, we just realise that we were cheated. We wanted to buy return ticket on the 1st day we reached but the person gave us to tickets instead. they refuse to allow us to exchange. luckily it was not that expensive or we will be so angry.
reached airport very early, had a meal at OLD TOWN COFFEE and most nonsense chatting and poof am back in Singapore.

Thing i learnt:
it is really easy to travel in KL.
there is famous Amos in every shopping mall that i went.
sungei wang and bejayan time square is really big and confusing esp sungei wang.

Mishaps:
lost my ezlink card (found @ home)
left my tee shirts @ colleague house
losing way in sungei wang and wasted much time trying to find exit
cheated by the bus conductor of skybus

To conclude, it was a super good experience and has really energised me!
