Kuala Lumpur 2013 Day 2

Check out Kuala Lumpur 2013 Day 1 here!

We had discussed about breakfast and what time to start the day but Kakak and Abg’s family are not morning people so they wanted to skip breakfast. As for my group, which includes Mak and Jhon, we tend to wake up early on normal days so of course we will have breakfast. We paid for it didn’t us?

So my room was awake by 7:30am and left for breakfast buffet at 8:15am. I didn’t bother to fully style my hair or put on full make up because it’s not that we will go out soon anyways. The restaurant looked clean and have a wide variety of breakfast; Nasi lemak, roti prata, cereal, toasts and whatever lah. It was delicious and I took 3 servings. Opps! Lol this was also the time we noticed that there are the hotel was Indian dominated.

We took our time eating and by the time we were done, everyone was up and getting ready. I noticed Kakak and family was more or less done so I shooed them away to downstairs as they had 1hr before breakfast ends.

At 10am, we headed out to “Irfan’s” restaurant outside the hotel for Abang and family. Their roti prata was crispy yet fluffy leh.

We got confused with KL’s LRT/Monorail system for awhile we but we managed.

We eventually reached Bukit Bintang and walked to Berjaya Times Square.

We roamed the place as much as we could but spent most of the day at their indoor theme park. It would be my third time there but this time, with my siblings and the kiddos.

After the rides and early dinner, we took a MRT/LRT ride to Masjid India for their night market. It was confusing for a while but we made it safely. =)

Jalan Masjid India has mainly traditional malay outfits and Muslim garments. Mak was like a theme park of her own but she was a bit disappointed because she expected more. That does not mean she didn’t get anything okay? Her bag of shawls was probably 1kg worth!

We eventually went home after clearing the place and everyone was simply exhausted.

It was nice to be back to our hotel but DAMMIT! Something happened to us while in the lift! It was my bro and his family, Jhon and I with a group of Indian men in their 40/50s. Even before reaching the lobby, Kak Yana was way infront with the stroller with the men in between us so when we reached the lift lobby, naturally, we went in with her first.

It was not a big deal anyways because everyone gets to ride the elevator. We pressed level 32 and they pressed 16. For all I knew, the lift stopped at level 11 (swimming pool level) and bro went “EH!! Why you pressed?” I was at the other corner so I didn’t know what was going on but as soon as the men started to alight, I saw the buttons, it was freaking randomly pressed on at least 6 different floors!!! WTH!! The culprit went “oh no no!” Whatever you piece of dung! Who else could have pressed it when Jhon was near the other set of buttons?

What a way to end the night! We tried to let it go but come on… -_- Seriously?

After all that hoo-hah, we cleaned up and packed up for our early morning flight. I felt guilty because it was because of our religious classes on Saturday afternoon that we had to leave early but that’s the best we can do.

It was a very short trip with some bad moments but it was fun nonetheless


   

Kuala Lumpur 2013 Day 1

The entire family went for a Kuala Lumpur 3D2N trip except for Dad and Abg Jamil. There were a total of 7 adults and 3 children. The plan was initiated by Kak Yana who basically booked the hotel and flight. Although it’s considered as 3 days, we technically only had 1 ½ days to really travel because our SIN-KL flight was at 12:50pm on Friday and KL-SIN flight at 8:45am. Why so early in the morning? It was because of Jhon and I had classes to attend on Sunday afternoon that we could not miss. It’s a tight schedule but it will do.

Everyone met at Changi Airport at 9am and had breakfast before checking in. This is where temporary chaos happened. The kids were playing around while the adults were almost done eating and as Jhon was talking to me, we didn’t realized that Syihab was running towards him while turning his head left and right and all we knew, BAM!! He hit his head on the edge of the table and there was blood. Luckily, he hit his eyebrow and it was nothing serious but of course he cried and cried and cried. After much consoling, he was fine after that.

This is a first trip to Kuala Lumpur for some of us and first airline flight for the kids. Just 5 minutes in the aeroplane, Shibly slept and missed out the view from the sky. Well, at least he managed to enjoy the plane speeding and ascending. We went “Whoooaaaaa” as if it was a thrill ride lol. The journey was smooth although Irfan and Syihab had their whinny moments.

Touchdown was delayed and with a little traffic heading Grand Seasons Hotel, we settled down in our rooms at 4pm.

We got 3 rooms divided as Abg with family, Kakak with family and Jhon, Mak and I. My room and Kakak’s room was connected so it was easy to communicate.

At 5+pm we headed out to Petronas Tower via LRT. We were hot and luckily, we brought a stroller so we just pushed the kids around.

One thing for sure, everyone was hungry. We ate at the food court at Suria KLCC and why oh why Malaysians love to take the lift when it’s unnecessary? It was always full and us with a stroller ended up taking the escalator. -_-

Anyways, food was nice, too hungry to care and walked around the mall. There were intentions to go to a night market but wasn’t sure which one. We walked out and saw the colourful fountain outside. It was beautiful so we wanted to have a group photo which failed because whenever we were ready for a shoot, the water went to the other part of the fountain.

In the end, we gave up and we did it just in time because just a few seconds later, the water performance went all out and sprayed water out to the pavement for at least 3-4m away!! We almost got wet! I bet the Malaysians were expecting and eager to see it happened. Lol

lol Insert Indian music. It looks like there were dancing but just trying to take photos for the twin towers.

We managed to get a 7-seater taxi and found ourselves at Damar Kota Uptown, a night market that closes at 3am. When we arrived, it was 9pm and some shops are still opening so we went to the nearby food stalls for food and snacks.

The night market was quite big and yes, items were cheap. Shoes and shirts going at 10RM. There were also toys, scarves and pins. The place was hot and everyone was sweating. Fortunately, the kids did not turn majorly cranky. Everyone at the stalls loved Syihab and kept trying to get his attention. Hehe

After 2 hours or so, we went back home. I kept asking if the family if they wanted to extend their stay because we didn’t cover the entire market and the taxi was coming. But no one wanted to but we reached in Singapore, regret. Haiyah..

Anyways, trip back to the hotel was fast and smooth and we were all cleaned up by 12am.
