Yeah Malaysia Here We Come Again :D

well hey hey..during my hmm 'bored in office hour?' let's review my trip to Sunway, KL, and Genting highland. Malaysia! yup yup. we were going there during the CNY. what do you call? another gateway?? :D yes it did. and so much fun. even though the tickets for the bus and the hotel really expensive, but we have so much fun.

DAY 1
started with looked for travel agent in Golden Mile Complex, Singapore. that was H-7 i think. many travel agent, so we chose Five Star. we paid for 450 SGD for 2 way transport by bus to PuduRaya Bus Terminal, KL, then 2 days staying in Pyramid Hotel, Sunway Lagoon, 1 way transfer to Genting Highland by bus, 1 day staying in Resort World Hotel, Genting. it was a little bit expensive. you can get half price for all those package if it was not festive season.
so we went to KL the first night by midnight bus. you can sleep in the bus. even thought it was a normal coach, it was convenient. the seat it's not too big although. arrived there at 5 am! O gosh! still so early. so we spent up in KFC. if you were really tire, you can book hotel in from of PuduRaya Station. they have a lot of backpacker hotel which charges you per hour. but after called the hotel for early check in, we decided to take taxi and visit the Petronas Tower.

WAW it was amazing!! :D we queued for the ticket. they opened the counter at 8.30. so we needed to wait for 1 hour and half? huh! but there were a lot of tourist queuing also! after took the ticket for 5pm visit. we decided to take taxi to Sunway. we took from outside the petronas, off course after took a picture in front of Petronas :D. a lot of taxi didn't want to use meter, so they offer us 30 Ringgit to Sunway. *but i read in Lonely Planet it will cost only 25 dollar* but you will never find the taxi! so if there is a taxi offer you 30 dollar just take it! finally we found a taxi using the meter, but it cost more! 50 dollar!!! :( i think they cheat the meter. after 20 minutes we arrived to the hotel. the hotel was big. they claimed as the big mall in Malaysia. it links to the mall and the theme park. location is very good if you want to spend day in Sunway.
after checked in, we got discount card for shopping :D. we got 10th floor! yey! the room was nice! have a big window seeing the water park directly. what a awesome :D. the bathroom also nice and clean. even though the room is not that big. :) view from the hotel's room



after rest for a while, we decided to have lunch in the mall. the mall was biiiiiiiiiiiig! they have like pyramid, even a lion landmark. then we went to play at Sunway. we chose Life Park? hahaha forget the name :D. got 20 % if you have DBS card! we paid around 40 ringgit?basically, we saw zoo, and bird park. that's all! hahaha :D. but it was attractive, even though there weren't a lot of animal. but you can just walk around. the bird park wasn't big also. but they didn't put the birds in the cage.
after we thought enough, we went back to the hotel to prepared for Petronas linked bridge visit. took taxi from hotel service. they charged you 35 dollar. in petronas, they took us in a small gallery that tell about history of Petronas. this gallery is almost like Science Museum, very attractive. you can watch how they built the tower, and all those sciences things. after waiting for about 20 minutes, they took us to the bridge which in 41st storey. for me it's not that WOW. cause it same with if you're in Singapore living in high storey, the view was totally *just okay*. BUT if you already got there, yeah better you go up la...
after finish sightseeing, we continued walking around in some mall. KLCC, pavilion, and STARHILL! dude you should go here. the interior was damn unique, *i like the toilet very much*, they put all the different material somehow become 1. we had dinner in Thai restaurant there while a jazz group playing in the main hall. the food were amazing and the couch also very convenient. after photo here and there, we still think to spend up night in Hard Rock Cafe..but too tired already. so we backed to the hotel.


DAY 2

today, we woke up with laziness because toot ired. we struggled to have breakfast in the lobby. like 4 star hotel standard, there were a lot of choices of food but somehow few of them has finished, need to wait about 10 minutes for the staff replaced the new one. after that, we hurry up to Sunway Theme Park counter. had some queuing already. we paid about 75 ringgit per person to get to water park, extreme park, and amusement park. OFF COURSE got 20% discount :D Thanks to DBS! yey! we decided to played extreme park firs such as, ex trail?, canoeing, went to longest bridge *which is i was scared the most*, then paint ball. then we tried some in amusement park play, liked roller coaster, niagara falls, hmm and a lot more. we REALLY having fun here! the water boom also okay..wich actually i prefer Bali water boom. did i mention about Bali Water boom previously??? I was COOL! :D love love love it...:))
we played there until it was raining and couldn't play anymore..hahahaha.. for dinner we took in Ole Ole Bali restaurant in Sunway mall. got 20 % discount. the FOOD WERE NICE! :D
okay then need to get ready for GENTING tomorrow! yippiye! :D

DAY 3

okay wake up again with struggle, then had breakfast again, then we waiting for a guy from travel agent picked us. we arrived at Genting after having afternoon nap in the bus :D. took about 1 hour to get there. Actually we went to Genting with high expectation. buuut the fog too thick and too cold until we felt like and Eskimo. after seeing around, that day was exactly 1st day at CNY, so crowded MAN! we never ride the attraction. even in the outdoor. we felt too cold. we need to walk around 15 minutes to arrive at the hotel. the hotel is not that big. the room is bigger than the Pyramid Tower. got 14th storey,clean but we need to ask for towel because our room doesn't provide it. that bath room is all black tiles with rain shower. quite nice actually. they also didn't provide breakfast :(
so we decided to visit the Ripley's Museum by 16dollar per person. its an unique old gallery, quite entertaining...they push us to take a pic in the entrance, we know they will ask us to buy it, BUT WE STILL BUY IT! hihihi never mind. cost about 40 ringgit to get 2 a5pic.
after that we or me actually bought cute sandal in VINCCI. believe it or not this indoor theme park has mall inside it. just see from the pic you know how does it like. if you stared up, you'll see roller coaster on your head,has artificial river with boat, etc etc. then we went to snow world, cost 18 ringgit per person! COLDCOLDCOLD. again take a pic and paid for 30 ringgit. had coffee break in Starbucks to enjoy this madness *so damn busy*, then played archery and bowling...
after feeling enough of PLAYING AROUND we went back to the hotel...

DAY 4

I wake early and see from our window room the magnificent scenery! i felt like in the top of world *hahaha* i can see clouds below, and it was totally bright and amazing. just imagine we were in 10000m from amsl!
having breakfast in the mall, see barongsai in hotel entrance, a kind of Chinese tradition custom to celebrate the new year, walks around in First World Hotel entrance which resembles to forest with their fake trees and animals..:D
